Do You Care For Crafting?

I've personally managed to fully level up most of my crafting skills using methods such as deconstruction, however I've never really felt encouraged to do much else. This left me wondering how meany people there are who also just ignore this side of the game...

(There was going to be another option but apparently you can't edit a poll after accidentally posting)

Have you ever met a complete stranger from ESO in real life?

Poll is anonymous. Thought to ask because I did before in another MMO. Yes, we were both well above legal age.

Discussion for Magicka NB skills atm

$
0
0
This is from a PVP stand point but some things will of course apply to PVE as well.
This is a longish post for magicka NBs to discuss the current skills so if youre not a magicka NB and youre here to just brush this off, then please dont bother as you probably wouldnt want to strengthen another class anyway lol.
*If you CBA to read it all just read the conclusion parts.

We all know Magicka NBs are lower down the popularity contest and food chain atm and the insistence of single target attacks throughout the class skill lines limits the usefulness of a magicka nightblade in a group.

AOE Attacks?
There are a grand total of two attacks in the NB skill lines that attack more than 1 target at once with one being the overly expensive sap essence and the other being path of darkness which really just requires the opponent to moon walk out of it as their movement speed is not affected and the skill is quite visible. Either way, i personally dont think "corridor" type attacks are that good in open PVP anyway.
The whole assasination skill line only focuses on one target which isnt such a problem as sap essence is actually a great skill but considering the cost of it and the low damage output, I really believe the cost of this skill should be reduced due to our very very limited number of choices.
There are no burst heals within the skill line, so you cannot approach a magicka NB how you would a magicka templar. Especially as jabs cost a lot less than sap essence and are more efficient in general for the damage output. Im not asking for burst heals, but im asking people to understand that without them your playstyle needs to be different too.

Conclusion:
Reduce the cost of Sap Essence

Specialty?
At this stage, I dont believe what the NB skill lines offer any sort of specialty in terms of what magicka NBs as a class are renowned for. You could argue burst damage but magicka sorcs and even stamina NBs simply do it better. Burst damage took a hit with increasing the number of light/heavy attacks with grim focus to 5 from 3. To hit an enemy 5 times with a light or heavy attack within 20 seconds would be fine before this patch but it suggests to me that youll be weaving it with your other attacks and by the time its all done your magicka bar has taken a big hit, for not much return as the burst damage from the other skills isnt the best either.

The other issue is the speed of Cripple i think is far too slow and the speed of assasin's blade is the same thing. Both attacks take too long to reach the target and seeing as Templar's got the speed buff for piercing javelin, I dont see why NBs cant get the same here for these attacks.

This last one is debatable but the Minor Maim from Summon Shades lasts 4 seconds lol and they do around 800 damage every 2 seconds. Again, it is far from a cheap skill to use and quite situational (the teleport is broken at times anyway) but this skill can be made more useful than it is and would work towards giving NBs more of a unique element if it was convincing enough for the average NB to run it.

Conclusion:
Return light/heavy attakcs for grim focus to proc to 3 or even 4.
Increase the speed of Cripple and Assasin's Blade.
Increase damage of the shadows from Summon Shade and maybe increase the time of Minor Maim as its only 4 seconds and single target.

Sustain
The magicka regen is struggling as much as any other class is at the moment. The instant reaction is siphoning attacks but that returns a whooping 100 magicka per light or heavy attack lol. Again, im not asking to change this but im asking you to acknowledge that 100 magicka is quite poor and the burst of around 4000 you get is after 20 seconds which = 200 magicka per second but its actually not per second its just 4000ish after 20 seconds.
Again like the burst damage, compared to the superior magicka pool/recovery that magicka sorcs and templars have atm, magicka nightblades are just so evidently inferior. So a way to increase the magicka regen I think can help overall.

Conclusion:
Apply minor magickasteal to Mark Target similar to how Elemental Drain works as they both debuff the target.


I do not believe these changes are even asking for that much, it would just give the class some small changes that will benefit it and make it a slighly more even playing field.
Of course it all depends on the player, Ive been playing magicka NB since launch and believe im quite decent at it but witnessing this obvious disadvantage atm is quite frustrating.

