techandjunk: The Elder Scrolls Online - Dark Brotherhood Changes!

This is by no means all of the changes but here are some highlights:

New Motifs
The Thieves Guild, Abah’s Watch, and Assassins League crafting styles are now available to craft.

You’ll be able to find the Chapters (or rarely, the full Book) for the Thieves Guild crafting style in the Unidentified Equipment boxes obtained as a reward for performing Heists to the Thieves Guild's highest standards.

The Style Item, "Fine Chalk", or its component "Rough Chalk", can be found in some Thieves Troves.

The Abah's Watch inimitable style is also now available for crafters to learn, and can find the Chapters (or rarely, the full Book) in the Large Laundered Shipments obtained from the repeatable quests found in the Thieves Guild hideout.

The Style Item, a "Polished Shilling", can sometimes be found by pickpocketing any guard throughout the world (not just in Abah's Landing!).

The Assassins League style is available for aspiring assassins, and chapters can be found by defeating bosses in the Gold Coast area.

The Style Item, "Tainted Blood" can be refined from Dried Blood, obtained solely from use of the Blade of Woe.
One's ability to harvest blood from kills with the Blade of Woe is dependent both on their knowledge of the Assassins League style, and their rank in the Dark Brotherhood.

Dark Brotherhood Loyalty Reward: Personality
The first collectible personality, the Assassin, is available by purchasing the Dark Brotherhood DLC game pack and visiting the Gold Coast! Using this will allow you to take on a new attitude by changing the way you stand, move, and even emote.

Item Sets
In this update, you’ll be able to obtain some new item sets from a variety of sources:

There are 3 item sets that are obtained from participating in content from the Gold Coast:

Sithis’ Touch
Flanking Strategist
Hide of Morihaus

There are also 3 new crafted item sets available from crafting stations located in the Gold Coast:

Pelinal’s Aptitude
Varen’s Wall
Kvatch Gladiator

Four new PvP-based item sets available from the Tel Var Stone vendors in Imperial City, including:

Galerion’s Revenge
Vicecanon of Venom
Thews of the Harbinger
Imperial Physique

New Mementos
Swear a blood oath or perform the ritual of the Black Sacrament itself with new mementos that can be unlocked by playing through the Dark Brotherhood content.

New Titles
In this update, you’ll be able to obtain 3 new titles:

Silencer: Complete the Dark Brotherhood quest line to take your place as a Silencer.
Bane of the Gold Coast: Defeat Limenauruus the possessed minotaur, enter the Kvatch Arena and stand victorious, explore Hrota Cave and Garlas Agea, and complete the majority of the quests in the Gold Coast to earn this title.
Ophidian Overlord: Completing Veteran Sanctum Ophidia while the Trial is scaled to Champion 160 to earn this exclusive new title.

Veteran Rank Removal
Veteran Ranks have been completely removed from the game in this update! Your strength after level 50 is now simply your number of Champion Points. As Champion Points are gained much faster than Veteran Ranks, this will allow you to advance more rapidly and start getting the best gear in the game faster.

You’ll keep all your hard-earned attribute and skill points you received from gaining Veteran Ranks, and new players will instead earn them while leveling up to level 50.

You will receive 2 points every level that ends in a 5
You will receive 3 points every level that ends in a 10
You will continue to get 1 point for levels 2-49

You will receive 10 Champion Points as soon as you hit level 50 if your account doesn’t have any Champion Points already.
We will be awarding a one-time bonus of 2.5 Champion Points per Veteran Rank gained on your highest level character when you first log in when Dark Brotherhood is released!

Each Veteran Rank will grant 2.5 Champion Points, up to a maximum of 40 points at VR16.

Reaching level 50 with a second character means you can immediately equip gear up to your account’s Champion Point value since Champion Points are shared across all characters on an account.
Old Veteran Rank Items and monsters will now display Champion Points.

For items, this describes the number of Champion Points required to equip them.
For monsters, the number of Champion Points describes the monster’s strength.

Every Veteran Rank is equivalent to 10 Champion Points.

For example: A monster that used to be VR12 will now be Champion Point 120.

