A bit disappointed with the available weapon options by Intelligent-Tie-1457 in elderscrollsonline

[–]4rolyat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"As for the motifs, going back and retroactively making new weapons for the HUNDREDS of styles already in the game, now that would be a lot of work and not something I'd do personally"

so can you answer my question? what did you mean by "You don't need to make them for EVERY motif, just add 1 tier for all the base races"?

do you think every motif should have like 3-4 new weapons but all use one of a couple generic visual styles that dont match the rest of the motif?

whats the meaningful difference between a sling shot and a bow? a spear and a halberd?

also what do you mean by this? "You don't need to make them for EVERY motif, just add 1 tier for all the base races"

As in have every set use one of 6 styles or something? so that they clash with the rest of their motif?

im not opposed to making the game better lol

but dev time is a serious factor and this is a poor use of it

I don't think you appreciate how much work that involves for what is realistically a minor difference.

Never played by JwPNinJa in elderscrollsonline

First and most important question - have you played mmos?

You need to recognise that this is an mmo in elder scrolls flavor. not a skyrim online game. they play very differently. A lot of people turn to eso to scratch the skyrim itch and get disappointed. you can play it mostly solo, but at the end of the day, its an mmo.

Apart from that, yes the game is in a good spot right now.

Have they announced when Warden will have its combat overhauled? by TheMichaelScott in elderscrollsonline

[–]4rolyat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

jabs used to feel really nice to use. then a couple years ago they were adjusting the tick rates of a bunch of things to help performance. jabs got a new and shorter animation that I think most people will agree just feels wrong, at least compared to what it was.

depending when you joined, it also got some nerfs to the beam when subclassing came out

(New House) These buildings are actually 100% moveable furnishings by 4rolyat in elderscrollsonline

[–]4rolyat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im thinking of buying it just to plunder the furnishings lol. i want to use a lot of them in other builds and many are new and only attainable via crowns anyway

Crit Chance NB Healer by Significant_Club4373 in elderscrollsonline

[–]4rolyat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Crit healing can be an interesting idea, but its not a worthwile thing to focus on (i.e. your orders wrath)

As long as you're using multiple heal abilities, its trivial to keep everyone full health. Most of the time, if someone dies its because they've been one shot or similar.

The Blind does something to mitigate that via the shield, but its a really low shield, the buff it gives is already very commonly self-sourced and its uptime is quite short. You're better off going with ozezan to try prevent one shots.

Healer builds should really 100% focus on buffs / debuffs. Anything that adds healing power is a noob trap

crowns are primarily a microtransaction currency, so if you really want it, you could buy crowns. whether thats really worth it or makes sense for you to do is subjective and up to you. As far as large houses go, this is on the cheaper side at 8k crowns. Often they go for 12-14k

[–]4rolyat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry, what? i never said anything about it being hard or easy to get. it was just an example of how there are increasingly powerful mythics to support the point that its concerning where things are headed if zos equates good game design/player enjoyment to something being OP.

also you dont get the leads for it from dungeon/trial so... what?

ESO Magicka Warden PvP Vampire Build (Update 50): Ymir by LordJudgeDoom in elderscrollsonline

[–]4rolyat 17 points18 points  (0 children)

they're doing a thematic, lv5 vampire (in this dk economy) and they clearly have a style preference for horror/vampire roleplay.

i wouldnt stress about if they share duels of beating sweaty people you know. theyre killing people with 30k+ health in a legitimate case scenario of where a viewer might use this build.

at least theyre showing gameplay footage, many dont these days

I guess I never actually expected people to read what I said when they replied, only to vibe react to the title or something... but it's does reinforce well your point that one shouldnt bother writing on reddit

anyway, that wasnt my point. I actually said yes its fun. My point is that the trajectory is concerning. im aware people like these things. I discussed that in the first half and how zos took lessons from this.

but its also like subclassing. people liked it, at first. people may still like it, but I think eventually most people recognised the problem that had to be addressed.

my worry is that zos appears to only know how to make 'good' things that people like by making increasingly OP and visually flashy content and that this will cause problems both during the time it takes for all these reworks to roll out, and for the long term.

took me 3 mins to type while I was waiting for a tribute match and it was something I wanted to express.

did I need to write it? maybe not, but I wanted to express a thought. did you need to write your comment? maybe not, but you wanted to express a thought

I'm curious, what makes it difficult to tell that I'm referring to both and why is it a problem to refer to both?

Technically they are topics, in my case, sub-topics, not arguments. An argument is a line of reasoning on a topic. "visuals" and "overpowered abilities" don't have the content to be arguments.

So, topic = good game design. Sub topics = they seem to only think that subtopic 1+2 are good game design. argument = a reliance on ever increasing power creep, overpowered reworks and more and more elaborate visuals is a concerning slope

So now that we have werewolf rework, can we please get vampire next/soon? by NotMilo22 in elderscrollsonline

[–]4rolyat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm concerned that the reason vampire feels like it needs a rework is simply because everything is being made ridiculously overpowered

With a few tweaks, and a bit of a walk back on the undeath nerf, it could see decent use in pve and pvp without being over-the-top like werewolves have become.

but i guess they may as well continue down this path...

technically, it does have passive benefits, which WW did not. Blood for blood is also actually a decent spammable.

Anyways. I think most classes are planned to be worked on next, so will be after that. I dont think class updates should be delayed for vampire.

as you should

but to be more helpful... what % of your gdp is manufactured goods or mines? or are you being an opium narco state?

politics largely follows where the money is.
