Alcast and Worley and Xynode are just 3 of the theory crafters here parsing all the new stuff and devs are standing behind then watching and getting feedback. There are others but I did not ask them for permission to post their names. Anyway, all of them are trying out as many combos as they can and the devs are watching each parse. I can't say anymore about the details of what is coming from the testing. I will let them talk about it on Tuesday.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Thanks for the info. Sounds pretty PVE-centric.
I guess it is too much to hope for significant PVP-improvement news to come out of this. After all, Cyrodiil isn't "new content". Still looking forward to next week though.7-day PVP campaign regular 2016-2019, Flawless Conqueror. MagDK/stamplar/stamwarden/mageblade. Requiem, Legend, Knights of Daggerfall.

Ah, okay. I would consider those guys "min-maxers". They theory craft to get optimal results.Edited by MLGProPlayer on March 30, 2018 2:54AM15 -

Sigma957✭✭✭✭✭Wish I was there, I'd give up a weeks worth of work to take the plane trip@Nestor when you say there are no min-maxers there, can you elaborate on what you mean by that? Arguably, many balance issues only matter when one is trying to min-max (that's true in PVE and even more so in PVP), so it sounds a little like you're saying that no one is there representing the set of players for whom balance changes will have the most actual impact. That's a little concerning.
Gillian is there as well, he said in a video on his youtude channel.Edited by Sigma957 on March 30, 2018 6:02AM3 -

Khajiit has not flown anywhere no. No winged mount travel for this one.
However this one also might have an article handy for the Tuesday. Probably to be published on the guild website as there was nowhere else this one could think to put it. Too long for here yes!

✭Also, I will add we have had devs talking to us and listening to us all day long. And they are taking pages of notes from our feeback on both new content and base game systems. They really do care.
They are listening now when its late. Also listening wont fix lag and performance issues...1 -

Well they "listened" to all the feedback they got for Morrowind.
They just didn't "hear"any of it, or do anything with it.
"Listening" isn't enough - hearing and doing are what count.

Kidding, I'd be very surprised if those things came up.
I'd be more surprised if they didn't. MMO programming isn't dissimilar to large corporations. I'm quite sure there are several teams which work on specifics within the game, and discuss performance and change issues.
Given the patch releases, they may not have defined sprint cycles, but I can bet they do have deadlines, and in order for patches to work, code reviews would be necessary.
Looking forward to Summerset. Or rather, Razum-dar and jewelry crafting.
Still not sure how I feel about the Crystal Tower.
Edit: looks like ZoS added another filter. "Crystal" wasn't my original word.

??? It says no such thing:Alinor
A forbidden city for nearly fifty years, Alinor is both capital of the Summerset Isles and the heart of the Aldmeri Dominion. Human traders were only allowed at its ports, and they described the city as "made from glass or insect wings." Less fantastic accounts come from the Imperial emissaries of the Reman Dynasty, which describe the city as straight and glimmering, "a hypnotic swirl of ramparts and impossibly high towers, designed to catch the light of the sun and break it to its component colors, which lies draped across its stones until you are thankful for nightfall."
But take it to the apropriate thread.

Yes, they should be. "Should" being the operative word here, but that ship has sailed long ago.5 -

You get the click bait award tho
I said NDA safe, what did you expect?
However I wish I could tell you why it's going to be great. Tuesday.
I dare you to break nda ...don’t tho I’m just joking
I have a serious question no one in here will ask.
-How nice are the bathrooms?
-Do they have a cafe?
-what’s the food menu?
-Do they have ergonomic desks and chairs?
-Eyestrain monitors?
-Casual dress code?
Typical office building bathrooms.
They have cafe.
Decent menu, good coffee
Nice work spaces, multi monitor displays, lots of gaming swag all over the place, even for other games.
Very casual dress code.
I am currently in Wroebels car on the way out to dinner.

To me, a min maxers is the one who looks for only the optimal build and ignores all other ways to play. The folks that are here are the ones who figure out how to make different combos work to be efficient. It's a matter of perspective more than anything else. To me the min maxers have only one way to play the game and feel that any other combo or build sucks. For example only a Redguard Stam DPS is worth rolling.
So maybe I should have said there are no myopic fanatics here Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.
