VR Difficulty change?

✭✭✭Im Trapped in a ship trying to kill Vicereeve Pelidil (Vr8) and i can barely take him to 70% after deploying everything, ultimate included.
This is absurd, cant advance nor do anything but sit and wait for the fix.
Are you able to join a Cyrodiil campaign? That would at least remove you from the ship and you can then a take a wayshrine back to whatever PVE zone you wish.1 -

They do. And they're hiring to boot.kirnmalidus wrote: »You are assuming they have a QA team. At this point, I'm not sure they do.
I believe the issue that happened was that they didn't think it had to be tested. They had assumed that when they told the coder to increase the mob's VP, the coder would just increase the VP. Instead, it appears the coder did a too-free replace that resulted in an unintended boost to everything else.kirnmalidus wrote: »Except that there shouldn't be any updates that don't get tested.
My armchair guess is that VP / exp is linked to the mob's strength. ie, if it gives 100VP, it must be a level V10 (or whatever) mob, so adjust the HP and damage output accordingly. And then bumped up the VP without traversing the linked code to verify it didn't auto-scale.
Again, just a wild-azz guess...0 -

This isn't from a boss but just standard enemies. I mean really? I don't even have an attack that can do that kind of damage. 1048 damage on a single attack? This isn't a boss!
To be fair, thats his AoE attack. So you were standing in it, next time dont.1 -

It wouldn't have made any difference. In that situation I could not dodge it. Walls to my sides and enemies blocked any means of escape. I posted an image that showed no AoE attacks and I still died in a few seconds. The fix can't come soon enough.Edited by KhajiitiLizard on May 23, 2014 8:32PM0 -

“Attention Zenimax: Stamina builds don't hold up to magicka builds, and this is causing most of your class imbalance. It makes melee weapons and bows weaker than staves and class abilities. It makes medium and heavy armor less desirable than light armor. Fix this imbalance, and you'll address most of your balance issues.”

thanks for the update, but as a professional company, you guys really should have better QA team or process in place to test a patch prior going live.

Fshober28b14_ESO✭✭✭Yup, there was a big damage increase(and whatever else they did) and now even as a V10 in full legendary owned by things that were at level just the right difficulty level solo. I can't even take 2 normal mobs in Bangkorai without getting owned.

I will now revert back to my other self, the one that isn't constantly nerd raging about this subject. Still not happy(about the game, otherwise I'm friggin extatic today as it's nice out and I got my grades back and they were good). These kinds of mistakes kill games.
Relax Cory. It'll be alright.0 -

Thanks for the reply. Guess I'll wait until the hotfix to finish my quests in the vr9-10 zones.

ChemSoul ShrivenPLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEAASSSE do NOT revert the changes. Why should we be able to kill 3-4 groups? VR is the way it SHOULD be NOW! Keep the challenge. People can still solo. Don't let this game get as easy as WoW became.3

Ouch. My favorite part of that screenshot are the hints. To paraphrase:
- Use block and L2P!
- In case you didn't know, pots help. L2P!
- BTW, your death just cost you gold in repairs #ForTheLulz

No it was not.
Just logged in, VR8 Kagoutis have 5.8k HP, yesterday they had a touch over 4k. Their heavy attacks also hit for ~300 hp through blocking, normal attacks for 150 through blocking.
I can kill a single one, but a pack of two completely destroys me.
Try again.
Ciao, Muh!

Gremmore✭Well that was not the evening i planned; I also didn't notice the change sofar, perhaps game needs a restart? Sofar i used about 40 shards today and 40 potions on V6/7 I mean common!! Normally pots are just for V-Dungeons and most of them are now ways to gain shards.... now as many other mentioned running into 2 mobs can be deadly... Specially if one of them has a Bow! My new nightmare mob now as Templar...
Hope it's fixed fast, saw 2 ppl in guild raging out before they logged off for today and i must admit i felt the same! Only those who were in new content as team of 4 were having time of their lives and are almost lvl 11 with mostly purple rewards... While alll inbetween V2-10 are F@cked!! Nice Patch there!! only favouring the ppl that will never be happy for long...
hopefully tomorrow will bring some joy back to the game0 -
thebigMuh✭✭I would be thoroughly amazed if the Hero engine supported changing the stats of persistent, spawned entities on the fly. I guess the changed values only apply to newly spawned instances, not to the ones already around.
They should give the servers a reboot...

Chirru✭✭✭✭As of 9PM EDT on 5/23, we have completed a hotfix on both megaservers that reverted the difficulty of Veteran Rank content (50+ and 50++) to what it was prior to patch 1.1.2. Thank you for your patience as we fixed the issue.1 -

Is black winter the force choke?
NPC ability names are foreign to me with no combat log detailing or anything.
Because if it is, youre supposed to cc break that.
I believe black winter is the cone frontal attack that comes at you with the hands animation. I have not fought a harvester yet so I could be totally wrong.
That one hits like a girl. The choke is what hits like a truck.0 -

I'm still taking hits with 1500+ damage from VR5 trash mobs (skeletal archers to be precise), notice that I'm past softcap on armor and spell resistance (1900+ and 2000+ respectively)
I still can't beat a trash healer anymore as they heal a lot over my output dps and I can't interrupt them because stamina poll got dry pretty fast trying to tank other stuff and the nerfs on bash.
When they say:

I could not do other thing than completely disagree, it's NOT what it was prior to patch 1.1.2, period.0 -
Worstluck✭✭✭✭✭Yeah I am not 100% they fixed everything, but whatever. I went into a solo dungeon, one that I did with ease a few days ago, and the boss murdered me, over and over again, just had insane HP. My gear was actually better than before and I used the same skills. I did finish a quest that I could not do last night, so some of it is back to normal.Worstluck - Breton Nightblade "Some of us refused to bow.

captain_awesome✭✭✭Time for some capslock action.
STILL NOT FIXED
Stealth attack barely scratches the mobs now, before this patch it was almost a one bomb then a melee to kill the 2 other mobs. Now its a desperate fight to kill 3 mobs, there is no margin for error, and even if you play like Jack Bauer, you can still get owned.
So yeah, it's not true when you say its reverted. Strange of you to say that when it's clearly not the case.
Please explain!Edited by captain_awesome on May 24, 2014 3:53AMDominion FTW.0
