I am very disappointed that there is many less of frost,Lightning, bleed,disease and poison effect to created as example, the soul skills it contains Lightning and non of these effects which give me less options of what I really wanna make, if I want a frost soul ability it should have it like same way that soul Lightning is there so it don't make sense how all the effects is not there, it feel incomplete.

✭✭Have you found the scripts that give you those effects, or it just not letting you use the combinations you want? you get bugger all to truly tinker with IMO despite doing the full scribing quest line, only just now starting to get the options I want to make use of from dailies reward boxes from delves/dolmens/world bosses dailies.
Still got a long way to go before I unlock what I want to use, holding on to the ink until then. If I have to hunt down all the scrips/affixs etc again on alts I don't see myself bothering with scribing on my other characters way too much of a grind especially when they have been making so much account wide the last few years feels like the whole thing has been poorly implemented to me.0 -

I don't have access to scribing because is not on xbox but I check on the site https://alcasthq.com/eso-scribing-guide/ and example the Torchbearer Skill don't have diseased,poison and more, like how can I build a entire disease or poison build with all those abilities if scribing don't often all the elements and non elements to all the scribing skill if that make sense, it feel incomplete.1 -

That my issue limited, I was expecting all of the elements and non elements be adding to all the scribing skills but is not so still incomplete and I won't spend money on a incomplete dlc where is limited and necromancer nerf.0 -
yadibroz✭✭✭If I wanna spend $40 for the dlc, I don't care about story, just scribing and I expect more from 10 years old game not limited and should be added to all characters not just one and have less grinding but is the opposite which what made the game perfect, yay I believe they reach the level of where zos is the best company ever, so we should just thank them for being the greatest ever who love to sell incomplete products.1

Gonna be one of those things they update with each chapter I reckon but it'll take forever if they do it like that. IMO it needs a hotfix update that releases 10-20 more skills that don't lock you into using a weapon. It sucks some are locked behind a weapon. A lot of the abilities feel weak too and I think scribing is more for utility (tanks/healing) than doing serious damage. Which is a shame.1 -

Taken from this article which is a breakdown of the recent AMA from Zenimax; https://massivelyop.com/2024/05/31/elder-scrolls-onlines-ama-addresses-everything-from-ddos-attacks-and-scribing-to-bifurcated-content-difficulty/ :“Our focus with Scribing was to try and help more players gain access to more skills that felt like their own abilities, rather than trying to upend the existing meta of the game. Largely the system aims at helping builds gain access to abilities to plug holes in their kit or access to more diversity with personalized damage types, healing, etc to help you make your own build without the same restrictions as your class abilities may place you in. This also reinforces another large pillar the system was designed for, which is role play. Before if you wanted to lean into a specific vision or goal with your character, you needed to make a lot of choices early on that gave access to abilities to fit into that vision – with Scribing we wanted to help improve the flexibility of access to abilities you can make and use the way you want.”
This and everything else I read about Scribing pre-release pretty much was reinforced from what I saw, it's not supposed to be OP or replace anything in the "meta". It's all about fun and flexibility. I never expected them to release anything that would be so game-breaking or OP as to be "necessary" to be meta; and I fully support this. It's probably why Shield Throw can't have Breach so it doesn't replace puncture.Antiquities Addict3
