The sorc pet changes are a start, but really if you want pet builds to be more than a small niche, their damage and crit need to scale off whichever character ability is higher (Magic or Stamina). The damage of pets for stam sorcs is pitiful, and even if buffed the slots being taken by pets would mean that raising the damage wouldn't be unbalancing -- it would be just a different play style.

They're not going to put back in these restrictions after just removing them all. They need to update in-game lore to match the changes, not revert the changes.

But that breaks down the whole game logic.
If the plot tasks alliances will be executed out of order, and chaotic, then the players will lose just a logical chain "where it all started and what all it is." As will become useless and quests Cadwell`s Silver & Cadwell`s Gold as players, and without them would be able to carry out any order story quests of all three alliances in any order.
And the same Coldharbor, let the player come to pass without the quest, which should open access to it and how to understand the events occurring there? The storyline must be respected.

I don't disagree with that. You can see all of my thoughts on the story chains over here. But there are ways to keep ZOS' vision for One Tamriel and keep the story making sense. Aside from the things in that thread, the primary issue that needs to be addressed for that to work is telling players immediately, when they enter another alliance's territory, that some mysterious force is hiding their true colours from the major players of that alliance.

Question: If you place items in your home when you are subbed (with a greater max allowed), what happens to those items when your sub ends?

I must be totally inept but I am having trouble with attunable stations in my inventory. I travel to the location to craft the set. I stand right next to the Blacksmith Crafting station. I highlight the Attunable Blacksmithing inventory item. I press E. the icon displays the circle sweep like a watch second hand -- the Attunable disappears... There's nothing added to my inventory, my bank, there's no furniture item to place in my home. What am I missing?

Can a person (Preview These) Before buying them?

Can anyone tell me if the "Tel Var First Armorer" and "Tel Var Second Armorer" also sell weapons or is it armors only? What is the price per piece of armor? Thanks!

There should never be any "prerequisite" for buying any Homestead. It inherently discriminates between players who have the time to make the effort to satisfy the prerequisite(s), and players who do not have enough playing time for a fair opportunity to make it worthwhile, whether feasible.

I disagree. I like the fact that your new neighbors want you to have helped them out. It’s true to the Elder Scrolls spirit.

Well, then: when I began playing ESO over two years ago, I created one Imperial Sorcerer (Ebonheart Pact) and one Breton Sorcerer (Daggerfall Covenant). After escaping from Cold Harbour, each one of them completed all the quests in their respective beginning zones that enabled them to move on to complete the quests for each of the other five zones in turn. Each one also entirely completed the Main Story quest line, the Mages Guild quest line, and the Fighters Guild quest line.

Along the way, each one also completed various and sundry "side quests" without connection to the primary quest lines. After killing Molag Bal and sparing all of Tamriel from the Planemeld, each one also completed the quests in the other two pacts which constitute the Cadwell's Silver and Cadwell's Gold quest lines respectively. Both also completed the primary quest line in Wrothgar.

Each one also conquered (often solo) each and every delve, each Public Dungeon, and all of the Dolmens in all of the zones, and many World Bosses in each and every zone, too. Then they proceeded to conquer many of the Group Dungeons in the Undaunted set, and one almost completed the main 10-dungeon quest chain for Craglorn, too.

Essentially, those two characters have been everywhere at least once and I have done almost everything twice. All of their "new neighbors" have already met them and known them to be heroes, for such folk have benefited from their courage, their compassion, their perseverance, and their martial and diplomatic skills.

In sum, short, and fine, they are not just Heroes for their respective alliances. They are known to one and all as heroic Saviors of all Tamriel. What have they left to prove to anyone?

But the Daedric Prince of Dollars and Greed known as Zenimax Online (or "ZO") has yet another scheme, one for selling "homesteads" in Tamriel to players for their characters to occupy and furnish. Neither you nor your characters have done anything to "deserve" the right to spend Gold Pieces to obtain such a homestead until they please that deity, have they?

@Flowergnome (post #615, January 6) had it right. Each and every Level 50 CP 160+ character that has done what mine have done should be awarded a Manor of the player's choosing at no cost, and a Title to go with it.

Whether we could make the same argument for PvP heroes in Cyrodil is a matter for another discussion.

Mysterious, indeed, especially for Khajit, Argonian, or Orc characters. Each of the three Alliances is based upon its races. So any character should be able to identify an enemy upon sight, just from the other character's race. (There is a way to design the game differently, but it seems to be a mite late in the day to overhaul ESO in that regard.)

An Imperial character isn't fighting for the Empire and Empress Clyvia unless they are an NPC . Else, a player's Imperial character can fight in Cyrodil for one of the Alliances to seize the throne. Outside Cyrodil, they are diffidently accepted as a "free lance" without an allegiance -- so they are no one's enemy, but may become someone's ally.

Actually not scared [snip] from this!

rejoice however! DKs need to be out of magicka and health to be viable at healing now instead of just out of the health!

ROFL. How can they nerf this ability?!
This is definitely a mistake.
It would work if the heal amount depended on max magicka.
[edited to remove quote]

(Looks at all the nerfing, *face palm* *sighs* lol, gose back to fishing, gathering resources and crafting.)

All classes are broken, can't play the game solo when a squirrel can kill you.
Might as well avoid the mobs and just stand a round, avoid people at all cost and don't for the love of Mara enter PvP...
See ya next month for new nerf day. (Walks off with middle finger in the air. Gabs pick, axe and fishing pole)....

I wonder what the main point of this is:

• Strife: Increased the cost of this ability and its morphs by approximately 38%.

A skill used mostly by SaP tanks as a single target damaging spell/heal (then morphed into the normally picked version "Swallow Soul"). That doesn't even do that much damage (used mainly for the healing) nerfed by having it's magicka cost increased by 38%. With no buff to justify or compensate for the nerf.

What a joke........

Cant get on board with changes with Shade. This will automatically put you in combat and you'll lose the element of surprise for some stealth builds. Do sorcerers automatically go in combat when they have a pet out?

If they truly want it to copy the player, it should. If you are not in combat, neither should the shade. If you are in stealth, the shade should be.

If you really wanted to give nightblades (specifically magicka) some real power have the shade copy every attack (yep ultimates too) but at 10% the output of the player.

Just going to leave this here

Also would be nice if Strident Springs Demesne had a cellar but i bet it wont happen

For Homestead, are the three Manors only available for Guilds, like Guild Flagships in SW:TOR?

Anyone with the gold or crowns can buy any or all the houses.

Yeah. There is no way I can earn that much gold in the game. But I certain can earn that much real money to purchase crowns. "Kind of sad that. My being able to earn more real money sooner than in game gold."

My point exactly.
Grinding 4M gold is somewhat close to 200-250h of in-game grinding. If the house is (let's say aproximately) 10k crowns its about 70-80€, which resolves in 3h of real life salary. Not a discussion from my point of view.
