    Oh no not Deltia if he is concerned then it must be something.....

    Who the puck is Deltia again? Oh a drama queen twitpilot
    He also told the crybabies to stop paying for and playing the game, but you won' t listen to that so why listen to this?
    Also many of us pointed to ZoS to not give streamers special attention, because crap like this inevitably happens.


    Here's my point ZoS isn't the first company to over/under tweak something and they won't be the last, showing your ass like this only cements every negative stereotype people say about hardcore gamers, which blows back on everyone that plays games. How about for once not living up to the stereotype. I like the rational approach Alcast is taking now with a wait and see attitude, the rest of them need to go find their safe space.


    I have never seen such hair pulling and teeth gnashing from supposedly grownup people....it's kinda pathetic.

    Ok use your brain here if he wanted to continue making money he would not say anything and make up some nonsense about how its not that bad and continue making builds and show support. Anyways clearly he is concerned and for good reason we really have no idea what the direction zos wants to take and no confirmation of what this really is, more patch notes to go so crossing fingers.

    Not all of them are. There are some that genuinely nice and helpful to more casual players. They tend to put out guides for the stuff the "elite" won't touch such as crafting or fishing. You know, fun things.[/quote]

    Right have to agree here, take @MissBizz for instance she has streamed a ton of helpful stuff and is super nice when you ask a question.

    He's right that if you don't like something, you should speak up. It's still in beta, plenty of time to adjust things. ESO has a history and not all patches were how to put it nicely... optimal. Maybe it could help even more if the feedback was more constructive.

    Everybody could see the problem with CP impact on resource management, but the solution should not include taking away resource management coming from synergies or teamplay. Quite the opposite, ZOS should encourage teamplay and skill and create interesting synergies. Instead, they have created a new class with all the possible buffs and made it look pretty by crippling other classes.

    Simply put, current classes mixed and matched and needed each other. The warden does not need anybody else. Maybe another warden... that is a wrong direction chosen only to sell more copies.

    Could it be that people are getting tired of being burned in mmorpgs? I am not saying thats the case here but this certainly looks that way with the patch notes, I doubt you have been burned much instead of making *** poor chilidish judgements then why don't you be an adult and try to understand the situation.

    Deltia was always the voice of reason, talked us down with all the previous patches and showed us the silver lining about the upcoming changes.

    He like most everyone hates this patch, realizing is a $$ grab by ZO$.
    Its not an cash grab, rather the opposite, before the patch it was: cool back to Morrowind, new class, battleground.
    Was complains about price and not included for eso+ else everybody was happy.

    People buy Morrowind as its an new expansion with lots of cool stuff.

    The number of players who cancel preorders or sit on the fence including all the negative going on in the guild chats right now will do reduce sale more than 10x the damage the few who will buy morrowind to get the warden because the other classes are nerfed.
    Worse as the negativity will spread outside to other gaming forums then the Morrowind previews start coming.
    No it will not be an end to ESO but an 20% drop in sales over the pre patch enviroment is realistic.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Well if you stay quietly then it will make it to life for sure.

    I'm glad you find classes fun after these nerfs. Guess what? - when you got to love one class - maybe in one year from now and then ZOS hit you with another nerf hammer to accommodate Necromancer class then lets see how you stay quietly then.

    The people who doesn't care where this game is going stays quietly. Once you care you cannot stay quietly anymore.

    Only meta players want the meta builds, that's not how everyone enjoys the game. There're plenty of other things and aspects of the game and fun.

    Like he said, if you don't understand why people are so upset is because you have no idea how those changes will affect the game and you don't care about it.

    The people who don't care are the level 40s and cp 100s that stand on the bushes around auridon all day, play music through their headset. It's hurting the people that run dungeons and trials.

    Exactly or any content in this game that requires you to kill something.

    That's not what it means.

    If you really think everything is fine you're just being selfish, new players, casuals, average players won't even be able to do a vet dungeon if this goes live

    Now we are selfish if we dont agree....lol good one.

    I'm considered elite, I've done all the raids in vet, all the dungeons in HM, I have all the sets, all the weapons, all the cosmetics from PvE and all the titles I need.

