I can't find anyone to play with in the districts, so I'm running around in vampire form.

Does anyone have a guide to the minigames and races? For most of them, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, and they insist on coming up in the dailies.

Went back in tonight and after a bit of a wait finally picked up a group in the GF and it was a lot more enjoyable.

Firstly, I really enjoyed some of the bosses, great job there! 🙂 Getting eaten and promptly murdered by the sandy lads IBS made me happy lol

However, I stand largely by my initial thoughts. It feels more PoE or diablo than ESO, wading through endless trash (though without the rewards). Group repairs, furnishings, motifs, etc from the bosses are nice, but please lose the overland stuff and make the daily reward (blue) chests feel worth getting, it's a meme at this point to wade through endless trash for a plague doctor shoe.

I got the ring pieces and some shards but it also is really confusing with what needs to be collected for what and where.

TL:DR: please update rewards, please have an idiot-proof explanation for those of us that need things explained to them like they are 5. And as a lot of folks suggested, add a normal mode for solos - it could be quite zen to explore, but the current level of focus it currently needs makes me tired quite quickly 😅

I think it is going to be a dead zone in a short time, it is way too hard for solo player... a large amount of people DON'T group up.

People will play just to get the leads then STOP, because everything else is trash.

The house bank should come with every house, people pay a good amount of money for there guild houses, we need this functionality for every house paid for by crowns.

The population cap is a huge issue i ran around today and so so random players just the ones from our group how can you soft group with people when you dont come across any

Is there bug thread for night market?

My bug is the furniture from "Furnishing container: The Thousand Eyes" is not stacking in the furniture vault.

@Techwolf_Lupindo The reason they don't stack is because the furnishings from the container are bound.

TBH, I think making them bound is a terrible decision. These furnishings are not special or unique--they're all craftable. So why are they bound? It just creates issues like not being able to stack them with unbound versions of the same furnishing in the vault.

Why is the Thousand Eyes so much ahead of the other two factions by at least two to three times?...

The Thousand Eyes is the DPS faction. DPS is always the dominant percentage of any group so it makes sense that the DPS faction would have the dominant percentage of favor. The other two factions deal more with tanking/ healing which are always the smallest percentage of any group.

I joined The Thousand Eyes for the DPS boost I expect to have once I complete the Golden Pursuits and get that faction gear as I primarily DPS in any group I join. Maybe later in future Seasons I will focus on non-DPS items. Time will tell..

I'm usually a solo player and was skeptical of this content, but I gave it a try - just typed in zone chat to join a group and it was fun. Really energizing and a breath of fresh air with the difficulty over 1-shotting bosses for story quests. I supposes the part of me that enjoys more challenging cooperative gameplay in MMOs is not entirely behind me, especially on a healer.

I don't know how long this will keep people's interest but I'm going to try again this weekend.

If you aren't even willing to press "x" in zone chat to join a party and follow teams around, I don't really know what to say. Our group was inviting anyone who wanted to join.

The thing is, I did that. I asked in chat if there were any groups. I saw other people post LFG and asking about groups.

No answer. Half of the time I tried it, there was no one in chat looking for groups. I even saw someone type X in chat, and then a bit later ask if there were any groups, so apparently there wasn't any there with the auto group mod.

One of the times I managed to find a group, I had just died and suddenly noticed I was getting credit for kills, so I looked down and there was a group.

The second time I asked if anyone was there, because I didn't see anyone from the resurrection point, someone actually answered! Only one person. However, fortunately either a lot of people joined the instance after that, or they were just lurking, because when the person who answered said 'come to the abomination' and I went there, there were a lot of players milling around, and so I managed to follow them and get some kills in (no quests done but did pick up another quest)

But, that was still two times out of 4 that I managed to find someone to group with, and I am lucky enough to be able to get online at pretty much any time. So, I could try it four different times yesterday.

Not everyone can. If they can only get on during non-peak times, then they are just out of luck. If no one is looking for a group, then they can't group up. If no one is in those instances, then they can't group up.

I know there is the group finder, but again, if there aren't any groups, or the groups there try it and then disband after they wipe (which I have heard happening), then again, there aren't any groups to play join.

Because, yeah, if there is a group to help, then it can be fun. But, the number of people I have seen in the district I went to doesn't give me a lot of hope that in say a week, there are going to be enough people who can actually do the content, to group up with (once the people who want the rewards and can do the content get it, they are likely to go back to whatever else they want to do, leaving even fewer people there)

At any normal time I'm a great supporter of options, not least in respect of difficulty levels.

This is not a normal time, however, in that we know the ZOS team has been significantly reduced in size and that the amount of new content is therefore impacted. At such a time it is even more important that such new content as is viable is aimed at the widest possible range of players, and that means implementing difficulty level options.

This new content is clearly out of the reach of many players, perhaps even most. The others may argue from their veteran BIS dungeon and trial experience with thousands of CPs that you can just run Group Finder and it's all a doddle, but that isn't what many players are used to doing or want to do, and many are simply low level or casual. Their loss for sure, but also ZOS's loss too as they assuredly want their content creation to be widely used and acclaimed.

No rational player wants the Night Market switched from its present focus to a more casual one, but everyone would benefit if it was given some difficulty options as they'd all be able to play it then, their way. And ZOS would benefit too.

Again, I am a PvPer. I've literally never had a PvE build apart from an oakensoul heavy attack builds and a one bar beam build with crafted gear. I do not do vet trials, I rarely do vet dungeons and typically struggle through them.

How many CPs do you have?

Dude you are missing the forest for the trees. It doesnt really matter how much CP one has if their style of gameplay can vary completely. Acting like someone with high CP is automatically going to have an easy time in NM is just as bad as gatekeeping those with low CP from joining groups. Champ points don't even add that much these days anyways since the CP2.0 rework.

The point is that there is an ingame feature that allows you to join a PUG group. The Night Market is designed to be completed by PUG groups. It has very few coordinated mechanics, and just needs someone holding aggro and someone tossing around some heals. You can be CP 200 in crafted gear, join a PUG, and get carried through. You may die, you may get stuck at times, but if I can do it in a PvP build with horrible rotation skills with a PUG, anyone should be able to do it with a PUG.

And the answer to my question is?

Why should it matter how many CPs someone has? Go grind them, make your character more powerful if you want to be able to do stuff easier... That's the whole point of (MMO)RPGs, isn't it? Character progression etc

Because CPs make a difference to the difficulty level of content, someone even at level 20 on an alt but with 2000 CPs will find content a breeze compared with someone at level 20 on their main with no CPs. That's why it's important when someone tells us how easy the NM content is should give a clear picture of where they're coming from compared to those who are struggling with the content. Context is everything. Plus, when someone avoids answering that question it's a bit of a giveaway...
