I think they're out of ideas and a little defeated by perceived negative feedback. What I see in general is ZOS turtles up when any negative feedback comes out, and certainly don't have skilled enough CMs to get the feedback to generate set ideas, or find a better alternative. It really feels they're further insulating themselves from feedback loops, especially when it comes to qualitative feedback. They sunsetted the class rep programs, which speaks volumes. Like you said, they balance by spreadsheet, fun be damned.

[@AnonymousQwerty]

What is a class rep program?

[@TheDestLife]

@@AnonymousQwerty It was an initiative, I think Nefas was one, where certain players would give dedicated feedback on how a class plays. So basically player experts giving ZOS some technical feedback.

[@miketerzis7468]

They didn't listen to us in u35 ... they won't listen now . Don't bother with ignorant egoistic devs .

[@kaas228]

Whom us? I think u35 was great or you want to say that your opinion is absolute?

[@ZDavidH]

@@kaas228great? If you play DK it is good if not is a pure sht

[@atonofspiders]

All I truly want is a Red Lightning staff for my Vanpire nightblade; gimme that harrowstorm lightning look PLEASE it would fit so well instead of the style-cramping blue lightning

[@Lalaafastroli]

That would be so sick

[@benjamineer3045]

As swtor veteran that really liked the warzones (their version of BGs) back in that game, I would love it if we get 8v8 BGs, with some tactical objectives. And if we get that, also having a ranked version of that would be a wet dream come through :P

[@GoochMuncher6969]

It would definitely be cool but the eso group bg “metagame” is so aids I only que for solo, at least on Xbox na

[@knowlen]

There just needs to be some form of rating leaderboard so people have a reason to play organized PvP

[@GoochMuncher6969]

@@knowlen I’m not sure, we would see even more heal bots with 50k hp

[@knowlen]

that isn't really a problem in solo queue (IME), but for teams maybe @@GoochMuncher6969 ijs there is like zero incentive behind BGs right now. It's only useful functions is leveling alts because it gives quick ranks for SP / daily transmutes

[@MarkHoover-dv7mf]

For year 10, they should do a "new set" poll that goes out on a certain date and make 3 of per patch for the rest of the year

[@feralomen]

The most epic of all. Skinnycheeks, Nefas, and Olibeau.

[@MarkHoover-dv7mf]

To fix necro, change on morph of each of the tethers to make an aoe on ground or on the castor (while including regens from said morphs into that) and change the stupid clow morph into a higher damage skill.

[@LaSpookyPR]

You should bring bislobo into your stream he’s a really good pvper

[@vasicdude9430]

Infinite archive needs to be like Keys in mythic + in WoW. What would be nice is not the toxic lowering of your key when you fail... See how far you can push!

[@MarkHoover-dv7mf]

They need to make twisting path do more dmg, the saps to hit harder (maybe nerf the healing on sap essence and swallow soul) and veil hit harder.

[@Mikey-uj3dc]

Yeah let's give more damage to the class with the most damage already

[@parmenion6298]

Really enjoyed that discussion. I have in question: Zos increased the range of light attacks to 7m but there are still a lot of skills that have a range less than 7m. Do you think they will ever adjust these skills to 7m range?

[@feralomen]

I think they need to add more flavor text stating vs monster or vs players.

[@LaSpookyPR]

Is bc theirs a lot of people that don’t play serious or don’t understand doc dungeon mechanics so they trying to get more people do more dlc undunted

[@lef1970]

That’d be a gold sink - ability to buy transmutes with gold.

[@LBCreateSpace]

Group finder is poppin for trials on PC NA during prime time and I really like it. It lets you do a lot of vet trials without hearing someone breathing in your ear in Discord 😂 But I am not happy with blastbones changes. Having to be in combat to fast the new morph feels really bad. Really don’t want that to make it to live.

[@Mikey-uj3dc]

Vet trial pugs without discord is actually possible? I haven't played in a while

[@LBCreateSpace]

yeah! and it's more fun imo bc you don't have to hear Jimmy eating Doritos in your ear@@Mikey-uj3dc

[@adolfocanul1]

Wait till throne and liberty. Has potential. Played beta and was awsome. Still playing ESO but I'm upset how they got my magblade,salty lol

[@GoochMuncher6969]

For real bro, mag blade is super single target, but we do the least amount of damage now lol

[@adolfocanul1]

@@GoochMuncher6969 yeah it’s tuff. Constantly switching sets to keep up. It’s a tuff I got some many builds for different content. While arc can use 2 sets.

[@GoochMuncher6969]

@@adolfocanul1 if you like a more active rotation I made a no parse cheese no pet sorc hitting in the 112-116k range, skinny cheeks showed some parses hitting 130k plus with similar set ups but that’s with the prebuffs and power overload so that number is pretty inflated, hoping to break 120k with it once the next patch is out

[@GoochMuncher6969]

My parses were also with vigor on the backbar so it’s pretty legit

[@feralomen]

TheGameRoom ie Dooma has a vid for IA using Monolith and reaching Arc 10.

[@WillieWoods-lr9dm]

The mythic is dope. Stop knocking things before you try them.

[@GoochMuncher6969]

They need to fix the atro taking away no pet sorcs Stam/mag buff, when would you ever not run Atro in 12 man content

-ouroboros crates as rewards for in game daily activities -convert the daily login rewards into a battle pass with exp progress (whole month's rewards earnable by playing, can buy tiers with gold) -every month always includes 4x crown store crates -make crown store items purchasable with gold -crown gems as event rewards (complete all event quests per day) -endeavor streak bonuses -option to complete all daily and weekly endeavors without a limit -new overland gameplay (timed overland world events like destroy a special dolmen with increased enemies and difficulty, or kill a special world boss whose super buffed with better loot) -undaunted keys can be used for dungeon sets (like ic and cyro gear boxes) -dungeon style motifs purchasable with keys (bind when received) -give each class a new ultimate in a new skill line (named Sorcerer, Nightblade, etc), activating it performs a flashy class identity memento that reduces class ability costs with slight buffs, like a mythic in ultimate ability form to accentuate your class -then more class mementos could be earned or bought to customize that ultimate cosmetic -pvp duel arenas in overland 1v1 2v2 3v3 that summon a portal competitors enter and their instance can be viewed by nearby players via "spirit" form (located at bg quest areas, champion gets mail rewards and a title they defend in their respective zone) -add a pvp hub zone that connects all pvp activities and serves as a social zone for pvpers -pve only imperial city instanced zone -reworked imperial city sewers (converted into its own unique match based 8v8v8 mode with moba/tower defense mechanics. coldharbour portals must be defended, ic sewer world bosses and patrolling guard bosses defeated by an alliance are claimed by that alliance, then they only target/damage enemies, and your alliance gains their buff) each alliance fights for the center event, where all opposing alliances must be dead or out of the center zone when molag bal's health reaches zero -unified mount upgrades (1 of each attribute per day) -gliding mounts (hold jump while falling in air to glide across distances), or the ability can be earned in game for any of your mounts, add a magic glow effect that surrounds your mount or spectral wings, make them grindable so you need one for every different mount you own -end of my suggestions for now :)

[@atonofspiders]

They should nerf everyone who is a cat with a cat pet riding a cat mount And also they should ban and nerf everyone who keep their winged twilights and scamps up in safe zones like towns and markets
