Honestly don't believe silver keys should drop the undaunted helm sets as many people complain about vet dungeons being too easy. Also the new vr16 templates don't have their skills leveled to be morphed.

This just gives people a reason to do the non-vet dungeons as they have a chance of dropping something useful. Silver Keys have had no reason to exist.

Bronze keys have no need to exist and vet dungeons only take 15 mins people don't want to just blow through a super easy dungeon the normal modes are in fact too easy.

Vet Dungeons are super-easy when you're v14, fully geared-up, and have had a ton of practice at playing in a group with others.

What about when you're level 45, still wearing green dropped gear, and have played most of the game solo?

Of course Bronze Keys are still needed, for people who are still learning how to play.

Xsorus · August 2015

The only way to make health recovery useful is to make it a healing stat, as in have a portion of your health recovery apply to heals you take in, so say you had 2k health recovery, whenever you take in a heal of any kind you'd receive say 25% of that health recovery, so 500 extra healed on ability. So if a hot healed for 500 Itd now heal for 1k.

You could have hots use like 25% of the health recovery value while direct heals could used 50 to 100%

This would actually make the stat useful

I started out right away with vet dungeons and got crafted gear right after that. Also no one is going to complete a normal dungeons for a bronze key, but the argument made by him is that the silver keys had no use until now. This is not the case as it was a way for new players to get some decent gear.

So is there any mention of addressing the fact that Shadow Cloak still not being "fixed"? @ZOS_GinaBruno

Will we be seeing vr16 master weapons and vr16 trial rewards with the weekly leader boards?

@Anorak,
This has already been answered (somewhere in the forums) as "No"... at least for now. The devs will be watching game balance and might change DSA and Trials scaling up to v16 if appropriate in a later tuning patch update... or not.

I was talking about the weekly leader board drops changing as you can get master weapons from pvp. I already knew about trials not scaling up but i wanted to know if the weekly trials would be worth doing.

Presence · August 2015

@xaraan To be honest I predicted they would do this, give leeching strikes the toggle instead of SA. So it didn't surprised me. However, 15 secs is not nearly enough. 30 secs minimum and it would be in good shape.

Yeah, I actually called it as well. Just disappointed that they were told in feedback the better choice and the reasoning why and still chose the wrong one. And yeah, 30 sec would be useful at least.

Stop ruining PvE content due to your inability to balance PvP.

Come on man you keep posting this 10 times per day. how about you use the time to learn how to deal with the changes instead and adapt. it's easy. really.

Oh, it's easy? So what is the point of the nerf if the nerf isn't changing the ease of tanking? It is still going to be boring and RMB spam, right?

It is in fact easy if you just try to adapt, yes. You need to a bit more focused but you'll get used to it quickly.

LMAO. If anything, the bananas will be the first to claim themselves a buff server. It's like encoded in their DNA now. Yellow has IMO, the most numereous, organized pvp guilds of all the factions (NA/server). That being said, they seem to spread out over all the campaigns and aren't as concentrated on one campaign like red and blue are(Azura's Star), but I'm sure when IC drops one of the campaigns will be the "BANANA RAMA!"

Robbmrp · August 2015

Hello @ZOS_GinaBruno, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_RichLambert, @ZOS_BrianWheeler

Would it be possible to add in the Immunity Buff below to the exits from Imperial City for each Faction going back to Cyrodil? With the immunity buff only applying within the city, people will start ganking these door spots for when people are leaving IC.

"Added a new timed immunity buff to the doors between districts, and the ladders between districts and sewers. This immunity buff lasts for 30 seconds, and will be removed upon initiating combat, stealthing, drinking a potion or sprinting."

IMO, this should apply to anyplace in Cyrodil where people are getting ganked when "zoning" in, Delves, keeps, outposts, etc. Any action that someone takes, crouching, fighting, sprinting, mounting etc would remove the Immunity buff.

Thank you all for your time.

