The comparison is inevitable, given that both these houses have rooms to unlock through achievements. While in the Hall of the Lunar Champion I found immense spaces beyond the walls, here I found three small, windowless rooms, two of which are hideous, in complete disrepair. I understand they're meant to reflect the spirit of the three factions, but I don't like them. And they're so cramped that it'll be difficult to sweep the trash under the rug...

I've seen people asking for a solo or easier version of NM, why? Especially after the majority of players wanted harder content!

The majority do not want harder content. It was a the same handful of players in the pinned overland thread asking for more difficulty. That is far from the majority of players.

I want to see if we can get some tips and tricks to getting better.

With the wedge that the Night Market has jagged in between casuals player and end game players, maybe we should try to mend that divide.

Personally I'm a casual player, struggling extremely with getting beyond a somewhat mediocre level og combat prowess.

I don't think the game itself teaches you, how to become better, as you hit a certain level, around 50 CP 160, and from then on, its "figure it yourself"

And where this is fine for a lot of players, who actually CAN figure that out, THATS great.

But a lot of us are left behind, without actually knowing how to progress from here.

I think the progression goes something like being able to handle:

• Overland mobs enemies
• Delves mobs and bosses
• World bosses (from the easier to tougher ones)
• Public Dungeons
• 4-player Dungeons(Normal and the Veteran)
• Arenas
• 12-player Trial

(You may think it differently, but thats not the point for this post )
At some point you reach a level, where you stop becoming better, because the game doesn't quite offer progression further.

I can handle somewhere between a normal 4-dungeon and Craglorn.
But when I end up in a normal 4-dungeon, I don't get the chance to learn anything, because someone is ALWAYS rushing through by simply carving and melting through every dungeon I get in.
I can't even get my buffs up, let alone get debuffs on enemies, before they're dead and gone.

Thats the kind of level I wanna reach.
And then at some point go on to Veteran.
And I wanna be able to do PvP aswell, but I don't learn anything from not even getting within range of other players.

I simply don't know how.

So in that spirit, my dear reader:

PLEASE SHARE YOUR TACTICS ON HOW TO GET GUUDER THAN MEDIOCRE
- Not builds (we've seen them all)
- Not rotations (same as with build)
- Not race or classes (doesnt matter)
- Simply tactics and human skills, that makes you melt enemies.
- How did you become an end game player?

Help us all get better, PLEASE.

I get why this sounds like a cool feature, but I don’t think area voice chat really fits an MMO like this, at least on PC.

Voice chat on PC is already covered by things like Discord. It’s basically the standard at this point. People use it because it’s easy, reliable, and you have full control over who you talk to. If you want voice, you just hop into a call with the people you actually want to talk to.

Open-world voice chat sounds nice in theory, but in practice it can get messy fast. In crowded areas it would just turn into noise, and unlike text chat you can’t really ignore it as easily.

And since it would be optional, it risks splitting the player base, some people would use it, but many wouldn’t, which means it wouldn’t become a consistent or dependable way to communicate anyway. Even more than that actually, it can divide groups of friends that already exist into those 2 sides.

Also, voice chat usually means a more direct and longer interaction. If someone wants that, they can already join a Discord call. That extra step kind of matters, because it means everyone there actually wants to talk.

So yeah, I just don’t really see the benefit on PC. The current setup with text chat in-game and voice chat through external apps already works well and gives people more control over how they communicate. To me and many others it would feel very intrusive to get this feature out of nowhere as it was never there for us.

The only issue I see is the mentality of locking oneself out of content they want to play by refusing to group with others. Being a mainly solo player myself, I understand the reason why one does play solo. Simply refusing to group is childish. There's been multiple posts with suggestions on how solo players can do the content, yet you continue to hold your hands up to yours ears. Is it harder solo than not? Yes. Can it be done? Yes.

My guild chose the red ones. The only useful thing in the whole event is the blue monster set. This says something about the developers already. But that's not what I'm here for. Since the appearance of this event, playing on ps4 has become almost impossible. Any content involving NPC enemies turned into a fight with a shadow and teleportation back through the loading screen. They are simply invisible, they cannot be targeted. Archive, dungeons - everything is broken. It's like *** your own players. Thats it. I rly hope it wont return.

There's your problem.

ESO added support for PS5 a while ago, and games are dropping support for last-gen left and right. There are even posts here about how upgrading from PS4 to PS5 made it feel like a whole new game.

Oh, and as for "how about optimization?"
They did that. That was the entire animation pass they did last year was to optimize the game. But 1) that broke a lot of things, and 2) there's only so much optimization that will get this game to run on a console with 8GB RAM, especially if half of that RAM is used for the console OS in the first place.

PS4 is now 12 years old. PS5 is now 6 years old. Most console lifetimes are around 8 years, so yes, PS5 is soon going to be obsolete.
At this point, it needs to be understood that PS4/XB1/Old PCs are no longer able to handle a game in 2026.

The Night Market isn't for me at this time but I love ESO and I don't expect all aspects of this game to cater to my current playstyle, which may very well change over the years ahead.

If it's an either or situation, I would rather someone doing a drive-by hit and run get credit than to deny credit for someone who participated in the entire fight but had the misfortune to die at the end or, as above, was a healer keeping everyone alive and maybe not doing much damage.

To clarify: If the reason for not giving credit to someone who dies right before the boss does is to keep one hit wonders from getting credit. I would rather give credit to everyone than potentially remove credit from someone who actively participated but had bad timing in death.

What can I say? It's a terrible zone. Been there, get killed couple of times, lost interest. It reminds me of the worst places in the game - Craglorn, Imperial City, Nymics... Somehow it's even worse.
If you want it to be played only by elitists who love grouping, then its' fine. Everyone else out.
So - lower the difficulty and make it soloable (just do it like in dungeons - normal mode and veteran mode). If not I think it will be a dead zone in a week and you are exluding 90% of playerbase.
Shame because I thing the feeling of the zone is great. I'd love to spend some time there. But not in current state. I play for fun not frustration.

• Does ZoS have plans to turn ESO into something like a Dark Souls-style game?
• Do they have any plan to push solo players out of the game?

If yes, please tell us, because I will definitely stop playing ESO. I refuse to keep playing and paying for ESO Plus if this is the direction the game is going. I wouldn’t like that and I don’t want that, so is there any plan from ZoS to push solo players out?

We are getting overland difficulty, and that is completely fine because we will have the option to choose it. But will future releases and seasons all be like this, purely increased difficulty everywhere?

Please be honest. Is there any plan to push solo players out?

edit:
And please don’t respond with something like: “We will add more group content to the game,” because that is, without question, welcome. What I want to know is whether solo players will once again be excluded from participating in these “events,” or if they will still be able, once again, to take part as solo players.
