Do you like the direction of the recent combat changes?

Cously

No

They going back and forth on changes shows a lack of direction. I get going back once on a change, everyone makes mistakes, but they do it very often and a lot of times they keep repeating the mistakes through the years.

BlueRaven

No

I have not liked any of the changes since and including the race passive changes.

haelene

No

Overall, no, because there doesn't seem to be a direction at all. Just wildly swinging around the nerf and buff hammers like a pendulum. I like stability and smaller more measured changes with an overall goal.

Yes! I love it!
I am expecting more noobs to join the gsme. So, that I can nuke and T-bag them in the future. And also, read their QQ threads :^)

D0PAMINE

No

The sustain nerfs are my biggest issue with the new patch.

HankTwo

Yes

This patch made a hybrid sorc possible that I wanted to try now for some time now. I really enjoyed it when I first tried it out today in both BGs and Cyro. Additionally, the DOT nerfs made PVP overall more enjoyable. Yes, some of the nerfs are annyoing but overall the final version of the patch looks solid. Some builds don't work anymore, but the changes also opened up new ways to build for multiple classes.

But I have to agree that ZOS looks like they are lacking direction with those back and forth changes. They should try to make less extreme changes in the first place, imo.

DreadDaedroth

No

No,
They're making everything less fun,slower,tedious and homogeneous.
Plus sustain nerf on small things too like Sentinel monster set.

Canned_Apples

Mixed bag.
Warden changes are a huge disappointment.
StamDKs are now the ultimate dot class.
MagSorcs got a huge surviability buff.
D-Swing meta is gone.

Bekkael

No

I'm a proponent of fun in games, and the more they "adjust" the less I seem to have.

I hope they eventually end up somewhere more moderate with the changes and quit going from one extreme to another.

Tyrion87

There was any direction at all?

Somewhere

No

No I simply just dont think it's healthy for the game for people to need to wildly change their builds so much like we have the last few patches. I am ok with needing minor adjustments over time, but we have needed to make sweeping changes to our builds 2 patches in a row now to even be viable, let alone optimal, and for what? It seems very little was accomplished balance wise in the last 2 patches. What a waste of time.

zaria

No

Liked the race changes as it was an Khajit buff.
Yes this one is biased. All are so just state it.
Yes why give Argonian disease resistance and Bosmer poison resistance then an quest in Elsweyr was about an Argonian being able to rescue her team of Khajiit because her resistance to poison. 3

LadyNalcarya

No

Please no more enourmous buffs and nerfs.
Trying to rebalance a game every 3 month is not good for its health.

Baconlad

No

Nope for me as well.

They gutted my magplar build, just to over buff the typical magplar builds. They want all magplar building and playing the same. They've done it to all classes

xenowarrior92eb17_ESO

Yes

im a tank so I dont care.

Gnortranermara

No

There are only two possibilities:

1) The combat team is incompetent.
2) The combat team doesn't exist. The game is actually balanced by Sheogorath zapping the server with Wabbajack every three months.

I'm leaning towards #2.

scorpius2k1

No

This constant rollercoaster with the new combat clowns has altered me from a daily player into a filthy casual. I am certain they will have a crown store purchase soon to get my player interest skill line back... or not. At least the daily logins and roaming around Tamriel aimlessly will keep me opening the game right? Not sure what else to do in ESO. The game just feels shallow, sure, it's visually amazing but it lacks so much depth for what it could be if ZoS would kick things into high gear. I just don't think their team is big enough, the game is not what it should be.

I also think I've either reached that point where it's not fun or I am just tired of the constant dev fatigue with no logical direction. Definitely break time from ESO for a bit. I'll check back next chapter in May 2020

EvilAutoTech

Is there a direction if we just go in circles?

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

No

Game just keeps going backwards.

I totally agree regarding racial passives. While I have concerns about large scale back-and-forth changes, I feel that I am too new to the game and the latest changes too recently introduced for me to reasonably form an opinion.

MasterSpatula

No

The actual answer is, "[Insert swear word here] no!" but I'm just not sure what swear word to use yet.

mairwen85

No

OMFG -- sustain!

Solariken

Yes

Some good, some bad. I hate yo-yo changes but this patch does have some really nice changes in it.

Gunzork

Weird... Using my same stam dk dots setup as last patch and only do 1k less dps on a dummy..Tried PvP and still melting people with. Using same skills venonous claw/breath/rending slashes with 2 axes for the proc and same with 2h axe for the proc. That was looking bad but I'm surprised. I can't vote yes or no lol

CynicK

No

Well I do not like the changes to dots i think dk dots are in ther right place and all should be at the same level, I think and maybe dk do the extra 10 they had, they overnerfed I think those damages are of people with all cp not in a no cp envoirment where everyone is evened, and last I do not like this separation of one morph with knockback or stun the other losing it but having a cool utility like scatter shot, other nerfs are not so much like maybe onslaught had to much duration that was true because maybe they made a mistake but at rank 4 you still do 100 penetration so it is very good still.
Some have talked about the racial changes and well they happened before I started playing but I made a bosmer and his racials are clearly terrible I mean 1500 penetration after roll dodging it should be the equivelent to 258 weapon damage in penetration and always, I am not asking it to be the other side of nord and have the same nords have in resistances in penetration and 3 meters detection, he has not a single point in it. Give bosmers some love! I am seriously thinking in turning him into a dark elf, seriously, if he was not so hansom, that has saved him until now from even becoming a vampire.

mattaeus01b16_ESO

No

What direction are they heading? Besides a brick wall?

WreckfulAbandon

No

So class DoTs got a heavy nerf even though they were fine before Scalebreaker. What a garbage patch.

Mr_Walker

What direction?

azjuwelz

No

Because I main a Bosmer stamblade.

I think that says it all.
