Re: (Xbox) Don't play this game if your goals involve endgame group content
Xbox NA is functionally dead. Yes there are plenty of people on but the large majority of players treat the game like a Skyrim adjacent chat room sit in Riften all day, maybe do a few normal dungeons some writs and log off. Not that there's a problem with that its just if you looking for too do harder group content there are less and less of those types of players on now days and less everyday.

In any way, you lose material in the process. How is that a reward?
They do occasionally drop master writs as well. Not often, but it happens.
I think they can also drop other crafting-related rewards, such as style materials, survey reports, and crafting motif pages-- in short, anything the golden crafting coffers can drop during the event, but at a much lower chance.

Re: Are You Enjoying Phase 1 of the Writhing Wall Event?
So... I did three of the dailies (the siege camps, the souls and the crafting) until I ran out of quests.
Then I opened the boxes and took screenshots of each one.
These are the 18 boxes that I opened. These are the 'once in a lifetime' rewards that you get for the dailies.
I pretty much deconstructed everything, sold the rest, learned the style page and the Haj Motas and ignored the rest.
I did get one motif page, but that was from the siege camp reward, and it took 15-20 camps to get it.
For a 'once in a lifetime' event... this is sad. Really, really sad.
From now on I'm just popping in to get the golden chests and that will it for the day.

Worm cult champions
I know there are more than 15 on the list so you dont need them all for the WC Champ achievement, but there are a couple that are very very very rare.
I have done at least 60 camp quests on 3 accounts and a few more than that and there are two champs that never seem to spawn
Watcher Zbarvin and Scamp Champion Doov.
I think they have spawned at least one time as I do know ONE person that somehow has them but I have never seen them. It seems to always be the same ones

Re: PTS Update 47 - Feedback Thread for Naj-Caldeesh Dungeon
Here’s according to the template
Did you enjoy this new dungeon?
No. This dungeon felt like an unbalanced nightmare.
How did the difficulty compare to existing dungeons on Normal and Veteran versions?
On Normal it was far more difficult than any existing dungeon — practically impossible to complete, even with good builds and companions. It feels harder than Veteran, which makes no sense.
Did you complete Normal or Veteran (or both)?
We could not complete Normal.
Which was your favorite boss in this dungeon, and why?
None, because we couldn’t progress far enough — the balance prevented us from experiencing the dungeon properly.
What level and build was the character you used?
We had strong builds and companions, and we’ve cleared all other dungeons together as a duo. Still, this one was impossible.
Did you happen to notice or find anything particularly interesting or different?
Yes — the design feels like it was released unfinished and untested, at least on Normal difficulty.
Do you have any other general feedback?
Making a dungeon unbeatable on Normal is not acceptable. I’m talking about the basic run (without musical trials), and yet we couldn’t progress. At night, it’s impossible for us to find a full group of four people, so the dungeon is simply inaccessible. Our evening was ruined because of this imbalance.

Re: PTS Update 47 - Feedback Thread for Naj-Caldeesh Dungeon
This dungeon is an unbalanced nightmare.
On normal difficulty it’s unbeatable, and we had good builds and companions.
It’s just too much.
This isn’t veteran difficulty, what the hell.
My girlfriend and I have completed every dungeon together, but today this one turned out to be impossible.
It’s unbalanced, as if it was released unfinished and without checking what difficulty it actually works on.
That’s not normal — making an unbeatable dungeon on normal difficulty.

Re: LIGHTWEIGHT FURS is wasting time with such a low drop rate
See and this right here exemplifies why this event design is so bad. Because the quests make players compete against each other for PVE kills you have players trying to keep their grinding spots secret. A well designed event would encourage players to share tips and help each other to have a better/easier time playing the event. Instead we've got people actively trying to keep other players from figuring out how to complete the quests more easily because it might make it take slightly longer for them to complete their own quests.Lots of giant snakes (and guar) in Shadowfen in the watery areas north of Deep Graves.spartaxoxo wrote: »LootAllTheStuff wrote: »I discovered last night that Guar and Giant Snakes also drop animal fat, which expands the places you can get it considerably. That was in Shadowfen on my way to the invaded delve down on the east side - didn't even need the Kaghouti that litter the hill the delve entrance sits on.
Is there a good place to try Giant Snakes? Haven't had much luck with Guar.
Shhh!
No, dude. It exemplifies a lack of a sense of humour. /facepalm
I spent the first 3 days of the event in various zone chats telling people they weren't constrained to specific mobs or the designated area; as well as telling people in the guilds I am in where they could find good concentrations of mobs.
Kinda like I did 8 posts ago: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/8380221/#Comment_8380221
Your poor attempt at humour notwithstanding, you were displaying a common reaction I've been seeing in /zone when people share tips on where other players can find drops for the event quests: people who already knew about those places get mad that they're going to have more competition now. Which is the exact problem with the design of these quests.

Re: LIGHTWEIGHT FURS is wasting time with such a low drop rate
There are 5 huge Chapter-sized zones in AD. Ignore the circles on map. You can go anywhere, literally anywhere in AD, with the below creatures. The underlying event design and drop rates are fine. But whoever wrote quest made things so much worse by bottle-necking everyone into a few tiny circles that cover maybe 1% of where you can get these drops. You'll have more luck in the other 99% of the AD zones.
The actual gameplay is actually nicely designed, giving you the freedom of many creatures and many zones to choose from. Then quest author made it look so much more restrictive.

I agree 100% , I was sticking to the tiny area shown on quest map and yesterday I ventured further out and there too many zombies to count...got my essences quickly instead of sticking to the tiny circle on my map like the day prior lol
