Wings animation not working at all
Flame lash change is so bad no one ask for
Off balance change is so bad no one ask for

My pain point the change of off balance and flame lash (power lash) just made the skill so bad and dead
This just destoryed the skill it was cool for pvp and pve

Please reverse flame lash back and the off balance works on stun and immobilized target as exactly same as live version.

I dont see this improve i see it as hug bad nerf.

If this changes goes live Dk just dead meat

I noticed the wing animation isn't working

Avran_Sylt · January 12

Take Flight's Dragon Wings don't seem to be aligned properly, seems like they've been rotated 90degrees to the left, resulting in them being vertical and to the side of the character.

ZOS_JessicaFolsom · January 12

Hi all! The team is aware of the wing misalignment issues for certain refreshed Dragonknight abilities and is actively working on a fix. Thanks for the reports!

Will there be a feedback post for skill feedback @ZOS_Kevin

Freelancer_ESO · January 12

When silenced, Dragonfire Breath does not appear to apply the DOT portion of the ability.

It appears that neither the stamina restore nor the Off Balance of the passive Mountain Giant is working.

Heart of Flame displays a damage number for hitting an enemy but, does not actually damage them unless the enemy has taken damage from you in another way. So, if Heart of Flame gets a flame damage proc it does damage if it doesn't it will not do damage until you do something else that damages the target despite displaying a damage number.

Edit: It appears to be working now, I was pretty sure I'd slotted a heart ability but maybe I didn't.

I hope it’s a bug the dk heart on its head for coag, please no say it’s a bug AND I’m so so disappointed they clipped the spikes off dk and made it look like a stupid back pack please please go back to the first look of dk spikes I can’t express how sad that is for me as a dk main I pleat it because I love the visuals and that’s ruined it for me

xAlucardx92 · January 12

the animation from Dragon Blood and his Morph are bugged, the heart should not be placed above the head.

MXVIIDREAM · January 12

Please change this back to the original spikes there’s so many comments about this

Waillyam23 · January 12

The description of the new version of Ardent Flame ultimate is wrong in french and german (i don't speak the other languages so hard to say if it is limited to those two).

The literal translation would be:
Call down a battle standard, who deals 15 seconds every 375 during 12% to ennemies and inflicts them with Major Defile, reducing heals and shields received by 425.
Standing in the area increases your damage done and reduces damage taken by 13%.
An ally near the standard can activate the Shackle synergy, dealing 6950 Flame Damage to enemies in the area and immobilizing them for 5 seconds.

I saw similar issues for most of the reworked skills, is this something that the translation teams are aware of and intend to work on ?"

I wondered if that was a bug. Even, then, the visual does not remain; it disappears after activation. I like the old OG version better.

MXVIIDREAM · 7:08AM

I feel like the dragon blood thing has to be a bug it’s like having one of those group icons forced above your head is there any comments on this so far ?

Hi All, just wanted to follow up here. The heart appearing above your head for Dragon Blood and its morphs is not a bug, but the team sees the feedback posted here and is assessing possible updates to the visuals. Thanks for the continued feedback.

Thanks for the clarification, Kevin! Really appreciate the team taking the time to read the feedback and consider updates. From the community’s perspective, putting the heart either inside the character or removing it entirely, while keeping all the extra visual effects that make the class feel powerful, would go a long way toward keeping Dragonknights iconic and letting players fully enjoy the new animations for years to come

Thank you for calling this out. The team is working on a fix for this.

Corrosive Armor's ground effect is a plane that follows the character, and end up affected by kinematics. As such, any uneven terrain makes it look like a bright orange disc jumping around as the character moves.

I'm pretty sure some skills can allow effects to conform to the ground, and this should be one of them.

(Incidentally, is "Corrosive Armor" really the best name anymore, with the loss of poison? Wouldn't "Melting" be more appropriate?)
(Also, please change the green icon to red to match better with the visuals)

Thank you Kevin. The team's work on the new animations and effects is good, but that heart visual is pretty distracting and does not seem popular with anyone. In contrast, the x-ray effect on the character's chest is pretty well-liked. It may be better if the heart was removed completely and the x-ray effect was allowed to linger for the duration of the skill.

FWIW, I kinda like it.

Please just remove the heart. The rest of the animation looks fine, but the heart above the head ruins everything....

Yes this is the view on the heart for 99% of us considering we all thought it was a big and was supposed to be in the toon obviously pretty bad but they’re aware of it it’s too distracting can’t speak for anyone else with adhd but for me personally it was so visually disruptive I kept staring at it for a second very immersion breaking

Emeratis · 10:29PM

I'm waiting to type up my longer feedback while I gather my notes, but I also want to say I kinda like the heart and so do a lot of my friends on discord who don't have forum accounts but understand why some people might not. One of my favorite parts of Dragon Blood's old morph was the beating heart effect (both visually and sound wise).

If the heart hover is removed, can we have the new animation look a bit more like a blend of the old one? Or maybe can the heart be moved from above the character to slightly in front of the chest might work a bit more visually? Within like the old one would be nice too but I worry given the coloring of the aura and the heart it will be hard to see it visually.

Also yes, please make the duration of the effects longer no matter what fix you make to it.
