Re: Night Market - Week One Notes
I don’t understand the criticism about social interaction. In most of the groups I’ve been in many people don’t say a word. You can think of playing in a group as having 11 companions. They just help you with hit points and damage. And you can make them go away when the quest is finished.
Edit: The 11 Companions would be a great guild name!

Re: Addressing U50 PTS Combat & Ability Concerns
It isn't terribly shocking that grim focus is a bit of a mess for balance, it is extremely high burst, and a bit of a pubstomper skill. Shifting some of the damage around so its less pure burst could do a lot to make it less punishing, esp. now that we can all bank two shots to delete someone with.
I'd go for something like 70% direct damage 30% 4 second dot instead of 100% direct like we have now, but a bonus damage proc on light/heavy attacks could work too, since the nb has to weave to generate stacks to spend on the bow shot; if slotting merciless made your light attacks trigger an extra X damage proc and your fully charged heavy attacks an extra 2X proc, you could lower the burst of the final arrow by 5X, with the nb would gaining slightly higher sustained damage but not dramatically changed overall dps.

Re: Melee Staff
They don't even need to add a new skill line for that. Just add 1 or 2 more skills to each weapon tree and one or both of the staff ones could be stamina costing melee skills. One single target strike and a sweeping multi target strike, maybe?

I mean I voted classes but I don't want them thinking this one note. I want multiple things each year
Re: Was it ever considered to simply disable Malevolent Promise if Corpseburster is worn or vice versa?
Corpsebuster's damage doesnt even reach force shock in pvp so I doubt you can find ''groups of pure class necromancers'' going around spending a GCD on this set. Not to mention this passive occurs every 2 seconds and in a big fight its not even going to be on the same enemy

Re: Addressing U50 PTS Combat & Ability Concerns
Builds having extreme damage, sustain, and survivability has always been an issue in ESO. Since when has anything been done about that?
Re: I Don't LIke The Night Market Update
Not quite sure why you believe Cyrodiil has anything to do with this? This is a PvE update targeted at people who enjoy group content in PvE (and is even starting to grow in popularity with the casuals/soloists as they realize grouping can sometimes be fun too).
I am not sure why people keep saying there are no groups. Even on console PS/NA there's 15+ listings for Night Market even on weekday evenings and once you join one of them it takes hardly any time at all for it to fill up completely.

Once you have the achievement that grants the furnishing box, which should have it inside.
I think the vendor option is there in case something goes wrong with the delivery mail (or if people happen to look there first rather than taking or opening the box).

Minor timidity you get from this mythic should apply out of combat so gankers cant run around with 500 ulti at all times

I think some folks have had a bad experience because not every group is pleasant. Some are very selective and will kick you or avoid you if you do not meet their gear or skills standards. (gatekeeping is real)
Asocial people might find public rejection confusing or difficult to not take personally. They want to experience the Night Market and maybe they want the house, but they are loathed to risk that aggressive behavior that sometimes comes with dealing with strangers. (You can see the aggression in the fora. Imagine what it might be like for them in the game chat where the Devs don't see it.)
The house rewards are often viewed as a great reward by those that do not decorate because they give a quick access to various countries on the map for new characters that had not been there.
On the bad side, the Night Market was billed as an event for everyone when it was introduced. While that bill has been toned down, it still rings in the minds of the players that heard it. If the Night Market had been billed as a new approach to a trial dungeon, this whole scene would have been different. The controversy with solo players would not be.
Maybe there is some gatekeeping in vet dungeons and trials but it’s an overreach to say there is gatekeeping in Night Market pickup groups. It sounds like the anxiety you are describing is from people’s past experiences or biases. Then they decide in advance they don’t like the Night Market.