    You see those changes? I don't give a single f about them because everything I do now is PvP and I've really found a build on my stamsorc to have infinite sustain so this won't hurt me, my friends, my guild, you know why? Because everything is easy for us but not because of CP, gear, sets, classes just because that's how it is there's always good, average and bad players and you can't punish the average and bad players just because the good players are not having fun anymore, you can't do that, people need to stop being selfish is not because someone can do vMsa naked that everyone can do it too, is not because a good team nuked rakkhat in 36 minutes that everyone can do it, is not because some people due to their animation canceling skill and rotation doesn't have sustain issues that everyone can do it.

    Speaking up and saying if you dont like something is ok, its what an adult would do. You know like giving feedback?

    What he is doing is freaking out over Beta and asking people to stop funding and playing after the first cycle. That is out of order and i hope he gets banned.

    Or I'm not a immature person that has a spaz fit over a patch for a video game.


    I do understand the situation I understand better than you know having consulted in the industry for 25 years before I retired.

    What people fail to get is none of the decisions made for a patch are arbitrary, developers have a metric crap ton of information they have to distill and they have the opinion of every armchair developer that has ever logged into their game. A lot of times we can't see what they are looking at in testing, nor can we see what they have planned for the future.

    And almost every time no matter what they do some idiot, will jump them with both feet, tell them they are destroying the industry and maybe even make personal threats against them. ( All that Ninety hour weeks and some of the lowest pay and worst benefits in the IT industry can be yours too)


    They ranters can't shut up long enough to realize that MMO mechanics are fluid, adding even the smallest thing changes everything else and often time the first or even fifth adjustment isn't the right one, but you just can't shut down the game until you get it perfect for everyone, because that is never going to happen.

    This situation isn't forever, no situation in any MMO ever will be.

    Miss Bizz always so reasonable! I understand Deltia's frustrations as well. Im not in that realm currently - Im just trying to think what is good and what is bad, and what is overboard. Some of the changes I think are, when piled together.

    ZOS intentions ARE to make radical changes. We would typically give them hell for not doing that. Its nice to see they are brave enough to - the best we can do is provide sensible feedback to guide that and hope for the best. They wont get it all right, but if they get it mostly right they can move the game in a new direction - and I welcome that. I, and many others, do not like the current endless sustain.. which is the issue they are trying to tackle head on.

    After thinking things over more, I still want repent to be returned to its unique group play function, and I want shards to still be a unique stam return specific to the class. They can keep orb to be a return for either - but they dont want it to double dip with shards either. The major mending nerf is a thing, but it is getting minor mending in return. The wardens major mending is conditional - which isnt bad (not full uptime like templars previously). They want to take away full uptime it seems on healing, and I like that thought process. The igneous is too much or functionally not well designed. DKs should have more realiable access to it. But like I said - still thinking things over.

    Pretty sure templars will retain the unique place they have as healers over wardens for specific burst healing. That is what BOL is able to do, and wardens are not getting that. Its some of the other parts of warden that need to be looked at in my opinion. They should continue to promote teamplay functional - not tear away at the unique features classes have.

    Then you clearly have not seen the industry pull this and continue killing build diversity and among other things because they do not really test to begin with, I never said people should not wait for more notes but if people stay silent then greedy companies will continue getting away and people will not hear the negative truths of the direction of those said companies, sorry but I just disagree with you there but your right no one should say the sky is falling now when we only seen the start oft he patch notes.

    To be honest it does sound like you do not see the bigger picture and never care beyond your own class issues, most people like yourself only look within the box and this is why you likely think it is just fluid mechanic changes in those other mmorpgs you played. And im sorry but you been playing mmorpgs since when now? Meridian 64? My first mmorpg was eq1.

    But trust me there is hardly anything fluid about mmorpg mechanic changes in newer mmorpgs, they are not just changes they are very bad changes in many mmorpgs, just because you can adjust to bad changes does not mean everyone else should nor does it mean mmorpgs should be this way. Not to mention you see this often with mmorpgs with pve and pvp atleast wow split skills between pvp and pve.

