Re: Why do you think the ESO dev discussion happened on Reddit and not here (WRONG ANSWERS ONLY)
Back quite a few years ago when another dev was preparing to release a new game, they had livestreams where I was able to watch right from my PS4 without any special apps or anything. You might have needed a twitch account to comment or something, I don’t have that so I can’t say. There was text scrolling down the side of the screen. I don’t know how they did it, but it was a nice feature. I could just search for the event in the schedule and click on it. The game was only coming out on one platform so it might have been easier to set up, I don’t know if it would be more complicated for multiple platforms like ESO.
If I have to log into a computer to watch then it just won’t happen. I don’t have a Reddit account either. I have no idea how a discussion works on that site, I just follow searches to a certain page. I don’t really use that site much but I don’t have any problem with it. I am probably ignorant of anything that might be going on there.
I’m not disappointed that I missed this discussion. I think it would just frustrate me even more about the state of the game. If they aren’t going to listen to skinnycheeks they won’t listen to me.

Re: “Joining Encounter in Progress” should have a confirmation check
I don't mind it at all. Sometimes I'm lagging behind or maybe even took a wrong turn, so I'm glad when I get pulled into the encounter. I've been in the situation where I've seen a chest or I didn't have a chance to loot the last mob, but no biggie.
I'd like it less if we had to wait a while because a group member or two were taking their time looting every crate and talking to every (non-essential) NPC. That's guildie/group finder stuff.
Having said that, I'm not fond of speedrunners. I'd much rather progress at a decent clip, killing everything along the way. But a pug is a pug. You roll with what you get, and if you can't do that, don't queue.

Re: Rich Lambert's Comments About The Current State of Balance
It is not the community's fault that the games performance has dropped significantly and the hardware refresh they did only lasted months. Exploits aren't our fault either.Yes, of course meta doesn't matter at all.
Unless:
- You want to be wanted by any group that can actually clear harder content.
- You like to complete as many achievements as you can.
- You are any level of competitive and like to try reach big numbers.
- You like to learn about game mechanics and test builds to find what gives the best results.
- You like to feel efficient and powerful when playing.
- You want to feel like you are keeping up with and not holding back your friends/groups who run meta setups.
- You like the challenge of clearing the most difficult content.
Sure, there is always going to be a meta. The problem is when the gap gets so big.
I am so tired of PvE damage dealer being Herald of the Tomb + whatever currently supports it best. If the devs are honestly happy with this state, I'm glad I've stopped supporting via ESO+.
Any Build has been able to clear content and achievements long before subclassing, and still can after. Its not the Devs responsibility to make Trial groups accept you. I've played plenty of Trials on some subpar setups before.
Many problems we blame on the game or the Devs are problems of our own making.
Bugs are not your fault. Exploiting bugs is.
Re: Are you all enjoying this undaunted event? ( pls share your experiences)
I earned the capstone reward today. I didn't think it would go so quickly, or that I would even finish, but some of the dungeon assignments were listed as their own pursuit as well.
I bought the yellow snipe skill style.

Re: Subclassing Bug Thread
Is there any update on the progress of this? I now have more characters with the quest than skill lines left to subclass fresh. So something needs to happen.

Re: Dev Team Request: A Top 5 List of Bugs and Pain Points You Would Like Addressed
Another point that would be nice would be to have the choice to stay at the end of a dungeon to to able to listen to the NPC dialogues.
Re: Rich Lambert's Comments About The Current State of Balance
if people need to turn an rpg game into a massive competition rather than massive multiplayer experience but cannot handle differences in the way people want to play then they need touch some grass and rethink thier lives
as for the 20 years ahead thing...i'll give eso 20 minutes each time i log in to keep me captivated, 20 years is just never going to happen
Where you find rpg in mmo game?
Re: PTS Update 48 - Feedback Thread for New Item Sets
@BasP thats because the mythic is bad and shouldn’t be used.
Whoever is doing item sets these days either has no idea what they are doing or just don’t want people to use the new sets.
Honestly I’m done being polite about sets.
What are you doing ZoS? We could see at a glance this wasn’t going to be worth using.
Yeah, I didn't expect it to be any good either before I tried it. I was mostly interested in seeing how bad it actually was.

Re: West Weald Treasure Map Leads are Bugged
I've been testing Solstice Treasure Map leads (here's the related thread) and am going to stop when my stock runs out, soon. Even my initial morbid curiosity ("Since Apocrypha and WW were both bad, let's waste some of my gold to see how awful this is too so I can report it to other players") has totally gone.
Bad enough that many players are deciding to quit engaging with this system or even Housing / ESO altogether.
Folks talk a lot about this in all the different housing communities on Discord, etc. – many don't come to the official forums. (Even those who do come here, not all are willing to comment, maybe only click "Agree".) Many are just done – we'd rather ignore those furnishings existence. Which is sad, because the Housing team did great work on a lot of these! But if we can't get them, nor buy them if we do manage to unlock, it's pointless.
It's hard to believe that this is intended.
Personally, I've stopped buying West Weald maps entirely. I don't do the Skingrad dailies anymore either: https://moonpile.tumblr.com/post/792523535558049792/
If I visit WW at all, I'm really happy to get another Ayleid Grand Tree because we can use them for smoke effects! (Likewise other easy drops I already have, like Dibella shrines, and even Spellscar Shards because they make a really great hidden light; used here for example - it's what's making this space so warm:
That is to say: I wish the team in charge of this system would come to understand that easier drops are a GOOD thing. Getting the items keep us building for days and weeks, instead of logging out in disappointment after yet another empty-handed run. And players who don't want more can simply let them expire or delete them.
I'm interested to learn what the Eastern Solstice "easy drop" will be.
Update – think I found it: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/8374173/#Comment_8374173
But, with the possible exception of 1/3 codex which thankfully appears to be curated recently, I will be ignoring the Eastern Solstice Treasure Map system come U48. (Again, a shame, because the Housing team made some fantastic pieces available for U48. They're just wasted by this system.)
