This is excluding a lot of players and I think they should provide 2 difficulty modes like they have been doing for the last 12 years. Others may disagree but this is my opinion and my feedback and my suggestion.

You seemed fine being against applying that kind of an option to overland for the past several years. Just saying, but that aside NM is normal trial equivalent, and many of the bosses in this piece of content designed for groups are still comparable to existing group content, so yeah, if anything a harder vet mode of NM for organized raids of 12 or even 36 would be awesome. Imagine, coordinated pvp sized zergs fighting bosses that demand that kind of organization and output. That would be awesome, as it stands NM reminds me more of a pug nCR run, everyone is a headless chicken and somehow we win.

It is normal.

If this is the normal mode then where is the veteran? Dungeons and trials always have both modes. Why not this?

Because this is a new mode, something different.

However, we started this year off by noting that we were going to try some new things. Night Market is one of them. While we always provide group players with trials, we also wanted to try something different.

For other zones, there's a "soft cap" where players who port to that zone won't be placed in a "soft capped" instance of that zone. But if you port to a player, you can considerably go above the soft cap (20%? double?). Source: Being at a few high-volume events where we all joined one instance.

Not sure how the night market cap works, but them being overcrowded would cause enemies to be down constantly, which is bad. When I'm in the Market, it feels like my group and some stragglers are the only players in the district, which is much better for finding bosses to kill and never running to a spawn only to miss it.

I main a NB and if you think they are in a bad spot I am not sure what to say. I can name 3 classes that are woefully worse and that's being cynical seeing as DK is probably the ONLY class that ranks higher atm with sorc being close to NB. If any class Needs a Fast pass to rework it is BEYOND a shadow of a doubt Necro.

Necro is definitely stronger than NB.
Necro boasts one of the top three delayed burst damage in the game, and can also gain additional damage buffs and resource recovery through Siphon, not to mention the numerous unnamed damage reduction buffs in Necro's class abilities!

Have you actually played Necro? In this context of "delayed burst" I am guessing you mean PvP.

Have you played necro this patch? If you did, you would know that the corpse mechanic and changes that ZOS did to address server load have made the class the undisputable bottom-most class. Templar is also reaching that level in PvP, but at least it doesn't have a corpse mechanic.

You know, every time I talk about necromancer it's impossible to not mention templar because both neromancer and templar have healing skill lines with purge and similar buffs that have simply lost relevancy outside of group play. Purge not being needed actually makes the class irrelevant, even for tanking purposes

Want to talk about damage reduction? There's a CP star that reduces damage so much it makes necro's class abilities redundant, if you even want to slot them since most aren't even usable or impactful without a corpse.

Then delayed burst. Really, what's that? Blastbones? The skill that doesn't work properly in lag, has the same skill blackout issue (unsable except on mostly flat or flat planes) as most of Arcanists' skills, and gets reduced by major and minor evasion?

There's a reason why no one sees necromancers in PvP much. The other classes we don't see much: templar and arcanist, also have their reasons.

But this isn't the PTS section and unless ZOS asks for my opinion on balance I'm not going to type out 20 pages on those three classes, 8 pages of them would belong to necromancer alone.

Even in the context of tanking in PvP, I would never run necro over DK, warden, NB, arcanist, even templar. it just would never happen. But maybe you know more than I do and know a super-secret build with that special sauce under a loaded cheese pizza.
