"This version contains our second major content update"

Which, like the first adds new content aimed and the vansihingly small minority who are able to actually play it .. like your friends in Entropy Rising.

For the rest of us, the vast majority, there is no new content this time either.

Has there ever been a game that hates or discourages solo/duo gameplay as much as this one? I take no issue with the Craglorn group content as it was needed. However, we did not need a new Veteran dungeon in this update. No one was requesting more group content. I suppose maybe that's why it is being released - ZOS delivers content it wants and not content that players want.

Even worse, it would appear that there is no new solo/duo content in next month's update, either, unless you consider armor dyes to be content.

These posts are always hilarious to me.

For every single "This game discourages solo play!" thread/post, I can find another post where someone is equally convinced that the game discourages grouping.

I happen to think they've struck a nice balance. Content that should require a group to complete (world bosses, dolmens, dungeons, etc.) requires grouping (as it should), but questing is an entirely solo affair.

You can't really be serious. There are 21 zones that are almost entirely solo. There is a whopping 1 zone that is group based. Craglorn, 1 group dungeon per zone, a handful of VR dungeons, and possibly dolmens and world bosses are the only group encounters in the entire game. Everything else is solo.

If I wanted to play a single player RPG, than I wouldn't be playing ESO.

I think @pong was referring to sitting on the chairs/benches/stools etc that you run across within the game. /sitchair summons a new chair and seats you on it.

Why do I not see anything new in the patch notes?...I'm happy we got this patch so soon but in all of the balance threads in developer discussions it has been said that those would not be the final patch notes and they were still working on further updates.

Nightblades still need more balancing, stamina builds including heavy armour also needs some definite looking into, so come patch day and nothing has really changed infact I've experienced almost all of this content in the PTS already, it's a little depressing.

Really? Have you never been on a PTS before?

When they say that the patch notes there aren't final, it just means they're leaving room for additional tweaks and fixes as people test (that's what you were supposed to be doing, remember?) the new content. It doesn't mean that they have a secret dungeon that no one gets to play until the content update is released.

Okay you've replied to me twice so I'll try and confine everything into a nice small post, if you read my post thoroughly you would notice that I'm clearly making it obvious that I'm talking about balance, I'm not going to iterate points twice to people if you just can't read or choose to selectively scan the parts you might find interesting...fine but don't bother replying.

Nightblades are still not okay and there is plenty of reasons why none of the "fixes" to nightblade actually resolved anything.

1# Casting dots still snaps us out of stealth
2#Path of Darkness is still useless as well as blur, aspect of terror, shadow image etc.
3#Sihponing strikes still doesn't provide the amount of sustainability of the sorcs and DK's and theirs doesn't sacrifice 10% damage.
4#The best potential DPS build is still the light armour staff using DOT build

Hardly anyone I know is a nightblade is thankful for the fixes, just go to the developer discussion board and read through the hundreds of replies on the NB balance thread.

And yes I remember what the PTS was for, I tested the PTS exstensively no suprises a lot of the suggestions were ignored in the PTS forum section, but that's fine though, I mean is this what I should expect after reporting stuff about balance wait 1-2 weeks and they'll give a 10% buff to damage on a skill barely anyone uses and a fix to a few quests.

But hey don't take my word for it, there you go I did all the work for you.

Even the patch notes needed patching

Thanks. Original version -

OVERVIEW
Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v1.2.3. This version contains our second major content update, the introduction of the new Veteran Crypt of Hearts dungeon, as well as many other fixes and refinements to gameplay, quests, and more. We have also added a new FOV slider for first-person view, and improved the overall interaction with the world.


BIG CHANGES / UPDATES / NEW FEATURES

Veteran Crypt of Hearts Dungeon
Veteran Crypt of Hearts is open! The lich Nerien’eth has returned to inflict endless agony on the spirits he trapped in the original Crypt of Hearts. Fight mysterious Daedra and ultimately the lich himself to free these souls in an entirely new content experience. Veteran Crypt of Hearts continues the story begun in the original dungeon. This Veteran Dungeon is intended to be a challenge for groups of Veteran Rank 12 player characters.

