Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
The recent AUA on Reddit was just terrible. I can't put it any other way. How you can be so blind and defensive to reasonable feedback regarding consumables and sets is just baffling. I want to be constructive and leave it at that.
Just listen to Skinny Cheeks. He is making valid points and is a longtime standing community member and content creator, so he knows what the community is worried about.

Re: Dungeon Descent Golden Pursuit
This Undaunted-themed Golden Pursuit seems similar to the PvP ones, of which we've had three. The first one had the Mini Siege Mining Customised Action as a reward. Other than that across all three PvP Golden Pursuits so far the only rewards were Gold, Alliance Points, and Tel Var Stones. Perhaps we're actually lucky we get some Seals of Endeavour for this event.
I do question what the point of such lackluster Golden Pursuits is in conjunction with Events. ZOS might as well not bother and roll these rewards into the corresponding Event rewards. It really feels like their only purpose is to try to drum up some renewed interest in the Events for their metrics.

Re: Drop chances for crafting surveys reduced?
I am barely getting any surveys for some reason. I usually get more also.

I think that's part of the point. In PvP no one enjoys being burst down, and in PvE channels feel better because you're doing more consistent damage.

I dont think this is nearly enough. This is about 3% mitigation, if I am not mistaken. This would give 21% resistance to people with 7 pieces against people who are easily stacking 80%+. It's just not enough imo. Maybe 5%
Re: Weekly Trial Rewards at Risk? Leaderboard Changes Could Hurt Most Players (U48)
Crosspost from my reply to the PTS topic about this:
For me the removal of class-based leaderboards is a quality of life downgrade.
I don’t enjoy solo arenas so I only do them once in a while, and then I check which class has a short leaderboard list and do it on an “unpopular” class to get an extra weapon from the arena that happens to be the weekly.
Guess I’ll be doing some farming until U48 drops and then… never do the arenas again.
But for newer players it will make getting an extra weapon from a weekly solo arena more difficult and it will take more runs to complete their stickerbook.
Good point. Yet another reason to keep separate boards for each class.

Re: U48 Release Question
Logically, it wouldn't make sense to delay an entire patch due to an event when the majority of said patch is bug fixes and other base game improvements. What will most likely happen is the patch will drop in 6 weeks, Oct 27th for PC, then access to the eastern part of the zone won't become available until the event is complete. As they said, if you get access to the content pass this event, you still need to beat the western part of the story quests to have access.
My guess is, they can only string players along for 2-3 weeks before it starts to become a nuisance, they've done some calculations based on previous events and player numbers for 2025 to figure out how quickly this event should take. As it gets closer to a server unlocking the zone, they'll try to incentivise competition from the other servers to catch up with website articles. If a server lags too far behind the others, they'll mess with the numbers behind the scenes to pretend they caught up despite all odds.
There is absolutely 0 chance they would only unlock the zone if the event is completed when a server is clearly not going to meet their expectations. Can you imagine being a paying customer on a dead server and not having access to something you already paid for? It would be a PR nightmare. How exactly would that be a positive experience for the player on a dead server? What would be the end goal for that?
They want to make competition and drive engagement, but they don't want to lock you out of content for months at a time to punish you so you can bet they have failsafes for that.
This is all just speculation though, as OP put it, this is something they need to make clear for the playerbase. This isn't the time for guessing games with your 11 year playerbase. I'm seeing players dropping like flies with those patch notes, myself included. They're telling me 2025 is a transitional year, that this is a minor patch and the team is hard at work for 2026, okay, great, so I'll see you in 2026. You already got my money, but you won't get my time.
