Re: Possibly readjust Crown Gem values?
I had a moment of weakness tonight, because of the Berserker's Garb Costume and a Hairstyle. Its made me painful conscious about just how much money it takes to accrue Crown Gems that can afford certain things.
Yes I fully understand we now have free to earn Endeavors, but even those take massive amounts of time to gather. It would help immensely if we either received more gems from deconstructing items, or items being offered cost less gems to purchase.
Either way, items becoming more affordable would incentivize people to buy Crowns more, because itd leave us feeling less ashamed when RNG is particularly nasty to us.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind the crown gem value for duplicates being made more...
The crown gem crate's drop rates are so atrocious, you don't open crates to get good stuff, you open them to get crown gems to just buy what you want.

Gotta love it. Fixes one design mistake, just to release the same design mistake next patch. Patches broken cc, just to release another

Re: Auto-Save function not working properly on console?
(reposted from this thread )
Market Tracker v2.1.2 seems to be a consistent cause of the Save Error.
Steps to replicate error (PS5):
1. Restore a clean Save File from PS cloud, or delete local Save File and restart game.
2. Accept Add-On EULA, Enable only Market Tracker v2.1.2 and all required dependencies (Market Tracker Data Loader, LibText), and nothing else.
3. Load any character.
4. Force-trigger Auto Save by Enter-Exit two times via any sub-Options page (Video, Audio, etc), or if force-trigger fails (false save success), wait a few seconds for the Save Error to appear.
Solution:
1. Disable this Add-On to avoid it, or
2. Enable this Add-On, but upon getting the Save Error message, choose (O) No to stop attempts to Auto Save and continue playing without saves. (game is still functional, with settings fixed as per the last error-free save. Difference in that new settings will not be saved).

What possible legal reason could that be? Anybody can take a survey at any age. Children are given surveys all the time (What's your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid? Who's your favorite Pokemon? etc..). There are no legal/contractual obligations tied behind anonymous surveys. I've yet to see a survey from ESO that asks for personal information, etc..
And since the delivery system being the email address tied to the account, and account creation already accomplishing the "Are you over the age of maturity", I don't think it was trying to verify being 18+.
Likely the survey wanted a specific age demographic.
You are not going to ask children what their favorite beer is or what brand cigarettes they prefer. The game is intended 17+ only and that is why a survey would not and should not include minors.
Maybe there should be a follow-up to the prefer not to say choice asking if you are an adult. And presumably we all provided this information before purchasing the game or joining this forum.

I haven't seen the survey so I don't know what it's about but some possible reasons I can think of are:
- They want to ask about purchasing decisions and specifically want data from legal adults.
- They may want to contact people who completed the survey to get further information and it's simpler to exclude minors at the start than try to filter them out later or worry about safeguarding.
- Or simply so they have confirmation from the person filling out the survey, even if they're not the same as the person who set up the account. (An amazing number of people share email addresses, sometimes with their whole family, it's really annoying if you're using any kind of system that uses email as an identifier.)

Re: Cross Save / Cross Platform / Cross Play coming?
And character names/account names wouldn't be an issue, just add an invisible #1234 number next to each account/character name - dave#7, Queen of Auridon#17373 for example.
Or just add a little Xbox/PSN/PC icon next to names like they do in Fortnite

You can't have a mythic be responsible for so much of your builds power and expect other aspects of your character to not be impacted. Actually sitting down, going 'this thing wants X to work best' and providing players the ability to do build around X is a way to promote build diversity, rather than 'this mythic makes your frost skills super good for a not really noticeable hit to a damage type you may not be using.'
For example, I love Soulstone Suriviors. In it status effects can stack, and you have some special kind of skills. For ice builds, your status effects are slow and paralyze, and some ice skills deal damage based on the number of stacks of those debuffs on enemies. You build into stacking as many of those debuffs as possible and use a single payoff skill to cash in all those debuffs as damage? Voila, a strong build that can go far. Other debuffs like burning and poisoned deal damage, and not only are there skills that deal damage based off the number of stacks, but some skills clear all instances of the debuff and deal a % of their potential damage instantly, like, 300%, or more. Those kind of abilities allow players to go all in on a single elemental type and status effect and make powerful builds, not just the builds that cast their skills 40+ times a second.
Translating that into ESO, imagine this. A scribed skill, and say for the frost skill, "You apply a frost rune to the enemy, any time they get chilled they release a frost explosion, up to once a second, once it detonates X times it detonates one last time, dealing damage based on the number of nearby chilled enemies." Something like that would be thematic, give ice a unique identity, wanting to chill large crowds, and would encourage that kind of focused "I want to do X on this build to reach my payoff." That same skill when set up with fire could instead "Up to once a second consume the burning status effect on the target, refreshing this skills duration and applying Intense Burns, stacks up to 5 times," and voila, fire gets a strong single target dot so long as they keep applying burn to their target. That kind of thematic payoff would get me personally more interested in engaging with these kind of builds rather than a blanket "just make number bigger" one, and if they do that and turn up the dial you could easily still be left with builds that don't actually feel any different.
i have (on multiple occasions previously) suggested a very similar skill suggestion with my rework idea for frozen gate. that's 100% more important than this mythic idea. but this is just 1 of many of the types of things that needs to be done. this mythic isn't the only solution. it just makes up a portion of it.
My problem with some of those suggestions is that they often come off as "I don't like X ability, so lets change it to Y." Like there was a suggestion to retool frost cloak at one point, or remove other key aspects that make frost, frost. If something meaningful is done this mythic shouldn't be needed, at least not as a glorified stat stick (especially since the Soulcleaver set gives a 21% bonus to siphoning skills and reduced skill cost but makes them cost ultimate). If something meaningful is done, which there should be, something that massive shouldn't be needed at all.
If I were ZOS, I'd take every quarter to look at 3 class skill lines and give them a thorough pass, giving many of them substantial buffs, but also looking at what kind of playstyle those skill trees provide and capitalizing on them.
I think that re-works of existing skills are noble things to aspire to and that they would objectively be the best outcomes for boosting Frost (and really any other underachieving playstyle) damage.
But I don't think that we're likely to ever live in that world. Combat changes are simply too slow, too limited, and too tangential to the real issues facing the game, I think. So in the meantime, we need to make do with what we have and apply band-aid fixes if need be, such as a stat-stick Mythic.
Look at heavy attacks. They basically obey this same principle with Oakensoul and now Rhakkat (though they also randomly receive like 1/3 of all new sets, which remains weird). The whole playstyle depends upon basically one piece of gear. Not ideal, definitely, but it is what it is and it's certainly better than that playstyle not existing or being viable at all.

Re: Normal for Gray Host now?
Well said. Sadly we never had ground oils, but on Xbox I am sure for most players the allure to Cyrodiil was 2 things, zerg vs zerg like a Skyrim Battlefront, and Trebuchet vs Tower, not smallscale Instagibbing, people play CoD for that, not timing insane combos, we have Soul Cal for that. Also Xbox is kind of a Solo / Pug based format in general.
Of course a new culture of smallscale play arose on Xbox, and we all happily participated in that, but each year it became harder and harder for casual players to participate, right now it's basically get in a RoA VD group or queue up for solo BGs if you wanna have fun.