FOV Slider
Our new field of view slider allows you to change the field of view while playing in first-person mode, and will let you change between the minimum FOV of 70 up to the maximum FOV of 130.
The slider settings can be found in Settings > Camera, and under the First Person section.
Your setting will be saved per character.

Pick up Armor and Weapons
Weapons and armor found in the world can now be picked up and equipped.
These items are low quality, but can be used if needed.
These items sell for 0 gold.
These items can be upgraded through crafting.
These items can be deconstructed, but yield very low inspiration and rarely yield usable resources.

Improved Interior Lighting
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so take a look at these images of our new window projections:
[insert 2 images here]

Light Jerkins

Well of *course* you have, that's why it's on the PTS first. You were expecting something that had not been tested?

Given that the last update for the content patch that went live wasn't tested on the PTS. That's exactly what was expected.

What?

Why do I not see anything new in the patch notes?...I'm happy we got this patch so soon but in all of the balance threads in developer discussions it has been said that those would not be the final patch notes and they were still working on further updates.

Nightblades still need more balancing, stamina builds including heavy armour also needs some definite looking into, so come patch day and nothing has really changed infact I've experienced almost all of this content in the PTS already, it's a little depressing.

Really? Have you never been on a PTS before?

When they say that the patch notes there aren't final, it just means they're leaving room for additional tweaks and fixes as people test (that's what you were supposed to be doing, remember?) the new content. It doesn't mean that they have a secret dungeon that no one gets to play until the content update is released.

Okay you've replied to me twice so I'll try and confine everything into a nice small post, if you read my post thoroughly you would notice that I'm clearly making it obvious that I'm talking about balance, I'm not going to iterate points twice to people if you just can't read or choose to selectively scan the parts you might find interesting...fine but don't bother replying.

Nightblades are still not okay and there is plenty of reasons why none of the "fixes" to nightblade actually resolved anything.

1# Casting dots still snaps us out of stealth
2#Path of Darkness is still useless as well as blur, aspect of terror, shadow image etc.
3#Sihponing strikes still doesn't provide the amount of sustainability of the sorcs and DK's and theirs doesn't sacrifice 10% damage.
4#The best potential DPS build is still the light armour staff using DOT build

Hardly anyone I know is a nightblade is thankful for the fixes, just go to the developer discussion board and read through the hundreds of replies on the NB balance thread.

And yes I remember what the PTS was for, I tested the PTS exstensively no suprises a lot of the suggestions were ignored in the PTS forum section, but that's fine though, I mean is this what I should expect after reporting stuff about balance wait 1-2 weeks and they'll give a 10% buff to damage on a skill barely anyone uses and a fix to a few quests.

forums.elderscrollsonline.com/categories/developer-discussions

But hey don't take my word for it, there you go I did all the work for you.

1. Should casting not take you out of stealth? I wasn't aware this was considered a bug.
2. The Refreshing Path buff is making it much less useless for healers, and it's already a pretty useful utility skill for an oh-crap-get-out-of-there moment.
3. Then Sorcerers and DKs need to be tuned properly, because Siphoning Strikes provides pretty much infinite resource regeneration.
4. They're addressing that, but it also has nothing to do with the Nightblade class. Again, that's going to be about tuning magicka builds so that they aren't absurdly overpowered. That said, I haven't had any issues with my dual wield/bow build.

I'm a Nightblade, and I've had no problem getting to VR11. I also find that when I group up, there's usually a lot of Nightblades. So for a class that no one is happy about (or playing, according to some people), we seem to be doing pretty well.

Didn't imply no one was playing it.

Yes , it's a bug and Jess said they were looking into it, dots aren't meant to break you out of stealth.

Path of Darkness more specifically the twisting paths morph is still bad as well as a bunch of other skills which I will happily point out for you.

See I don't get what you mean when you say "infinite resources" no you're aware you need to light attack right?

Your dual wield/bowbuild...right...right, I'd like to see you use your highend build in AA trials.
