Yes, we want to keep old content fresh.
After leaving a dungeon, I found a lead sparkling on the ground. There were many of these sparkling leads in High Isles. Perhaps more of that.
Just...on the...ground? Look, maybe in rare circumstances, but that sounds so incredibly boring to me. I know there are some people who have no interest in challenge but this is a game, and for a lot of people, most people I believe, a game requires motivation. Leads are a form of motivation. Leaving them on the ground is completely removing one of their primary purposes for existing.
Yes on the ground. Not in easy to find places.

10 for a provisioning station
I won't spoil the hunt for others by saying where I found them. There might be more out there that I haven't found yet.
I understand the desire for challenging content. I do not understand what is challenging for a CP2k+ to fight in a delve or public dungeon in the original alliance maps. Creating a new character would bring these folks back to the starter maps. But that seems to be part of the problem. After creating a new character the player wants to instant level them to 50 so they can slap those CPs on it and take it to where ever else they play.
What would you suggest be done to help new players have an enjoyable start to their experience with this game?
Sorry, are you implying that overland is not meant for veteran players? As something of a veteran with about 1700cp, overland is the entire reason I'm here. ESO is a TES game, and TES has always been about what we consider "overland content". So if overland isn't fun, I'm not interested in playing, but I know this game has potential and so here I am campaigning for improvements. I would spend so much more time in ESO if overland were actually challenging enough for me to enjoy.
I don't understand why certain people seem to take this stance, as if overland simply should not be played by vets. It is the essential TES experience in ESO after all. Overland simply needs to be made enjoyable for vets, and I'm sick to death of people saying "go do raids or dungeons" because that's not why I'm here and it's not what TES has ever been about prior to ESO. It's good content for those who want it, but it's only another component of the game, not something that should be an expected and required step along the path. Certainly, there are plenty of people who don't feel it necessary to engage with that content.
With regard to the new player experience, I am not here to discuss that and I'm not sure why you even brought it up. As far as I'm concerned, new players are fine in overland.
I am not implying that overland is not meant for veteran players. When it was written: " I know there are some people who have no interest in challenge but this is a game..." I stated: "I understand the desire for challenging content. I do not understand what is challenging for a CP2k+ to fight in a delve or public dungeon in the [starter zones.]"
I am addressing specific behavior of some players in that level area. Those who's behavior is disrupting the quest progression of other players. I am not saying that some have more rights to play in that area than others. My discussion is looking for a solution to the conflicts not make excuses for any parties behavior or attitude and certainly not looking to determine who has a right to be where.
Let us discuss what can be done to allow lower level players to do that quest without competing with players who are high enough level to one-hit the boss or mobs.
There is no challenge for a CP 2K+ player in a delve of public dungeon. They are there farming for a lead, finishing a daily, completing an endeavor. If you are proposing to removing these reasons, people will simply not return to those places. Why would they?
Actually, this whole thread is about making them more challenging. How ZoS is going to implement that I have no idea. I just hope that it will be optional.
They basically already confirmed that it will be optional. They don't make absolute statements prior to launching things. But that they gave that confirmation that it's what they're "looking into" means it is very low chances of it being anything but that.
I don't think vet options would prevent people from farming drops on a normal mode though. The drops are meant to be farmed and they are high value. They are their to entice people to farm and they work.
Re: Punishable Actions by Game Moderation
Yesterday for example i was really annoying one certain player by just deliberately getting close to them, light attacking and directly leading to our castle while they were chasing me (they would kill me on 1v1 for sure), and i got them killed like 4 times doing that. At some point they were so frustrated, they kept coming back. And at some point we were alone and they killed me, and instantly started tbagging out of frustration, which i totally get.
But the thing is, i have Steam background video recording going on all the time. And since we are annoying each other i am in ignored list of this player and i know that. When i think of it, i could/can in the future easily set them up like this, and land them a warning. Because all i had to do was just to whisper them to stop. Since i know the whisper will not go through, they will 100% get a warning/ban.
When i think of it, it is really crazy. Because sometimes i am getting set up similarly in Cyrodiil. And the possibilities of what everything can happen there...

Re: What caused you to keep playing the game when you first started?
I started playing back in 2014, and it has been the combat that keeps me going. I love the more dynamic combat system, higher APM, and fewer cooldowns to wait for.
It has it's ups and downs, but never enough to push me away from the game. Any questionable patches tend to just lead me to appreciate more aspects of the game that I hadn't given time to before, like the attention to detail, the beautiful scenes as you ride around, the great stories as you play through the game.

Re: What caused you to keep playing the game when you first started?
I actually quit shortly after the game launched, and I only returned for the One Tamriel update.
Re: What caused you to keep playing the game when you first started?
A good story, it was Elder Scrolls and the fast paced combat system with a limited number of keys to work with unlike some other MMOs that have a whole bunch of abilities to keybind that are often situational.
Re: What caused you to keep playing the game when you first started?
I started ESO in 2016 for the werewolf gameplay. Coming from Skyrim, it was better in some ways (such as the werewolf's maw getting all bloody when feeding) but worse in other ways (such as the werewolf itself feeling less impactful, looking visually worse, and being harder to sustain). I eventually went back to Skyrim for a while, until the Wolfhunter DLC was announced.
When the Wolfhunter DLC released, I saw some of the rewards in it (such as the Beast personality and the Sable Man-Beast skin) and knew I had to learn the game's combat in order to acquire those rewards. I haven't left the game for long since.
Being given a goal really helps me stay motivated to play this game. Sometimes it's to acquire new item sets for a PvP build that would benefit Werewolf in a unique way. Other times, I try to see how high I can parse with Werewolf for PvE content. But above all, the major feature every year usually offers something significant for this playstyle, so I'm always looking forward to the next major content release.

I am just wondering what are the actions you can ask other players to "stop" ? We know for sure tbagging on top of a dead body is one of them.MISTFORMBZZZ wrote: »I only ever had disciplinary actions against me in the forums & can recommend to no public discuss their actions since thats against the ToS
I am not discussing their actions, i got same warning before, as well. I am just asking what got people a warning before, especially about doing emotes, not discussing about them. The section you posted is also about the forums, i am asking for in-game.
I've heard of players being banned for aoe farming on the spawn points inside a keep but idk if its a real thing.
Basically doing some negative action against another player you can be banned if it can be deemed harassment so its best to just avoid this.
Re: Punishable Actions by Game Moderation
If you’re doing something that another player asks you to stop, or they try to ask you anyways, and you keep doing it, that is considered harassment. Being in sneak to camp a body to prevent them from being rezzed, doing nothing else, is just a PVP tactic. All alliances do it, and though it is annoying to the dead, you’re only preventing an in-game tactic with another in-game tactic.
Re: ESO+ is disabled earlier than 10AM EST
The world needs a patch that will stop time from moving forward and backward.
