  • Not looking good, too many changes at once in the next update for ESO. I really hope they are going to make a lot of adjustments before this gets released.

    Gilliam should be removed from lead combat balance he always over thinks these things and trys to balance around dummy parses instead of actual game content. Second these changes were made to lower APM to help stabilize the servers also to nerf DPS across the board. My biggest issue is the players hitting 50-70 dps they are the ones that are getting hurt the most in direct conflict to the reasons ZOS stated. There also make up the majority of the player base.

    I have a feeling they are doing this because they don't want to shell out to upgrade the EU servers to the same standard as the NA servers. Fewer ticks per second results in less calculations per second on the server.

      @jo_de 2 роки тому

      @@higgsbosontesticle No I think it's just an adjustment because of the fact that tey had lost pro gamers over the year. So Now fights and Vet-Instances will be easier but they will take longer. And so a so called Newbee will have more fun or at least find it easier to enter the game. But the Pro Gamers or High DPS Players will take a look for another game.
      As long as they can sell their game to more people Zos doesn't care about their fans anymore. That is how the breakdown of that patch notes feels to me. I cant see the relation to the EU-Servers upgrade. That is a different thing. But you may be right. As long as the community is unsatisfied with the patch we will not talk about the Server-Update they could not do because of the fact that some hardware can still not be delivered.

    when I found out about update 35 I started looking for new games and even stopped eso as much and now focusing on mainly my fave assasin creed games and I’m havin a blast. I urge others to do the same. If they don’t fix this mess I will quit eso altogether just like everyone else. we shall see but I’m prepared to delete the game and never look back if this patch goes live as is. What makes this real sad is how the goal of update 35 is money driven but disguised as wanting to help new players. real scumnny and down right sad.

    With all these horrible changes, you almost wish they'd introduce a group of representatives that are respected players amongst the community. Maybe assign specific classes to each individual that they might feel like they're experts in. This way, before you make outlandish changes that ultimately becomes detrimental to a class, you can ask for feedback from these representatives. I might be going out on a limb here, but I'd call it the "Class Rep Program"...

      I don't think they care for the current player base. I think that's where it's gone wrong.

  • @Matteo_11

    Came back to check out ESO for the new Chapter, but High Seas is such an insanely bad value- Card Game, Sidegrade Raid, and 1 single zone to quest in. No new class, no new faction with its own side stories...
    Just a gimmick mini game that other MMOs had for years.
    Now I am reminded about ESO's awful policy with balance and changes. Sets you work hard for are always a gamble. Will it be BIS meta for YEARS like Rel/Roria, or will it get nerfed useless in two patches?
    What really gets me is how the time/effort of obtaining an item is never calculated, anything is dashed on the whim of whatever bloated meta they seek to reign in.
    One day I knew there was gonna be a reckoning with the high pressure rotations of this game, but as usual their solutions are worse than I could imagine, and misunderstand the intricacies of their own game.
    As usual some of the funnest builds are taking a hint under flimsy reasoning, and we will just have to see how it plays out.
    Glad to see Alcast is still a voice of reason and quality insight!

The (almost outright removal) of animation cancelling was bad enough, but now this? After years of players practicing rotations and min maxing to get proficient in combat, instead of rewarding players for merit, they screw everyone over for improving their skill? So what if there is a gap in skill? There should be. In fact that’s also zenimax’s fault because of their greed. It takes an insane amount to level up skills and things like riding speed, which are character bound (except you can purchase in the crown store).

    I have not bought the last expansion because I'm focusing on another game right now.. but by reading this patch note I think I might just give up ESO.
    I'm tired of the constant "1 step forward 2 steps backward". I'm not saying that Devs cannot tune their game... but I'm tired of changing builds just because they cannot stick on a decision more than 6 months.
    Adjustment can be made when something is broken (overpower skills etc.), but with all the nerfs they are going to apply nobody can believe that so many things were broken.
    As it has been said in the video, Dungeon or Raid boss will still do as much damage than before while we'll do less damage and the healer will have more tough time to keep us alive...
    Well, it's their game; I let you guys test all these changes on the PTS, I'll watch videos once the patch will be released and decide if I still want to play this game or not.
