Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

What do you think will get a "last minute" change or buff/nerf this patch?

Title ^^^^

Since ZOS is never capable of posting patch notes during maintenance to give us something to read and prepare for, I wonder what you folks are currently speculating and/or discussing with your friends, guildies, playing family members?

I'm personally so lost in ZOS direction I have a very hard time imagining what they're doing next. My only hope lies with DK now, and that stonefist gets a proper treatment requested by the community. The animation makes me wanna stick my fingers inside my eyeballs and slam the keyboard with my head.

    From the PTS:
    Stonefist: Updated the visual effects for this ability and the Stone Giant morph. As noted in last week’s PTS patch, we will continue working on this ability’s visual and gameplay elements for a future update.

    Last-minute crushing nerf or fundamental change to a single class ability. Magsorc, or maybe templar this time.

    "Backlash and its morphs can no longer crit but if reapplied less than two seconds before the ability will naturally end, will teleport the casting templar 6m backward. This provides movement options and creates an interesting choice as the templar can either allow the damage burst or go stand somewhere else."

    Nothing.

    Last time they didn't change anything besides a few bug fixes IIRC. Don't get your hopes up, otherwise you will get dissapointed most of the time.

    Im going to assume they all get paid min wage. After years youd think SOMEONE would have the bright idea that notes should go with a patch.

    Current Patch notes will be delayed a cycle to allow players to experience the changes before they are pointed out.

    They said the stonefist animation was a work in progres and they will improve it in the future I think in the live podcast, so for now that is what we have but they said they will change it or make it better.
    I hope for a little buff on dots but i know this is not going to happen and they revert that utility or knockback nerfs I mean what is that game without throwing people at the lava or down ledges, this game is nothing without that, just for the fun it is they should not nerf it.

    I dont think they make any last minute changes really. At best I think that if something that was planned is performing poorly, then i think they would scrap that change until the next cycle to work on it some more. So any last minutes changes are likely a reduction in planned changes not the addition of more changes. I dont think they actuall say, 'hey we have more time, lets add a few more changes'. That doesnt happen.
    I simply must protest. There are no Penguin avatars for me to use in the forums.

    BTW, I use arch too

    So witty, so clever... Gina (I believe it was her) explained that patch notes are not posted until thay are sure that all changes applied - that means until the end of the mainenance

    It shouldn't happen. It has happened in the past, which is why people brace for it to happen again.

    Last minute buff to the number of people playing due to new content, followed by a resumption of the six month population nerf as the combat team continues to knee-jerk buff / nerf their way to oblivion.

    That. Cant have a useful AoE so orb Needs to get the hammer.
    Politeness is respecting others.
    Courage is doing what is fair.
    Modesty is speaking of oneself without vanity.
    Self control is keeping calm even when anger rises.
    Sincerity is expressing oneself without concealing ones thoughts.
    Honor is keeping ones word.

    Healing ritual no longer an instant heal. Now pulsates every 2 seconds for 6 seconds. Each pulse is ~1/3rd the strength of the original burst heal and cost is reduced by 25%. Morph 1 adds another pulse/2 seconds increase. Morph 2 the 3rd healing pulse is a burst heal.

    It’s already been removed from all the top Dragonhold DPS builds I’ve seen. Against a single enemy the Orb damage isn’t worth the relatively high Magicka cost with the current state of sustain. I assume it will still be used on trash.

    I think it's the opposite. They're in tech so they make tons of money they're just incompetent like tech people are. Being able to code a game and being able to dress yourself aren't exclusive to each other.