Monsters will now scale up faster in difficulty through veteran zones.
Experience gain rules will continue to function as they did for Veteran Ranks:

Mobs 40 Champion Points below your level will grant 75% of their normal XP.
Mobs 50 or more Champion Points below your level will grant 30% of their normal XP.

Abilities no longer increase their cost by 1% per Veteran Rank, but will now increase at their normal rate for every 10 Champion points, up to a cap of 160.

Most abilities will cost about the same, but cost reduction abilities should return more predictable results.
Core mechanics (sprint, dodge, block, CC break) will now be slightly more expensive.

Silver and Gold zones have been releveled to account for the increased speed at which you gain Champion Points.
The Champion Point cap will remain at 501 for this update.
The Character Select screen now indicates how many Champion Points your account has.
Item tooltips have been updated to support the removal of Veteran Ranks.

Level requirements for items previously referencing Veteran Ranks will now reference Champion.
Gold Value has been moved to the bottom of the tooltip.

Guild, Friends, and Group lists now display Champion Points for anyone above level 50, rather than their Veteran Rank.
The XP bar has been modified to show Champion progression after hitting level 50.
Loot history will now include the enlightenment bonus when showing XP gains.

Poison-Making
You can now use the Alchemy system to create a wide array of dangerous poisons! Using new and existing reagents mixed together in a new type of solvent (oils), these poisons can be equipped alongside wielded weapon sets and have a chance to be applied to your enemy during each heavy or light attack of the associated weapon(s).

Poisons, unlike other equipped items, are consumed as they are applied.
Poisons are also subject to dilution, with each effect becoming less potent as more effects are added.
Oils are sourced from various deadly monsters throughout Tamriel.
The new reagents have been added to many critters and monsters throughout Tamriel, and create multiple new effects for both potions and poisons.
While a weapon set has a poison equipped, any weapon enchantments on that weapon set are temporarily suppressed.

Master’s Weapons and Maelstrom Weapons have their unique-ability modifying effect suppressed, while their stat bonus is not suppressed.

Weapon tooltips have been updated to support poisons.

When a poison is equipped, the weapon enchant and charge will be suppressed and replaced by the poison description and count.

Added indicators for Armor Durability, and Weapon Charge/Poison.

On a side note: When any piece of equipped armor is broken, an indicator will appear near the ability bar.
When a weapon for your current weapon set has no poisons equipped and runs out of weapon charge, an indicator will appear near the ability bar.

Grouping Tool Improvements
The Grouping Tool has undergone additional improvements for this update. We’ve taken steps to address disruptive behavior with this tool, such as leaving a group as soon as the dungeon starts or abusing the power of group leader by removing friendly players.

You can now initiate a Ready Check to ask your group if everyone is ready (no need to jump up and down anymore!)

A Ready Check will pass if everyone responds yes, fail if someone says no, and fail if it times out. The option to initiate a Ready Check is present in the Group Menu.
You can type /readycheck into chat to initiate a check.

Groups can vote to kick party members

In order to initiate a vote, the option can be found by right clicking a player character’s name in the group UI.
A vote to kick ultimately requires a majority vote and can be initiated by anyone in the group. A 4-player group thus requires 3 votes to remove someone.
Leaders of groups formed through the Grouping Tool can no longer disband the group or remove other group members.

Added a 15-minute cooldown to re-queueing once you have successfully formed a group.

Completing the activity you queued for will reset the timer. If you join a group in progress and kill the final boss 4 minutes later, your timer clears. You don’t then have to wait another 11 minutes.
The cooldown will be displayed in the group UI at the bottom when trying to queue for a dungeon.

This is all part of an ongoing process to continue to improve the Grouping Tool – look for additional improvements in future updates!

Item Trait Improvements
Item Traits have undergone revision to improve the viability and balance of each Trait. Some Traits have received complete redesigns, other Traits have gained new effects and bonuses, while some other Traits have simply received better number tuning.

