PTS Patch Notes v3.3.0

Soooooo Medium armor still sucks for survivability. Cool. Light users have multiple shields, Heavy users...next, but Medium get no love to survivability. Why?

Will existing level 50 characters get the rewards for each previous level Such as the Housing Storage at level 18 ?

This, especially since all 14 slots are L50

And again no defense buff to medium armor, thanks a lot for nothing. Why did I even hope for medium armor being a viable choice in duels again (after you shitted on it for 1,5 years now).

OdinForge

I see some good stuff here.

But the most important thing is that they budged on AOE caps, removing capped secondary effects would be a strong follow-up.

On ESO Live they said they would be making a 15th character slot available.

Battlegrounds

• Increased the Alliance Point rewards for your team’s placement in Battlegrounds. This equates to the following:
  • 100% increase in AP if your team comes in first place, or a new total of 12,000 AP
  • 175% increase in AP if your team comes in second place, or a new total of 11,000 AP
  • 400% increase in AP if your team comes in third place, or a new total of 10,000 AP

Because everyone deserves a trophy... *rolleyes*

This is a decent move for trying to get more people playing BGs but seriously... a difference of only 2k or 1k AP for winning first place is kinda lame. If you are increasing the AP by 400% for third place and 175% for second, it takes away from the reward of winning first. Give first place more or cut the increased gains for second and third. Participation trophies are lame.

The 10k AP for participating is not the problem, as long as players only receive upon completion of the match. Losing a BG match ought to grant more AP than the amount of resources you can capture in that time. But yes, winning first place ought to grant much more than a 2k bonus.

I don't agree, actual alliance war in cyrodiil should award more AP in all circumstances. Capturing cyrodiil objectives contribute to the actual alliance score and campaign. BG are just foolish games distracting from the actual war.

"Rewards for the Worthy mails now only grant a guaranteed Transmutation Geode once per day per account."

This is a dumb change. If I can do Undaunted dailies on each of my characters for multiple geodes, why can't I at least PVP on multiple characters for multiple geodes? You're setting it up to where people will only go to PVP for the 30 minutes it takes them to get the 20k AP for Rewards for the Worthy and then stop for the day. Why not add geodes as rewards to the Battleground dailies, or to the Kill 20/Capture/Scout dailies?

Because a normal undaunted pledge give 1. Vet gives 1-3. Vet HM gives 1-5.

RFTW 4-25

From experience... Most vet HMs give you 1.

Wardens got a slight buff

Boss enemies can only be set Off Balance once every 15 to 20 seconds. After the first Off Balance debuff ends on a boss enemy, they will be immune to subsequent Off Balance debuffs until this immunity duration is over.

RIP Heavy Attack builds.

RIP magDK´s,......

But they were already dead

So no Shadow Image fix?
Healing ward fix?

Shadow Image is still being worked on, but will be put into a patch as soon as there's a tested fix. Will check on Healing Ward, I thought there was a fix for that in this update.

Ty sir.

Undaunted pledges also give you Undaunted keys (not to mention take you through dungeons where decent sets are dropped). RftW give you neither of those things. The increased amount of Transmute stones in RftW was (at least taken by the PVP community as) the long-awaited boost to RftW's desirably that we've been asking for for a long time.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Two gap closer abilities seem to be missing from the patch notes: Empowering Chains & Silver Leash.

Are these not receiving the dmg nerf like the other ones?

MissBizz

RIP Jorvuld’s Guidance.

You're going to get with the nerf bat, but we will always remember in PTS 1.. there was hope that something looked as juicy as SPC.

CrazYDunm3r

The [snip] power lash buff... I'm crying with joy. And AOE fixes and and... Thanks ZOS

Edit: I'm a PvP player so that is why I have this "buff" opinion

[Edited to remove profanity]

irstarkey57

Everyone saying the changes look great. Are you not seeing the large nerf to offbalance, aka 10 percent damage nerf across the board?

Checkmath

and i thought, they want to do something about ballgroups....then they removed aoe caps.....

TomCarterESO

So the level up rewards that are revcieved every 5 levels, do we still get these rewards if we’re already Level 50? @ZOS_GinaBruno

jaye63

But.... but... (stammers while thinking of something to complain about)

Bislobo

GUYS GUYS! I know what happened... FENGRUSH is now working at Zenimax Studios.

No. This was confirmed on ESO Live @TomCarterESO

A 15th character slot will be available to purchase.

Many of the big rewards (such as crates and mount) are 1 time per account anyways.

Oh, and it's that 10k horse from the stables..

Ratzkifal

I feel a disturbance in the forum - as if thousands of memes about things ZOS needs to fix just cried out in pain (and died).
