...and I wanted to give a heartfelt and, I think, well deserved "THANK YOU!" to EVERYONE at ZOS that worked on/ put this patch together.
We players tend to comment (complain) about all the little things we think are wrong with ESO - myself included - but this patch is a HUGE step for a new beginning for this MMO. I want you folks that make this game possible to know that we appreciate ALL of your efforts (at least I do.)
I'm chomping at the bit to get into the game and experience this new world you're delivering for us!
Thank you.

They could offer multiple skill styles for that, such as "Honey Garlic", "Ghost Pepper", etc.15 -

✭I'm concerned about it personally - I mean, the only people who've got an early look at it on the PTS and been able to give feedback are PC users, and I very much doubt they were thinking... "Hmm, will this work OK on consoles?"... As far I'm I'm aware console users didn't get an early look, and weren't able to give feedback because of it.
So, while I'm hopeful, I'm also concerned.
Such as... Why can't back bars get XP if you use Oakensoul? I don't get that personally... It's just building up skills like if you don't, it doesn't magically mean you can use that second bar when you use the ring.3 -

Well, the back bar is effectively disabled with Oakensoul. You don't gain any passive effects to any abilities slotted there, and you can't barswap at all, so why gain XP for abilities slotted there? It makes sense to me.15 -
Sambucca1973✭✭✭Thank you for a lot of welcome changes. One little one that I appreciate:Pirharri no longer takes a “Smuggler’s Fee” for fencing items.
It will help with inventory management. Still need to visit the Thieves' Dens to get the various accomplishments though.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Better later than never I guess. Most of it was requested so long ago that many people who did aren't even around. Still props to them for enhancing the game finally and hopefully one day it would re-live the "great old days" all over again somehow.5 -

Not sure how much this matters to you, but I'm a PC player that always plays with a gamepad on PTS. So at least the "console" UI is getting some feedback. E.g. this PTS cycle, there were some issues with the new Seasons UI in gamepad mode, hope those get fixed before they launch in a couple of weeks.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

How is using Oakensoul and how it affects back bar XP a Console players specific concern? It affects PC players just the same as console players.

Oakensoul basically treats the back-bar as if you haven't unlocked it until reaching Level 15.PC-EU @maitsukas
Posting the Infinite Archive and Imperial City Weekly Vendor updates.
Also trying out new Main Quests, Companions, ToT decks, Events and Styles on PTS.2 -

So, console and pc gamepad ui are slightly different so while testing on gamepad does help, there still can be bugs or errors not caught relating to console.2 -

I think there are a lot more people (including PvPers) that think this is a bad change to the game.
You have a lot of players that run IC while waiting in queue to get into Cyro.
The "risk/reward" argument doesn't really apply. Most PvPers that camp for kills already have enough TelVar. Most are gankers that get their own little egos boosted by thinking they are great PvP players because they can stealth gank and get kills. If you wanted risk/reward, then you wouldn't stealth gank and camp quest spots, ladders, and the base door.
While reading through all the threads about this, I see a lot more people that find the porting restricting to be a bad change than the few that defend it.7 -

✭Forgot they went through and made the stupidest decision for molten armaments. Is there a chance they will revert this, @ZOS_Kevin? There's a reason a lot of us use two different styles, it makes it easier to tell which bar we are on. This change completely ruins it. I don't want to use a different skill but you're forcing me to.0 -

Ghost Pepper should be a necro skill instead lol.5 -
Everything is working okay so far... Trade Bar conversion done... but now that I'm in there is one burning question: skill & attribute respec is now free and in-menu. But CP respec still costs 3000g. I find that odd.3 -
