Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
I am itching to play again, I really am. But not without the difficulty-patch.
Last time I played about 1.5 years ago I could do every Overland Content (besides some DLC-Worldbosses) nude with only a staff and without switching bars. That was the point where I thought, why am I even playing when nothing matters? No Gear, not Championlevels, nothing....

Re: Ball Group Players "Group Queueing" into SOLO Queue Battlegrounds
So in other words what you did was break the Terms of Service quoted on the original post:
What exact ToS did I break? Queueing into BGs with my friends and hoping most of us would end up in the same game? In which world is asking your friends if they want to play BGs and then queueing to end up against each other in random teams is either a bug or abuse?
The one I linked, and yes - according to TOS that'd fall under "match fixing and collusion" if you coordinate queue into solo queue.
I'm pretty sure other competitive games have similar rules... Of course the chances of winding up in the same lobby in a game like League or Valorant etc would be significantly lower due to higher populations.
What's next? Am I breaking ToS when I see a friend randomly in my team and I say hello? It's unfair advantage because we're solo queue'ing but we are used to playing together, right? God forbid I ask them if they wanna hop on voice while we're at it.
There's a not so fine line between constructive and ridiculous.
I shouldn't need to point out, but this is a straw man argument.
There's a big difference between organizing solo queue invasion with other people (possibly to harass someone you don't like) and just randomly coming across your friends in BGs.
If anything the only question to be asked about the mentioned scenarios is why we don't have the possibility of group duels or Private BGs with invite codes in the game already.
While this would be nice to have, in the meanwhile there is a way to have your own lobbies:
1. Form 2-4 groups, 4 players each.
2. Queue into group queue at the same time.
3. Wait until everyone gets a queue pop (leaders of each group can write + for example or just say something in voice chat). If this doesn't happen, don't accept queue and try again.
Not perfect, but it's a workable solution that doesn't mess with anyone else's BG experience
And to reitterate - the "abuse" you're speaking off does not work. I would ask someone to show proof, but they can't.
In an 8v8, if you queue together based on my experience, there's a bit more than 50% chance you get in the same BG and slightly lower than 50% chance you get in the same team ( since 1/8 spots is already occupied by you ).
Let's take a 4-man scenario.
That's (1/2*1/2)^4 chance. So yea, assuming that everytime you play BGs there's some mischievous party queueing together to end up in the same team and bully you, it will happen actually happen. Once ... every 256 BGs ( actually 512 if we want to be strict since there's also the chance you end up in the same team ).
Sure, except you don't need a whole 4-man group to get in the same solo queue BG, nor do you even need to get in the same team. Even one person swing is enough to dramatically alter how a solo queue BG plays out.
This is where the whole "collusion" aspect of synchronized queueing into BGs comes in, when people in opposing teams ignore each other because they're part of the same friend group and just spend the whole BG running after someone they don't like who solo queued, or do their best to intentionally lose the BG if in their team.
Personally I've had both scenarios happen to me multiple times over the years and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
If people want to play with (i.e. not against) their friends, they should group queue - simple as that... And the game's TOS concurs with this.

Fixing the Sorceror & Necromancer
So as we all know, they kind of messed up the Necromancer & turned a Sorceror into a Necromancer. So what i recommend is rework them. Turn the Necromancer into what it supposed to be, a Pet & MInion class. Able to summon daedra pets & using skeletons is minions during the fight, using the corpse mechanic so it stays within lore and current class but reworked to be a proper pet and minion class.
Sorcerer gets turned into a pure high damage class, No pets but has higher dps and DoT. Light attacks that does burst, poison & DoT attacks. Turning the class into a class focused on damage, healing & DoT, giving it both support and damage dealer abilities. Almost like its now, but pets are removed and gets spells that buffs your dps.
Currently the Necro got mixed up and this way it gets fixed, while not much changes are needed. Only Necro being focused around support & minions/pets. So then its still tanking but added dps with its perma pets & temporary minions & Sorceror gets reworked to being pure damage & heal

Tales of Tribute Needs PvP Tournaments - Bigger Stakes, Bigger Rewards
Lately, I’ve been logging into ESO just to play Tales of Tribute. It’s my go-to way to chill instead of sweating through battlegrounds or grinding vet dungeons lol. But after playing a tonne of matches, it feels like there’s an extra layer of fun that could take it to the next level.
We actually got a small taste of it in the intro questline with the AI tournament... and it got me thinking:
What if we had real PvP tournaments in Tales of Tribute?
The Idea - PvP Tournament Mode
Core Concept:
- 8-player single-elimination bracket
- 3 consecutive matches until a winner is crowned (around 30–90 mins total depending on match length)
- Higher stakes, better rewards than regular ranked matches
- Integrated right into the Activity Finder with a new “Tales of Tribute Tournament” tab
Why It Works:
1. Keeps the Game Fresh - Brings back the hype and tension in every single match.
2. Boosts Ranked Progress - Tournament wins give a big ranking bump:
- On top of prizes, tournament wins could give a massive ranked boost: 500 points for the win, plus the usual 150 max per match. That means a couple of good tournament runs could shoot you up the leaderboard.
3. Potential Milestone Rewards - Something to chase over time:
- Imagine unlocking a flashy roister outfit after your 10th tournament win - or riding into town on a mount only tournament champions can earn after 25 x tournament wins.
4. Better Prizes - Gold, rare mats, exclusive cards, titles - rewards worth the time investment.
5. Bragging Rights - An additional monthly leaderboard of top tournament winners would fuel competition and give recognition.
How the Tournament Finder Could Work:
- Shows live player count (e.g., “5/8 Players Joined”) so people know if it’s nearly ready to start.
- Auto starts once full - no manual invites needed.
- Bracket runs automatically with matchmaking between rounds.
Match Flow:
- Round 1: 8 players → 4 winners
- Round 2 (Semi-Finals): 4 players → 2 winners
- Round 3 (Final): Champion takes the big prize and bragging rights
Why It’s a Win for ZOS:
- Uses existing systems: matchmaking, ranked scoring, reward frameworks - just layered into a bracket.
- Increases player retention: something exciting for both casual players and ranked climbers.
- Creates community moments: perfect for streaming, guild events, and ESO social media highlights.
Would love to hear what other TOT players think about this.
If you’ve ever thought Tales of Tribute could do with an additional game mode, now’s your chance to speak up.
- Would you queue for tournaments? And if so... what would you want on the line?
- What rewards would you like to see tied to tournament wins, and milestone wins?
- Any additional ideas that could make this a viable feature to implement for ZOS?

Re: PLEASE give us an option to turn off weapon glow.
AND...give us the option to change the glow colors, too. Why does everything HAVE to have a red glow? Ever heard of blue or yellow or orange or green?
Re: Time-consuming Daily Endeavours
For the kill with scribed skills normally you don't need to get the KB just tag things with a scribed skill.
Generally i'll use 'pull' on wield soul then just beam down the stack on arc - 40 enemies takes about 5m in any grind spot.

I loathe the look enchantments give weapons. Ugh.