    I hope ESO : Morrowind to not become "Heavy attacks online"

    I agree with DELTIA too. Warden will be OP ..the rest of the classes will have huuge sustain problems, especially stamina ones.

    Also hoping ZOS will make the proper changes to the game not the stupid ones written in the patch notes 3.0


    If these changes ( pts 3.0) will be on live...ZOS will kill their own game.

    We still have a few months before june...

    In the mean time I hope closed beta testers to provide good feedback to developers to NOT implement these huuge nerfs.

    I hope to see another tier of difficulty of dungeons /trials instead of this huuge nerf .

    The games industry has been a crock of poop for a long time.

    Just spend a week watching some old Jim Sterling stuff. However at the end of the day if you enjoy a game (like ESO) and you're not forced to pay money you don't want to (optional fees for cosmetics) as horrible as the practice is you still have a game you enjoy.

    These changes will be painful, I am sure I will be raging at some point myself, however I am also old enough and wise enough in the MMO industry to know this is what happens and things will change, either the players adapt or the devs patch things to a better level.

    Some people here suggesting he is acting like a child and it's not a good reason to quit. To say that shows you can't see what the long term problems are here. He has a totally valid point and it's a competely reasonable reaction that MANY share.

    As a gamer in this game you invest time and energy into a class, or classes of your preference. If that class gets destroyed while offering you a new different class underneath a paywall that will do what your old class did, that is unfair, inconsiderate, and basically insulting to a player invested in that class. It is also a totally valid reason for leaving the game and seeking a new game. Either way you are being asked to start from scratch in order to have the thing you already had. It's unreasonable.

    [snip]

    Ah, and see, where people concerns lie can be very very different. @FENGRUSH and I both play the same game (ESO), but we really really don't. How we play this game is astonishingly different. As well it's not just how we play that's different, it's the aspects we like/dislike, our skill level and more.

    The "radical changes" are what I dislike the most. I'm personally not a fan of it. I'm not super skilled. When these radical changes come up (flashbacks from 1.6 are happening) it makes the game much more frustrating for me. Just when I think I'm finally getting close to getting good, I feel they pulled the rug from my feet and here I am at the bottom again. Without the superior knowledge of this game that some people have, it's much harder to even attempt to get back to where I was before the update. I do have a decent grasp on how things work, but no where near the detail many folks have.

    I honestly don't believe they took these things from templar (as an example) to make the Warden better. I really don't. I do believe though that they realized the combat then envisioned has been gone for awhile now, and they woke up one day and decided they actually were going to fix it. Rather than find a balance of large strides towards fixing it, and pulling the rug from other people's feet.. .they decided to just pull the rug and hope it's like a bandaid. Pulling it off faster will hurt less.

    And almost every time no matter what they do some idiot, will jump them with both feet, tell them they are destroying the industry and maybe even make personal threats against them. ( All that Ninety hour weeks and some of the lowest pay and worst benefits in the IT industry can be yours too)


    They ranters can't shut up long enough to realize that MMO mechanics are fluid, adding even the smallest thing changes everything else and often time the first or even fifth adjustment isn't the right one, but you just can't shut down the game until you get it perfect for everyone, because that is never going to happen.

    This situation isn't forever, no situation in any MMO ever will be.

    Right have to agree here, take @MissBizz for instance she has streamed a ton of helpful stuff and is super nice when you ask a question.

    Even I am complaining about the changes... BUT. I'm usually pretty clear that I'm not the person you should be listening to.

    As well, I'm making a full valid effort in testing things before I feel I'm allowed to fully QQ ;) Oh and thanks for the compliment :)

    Miss Bizz always so reasonable! I understand Deltia's frustrations as well. Im not in that realm currently - Im just trying to think what is good and what is bad, and what is overboard. Some of the changes I think are, when piled together.

    ZOS intentions ARE to make radical changes. We would typically give them hell for not doing that. Its nice to see they are brave enough to - the best we can do is provide sensible feedback to guide that and hope for the best. They wont get it all right, but if they get it mostly right they can move the game in a new direction - and I welcome that. I, and many others, do not like the current endless sustain.. which is the issue they are trying to tackle head on.

