Re: Do you feel that the ZOS devs have been honest about the original intent of the Vengeance Campaign?
Perhaps the results of the first test round(s) surprised them as to the source and scope of the problem and their initial ideas had to be reassessed and it turned out that GH as it stands is not fixable as far as allowing large player numbers with acceptable performance on the server side. Just a thought.
Investigations of problems do not always yield the answers one wants to hear. And sometimes those results require a significant change in what was originally thought to be a viable solution.

Re: Why does ESO look like this?
if you read through the responses, you'll see that many ppl like it just the way it is. thankfully there are things like reshade for ppl who like it other ways.
are you sure you don't need glasses?
I've played around with those settings you mentioned and the game does absolutely still have a "fog filter" on top of everything. ESO is not the only culprit, of course.
but even after viewing this on multiple monitors and my phone, I think they still look much better than the default, which presents a grey fog and muddier textures no matter what.
It's like taking the Mona Lisa and putting it behind foggy glass.
Well, you're free to enjoy foggy blandness I suppose.

Re: ESO Writing Team: Please...stop it.
On a related topic, the SHEER NUMBER OF TYPOS that made it through to Live in the dialogue transcriptions is disheartening. I know ZOS/Bethesda/Zenimax/Microsoft currently has a mania for cutting jobs despite being spectacularly profitable, but copy editors actually matter. They keep you from looking unprofessional.

I even did some brief research and there's examples of the phrase being used back to at least the 16th century. The phrase tends to show up in Online (yes, and in the base game from back in 2014), but even Arena had "I cook and stuff" as a possible greeting for a chef.
I really, truly do not care a whit about vernacular, since this ain't period, pals--it's a medieval aesthetic but not literally medieval. If vernacular breaks your immersion maybe your impression of what's immersive is infinitesimal.

Re: Vengeance Needs Incentive to get More Players to Join
I don't know about this solution, but if they're going to have pop caps so high, they definitely need to find some way to disincentivize joining on a faction that has a large population imbalance in its favor and incentivize joining one at a disadvantage.
I may think the imbalances possible in the Live version of Cyrodiil are really unhealthy and unenjoyable, but these population imbalances are every bit as bad.

Re: Proposal for Improving ESO’s Trading System
I don’t see how Guild Traders survive with an Auction House.
In games with an Auction House, people viciously undercut others, and prices tank, except for the rarest items. This happened at a much lesser degree with Guild Traders, before Add-Ons told people how to price their gear.
I’d rather not encourage our devs to artificially push loot scarcity on us to breathe life into a system we don’t need.
Funny, the source threads (that I linked in the original post) actually tell a different story:It's fine as it is.
Going fully centralized would destroy only true gold sink in the game and skyrocket inflation instantly. Official search site would be nice if Path of Exile could do it then ESO could too. Best if you could do it within the game for a small gold fee so we would control the gold sink a little bit more.
Suck for the buyer, yes, but I think its healthy for the game's economy in the long run. What I would change is to simply add more trader spots in lesser map settlements and move those absolutely in middle of nowhere that nobody without an addon even thinks to visit on their own.
It seems like these “prices will tank” or “prices will skyrocket” arguments are more fear of change than reality. I actually went through the threads, gathered data, ran a poll, and weighed the options. The two-part system I’m proposing is a compromise that addresses concerns from both sides while keeping the economy intact.
Did you read only half of what I wrote?
Here’s the other half for you.I don’t see how Guild Traders survive with an Auction House.
In games with an Auction House, people viciously undercut others, and prices tank, except for the rarest items. This happened at a much lesser degree with Guild Traders, before Add-Ons told people how to price their gear.
“except for the rarest items”
Prices will plummet on everything desirable that is easily sourced, but the items that aren’t, will skyrocket.
I’m growing weary of the constant hyperbole. Every suggestion to improve a clearly flawed system is met with cries that prices will tank or inflation will explode or some other "the sky is falling" claim.
Did you miss my point that the global trader would cost more? The higher listing fees naturally regulate participation and prevent market collapse.
This proposal is not meant to be the end-all solution. It is a set of suggestions intended to prompt thought on how to improve a broken system that currently only works because third-party add-ons carry the burden.
The two-part system preserves guild traders, maintains the economy, and gives smaller guilds and casual players a fair path to participate.
Are you trying to have a conversation or to tell us why your opinion is right and none of our opinions matter? Conversation involves listening or in this case, reading. And in good faith, not trying to pick apart posts for individual half sentences that fit the narrative you’re trying to push.
I’m learning a lot about who you are as a forum poster through these past few threads of yours.
Thank you.
Need clarification of ZOS Staff member Roles
I have seen several instances of ZOS staff being asked to do things that are not part of their roles. For instance I have seen @ZOS_Kevin referred to as a Moderator when he is actually a Community Manager with a LOT of responsibilities, but moderating posts isn't one of them. (As far as I know.)
Then I have seen forum Moderators tagged to check on tickets, which I believe is not one of their responsibilities. As far as I know their job is to keep forum posters compliant with the posting guidelines.
Is there something somewhere that defines all the staff roles, at least enough so posters know who to approach for what?

people talking about how its so much fun in zone while the map stays stagnant, EP is three bars in, everyone else is two bar, and DC has so few players that have played thus far that the leaderboard has only counted 77 players.
On pc na at this hour, when there's only one campaign available, these numbers are very bad. Even for the first day of a campaign which typically is one of the most active regardless of the weekday. All factions are locked out normally, which I know they raised the cap for this test, 300 per faction, but 77 dc only on the leaderboard counters any arguments about the pop lock increase.
AD's is at 82, and EP is the only faction that has 100 recorded which matches the logic of what the bars show.
Assuming the bars are accurate representation of the pop, which I think it is due to the leaderboards' telling numbers, this is a pretty bad day one even for a wednesday in pc na.
Gaping flaw in your premise. Maybe if you actually PvPed you know what the flaw was.
Lol. What??
