Natch Potes! (sneak peek for next week)

jcaceresw · September 2016

I like the changes mostly for the movement speed bug. I am hyped for next week full patch notes. Hope you have more surprises for weapon ultimates reworking and adding a new ultimate for Undaunted skill (and make it level to 10 now).

WOHOO! (mostly for Tri-Focus)

themdogesbite · September 2016

Actually this makes me happy to see. Communication from the devs, finaly!

Recremen · September 2016

I love our devs.

Fixed an issue where your character’s movement speed was 10% slower when your weapons were unsheathed.

Quick! I need two forks of horripilation, a loin cloth, and a brightly colored head dress!

Lol you're awesome Rich

and awesome changes btw, especially the lightning staff and movement speed fix.

Hmm could we have these natch potes sneak peeks as a permanent feature?

Joy_Division · September 2016

TY for the Lightning staff revert. Each staff should have a distinct role and the splash feature was an excellent way to ensure that.

I know "troll repairing" is a bug and can be annoying, but I would not be opposed to leaving it in. It has become something of a strategy and does add an interesting dynamic to siege.

Dracane · September 2016

See ZoS ? How people love you when you communicate with them ?

We are like dogs, who appreciate every liddle thing their master is doing. Show your dogs love

And thank you so so much for reverting the changes to lightning staff. I didn't expect this to happen, but many people will be very very grateful for this.

Gilliamtherogue · September 2016

God F**king Bless @ZOS_RichLambert . Thank you so much for listening to all our rage about the Lightning Staff and leaving it as a strong contender and viable, but situational pick.

Quick sneak peek at a few PTS natch potes for next week, with some commentary. The actual patch note is in bold.

Keep walls can no longer be repaired when between 95% and 100% health while under attack.
"Troll repairing" as some people affectionately call it has been removed. We will be watching feedback on this change closely.

Fixed an issue where your character’s movement speed was 10% slower when your weapons were unsheathed.
A little background on this one... the design with character movement has always been you should move faster with weapons sheathed. Back in update 9 we fixed a bug where that wasn't happening. We've decided to change the design and are removing the 10% run speed penalty for having your weapons unsheathed. Thanks for all the feedback on this and we'd definitely love for people to provide new feedback on this change after playing it on PTS.

Poison Injection (Poison Arrow morph): Fixed an issue where this morph’s bonus damage to low-health targets was applying to equipped Poisons and the Poisoned status effect.
This is the "Ravage Health Bug" that some PVP players have been running into. Thanks to Nafirian on Twitch for reporting it with such great repro steps.

Tri Focus: Reverted the bug fix that caused Shock Heavy Attacks to not splash damage to nearby enemies during the entire channeled attack. The tooltip of Tri Focus has been updated to reflect this change.
This one is similar to the movement speed issue. The original design was the splash damage would only hit on the last tick. We fixed a bug where this wasn't happening and after feedback and evaluation we decided to change the design and revert the fix.

I love you

This.

Sharee · September 2016

Patch notes posted early *AND* with a dev commentary about the intent behind the changes?

/faints

Seriously, keep it up!

Sotha_Sil · September 2016

Great news - it will be weird to not have to sheathe your weapons but it's comfy, I like it

Moglijuana · September 2016

That's cute. Can you fix Mag DK while you're at it?

Rykmaar · September 2016

TY for reverting the changes to lightning staves @ZOS_RichLambert

I hope that the development team also reads some of the ideas for changes to destruction staves and light armor in general that have been mentioned in the PTS forum.

TiberX · September 2016

Very nice! Also great ideea with the sneak peak. U should do it more often

Tyrion87 · September 2016

What a nice surprise for the beginning of the weekend!

Thank you.

I'd say they should keep the troll repair but add a tooldip verbiage that explains that you can repair walls between 95-100 % while am enemy is attacking it.

Noooooooo!!! Why?!! Its a legitimate strategy! Sometimes that makes all the difference, you are at a keep by yourself.. enemy starts hitting the wall, you troll repair your little heart out while waiting for reinforcements. I mean its not like a troll repair cant be broken. Why this change now?

To be honest, I've never understood why it's considered a problem by people either, but I don't do nearly enough PVP to actually have an informed opinion on it. I'll let others discuss the pros and cons of it.

the_Beard · September 2016

Thank you @ZOS_RichLambert, this is great news.

Mettaricana · September 2016

Now if only they could fix the medium trinimac female armor that horrendously clips into your own legs no matter how fat or thin.. only been fugly since wrothgar launched

Sallington · September 2016

I'm drinking tonight in honor of no more troll repairing

Mojmir · September 2016

That's how I'd like the notes posted, always a fan of the "why's".

It allowed a small team to delay a keep seige long enough for defenders to join the fight.

It also allowed a larger defense force to never let a keep wall fall unless a large number of seige hit the wall at the same time (needed at least 6 stone trebs).

Preyfar · September 2016

RICH! This is pretty much the best thing ever. This kind of feedback/interaction with the community, reasonings... YES! Like, a thousand times yes. This makes me a happy Khajiit.

+1 guess so whinny ass asked for this

dagonbeer · September 2016

Glorious. Thank you @ZOS_RichLambert, good changes all around.

As for troll repair, I agree that I've seen good uses of it that contributed to game play, but needs some sort of cap.
