Re: 600+ days played character 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
Your character is obsolete in what way ?
Are you totally unable to use subclassing to add a new skill line ? Have you used each of your skill points and you have no gold to reroll them ? Are new pieces of gear, both crafted and looted, totally unavailable to you ? Is TESO even playable anymore in your perspective ?!?
Obsolete in which way ?!? O_O
...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.
You're obviously obsessed with competition, maybe take a break, breathe a little, go explore Tamriel, do some crafting or housing, marvel to the beautiful landscapes, and remember that the game still is playable for you. Changing your character and shifting your strategy is, like, a basic in a MMORPG. It happens sometimes, it's not a big deal, don't worry.
And regarding the fact that you may have a single master crafter character and other characters for other purposes... welcome to TESO, I guess ?
Re: 600+ days played character is now obsolete thanks to Subclassing
The high end competitive gameplay has ALWAYS been very specific, with specific classes with specific armor sets in specific roles, and some classes not desired at all, depending on the content. Subclassing gives you more options in how you play your character, not fewer.

Re: Extremely Low Midyear Mayhem Turnout, Why?
I feel like I'm screaming into the void but...
"extremly low turnout" and a"2 hour queue" just don't go hand in hand (at least in zos pov). They will say oh look our logs said the queue is 2 hours clearly there is a ton of participation for the event.
But... everyones afk.

Massive kudos to the Art team for like the billionth time!!
I've been saving my crowns from the plus membership for a while now. So when the Aug 5th items dropped I went to town! The giantkin styles, mamoth and an extra outfit style were all copped like 1min after being released! And several piece of the giantkin style are already incorporated into my toons load out. Really enjoying the art styles on these items! And just want to keep encouraging and commend the work that goes into this game and all of its art.
I also really feel like posting here, feedback is genuinely taken into consideration as it really has proven so in past instances. So I would like to post some more inspiration for my toons envisioned perfect chest piece style. I've really been liking the black drake clan wrap jerkin style but there a few minor annoyances so in effort to really hit home. I was intending to leave just another suggestion for inspiration toward another future barbaric style. That would be incorporating the black drake style and the jesters seeker suit style jerkin. A sort of combination of these would be amazing! In the sense that:
-I am looking for a chest style that has long protruding hair/fur but open chest with no or minimal clothing/armor and especially no sleeves maybe an arm band or 2.
- I love how the black drake crowds the neck/bottom part the helmet portion of the toon but don't care for the braids and hair ties. Also I wish to be able to die the white fur either black or brown.
- as for the jesters I love how the style drapes down the back and the front is very cool but would ideally like some separation in the middle like black drake. Also there is a gap from the helmet to shoulders. And would have been really outstanding if the was no cloth underneath.
Some pics for reference:
-in the first pic I am using the body markings to merge to where I hoped the hair/fur extended and the shape I wish it originally took.
So in essence if there were a brown/black or dyable fur version of the black drake that drapped down the back and did not have the braids or ties that would be absolutely perfect!!! There are a few other styles not mentioned that are also very close to this idea but the others have sleeves and or other forms of clothing underneath and are not nearly as exposed or barbarian esque.
Anyhow thanks for the time reading this post.
Also thanks for any possible future consideration!
Keep up the outstanding art work. I will be staying with ESO until the wheels fall off. Absolutely love being a part of this game!!

