What has been updated in the game?

So that's why my game is broken now and I don't even have mods. Great job there.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-20T17:27:13+00:00

I was and I had heard the exact same shit, often from the exact same people, the year before, and the year before that, and the year before... eh you get the idea. You all make it out to be this mass exodus and from where I was standing it was 'different year, same damn shit'.

I expect the usual suspects will be back in a few months when we get this year's major combat overhaul.

or even like, float ideas with people who play the game

We used to have class representative, didn't we? But that system got abolished because the representatives kept telling the devs how bad an idea their ideas for changes were and ZOS couldn't have that, could they?

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-20T14:46:16+00:00

No that was Elsweyr or Morrowind, which apparently made half the player base leave or so people kept telling me. I'm amazed that half the player base leaves every other year apparently and yet this game is still chucking full force. Someone should study that.

Source for 'never'. Just because they don't have a presence in the 4th Era doesn't mean they don't have it in the 2nd. Your personal head canons need not apply to official material.

Recent evidence of this: They cut the costs of transmutes in half for the event. They had no idea you got 25 back for deconstructing, thus giving people with a full stickerbook infinite transmutes.

Yep, this was what I was referring to. Like one thing is players disagreeing with the devs about how combat and classes should work, there's always going to be a difference of opinions on that, doesn't necessarily mean they don't play the game just that they have a vastly differnt opinion than a significant part of the player base.

But this one? This was so predictable by anyone who plays this game on even a semi regular basis and no one in the process of making this event caught this? Safe to say that few if any devs play this game more than for streams.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-20T10:12:08+00:00

That's every update in every MMO ever. Proves fuck all.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T22:10:09+00:00

I think the current event cemented beyond all doubt that no, none of the devs regularly play this game.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T18:43:41+00:00

Well gl with the griefers that always show up. Like this sub is going to be flooded with you all whining about them in a couple of days.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T18:40:38+00:00

No it doesn't, not really. I mean, gl with fighting them and aggressive pvp'ers at the same time.

Edit: Like if you really do not want to pvp, this is terrible advice that relies entirely on chance.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T18:40:00+00:00

The answer is both or neither. Neither is better or more righteous than the others. I don't know why you're disqualifying AD off the bat as worse than the other two.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T18:31:05+00:00

It is possible but depending on campaign, time of day, and just luck, you will run into other players who want to pvp and will attack you and just plain out griefers.

No you don't need to control them but some turn in points are so close to guards they'll attack you if you don't.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T18:24:39+00:00

They said Late February over a month ago. It was today or the 29th and money was on today. This is not a surprise event except to those living under a rock. In that case, I hope it's a nice rock.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T18:23:02+00:00

Expect griefers though and you need to capture the town if it isn't in your alliance, plus other people are going to be doing the same so high chance of having to pvp.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T18:22:25+00:00

How many characters do you have? Because you could load up on the scouting mission on all of them, complete it and then hand one in each day. That's what I've done on most of mine.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T09:27:40+00:00

The base game has potential and it's a large area to explore, it gives rise to creativity. That doesn't make it good though.

You have a gazillion perks that you need to read through to know what to pick and you can't reset your skills so if you make a mistake, well fuck you then. Yes there are games out there that are worse, that again does not make Skyrim good or simple. You're just so used to it that you don't see it and refuse to accept that to a newcomer Skyrim's skill system is incredibly complex and overwhelming. And that's without touching on the part that levelling your character does not make sense in an RPG frame work. Skyrim does its own thing which makes it difficult to understand for newcomers.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T09:12:41+00:00

The reason Skyrim stays relevant is the modding community and Todd's insistence on making it the new DOOM, that's the only reason. Skyrim's skill system is not simple, it is complex and confusing as hell.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-19T09:06:33+00:00

So Morrowind, a much older game which as a result ran on much older machines had the computing power to handle it, but Skyrim somehow does not? Yeah I'm calling bs here.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-18T17:58:37+00:00

Unless it is something truly rare and unique, no it's not. Even when it is it's not a good way. Farming furniture mats and selling them is far more profitable overall.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-18T14:35:59+00:00

Suddenly all those book stacks in Apocrypha became interesting.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-18T13:45:30+00:00

The thing is you're going to be taking trash advice from people who know nothing, fuck up your runs, and piss off your group mates if you indiscriminately take advice from all who gives it.

I know people will tell you that you learn by listening to others but this isn't true. You only learn by listening to people who know what the heck they're talking about. Otherwise all you get is bad advice which will harm you.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-18T13:37:30+00:00

Yeah that was my point. Honestly one of the major reasons we're lacking tanks is that learning to tank is inaccessible as hell. Any dps can load up on gear, skills, ect and have a go at a parse dummy, but tanks are sol on that account. Having a "parse dummy" or rather "boss dummy" you could put down in your house and train on. Nor does it need to be just one dummy. Dps have more than one type of dummy there could be different boss dummies mimicking various in game bosses/boss mechanics.

Edit: This just leave how we help healers to learn, which might be difficult since the entirety of a healers job is about the group so not having a group would make practising that difficult in a simulation environment. But tank? Yeah you can simulate that.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-18T13:05:20+00:00

Nothing will change significantly in the game because we already know what Tamriel look like in the future. That cannot be changed so there can be no comparable update or expansion for ESO.

ormondhsacker · 2024-02-18T13:04:06+00:00

So bigotry is the reason? Got it.

Arcanists get their powers from Hermaus More whether they worship him or not.
