Dear
@ZOS,
I really do not like complaining but there are a few things that really make gameplay a lot less enjoyable.
I play (at this moment) as a Sorcerer in PvE and here a list of annoyances:
Bosses .... often are just respawning with full health when my Clannfear all the sudden decides to show up after a few minutes, I cannot unsummon/resummon him anymore as a second click on the button seems to heal him now. Not to great when you have 50% of the Boss health down, a third of magicka on the bar left and used up all ultimates and you see the Boss run to original spot in unvunrability mode .
Crystal Shards ..... the ability tells me it can take up to 3 seconds to summon them, but as they used to hit hard and there is a chance to summon them instantly I tended to use them a lot ... well, till it took 6 seconds that is, and the targeting system is also a bit off now as when I aim at an enemy in front of me the Crystal Shard might like to kill the rat at my right or left first. So now I use my lightning staff most, takes a bit longer but at least it seems to work as intended.
Line of Sight ...Enemies do not seem to have any problem to shoot, zap, stab and slash me when I am out of their line of sight (they do this through solid walls), but when there is a small rock on the ground I loose my line of sight to them.
Chests ... dissapear in thin air. I walk around and I spot a chest, YAY! So I run towards this chest and poof, gone! WTH? So I walk a few meters back and there is the chest again, walk towards it and again poof, gone!
Bagspace .... OMG, I always have my pockets full. I really like to craft my own gear and potions, so I stuff my bank full with materials that make me possible to create those. But my character has the pockets full with gear I like to research to unlock the traits, so I try to keep 50 slots open for what I loot in a Delve, and after doing one Delve or quest I have to run back to the bank and vendors to deposit and sell all I do not need on my journeys, and often I find myself just destroying items to make room for something I need more at that moment.
Running .... I run around a lot, as it does not help me to see resources while on a horse, which I also have to mount/unmount each time I see something that gets my interest. So now (after the last patch and hotfixes) I run a lot slower all the sudden, making distances between wayshrines last ages to cross. I try to use sprint as often as I can but as a magicka based Sorcerer I do not have much stamina to last long.
Health generation ..... this seems an mysterious formula as I could equip a ring that boosts my magicka pool as well deduct the costs of using magicka abilities and then find my regeneration of health dropped down to 12 ... and then charge my lighting staff to find my health generation is 600+ ... I do not get which combinations of (damaged) equipment or empty/fully charged staves influence my health generation.
Public and group delves .... Great, I finally made it to the remote located Delve to find there is 5 (or more) people in front of me (or caught up with me because I killed the enemies so they can run ahead of me and return "the favor") so all that is left is looting a few crates and barels, take the Crystal Shard and wait for the Boss to respawn so I can be done with it. And waiting for the Boss to respawn is not that bad in a public dungen but in a group dungeon OMG! That can take up to 20 minutes, but ... for what? There is no waiting achievement is there? Is that really an achievement to kill 5 or 6 Bosses and waiting an hour in total to do so? Is it also really not a good idea to make these areas instanced so people can choose to do this solo or with their buddies?
32bit client versus the 64bit client ..... Well, the 64bit client does run finally, it did not run when I tried it on the PTS but ... the random sounds that are generated drive me insane. I just walk around and all the sudden I hear a waterfal in a desert, hear blacksmiths hammering anvils, screaming monkeys, pigs, and even burping Orcs (at least that is how it sounds to me), besides random hissing sounds that make me go deaf. Then there is a problem with meshes and textures, meshes are shrunk or blown up to giant proportions, textures are missing making objects invisible or are replaced with some lava-pink texture, making environment look very unnatural. Quest marks seems to be non existant as well in this version of the 64bit client sooooo, yeah, I logically only use the 32bit client for now.
Well, end or rant here. There is some more but as that is usually "fixed" by a log off-log back in it hard to say it is structural rather than a glitchy network connection at the time.
thanks for reading,