Re: The Crown Store has reached critical levels of immersion breakage
First of all, I'm going to use The Good Place censor vocabulary because I appreciate the time of the ZoS staff not having to mod my post. I promise I didn't use any mildy bad sounding words, and you don't get paid enough to read through it. I'm going to do a massive ash post because I'm absolutely bored but I've seen and read too much bullshirt here. I do have a complaint for ZoS that I'm going to post in the end, in case you're interested in the actual feeedback. Or if there's not a character limit in forums.
For users reading: Please, brace with me, and read most of my answers. I had the time to do, so did you. Maybe you're shouting at me when you agree with me. Or maybe you're not shouting at me loud enough!
Starting with OP:
Same thing for the dance personality. It's odd, I agree. Do I like it? Absolutely not. Did I buy it? Nope. Did someone else buy it, probably because they liked it in a certain way? Kinda yea, so I think it's fine for them. Still, if you have an issue with Dancer personality, but not with Jester or Duchess, either you're just missing the point, or posting 7 years too late.
As a vet player, this was the triggering comment for me to start reading. Congrats I guess. Tamriel Hero is a basic ash CP 270 player that got gifted ebon style, leeched the rest out of a guild bank and got a basic ash mount. "2025" is a cp800 player that chose to use bright colours because they found it funny and just got the achieves. It lacks sense of fashion or style, but at least they're doing something else than put a couple of heavy armor pieces together.
Are you bothered about the 2018 jack piece, the 2020 hat, the eyes that were in a trial skin in 2017, or any of the barely visible pieces that are likely old as fork? Or maybe it's the lipstick (basegame innit?), beard (basegame again?) and kinda funny looking personality that doesn't match because it is not what a male char should look like in your mind? I can probably guess most dyes in the pic, and the darker green is from blackwood or high isle (2021/22), the rest are from 2020, 2019 and 2017. If I'm right, you're 4 years late. If I'm wrong, correct me, and tell me you can't do that with Vivec blue, anequina orange, stone thorn pale green and some others. Go for it.
Legit, if it would be something similar to "why would these people mix these lore inaccurate styles", I would say "you're a bit of a lore geek, but I guess you have a point". But I simply sense you'd be alright if that char was a female one. Somehow. My spider sense is tingling strongly on this.
Referring to this because I don't want to sound as grumpier than I am, and I legit think this is the first non-staff post that is not ill intentioned in the first page. Thank you for being some sort of beacon of faith in esoforums, Vonnegut2506.
On to page two adventure! Hopefully it gets lighter!
You like an oblivion dress most people would likely ignore (even two decades long TES fans). Most people would not pay 1.8k crowns (quoting warden bear current style) for a WW style that changes your pets. That doesn't make it better or worse than any other, just stating that this in the end is both a game and a commercial endeavour. Numbers are numbers.
With all due respect, the demographic needs to be big enough to be profitable. And WW are not that popular nowadays, even less after HA sorcs became such a popular option. I understand you're big time into werewolves, and completely respectable, but this game doesn't revolve as much as you'd like around that, it will never will. Don't expect WW sneak ever, it doesn't make that much sense, they're a >2m roaring mass of muscles.
On to page 3, will I make it to the end?
That's all the seriousness I'm going to express about this comment. That's what you get.
If you look at older apex mounts, you see they have effects. Now they don't. Given how radiant apex availability has increased (thank the EU laws for gem prices on radiants, NA), and all crown items in general (endeavours, again, EU laws), they have to increase the odds of players buying stuff. If the releasing rate of expensive fancy stuff is faster than people are able to pile up on endeavours they may pay for gems.
Don't see this? Check radiant apex vs apex difference in 2017-2018 to last few years, and tell me I'm wrong. Radiants were not that better compared to apex mounts. They made apex worse, radiants better (or having stuff tied to polymorph+mount, such in current crates or molag bal ones). Goal is clear: you won't set up with a 400 gem horse, you want the 2500 gems one).
Still don't see this? Why is a certain radiant priced 2500 gems, another one is 1600, another is priced 1200. Is it random?
Sincerely,
Theo Gorath. (my breton healcro me wanted to post for no reason. You can also guess the face).
If you're genuine about this, think deeply about why do you somehow find that wrong, and it may surprise you. Not a conversation I'm having in this forum, since it's fairly political.
Not sure I'm making it to the end of page four.
Meanwhile the second one is only used by none but freemium players. With all due respect, either leaves fit the char theme, or the dolmen is just nicer. Maybe they do prefer something else. But that's the fun part: everyone can choose!
Werewolves are not as common nowadays, because right now, they're a terrible choice for many reasons. If people are not using WW, they'll likely not buy a skin for WW.
You complain about lore breaking, then you compare vampirism to briarhearts? Last time I checked reachmen were not a playable race, so tell me if an altmer briarheart is not even more lore breaking. It's alright that you want that one.
One of my moast loathed mounts are the Baandari apex mounts, with the exception of the spider. They look like legendary mounts with lazy aesthetics. Spider just has the compass ring around and a small canopy. I got the wolf as a random drop, made me felt I just got scammed (and I love wolf mounts). Not saying I'm right and you're wrong, but that different people have different opinions.
Stealing the potato part of your message for mine.
We usually don't clown in real world about daedric princes due to the minor fact that they're not real. For the sake of clowning about the top big guy in the game, check The Funniest Joke in the World, by The Monty Python, and check who are they mocking. You can tell me it's 55 years old comedy. I'll still tell you they have more impact on nowadays comedy than The Beatles have in music. I would give more modern references if they were as noticeable without the retrospective (who's the biggest worst guy in real life right now, for every person in the world?).
On non horse mounts... sure, people don't ride wolves or senches often. But it covers different demographic, it's just a different model anyway. If you want the horse, buy the horse. If you simply want all mounts to be a horse, what about next guy saying he wants all guars? Right now both can buy one.
Lamp Knight has already been used in-game, in the scholarium quest line, which is not a minor thing nor a sidequest. Betnikh was developed at least 12 years ago, so unlikely it lands 2022 content. Source: I played beta.
Zany: surprisingly different and a little strange, and therefore amusing and interesting. Maybe some people find that amusing and interesting. You may not. Both is good.
Okay page 5 here we go.
Surprisingly, nothing I want to comment on page 5.
As promised for @ZOS_Kevin , feedback: I feel effort in last years Apex rewards has lowered. Introducing lazily done skins (Sanguine's Disciple original textures, as an example), personalities and others as apex when they could be legendary, while the apex mounts feel less valuable, and the gap between radiant apex and apex being bigger than ever. Stuff like a little glow, a little animation, a subtle trail is something I personally value. Others may not. I understand it's also about monetisation, time, teams management and a lot of other things, and last decent apex mounts were in 2022, so maybe I'm late on this. Current radiant mounts feel a bit too much sometimes, but not that terribly. Spellscar Quasigriff is probably the epythome of tacky. But I also see people using it, so it may be my taste.
On Crown Store stuff, selling a Mammoth is something special and anticipated enough, so we probably don't need to have a flashy mammoth next year in crown crates. It will also make many feel they wasted 4k crowns because the new one is just fancier. Sales can be boosted by mini-events, just put it on sale for short periods every now and then (like the Great Dark Stag), have a small event related to social media to boost game visibility for a chance of a free mammoth code for participants. Brainstorming here, just quoting things that have worked somewhere else in similar scenarios.
Just giving feedback as a customer, do with it what you feel.

