I’d love an actual response from Zos

RighteousBacon

Why did you create earthgore?

Why did you create Zaan?

Why did you create sload’s?

Why did you make a stun undodgeable and unblockable from extreme range(rune cage)?

This is all I can think of at the moment...
Feel free to add more questions and tag the developers everyone.

My very first thought was,

"All dlc sets"

Firstly, Rune Cage doesn't have anything to do with the rest of your list.

Secondly, ZOS loves bad players and caters to them patch after patch. They explained this with their "lower the ceiling, raise the floor" nonsense a long time ago.

I'm starting to lose hope that ZOS will ever realize how badly these dumb proc sets impact the game!

Rune cage does have something to do with the rest of the list. My list is comprised of things I see in this game as being, if I may, “broken.”

I do agree that the sets, however, were added to help low skill players and encourage people to buy the dlc’s.

I completely agree about Rune Cage...

Sorcs were already a strong class; buffing Rune to such a crazy extent made them ridiculous...


I can honestly say that the bulk of my deaths come squarely because of Rune Cage and not being able to Break Free when I clearly have enough Stamina to do so...

Atleast they are making it dodgable next patch, so hopefully there will be a nice visible telegraph that its coming so that there is reasonable counterplay against it...

Idk why ZOS wanted to raise the floor and lower the ceiling. The only thing that’s changed is that zergs and lag are worse than ever. Noobs still get farmed till they give up.

I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.

Just be ready to welcome back our Stam NB overlords, for whom all counters have been removed.

light attack changes made it even worse imho. Ranged builds now hit really hard from far. ZOS doesn't understand that a noob in good gear is still a noob. A noob will always be a noob,untill he decides not to be a noob anymore. Gear won't help him.

The answer is simple. They needed to create something. It is so obvious I do not think Zos needs to answer.

Edit: BTW, Zos probably will not reply.

Sadly, you are probably correct...

I've said it in the past and I'll say it again. ESO can't sustain new sets with every single update, the set bloat and power creep is going to cause havoc the longer we go on with this.

Datthaw

It's money, not really a secret. Well besides rune. They add these sets and let them to totally over perform on pts. This builds up hype on the forums and what not then they lock it behind a pay wall. It's like the internet version of supply and demand.

Lake

They've answered the reasoning for Sload’s a few times on Live.

zParallaxz

They make balance changes that contradict what they have said before in previous updates. Ex, we don’t want to associate high damage and stun with each other so we removed the stun from shalks. Next patch adds 8-9k damage ( on a non damage spec Magsorc build like Lich and spinners) on rune cage

Proc sets are good if they take skill to use.

Allow good players to get better by using a difficult to use tool to get higher results. Zaan imo is almost there. But it still suffers from a too easy proc RNG and LOS needs to happen.

I cannot think of any EDO proc sets that require skill.

Zos has never understood how to manage this game.

Considering the pathetic state of this game when it launched. Everything from the game begin extremely unstable to a pathetic excuse of a GF tool for dungeons.

It all harkens back and reflects poorly on management. I said it 4 years ago and it still applies today.

All one has to do is consider the short sighted view of the CP system when it launched that someone could get to 3600 CP and use all that CP makes it very obvious management does not consider long term impacts.

Go to a more recent change in the game with sustain last year and Zos made the comment (I think MattF made it) that it was always their vision that we had to consider sustain since we did not have CDs. Essentially they changed the sustain in the game saying it is what they intended for years yet are just getting around to it.

Of course the rest of us know the changes with Morrowind were to correct the power creep Zos implemented with changes to skills and sets over time. CP was such a small part of the power creep.

I am not saying management is not a nice guy but until and unless Zos has someone with better (actual) vision for the game and a stronger management style the game is not going to improve.

BTW, what Zos will do in an attempt to correct this poor vision is increase the gear level cap and make us grind for our gear again. However, with the design of this game that is a futile since we do not have tiered gear like some other games that do that.