Let me know what you think

It cost my medium armor toon 17k stamina to block soul assault. Is this intended? Because then it means stamina builds do not have a reliable counter to Soul assault.

Friendly Dungeon Runners - Still active, Still Recruiting ( 500 members )

Friendly Dungeon Runners is an all alliance (AD/DC/EP) guild on PC NA Server. We focus on doing pledges(normal and vet) and also trials in a friendly environment.

We’re an active guild with 500 members. Some players are new, and some players are very experienced. Our aim is simple: Be nice to each other, and show respect to all members in the guild. To help keep the guild active, I remove players that haven’t logged on for a while and then replace them with new recruits.

Update: 5/10/2017
I am looking for a few friendly leaders to help with trials. Currently I am the only player that leads trials, and would love someone to help me. We mostly run 1 trial on Tuesday and Wednesday, 3 trials on Fridays and Saturdays, and then sometimes on Sundays.

Also, it would be nice to have someone lead members in Vet trials. This is something we have never done, I think some of these members are ready for vet trials just need a good leader to take them there.

Renewed eso+ got crowns but cnt access craft bag

Ok guys. So my partner renewed his eso+ yesterday it was due today. He got his crowns this morning and everything was working fine. Then as of reset his craft bag and dlc content and bank space (which has decreased) are now all not working. His eso + says it's not active in crown store. Anyone know how to fix this? As we renewed it yesterday and now it's stopped working. He has sent in a ticket but who know how long that will take. He can't even post to the forums as he needs an invite code.. So I'm posting on N his behalf.

Houses as Armory's...

$

Imagine being able to log in to your house on any character and see all your acquired sets displayed on mannequin's, with corresponding weapon racks for that particular set.
At the end of the day sets are the real trophy's, and acquiring them is the real end game.

For me, most of the fun in the game comes from mixing and matching sets to create unique builds to run in all the different content. Sets are used to define the role of your character, and I like to change up that role quite often. I could see myself grabbing tanking sets more often on particular toons and pugging dungeons for undaunted. This would greatly benefit the lack of tanking and healer roles as players have more freedom to diversify, with the ability to plainly see what sets they have acquired and completed, in a manner that marks out clear goals for their time spent in game. Gotta Catch 'UM ALL!!

Now I'm aware that ZOS have stated housing will not get any storage, but this isn't storage per-se. And we can limit it by say, once an item is placed on a rack only other items corresponding to the placed set can be added to that rack. Once an item is placed on a rack it is bound to your account. They could even make it so the rack slots take up your banking slots..... but that would limit ZOS's own benefit....

Yes, I'm aware this could never happen without the ability to monetize it. Well, ZOS could sell the racks in the CS. Say 1,500 crowns per. This is a sure fire way of guaranteeing everyone's monthly quota of ESO+ crowns don't build up. And imagine the amount of houses they would sell also! I can picture myself running up the housing limit pretty quickly and purchasing a house in Rivenspire to display my Necropotence and Vampire Cloak sets, a house in Eastmarch to display my Dragon and Fiord's sets, and so on. So many crown sales.....

Obviously it would only be fair to be able to acquire racks in game also, like through master writ vouchers, but also as rewards. Say, acquiring the flawless conqueror title rewarded you a rack for displaying all your (non-sharpened :p ) Maelstrom weapons. Hard-mode trials awarded mannequins or racks for the sets that drop within and so on again.

So what do we think? Silly Question. Amazing right!! Now how do we convince ZOS that we, even 'they', want this?

Random Infot:
As this is a guild being revived, there is opportunity for advancement as we need active trustworthy officers.
The guild bank was full of items when it changed hands awhile back and these are being placed in the Guild Store to make gold for vendor. However, if there is an item a guild member wants that is being sold by the Banker toon (PSNID: Katrillia), msg lostdreamer3 and we can provide it at COD at a different price if you think it's not a good price.

Times of Activity:
The GM is on normally between 9pm-11pm EST so most recruiting in game will be during this time, so if you play in the evening, this is probably the guild you want to be in!

