Lets be real here.
“Stuff to do” is not the same as “engaging content.” I have plenty of “stuff to do” at home and at work. I call most of it chores.
ESO lately feels like the same thing: chores, but with a timer slapped on and a “special condition” sticker for flavor. It’s basically: Do the thing you’ve done a thousand times for years… but now with a progression bar to see number go up.
And then there’s ZOS with their new favorite word they mention 50 times in every stream: “rewaaaaaaaaaaaaaards.”
I am curious what the Night Market brings, though. Maybe it’ll feel fresh. Maybe it’ll feel original. Or maybe it’ll be yet another round of repackaged, refurbished, and reheated but now you get a rewarded for it. We’ll see.
But so far it all is exactly how shrinkflation went in other games I played over the years.

I think I'd disagree on this. The only parts of the game which absolutely cater to single-player are the Main Quest, the two guild stories, and solo arenas. There might be a quest or two in there somewhere among the ~2500 in the game which go to solo instances at some point, but the rest of the game supports either approach.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
My initial impression was that the class masteries are too weak, then I doubted a bit when some started saying they are broken, but I am also back to thinking they are not enough. There was a wow effect for a few day, yet when considering everything and leaving aside unintended interactions, none of the masteries are good enough to seriously compete with subclassing at least as far as pvp is concerned.
And it seems I am far from alone in my thinking.
You're not wrong. I didn't test every class, I figured there were enough mains to cover them all .. but when I looked at Sorc I saw the same thing you are.
People sometimes forget that there's an opportunity cost for choices we make in game. It's one thing to say X or Y Class Mastery passive is "good", in a vacuum .. but when one looks at those passives versus Subclassing that's where things fall short. There's no Class Mastery passive that I'm seeing that's going to present a sweeter opportunity than being able to slot a Merciless Resolve or Fatecarver or Shalks or Surprise Attack.
These Mastery passives, from what I understand, are supposed to be a partial class enhancement to hold us over whilst the Devs work on the class refreshes; then seeing the Mastery passives adjusted as each class is re-worked for balance.
These current Mastery passives aren't delivering the type of power or flexibility that Subclassing does, full stop.
It doesn't matter whether it's PvE or PvP, Subclassing just delivers too much and if the only restrictions Subclassed builds have are these weak passives it's going to be a hard sell convincing people to stick with a pure base class build versus subbing.
I don't doubt some people are seeing an increase in power by using the Class Mastery passives now than the power they were seeing before, BUT, that doesn't mean that the power they were outputting before the Mastery passives was anywhere near on par with the potential of what's out there; either for PvP or PvE.
Definitely. At the end of the day, passives can only do so much. It really is the abilities that matter.
Someone in this thread made an excellent point that illustrated that issue perfectly, something like, "Conservation of Energy is only good because it lets you use the Dark Magic passives without having to actually use any Dark Magic skills." Which is just so on the nose.
As, with basically one exception, Dark Magic skills are so trash that it is a mighty throw indeed to ever choose the skill line willingly. The Conservation passive is a complete condemnation of the entire line, an admission of defeat and capitulation.
And Dark Magic is hardly alone. Indeed, the ears of Shadow immediately perk-up, recognizing its kindred situation.
Character Slots Limits
Greetings,
I'm not sure if there is a specific category for this topic, so I'm just posting in General. As the title suggests I've a burning question about character slot limits.
Does ZOS have any plans to increase the character slot limit past the 20 maximum that exists now? If they did, would it need to be alongside another class release as in the past?
I personally have maxed my slots, and still would like more, at least 3 more but preferably 5 more. I don't think character slot additions need to be married to any class release. To the best of my recollection, at least once ZOS has added extra slots independent of any class release. I'm sure any future plans ZOS may have about adding or not any new classes won't be answered here. I did however want to get the question out, and post about my own desire for it. Hopefully some others will add their voices to, and ZOS will see the demand, and sell us some more character slots!

The glowing markings depend on the morph:
The unmorphed version has no markings
Berserker is the red eyes and claw marks
and Pack Leader has a green Hircine logo on the chest
There are also the three base colors (black, white, and ashen) which currently work as they do normally where the morph dictates the fur color. However, the Stonefalls Dynamic encounter drops fragments (1, 5, 10 for black, ashen, white) that you can consume to unlock the colors as skill styles and then you get whichever color you choose.
The pics above are all with the Ashen style. Here are the other two:
I should have asked before .y previous post, but do the skill styles hide the glow from the morphs when you equip them?
No. You can see in those images that the morphs are all shown with the Ashen style equipped.
Ostensibly the glow is to highlight to others which morph someone is using since the color no longer is the determinant signal anymore. Though I don’t know how relevant it is in PvP to know that, especially since one will have pets and the other won’t.
At least for screenshots and simple overland, the glow can be turned off by unmorphing the skill to base level.
Thanks for the response! I can't help but be irritated by the notion of having to unmorph the skill to have the non-glowey effects, though you are correct. I am very much in the camp that the glow shouldn't be necessary for either PVP or PVE since one morph has pet wolves and the other doesn't. Seems like a super unasked for and unnecessary addition to the new model.
Please allow us to clear Tome Challenges that have progress on them
I've had the same "collect 15 runestones" going on the third week now. But it won't reset with the weekly, because it has progress on it. Please allow us to drop ones that have progress, that we don't want to complete.
Re: Should 4v4v4 (3 Teams) Battleground mode become permanent again?
Yes but if you do please have a deathmatch only queue that is completely disconnected from the other modes
4v4v4 deathmatch = best bg mode in eso
4v4v4 chaosball = an ok mode, needs a snare to ball holder
4v4v4 relic = possibly redeemable mode, needs relics moved to central location and cap point near your base
4v4v4 flags = awful mode, please delete
4v4, 8v8 deathmatch = good in theory but usually very lopsided
4v4, 8v8 objectives = ok in theory but facing same issues
