Re: Anyone facing an issue with skills not triggering?
Desynchronisation (desync) has always been an issue in ESO, but it has recently become worse. Audio desync is also much worse than it used to be. I especially notice it on werewolf; howling in combat often makes no sound until one second later. Also, when parsing, I'm doing well, getting close to a good score, and then my character just stands there because the button I pressed did not register, and the parse is ruined. My ping is around 60-80 ms.

The Undaunted Celebration, the most grindy, and one of the most popular, PvE events returns September 18th-30th.
So PvP, already struggling, is supposed to be getting one of its rare performance tests during the biggest, or at least one of the biggest, PvE events of the year. Can't wait for lower population numbers to be blamed on overall lack of interest, just like lower WM pop earlier this year (when WM is up there with Witches Festival for worthless rewards).
I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist but surely they can't be this clueless?
If all of ESO share a limited server capacity, then it makes sense to have both events going same time.
I remember when they told us that PvP and PvE were on seperate servers. Then over years and years we all saw how PvP performance declined with the addition of every new PvE expansion. So ya. Whatever.
Well you release new bloated sets and skills each dlc launch and power creep the game by tacking on system after system. No wonder the game cant handle modern skills, set bonuses, passives, status effects, etc you name it. Power creep is a tactic for horizontal progression games to FEEL like people are seeing vertical progression. Oh i got stronger because look I can 1 shot zone mobs now, or hey we do this trial faster.
People see vengeance as carebear land, but in reality they are far better base unmorphed skills that help cut out the power creep. Not to mention PvP having its own set of skills lets us remain away from the PvE crowd demanding power creep each patch. If you can get past all of the conspiracies and see vengeance for what it would be once they add the other systems back, its not much different than live pvp except with the fat trimmed off skills.
At a certain point they need to test what happens to the server when sets and stat changes affect skills, so its not like vengeance wont get there if it keeps being developed.
Even if they do give up, it at most would replace the 0 population u50 and nocp servers with a single vengeance learning server. Then youd probably have GH and the blackreach campaigns for endgame dlc proc ballgroup haven.
All i know is if current vengeance replaces all pvp like the conspiracy theorists say, then suddenly I never have to buy eso+ again or any future dlc......so doubt zos is going to do this.

That makes me wonder, what if character name is just like the class and everything is build around it? What if it is the sole identifier on the server and account name is referenced elsewhere? It could complicate things.
Though you are right, I’m not going to get spun up about it right now. Just something to think about.
Nope. Characters have a unique numerical ID. One of the add-ons uses it to track learned scribing scripts. Even my deleted character shows up. And since name-change tokens exist, there has to be a way to identify characters besides their name.
[Request] Undaunted Keys
Currently, the keys from daily pledges are:
Base Game Normal: 1 Key
Base Game Veteran: 1 Key
Base Game Hardmode: 2 Key
DLC Normal: 2 Keys
DLC Veteran: 3 Keys
DLC Hardmode: 4 Keys
There are two disparities here. I'd like to focus on the second disparity, which is that the rewards essentially say DLC 1 Boss HM = DLC 3 Boss HM. Depending on the group, and their experience, depending on which DLC it is and the PuGiness of the group, you can get 2 HM bosses done, but the 3rd can cause issues, and some people don't have the time for it, and you end up in the situation of just finishing on non-HM Veteran despite having put in the work on 2/3rds of the bosses.
Sometimes, even in experienced groups you'll have the conversation of: "Lets not bother with HM, the last boss is a pain". So you don't bother doing the HM of the other two bosses. Re-working how the Key rewards work would give an incentive for players to engage with the HMs even if not completing all 3 bosses on HM.
DLC Veteran: 3 Keys + 1 Key per HM boss.
This would cure not only the disparity between the 1B & 3B HMs, but would incentivise players to tackle one or two of the bosses in 3 Boss HM dungeons.

Re: I KNOW FOR A FACT that I'm not the only one disapointed by daily rewards !
I'm always amazed when people complain " The FREE stuff you are giving out isn't good enough ! "
You don't need to spend any money whatsoever to get the login daily. ESO+ is not required.
And it's just not good enough. Apparently there is a requirement someplace that Free stuff has a minimum value requirement, despite the Fact that everyone values things differently.

I guess ZOS will have to ban your account for not agreeing to their terms then 
Re: random daily dungeon infiltrated by dlc dungeon....
I'm sorry, I don't quite follow. Could you rephrase that?
You do mention linking monster sets and final weapons, and that is a good point. I don't necessarily do that in a base game dungeon, but in DLC dungeons I typically do link them. And people should link them if they don't need the weapon or monster helmet.
But for the rest of the post, I'm afraid I am limited in my understanding.

Now that the chapter or seasonal event include the dungeon I can't do a random daily without stumbling on naj caaldesh or some long dungeon that I don't want to do. I saw a lot of people (me included) log out in such an event. Now I don't think that this is good for the game because if a tank leave you have to wait a lot to get another. there should be a way to do a random daily BASE GAME dungeon or a random daily DLC dungeon. That would solve a lot of problems.
The simple solution is to avoid the dlc dungeons in que for your daily normals
You can do this by grouping up with under lvl50 players. I forget what the lvl caps are, but dungeons are still unlocked at certain levels so if you go into starter zones and ask if anyone wants some fast dungeon run xp usually you will get 10+ new players saying they want to get easy xp.

Why can't the players wanting DLC dungeons join guilds that run dungeons and form groups with like minded players? Or form groups with friends? Why depend on players that don't want to be there to fill their groups?
My guess is for the same reason that the players wanting DLC only normal dungeons don't join guilds that run dungeons and form groups with like minded players? Or form groups with friends? Why depend on players that don't want to be there to fill their groups?
There would be plenty of players queueing for base game dungeons. Those wanting DLC dungeons are the ones with the potentially longer queues, so they should look for their own solution.
That's really incredibly selfish. You should look for a suitable solution yourself. You can always use the group finder to search specifically for people without ESO+ for randoms. I really hope ZOS doesn't change the dungeon finder. At most, the reward. It should be 5 crystals for normal and 10 for veteran. Whether normal or DLC. Random is random. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're not. That's how the game works.
Currently, you get the same reward for random normal as for vet. So why don't you go random normal if DLCs are too difficult for you on vet? And if even normal DLC dungeons are already too difficult, then you should familiarize yourself with the basic mechanics of the game before you do group content. Transmutation crystals won't help you then either.
