Is anyone else getting a weird swishing sound when you go to a crafting table and leave one? Annoying sound when doing lots of daily writs.

It's really good. It reeled in high end damage to lower the ceiling, and buffed the low end to raise the floor. accessibility.

That is not even close to the truth. Yes high end dropped but the floor did as well.

my fishing experience is still the same... so what's everyone worries about

Yeah , i'm happy they did not touch the real hard content , otherwise we had to join these DPS drama queens as well ... oh the horror!

very crashy today, don't even have to be doing anything and the game vomits up the 'stopped working' dialogue or simply freezes and does the ctd drill.

not impressed with the damage changes, either.

lowered the ceiling and then burned the floor away.

Bad. I miss my jabs.

I don't use combat dummies or anything, so I can only say how combat in overland feels after the changes.

My bow/bow warden: didn't notice much of a difference. Takes about the same amount of time to kill mobs. Maybe a tad longer, but not enough to get excited about.

My stamina templar: Same. I play 100% in first person but switched to third to check out the new jabs animation everyone is complaining about. Didn't really see a problem with it, but as I said, I don't play in third person.

I'll try my frost warden later.

It didn't feel that my DPS had increased in any way. It's the same or a tad lower.

Is appears that the 3s/9s change to shalks didn't go through. Mine are still firing at 3s/3s and the tooltip says the same. I use Subterranean Assault. I'm glad they decided to ditch the change.

Since 6 out of my 12 characters are Templars, I was nervous logging in today - so here is my experience having played a couple of hours:

First, I happen to be one of the lucky players who don't mind the new Jabs animation, thankfully! Secondly, while single target damage is down, the increased area effect dmg on Biting Jabs meant groups of mobs were dying faster then ever, and it felt smooth. Thirdly, every tick on a Lightning Staff is increased by Empower, not just the final, so Lightning Staff dmg saw an increase in output according to my tests. Finally, I divide my time between PvP and Solo PvE so I will have to let high end raiders comment on that aspect.

My Personal Take: Doomsday Diverted (hopefully indefinitely)!

My magden lost about 30% dps if you take away the added buffs to the dummy. Really depressing

Yeah, it's a horror show out there for Wardens.

Can safely put the class on the shelf for the next 6-12 months because they won't get around to fixing them before then.

Warden is my PvP main as well and maybe I'll check back in 2023 if it can be used again.

In short, I hate this patch even more than I thought I would. The damage nerf is horrible. Sorcerer feels horrible to play with how essential it is now needing to micromanage Daedric Prey. None of the timings on anything line up properly so any rotation is a chore. I still hate needing to double bar pets but any build without them is 100x worse than with them so back to the Daedric prey [snip]. Frankly, I want to quit.

First impressions are pretty bad, and that's being kind. I just hope I can still compete due to everyone else being downgraded equally hard.

[edited to remove quote]

At the point of leaving and cancelling guilds and guildies have quit in droves.. i htink some of it is knee jerk reaction [snip]

all we ask for is fixes for bugs and we get a card game.. *** for the past 2 months warden shalks dont even hit the boss on last trial.. how do we allow this.. as i type this and the more i think about it .. im done giving this company my time and money

good luck everyone

Another Monday at the airport. But we all know those planes will be arriving back at the gates soon again.

People left already week 1. Game will be hit hard in two weeks after people realize that dots have new timers <those that stare at walls rather than patch notes>, and they lost so much dmg.

People will leave once they realize that they spent MANY hours in VMA getting that nice destro staff.
And. It. Doesn't. Even. Work. Anymore.

Oh, sweet summer child
Many of us took a break after completing VMA hundreds of times to get a minor version of its weapons, that was pre-Skyrim?

This is another good chance to say "see ya later"

The vMA buff is supposed to be fixed in the week of September 4th patch at least. So we only have to live with that oversight for a couple weeks. Doesn't make the rest of this horrible patch any better though.

My DPS is down 20-25%

And I was never a top DPSer. I was at best "adequate" at 55k burst 45k sustained, now 45/35.

I seriously don't know if I even have the energy to redo everything from scratch to try to get even 10% of that back or not. This is so tiring!!

(Edit) I'd also like to mention that I am somewhat of a Whale in this game. I like collecting houses, mounts and pets and this update is seriously jeopardizing my spending any more money on this game!