    After thinking things over more, I still want repent to be returned to its unique group play function, and I want shards to still be a unique stam return specific to the class. They can keep orb to be a return for either - but they dont want it to double dip with shards either. The major mending nerf is a thing, but it is getting minor mending in return. The wardens major mending is conditional - which isnt bad (not full uptime like templars previously). They want to take away full uptime it seems on healing, and I like that thought process. The igneous is too much or functionally not well designed. DKs should have more realiable access to it. But like I said - still thinking things over.

    Pretty sure templars will retain the unique place they have as healers over wardens for specific burst healing. That is what BOL is able to do, and wardens are not getting that. Its some of the other parts of warden that need to be looked at in my opinion. They should continue to promote teamplay functional - not tear away at the unique features classes have.

    Bravo @FENGRUSH. Thank you for rationally explaining things and not flying off the handle. Changes happen, and we'll all figure out how to handle them in time. Much like how local sports media will sway a fan base into wanting a coach fired, guys like you hold an immense sway over some of the more rabid ESO fans. You preaching patience is a welcome thing. Hopefully it will calm down all of the pitchfork wielding. Thanks.

    Equally well said @Balamoor.

    Some people here suggesting he is acting like a child and it's not a good reason to quit. To say that shows you can't see what the long term problems are here. He has a totally valid point and it's a competely reasonable reaction that MANY share.

    As a gamer in this game you invest time and energy into a class, or classes of your preference. If that class gets destroyed while offering you a new different class underneath a paywall that will do what your old class did, that is unfair, inconsiderate, and basically insulting to a player invested in that class. It is also a totally valid reason for leaving the game and seeking a new game. Either way you are being asked to start from scratch in order to have the thing you already had. It's unreasonable.

    I think its all these people who do not understand the gaming industry are the ones saying bad things about anyone with actual criticism about what is going on, usually because eso is all they really know.

    Don't really care what some guy who gets paid to play video games has to say - he doesn't speak for me.

    Sustain needs the nerf but thats about it.

    Besides - Deltia is the type of guy that refuses to be wrong. I remember asking about one of his builds during his stream and pointing out some flaws in the set up and he didn't like that at all. Seen him react the same way to others who simply point out inaccuracy in his builds and he won't have it. Guy is a child.

    Yep, he is often wrong about stuff too. Such as saying something does something when thats not actually how it works.

    He was a BOL spammer need i say more.

    Then you clearly have not seen the industry pull this and continue killing build diversity and among other things because they do not really test to begin with, I never said people should not wait for more notes but if people stay silent then greedy companies will continue getting away and people will not hear the negative truths of the direction of those said companies, sorry but I just disagree with you there but your right no one should say the sky is falling now when we only seen the start oft he patch notes.

    See you lose credibility and enter the mindless rant zone when you star spewing anthem backed speeches about greedy companies. Investor capitalist are greedy, most developers just want to make games, which is amazing considering the crap they endure.

    "Negative truths?"

    Let's have some ground rules, if you're going to attempt rational discussion about this please leave out the Politico-Conspiracy speak, it makes you look hysterical.

    To be honest it does sound like you do not see the bigger picture and never care beyond your own class issues, most people like yourself only look within the box and this is why you likely think it is just fluid mechanic changes in those other mmorpgs you played. And im sorry but you been playing mmorpgs since when now? Meridian 64? My first mmorpg was eq1.

    My own class? Jack you have no clue what classes I even play. Also my veiw comes from experiences as a player and a devloper, I think the way I do because I have seen projects both succeed and fail and many times they failed because the Lead Producer caved and decided to listen to that shrill person screaming that all was lost on some podcast.

    But trust me there is hardly anything fluid about mmorpg mechanic changes in newer mmorpgs, they are not just changes they are very bad changes in many mmorpgs, just because you can adjust to bad changes does not mean everyone else should nor does it mean mmorpgs should be this way. Not to mention you see this often with mmorpgs with pve and pvp atleast wow split skills between pvp and pve.

    Okay now you're just spewing hyperbole....we're done here.
