"The Elder Scrolls Online: Murkmire is coming soon for ESO Plus members and the in-game Crown Store, and it will be available as a Daily Reward for the month of November."

@ZOS_GinaBruno What do you mean by that highlighted part?

RebornV3x

Looks cool new arena sounds great I'm weary of the changes to Cyrodill and I wonder what sustain changes will happen and what will happen to damage shields has me a bit worried

Ankael07

I sure hope providing a counterplay opportunity to Damage Shields will happen only against shield stackers. Otherwise, this change will do nothing but force Sorcerers to stack even more

UppGRAYxDD

Finally, we have made a series of broad changes to ESO’s combat that are designed to help balance sustain across all Classes, provide counterplay opportunities for Damage Shield Abilities, and improve the effectiveness of Light and Medium Armor Passives.

Keep an eye out for more information on all the changes coming with Update 20 in the near future.

While y'all are at it, why not fix the 4yr long snipe dysnc issue in Cyrodil? Its almost as bad for Tamerials population as the Knahaten Flu(cough cough)...

Sincerely,

All PvPers

@Aerithone From what I read, it means exactly what it says. In november, you get the dlc as a daily login reward. Probably on the last day of the month.

And if they have it require something like 28/30 days, it would exclude a lot of people who travel for the holidays. Which I suppose is their intent.

Seriously they are basically the Grinch. Stealing peoples travel plans by giving them a free dlc. It's not like they want to reward people who play on a consistent basis. This is all to sabotage every ones Thanksgiving!

I would guess more like 30/30 for a DLC. The 100k gold is 28/30 after all

Koolio

So minor stamina steal?

Evan8642

Still no housing furnishing cap increase /smh shouldn’t this have been addressed before adding some junky music boxes

Universe

Overall, some good changes to Cyrodiil

Though I'm worried about this:
"provide counterplay opportunities for Damage Shield Abilities".

Damage shields are not OP and I can sense there is an incoming unnecessary nerf to the damage shields.

Turelus

DLC as daily rewards sounds interesting and cool.

Cinbri

"If you survive, you will earn powerful new weapons, such as the Blackrose Greatsword that boosts your Uppercut ability, and new item sets. "
So, beside blackrose weapons it also will drop new droppable item sets? Like 3 craftable+ 3 droppable arena + 3 overland + blackrose ?

ZarkingFrued

Please just stop nerfing sorc, I already haven't loaded it up in over a month. You're gonna destroy the game further if you keep nerfing everything

omg yes please @ZOS_GinaBruno make us happy

JimmyJuJu

Looking forward the upcoming changes in Cyrodiil. I enjoy regular changes to the game to keep things interesting.

Like...one sorc's CC loss is another templar's execute gain

Jake1576

Wondering what kind of changes they are talking about when they are talking about medium armor passives

I think we all sensed an unnecessary nerf to damage shields coming when damage shields got the blame for why healers aren't needed in dungeons at the class rep meeting.

...Blackguard, a monstrous band comprised of the ancestors of the prison’s former inmates.

Are they ancestors or their descendants?

No, it is DEFINITELY necessary. Perpetual Damage Shielded status is NOT okay...

It seems the Class Rep program is making more balance issues than balance improvements.
No offense Reps, it is just isn't working.

Any decent player can go through a sorcerer shields in PVP.
Also, they provide an OK amount of defense in both PVP and PVE.
In hard PVE and PVP gameplay the shields are essential and nerfing the shields won't accomplish anything.

Since it said it will be available with the daily rewards, does that mean the Launcher will still be broke and we'll miss it because we cant log in. I already missed out on the 100,000 gold and no word from ZOS on fixing that for us that had launcher issues. Guess we'll have to wait and see......

Damage shields were brought up at the meeting by Wrobel, not by the reps.

Amazing! Thank you for the music in houses and being able to group + move and undo furniture changes!! And giving us the ability to reorder characters!!

Well I can't say I'm surprised.
Though I don't notice a real positive influence made by the Class Rep program on combat balance, but this is a topic for other discussion

@ZOS_GinaBruno can we plz have more info on the shield changes.... their are ALOT of light armor players getting extremely mad rn, myself included

pattyLtd

Some people expect way to much from the class reps.
Their influence is obviously going to be marginal but at least we have some channel to zos now.

On the murkmire news:
Yet again an update im dreading more then hyping for it.

Hope they dont nerf shields there already extremely limited, i hope the provide counterplay means they add things to other classes to help against shields instead of destroying the entire defense from it for all parts of the game.
I have very little trust in zos by now. So im going to prepare by looking for alternative hobbies. Haha

You will have to wait for tommorow. No point in getting angry when you do not have all the info. Plus light and medium armor are getting buff. So it best to wait then getting upset over something not set in stone.

there are already enough counter player for shields

battle spirit halves them making them 8k ( there are abilities in pvp that 1 shot that), on top of that their are cc, shield breaker, sloads, shattering blows, drain poisons, light armors dmg mitigation from resist is already abysmal

and ya i feel ya on the alternative hobbies... this hits pts and ill be finding something else to do for 8-10 hrs a day -_-
