I kept playing because it's TES universe, the game is very solo-friendly, and has the semi-realistic graphics that I like.

On second thought, just release the full style already.

I do think and agree that something more than the yearly FOMO items would be a more fitting tribute for Julian.

Perhaps an npc priest of Julianos called Julian, LeFay or outright Julian LeFay can be placed at a chapel to the Divines or the chapel of Julianos in Skingrad.

Maybe a lorebook found in similar locations honoring him, or a free (non FOMO) cosmetic (be it a emote, outfit, costume, etc) referencing him can be made, obtainable at anytime through a short quest or something of the likes.

Or just one of the many various random shrines ESO has made and added to the worldspace to honor other deceased people. ZOS could go a step further and try to honor the entirety of the Council of Wisdom alongside Julian if they went the lorebook route as well.

Either way doesn't have to be anything big, but would be touching to see Julian immortalized in ESO someway.

Eso in general is lacking in accessibility. Not only does it have effects such as this (with no warning) it also doesnt have a viable colorblind mode.

I feel both options should be added to the game as settings.

The npc dialogues are.

In all the time I've been playing this game I never saw anyone in the group waiting for the player(s) who has/have the quest. Everyone who has already done the quest just proceeds at normal pace and the one(s) doing the quest just needs to catch up after the long dialogues.

I am sorry if I come across negative negative in this post, but I wouldn't make a forum account just to comment on this very issue if I didn't think the game didn't had many strong points as well, however the point of difficulty is the number 1 issue as far as I, and many others are concerned. I've read through about 30-40 pages of this discussion, and there are many good points but also many disingenuous arguments. I am what could be characterized as a "new player", I've owned the game since 2017 and have tried many times to get into it, but the farthest I've come is lvl 48. I have introduced several friends to the game as well a long time ago, and they also bounced off the game once unlocking the dungeon finder and realizing that there is simply no challenge to be had. This whole thread is essentially anecdotes against anecdotes, but I would love to see the official stats, because I have a feeling most people quit during the first 10 levels, or shortly after engaging a bit with the dungeon finder.

Saying this game is easy is a massive understatement, I have played games for a long time and never have I played a game where the lack of difficulty was such an obvious issue. I would be willing to bet my life savings that this game has lost at the least tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of potential players, because the game insists that you don't have to engage with it's mechanics in any way. Expecting the average player to have to slog through 100 hours of content before being presented with a challenge or having to engage with CORE mechanics is NOT reasonable, and I think many here vastly underrate the skill level of the average gamer if they think this is a good introduction to the game.

There are entire solar systems between the difficulty of this game and Dark Souls, so fearing that the game will suddenly become too hardcore I find disingenuous. Even other TES games like Skyrim or Oblivion are 10 times harder than this game. The fear that it will simply take longer to get rewards, I also find odd. You don't judge the quality of video game by the frequency and ease of which a player receives rewards, it's not a slot machine, it's a video game and video games are supposed to be engaging.

The point made by the opposers I sympathise the most with is the accessibility issue, I really do understand that if you already find the game difficult because of age or disabilities that a difficulty increase is concerning, but unfortunately I also think that if a game has skills, blocks, dodges ect. it is reasonable that the game is balanced around utilizing these, I know it sounds harsh, but at the end of the day it is an ARPG. Luckily it seems vet overland is going to be opt in as to not make things more difficult for these players.

I would love to get back into this game, and buy it for my friends so we could play it together, but as it stands this game is so mind numbingly easy making core mechanics of the game irrelevant, and making progression feel unrewarding as you basically steamroll everything by level 1, so you never feel any need to get stronger. All of it becomes meaningless, it essentially makes all the core content of the game wasted content, because many of the bosses ect have abilities that never end up mattering which makes one wonder why they were implemented in the first place. I would love for ZoS to make a vet server, with difficulty more appropriate for the average gamer, because I can say confidently that the way this game is balanced currently is not for us.

What about the veteran players that already have all these items? If there is no XP bonus for crafting there is nothing in this GP for them. I'm one of those players.

I already have 75,000 seals of endeavor. (nothing but flash cosmetics in crown store, so no interest there)
I already have 25,000 writ vouchers. (already bought everything vendor has to offer and have over 500 aetherial ambrosia)
The crafting stations are virtually useless without the ability to donate them to a guild to build a guild house with all the stations.

So, without an XP boost for crafting, this GP offers nothing to the vet players they don't already have an overabundance of.

The GP is optional. If it offers nothing a player wants or needs, that player can simply choose not participate in it and stick to the activities they find more suitable to their playstyle.

The game is optional. So your suggestion is less than helpful. But you do make an important point. When a game no longer offers it's loyal, long time players anything, it is time for them to move on to some other activity in life or play a different game.
