After many years of disappointing pts cycles and unheard feedback, you've managed to make a fantastic PTS cycle that had a great amount of communication and you addressed many points of feedback.

It's not at all perfect by any means, there's still some issues i'm seeing, particularly with how healers and tanks feel about DK, but overall, this is leaps and bounds better than anything we've ever recieved. I'm very pleased with the effort and i'm very pleased with how DK and the Two Handed weapons now feel. as someone who almost exclusively plays warden, i keep logging in every day to play with the new molten whip because it's animation, sound effects and new gameplay (being buffed by all dk skills!) just feels so right.

I am very excited for Warden's upcoming class refresh. Well done! I mean it!

I get players frustration with needing to wait a long time for other things to be done, but compared to what we've seen in the past, i'd much rather wait a long time for this level of focus and effort than get half-baked bandaids.

Right, this rework has incredible quality.
You can tell a lot went into it.

Maybe I'm biased towards the unaddressed issues I care about, but I wouldn't call it fantastic. A fantastic improvement from where we were to be sure, but after so many horrible PTS cycles finally having one that's alright/decent doesn't make it better than it is.
Still, I'm actually excited for an upcoming patch and that hasn't happened in years. It was always something that would make me excited inspite of the upcoming patch that would keep me playing. But let's not kid ourselves, getting excited for an update should be normal. It is in other games.

I'm looking forward to playing DK next patch and that's a huge win.
Just please don't butcher your own lore in the process, ZOS, I beg you.

They can certainly do even better with the next patch.

I would really like to echo this sentiment as this is the first time in years that I've felt the leadership team has listened and responded to the community instead of steam rolling their desires in spite of legitimate issues that had been well-articulated by the community.

Yes I agree. I have my grievances with a few things, I think most players do, but this was a HUGE step in the right direction and is what brought me back to the game and subbing to ESO+ having having uninstalled and cancelled my membership last year.

Im happily surprised they heard out the molten whip outcry and didnt leave it buried for the sake of PvE and made a separate buff specifically for players. I did a lot of complaining about the WD change and now whip has a solid buff to damage that will keep it competitive in the new meta based off of damage done instead, its not perfect but its good for sure.

Can't ask more than that except I hope this sort of thing continues. It bodes well for future class refreshes.
