    Wait, @Alcast, did they actually change Leash to do that, or did my suggestion accidentally get into your notes as a change?

    Regarding the interview with Matt Firor: BAM ! ESO IS canon, deal with it :) No more stupid excuses by soulhurt Skyrim fanboys. ESO is canon and official, silence.

    And one question regarding the 2handed changes. Can anyone say, how it's going to be with Asylum weapons etc ? Will they be buffed in some way ? Overall I feel like there are changes that have the potential to be good, but end up being completely useless for myself. Including all Sorcerer changes and 2h changes. I don't know, feels pretty empty here.

    I used Asylum/Maelstrom/Master weapons in some builds and it seemed pretty consistent with other combos. I am sure some balance tweaks will still be needed, but overall, you really just given more choices now.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    So have they added spell damage or something like that to these weapons ?

    You get the click bait award tho :smirk:

    I said NDA safe, what did you expect? :wink:

    However I wish I could tell you why it's going to be great. Tuesday.

    Flying mounts confirmed.
    Flying mounts has been in the game since Orsinium, I think most who has done the zone has experienced it
    its pretty annoying.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Id say its gonna go back to a 2 stam classes in a trial setting. Stamplar for power of the light running War machine, and a stamblade running war machine. Than u can have maybe one mag class running Architect. That would be my guess at least. Yeah deadly cloak is getting a dmg nerf but the skill is more so for the dmg reduction it provides.

    If Nestor thinks it is going to be great, that is enough for me. We have similar tastes and outlooks, so if he likes it, I already know I will. I’m glad I preordered the physical edition now.

    See, I am really curious about this NDA.

    We know there's a zone - Summerset
    We know there's another possible zone - Artaeum
    We know there's jewellery crafting
    We know there's a trial.

    They likely won't spoil the story. The most we will probably get is a bit of info about the new skills and jewellery.

    We were prohibited from talking about anything game related until about an hour ago.

    We're prohibited from discussing the story, and specific mechanics of encounters (or specific mechanics of boss encounters in Cloudrest. I really don't want to find out I've got that one backwards the hard way), until after launch.

    We also can't disclose stuff we don't know, so I can't speak to the lore, because I spent the vast majority of my time wandering the island killing anything that looked at me funny and testing various systems.

    I'm assuming the map looks like this because they haven't made the one that looks more hand-drawn yet?

    Interesting that the things around the island look like they are from different things - It's interesting that Auridon looks snow-covered in this view of the map... But I'm guessing that's just an artifact of the development stuff...

    Bottom-right Island I think is artaeum - so it looks like it's going to be present in the world rather than in the aurbis like Clockwork city was - I had assumed it would be but wasnt sure...

    What's that to the left though? Eyevea? Silatar? Or somewhere new for a one-off quest visit maybe?

    Please put the Eyevea/EarthForge wayshrines back on the map?