Starting with OP:
Would that be okay if the dancing individual was a skeleton, a factotum, a draugr or a xivkyn? At least a Molag Bal illusion makes sense lore-wise, in terms of impersonating an important figure. Who the fork would polymorph a shirty skeleton for lore reasons? If you're equally bothered, then you're 7 to 8 years late. What took you so long?I ran into a dancing Molag Bal, in the middle of town.
On the image (skipped for compact message): You have to ramp in place for the sword arms to show. It's a meridia blessed horse, so give them a little room. Air atro vibes idk. People spent currency on that, and to be fair, they're a cool mount that feels somehow different. Even when 99% of the time, owners just fork on about their business and don't pop the arms out. You don't like that? I don't like mounts that drop a meteor when spawning, but I respect people's right to buy them, use them, and enjoy them. The joy they get from using them is probably way bigger than the discomfort I get from seeing things I wouldn't buy even if I could.Anyone remember this?
Personally the dancer personality where people wiggle non stop is kind of odd...like what is wrong with them.

Hello lostineternity. I can reccommend you games that have historical style cosmetics where you are a knight and fight with a Zweihander with a accurate century and location brigandine and klappvisier. For the sake of realism, you can also be a dwarf, carry a lute and play metal songs. While you're installing these games, I may tell you this is a fantasy game, and a at least a partly profit driven company.

