✭Due to the addition of the outfit system, more players will be searching and buying and selling motiffs. Please, either include a search bar available by default on guild traders (crucial on consoles where mods cannot compensate), AND/OR add a new drop down under motiff that allows us to search for individual motiff styles at the very least.
Should be a very simple quality of life change that would make the trader experience much easier for crafters and roleplayers alike.Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.

He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.10 -

Was the Tiara from the mid year mayhem event removed? I had it on one of my characters and now it's showing the ugly helmet I'm forced to wear since hide helmet isn't working.
@DjMuscleboy02 In these notes they mentioned moving it from hats to facial accessory (or something like that). So I imagine that made it unequip...
I also think it makes more sense under hats but *shrug*

The radius change is probably because the last PTS patch removed aoe caps, and this is a pretty devastating ult. I expect we'll see more radius tweaking next week.TotallyNotVos wrote: »"Elemental Storm: Reduced the radius of this ability and its morphs to 8 meters from 10 meters."
I don't understand, stam is already beating Magicka across the board in trash. Why not just reduce eye of the storm and leave rage alone?CP 750+

Probably because Rage is so good, every class uses it (except DKs ... sometimes).
In general though, I'd say magicka players can take a que from stamina players. When stam was bad, they flooded these forums with threads, parses, suggestions, and all sorts of other ways to communicate to ZoS the problems they had (namely meh DPS and suriviability). It took ZoS a while, but they did eventually made some reforms.
What similar posts have been made detailing issues that magicka has in end game raids?2 -

✭I would eat my pants if someday in the patch notes i would read this:
"Introducing some major Fixes and Improvement to Cyrodiil reducing the Latency Issues in prime time significantly while also increasing the Player Limit to 350 per Alliance."
Man this would be a mark in ESO history. Everybody would cry for happyness and soooo many players would come back and bring new players.
@Zeni: Don´t let me dream, make it happen
Its really sad how Cyro performance has fallen. On launch it was 600 players per alliance, torchbugs and other animals were still alive and it worked like that:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64bBvOKxnVE
Now, barely 100 players per side, most animals killed off and its still insane lagfest ;/
Make Cyrodill great again!
Seeing 600 people per alliance would be a major overkill now, in my opinion, with all those weapon ultimates and coldharbour balistas.
The game is so much bigger than then and ZOS probably used and allocated servers that were reserved for Cyrodiil to be used for overland/pve content. I'm just speculating, but I wouldn't be surprised that the main cause for a lag is lack of (expensive) server power.4 -

Will never happen. It wasn't just Cyrodiil that was smoother back then, the whole game was, because much more calculations were done client-side. Obviously this wasn't secure and lead to all kinds of exploits, which were fixed a few months after release by moving that stuff server-side, around the time of the infamous "lighting patch". Game's never been the same since.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

If it's a bug that is to be fixed, then you really need to reconsider your offbalance changes, especially ridiculously long cooldown. Otherwise playing magDK in PvE will be a pain cause its sustain is the worst of all.5 -

✭I was kind of hoping you would fix the bug where you cannot dye a weapon unless it's in an outfit, because that means you have to pay gold every time you want to dye a weapon, and you have to include it into an outfit. Seems like kind of an oversight to be honest.
Here's a picture to show what I'm talking about:

As it stands rn, I’m pretty sure Mag DK (finally) is viable again in a raid. Also a Mag Sorc will be needed to maintain Offbalance.
If the bug is fixed Mag DK is again dead, taking with them Magicka Sorcs and Magicka Wardens (which were already horrible). All you’ll see is Stam DPS and Mag NBs. Maybe Magplar too but idk how they’re doing on PTS - can’t speak for them.1 -

The Elder Scrolls Online v3.3.1 mainly includes some fixes for combat abilities, the Outfit System, homes and furnishings, and Cyrodiil. You can expect to see combat balance changes in next week’s PTS incremental patch as we’re still going through PTS feedback. The size of this incremental is approximately 168MB.
There ya go.

Magplars need a 10k Dps increase (or even more....but I guess 50k in raids is doable on live in a perfect attempt) to get on par with unbugged stamtemplar (without supporting the group with PotL, war machine and maybe Sunderflame/nmg) on the live-server....to match StamDKs and Stamsorcs....even more.
Maybe someone can provide parses from pts...but I highly doubt they can compete with stamDKs. They would need to maintain a OneTamriel-like rotation to get there which is impossible with current sustain.
