Official Discussion Thread for "Horns of the Reach and Update 15 Preview"

Jayne_Doe · July 2017

Thank you for finally making writ vouchers bankable. I only have one master crafter, so it hasn't been an issue for me, but it sure will be welcome to those who have split up their crafts.

Also, I don't PVP, but it's about time that AP was bankable too, lol.

Looking forward to hearing more about the new houses - am assuming these will be in DLC zones. If so, I'm hoping that there will be more than one option in each. I wouldn't want only a large (1M+) home in Gold Coast, for example. It'd be nice if, say, there was a small home/apartment in Anvil, with a medium/large home somewhere out in the wild. Some combination of an affordable home for most players (small home/apartment) and a more expensive home in each zone.

Also, I'd still like to see a small home added to Vvardenfell. EDIT: While one can argue that St. Delyn's Penthouse is more of an apartment than an inn room in terms of size, it functions as an inn room, with thus only 15/30 slots! There's a lot of space that just ends up either looking bare (few furnishings with a good amount of decorations) or Spartan (decent amount of furnishings with very little decoration). They give you a really large inn room - it seems to be about the size of the Sisters of the Sands apartment, but you can't really do too much due to the item restriction of an inn room.

I keep wondering, with so many crafting motifs and the way dropped sets are practically a requirement, why in the name of Sithis can we still not alter the style of dropped armor sets?

Actually, I had an idea for costumes/appearances of each racial style. That way you can run Necropotence and Destructive Mage with an appearance/costume that makes you look like you're wearing all High Elf or Dark Elf style armor and weapons.

Why on earth?!? You know how many times I've been spammed by random people to join their guild because I was standing at a way shrine or in a bank? I cannot see any reason this is useful. Please at least have an option to purge it.

I'd also like a minotaur version of this so I can have the bull head in heavy armor while wearing Plague Doctor + Akaviri Dragonguard gear on my tank. Love the look of being a minotaur dashing towards enemies with a Shield Charge.

@ZOS_GinaBruno what exactly do you guys mean when you mention Guild Invite History? Is it going to track which guilds you've been invited to, or is it an expansion of the Guild Roster information tab accessible through the guild menu?

ToxicPAWS wrote: »

BTW @ZOS_GinaBruno - In which Map these dungeons are located?

They're both in Craglorn!

Ah so it's just an expansion of the roster history. That's great to know

It's actually the restoration of something we had, then for no discernible reason was removed.
When an invite is extended, you'll see "@membername invited @recruitname to the guild" in Roster history.

So nice to see this is finally coming back. It's a small but helpful feature for managing a guild.

Thanks!

As much as I want transmog to be a thing, posts like these make me wish that Big Z would scrap whatever plans they have announced for transmogrification just to spite all the crybabies.

This isn't going into your history if you are invited to the guild.

It's going into the guild history of the guild doing the inviting.

i.e. "@JoeOfficer invited @Durnik to the guild."

Crybabies? Nice attitude. I know I'm never going to get something as good as "fix lag" or "remove proc sets", but I don't understand why it takes years for something as simple as being able to create your characters appearance as you like. Jewelry crafting is another issue, but one crybaby concern at a time.

Well, don't I look like an idiot. Guess it would help if I actually read what was said. I'm not usually that stupid. Thank you for correcting me.

Funny to hear that as just this morning I was at the Belkarth wayshrine banking stuff after doing crafting writs and was hit my multiple trade requests on two different characters in less than 15 min.

Asardes · July 2017

How much will the DLC cost? I'm expecting the same price as SotH 1500 Crowns.

fwr.phoenixub17_ESO · July 2017

Bloodroot Forge
Gherig Bullblood
Domihaus the Bloody-Horned
bizarre Nirnblooded creatures

Seriously, guys, where is your bloody imagination?

@ZOS_BrianWheeler

Add a movement speed debuff to the carrier in chaos ball. Based on the description, the game mode is going to favor stacking to max movement speed and just running until the match ends.

Gahhh.. I wish I could read this at work. But the site is blocked..

Sintao · July 2017

Hey all and @ZOS_GinaBruno

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank-you ZOS for the upcoming ability to customise combat cues for ability and attack telegraphs. This is a huge non-trivial deal for colour-blind players and players with various degrees of visual colour deficiency, and represents a great equity proposition for less able players. It's this under-the-good stuff that I love to see (yep I love the new stuff too!).

I've posted a detailed thanks in the Colour Blind Mode thread here as well.

the ability to cancel a research project mid-way

Please tell me this is an error that should read "the ability to pause a research project mid-way so that you can start a different one"? If not, you know that someone is going to come crying because they were drunk and cancelled a ninth trait job after 26 days.

If the article is correct I fail to see how it's in any way a quality of life improvement.

Still no "Reply" button on mail, though?

They're finally giving us back the invite information on the guild roster. Give it another three or four years and we might be blessed with a reply button.

Great news, but....

My scales require moisting.

Black List fo guild pls

Vaoh · July 2017

These dungeons are in Craglorn?

Sounds cool! I hope they are as difficult as the Shadows of the Hist dungeons.

Also I was unaware of the Quality of Life improvements being implemented. These are very welcome along with any bug/performance fixes and updates to UI/existing systems.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Will there be any changes to the Orsinium loot-table? At the moment the Orsinium loot (maelstrom arena sets included) doesn´t follow the same pattern as the rest of the Overland loot (All gear can come in all traits and exists as weapon and jewels. Also that all pieces can drop in all qualities).

Any plans regarding this?

This please! Briarheart needs to drop in sharpened!

NeKryXe · July 2017

what about coloring our characters hair at the dye stations? will it be possible after update 15? i think that this has been asked for many years but never solved. it was falsely advertised on update 11 but it's still not available.

Zypheran · July 2017

How many new houses are being added?
Any details at this point?
Will they be on the PTS this month?

rootimus · July 2017

Having read the PTS patch notes, they really do mean cancel a research job, not pause it to start another one. I'd absolutely love to hear how this is a quality of life improvement.

So, when will Horns of the Reach actually go live? The article on the official site only said "in August."

@The_Patriarch I know I'm not 'official' in any capacity, but generally it's four weeks from when it hits the PTS to release, and it's on the PTS now. So probably mid-August.
