Good luck to them both, and looking forward to Brian's work as Lead

I wish him well in his endeavours! And may the new team find great success, too,

It really do be like that sometimes.

Good luck Brian, sad to see Wrobel leave, he was amazing for this game as is the rest of the team.

Sad to see ERic go! Hopefully Wheeler can bring something to the pvp side of things and keep cyrodiil alive.

Ave Wheeler. I hope this year brings even larger horns to the Wood elf race. We need a headbutt skill for the Wood elf race yoo.

Thanks for letting us know
And good luck to both Wrobel & Wheeler

Good luck to all.

With this recent change, are the upcoming racial passives going to be reviewed in depth?

What's most concerning is some of the changes made that remove the effectiveness of some of the most icon TES racial builds:

Removing bonus damage to fire removes the heart from the Dunmer. For ESO specifically, this combined with the lower of max stat has effectively hamstrung Dunmer Firemages and Dumner MagDKs, leaving Altmer as the much more effective choice.

Removing bonus to sneak and damage from stealth from the Bosmer remove one of their most iconic abilities as stealthy little forest elves. And to make it worse for them these are replaced with a bonus to speed after a dodge roll which is redundant as most use a bow anyways which already has that ability. Edit: And which was replaced with bonuses to detection, which is only useful to PvP and worthless in all other aspects of the game; most would argue its worthless in PvP as well. Please at the very least switch this back to straight up stealth.

These are just the two most obvious hits to classic TES identity to races, but they're the most important as these two races appear to be left behind in the dust compared to how the other races are weathering the changes.

Glad to see Brian getting a more influential role. Excited for his plans for the game!

So... who's going to be the new PvP lead? Or will Wheeler be wearing two hats?

While I don't know who these people are and they definitely don't know who I am, I do wish them both the best of luck and hope all goes well for them.

Yes. I wish Wrobel well. Hopefully this is what he wanted. He had a tough and often thankless job. I bet he has a skin of plate steel by now. It will serve him well. I know from personal experience how mean the game playing mob can be. I think I might have even grabbed a pitchfork myself once or twice.

I think the hurricane should be renamed Wrobel's Gift or something like that.
