What is going on at Zenimax?

So, here we are. We've got a bunch of new PTS changes out. Some of them are okay I guess, but very little was done to address some serious underlying issues. A lot of the changes don't seem to make any sense at all, namely the Sorc shield change.
Was content like ever even considered? How many players, myself included, are only even able to complete that terrible, inexplicably solo gauntlet BECAUSE we have instant shields? How about PvP, where a 1s cast time basically means that you will never have shields after the first 5s of combat? How about certain PVE group encounters, where players don't have access to healers for extended periods of time and need to be able to keep themselves alive while actually doing other things?
It just all seems so incredibly shortsighted. Does anyone who works at Zenimax actually play their own game at more than a purely casual level? I would LOVE to see anyone from the dev team beat VMA on the PTS right now, especially on a low CP character.
Where are the class reps? Why aren't they getting involved in the process? If you're only going to have them come in later and critique the (bad) decisions you make behind closed doors, you might as well not even have them at all.

Jinchuu✭✭✭✭Rampant skooma use is the only thing I can attribute the proposed changes toUnless you are willing to be a mindless sycophant and/or coddle others due to their insecurities prepare to be harrased by the Orwellian enforcers on these forums. You should also try to refrain from using any words more complex than those used by a small child due to the fact that said enforcers have made it clear that their vocabulary pool is aenemic.

Krayl✭✭✭✭✭Game design by adding a 1 second annoyance to skills a majority of players use on a regular basis and have for YEARS is simply aggravating solely from the standpoint of having to get used to something already ingrained in how people play the game.
It's a weird nonsensical choice. You make shields critable. That alone would have been a good bonus for fighting against them in PVP. -

✭They obviously dont play the game. That much has been clear for a while.
1 sec cast time in PvP means no one will use them. Prevalent stam will monopolize in Cyro next patch.
Only good thing in all this is my expectation that ZoS will feel this *** changes on their wallet. They screwed to many ppl.
I would love to hear what Sorc class rep had to say about this changes. I bet he doesnt even main a sorc.
This game turned into a *** joke.
