Re: Is Solstice worth buying?
For me personally, I'm going to need to see a lot more investment into the game by ZOS before I invest more into ESO.
For me it's not worth it, at least not at the current price for sure.

Re: Can we please change hardmode for Crypt of Heart 2 and Banished Cells 2?

This is veretal content. Veteran... as in "not supposed to be easy". Veteran as in "not designed for PUGs with no or limited knowledge". How can we possibly expect players to get used to more complicated trial mechanics if we dull down each and every opportunity to teachand practice by removing even the easiest mechanics and allowing them to burn everything?
It's bad game design because you can complete the entire encounter without ever knowing that you missed a mechanic for HM rewards.
If you could read a scroll that would make it so that killing a Daedroth/Wraith automatically wipes the group, new players will understand that there are extra mechanics that need to be completed.
If you can't PUG base game veteran dungeons, that's... sort of your problem. 😂
Most people can, and regularly do PUG veteran HM pledges, with zero issues. The things that make those two dungeons unique (in a bad way) are the missable HM mechanics. You don't see them in normal mode, and they are not a completion condition on veteran mode.
I'm also a little surprised that you think these mechanics are good practice to prepare players for trials... I mean, in BC2, the HM mechanic is literally for the dd's to ignore the adds and focus on the boss (the complete opposite of what you're supposed to do in 99% of trials,) and in CoH2, you just have to slow down your dps, plus ignore adds (which, again, is the complete opposite of what you're supposed to do in 99% of trials.)
It's bad game design, plain and simple.
If you have the undaunted pledge it tells you in the description exactly what you need to do for the hard mode. In console UI it's top right of the screen, no idea for PC.
Base game dungeons are easy, let's not dumb down them even more.
Re: Can we PLEASE have an actual YELLOW dye?!?
Funny with the mention of the goldenrod dye... This is what I was expecting color-wise when I saw on PTS the upcoming goldenrod dye was coming:
So yeah
I'm also waiting for a ''House Mornard'' yellow, OP

Re: Enough of the Terrier Bones!!!!
Don't let the terrier's cute face fool you, he wishes only to bathe in the bones of your enemies.
Be grateful ZOS gives you extra bones, otherwise the terrier would bathe in your bones.

Re: With Dev schedule changing, can PTS NA/EU schedule please be more balanced?
I was thinking about this today just do it like this
Q1: NA then EU
Q2: EU then NA
Q3: NA then EU
Q4: EU then NA
You could even not do a copy at the start of every cycle but I imagine players want that 3 month update to PTS for the 3 weeks but at least with the above both sides get around 6 months over a year on the PTS.
If you didnt copy at the start and just left it then you save a job from someone having to do the copy first week.

Not having a Survey Assistant takes away time for players to go into different zones.
I like to complete every quest in every zone on all of my characters. Right now only 4 of my 7 have finished them all. I still need a handful of zones on 2 of them and almost every zone on 1, so I am spending most of my time out in the world. Being able to spend less time on chores would give me more time to do that.
Just running across another player walking from node to node gathering surveys then running off doesn't feel like an MMO to me. Running into others fighting World Bosses, or clearing Dolmens and other zone events, and in Delves and Public Dungeons, and even in towns are what makes it feel like an MMO to me. All things players would do more of if they had more time.
Exactly this.
Surveys are busywork, while Incursions, World Bosses, and so on are not. People will still be out in the world regardless of whether they're still manually completing Surveys.

Re: Assistant for survey maps
I do complete the surveys as I get them. But it takes another half hour or more after doing the daily writs that I'd rather spend on other activities. Then add in any maps I got that need collected too, and master writs, and completing the daily endeavors. It's not unusual for me to spend an hour and a half on these chores before I get to actually play.
I'm not asking for anything more than I'm already receiving, and I'm willing to take less mats for the convenience. I see nothing wrong with that.
