Positive surprised about Patch

DirkRavenclaw

Hi, Honour where Honour is do. After all the Nerfmire Talk, i have to say, Im actually beginning to warm to the Murkmire Patch. I'm on cp877, i run 4 Khajiit (2 Stam Vamp NB, 1 Stam Werewolf Warden,1 Stam Sorc) 3 Imperials(2 Templar, One a MAG DPS, Heal support, 1 a Stam DPS with Tank Experience and 1 Mag DK, heavy Armour, my PVP Dude) 1 Argonian Templar as Healer and DPS, 1 Breton Mag Sorc and 1 High Ekf Mag DK. I actually find the Nerfs and the raises holding themselves in the Balance. in PVE. PVP is gone more flueid, more aggresive, more tactical, you hit harder, but you cant just spam Shield and survive all anymore, you actually have, so to speak, to work for your Money. Then Murkmire: My Argonian Laughts at Danger is my Scout for my other Toons. The Story is captivating, the new Land fascinating, everything is so bonkers, from backwards singing Bards, that sound like Gothic in a foreign Language, or as someone else whispered me, while we where booth listening, like the start of a bad Metal Song to Catapult Cabbage that i wanna have at my virtual Home, when Friends come, you throw Cabbage at them Its so well made, now i only pray, we get Elsweyr as our Chapter 2019, then my Life is perfect. Also, yeah, i know, we had a short Downtime last Night, they where actually faster then 2 Hours, Steam Users had some Trouble(Not ZOS that is responsible here), but apart from those minor inconviniences, this is in the 14 to 16 Months I am playing this Game, the most stable Patch yet, at least for me, I learned the hard way, at Dragon Bones, where i lost do to addons activated all my Soundfiles and had to reinstall the whole Game, to deactivate Addons and start them slowly, Minion had a whole Bunch of Updates. Im sad to see so much Negativity here on the Forums, yes, its gone a bit harder but, in a Day or Two we have adapt and it is the same as always. Just chill Folks, wait with Nerf calls until more People had some Fun with the new sets and just enjoy the Game. Lots of Love

Baandari crown crates were datamined which speaks for at least some Khajiit related content in the near (2019) future.

Yup, all we have so far is a card back image and its file name though. The crate itself doesn't even have an ID yet and it isn't implemented behind the scenes like the others, so it's still a very long ways away.

I don't care for nerfs anymore. I understood that ESO gameplay will never be comfortable for me. So, I just enjoy things that I can enjoy - zones, athmosphere, scenery and stories. And they are great. Murkmire seems to be the best zone for me so far - it is more exciting even than nostalgic VVardenfell, mysteroius Clockwork City and majestic Summesret

It is about time we go to Elsweyr!!!

Yes, Murkmire changed the game a bit. I believe all the changes had a goal to make gameplay more tactical, more role and group play oriented.

See, people were complaining about 2 hours long duels, useless healers in PVE, overland content being too easy, and ZOS heard those.
Sure, on other hand, now we get people who complain about these changes, and I believe those are people who would feel ok if we had the game becoming more and more easier with every patch. They call it the feeling of character progression.

I'm one of the former. I mostly like the Murkmire changes.

Yeah, it's good if you are relaxed about it. Ive only played Murkmire some, but I got a nice feeling from the first quests. If enchants are too strong in pvp, switch campaigns or play something else.. I like the destructible bridges with added chokepoint wooden bridges as an alternative.. and they seem to have a vision and direction with the patch changes that I like. So they screw up some things and will need to keep adjusting - what else is new? ESO has lived through 'light armor is super OP heavy armor sucks', 'warden is pay to win', 'warden is useless', 'heavy armor is OP dual wield is for scrubs'; and it will likely live through this patch.

If you blow a cask every time your character has their skills changed in a patch ESO probably just isn't for you. They could have added free respec though.

But overall, having fun with Murkmire and trying new builds.

Pets "not" dying is the best, but it did one thing.

It showed that their encounter coding on certain encounters is actually flawed on a few <*Not all!*> 4 man encounters. Even with pets taking "0" damage I have had pets "die" in Mazz <Not when statue, but when he cages himself>, and Fang Lair caluurion <Usually when all totems spawn, in a Tank / 3 DPS fight with all DPS being sorcs - poof goes *all* pets on the battlefield.

I just wish they would fix some of those and should be good. Nothing hurts more than having to resummon each and every pet you own.

Upside, I when I farmed bloodroot on my DPS for motifs, that first area with stranglers. My flappy would die in about - 5 seconds after engage of trash packs. Now, he is safely flying above those Poison AoE's.

Well overall I like this patch. Idea of cast time on shields was terrible, now it's ok. The only thing bothers me are OP bleeds combined with HA and enchants. This needs adjustments.

Make the game more tactical? lol. Since when was ESO anything other than a snooze fest? o_o

The game has the tactical depth of my boyfriend boiling an egg while away sat on the toilet reading a newspaper.

Well, ok then. Not "more" tactical but "trying to move the gameplay in the direction of tactics and group play".
Since ESO is all about DPS in PVE and all about Shields in PVP, Mirkmire changes are seem to be the move in right direction in my opinion.

Hmm ok, this is more acceptable
