This is a 9-month old issue, still completely unacknowledged and unaddressed by ZOS.
Maybe disable the Battlegrounds Deserter Penalty or reduce the penalty to 5 minutes instead of 20 minutes until the underlying issue is resolved? @ZOS_BrianWheeler @ZOS_Gilliam @ZOS_GinaBruno

Maybe more players would get into Battlegrounds and play Battlegrounds more continuously if they were not locked out of Battlegrounds for 20 minutes once every 5 to 10 matches due to the infinite, never-ending "waiting for players" intermission lobby bug, where all players in the lobby are forced to take the 20-minute Deserter Penalty. Every single time.

Magicka builds that use melee close range weapons are severely gimped for light and heavy attack damage.

Are there any plans to make light and heavy attack scale with highest stat so we can play how we want.?

Since shuffle costs so much many people do not run it due to its large cost and short duration. While many will likely be dropping forward momentum to run rally as the strength of this heal cannot be ignored. So what if anything is zos planning on doing to bring these skills inline with their new competitors and other morphs?

TLDR: Will shuffle and forward momentum be getting any changes with the new introduction of other snare immunity/removal skills?

Hello, I would like to know if there are any other Arena's coming to housing that do not have the traps in them? I was excited when I heard about Elinhir Private Arena but the traps really turned me away from purchasing it.

MisterBigglesworth

Now that it has become detached from Cyrodiil campaigns, are there any new long term goals for Imperial City that you are free to pursue?

UntrustedExistenz

Only 1 small, but important question: It is posible to add a wayshrine to our house in the future?
Teleporting to house count as normal wayshrine, so if u want to go there for moment, another teleport costs a lot. That's a main reason not to go there (escpecially for new players).

Azurya

we are the players and payers, so lets get down to work:
Incap, no longer has major defile, therefor goodfornothing Mangle! And why should I slot it then? Because it has new shiny icon???? or what, better delete the ultimate at all!

Grim focus , removed Minor Berserk, now it heals if you are within 7 meters of your target when it hits, a spectral bow and 7 SEVEN Meters range???? what is that, you are crank guys! read you yourself what comes out of your brains???
I am a NB, not a healer, I want to kill mobs, bosses and so on, not heal myself!!!! Get that in your brains!

Then you write: " NB keep on using their toolkit EVEN without bonusses!" YES OFC, because it is OUR NB TOOLKIT, why did you even put those skills up if you don´t intended them to be used?????? WHY???

Dark cloak heals too now?? for what, we didn´t ask you for that, we don´t want it so let it be!!!
After you nerfed masshysteria so it only affected just 2 opponents now you get it back to up to 6 ??? Why, hardly see any NB using it nowadays, because of the previous nerfs, and now you take away the snare, also good, wasn´t it using no more, and this further nerf will not change that.

Summon shade? just another nerf and waste of slotplace.

Suprise attack get a NERF while we can use mark target?? If you want to remove Major Fracture, remove it from Mark target, not many use it, so get it, BUT to nerf Suprise Attack is a slap in the face, it is one of our few basic tools we have and use!

In your notes on cripple you mentioned something like "our standardized DoT ruleset"! are you using that only on NB(?), because I don´t see much of it when I play my sorc or magden?!?! (see also your blablabla on soul tether)
Drain power was already crap for seasons, not imrpoving this patch.
Soul tether was worstskill-in-slot, will be much longer, if you do it your way.

and then you threaten us with upcoming further NERFS on major expedition, guys you must have lost your mind!
serious, have you ever read what you prepared here for NBs??
We don´t see any Stamblades in any raid worthy to be called that way, because we already had very little to offer there!
No we cannot offer anything brought up by our class, because it was all taken away.
Why do you make all that noise , just delete the class from the game if you are already stripping us once again from the last parts that give us at least a bit of a feeling that made it worthy playing a NB.

Our class is named NIGHTBLADE, we don´t deserve it to be LOSERS,(as nobody does!!)
we want our class to be stealthy, to land our first attack coming out of nowhere
we want to hit and not to heal
we want to wreck and not to tank
we are NIGHTBLADES, we are what we are
it is our DESTINY, our GOAL and our HERITAGE to be what we are
we cannot be anything else!

Ok, so i feel stam sorcs are lacking a class identity and i feel like just a pile of stats with just speed as flavor, will we have any changes coming to us?

I would like for someone from the combat team to AT LEAST mention or just say "Stamina Sorcerer".................

Stamsorc feel like a non class

What is planned to make them fun again?

