Dear Zenimax - A Message About Shields

So, the plan is to make shields crittable and interruptable, on top of having a one-second cast time?

You could have saved yourself the trouble of all that patching and re-coding by just deleting all the shields from the game.

Simple.

    This is what happens when the people behind making changes to a game are terrible at playing the game. Go watch some vids of them trying to play, I wouldn't ever want them in my groups.
    Unless you are willing to be a mindless sycophant and/or coddle others due to their insecurities prepare to be harrased by the Orwellian enforcers on these forums. You should also try to refrain from using any words more complex than those used by a small child due to the fact that said enforcers have made it clear that their vocabulary pool is aenemic.

    I'm just trying to help ZoS.

    Why spend time doing all this work without any foresight?

    Whatever it is that they're doing right now in regards to shields, they should just stop doing it, and delete shields.

    Less work for them and it achieves the same end result.

    Don't work hard, work smart.

    People want faced paced gameplay in both pve and pvp. Its why people complainedabout having to do so many heavies for resources after sustain nerfs. Adding cast times to frequently used abilities is a great way to drive players away from wanting to use those abilities. Balancing by instituting cast times is a bad idea. It's going to make using shields feel slow and clunky which is the opposite of fun gameplay.

    What is your point?



    Mine is that writ vouchers are much easier to obtain if you do the crafting dailies on 8 toons instead of 1.

    48 chances for a writ instead of 8 and 32k gold made in about 20 minutes.

    Or save even more coding my removing sorcs altogether.
    Then back to 4 classes as before.
    Imagine the awesome things that would achieved with all that saved time :)

    i do not agree with the 1 second delay on shield casting.
    infact, if that 1 second delay on shield casting goes live then it will be a trickle down effecT.
    eventually leading to alot of very serious problems with elderscrolls online and may even be fatal for sorcerers and and up being fatal for all classes.

    It’s not all about sorcs!

    Marsha Marsha Marsha!

    Other classes and roles use the shield in pve for an oh snip button. We can’t predict bad pugs and we can’t memorize every fight in every dungeon. Geez ppl

    Ye cast time is too much.

    A better idea in my mind would be shields getting streak/roll dodge treatment so they cannot be spammed.

    Each shield increases cost of the next by %age.
    This would not apply to skills where a small shield was a secondary component of the skill cast.

    So this will also apply to healing, reflects, and cloak too yes?

    In fact, why not just do this for all skills? :3

    because that would destroy cloak for us nightblades the same way a 1 sec delay on shioeld cast will destroy sorc.
    let it go guys, stop trying to change our cloak.

    I like how you both took my post seriously and only found cloak to be what was wrong with my statement