To Join: Msg lostdreamer3 in game, post here, private message through the forums to Synfidie, or send a PSN message for invite. Feel free to join the PSN community if you are shy and don't want to send a message and we can add you that way as well.

FULLY GROWN Wolf Pet

To whom it may concern... **cough cough @ZOS_GinaBruno , @ZOS_JessicaFolsom cough**

I've been playing the game as a werewolf enthusiast, and spent god knows how many crowns on werewolf themed stuff, but I am just curios about one thing, that I'm sure many others have also enquired about. . . WHERE IS THE ADULT WOLF PET?!?! Having "cute little cubs" is alright and all, but as a werewolf blooded assassin, I need something more intimidating, and with some Oomph. Can we PLEASE get a legitimate wolf pet, you know. . . like the one like or similar to Lothakar Secret-Oath's pet? Each time I see that NPC, I'm still pretty jealous after waiting for so long. :(

Schrodinger's Cloak: The act of being broken, but overpowered at the same time.

After many attempts and hard work... Its still broken. Things like riposte, things that shouldn't affect it, somehow does for some reason. What spaghetti code causes something unrelated to pull you out of cloak. How are things like this still an issue. I bet instead of spending money on hiring to fix their game, they just funnel it into cosmetics creations :/

On the otherhand. Cloak is also brokenly overpowered as it can negate any attack whilst its going through, they can cloak even whilst rooted, and if you pull them out, mthey can pop back in straight away. There should be a 1 sec cooldown after an attack before you can cloak, so LoSing or rolling would be needed and cloak spam would be reduced.

Need help increasing my dps

So I've farmed gear or bought it so my pet sorc and bow/dw nb dps toons have 2 5 sets and a monster. I've the majority of the sought after skills and passives for each. And all purple gear/weps/jewelry

Yes they are essentially meta builds. As I don't have time to theory craft. They are adjusted to suit my own playstyle and to compensate for stat issues.

However both are only pulling 10k dps over 20 seconds..

I'm attempting to weave and animation cancel and when I get a few that's when I hit 10k.

I still need proper glyphs for weapons and weapon damage glyphs on jewelry.

Can someone point me to some current game state videos that show how to do these things?

Or is there somewhere way to increase dps.

The Streamer/YouTuber Problem With ESO

$
0

Y'all have to seriously chill on making these videos telling people that this and that build is the best, and how they should strictly do this and that. And completely disregard all other builds.

I'm a min-maxer myself, and honestly it's getting ridiculous seeing these new players talking about things that they don't even understand. But, it's getting real old having new players come up to me and asking me whether or not they should only go for Netch's Touch or Necropotence for their Sorcerers. Nightblades asking asking if they can have someone help farm Selene and Viper for them, because apparently that's all that exists for Nightblades. And deadass, it's getting on my nerves.

These players are essentially getting brainwashed, and basically just keeping the cycle going of parroting what they hear this and that 1 say on a damn video. Meanwhile they have no idea how to: Animation cancel, weave properly, how their builds work, the mechanics of dungeons and trials, etc. But yet, they are so worried about having what's "meta". So I try to tell them to go and learn their fundamentals and basics first, and learn things like champion point "jump points". And they get mad. They catch an attitude, and say I'm elitist because I'm holding them back from being successful. And that's exactly the mentality that a lot of these new players are developing. That you need this and that gear to be successful in PvE and PvP, and while that may be true to a certain extent — it's not the FULL truth. Not even half of the truth.

I had a duel a few minutes ago against a DK using: Kags, Skoria, And Sun. Basically the same as my DK (except I use Seducer), and he got steamrolled. He was CP630 just like me, and we used pretty much the same damn skills. And that boy got merked. Why did he get merked? Because he was using something he had no clue about. And when I picked his brain a bit, found out that he was using what he was using because his favorite streamer/YouTuber told him it was the meta for DK's. that his build dominates everything, and how he should be able to easily crush anyone in a fight. That DK got his ass whooped by everyone in town. And essentially ended up leaving (I guess out of embarrassment). And that made me sad, because you cats that are making these videos aren't telling these players that there are better options out there for new people to certain builds. That there are other viable setups. But no. You make a video, or stream saying this is the meta. This is what works, and barely explain why it works. You don't explain the mechanics of how it all comes together. And you're essentially breeding these zombie players, who don't know squat about squat. And get embarrassed when they duel someone who uses the same build as them (to a degree).

