Not sure why PC/NA is sucking so bad at this event. At this rate, we will not see part 2 until early November.

5 hours farming dailies every day is not fun. Not that I had anything else to do. BUT THATS NOT THE POINT!
(the 5 hours is taking into account me spacing out at staring at the walls for what seems like... forever)

Any insight on why? Because it seems like the zone is full of questers, judging by my lag.

People generally don't believe in a meter and doing stuff just getting a box, 3 of them or for alts exp. I honestly don't know a soul who is "doing their part", maybe some were the first day but after numbers started jumping around it's definitely affected people's perception, no matter if it's all fake or not.

Also the very idea of running for a carrot that's already there, fully implemented, fully payed by you already, being gated for at least some weeks can be borderline insulting for some to even consider participation in this.

I have pre ordered every chapter. Even on a multi year break, I still pre ordered. After being blown away with wrothgar, Morrowind, clockwork city, Summerset etc. I never felt that I wouldn't get more than my monies worth. I've been back 7 months now after a break of a few years. I of course pre ordered the Solstice chapter even after some misgivings. To be completely honest I'm extremely disappointed. Those great dlcs I mentioned above? Whoever made solstice should be ashamed to follow those with this. Reskinned. Lore out of whack. Event giving spoilers. Very few side quests. The worst chapter event in the games history. The trial, while fun, was mostly old bosses thrown together. Just very poor.

Where we're going is even worse. People are wanting to see what we're getting next year. I understand. They already told us though. They want to revisit old zones with new stories. This was a transition year. I don't think there will be new zones at all. We will get maybe 3 months long seasons. The next is dark brotherhood. There will be a new threat. We will gather in gold coast. We will track the threat to old zones and old delves where new storylines will be. That's it. Probably tasks along the way will give us rewards. Like say fallout 76 but with a little more questing.

I would love to be proven wrong. I want the letter this year to blow me away but I'm sick to death of hearing "oh my God we CANNOT WAIT to show you what we've got cooking over here!!!!!!!!!" Just keep waiting. Don't worry, we're gonna show you soon. Soon. We can't tell you Tee hee hee. But trust us. Just keep playing. Keep paying. You don't want us to end up like NW right?

I love the game. So much so that I'll be here probably till the servers shut down. But maybe that's the problem. They know enough if us won't vote with our wallet.

Tanks should definitely have better tools and positioning should matter. (sorry to hear about the bear)
If players need the feature for tanking, it should probably be an ability, slotted for use by tanks, with maybe a damage reduction caveat.

Let's say you could use autotargeting as it is now, but as an ability, as a tank, with the caveat all damage is capped at 5%. A tank would check that box to enable the camera and function. This might make more sense.

They should fix targeting and remove autotargeting, especially in cases where players are cheating the environment and using the targeting to taunt or pull enemies that are behind other enemies (especially very... large ones where it's impossible to see around them). Players should move or reposition.

Woha! Now tanks shall lose a slot for an ability like shield, buff etc. so YOU can play the game the way YOU like.

I have another suggestion to make. Why do YOU not adapt to how it is now?

I suggest to add a dd ability that deactivates autotargeting so that you can slot it

I stop here. It is apparent that some people have no experience with tanking and how essential tabbing and taunting is in many circumstances that represent a large portion of what the game actually is (vet trials and dungeons, arenas etc.)

Didn't vote because the responses don't match my experience

Not pre-ordering because duh have you seen this industry's track record lmao

Being able to turn off other player’s effects would be greatly helpful. We don’t have that option on consoles. Then we could see the aoes and other stuff more easily.

Personally I hate the npcs shouting out things during the fight. I am too focused on staying out of damage and looking at the boss or mobs that I need to hit. I can hear them but don’t have the brainpower left to listen to what they are saying.

I am only familiar with the easier group dungeons and earlier trials. I tend to struggle more in the later dungeons and trials. The difficulty of those is higher and there are more adds and more add groups. Generally, it seems like certain mechanics are consistent from one area to another. For instance, if the red lines are shooting out of an enemy, you know to bash them to interrupt them. However, when the whole group is hard stacked in one spot and you are forced to see the animations of every single person in your group, the center of your screen is just a bright white blob.

Other than that one suggestion I suppose it just takes experience and a knowledgeable lead to explain things. It would be nice to have mechanics that don’t require that, but it might not be possible.

"Being able to turn off other player’s effects would be greatly helpful."

That’s right! Insightful. In 12 trial mission, there're so many of status effect show up at once.
It feel like scramble egg of the effect visuals, so I can't find out dangerous AoE at all.

"Personally I hate the npcs shouting out things during the fight. I am too focused on staying out of damage and looking at the boss or mobs that I need to hit. I can hear them but don’t have the brainpower left to listen to what they are saying."


I agree with this also. Moreover, sometimes, it feels like stupid visual direction for me.
"Don't move your muscle !"
Why deadra boss advise us?

I know since Murkimire it says you can do critical damage to shields but all I see when I am fighting Sorcerers is white damage numbers. Why is this? Does this mean that they can't be critically damaged when they have a shield?

I'm trying to find a way to counter this meta as on my Templar I feel so inadequate regarding damage, no matter what I run. I have tried numerous set ups and am an experienced Templar main playing arlt a good level, however a lot of the time the class and damage feels so impotent.

Why can't we get a guaranteed drop for the new style page then go to random after the first drop at least?

We need more reasons to play, not fewer.

If the page was a guaranteed drop there would be fewer reasons to play.

The way event rewards are set up now is the reason not to participate. You probably don't even realize that leg and chest pieces only drop from arena's and trials respectively.

You're making my point for me.

Can you not remove ur nose from the butt and start considering other people’s view points?

Compared to other celebration type events the rewards are worse. That’s just a fact.

While I disagree a lot with our Gabriel H, and it's not debatable that the rewards are junk and the event is pretty disliked, he's not exactly wrong. From the point of view of Zos (why I said hes cosplaying as a Zos dev) They only care about showing engagement, and probably how that engagement leads to subs and store purchases. I've been extremely vocal in my displeasure for this events rewards, and I believe that if they made awesome rewards, people wouldn't care that the quests were boring fetch quests. I will grind kill 5 rats or boars over and over for hours, I'm an old mmo guy, but make it worth it. In the end, I believe that everyone could've won. Zos could have top notch numbers to show off for this event and the community could've been happy. (You obviously couldn't please everyone) Now you have a community in tumult, unhappy and vocal. We definitely need a mea culpa and dialogue on what the community expects.

I don’t understand why they removed double drops of crafting materials, getting boxes from the normal daily quests, boxes dropping surveys plans and such. Gabriel is right in that giving us the style page would remove any need to keep doing the quests but it’s the other points that I’m more annoyed at personally.

Im not unreasonable though, I will say I appreciate that they are trying something new but it seems pretty obvious that this would be the outcome… not to mention the bar moving soooo slowwwwllllyyyyy.

Feedback for next event like this.

ZOS dont give us bars with %'s give us the actual target data. If the goal is 100 million quest completions thats what I want to see. Not 100%. Im decent enough at math that I can figure out % completion myself.
