Assigning each of these players to a team of newcomers in 3-sided BGs: Unpredictable and fun for everyone.
Doing the exact same thing in 2-sided BGs: Disaster.
Why?
1. Since you can't use one team against another anymore, its difficult for BG regulars to engage each other without discarding everything they know about positioning and target selection.
3. Spawncamping is encouraged by the two-sided format itself in every gamemode.
4. People just give up a lot sooner because they can no longer fight for second place.´

Spamming these kinds of messages doesn't make them any less inaccurate, I hope you're aware of that.

1. As a "BG regular" I have no problem using my team against the opponent team and positioning/target selection matters just as much as it always does. If I want to engage another "BG regular" because let's say they're a squishy healer or they annoy me I can do so with ease, as I'm sure you've noticed in your EU BGs.
2. This is the number after 1.
3. Spawncamping has always been encouraged and is created by poor matchmaking and people being able to camp in spawn - it's as simple as that. ESO has wave based respawns, just kick people down from spawn after 10 seconds rather than 2 minutes and there'll be a lot less camping and a lot more fighting. A lot less griefing own team mates as well (and everyone else in a BG).
4. If rewards are that important just give a participation trophy (the daily box/xp) for everyone, simple as that. Winning should work to advance MMR (which should be a visible, functional system), which would grant its own rewards.

A lot of you guys are missing the point. It’s not a question of farming the chitin, it’s the fact that due to its rarity you will make a lot more gold selling it than you ever will from turning it in for the writ so it defeats the purpose since the only reason to do writs in the first place is to make gold.

At least on PC/NA, the average value of doing an Alchemy daily writ is still greater than the cost of doing them, even those that use Chitin. Some days it will be below, but if you get a survey and get even a single node of Columbine, you will be quite profitable, even more so if you get a master writ as well.

Over time, it's still worthwhile to do. Sure you can "optimize" and not do those particular ones, for a higher profit margin. But in terms of sheer profit, it's worthwhile to do all still.

Sorry, but I am going to take the word of the guy who wrote the book on eso crafting.

Take what word? He acknowledged what I said. This is simply poor game design. It’s like having a quest that takes away experience from you instead of awarding it. The writ requirement have never been updated even though the reality on the ground has completely changed and inflation has skyrocketed (particularly since crown selling became a thing). The chitin is a particularly poignant example of this because they actually changed how the regular mudcrabs spawn in addition to introducing the coral ones which don’t even drop the chitin for some weird reason. All I am saying is that these sorts of things need to be looked at and updated periodically to keep up with the dynamic nature of the in-game economy.

At least they haven't shut down the thread yet for being too old. As it's an ongoing issue the thread should remain open until ZOS fixes the bug.

this... they just locked another thread that was only a year old with helpful and relevant information on a bugged quest that is STILL bugged over a year later... if they aren't going to fix the things, why keep us from being able to help each other out on them?

Ok, real question here:

How many people named "Joe" existing in RL at the same time we have ?

^ See ? This is something I honestly don't understand in mmos (and eso). For crying out loud, we have account names...

In real life, there are a whole lot more identifiers and qualifiers than just the name. Nature provides several that people don't even need to think about.

Hold a "John Smith" convention and then announce over the PA that "John Smith" has just won a prize and to please come up to the podium.

I am not a fan of seeing Account Name everywhere. I turn that off in ESO for a reason. I really don't care who the player is. I would not want to see that sort of thing everywhere because of cross play.

They can just tag everyone with a platform icon, although that would probably result in "kicks" from some PC players.

A real problem with cross play is the impact on the in-game economy

Console players have FAR less gold than PC players, when they implement it suddenly the vast majority of console players will not beable to afford things, the smart thing for them to do would be to spend all their gold on materials that they could then sell for significantly more than they paid for them once cross-play was implemented.

Just because PC has a year on console players doesn't mean this is true at all, lol. 🤔 Some have more money, but nice try on trying to get the "poor" playerbase to waste their gold. 😅

PC has a lot more gold in it simply because they've always had a significantly higher population to generate that gold. As well they've had 10 years of addons to assist in generating that gold. Consoles have a fraction of the population, and a couple of months of addons helping generate said gold.

That's why the going rate for gold to crowns on PC is 10 times greater than the going rate on PSNA. I like being able to purchase crown items at 100-200per. Especially given that I can purchase a furnished house for less gold from a crown seller than I would have paid straight up gold for the unfurnished version.

I don’t understand why this is even a concern. All they have to do is add a little Xbox/PSN/PC symbol next to a players name like they do on Fortnite then you can keep your names

specially if you can toggle them off.

Said this, all the rushing forward made kevin comment on the other thread again.



Its way to early, nobody said anyone would be forced to change name. The OP just rushed a few miles ahead
