Patch Notes Hype or Dread?

Sandman929

Still no hype thread for 7.0.2...is there hype for what you hope is coming, or dread for what you think is or isn't going to happen?

VaranisArano

I have a bag of popcorn ready for the drama that will erupt on the forums, either way.


(I'm hoping to see the 12-group limit in PVE either reverted or explained. And I'm hoping for some adjustment of Companion gameplay, or an explanation of what ZOS intends for them to be capable of.)

Edit: small adjustments of Companions, no explanations, no change to group size that I see.

TequilaFire

I was wondering where the patch note thread was this morning.
Everybody afraid.

I'm hoping Relequen was fixed today so I'd say Hype

colossalvoids

Dread

Well I don't think anything major would emerge at this point but one can hope still.

VixxVexx

Dread

I'm not expecting a Sithis nerf because the chapter needs to sell. But I hope they prove me wrong.

Everyone: Fix proc scaling!!
Monkey's paw curls
ZOS: Good news everyone! We've adjusted proc scaling to 2500 WD/SD to match live tooltips to better accommodate players with lower damage builds

Wow, I completely missed that change in the last couple of PTS patch notes. Personally, I don't care about the change, but things like Guild Parties, Dolmen and World boss farming, and just random player driven events are going to be harder to organize. Seems like a weird change that didn't merit a reason for PvE.

yeah, group limitation when cross-group healing exists is idiotic and only makes game worse (experience wise)...

Dread... all I want is a general buff to companions. Nothing ridiculous but something to give them more teeth.

Fennwitty

Dread

Silence tends to mean nobody's paying attention to concerns.

Dread because seeing patch notes without such communication -- even if no fixes for the (perceived) problems we've mentioned continues the narrative that there's no plan or the players simply don't figure into it.

Dread

I don't expect any huge changes this week, but I've generally learned that natch potes inspire dread for me.

If anything big is going to happen, we'll see it next week, not today.

Rahar

ez abject fear of what's to come

I expect more nerfs. Maybe they will lower the furniture slot limits in housing. Because why not?

Hoping for Veteran Rockgrove Hardmodes this week \o/

AFAIK only top 12 DPS received loot on world boss kills prior to the change anyway? That's how it works in IC at least.

I guess groups clearing just for achievements may find this complicating but for anyone farming nothing really changes.

Cross healing needs to go.

Dread

Hoping for a buff to companions, even a small one. But long experience suggests that I’m likely to be disappointed.

Elsonso

Hype

If there is going to be good news, this is the one it will be in.

Thannazzar

Based on past experience nothing will have changed based on player feedback unless it's a bug or calc issue, so you should also have the option of 'MEH'.

Same, never thought about it much, but those big Alikr dolmen groups always seemed to be having a lot of fun, why the hell take that away from them? WTF ZOS? This patch is money-losing garbage that screws casuals (and competitive players looking for a fair fight). The only winners are the tryhard pug stompers abusing broken builds. If we don't get any word this mess will be cleaned up, I'm telling everyone I play this game with to unsub and not bother logging in until u31... and some will agree... as players that's what we can realistically do, make their bad changes lose them money.

I think so as well, since there are probably 2 weeks left. I know the bulk of the remain time will be likely be spent on tuning Companions, not proc set balance.

Poll needs a third option.

Hope.

Not to pick nits, but there are 4 weeks left. That means two more complete NA / EU test cycles.

Seems like a nit pick since only 2 of those weeks will likely include notes. Though, yes, there are 4 calendar weeks, including this week, before release week on PC

Always hype. I am ready to see the new changes. I have had my thing nerfed repeatedly, it happens, get used to it.

Seraphayel

Remember, if no class, skills or proc set changes are coming this week, we’re stuck with the situation until U31 for three months. Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Tyreal1974

I can infer the community as a whole must be feeling some semblance of dread/antipathy because there is not the obligatory Nath Potes thread with funny memes.

goldenarcher1

No crimson nerf.
