Zenimax's Priorities

DeathDealer19 · March 2015

So enlightenment is basically destroyed. bugged, one min you have it, the next you don't. We magically lose CP, lose xp, rolled back..... And we plead for a hotfix. so what does Zenimax do? they instead perform a stealth nerf on a grind spot. Havent bothered to FIX OUR CP. they thought that nerfing a grind was more important.... My opinion is souring more and more every day

LonePirate · March 2015

What grind was nerfed? You're surely not talking about Spellscar, are you?

DeathDealer19 · March 2015

no the Skyreach delve grind people were getting like 10-20 CP per day at. some even more

Roechacca · March 2015

Chalk one more up for the brain hive !

Gidorick · March 2015

Some problems are bigger than others... like sitting in chairs. hehe.

So yeah... "the ritual" skill tree don't work at all and guess what, that didn't get fixed in the same round as the *** nerf. Thanks ZOS, great job.

Apparently preventing people from earning Champion Points at their own pace was far more important than allowing players to earn Champion Points in PvP at all. Any time a decent way to level up without playing their awful PvE content is discovered, they crush it into the ground. PvP issues though take months to fix.

QFT

But we did learn something today:

ZOS does actually have the ability to hotfix the game! Without causing framerates to hit single digits and without letting bugs languish for weeks before a fix is implemented!

Hey ZOS, here are a few more things you could hotfix now that you have this unprecedented new ability and can respond to issues in a matter of hours instead of months.

Doors don't work in cyrodiil. This has been a problem for months. Hotfix that.
Abilities are bugged after you respawn in cyro - dodge roll sometimes fixes this.
Charge abilities bug out and get you caught in an endless charging animation - which is a death sentence in combat.
People are running around in PvP with a mistform bug that makes them invincible - also a good target for a hotfix.

I'm so excited now that ZOS can hotfix things immediately. What do YOU think they should hotfix?

*SNIP* bad wording on ZOS part, paulington is right! Physical damage is not equal to weapon damage (there is no numbers that show that you go higher but the damage actually does (at least on the PTS).

Pausekey · March 2015

Lol it seems like they don't actually want people to earn CP.

Wouldn't surprise me if they eventually just set a flat rate of CP gain, 4 per day or something. Of course with crown store purchases you will be able to get 5 per day...

Wow, such exciting news! Personally I think they should fix the ritual tree in the CP system that doesn't work at all.

You know... this thing:

Without sounding like a ZOS supporter there is a possible reason for this.

The tooltip clearly says "Increases your physical damage by <x>%", not "Increases your weapon damage by <x>%". I know they are somewhat interchangeable but think, maybe it applies to physical damage *after* the hit?

For example, say you do 100 damage per hit now with 100 weapon damage as your stat, you put a few points in to Mighty to get a 4% bonus to physical damage and your weapon damage remains at 100 however if you look in a combat log your physical damage now does 104 damage instead, there's your bonus!

Not saying this is how it is, but it makes the most sense to me given the wording of the star you've put your points in and in my opinion it would be well worth testing.

DeathDealer19 · March 2015

yeah well why does zenimax give us these "stats" that aren't shown on our char screens? like spell pen or armor pen? why give us a choice to increase a stat we cant see?

Kuro1n · March 2015

That might be right, although I would rather have a straight answer from ZOS. They have ignored this wherever I've posted it no matter if I use @ZOS_GinaBruno and so in order to get a response.

Brick_XI · March 2015

Time to move on. 1.6 showed what they think of the pc players and where their priorities are. Was a good game for a long time. Sad to see things change so much. I never thought the nerf hammer was so strong.

that was cuz of broken enlightement system, for someone it wasnt appear at all, for someone it was 24 hours per day, not cuz grind XP quantity.

I got Enlightenment once per day for 4 champion points, and I was earning ~10 champion points/day. I started on Wednesday night, and ended about 2 hours before the hotfix at 104 Champion Rank. I only earned about 5 points on Wednesday night, so that means I earned a bit less than 10 points/day.

Messy1 · March 2015

It seems like ZOS does owe us some answers. The forum seems a bit chaotic right now.

I choose not to get upset about some things cause I realize a major patch has just been pushed through.

In my mind, ZOS needs to set the bar higher, perform better in every department, and treat their PC/Mac users with more information about the state of the game. Analogy wise, they need to tidy up their shop.

PC and MAC should be the priority for them the game should be ultra stable and workable. It seems to me that they will have major problems with the consoles. I'm not sure if consoles are the more stable platform or if PC/MAC is? I mean it seems like games are created in a PC environment where it should be easier to adjust them. I have no gaming creation experience so someone could chime in and explain the particular challenges that ZOS is facing if they know more.

seems like you was receiving enlight normal, but what about MOST of people who didnt received it? for those 4 days I personally received enlight without problems only once, all other times it was or disappearing, or rolling back all my progress, thats how it works for most players.

I disagree, when your talking stability from a dev perspective console is king. Everyone has the same exact system specs and the infrastructure is a known quantity 100% of the time. Makes client development much easier if you don't have to work about OS differences and hardware specs.

Nonetheless, the champion system won't appeal to console players. We're a bunch that expect near instant gratification or a remarkably engaging experience. Post lvl 50 neither is offered by the champion system.

And you complain because ZOS nerfed a spot where people could get 10-20 CP a day ?

Is this a joke ?

Kuro1n · March 2015

What ZOS should have done is to make it so you could gain a maximum of 1 CP per day and store those up (like 'E') instead of nerfing grind. I can't understand how they could mess this up so badly. Then the casual players could get their CP in the weekend and the rest of the community could enjoy logging in daily to get their points then do whatever they find fun ingame instead of feeling the need to grind really boring EXP to be competitive in PVP and PVE.

im not complaining about the nerf at all. I agree with it 100%. what im pissed about is that they hotfix something as stupid as a grind, but wont hotfix our broken enlightenment. I have had almost 0 enlightenment since 1.6 released. ZOS priorities aren't on fixing a broken mechanic, but doing a ninja hotfix to a stupid grind......,

Not everything can be hotfixed.

A hot fix is basically a server-side config level change. It requires no program change on the client.It does not require that the server be taken down.

It is like you adjusting the volume on your car radio. You can do that while driving. Actually replacing the broken radio is something you should probably pull over and stop for.

hopefully the cp system is not clientside...
