This is baloney

Vinther · June 2016

"Fixed an issue where the default enchantments on Alliance War weapons had higher values than intended."

Really? NOW? After I spent hundreds of thousands making a working build that utilizied one of these specific weapons...

3 weeks after the launch when you "fix" things?

I don't know anymore what builds or sets or items to craft/spend money on, because I don't know what is yet to be "fixed"...

This is so unreliable, anything can become trash overnight (or should i say overday, because you are patching the freaking client on EU primetime!?)...

I have been in eso since beta and now I'm seriously considering just dropping this, with all this awful crap going on... it just doesn't seem to get better.

They broke mi weapon! ;c am quit

jrgray93 · June 2016

I'm confused. You're upset that they fixed a bug?

jircris11 · June 2016

This happens all you can do is fix your build, sadly most of the changes aka "fixes" are due to people abusing them in pvp. Hell momost of the nerfs issued are due to pvp morons (those who love one shotting people but cry when it happens to them)

TieFighter · June 2016

i was a little salty when they changed my khajiit/2h build with the old molten weaps, but oh well- youll get over it too. if you have the right stuff youll find another build on your own.

Vinther · June 2016

A bug? They were "adjusting/fixing" the item. Which should have been done during the PTS testing or prior to launch when it would have been a CAPABLE developer... It was reported many times on PTS and it was considered "OK" and "NORMAL" by ZOS obviously because it was not fixed...

So people thought OK, this is how it's meant to be. And weeks later... nerf?

This has zero logic and makes any future builds unreliable...

Ok.

In MMOs stuff change.
After major patch/rework/reboot it is not uncommon for things to change over the next month or so as bugs get prioritized and not everything done at once.
A such it is not usually advisable to make irreversible and beyond-throw-away-expense allocations until the smoke clears.

At what point in the last few weeks did you reach the idea that "hey they got it all worked out now so its time to (over)commit!"?

jrgray93 · June 2016

Bugs being constantly reported on the PTS and still making it live is basically the norm around here. If you reported it on the PTS and knew it was fishy, you shouldn't have put your eggs in that basket.

Phinix1 · June 2016

I do get it. But honestly while it would be frustrating you really have no one to blame for yourself. This was talked about on the forums frequently as a bug they intended to fix. If you chose to spend an outrageous amount of gold to gain an advantage in the short term, well, I hope you got your money's worth is all I'm saying.

Consider it a lesson learned. Always do your homework before dropping the coin.

EU Prime time?? only if you don't work for a living.

Be safe

Voxicity · June 2016

get meme'd

dwtdwtdwt · June 2016

I'm a little discourage that this is all that was fixed under the "Item Sets" category.

What about the Vicecannon set? Many threads have been posted about it and many other players are having troubles with this set. Can we get some feedback about this please?

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

DKsUnite · June 2016

Ummm to anyone saying that this was a bug that was intended to be fixed, these enchants have been double since beta.... So he has a right to be annoyed that something from beta which just became relevant again after a year of being not at max level is now killed again...

Asmael · June 2016

Well, RIP faction axes I guess.

Zos said: no viable alternative to Maelstrom weapons.

I'd like seeing the exact changes tho.

Vinther · June 2016

Yeah, one of the reasons why I thought this could be a NORMAL thing is that it was the ONLY reason for anyone to EVER use this junk that faction weapons are...

So, ZOS, why the F you add all this junk into game if noone is ever going to use them anyway because they are worse than generic crap?

Why not give a viable alternative to get a DECENT weapon from PvP as well, not only from freaking vMA!

Feels like a bunch of kindergarten kids building a sand castle for the first time, when it comes to this mmo's developement.

FearlessOne_2014 · June 2016

Because ZOS has said you MUST get maelstrom weapons or get farmed by them.

Runs · June 2016

Dominion bow.... unresistible damage 5k down to 1.9k

Yeah, it's totally logical to have 1 mael weapon add 3200 weapon damage to a dot after flurry.

MAKES SO MUCH SENSE I CANT EVEN COMPREHEND.

Tan9oSuccka · June 2016

So, abusing a bugged weapon gets fixed and your outraged?

I have no words.

I think we do.You are angry because the Devs made a fix that you dont like.
This happens to most people at one point or another,and since it is just a game,and not real money spent for ingame gear,we all get used to it.
However,if you wish to rage-quit over it,well,that's your option.
However,..if you do,can I have your stuffs?
XD

You have no words because you don't get the point, at all.

3200 weapon dmg from maelstrom weapon is ok, but 700 from pvp weapon is not?

And it would have been fine if they would have fixed it when it was reported and when it was time to fix such things. Not when people already consider them viable alternative to mael weapons.

I don't even bother to explain it to someone like you, really

Duiwel · June 2016

Almost bought one over the weekend ... Hail Sithis for staying my hand!

Vythri · June 2016

It shouldn't have been a bug to begin with. Now the weapon is almost useless just like before.

Asmael · June 2016

"Baloney".

Mwuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

...

That's a good one.

-

Side note: prepare yourself to grind vMA.

...

...Again...

Vythri · June 2016

I'll grind for a vMA bow that only buffs Volley, and can simply be walked out of in PvP. Yaaaaay.....

Thornen · June 2016

If it makes you feel any better crit rush is broken again...

Aztlan · June 2016

I have to agree with the poster, although I'm trying to being philosophical about it. (Yeah, I know, things change in MMOs.) But I do wish that ZOS had made it clearly known that the enchantment was bug, not a feature, and that they intended to change it as soon as possible. Was there such a notice? I saw nothing. Although the Dominion Bow was relatively cheap, I did put resources into improving two of them to gold. I guess I can put disease enchantments on them now. Oh well.

THEDKEXPERIENCE · June 2016

If it seems to good to be true, assume a nerf will come eventually.

Also, next time someone tells you that you have to have a certain build because it's "best in class" point them to this thread and tell them to start saving their gold.

This is the main reason I went with an all infused armor set. Assuming they don't change what it does completely any nerf will most likely to be changing 20% to 15% or a buff would be similar the other way. I invested 500,000 gold. I wanted something as nerf proof as possible.

Pity. You still tried.

Bugged weapon is fixed? Good.

Not good enough for Maelstrom? Sounds about right.
