So, as in the title; I'm coming back to the game after a six month hiatus, and am busy cramming through the Patch Notes for the last six months. Currently, I'm cruising through the Horns of the Reach Update.
I will update this thread as I read more, and have more questions about the various changes.
1) I noticed with the Horns of the Reach Update, there's a new feature in the Guild Permissions for "View Guild Bank Gold". As a Guildmaster, I want to know, if I do not grant someone this permission, is the amount of Gold in my guild's Bank hidden from the general populace of my Guild?
2) I saw someone else mention something in reference to this in the Forums; Do Guildmasters now have ability to mass-Mail our Guildies? If this is true, this is a HUGE QoL update that would make managing my Guild much easier! Please; someone tell me that this is finally true!
3) I enjoy the changes to Crafting & Enchanting. Being able to Improve already equipped items will be a moderate, but welcome time saver; and being able to cancel and initiate Research "on the fly" sounds like a great improvement (that I haven't had the opportunity or cause to try yet.
).
4) The warning for Bind on Equip items was long overdue. Good to see that one.
5) So happy that I can have my Dunmer steal their way into three new Motifs. very much looking to explore that more.
6) Champion Point increase again... Meh. I logged in last night to check on my characters, and was already past the new cap. So that one doesn't really move me in any new directions.
7) I main a couple of Templars of various builds. But I can't find anything really ground shaking in the changes to this Class. Anything I need to watch out for as I dig back into Tamriel tonight?
8) Same as #7, but for Sorcerers. I have one of those as well, and Sorcerers are all my Wife plays. Anything we need to watch out for there?
9) Have we added any type of additional storage to Housing yet? Or are they still vanity/aesthetic only?
More questions will most likely follow, but for now I'd like to hear the Community's thoughts on my questions and observations.
Has the game changed much at all in the last six months? And what do you guys think of the changes, and what should my wife and I watch out for?

I'm confused on hirelings/crafting. After Homestead release....I could log in after a few days and have tons of messages from hirelings. Now when i log in after a few days, I only get one message/mats per crafting skill. Why/when did ZOS do this? I just got back on as well. I thought they brought in enlightenment for people who can't log in everyday.0 -

✭✭I forget when the change was made to the Crafting emails. A year? Two years ago? I can't remember.
What I do know, is that once you finish out that Hireling's email story, the game endlessly repeats the very last email indefinitely.
I understand that the writers can't constantly come up with new email stories on the fly, but changing them up every six months or so wouldn't be too bad, I wouldn't think.

✭✭✭✭✭1. You can enable or disable the ranks in your guild that can view the Guild Bank gold. You may need to set which ranks can or cannot view the gold in order to use the function properly, I don't know what the default setting is.
2. I don't know for sure, since I'm not a guildmaster. I don't think so, most guilds use add-ons for mass mails.
7-8. Templars took a few nerfs from the Morrowind update but nothing too difficult to overcome. Just check over your skills. Some major changes are that shards synergy now gives back the highest resource either magicka or stamina. Sorcerers are more or less the same as they always have been. The changes to sustain with Morrowind mean that every class will heavy attack more to sustain resources.
I'd suggest looking over the Templar section of the Morrowind patch notes: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/345258/pc-mac-patch-notes-v3-0-5-morrowind-update-14
Templars did not see many changes in Horns of the Reach, but traits, Mundus stones, and gear set bonuses did: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/365904/pc-mac-patch-notes-v3-1-5-horns-of-the-reach#latest
9. Housing is still vanity only.
Other questions:
The hireling emails now arrive only when you log in on the character. If you don't log in, you don't get the mail.
Enlightenment accumulate every day to a max of 12 days: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/158785/enlightenment-how-it-works
Hireling Email stories: ZOS added a bunch of new hireling mails with the Morrowind base game update so you will continue to get unique mails for a while.1 -

✭✭Awesome!
Thank you for the insight! I knew about the Morrowind changes, I was in-game for that (on and off at least).
But thank you for the rest of that.

Panomania✭✭✭✭Well, houses can have a couple functions: easy access for set crafting tables and mundus stones.The opinions of others should always be heard, especially if they dont agree with your own! But you always reserve the right to laugh at them.1