This. As a StamSorc main for nearly 2 years now, I cannot help but feel the class has really fallen by the wayside. With the changes to Race Against Time, it almost makes more sense to run that instead of Streak on my StamSorc, making the class feel even less unique. I know this patch is more about balancing skills and not necessairly class changes. However There were some fairly significant changes on PTS for a lot of the other classes and StamSorc basically wasn't touched. The max stats scaling of Streak is pretty useless on a StamSorc since it still does Shock damage and thus doesn't scale properly in CP. Playing a StamNecro on PTS really shows how a Stam class should be set up (several stam morphs and usable passives). There are plenty of things on Sorc that can be tweaked that will not effect Mag Sorc but will help StamSorc significantly. Is there any plans in the NEAR future to help StamSorc out??

If we cannot talk about StamSorc changes then I agree with this. Forward Momentum and Race Against Time seem much more viable options than Shuffle. If the immunity duration was increased ever so slightly it would be a huge help to this skill and Medium armor builds.

DeathStalker

Can we get 1 stamina morph on 1 Necromancer Class Healing ability?

Grandma

Do you think Wardens are in a good spot right now? They're still pretty underplayed but some of the recent changes have made them in demand. Do you think Necromancer is going to blow the demand for Wardens (for healr OR tank) out of the water for the next few cycles?

^this i would love to play my MagDK with swords

kylewwefan

Are there any plans to give us useful combat information on console? PS4/ Xbox

The combat text is not really helpful. Neither are the buff trackers.

SydneyGrey

Please fix the indrik mount's legs. They still don't touch the ground properly. They look absolutely wonderful, but their feet don't touch the ground like they're supposed to. It was never fixed. Thanks.

Looking forward to Elsweyr.

Bergzorn

Is there a chance to not apply the stacking cost increase to offensive streaking , i.e. if an enemy is hit? This has been suggested by different players various times over the last years. Increasing the cost starting with the third cast within X seconds instead of the second cast could also work.

The increased stun duration makes it more attractive as CC. There are, however, some serious drawbacks. For stamsorc, it's expensive to use even without stacking cost. For magsorc, the range is much shorter than most offensive skills.
Also, there are quite some cases where the cast is more or less wasted (blocking enemy, stun/pull/knockback during the animation, happens more often than you'd think). The increased cost for the next cast, on top of the lost global cooldown and magica, is quite punishing.

It's a great skill, stacking cost or not. But it's not yet in a place where I'd consider it as only CC option on my bars.

Scorpionwind

Good evening

With the change to molten whip, can we see more item sets and skills promoting hybrid builds?
Hybrid builds where Pelinals is not the only option.

Great game!! Just hyped for all you guys are doing.

Do you plan to add more housing decor slots to go with these fabulous new homes?
Also I agree with the others about the cake. A lot of them including mine need EHT FX or they wont really look right. cardi

Imperial_Voice

Two pages of questions about the housing limit and theyve so far refused to even acknowledge that these questions exist. More of the same from ZoS.

Edit: They completely ignored every player who asked about housing to answer literal non questions. Absolutely shameful. How can they expect us to keep shelling out such high dollar amounts for a system they willfully ignore?

We... did answer that question?

alenae1b14_ESO

The housing limit was discussed and explanation given was basically (paraphrasing as not going to slog thru it again) that even if your gaming setup can handle more (graphics?), Dev's want everyone to be able to blah blah access your home and enjoy the visual affects.

edit. removed ""

Mojmir

Whwn are you going to increase housing storage so we can get out of the stuck in combat bug thats causing all servers to suck and loading screens we get whil in our houses that dont have enough storage?

Shadow_Akula

And once again ignore the question of weapon and armor furnishings zos. It’s a simple reply we want, we don’t care if it’s yes, no, we’ll look into it. We want a simple response 🙄 embarrassing you can’t give a simple response to this question everytime we ask.

SantieClaws

He said the magic word Fishmas!

That makes it an officialy endorsed celebration now no?

Mr housing builder man if you wish to see the real glory of Fishmas do pop into the Fishmas Grotto in scenic Hag Fen sometime.

Yours with paws

Saying you wont be doing anything to improve housing because it would require too much effort doesnt count as addressing an issue, let alone the many issues players have brought up since housing began.

Minyassa

Those of us who have characters in all three alliances want to know how you would advise us to be able to play with our friends of varying different alliances who are on at different times, and not be penalized in rewards for our being social in a MMO. Are you planning on adding more 30-day campaigns so that we can keep all of our characters active and progressing?
