I get the impression that if they're already advertising the changes literally everyone on this forum hates (and thinks are stupid) then it's a good chance they are permanent?

    Who changes? do not see anything new.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I'm also happy with the changes that this link talks about. When you said that everyone here hates them, I thought you were talking about the lootbox-exclusive sea elf motif.

    Its not loot-box exclusive any more, you'll be able to get it through fishing, which I'm stoked about.

    i have seen nothing so far that was bad.
    what changes are you pointing out that like you said, and ill quote:

    "changes literally everyone on this forum hates and thinks are stupid"

    where and what are those changes?

    the only thing that bothered me was what seems like a really uncomfortable long drawn out grind in the sijik skill line, but after realizing most the other skill lines are also kinda similar i feel not as upset.

    You are using the word "literally" incorrectly.

    Wow! I wasn't expecting that development! I guess I should stop destroying all my bait for inventory space.

    It's funny because I've barely seen anyone complain about these changes (OP is the first one I've seen). Most people are elated that 2-handers are going to count as 2 set pieces and that we're getting more class diversity. You have people complaining that their class has been neglected, and that other weapon types need a buff, but almost nobody is complaining about the actual changes (because they're objectively great).

    Can't wait to see who gets the first ban from trading gifts for in-game gold. Can't. Wait.

    (Unless it's 100% allowed, in which case the forums will literally form a black hole beneath the weight of all the "p2w" complaint threads).

    Hi everyone,

    We appreciate everyone’s continued feedback and thoughts on this topic, and understand the concerns you have. As such, we will add the ability to obtain the Pyandonean Motif Chapters through fishing, as well as in the Psijic Vault Crown Crate. As the Maormer are also known as the Sea Elves, it’s fitting that you’ll find these Motif Chapters while fishing in and around Summerset Isle. The plan is to implement this change in the next week or two on the PTS, so it will be in-game when Update 18 launches and the Pisjic Vault Crown Crates become available to those who pre-purchased the Summerset Chapter.

    Thanks again for taking the time to let us know your thoughts, everyone, and we’re excited to have you try out the in-game component on the PTS very soon.

    Holy damn, that is awesome! Fishing now seems better. They definitely need to include more of these.

    I do think the Log-In rewards system is a bad idea, one that punishes us for having the audacity to miss logging in just one day in a month. I don't hate it, though. Just don't much care for it, either.

    Everything else in the article seems pretty fine to me.

    So what's this "literally everyone" nonsense?

    Dude, it is five times the size of what we have on live. It’s an eyesore and a nuisance.

    It won’t penalize you for missing one day a month. There’s only certain number of rewards each month and it’s less than the number of days in the month, so you can miss some number of days and still get all the rewards.

    I'd like to add that in addition to this, missing out on free stuff is hardly "being penalized." That is the most pessimistic take possible on Log-In Rewards. The alternative is the situation we have right now, where you get nothing at all from logging in. By that logic, are we being penalized now?

    They're literally giving stuff away for free and I've seen people here and on Reddit up in arms about it.

    It's only a penalty if you consider something like missing a day of Crafting writs or Riding lessons a "penalty". Or a day's worth of Undaunted Pledges. Or not refilling your 30 guild trader slots. You know, reasons to log in every day and at least piddle around a bit. In this case it's even better in that no effort is required on your part.

    Look at it this way; you're given free stuff when you log in. Full stop. You weren't before. And if you don't log in, you're no worse off than you are right now. The "pressure" is all of your own manufacture. If you miss out (and again, they allow you to miss days) there's always tomorrow.

    Daily rewards - tbh each time in any game devs were doing this it felt like "please, login, we are begging you!"
    CS gifting - I couldn't care any less for it
    Combat changes - like 2-H weapons maybe finally being a viable choice in Cyrodiil. Skill changes happen every patch so can't see any problem here too.

    Don’t care about size, an add is an add, both need to be clicked away, whether one is big and the other not is irrelevant to me really...

    But, would like them gone, but is a small nuisance really...

    No. I want them to put it into something that won't make me bored out of my skull.