Weapons

Charged: This trait now increases your chance to apply status effects instead of increasing the amount of enchantment charges on your weapon.
Defending: This trait now increases your Physical Resistance and Spell Resistance by flat values instead of percentages.
Infused: This trait now also reduces the cooldown on your weapon enchantment in addition to increasing its damage.
Intricate: This trait now also increases the amount of refined materials you obtain whenever you deconstruct the weapon, in addition to increasing the amount of inspiration gained.
Nirnhoned: This trait now increases the damage of the weapon.
Powered: This trait now increases your healing done instead of reducing the cooldown on your weapon enchantment.
Sharpened: This trait now increases your Physical Penetration and Spell Penetration by flat values instead of percentages.
Training: This trait now increases all experience gained from all kills by a percentage instead of increasing your weapon skill line experience only.
Weighted: This trait now grants you a chance to gain additional Ultimate whenever you generate Ultimate normally, and has been renamed to Decisive.

Armor

Exploration: This trait now increases all gold gained from monster kills instead of increasing exploration experience gained, and has been renamed to Prosperous.
Impenetrable: This trait now also reduces the durability damage taken of the item, in addition to reducing the damage taken from Critical Hits.
Intricate: This trait now also increases the amount of refined materials you obtain whenever you deconstruct the armor, in addition to increasing the amount of inspiration gained.
Nirnhoned: This trait now increases Physical Resistance and Spell Resistance by a flat value.
Sturdy: This trait now reduces the cost of Block.
Training: This trait now increases all experience gained from all kills by a percentage, instead of increasing your armor skill line experience only.
Well-fitted: This trait now also reduces the cost of Roll Dodge, in addition to reducing the cost of Sprint.

Craft Bags
ESO Plus members will now receive access to the Craft Bag.

Craft Bags are an additional inventory section which does not count against your inventory limit, is shared across all characters on the account, and can hold an effectively unlimited number of all basic crafting supplies.
If your membership expires, you will still have access to the resources stored in your Craft Bag, but you will be unable to add any new materials to it.
Loot that goes to your Craft Bag has a special call out in the Loot History.
Crafting Materials from your inventory and account bank will automatically go to the Craft Bag upon login.
Items can be manually retrieved from the Craft Bag in maximum stacks of 200. Retrieved items can also be manually stowed back into the Craft Bag.

Item Locking
Equipment can now be locked to prevent accidental deletions, which will prevent you from destroying it, converting it to Imperial, and marking it as junk.

If playing using a keyboard/mouse, right-click the item and select Lock. In Gamepad mode, press Y/Triangle on an item to bring up Actions for that item, then select Lock.
Locking an item will remove it from the following:

Vendor – Sell
Guild Store – List
Trade
Mail – Send Mail
Guild Bank - Deposit
Craft Stations – All sections

The list of available item actions has also been reordered to put more commonly used actions towards the top.

General

Abilities that heal based on their damage done (Strife, Puncturing Sweeps, etc.) will no longer “double dip” in the Critical Strike modifier.

The damage from these abilities can still Critically Strike, but the healing will no longer be able to roll for an additional Critical Strike chance.

All pets and summons will now have 5000 additional health in PvP areas.
Break Free no longer removes or provides immunity to silence effects.

This change mainly applies to the Negate Magic player ability, as most content and monster-based silence effects were already unbreakable.

Charge abilities, such as Focused Charge and Shield Charge, will now fire more reliably.
Fixed an issue where you were able to block the damage over time from various player abilities, such as Poison Arrow or Unstable Flame.
Fixed an issue where players were able to cast some abilities, such as Regeneration, without respect to the global cooldown.
Fixed an issue where the resource return values from Heavy Attacks were not scaling upwards after level 50.
Fixed numerous ability tooltips for grammar, spelling, and formatting. Any significant tooltip revisions will be called out specifically below.
Fixed numerous issues with abilities displaying incorrect or placeholder icons in the Active Effects window, or with the bufftrackers of various player-created addons.
Fixed an issue that was causing the initial staff animation for Rapid Regeneration and several other spells to fire off twice in rapid succession.
Ability costs are now color coded in the tooltip.

Magicka costs are light blue
Stamina costs are yellow-green