ZOS_BrianWheeler · August 2015

I could see adding the immunity to the entrance of caves in Cyrodiil... But remember when you leave IC from your sewer, you get ported back to your Alliance base.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler Is there any chance that porting could be optional? Sometimes I would like to go to Lake Rumare and not the Border Gates.

For example, on activating the Sewer Exit, you'd see a pop-up box:

Imperial Sewers Exit
You are leaving the Imperial City. Where would you like to go?
[E] Sewer Entrance

[F] Cyrodiil Border Gate

[X] Alliance Capital

Something similar could happen on the exit of the IC dungeons:

Campaign Entry
You are entering the Alliance War. Would you like to join the Campaign Queue?
[E] Enter Home Campaign

[F] Enter Guest Campaign

[X] Go to Alliance Capital

Rhaegar75 · August 2015

@ZOS_GinaBruno have you managed to fix the bug with radiant destruction not critting?

ZOS_BrianWheeler · August 2015

That would be some new code work Eno but we can look into it.

Anxileel · August 2015

If you want to have Tanks not permablock then just reduce not remove Stamina Regen on Blocking.

Enodoc · August 2015

@ZOS_BrianWheeler That would be great, thanks! Are you also still looking into the possibility of including the Campaign Name in loading screens and the Guild/Group/Friends lists? That was the idea I proposed to ESO Live, in which you would see

Cyrodiil (Haderus)

or

Breakneck Cave (Thornblade)

so you knew both which campaign you were loading into from the loading screen, and which one your friends were in from the Guild/Group/Friends lists.

We need this! It would be really nice for the rest of my guild/friends to know, which campaign we're in without them having to ask, "Uh, what campaign?".

1.What about my question?

2. What does the new ease of tanking have to do with the nerf?

Turelus · August 2015

Added a chance to obtain the Shoulder pieces of Monster Sets to the Silver Undaunted Chest.

Sad to see this was the change rather than some the community ideas for dungeon sets (Ebony, Saviours, Wormcult) and items with stupidly rare rates like Warlock Rings.

It's better than it was but I feel it would have been nice if the silver key had its own special rewards.

IOUAT · August 2015

so they fixed the fast respawing pigs at red rock but they didnt fix the fast respawing tigers at the rift? is there a difference between the 2?

Chapmaaaan · August 2015

can you fix the Coldharbour siege weapon glitch on Xbox? the red marker doesn't show when being attacked and no animation shows when firing/being hit

Okay, keeping my clawed-toes crossed in hopes that we WON'T be getting new Argonian passives like these:

CRAFTY: "After using a crafting station, Argonians get a 10% swim boost increase for 3 seconds"

Well deserved "Awesome", man. Pretty much like most of the changes look like.

Argonian
Argonian Resistance: Increased the maximum health bonus from this passive to 2/4/6% from 1/2/3%.

Quick to Mend: Increased the bonus healing received from this passive to 3/6/9% from 2/4/6%.

Amphibious: Increased the bonus Health, Magicka and Stamina restore upon consuming a potion to 2/5/8% from 2/4/6%.

With all the recent changes to stamina regeneration while blocking mechanic, those passives actually give really interesting possibilities for Argonian Nightblade Sap Essence-Tanking builds.

Junkogen · August 2015

I don't understand what's so great about the Argonian passives that they only boost them a tiny bit. What's so great that they're scared is going to be overpowered? What do the devs see that no one else sees?

What's so great about them? Breton, Dunmer, and Altmer max magicka also increases those sap numbers because the spells hit harder. Plus, the max stats offer more utility for those that don't want to just be sap tanks.

capcody · August 2015

Working as intended. They added that in a while ago, something to do with improving those charges, at least that's what I recall. Eric talked about in one eso live some time back.

This change was not because of PvP but becuase of PvE...

They want to diversify how a tank plays instead of just block casting...

They better change how tanks can damage mitigate then if they want this to even 1/2 be acceptable to the masses.
