That sounds like "As a masochist I think pain is fine"

Not necessarily, I just understand that RNG is RNG. Some things you get quickly, others you don't, and there is absolutely zero issue in that. I went and solo'd this WB after my previous post just to see what the OP was on about. Took like 5 - 8 minutes. One attempt, no wipes. If they can do vCA HM, they are capable of putting together a solo build that can complete this boss without much issue. What we don't need is even more in this game being made simpler; there has been far too much of that already. People (OP included) complain about dead zones now, but they want everything in a zone to just be handed to them so they never return there... that's the most illogical take ever. Treasure map leads, I get that, and support a change there. Killing a WB for a drop? Not so much.

You are misrepresenting the point made here. No one said we want things handed to us neither complained RNG in other aspects in game as they fixed many things like transmutation for traits and creating sticker books for set items.
Problem with RNG here is that you don't if you ever get what you want at all regardless of the amout of effort you put.

We were farming Sunspire and Lair of Marselook with my friend. She got her lead in Sunspire from 2nd run in the day.
I got mine several weeks later. In Lair of Marselook exact opposite happened.

Saying RNG is RNG doesn't make it fun, engaging or interesting. It is frustating.
I get one furnishing lead 68 times without trying and another one I got zero. Clearly there is no standard drop rate between different leads. And we don't know why.

Oof. The glows are not my favorite. They look confusing and kinda make no sense for a werewolf.

“I’m a big scary thing that can pounce out of the shadows and get you - but hold up - let me just glow like goon from the 1990s Batman and Robin.”

This was a surprise I think no one asked for ):

If we can get rid of the glow tattoos - and shrink the gremlin ears - I’d be happier. Those ears… yeesh.

Yeah these glowing effects automatically make using the werewolf a no go for me. These are so ugly.

I can tolerate the system but it is way too specific. I thought the previous system of daily login and easy daily and weekly better. Those usually took up 3-5 minutes of my time. Now I feel in the beginning of the week I am doing so much busywork to get it over with that I am burned out for the rest of the week

I see all these posts "wow, the game feels so alive again'. But is it? Everyone funnels to the same 8 spots, puts a 5 minute timer on their phone, watch some YouTube or scroll a bit, click once, kill world boss. Reset timer...repeat 5 or more times. Very boring compared to what we had before.

Those challenges should be way way less specific. They got it right with golden pursuit with "complete 5 dungeons' or kill 20 world bosses. The way it is now is boring and I am more waiting than playing the game.

Then there are the 'kill 1000+ of XXX' that last a month. I know you have a whole season, but ESO has been ramming into peoples head to complete everything as fast as possible. So, the other day I even changed my built to so I could steal as many easy crab kills from a distance from other players to get it done more quickly while the other part was farmed in a random +boss group while I was cooking. And yesterday I did the kill 100 bosses in Blessed Crucible at the part where there spawn 4 werewolf bosses, kill 3, jump in lava to die and repeat a few times to get that out of the way. And now I am burned out for the rest of the week and went back to Starfield.

And all of this is grinding is just to unlock the pages that have endeavors and trade bars on them. I don't get it. People used to complain that they were burned out with event. Now it feels like the game is constant having 20 events and they love it.

As has been mentioned though, if you’re turning the game into a job, it’s gonna feel like a job. So don’t.

Remember: the free track of Tomes has 20k points worth of stuff to earn. That’s it. Any points you earn over 20k are unnecessary and will just get thrown out at the end of the season. For Premium, you have a few more things to buy, but then you also don’t lose the Tome and can keep buying things from it later.

I did a quick off-the-cuff calculation based on last week having 6500 Points, and that was after the season was live about 10 days. At 6500 points in 10 days, that means I’ll have around 58,500 points at the end. That’s over 30k points that are going straight into the trash.

For anyone who plays regularly, you will throw away more Points than you can possibly use. So… why do you need to maximize your gains or get it as fast as possible? Are you not throwing things away fast enough?

Some of the design decisions behind BGs are awful and I cannot believe they haven't been fixed yet.

Item 1 - Not Leaving The Spawn

• Playing deathmatch? Have fun waiting around for more than half the match while 1 of the enemy players sits on the spawn platform for 3+ minutes. This has to be changed as it's such a waste of time.

Item 2 - Entering the Map by falling off a Platform

• Is your team behind in a deathmatch? Well get ****ed, now you all have to be CC'd for 1.5 seconds when re-entering the fight because, after respawning, you have to enter the map by falling off a platform. And while falling, the enemies can hit you with abilities, but you can't do anything about it.

Genuinely embarrassing game design.

I won't comment on the PvP side of things since I do not PvP, but let's not pretend that this thread is anything other than a "we might suffer so they should too" type of thread.

As was mentioned in one of the posts above, this is a direct response to the recent Vengeance thread and to the concern that Scenario #2 is the future of PvP.

Bingo. It's a non-starter anyway because PvE does not have anywhere close to the performance issues of Cyrodiil. And PvP players have been making it clear for years that fixing performance should be their top priority. They tried for years to do just that so it's not surprising that their tests revealed that certain solutions simply aren't feasible.

Suffer? I’d like the option to have access to a better performing game in PvE and ZOS has the answer.
