If so, so many players gonna quit PvP. Cyrodil is already dead. And all you see in BG is DK dkdkdkdkdkdkdkd and another dking DK.
Since the DK update I have completely stopped PvP. And necro close to being unplayable ain’t helping at bringing me back to the game.
This year they doing Class Updates and they going to update the Necromancer too it is coming 💪💪
For now the necro update is winter 2027, and I completely don't understand why the devs chose this order, this paid class is completely destroyed, and needs a refresh asap.
For years we have been asking for this, and then when the class refresh is announced, we are last on the list, a complete insult to us!
Right now as I said earlier, I am about to stop playing the game if the necro refresh is not moved to this year, and if they don't see reason, then I am out. I don't see why I should continue to give money for nothing in return. And as there is a lot of time until winter 2027, many things can happen until then, and we might never see that refresh looking at the world situation right now.

It took as an absolutely massive nerf with the Damage Done changes and has not been buffed in any way since the original PTS Notes.
The ratio of power provided by Rakkhat to Empower in U49 vs. U50 is going to be astronomical for the worse.
Adding to this, can Rakkhat's Voidmantle be adjusted to work with Werewolf? It was set to "non-Ultimate" Light and Heavy Attacks because of the interaction with Overload, but Werewolf got hit in the crossfire. This set cannot be used with Werewolf Light and Heavy Attacks because they technically count as Ultimate Light and Heavy Attacks.
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Feedback #6 (officially)
Today I'm focused on starting my journey with pugging. At ~7pm, I found that group finder listings are quickly getting delisted and quickly getting put up, so there's quite a bit of activity there! I do wish there were subsections to the group finder though. One for opulent ordeal, one for dungeons, and one for overland.
I'm surprised that most of these groups are very specific rather than exploratory but that also makes a lot more sense than them being mostly exploratory.
For The Parch skirmish, people are taking to just dealing with the enrage by keeping the melee boss out of the circle. Also, most of the group got eaten by the duneripper when skirmish was almost dead... they didn't get the skirmish completion loot when they got back out of the duneripper. This group shared Plaza quests when I joined, which was nice.
Night Market is showing some problems with two systems though:
- The announcement pop-ups... the blood on the sands incrementally increasing by ONE makes it so the Skirmish instructions don't show up in time
- It seems like it'd be useful if there was an option to create a rolling group finder listing, where it re-activates when someone leaves.
I did the sorrow's friend "dungeon" with a guildie (and 2 other people-- I don't know from where). It is cool but also disappointing that it's Ansuul but dungeon... I do hope we get hard modes later. I think the difficulty is in a good spot though because you need these to do the trial.
The parch's "dungeon" was way harder, I liked that one. Can you tell I'm partial to Thurvokun?
The house doesn't have enough slots without eso+ to put all the reward furnishings in.

Re: Can't launder pickpocketed Guild Citations from Mara boxes
LOL. I mean, I dont think anyone's looking at this issue anyway. Reported on FEB 12th, numerous players have tagged individuals who could bring this to someone's attention that could review at least, if not correct it. We've made Bug Report post, send in tickets. The whole point of this thread is to bring attention to a issue hoping someone can resolve it. Giving a warning or deleting the post does not incentive players to make reports in the future. I know if I find some other bug, issue or whatever, I wont bother reporting if this is the result.
Whats the point of the PTS
Night market buggy bosses don't die ability's don't work an new mythic broken as hell. Why have it seems like wasted recourses?

