    It's raining and very windy atm, especially where I am, so it might feel like the sky is falling.

    I can reassure you, the sky is in fact not falling.

    Everything will be fine.

    Sadly, no.

    It feels way to similar to when morrowind was on PTS.
    I lost all ambition to even care about getting better and make progressthat returned but now I remember why i stopped caring.

    I will definetlycheck out how my sorc fairs in vma when this downgrade goes live but I already stopped spending extra money a while ago and canceled eso+ autorenewal recently so it will run out soon.

    I cant justify supporting this game anymore to myself. GG wroble, the game is not fun anymore, thanks.

    No. They've taken away numerous areas of survivability from my Magblade without giving anything back. There's basically going to be no way to shake a determined stam character now in PvP making every fight a dps race. Also the Anguish set (even after the nerf) is complete AIDs.

    They need to give light armor a snare break now to balance PvP.

    Yes, change is good.

    I know i will miss my shield and have been trying to PvP without it. It's a bit more difficult, even in full HA all impen, but recently i have been back in full light armor, being the melee magblade i wanted to be but without shields.

    Currently the state of PvP everybody except a few complain. About shields, speed, stamNB's and whatnot. In order to try to balance and make te game more fair, drastic changed have to be made.

    This update might wreck PvP, or make it more fun. I don't know. It might take a few iterations to get it fixed.

    About Murkmire itself.... i hate swamps. It's wet, dark, cold and full of Argonians. I rather stroll in the desert.

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    It's a tiny hit and nothing in compared to the universal nerfing of mag classes (who by the way still have no access to snare break).

    Let's compare a 2s snare immunity and 2% speed nerf to my magblades changes which include:
    • Big nerf to healing from swallow soul
    • Complete removal of either damage or healing from refreshing path
    • Huge nerf to Healing Ward
    • Huge nerf to Dampen Magic
    • Merciless Resolve now much easier to dodge
    • Zero, not even one, compensatory buffs

    I reckon you'll probably be alright tbh mate @Vapirko

    I tested by dueling people on the PTS and while weaker, my mag sorc is still able to deal damage and shield herself. Even though I will have to change some of the parameters. But that's ok, change is not bad.

    However, I doubt I will use Overload now because there's no 3rd bar and also hope the changes will see some other benefits in next 2 PTS cycles.

    lol

    I like the name.

    But yes, I"m looking forward to it. I play as a Templar so I'm actually getting buffs I've been told and not nerfs.

    And there are some gear sets in Murkmire that look perfect for me and I'm looking forward to the upgrade. The only place I ever used shields was in PvP and that was mostly just because everything else I had sucked. So these nerfs likely won't affect me very much.

    Power creep has been out of control since One Tamriel dropped. This is necessary for long term sustainability. Eventually, I’d like to see a slight increase in overland difficulty, too, since that content is utterly trivial.

    Oh I didn't say the mag changes were good, people just seem to think stamina is gonna be great. Truth is small scale/solo play on all sides is taking another huge hit. I play stamina DK/sorc/templar and magicka NB/sorc so Im well aware of how bad things are all around. But yes I will be fine because Im probably not coming back lol, been gone for a few months now and based on the changes in Murkemire.

    I would argue power creep was more of an issue before One Tamriel. I used to out-level entire zones after the first couple of quests and enemies would become so weak they could barely harm me and wouldn't even drop loot (yet still aggro annoyingly). It made questing even less fun than it is now.

    But I do agree with you otherwise. The overland content needs to be more challenging. Or at least give high level characters the option to join an instance scaled to a higher difficulty. I can literally kill 99% of everything I encounter while questing in a second.... maybe two. And I don't even play as a damage-dealing class.

    Until they add some vet mode for overland questing it's not really exciting at all. Doing the story line quests with a max CP character you just steamroll through it. It's the same problem with every expansion/dlc.

    I don't look to any new DLC. I'm playing this game since 3 months or so, for new or casual players are DLC dungeons mission impossible to master, way too hard, why pay money for something you can't play or is frustration to play. I have also Summerset and to lvl up Psijic Order Skill Line is just, eh...I would never buy that again. So when I read about a new DLC, no thx.

    Those new Wolf Hunter dungeons are pretty rough, especially on Veteran. They are not new player friendly.

    I wish ZOS would make that more clear. Always this problem happens after a new DLC dungeon content is released. The dungeon is flooded with newer players wanting to try out the new content only to be obliterated and all the drama that often goes along with it. I"m sure many of them would take a refund if they could.

    I wasn't overly impressed with the Psijic Order skill line either. Some of the concepts were good, but they were too timid in their finalization. None of them have earned a spot on my skill bar. I have to say I've been impressed by Summerset thus far though. The quests are interesting and it looks great.