Do you know how annoying it is to have someone come-up to me, and ask me if I'm using the same pet build that @Alcast runs? And that's no disrespect to that man, as he has helped tons of people understand things. And helped tons of people clear content. He's a brilliant person, and I hope he continues doing what he's doing. I'm not knocking him for that. But, it's just incredibly annoying to have people automatically assume that because I'm running a pet build that I got it from another person. No. I didn't. I've been using pets as far back as I can remember. I was using pets to beat Maelstrom, when the vast majority of other Sorcs were following @Deltia builds, and running Molag Kena and 2 swords. I was using Necropotence, before it even was scaled up to VR16 or CP160 as it's now known as. And it's just so damn irritating. And those who have been apart of these forums know that about me. I've ALWAYS been a PetSorc. Always. I have videos as far back as May 2016 of me using pets in Maelstrom, though I've always used pets even before then.

So please. I know you want to have your previous viewers and subscribers hit that precious like button, and be apart of your "notification squad". But, at least make it clear that there are other routes to take for success. And that it's MORE IMPORTANT TO LEARN HOW A CLASS WORKS ENTIRELY, than to just chase after "high-end gear".

It's not always about the Ferrari, but the driver whipping the Ferrari. And that driver's knowledge of the car, and knowledge about driving overall :|

Battlegrounds are a terrible experience.

$

Let me just start by saying I have been playing for about four months now and have enjoyed almost every moment of it. I have been looking forward to battlegrounds for some time now as I was an avid prior MMO Battlegrounder.

The battleground experience right now is absolutely terrible. Premade teams of highly tuned proc builds 1 shot anyone who is even remotely not an op meta one shot class. Time to kill is literally around 3 seconds in 1v1 and even lower 1vx.

This is incredibly elitest and not what i was expecting or hoping at all. My first 10 battlegrounds all resulted in getting completely facerolled with zero chance for any fun.

I get that I could roll one of like the 3 overpowered 1 shot classes that comprise 80% of the battlegrounds scene but this is just rediculous.
I doubt I will be returning to battlegrounds anytime soon and i am positive this has left a bad impression on most of the community who has tried with the exception of the 5% of the playerbase who knows how to take advantage of every non cp strategy possible.

Let the learn to plays roll in, but that doesnt change the fact it is an absoluttely terrible experience for 95% of the ESO population.
If Morrowind BGs were pitched as elitest stompfest where 2 builds will reign supreme without a single chance for a majority of the playerbase I would imagine this would make people cringe. But the fact is true.

This rant is in hopes that ZOS does something to tune down certain sets and dmg in non CP and fix this disappointment.

What is the bigger problem in todays game...Proc Sets or Resource Poisons?

$
0
0
I'll go 1st and say that, IMHO, Resource Posions are the greater problem for the simple reason that there is no counter for them; you cant cleanse it and you cant prevent it from happening (being Poisoned)...

Procs Sets on the other hand, while being very powerful (and absolutely needing Dev attention), atleast can be countered by someone with a Highly Defensive build...

So my argument for Resource Poisons being a bigger problem than Proc Sets is simple; there is a way of defending yourself from one of them, but there is no way to defend yourself from the other...


I die more because of someone using Resource Poisons on me, and depleting Magicka Pool, than from anything else...

I fought a Stamblade earlier today and at one point in the fight I had half of my Magicka Bar, literally a sec or two later my bar was depleted to the point to where I couldn't use a single Magicka ability...

The above had nothing to do with my Resource Management or my opponents skill; that was the result of an overpowered mechanic that I had no defense to...


So I'll conclude by saying that Proc Sets definitely need to be "adjusted," but Resource Poisons need to be "adjusted" even moreso than the Proc Sets do...
