Spellcrafting

Im_MegaDeath

So when spell crafting comes out im worried it will make the game focus on Magic mains and make them overall better than STAM in PvP. Can we expect stam to get support from this new system also? @TESOnline

We don't know if spellcrafting is for sure coming out. It's been in the game files for awhile, but ZOS hasn't made an official statement on if it's coming with the next chapter. So, basically, don't get excited for something with no official confirmation.

@Im_MegaDeath I am pretty sure that if you watched that quakecon 2014 video eso was on they said some spells will include stam morphs.

HONESTLY we really don't know whats coming until ESO says its here. It is nice to speculate and dream though.

im sure stam will get some love when or IF spellcrafting comes out

Yeah I seen the video I missed that statement tho thanks for that ^_^ and as for it being announced or not I could care less. my worries were if it was only supporting half of our combat.

I do see this coming to the game tho regardless of announcement.

Im_MegaDeath

Thanks for the comments tho guys ^_^

It may be closer than you think!
These files have been datamined for the Summerset Chapter...

Well things have probably changed but here is a look of it when it was first announced

I just want my Fire pet for my templar

And I want frost magic so I can finally make a frost mage. (Also, atronachs are fun too)

It might be coming, it might not. I'm super excited, but also pensive, both for the reasons you mention and because I'm worried the system will be just another endless per-character grind to complete, as if we don't have enough giant grinds as is. But we'll see what happens, it might end up being excellent. I know they were saying that all the creation options were bounded, so there won't be runaway damage or stat-boosting nonsense like in the single-player TES games. Thus, the thing I'm most worried about in terms of balance is that magicka-focused characters will just have way more options for things they can do than stam. On the other hand, you could just as easily do a similar system with stam, since there is canonical sword "magic" that isn't magic. You know, you hold your blade like this, jiggle your hips Just So, and suddenly expel a whirlwind from your mouth or some BS. It's delightful to read up on.

The videos they showed at Quakecon 2014 also looked like the Auridon zone so it could mean that they finally found a way to implement spellcrafting. Although Im very skeptical about balancing such an intricate mechanic it seems like a lot of fun to be able to make truly unique builds.

What I'm expecting:
At least some spells will have stamina morphs.
No matter what the spells are, people will start yelling that they're OP and need nerfs the second they get killed by them in Cyrodiil.

Is spellcrafting being tested on the PTS?

If not, seems like the chance of it with this update is between: slim and none.

Not happening with this update.
People are thinking it might be introduced with the next Chapter, though, later this year, because of the files that were data-mined.

I have never understood why people get excited about something we know virtually nothing about. We do not know when it is coming or how it will work.

Mic1007

Datamining is not a confirmation. It’s just theory at this point. Though I am sure if they ever add it, Stamina builds will get something out of it too.

Gothren

can't wait to have different summon spells and destruction spells

magictucktuck

I think people are excited because we KNOW something big is coming, and they gave us a new class last chapter and battlegrounds so there few BIG things the community really wants. so they narrows it down, unless they added something that we have not asked or talked about in 6 months were probably on the right track, it probably just wont look like we expect at all.

SisterGoat

Don't count your chickens before they hatch! The latest official statement we've gotten about spellcrafting is that they're still considering it. That's not a definite no, but we shouldn't get too excited just yet.

CardboardedBox

Maybe spell crafting could actually be a skill re-skinning system.

On the other hand, before the announcement of the Warden, the last word we had on new classes was that they had "no plans" to add them.

No plans doesn't mean never. Sometimes they change their mind. It's better to say no plans than to say yes to plans and then not doing it, because then it looks like you're breaking promises.

The data mined info suggests it could be coming with the Summerset Isles Chapter.

The quakecon video shows how they it works, basically enchanting for active abilities.

I'm just saying, silence on their part hasn't been a good indication that it's not going to happen.

They like to surprise us, but we're going to get an announcement for the next chapter soon.

Uriel_Nocturne

Personally, -if- the reports of Spellcrafting are more than just idle rumor; I very much look forward to crafting some Skills/Spells to make my Templars/Sorcerers much more unique and personalized.

I think adding it in, would be a massive positive draw to the game.

Gothren

spellcrafting is much needed in this game to spice things up a bit.

well yes, it is not 100 % sure, but so far, most of the datamined things, came to the game...

We HOPE. IMHO the expectations for each DLC, not to mention a chapter are extremely high and well, never met. Spellcrafting would be something new the players to be excited about.

wenchmore420b14_ESO

Remember last year how they kept Morrowind quiet and even asked people to set up their computer cameras to record their reaction to the announcement news?
ZoS loves to do this "Keep quiet till announcement day" thing.
We know Summerset is coming, so no surprise there, but what are they holding up their sleeve???
Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm......
