"We are aware of balance concerns from players with more champion points. As Phil mentioned the system was designed to help keep players closer in power level with diminishing returns and enlightenment bonus XP. In the future we can implement catchup mechanics so the first 400 champion ranks require less experience, helping get new players catch up.

Meanwhile we are adding 50% experience boosters to the game for 1000 crowns per 10 pack or you can craft it once you get the rare recipe and the rare ingredient that only comes from fishing (which gives no xp).

This seems counterproductive to "balance concerns".

I am not going to concern myself with what is in the next "big update" until they announce WHEN that update will be. I have been hearing about great, exciting things to come for a year and have seen very little of it other than server performance turning to crap

bosmern_ESO · June 2015

Really glad they are finally making new sets, most of the current ones arent worth it and they are all fairly similar.

They mention that info will come out during/after E3.

They only work on 1-50 it seems

Not the VR levels

It must have changed since then.

Both Psijic Ambrosia and the Crown Experience Scroll can be used at any level or Veteran Rank. Their boosts apply towards advancing your level, advancing your Veteran Rank, and for advancing your Champion Points. They do not apply towards things that don’t work off of Experience Points, like the Mages Guild and crafting skill lines.

I had the misfortune of watching this happen in lotro. Starts off innocent, then next thing you know there a 5min immunity to CC brands on the store with 1m cd.

What's about the 5-set-bonus: Your range attacks cannot be dodged anymore.
or the bonus: If yyour enemis uses BoL/Streak more than 10 times in 10 seconds, he will die instant.

I´d like a Set Bonus to ignore Block and Shields then.. :P

Ofc, would be an idea. But either blocking nor shields are a problem for my stamina NB. I just can permadodge and ignore Harness. But I agree that there should ba a set countering shieldstacking and perma blocking so fights wont be endless.

Really? 5-10 second fights are idiotic imo

Without having stamina burst (a huuuge stamina burst) a shield stacker always will create an endless fight. With harness + class shield no magicka build can be dangerous if you are careful.
If you don't have an magicka DPS build with whip/Concelead (+ detection pots) every stamina build can create an endless fight thx to dodging.
I am not talking about 5-10 second fights, but about a way to have interesting small fights. But.... I have given up hoping for good smallscale in ESO.

from the AMA

"To answer the itemization question: We have done a lot of work to make the itemization fun and exciting in the next major update. There are lots of cool unique sets for players to chase after in multiple different areas. We're doing extensive balance work to make sure they all give competitive bonuses instead of the current paradigm where everyone just chases the few uber powerful sets. This will allow players to customize sets to their playstyle instead of just getting whatever adds the most damage.
Additionally the new content has a short term and a long term item chase as well. To go hand in hand with that the power spike on the new items is bigger, so players are more rewarded for upgrading their gear."

I've not logged in for a while, the main issue for me is itemization not being very exciting - this makes me interested, further details will make me excited.

@Xsorus Thank you for the post. Really is good to see that this has been something they've at least acknowledged.

here is the link to the AMA, this one is talking about Sorc Stamina Morphs

They should change their dev tracker to monitor the forums they actually show up on rather than this thing I'm typing on. Seriously, what is this thing I'm on even for?

Dunno. They addressed around 22 months' worth of UI feedback within an hour once it was posted on the console reddit, while barely giving it a mention ever on their own official forums:
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/1866923/#Comment_1866923 . Similar threads have been ongoing since closed beta and past launch to the present day on the exact same things...

ZOS left UI console friendly so console users could have it look like Skyrim.....NOW they(console users) are posting multi threads asking for the UI that PC users have begged for since launch.

On one hand I hope ZOS finally gets their head of out solo play mode and gives us a functional UI.....but man I'd be soooo pissed if console got it and we were still stuck with skeever dung because "addons".

http://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/39gv5r/the_elder_scroll_online_tamriel_unlimited_team/cs384dr

At long last, @ZOS_ChrisStrasz gave an answer to this thread in response to someone's brief question on Reddit, but this information was not subsequently linked here or unfortunately communicated during these past months that it was ever under consideration. Can we get a bit more detail on the planned improvements from yourself or @ZOS_MattFiror ? I understand these last few months have probably been a hectic time while preparing the pc relaunch and console launches, but it would go a long way towards helping the community if you could. There have been a lot of people feeling lately that the PC and Mac versions and game have been being overlooked in favor of the console ports, and it is disconcerting to see such major news only be answered subsequently in a console launch thread on reddit, after being a very important topic since before the PC version launched as early as around 18+ months ago .

Time to start saving gold and AP. I love theorycrafting new builds, if any of these sets don't have a long cooldown to render them useless, you can be sure I'll be coming up with another stupid build lol.

My god this. SO MUCH TALK about all the amazing things to come... I still remember watching that stream from quakecon in July 2014 and none of the stuff they talked about there has been released yet. Unbelievable.

A set that would boost lightning damage would be nice, instead of everything being based around fire.

Id like a set that increase magicka dmg(spelldmg) basicly, theres heaps of sets that increase weapon damage, feels rather unfair.

That'll be interesting.

Damage against shields isnt mitigated so its already sort of buffed, along with the 20% shield reduction when you enter Cyrodiil.

Looks like I had best finish leveling my DK. My Templar will not be going into small scale PvP if this set bonus is significant.

Do we still need to level alts above VR1?

The idea was to remove veteran ranks entirely in the next marjor update but I havent heard anything about that lately.

bertenburnyb16_ESO · June 2015

so they just gonna add more sets with spell damage
what they need to do is add a crafting option to BS, Cloth an d WW to combine a item with certain stats/set with another item with certain looks, so that not everyone has to run around in breton gear to be competitive, but can choose the look he wants with the sets he wants, aka play the way you want

You must be high as *** judging from your signature so i'll let this slide for now.

a 5 set bonus. none of the 5 set bonus's are very good for magic dps, lotto skoria or str8 4 sets is all we got right now for diversity.

Xendyn · June 2015

I would like to see some kind of equivalent to Nirnhoned for melee damage (just not broken the same way lol)

Part of it is because the sets that do provide creative bonuses to Magicka DPS are inexplicably set up for Stamina builds or Hybrids that no one builds anymore. (Way of Air, Stygian -- both medium armours for Magicka builds)

Poxheart · June 2015

Stygian was an excellent set for a magicka NB in 1.5. Once 1.6 hit it turned to poop.

reften · June 2015

need to nerf nirm and steel tornado...coming from a NB who uses both.

Solution: Any AoE attacks stun the caster if they don't hit anyone.

Max amount of nirm equipable = 1 piece.
