Respec 2.0

With Update 19, you are be able to make smaller, more precise changes to your Skills thanks to the updated respec system. With this update, when you reset your Skill Points, you are able to remove Skills individually and are not forced to re-add all of them from scratch, much like how you respec your Champion Points. You can clear all your Skill Points like normal if desired, but this new system will mean that if you only want to make a small change to your character's Abilities, you can!

Made my day! YES!

The idea of Keep recall stones does not sit well with me. That being said if we can actually re-spec the morphs of skills one at a time now I dont even care what else y'all do with the update, I'm all in.

When will you guys announce what the collectibles are for doing the Hm, speed-run and no-death achievements for the dungeons?

Oh yeah i forgot about that. I usually don't tune in to the live streams but do for the dungeon DLCs! Super excited to see what the skin will look like and what the other collectible will be!

Agreed! This is a feature for which I have been wishing for years. This is a huge convenience improvement.

How about just fixing your servers 1st?

NBrookus

Appreciate the skill respec change.

Glaiceana

Thank you for this! Even more excited for the update now, especially with the werewolf changes!

As I read "reintroduces keep degradation", I remembered I really don't understand how resource level(s) work. Can anyone offer input/related posts that explains Level 1-5, how to tell what a resource is at, and what this degradation means?

SevenPacer

What's with that crossbow in news page? Is it going to be purely cosmetic or we're getting actual crossbows in game? Or I am just day dreaming ;/

If you click on the resource or keep on your map, you should be able to view the level of the resource and what each level means. I'm pretty sure its in the help menu too. Each level usually increases the health of the resource/keep and the abilities the guards can use.

MinuitPro

You mean there's a way to not get eclipsed every 6 seconds?

Thanks much @VaranisArano.

Finally, Update 19 reintroduces keep degradation and condenses both the levels for Keeps and Resources. With these changes, it is as important as ever to capture Resources, giving small group or solo players meaningful ways to contribute to the war.

I hope this is supposed to mean that it will be more important than it ever has been to capture Resources, not that it will only be as important as ever.

Could be an interesting change! We'll see.

paulychan

Yay, it’s a dlc.
Looks like some cool changes.
Can has fixed servers first? Super laggy atm. I’d skip this update for smoother gameplay. I would like to be able to switch weapons during battle effectively before exploring this great update.
Savvy?

True. Not enough known yet to form a real opinion. Just my initial reaction upon reading it.

That hat and crossbow ensemble doesn't look anything at all like Van Helsing, does it

TimeDazzler

Mounting in that BG's map? How will that work, does everyone get standardized horse stats or do we keep our horse own horse stats? Hopefully standardized as people with 60 speed mounts will get to the power sigil, flags, and chaos call sooner than everyone else.

DeathStalker

Will any changes from feedback from the class reps or any class balance be in this update? If not when should we expect it?

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Reading between the lines of the article my bet is that the Crossbow will just be a new Motif bow style or maybe an Outfit style option.

Faffox

There are many more updates, improvements, and fixes coming with Update 19, including some Class changes based on feedback from the ESO community.

Oh boy here we go.

Aztlan

Fantastic. Werewolves have been in dire need of fixes and improvements.

DrSweetazz

Will this be available on console? As in playable? Or will it be a load screen simulator with new pictures/dashboard shortcut?

People could still use Rapids and Swift jewelry to gain an edge but the base mount speed needs to be the same. Agreed.
