How much backlash do you expect?

It's about that time again when people are super hyped for those patch notes, only to be enraged and start making hate threads prior to testing the actual content. So what kind of response do you suspect from this wonderful community?

✭✭Each balance patch always enrages people since buffing some of them means nerfing the others and vice versa.
This update is advertised as a balance patch like never before (apart from housing of course) so I expect a huge rage among people.
Personally, I am worried, concerned and anxious about the upcoming changes. I am afraid that things will be much worse and I don't have great expectations.3 -

Sits over in corner hoping some of those buffs can fall over onto magicka NB as well. I like my 35K DPS, because I also can provide some utility, but when any class can run stam and do 50K, and mageplar and sorc can hit 45K. Yeah magDK and mageblade need some love!

Pretty much.
Although I'm worried about my "oddball-just-for-fun" build, I have to admit. My Cryomancer depends too much on the proc of her Winterborn set because of the lack of ice skills in the game, and ice mages were already sub-par. I'll have to play around with her a bit on the PTS to see where she goes from there.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair.

✭✭✭✭✭OtherI expect less outrage. First, because not so many people seem to care anymore.
And maybe because there won't be any significant changes. I just woke up and I'm not sure if I dreamed this or not. But didn't Gina Bruno say, that the balance part will be a very small part ?Auri-El is my lord,
Trinimac is my shield,

✭✭✭✭The typical ALL CAPS retaliation.There will be plenty of outrage, but I suspect it will not be due to the changes listed, but to all the things they will neglect. I honestly don't think there are many combat and skill changes coming down the pipe. I foresee another epic drop of the ball on ZOS' part with regard to balancing.1 -

✭✭The typical ALL CAPS retaliation.Classic . Even if ZOS makes something useful/useless , people will still rage saying the opposite . Look at 2H ultimate . Everyone raged because they thought it was so strong but now , almost no one uses it . Look at destro ultimate . Everyone raged because it was super weak , LOL . Don't even wanna talk about it . Everyone said Stam Sorcerer is still the worst when they introduced Hurricane . Look at where it is now . See where I am getting at ? It was always like this , will always be like this . No one ever bothers to actually test . They just yell .
So , I ask everyone , please ! Go and test . Don't share opinions on what you see on patch notes . I am asking nicely . Please .7 -

But elemental storm was indeed bad in tests. Berserker strike was indeed strong in tests and so on.
Unlike people in forums , we actually went to PTS and tested Destro ultimate (along with other sets and new skills/ultimates) in trials (almost all of them) even before it was buffed . I don't know what kind of tests you did but it was weaker than Meteor of course (still better in AOE) but after buff it was almost as strong as Meteor in single target and much better in AOE . People who think and go test before giving opinions , knew that it would be overpowered while there were still lots of people raging about it even after the buff .
It was this crap community who made Elemental Storm the way it is now . The constant crying . It was good the way it was before the buff . It was supposed to be used for AOE . Now it is so strong , people use it for Single Target . What is the result we have now ? People crying again . ''Nerf it ! Too strong ! BROKEN !''
I am telling you . If there is a set/skill/ability that will be introduced in the game , people will rage about it , without actually testing . It doesn't matter what it will be . There will be rage and complaining . As I said , it was always like this and always will be .6 -
