Hi all, thank you for noting the pricing issue with the Pirate Costume Pack. We are in the process of correcting the Crown price and will work to issue refunds to players who purchased it at the incorrect price.

We will let you know when we update the price to be correct.

Why does that werewolf look like it is from Cyberpunk? Is there a version without the glowing markings?

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.

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.

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

We're getting a great overall outcome where both subclassing exists as an option and non-subclassed builds get buffs to be competitive.

I hope it's balanced so that there's build variety, but high-end DPS roles tend to be somewhat narrower anyway.

The result isn’t motivation — it’s fatigue.
You stop choosing what you want to do, and start clearing things just to make the noise go away.

That’s why people are asking for downtime — not less content, just space to actually play on their own terms again.

It still impacts those others who do want these events. Perhaps we need an "opt out" system to help those struggling with event fatigue, where reminders and all other in-game communication regarding the event is removed on the player's end.

Are these the only things that those who like these events want to do? Wouldn't they like time to quest, and run dungeons and trials and the IA, and do housing etc., too? There needs to be a balance and right now we are being pushed heavily into tasks.

The problem is that you are thinking about this like a gamer from 2010 who only plays one game.

It’s 2026. The landscape of video gaming has changed significantly.

Gaming is no longer a “for fun” thing, it’s a service. If you have a period where you aren’t offering things to do (and get rewarded to do) then you’re going to lose audience to the other competitors who are.

Is it good? No. But is that how it is? Yep.

I feel like a lot of the “I only play Elder Scrolls” fans who haven’t played many games since Skyrim are now feeling like ESO is betraying itself. But it’s just evolving to match the current times, and this is how gaming in 2026 operates. ESO is a living product - heck, back in 2014, ESO funneled everyone into PvP as the only endgame, so even the “Skyrim with Friends” thing people think is ESO’s lifeblood was a ‘betrayal of what it originally was.’

Anyone who knows anything about modern gaming heard the dev stream about Season Pass and groaned. We know what that means: less content, more FOMO, more task lists instead of free-form, and more monetization. But the devs knew how to sell it, and a lot of players heard what they were selling and believed “more updates! More to do! More fun!” They scoffed at the people who warned about what modern game season passes meant.
And now we’re seeing that those people were right all along.

Nobody is going to get Microsoft to choose the player-friendly-but-less-profit path. Ever. And if you think you will, I have a bridge to sell you.
The only choice you have is to make a personal stand and say “I’m not playing your manipulative game.” Stop grinding if you don’t want it. Silence that voice inside that complains that you have unfinished tasks in a list you don’t want to do. Heck, if it’s too much, uninstall and go play an old non-Live-service game that doesn’t manipulate you.

Modern gaming in 2026 is all about learning to resist manipulation. And that’s a personal thing. You’re not going to get the big companies to stop, but you will be able to train your brain to resist.

The focus going towards only Vengeance

1 test every 3mo for a full year, 0 combat balance problems addressed (or even commented on), that sure does not seem like much focus on Vengeance. I would wager their focus is on the class reworks and the supposed new PvP keep siege battlegrounds mode.

Its more concern than they're seemingly showing for Greyhost, the only new thing we've seen is their making Chal, Ash and Alessia bigger.

Though yea, I forgot about whatever this smaller cyrodiil map is supposed to be. Again they wouldn't be getting so much heat if they just let Greyhost be open alongside Vengeance like the last test we got, on the second half of it anyway.

Its clear that while the other teams on Zos involved with the class refresh and the rest of the game are making a very solid attempt to understand what we want and make changes accordingly, the PvP side of the team even without Rich Lambert are still very out of touch with reality in relation to who is playing PvP, who WILL play PvP and what we want from it. They themselves decided that instead of finding out what they want, lets make PvP for us and what we wanted it to be. Rather than what the community has crafted out of it in spite of Zos' failings.

I honestly think they are just looking at bad data. The survey questions were very skewed with alot of questions having the majority of responses being marked as "favorable".

I also think they are just looking at flat playercount/time logged into vengence and saying "look people love it we have record number of players logged in and record play time for pvp."

Their surveys do seem skewed yes, and the only good thing about them is that they let you add comments to clarify the choices you picked. This is why I half jokingly said I'd take a job from them just to address the issues in pvp, they seriously need a team of people that actually play in some capacity, even if its ballgrouping since at least then Zos would understand how ridiculous and how much of an issue those are. They gotta pvp in cyrodiil some way, somehow before they can actually understand the data they're looking at. Rather than being laymen in their own game and trying to understand community comments and data with no real point of reference.

For instance they're looking at the lag spikes in cyrodiil and calling it a problem related to sets and all the different skills from new skill lines they've added to the game. Seasoned Cyrodiil players know what this actually is.

The only two moments in Cyrodiil currently where the game truly feels unplayable are when Volendrung spawns, and Ballgroups, especially multiple Ballgroups appear. And usually, Volendrung brings lag because it attracts the latter. Big zergs have some lag sure, but more times than not what players are experiencing from zergs isn't lag its their PC performance suffering.

In the case of Ballgroups, its often both. In summary, if Zos played their own game more they'd know how out of hand Ballgroups have really gotten, and the only thing they really need to focus on for greyhost from a technical level anyway is, how to power down ballgroups. They've finally started taking a real look at this with the most recent heal stacking nerf but it isn't enough. They need to roll back that statement of "we can't fix greyhost" and do what we've been begging them to for years, rather than switching focus to other game modes frankly that no one asked for.
