I just don't see the "staves and dresses" problem getting resolved any time soon

Reevster · June 2014

Play it your way and don't listen to people whining about this or that , if a dress and staff works then great, if your Armour selection dosnt work then change it , we all have that option .

"I just don't see the "staves and dresses" problem getting resolved any time soon"

There is no problem , staffs and dresses work just fine..... if you dont like the way your sweaty plate is performing then remove it and put on a nice airy robe.

Nuff said...

I gave up and started my new guy in robes. Ill just wear two pieces of the armor I hope to eventually wear and level the weapons.

I am not really happy about it, but what can you do?

Play something else when your sub expires maybe? no point playing something that's not fun for you because accountant's spreadsheets see only your money, not your state of mind.

Dude, you used to love this game and defend it to death - kinda sad to see you so disappointed in it.

I'm in the same situation. Even after the beta I was still stoked. Fan site and all. But then slowly the true long term nature and intention of the game became clearer and clearer.

It could still turn around (from my perspective) but that would require drastic changes that clearly go against what Zen see the game being. Which is fair enough.

In the end it'll either have a profitable customer base or it won't.

I think the game would benefit from having three hotbars instead of two.

This has always been one of my points.

The game is not impossible to play as a melee build. It's not even terribly hard. Just takes longer.

Any player who says they are 'forced' to play mage/staff/light, is a player who has no backbone or will to decide for themselves. If you can't get a trial run with that group that won't let you in, then the error is not with the player, but the mindset of the group.

Avoid those players, and that mentality, at all cost. They are the corruption. The herd. Lemmings and their belief that nobody would every lead them astray or tell them lies.

The game can be played how you want. Whether you have the gumption to ignore the idiots who say it can't be done and prove that it can? That's another issue altogether.

While there are changes that need made, and I am confident (due to recent community dev posts) that they are being addressed, the current state of the game is not all-or-nothing.

To shorten the message: Play like you want, cause in a month or two you'll probably be overpowered and everyone will want to be you. That's how MMO's roll.

Why are people so hell bent on "a tank must wear heavy armor"? A tank is a meat shield. It is meant to draw agro, heard and survive. If they can do it in a robe, a leather jacket or a steel girdle who the hell cares? It is just because you want to wear cool looking daedric pieces and are all kinds of mad when a guy in a robe is better at things than you? Maybe it's not the robe...Every MMO has good and bad builds, synergy and things that just don't work. A lot of good players make things work for them. I have seen a nightblade and a templar duo vet 4 man dungeons, Templars as tanks, Sorcs as healers...If you want to be a tank be a tank..play how YOU want to play but don't complain when others play how THEY want to play better than you.

"BUT BUT...A SWORD WOULD GO RIGHT THROUGH A DRESS, NOT A STEEL JACKET.." Oh you want realism? Okay then crouching should not make you invisible to a room full of skeletons...well hell maybe it should they don't have eyes...I just hate when people complain about what does actually work in the game and cry and *** until that is nerfed rather than concentrating on FIXING what you feel is broken.

"Class" concept is an abomination and has no place in a TES line. That is the main problem here. They decided to take the road of "Be whatever you want" that TES has been continuing for years, but decided to add this useless Class system into it, which has failed miserably as we can see.

Well they destroyed my DK tank to were I cant even solo a mob in a vr 2 area. Ive parked him as its not fun to die non stop after having no issue 1-50, thanks to all the nerfs. Ill be honest, its hard to get on to play even though I rerolled a stick and dress alt, its not how I want to play my way. So yes Im greatly disappointed, by the lack of any thought or reasoning in balancing (Like nerfing tank abilities when its stick and skirts that are the problem.)

I just thought I'd point out that the staves and dresses issue will be solved next week when craftable light armour jerkins come out. Then it will be staves and jerkins

IMO Zeni screwed up when they named "Classes" Classes. They should have called it Magical School or something. (Dragon school (DK), Shadow School (NB), Light School (T), and, I don't know, Control School (Sorc). (And, personally, I tend to strongly suspect that at some point in development you got to pick and choose which 3 spell lines you had access to, but some executive got upset that there weren't classes, so they lumped groups of 3 together and called 'em classes.)

In this game, your "class" is more determined by the weapon you choose than by whichever option you selected as your "class".

And right now, basically one class works. Mage. Stick and Robe. Doesn't matter if it's Templar, DK, whatever.
