The EDF Khajiit NPCs practicing at the dragon locations are still wearing Worm Cult armor after 6 years, should this not be immediately rectified and changed to Anequina? It should not take very long to adjust this quickly.

Following up on this, we have followed up on the West Weald Treasure Map Leads. Last time we looked into this on our end, they were actively dropping. We have seen this happen and have tested on the live server and the leads are dropping. However, we will take this back to the team to look at again.

And what is the drop rate from it?
How many West Weald maps you must have for lead drops?
My wife is angry about it and I don't remember when I got lead from that damned West Weald.
So, leads are bugged at all or they are bugged for some accounts.

We'll ask the team to check again. Just noting that each time we ran our testing on the live servers, we had testers get it withing a few hours at most. But we'll touch base with the team for additional review.

As others have said, the main issue is getting the second and third drops to complete the 3 part codex.

Also, even after completing the codex, the blue and green antiquities can't be purchased from the achievement vendor, which makes them effectively impossibly rare.

I see a lot of arguments about it but only few highlighted real issue. The problem is not adding 4 DLC dungeons per year, it is how they are implemented. All of them have complicated, confusing mechanics that requires reading boring manuals and watching lengthily videos to understand how to do it. People want to play game, not to read or watch videos about it.

I have a dungeon group. Four of us (with occassional fillers if someone is away) run a HM dungeon on a Monday. When new dungeons come out, we run that instead. Blind run on Veteran difficulty - none of us check it out on the PTS, none of us watch videos - we play the game, we learn the mechs, and we get the clear within our 2 hour allotted time. The next run we do it in a hour. The third run we get it done in 30 minutes. Then we get the speed run.

MMOs are complicated, they require a certain level of dedication to learn how the game works to get the more difficult content done, that's how it should be. Time and effort yield rewards.

On vet level coordination is often required to avoid “kill on spot” or “wipe on spot” or similar mechanics even when players know about it.

Higher difficulty requires greater co-operation, that's how it should be.

New Answer from the Reddit AMA

ZOS_Finn on Reddit wrote:

Short answer is: Yes, we are working on it.

Longer answer: We have scoping and are aligning resources for this initiative and will share more when we have better timelines.

For the time being, I can say that the some core values for this are...

\- This is optional and no one will be forced into it
\- There will be varied levels of difficulty players can opt into
\- We will NOT be separating players

Yes, it would include older content.

These responses personally make me feel like the timeline has been pushed back but I'm not sure.

@ZOS_Kevin

Is this still slated for the current content pass?

Was it ever slated for the current content pass? I do not remember seeing/hearing any mention of it. Would be great to see a quote if it exists.

Yes. I asked about it coming out this year, 2025, after the April livestream. My question was referencing a statement made at the end of 2024 that we'd know more in 2025. And I was reassured that the current plan was still that it would come out this content pass.

Thank you for the response. I guess my follow up question is if this is something still so early into prototyping, is this is something still planned to drop this year? I know last year, it was stated that it would be coming this year which lead to many of expecting news during the live. The new content cadence was stated to help with speed of releases so I wonder if this is still possibly coming this year?

ZOS_Kevin wrote: »

As of right now, the goal is to still have this out during the content pass timeline. But if that changes, we will update once we have a clear picture if anything changes.

However, between the statements made in the AMA and the layoffs, I am not convinced that this is still the case. A lot has changed at ZOS and those statements make it sound like it's not that far in development.

@spartaxoxo Thanks a lot. I would be very surprised if we get this this year.

You're welcome. I'd be surprised too but I'd still like confirmation since we were told we'd be updated if things changed. Seems easy enough since the Livestream is this Thursday.

Just to level set, while overland difficulty is in active development, it's not something that will be ready to be released before the end of the year. We're definitely excited to share more information on it as development progresses, though!

So sad to hear exclusion is coming. Keep expanding difficulty levels and handing out higher rewards and you are perpetuated the problem.

It’s more inclusive. More players can play the game how they want. And it’s optional, no one is forcing you to participate in any overland difficulty.

Never done a BG, never will. And I almost always manage to get 3/3 endeavors.

Horace-Wimp wrote: »

Just don't do that Endeavor.

That's not the point.

We should be able to play BGs for fun, without having to deal with those who come just to die without trying to win, just because they have to complete a daily endeavour.

Just think how those that want to do a full dungeon run feel when every day they get speed runners that just want the daily XP reward for a random.
The endeavors are incentives to try different things. Battlegrounds could use more players participating. Maybe the endeavors will attract players to battlegrounds outside of the endeavor.

THIng is... If one team is getting curbstomped... then the matchmaking is bad *because it hasn't distributed the bad players and the good players evenly between the teams*.

There are times when I get the impression that, out of the 8 or 16 players involved in a given battleground, it's putting the top half all in one team, and the bottom half all in the other team.

If *each* team were reliably a mix of good PVPers and crappy PVPers... then sometimes the good ones would end up having to fight each other, and sometimes the bad ones would actually end up, by the fortunes of battle, fighting against opponents they could actually defeat...

This isn't a debate about whether CP is important; we don't care.

You're the one that brought it up. All the same, CP beyond 160 doesn't mean squat in BG's period. All it will indicate is how long a player has been playing. CP and/or Seniority, are no measure of skill or capability.

Any matchmaking system worth its weight in salt is based around performance record/stats. [edit] And ranking. But given there's no ranking system that's just not feasible.

I hope, I'm not the only one who hates that there's no fishing minigame. Not only the loot is very bad, but also no minigame. The laziest fishing I've ever seen in a video game.

They could at least make it possible to see the actual fish you catch, like a character holding it after catching it. But no it's just an icon and sometimes a furnishings item.

Red Dead Online hands down has the best fishing minigame out of any online game I've ever played.

I understand well enough you want nothing to do with a romance system. I'm not trying to talk you into it or string you along about anything. I think you will be able to completely ignore any romance system they put in the game: that's all I'm saying. Maybe my assumption is right; maybe it's wrong. I won't know until the system appears.