Event Zones are new.
They are not instanced content;
ergo, just one mode.
So, in other words,
no split by difficulty.
Same challenge for all.
Re: [Bug] 'Fractured Facets' Achievement - Faceted Foes may have stopped spawning in Night Market
tomofhyrule wrote: »I did get one empty Duneripper instance once, but I can confirm that faceted are nowhere to be seen.
I'm wondering based on OP's thought that this might be related to the fact that the Reapers stopped spawning in zones if this could actually be related to one of the biggest pain points with the Night Market - the fact that so many instances seem empty.
I assume the game logic is to spread players across all instances of zones as evenly as possible to keep server calculations on the lower end. However, if the Night Market is not spinning up new instances (and therefore also not closing others), that means we're likely to have entirely too many active instances, which means the game's logic is trying to spread the players too thinly and that's why nobody's able to zerg surf.
Essentially, it seems to be favoring spreading 300 players as 3 each in 100 instances instead of 30 each in 10.
That logic may be the root of the problem. And if Faceted only spawn once in an instance, that would explain why none are being seen anymore.
I second the look into how the instances are being handled. Too many low populated instances could be as bad for performance as ones that are too full.
Re: Concerns About ESO’s Future Direction and Solo Player Experience
- 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?
To answer the core questions asked:
Q: Does ZoS have plans to turn ESO into something like a Dark Souls-style game?
A: No.
Q:Do they have any plan to push solo players out of the game?
A: No.
Just following up here generally. We hear the feedback from solo players about the Night Market content. We want to follow up with just few things.
We have no intention of pushing solo players out of the game. 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. This was not to alienate solo players, but rather to add a new way to play. That being said, we do hear the feedback and have passed that on our teams for future consideration, especially for when Night Market comes back later in the year. Remember, part of the ethos of this event is to add to it over time.
As several have noted in this thread as well, we have a roadmap that is publicly available. The point of the roadmap is to showcase the content we have coming throughout the year. As is noted on the roadmap and current PTS testing, we have plenty of solo friendly content as well. Thieves Guild and Sheogorath Questlines, Favors system, Rumors system, Two Solo Dungeons, Sage's Vault, and the list can keep going. And that is all on top of existing content. We also understand that not every piece of content will be for everyone, and that is okay.
We know this may come off as a contentious statement, but it does bear repeating. While we are an Elder Scrolls game, we are also an MMO. Storytelling and the heart of solo adventure will always be an important part of ESO. However, some of our event/ event zone content will be focused on encouraging group play. It is the nature of the genre. Additionally, we know just like there are players who come for solo content, there are also players who come for group content and challenging group content. So we want to make sure we are providing new things for them as well.
We'll close with this. Last year, we saw many threads throughout the year asking us to address content and find new ways of renewing the gameplay experience, both in variety and challenge. We are in the first passes of this now with items like Night Market going live. But we will have content throughout the year to address both solo and group play within the community. The feedback is helpful to steer us on the right track. So thanks to everyone, both solo players and group players, who have given their constructive feedback regarding the Night Market. The team is taking a look at what can be done during this current running and what can be adjusted for the next run of the Night Market.
ZOS, I hope you continue to stay on the path you've chosen. I really like the approach you've chosen for this year (and hopefully for future years, too). I can only wish you huuuuge patience and endurance xdd

Re: Why is everyone so adverse to grouping for NM?
rockDokRock wrote: »OccultNerd wrote: »So....I generally play solo, I group up for trials/end etc but that's it. I play solo because I don't need a group for normal overland content,wbs, public dungeons etc.. I'm not an elitist, my DPS isn't amazing but I get on fine for the content I play.
Along comes Night Market...you need to group/follow a group/ sneak etc.. no problem, it was advertised as group content.
What I don't understand is why so many players refuse to group up and then come to the forums or FB groups and moan because they expected to do solo NM and they can't, so that's it they are quitting....what is they actual issue? Why won't these players join a team?
I've seen people asking for a solo or easier version of NM, why? Especially after the majority of players wanted harder content!
It's not so much being adverse to grouping... it's the fact it's like herding cats and watching everyone just wanders off in their own direction with their own idea as to how this is going to work out. Spoiler alert... not great.
At that point just join a new group or make a group listing yourself (it will fill, I promise).
It takes 5 seconds to leave group and join a new listing, and I promise that you will find a listing where everyone is traveling together.
