Rewatch the video: https://pscp.tv/TESOnline/1ZkKzOVWDLvGv

-Mini trial coming, you kind of choose the difficulty. Hardest mode is "skipping" all the mini bosses, because then you fight them with the main final boss. Easier would be to defeat some/all minibosses as you encounter them. Polymorph for the hardest of hard mode (I think I heard it doesn't drop every time though?)

-Crazy king battleground mode

-Performance improvements, 15-20% increase in FPS overall. All platforms

-Trait tracker! See what items you have that you need to research!

-TRAIT CHANGING! You'll be able to change the trait on weapons and armor to any trait you have researched! Though.. there's another portion to that system they didn't discuss.

-New master/maelstrom (ability altering) type weapon!

-PTS later this month

    For those that missed.

    Clockword City
    DLC the size of thieves/dark brotherhood

    New Trial
    -New weapons
    -Polymorph for hard mode (not 100% drop)

    Traits tracking system.

    Change traits on weapons/armour if you know them (RNG fix)

    You can also watch the video back for things I missed or to see for yourself (you can see Rich get a camera kiss).

    I can't help but think that whatever part of the system Rich didn't mention.. isn't exactly the easiest to do/get...

    Or it's RNG to get it. Eeek.

    Trait changing. Rip weapons market. And one of the few stuff left worth farming on trials. Not sure how I feel about it.

    Its ok, you just know there will be a super rare (more chance of seeing three unicorns at a council meeting) crafting component that you will need to be blessed with by RNG, then take to the blessing alter to have it cleansed and refined and combined with 9 other super rare crafting components which have been cleansed and refined, which can only be combined when the planets are aligned in a slightly off line, and the moon is full on the third wednesday after the winter solstice.

    In short, I wouldn't worry too much about the market. :) This is ZoS. XD

    Aww, no fix for animation canceling or replacement of the trade guild system? Pity, the game will still be flawed at the most fundamental level.

    Well maybe they will tie-in trait change to macguffins bought thru writ vouchers so that there can be a beneficial function commodity coming out of that system on an ongoing basis and not tie it to crown store purchases.

    maybe a 100 voucher ,macguffin expended for each trait change?

    No? Also, this approach to problems wont keep the game from bleeding players. Poor call.

    The way he dodged the question makes me wonder if it's limited to crafted and/or non-dropped-set items. :\

    But having to find an item that's super rare ala Nirncrux, Aetherial Dust, etc. to re-trait also seems likely. I would be happy to be proven wrong!

    New master/maelstrom (ability altering) type weapon!


    What does this mean?
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    What does this mean?

    Master Weapons buff the effects/strength of weapon skills.

    Maelstrom Weapons buff the effects/strength of weapon skills.

    These new weapons will consist of an ability-altering effect in the same way but for different weapon skills (one for each skill line).

    You know how the maelstrom is for wall of elements? These weapons would effect a different ability @BlackbirdV
