I opened this thinking it "oh maybe zos decided to remove mammoths from the game after seeing their massive fluffy butts peddle across vivec, looking completely misplaced - happy day". This reality is sadder though, but I am happy people understand that humans need time and spaces to enjoy life, and that living paycheck to paycheck doesn't make you some kind of robot that stops having desires and wanting things.

For those that don't know, earlier in the year ESO did a series of golden pursuit events giving out the various Alliance Hero costumes as seen on the game website and key art and trailers for the game. Some years before this, another variant of these outfit styles were available for purchase in the crown store but were not available for many years. These two ways have been the only path to acquire these sets, and there is no way to acquire them currently.

As someone who was completely not tuned into how games industry marketing works, I bought the collector's copy of the game back in 2013 based on how cool the key art and cinematics were, and I was darn disappointed that you can never look like the badass dudes in the trailers -- which are meant to represent the player characters. In retrospect, it was a clear case of deceptive advertising. The game doesn't look like those trailers at all, and you cannot even acquire the armor (used in the main marketing imagery for over a decade now) through regular gameplay.

In my opinion, the costumes should be a main reward for having completed an Alliance questline, or be made aquireable somehow for regular players who purchased the game. I really don't mean to be scathing the studio over this, since it is a small complaint all things considered and the game is really very good, but I think something like this would be a nice gesture.

I'd like them to take a break at least for some time and flesh out other game's features more instead, they can't squeeze new companions everywhere forever. Maybe release races which didn't got anything first before for people starving for it. Or even flesh out the feature itself, as there's nothing really to write songs about.

The map leads are so frustrating. I really wish ZOS would do something to fix them.

It is incorrect to say that the three original 'Hero' costumes 'were not available for many years'.
They have appeared in the Crown Store on a fairly regular rotation since introduction.

Breton Hero Armor
Elven Hero Armor
Nord Hero Armor

My main character, the one I've done all quests on and discovered all points of interest, found all skyshards, learned all crafting, etc. is now obsolete thanks to Subclassing. The builds that I need to stay competitive are no longer possible on my main class, so I must reroll another character and start fresh. Either that or buy skill lines from the crown store and switch characters anytime I need something crafted. You get the idea.

It's also been said before but Subclassing has distilled combat down to maybe 5 skill lines for the serious high-end competitive gameplay.

"oh wow, you're playing XYZ... how original" etc

...ok I'm kidding, I'm being sarcastic, it's just another case of player complaining for non-existing problem, and it gets really annoying as the times passes by.

It's not a non existent problem, do you play PvP? However it is a return to form for DK, ironically while everything else has dissolved, we've reconstituted.

There is absolutely no universe in which subclassing breaks TESO and renders it unplayable. It's just another way to play the game. For example, as a nightblade, my main character is far more secure and agreable to play now that it was before Subclassing.

If you like PvP, you like challenge. You're not forced to use Subclassing but if opponent players use it and it gives them a chance to best you ? See it as a challenge and rethink your character and strategy. It's just a new puzzle to solve to improve yourself. That's how competition works, by the way, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and when you lose, absolutely nothing in the universe forces you to post a forum thread to complain. Again : new way of playing, puzzle to solve.

ZOS do not learn anything at all?

Game needs refresh every patch, otherwise it will be boring [snip]. Why do you think you lost about 60% of your community? Because you keep meta for year and like that.
Once i saw good changes about sorcs i was happy to think that modern boring meta-builds for PvP will begone, but since they reverted changes for this class [snip], there's no actual change in PvP and only more stable subclass-release meta.

Dude, booooooooooring, give me something new [snip]

How many guild invites do you get? Just click Decline. Don't even think about it. You're not hurting their feelings.

it's not about hurting their feelings. they are using some sort of addon/script/whatever to automate it and they stand in the middle of the crafting area. if you are doing dailies on your toons and have a guild spot available, you will get it 1-5 times per character depending on how many times you run past them... on every toon you are doing dailies on.

For years we've had huge changes every 3 months - no, thanks.
The playerbase was tired and made it clear. Devs reacted accordingly and the past 2 years have been easier on us.
Personally I don't want to come back to dramatic changes every 3 months, I very much prefer as it is now.
