Is it really a surprise that ZOS fails to identify cause and effect, and they can't math?

Why would they when they have unpaid interns YouTubers that do it all for them?

LOL.

Take a deep breath. MMO balance isn't something you achieve. It's more like a journey that never ends.

It is constantly evolving and changing. That is just the reality of creating and running an MMO.

Try to chill before the devs end up like Blizzards. Full of contempt for their own customers.

I would rather they did, and left.

This is not an adequate reason to stop pushing them to do a better job. Because the current balance is atrocious, and has been for ages. needless changes and nonsensical 'solutions' to problems that nobody wanted fixed.

They. Need. To. Learn. By feedback or by profit loss.

Yeah, keep up the awful attitude and I promise you they will continue to ignore whatever it is you have to say. No one is going to read hundreds of posts everyday from people just bashing them nonstop with the mentality of a tween.

I don't have a big elaborate argument or comment to let ZOS know that I have been playing since the beginning and that I am thankful for a mostly functional game that I have sunk a lot of time into, BUT I will say that if you, ZOS, expect to earn trust from your community then you should invest more trust in those of us that put valuable time in the game and give insight to improve it. In this I believe you have erred drastically by seemingly throwing caution to the wind and valuable input aside, going LIVE with untested changes and content. It's a shame you did that, and I'm sure it will all work out, but I agree @Gilliamtherogue. His and other's efforts and time are appreciated by the community. ZOS should do the same even more so.

I take it you never watch their Twitch. For at least one of them, that ship sailed long ago.

What I always wonder is why people open threads, linking YouTube videos of some guy.
And write things like "he said that...."

When he wanted it to be on forums, he should post it himself.
But in this case it just looks like someone is longing for their "Idol's" appreciation

:O

Message from ZOS to all the players out there:

Shut up you moron, i know better.

@Gilliamtherogue superb as usual. Cheers buddy.

So if we don't chill then we'll get devs from Blizzard?



Promise?

ZOS are just so clumsy with their changes- like watching a bull in a china shop. this isn't experimental- its mathematical- its logical- its scientific- yet the way they do things is ridiculous- "oh lets try taking a 1000 off this and putting 8 percent into that! no? lets try putting on 1000 and taking away 8 percent!" its stupid. gamers have a finer understanding of their own calculations they they do- its really embarrassing to seem them stumble about each time.

to me theyre like idiot teens who inherited dads fortune and company. like jerry buss or something. the people that made this fine game have long gone- now we re left with dumpsties who dont know how to balance a game. we all want the same thing- multiple weapons, traits, builds that are viable- but they can't get it right. its been 3 years.

i want for example to duel 3 people- same skill and class, different builds, and each of us to have an advantage over another- but a disadvantage over someone else- and for it to be contextual as gil says.

so that if i go into a trial- i might have better damage over light targets- but another dps does more damage aoe- or anther guy does more damage on bosses. each of us needed specific builds and weapons for our tasks. as it is- we ve seen meta- where everyone has the same crap - but it changing to different metas each time- thats just rearranging of the same problems. to condense that- you ADD more Cp to an already overflowing cup of dps increase that is swallowing the content of the game.

I'm close to being done zos- I've given you so much money and time- but you guys stuff it up time and time again- please make some changes - not to the balance - that is obvious- but to your company, strategy , staff and structure. you're not doing it wrong- its more fundamental- the wrong people are doing it.

@Gilliamtherogue If the game provided an easy access to crit chance bonus, PvP builds would still be using impen gear with no real other choices. I mean if there are sets that provide 21% crit chance, shouldn't there be sets to counter that with critical resistance? Those 21% was indeed so over the top that Leviathan set was not even needed as it would provide more than 100% crit chance for many stamina builds. In PvP, you would have builds with high crit chance and high crit damage but many stamina builds have no access to shields to counter that.

I would really like if the devs changed the Shadow mundus to provide critical resistance bonus instead of damage, which is very situational.

The sky is falling
