No exciting new sets? No mythics?

There's a new Mythic item, and several new sets.

We used to get an appetizer (2 dungeons), main course (chapter), side (2 dungeons), and dessert (zone). Every other visit, we got a free drink with our meal (arena). The chef was gracious enough to give us a table with a great view and live entertainment (new companions, tales of tribute decks, infinite archive zones). We could tell the restaurant was doing well because it was constantly improving (group finder, bg 2.0).

This year, we got an appetizer and a main course, except 1/3 of our steak was reserved for dessert. We got a side again after being told removing it would allow the chef to experiment with fresh ideas. They're completely out of drinks, our table is by the restroom, we can't hear the live entertainment from the sound of flushing toilets.

The restaurant is really excited about new kids place mats with riddles all over them, once the entire restaurant solves them we get access to the 1/3 of our steak we already paid for. I'm not interested in riddles if there's no real reward, I'll just let everyone else solve them. Problem is, my steak is cold, dry, and I'm still hungry.

Guess I'll check back with the restaurant in 2026.

I know they said that there would be very few adjustments but I'm still genuinely shocked that the only change of relevance is adding an execute component to Whirling Blades' base skill and it's other morph.

Cool I guess, but a random one, seriously did anyone ask for that change like ever? They could have slightly increased the damage of some of the skills that get literally zero usage in Subclassing for the same amount of effort and it would have actually been meaningful. If you wanted to adjust an execute skill you could have buffed Mages' Fury for example which is totally garbage.

I said "exciting" new sets. Well... I guess that's relative

I'm pretty excited for the Shared Burden set. That's an idea I've pitched before and it's actually being added to the game!

And naturally I'm going to be getting that Huntsman's Warmask Mythic, regardless of whether it's all that useful in PvP or PvE.

If you’re disappointed then don’t check the devs teams recent post on Reddit.

I understand... times are tough. But as a long-time player, it's genuinely disheartening to see patch notes this sparse. It feels like waking up on Christmas morning, tearing into Santa's gift, and finding only socks inside. And the thought that this is what's meant to carry us through the entire holiday season makes it even harder to swallow.

Really? No exciting new sets? No mythics? Not even a small treat to tide us over?

Socks that are the wrong size even though you’d previously told them what size you are.

I knew they said "light on combat changes" (which itself is certainly a choice), but even I was expecting more Class line changes than two (2) bugfixes, one of which is visual.

I really want to know: does the Combat team really think that balance is in a good enough place that they can afford to let it stay as-is until March? Do they honestly think that a 'test' (which is clearly no longer a test to make Cyrodiil more performant and instead is going to be a new mode which will definitely replace one or more Cyro campaigns) that we have active for a single week every three months is more important than how the game feels year-round?



I also want to point out that we actually didn't get any major "new" thing this entire year. No new skill lines, no new Grimoires, no new Class... the biggest thing was "hey, just put skills from one Class onto another!" Even the zone of Solstice is a lot of reused themes between Argonian, Altmer, and Coldharbour, so besides some furniture pieces there's really not much brand new there.

There's only so long players can keep hearing "we have new stuff, but for right now it's just reheated leftovers" before they walk. ZOS needs to start showing their hand, because if this is the pace we're going to see in the future... That's not going to go well.
I know they're making the new Heart's Day event an annual thing, but that won't mean much if the game is shut down before 2027 due to lack of players...

Also, I really have to point out that I grew up with military speak, so when I hear "we're transitioning," I definitely read that in one way: "we're transitioning from open to closed."

@ZOS_Kevin If they need more time for subclassing fixes, atleast hit the main simple painpoints that are common sense and easy changes. Most of these are simple integer balances that'd take less than a day.

• impen is still about half of what it should be....... make it 264(4%) or 330(5%) so it is inline with modern crit damage builds
• Healing soul should be a single target aimed not a smart cast massive aoe
• Healing soul should not have major vitality and should have minor vitality
• Warden charm simply should not be a class script. Throw it on the unused green balance ult as a group support toolkit. Make the warden class script a heal or cleanse or something else.
• Assassination's merciless and relentless tooltip is way too much. These should tooltip the same as other timed or delayed skills like deep fissure or blastbones as 1.6x scaling skills instead of the merciless 2.15x scaling.......Note dawnbreaker is 1.6x scaling and on a 30s+ ult gen cooldown whereas merciless is every 5s for 2.15x
