I avoided ToT for a long time and only started it because of Zerith - I now enjoy it. "Working as intended" I would say.

But I am not an expert player at all, and I am not grinding for the whole quest line, so my disappointment is more about the other rewards locked behind it: the dog, the dye, etc... BUT obviously I get it, there needs to be rewards tied to ToT, so I'm not gonna complain.

has anyone done it? im hundreds of maps, millions of gold, more grand trees than anyone could use, and many hours of my life deep. i have had only one codex left to collect for the last 200ish maps and nothing. they really like to stick it to us housing people i guess. there aren't even enough maps in circulation for more than one person in the game to attempt this at a time.
what a joke and thanks for listening.

I would have, but I already did it. It sucked.

... took me 8 hours to win one stupid game by luck.
i will never touch this cardgame again...

Makes sense. In 4v4v4 most people queued for the pvp, so they kept at it despite the meager rewards. In two-teams players leave as soon as they get whatever shinies were used to lure them into situations like this:

Destruction of Battlegrounds Chapter 95: Waiting 20 minutes for a lopsided match (Solo 8v8 PC/NA)

Excuse me, but what fantasy world are you living in?

Easily over half the people in 4v4v4 tried their absolute best to avoid PvP as much as possible. That was literally the main thing that people complained about regarding 4v4v4s.

The rewards in 4v4 and 8v8 are still trash except for the transmutes that most people who frequently play BGs now have way too many of.

Also it would be nice if you provided a time of day for your BG queues. Or just start playing more than 1 char abusing heals

ZOS, maybe we could be given the ability to include class abilities when in werewolf form? Maybe a max of two non-werewolf abilities? Imagine a werewolf with Noxious Breath or the poison claw from DK or a werewolf that spits Abyssal Flail like that horrifying non-combat bunny lol

No. I don't want to run Fatecarver.

Then.....don't? Is Mora forcing you? Blink 800 times if you need help!

Here's a few more nuanced reasons why Werewolf should never get to use non-Werewolf abilities (and vice-versa):

1. There is no precedent for werewolves in TES to use human form spells, much less wield weaponry (such as the daggers/bows in the Assassination line).
2. If players could use Class skills in Werewolf form, then everyone would be using meta skills in Werewolf form solely for the passives (+18% WD/SD is too much to pass up...)
3. Each of those skills has no animation for the Werewolf form. ZOS would have to create a Werewolf version of every single ability animation in the game for this to work, much less look right.
4. The identity of Werewolf would be lost. Instead of using Werewolf skills for damage dealing, healing, or tanking, you could use non-Werewolf skills which happen to be superior.
5. Werewolf's passives would be nerfed or given a "for each Werewolf ability slotted" condition to balance for any ability being usable in Werewolf form, which ultimately makes no sense.

If I wanted to play an MMO where the werewolf people are no different than civilized humans, I can find one. ESO (and TES in general) is special because the werewolves act how you'd expect a werewolf to act. They're savage beasts who feed on the flesh of their prey. Werewolf Behemoths are still savage beasts, but they also have elemental magic.

If anything, Werewolf needs more Werewolf-exclusive abilities to help them stand out from the human form, which can cover many of the bases that human form abilities cover, but in a way that is still thematic and unique to Werewolf. Scribing Grimoires for the Werewolf skill line would serve this purpose well.


EDIT: To add to the above, I really just want to stress that I enjoy the fact that Werewolf still has its own meta in the post-Subclassing environment. Don't get me wrong, Werewolf has no place in the competitive meta (the human form has access to skills which do what Werewolf does but better) but it's still exciting to build around Werewolf's unique toolkit. As a result, the Werewolf meta generally uses totally different sets than whatever the non-Werewolf meta builds use.

I know we don't have to play the meta, but I like to see how far I can push the performance of the Werewolf playstyle, and I'm glad it doesn't play the same as the overall meta.

We're allowed to *raise* the bid as many times as we want, why can't we *lower*?

(and yes, I've made this suggestion multiple times over the years)

Lowering a bid would remove the point of bidding. Then it is haggling.

People would change their bid right before the hammer falls.

They are blind bids, you have no legitimate way of knowing who else has bid or how much, so lowering a bid would be functionally the same as only ever having bid that lower amount. Nothing gets resolved or calculated until trader flip time.

Nope, I don't care for the event and never have. I have zero interest in dungeons, so I just continue with my usual dailies.
