We don't need player sales in this game.

This is wildly off-topic, but economies are a major part of how MMOs work and how human societies work. I think it's very silly to expect that this would change or that anyone would want to change it aside from a very minimal portion of the population. I encourage you to be realistic about the kind of expectations you're setting for this game, and also, I think it's a good idea to keep in mind that ZOS has done a lot of things which allow players to avoid content they don't want to see. You are free to take advantage of them if you choose.

This thread is not the place to vent your every frustration with every aspect of the game. It is supposed to be here to discuss overland content specifically and should have nothing to do with the chat system whatsoever.

I was really looking forward to this Wall event, finally something new that we hadn’t seen before and could get all excited about. I’ve been a fan of ESO for many years and hate to say that my initial excitement has turned into disappointment, frustration and some anger.

Phase 1 was fine for maybe 1 week (aside from having to compete with other players to get a kill, standing around waiting for stuff to spawn at the beginning of the event) but then repetition kicks in and it’s all the same from there. The agonizingly slow grind all the way up to 100% during weeks, then finally!

Then... oh basically the same thing again for a few more weeks with some minor changes. I honestly thought I missed something (went into the event kinda blind, wanting to be surprised), Phase 2 is basically a copy of Phase 1 (give or take some tweaks)?? And you know what, if the rewards were worth it, I might actually still do it (but still not like it). A new house, great! Valued at 1 million if you want to buy it, but if you win it after you already own it, we’ll instead give you... 10K – that’s 1% of it’s value...

The realization after the end of Phase 1 that Phase 2 is more of the same again left a bad taste in my mouth and is making me question why I still like/play this game, sorry. Even if Phase 3 is truly amazing, I’m put off already.

Events like Witches/Jesters/Mayhem are repetitive year after year but cycles of basically the same thing now repeating for weeks in the SAME event – not something I enjoy. I really like new zones, areas, quests, WBs and get excited about new content being released but this Event as something new that we hadn’t seen before has not done it for me at all, quite the opposite.

Just fyi, you don't have to kill the world bosses. The quest giver does direct you to seek out stronger foes but it doesn't have to be bosses. Many of the same enemies you were going to before still work.

I am old fashioned, I look where the quest giver marks my map, and the two marked locations in Grahtwood were tiny circles where the world bosses were. Why would I kill random mobs on the map for drops when the quest points me to a very specific location?

“study dungeon mech”
“building tactics”
Sir, in random NORMAL dungeon?
What mechs you want me to study in fungal grotto 1? What tactics you need in random dungeon 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is lunacy

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.

Why deadra boss advise us?