We usually don't clown in real world about daedric princes due to the minor fact that they're not real. For the sake of clowning about the top big guy in the game, check The Funniest Joke in the World, by The Monty Python, and check who are they mocking. You can tell me it's 55 years old comedy. I'll still tell you they have more impact on nowadays comedy than The Beatles have in music. I would give more modern references if they were as noticeable without the retrospective (who's the biggest worst guy in real life right now, for every person in the world?).
It's a constant I, I, I. But your priority doesn't necessarily align with other people's. I can tell you the current Mammoth is outselling any Echatere they release. Gut feeling, but I know I'm right. Not saying you're wrong about liking A or B more, just saying it's a money game. I'd love if crown stuff got more representation, it would work great for marketing purposes too, quick "buy now option" if available or saying source. But there's a minor issue: Content is designed months before crown crates are released or even done. So it could end up being a mess. Asking for basegame content to be redone to market crown crates stuff (and some of them being legendary mounts that can't be told from many others and are not going to grab any looks) is just not having a grasp of how things work.Prophet_of_Malacath wrote: »I'd buy an Echatere mount - we see them used by merchants as pack animals, herded by Clan Shatul, in the wild, etc. I'd buy a silt strider pack companion after seeing NPC merchants & Ashlanders traveling with them.
Gloomspore Mounts (in Blackreach)? Vampire thrall skins? Lamp Knight armor? What they all have in common is that they have in-game representation and thus players can form attachments to some or come up with cohesive reasons to have one. One group of friends all got Gloomspore mounts after an adventure in Blackreach, figuring we already had a mycoturge in the guild & OOC it'd be our little memory of the expedition.
Not Great?
The "Ice Wolf" claims Nords of Hjaalmarch ride them yet no one in Morthal does - they only have 4 horses in their stables.
The "Black Bear" claims warriors use them as mounts in northern High Rock & Skyim - but Shornhelm's stables are all horses.
These aren't even obviously glowy mounts - an overwhelming amount of the time, humans either (1) don't use mounts or (2) only have horses. I feel like I'm being pranked each time a mount claims to be used by humans & yet never appear unless its a horse.
I'd argue some of the consistently strongest Crown Crate products are the styles & weapons - I love seeing Lamp Knight on NPCs, I'd love to see Betnikh orcs wearing Seamount style, etc.
The strongest crate items are always the ones one would be willing to use on an NPC in-game. If something is too zany for that low bar, then it's going to be distracting.
On non horse mounts... sure, people don't ride wolves or senches often. But it covers different demographic, it's just a different model anyway. If you want the horse, buy the horse. If you simply want all mounts to be a horse, what about next guy saying he wants all guars? Right now both can buy one.
Lamp Knight has already been used in-game, in the scholarium quest line, which is not a minor thing nor a sidequest. Betnikh was developed at least 12 years ago, so unlikely it lands 2022 content. Source: I played beta.
Zany: surprisingly different and a little strange, and therefore amusing and interesting. Maybe some people find that amusing and interesting. You may not. Both is good.
Okay page 5 here we go.
Surprisingly, nothing I want to comment on page 5.
As promised for @ZOS_Kevin , feedback: I feel effort in last years Apex rewards has lowered. Introducing lazily done skins (Sanguine's Disciple original textures, as an example), personalities and others as apex when they could be legendary, while the apex mounts feel less valuable, and the gap between radiant apex and apex being bigger than ever. Stuff like a little glow, a little animation, a subtle trail is something I personally value. Others may not. I understand it's also about monetisation, time, teams management and a lot of other things, and last decent apex mounts were in 2022, so maybe I'm late on this. Current radiant mounts feel a bit too much sometimes, but not that terribly. Spellscar Quasigriff is probably the epythome of tacky. But I also see people using it, so it may be my taste.
On Crown Store stuff, selling a Mammoth is something special and anticipated enough, so we probably don't need to have a flashy mammoth next year in crown crates. It will also make many feel they wasted 4k crowns because the new one is just fancier. Sales can be boosted by mini-events, just put it on sale for short periods every now and then (like the Great Dark Stag), have a small event related to social media to boost game visibility for a chance of a free mammoth code for participants. Brainstorming here, just quoting things that have worked somewhere else in similar scenarios.
Just giving feedback as a customer, do with it what you feel.
If you made it here, reader, thanks for reading my book. If you read it completely, it'll be available in audiobook format already, probably. Have two potatoes 🥔🥔. If you just read this last bit, please, don't steal the potatoes.
Re: Are we supposed to be getting increased Archival Fortunes in IA?
And now apparently it's been fixed. They must have been able to adjust the drop rate while the game is online. I went back in a little over an hour ago (when that last screenshot was posted) and the drop amount corrected somewhere around Arc 2-3-0.
Re: Could We Change Ghostly Embrace To Hit In Same Location 3 Times Instead Of Moving Forward?
It already does this when you cast it into a wall, but I wish the devs would make it always tick 3 times in the same spot. That's the only time the ability feels good to use/hits reliably/competes with other AoEs that do more for less cost.
New Polar Warden Bear Skill Style
Not sure if this is a bug or not, but this skill style "flips" the bear models. The traditional model with the glowing eyes for the "Eternal Guardian" is now applied to the "Wild Guardian" and vice versa with the "Wild Guardian" model with the marking being applied to the "Eternal Guardian". Because the preview menu for the skill style was bugged and forced your character in front of the bear summon, players could not see this before purchase. Both of these situations are incredibly strange.
Re: PSA: Mammoth Mount 4K, Snow Bear Style 1.8K in store! 5-12/08/25 - praise marketing team

I thought Arc 1 Tho'at dropped 330, so double drop at 660.
Here's a screenshot of Arc 2 Pilferer loot which should be 330, and it dropped 660 as well.
And here's the Arc 2 Marauder loot.
