Rate update 5 [Poll]
How good is update 5?
Out of 5. I know a single update is not game changing, just rate it as far as updates go.
You can include bugs if you want to, but i wouldnt.

I'm generally curious as I'm now following updates... It's getting close to my time to try it again but man I'm skeptical. It truly let me down on so many things....
Anyway to update it though so I can see the results without falsely voting?
There Is Always Hope!
I think it's a pretty good udate. No huge / game changing factors but some nice additions and changes. Definitely love what they did with Snipe for Bow users, making it a more useful normal skill instead of being so situational.
I think the coming updates will be the ones that are mor eof a "game changer: with the addition of a form of world pvp with the justice system, removal of VRs and implementation of Champion system, etc. Just got back into playing the game recently o check out some of the new updates and am looking very forward to the new stuff.
I'll speak of what i have tried so far.
WW is sooo much more fun and versatile now, only had a quick play with it but 100% better than it was
Bow got some nice stuff, snipe had it's cast time reduced as well as now it has no min distance to fire from, poison arrow got buffed so it hits harder when mob is only below 50% health, bow just feels better overall.
LFG tool seems to be broken atm but ZOS have stated they are looking into it.
I voted 4, added some good features.
I really like the Undaunted daily dungeon quests, and dungeon scaling. The dungeons in this game are quite well done, and it was a shame to only run them once at a very specific level and never see them again. It's very fun going back to the ol' dungeons in a group now and being challenged again, even against the very first dungeon while the group is all maximum level.
As much as I am playing it now and having a blast, I recommend, if you want a massively drastic shift, to wait until the justice system is implemented in approximately 3-4 months.
As of this posting, results are:
1- Made the game worst - 10.3%
2- Did not improve anything - 0.0%
3- Average, did not add anything great but still worth it - 20.5%
4- Good, added some cool new features - 53.8%
5- Game changing in some ways - 15.4%
I can't vote because some of the stuff is better (removal of FCs, etc.) and some is worse or buggy -- seriously buggy like not getting Vet XP, etc.

Also, the launcher is acting weird as there is apparently another huge patch that is taking really long to download for some people -- with no patch notes yet. Hopefully it's a fix. Or is it a launcher bug?

That's not a bug there is no more Vet XP, just regular XP.
People VR 1-13 aren't getting enough XP. This is unintentional according to ZoS:
Hi everyone, we'd like to address the concerns with the change we recently made to experience points and gaining Veteran Levels. Update 5 introduced a new system where all Veteran Points were converted to use XP instead, as part of our phased rollout of the Champion System. The plan was for this to reduce the amount of time it would take to gain a Veteran Rank. However, we discovered an issue where you are not currently gaining as much XP as we intended. Fixing this issue is one of our top priorities. We are currently aiming to have this fixed in our next incremental patch, which will allow you to progress though Veteran Ranks at a faster rate than what you’re currently seeing in-game. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

4.
Great update. Unfortunately introduced some strange bugs, already quoted in this thread some experience bugs at VR levels. Scaling is working great, the challenge is a lot more fun.....when it scales properly. Really pretty happy about chat bubbles, they really are a necessary thing when you just can't deal with voice chats sometimes.
Hope they jump on the couple bugs this patch introduced very quickly.
