PTS Patch Notes v2.7.0 (Homestead)

JinmeiRobeitsu · January 2017

Are you guys going to work on sliders or on/ off options for the HUD on consoles? I would love to play without the crosshair on Xbox, thanks

Lukums1 · January 2017

So basically no major class balancing, what a surprise there.

Addressed SOME PVP issues.

Added Housing.

That's about it.

Oh I forgot... you also changed the order of some skills.

Was this supposed to be the big February patch notes... because personally I'm concerned.

OH and the nerf to DK... what were you thinking changing colag blood? zzz.

White wabbit · January 2017

No stam nightblade nerf guess still be wearing heavy then

reoskit · January 2017

Someone check my math: 25,737,000g altogether (minus 11-13k for your freebie). Yes?

MercTheMage · January 2017

Are you *** serious?? How many people actually have 4m gold

Lexxypwns · January 2017

I thought this was the balancing patch

Dracane · January 2017

Awesome buffs/fixes to Pets and awesome destruction staff buffs !
These are the best patchnotes I've seen so far.

Tryxus · January 2017

So Frost Staves now cost Magicka to block? Interesting...

Shokasegambit1 · January 2017

RiP Templars lol

Abeille · January 2017

I'm pretty happy with it. Can't wait to jump in the game and see everything!

I especially like the pricing of the houses. I think they look fair while being a good gold sink.

Atreyix · January 2017

O Snap, Talk about nerfs to templars lol. Anyways, Good job ZOS.

That's the point. It's supposed to be a great house that only few will have. I mean hell I have 100k gold and that's it.

Rataroto · January 2017

Kulaan_Doskad_Hadroz · January 2017

Thanks!

I'm not affected by balancing issues so don't know the ins and outs, but do the "Combat and Gameplay" changes not address them?

olsborg · January 2017

No ajustments to heavy armor vs medium armor vs light armor? Sadtimes.

TheHsN · January 2017

you really called it A BALANCE... OMG reallly omg....

Velocious Curse (Daedric Curse morph):

Renamed this morph to Haunting Curse.
This morph no longer shortens the duration of the curse to 3.5 seconds from 6 seconds; instead, it causes the curse to echo and trigger one additional time 6 seconds after the first explosion.
and pls somebody explain this...

if it is nerf or something FY ZOS and i guess it is really stupid thing... LEAVE IT how it WASSSS NONONONO leave all HOW IT WAS REALLY... DAMN YOUUUUUUUUU

and what the hell u make sorcerer all nacromencer!!!???

DAMN always same dissapointment... i waited 14 hours for this *** so called BALANCEEE... u just buffed MAG DK damn you ZOS AGAIN

Lady_Rosabella · January 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno I wanted the home in Stros M'kai that is on it's own island. Is it not available? Is that the one that will be released in the Crown store later? If so when do you expect it to be released? Please respond, as that is the home I want. Thanks so much Gina!

Flak · January 2017

If this goes live im out here.
You cannot expect PvE'rs to do the same old content slower and just go along with it, the nerf is ridicoulus.

Jeremiah87 · January 2017

I'm gonna have an aneurysm from being too happy about this

Leandor · January 2017

Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

So their idea to fix dragon blood, where the issue was not enough healing when needed, is to not increase the healing but also separate the size of the heal from the importance of it?

You either are crap on resource management but have a half decent heal even if you don't need it or you are good on the resources but still rely on embers only since dragonblood will do nothing. Well, or you use GDB. That's at least the same thing as before.

Yeah, they buffed mDK. Massively. By 5%. On one ability. Well, almost. Apart from the standart nerf.

Vythri · January 2017

This is the balancing patch we waited how many months for? What were you guys doing all this time?

Joshua_McCoy · January 2017

Not sure how I feel about dragon's blood. I do not think it will be a viable heal. What happens if you are getting ganked with full magicka and you need to heal. Also I have a lot less magicka on my back bar because I do not double slot Inner Light, It would really mess up my rotation putting a heal on my front bar. Dragon's blood would be really nice as a HOT like vigor or if it worked the same way as rally, but then Mag Dk's would be even more op. I was hoping to do away with running a restoration staff on my back bar but It looks like I will be keeping it, which is not a bad thing. However I am very happy with many other adjustments and will not take anything away from Zenimax just because I was overly hyped for an OP Dragon's Blood.

ketroc · January 2017

How about Heavy Armor balance in PvP. It needs toning down if there is to be variety of armor types in Cyrodiil.

apocalipsys_rgsub17_ESO · January 2017

Awwww right!!

Floliroy · January 2017

RIP Magplar and Stamsorc in PvE ...

WHY ?

redTechInc · January 2017

Lava Whip: Increased the damage from this ability and its morphs by 5%.

Standard of Might (Dragonknight Standard morph): This morph now increases your damage done and decreases your damage taken by 12/13/14/15% while standing inside the standard, down from 17/18/19/20%.

mag dk nerfed

Item Set procs which deal damage or healing can no longer Critically Strike.

proc builds "slightly" nerfed, won't have any positive effect on pvp though ; pve nerf.

Are the people responsible for this complete nonsense even thinking it through, before they promise DK buffs and changes on proc-sets that should only affect pvp? Really, the gameplay changes are mostly ***.

Etaniel · January 2017

Sooooo, their idea for buffing dragonblood was to make the morph that eveyone uses.... useless?
Thanks I guess?

Where do you get that from? The only real change is to radiant and that's still only a minor one.

Total Dark/eclipse changes more than make up for it in my opinion.

Combat & Gameplay
World
Soul Magic
Soul Strike: Removed 350 milliseconds of empty channeling time without another tick of damage occurring from this ability and its morphs. Total damage dealt with these abilities remains unchanged.

Vampire
Clouding Swarm (Bat Swarm morph): This morph no longer causes your character to pulse invisibility every second it is active. Instead, activating the swarm now allows you use the ability again to instantly teleport to an enemy up to 22 meters away and deal high damage. This teleport can be used as many times as possible within the swarm’s duration.

Werewolf
Pursuit: Fixed an issue where this passive ability was being removed when your character died.

Rousing Roar: Increased the duration of the Major Brutality buff provided by this morph to 20/21/22/23 seconds from 4/4.3/4.7/5 seconds.

I marked the ability i mean. @Wrobel i hope there is a cooldown of 1s to this ability. All other it seems an "instant kill" ability in 1v1.
