Lykeion✭✭✭✭I posted a thread asking if ZOS would be making additional balance patches in the coming PTS cycle (since the balance patch that was supposed to happen in week 3 was postponed to week 4), but so far I haven't gotten any response. So I don't think there will be another PTS patch before it goes live.3 -

✭✭Maybe they will rethink their intent regarding writing off Plaguebreak from PvE.
There are other sets I can (and do) use for trash pulls but where they might be as effective or viable none are as satisfying.
Sad to see this small island of fun disappear under the rising tide of homogeneous blandness.

✭✭✭Testing what for? They won't adjust more then they did by now, so no point in testing anymore.“Take some more tea," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.
"I've had nothing yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."
"You mean you can't take less," said the Hatter: "it's very easy to take more than nothing."
"Nobody asked your opinion," said Alice.”

They won't rethink anything, never have. Normally once you see the very first Update on PTS, you see the direction they are going. They may tweak here and there, but normally, what you see in the beginning is what you see at the end. The devs have a 'vision' for the game, which many times conflicts with the vision us players have for how WE want to play the game.CP: 1965 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****6 -

They did backtrack on adding casting time to the shields that once.

Jestir✭✭✭✭the very first line of the 9.0.4 patch notes literally says it's the last patch for this PTS2 -
bachpain✭✭✭✭I would say why? Just launch the update already and let the people who want the new class to have it. The rest of us are left out because there is nothing else in the chapter that will really be of benefit. They have clearly tuned and designed everything in this chapter around the Archanist which screams a pitiful cash grab imo to drive people to the crown store for mount speed upgrades, skyshards, and skill line skips.
At this point I almost hope they go broke. I am not getting the chapter, or continuing my sub.2 -

Considering many people have been clamoring for a new class, I don't see it as a "cash grab", because many people want it. Did you see "Tales of Tribute" also as a cash grab? Or perhaps companions? Just because you don't like certain features, doesn't mean you represent the majority of players. Furthermore, this is an MMO, it requires a constant amount of money in-flowing, so basically ANY MMO are all about 'cash grabs' because that's HOW they stay in business. If DCUO can remain active considering their fraction of a population compared to ESO, I doubt ZOS has anything to worry about in the foreseeable future. That said, they should be concerned about Diablo IV and the eventual release of Elder Scrolls VI, because if anything takes players away, it will be those two games... especially ES VI, since ESO is pretty much designed to be "Skyrim with friends" to attract the Elder Scrolls players.CP: 1965 ** ESO+ Gold Road ** ~~ Stamina Arcanist ~~ Magicka Warden ~~ Magicka Templar ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****6 -

bachpain✭✭✭✭@ADarklore I was all on board with the new class. Just not watching everything in the chapter being solely tuned to be a boon to the new class and pretty much nothing else.1

EramTheLiar✭✭✭✭The devs backtrack all the time. The problem (for us) is that they backtrack across multiple patches, not during patch testing.
Patch testing they're pretty much committed to the main design elements they're changing or introducing and they're looking to fix bugs. Any changes they make may soften a change or tweak it but only rarely will they do a 180.
The reversals are decided on and scheduled for some patch or update down the line, and they do happen. If they didn't happen everyone would still be complaining about how devs only play sorcs and how dragon knights are useless and only barely usable as tanks.1 -

be careful saying WE. If i had my way, pvp and pve would be 100% separate. gear and skills would be different for each.4
