No idea who came up with the weird idea to put something like this into the world.
At least it doesn’t have any unnecessary bling.
Oh don't worry, they will add a shiny one in crown crates.
Flying... Shiny... Mammoth! - simply majestic. XD
Be careful what you ask for. It's probably going to be a bright celestial themed mammoth with pink nebula styled butterfly wings and golden lightning striking around it every second. And it will wear colour changing earrings.
I think the mammoth is cute, but I'm not looking forward to them blocking the view in crowded area's.
Especially not if in the future we will get (radiant) apex mammoths like the horror I described.
Re: Is Solstice worth buying?

However, just looking at the amount of content afforded by the Season pass... no, it's not worth it at all.
Look at what we got in 2023:
Necrom, $40:Versus now:
- Two zones (one large, one small), sharing 6 WBs, 6 Delves, and 2 PubDuns
- A New Class
- Two Companions
- A new World Event (Bastion Nymics)
- One new Tales of Tribute deck
- A new Trial
Solstice, $50:
- One zone, presumably with 6 WBs, 6 Delves, and 2 PubDuns (so far, only 3 WBs have been released with one more in the U47 patch, 3 Delves, and 1 PubDun)
- No new feature (Subclassing is basegame so not included in the value of Solstice)
- No Companions
- A new World Event (releasing with U47)
- No new Tales of Tribute deck
- A new Trial
- 4 DLC Dungeons (also playable via ESO+)
Mathematically, Solstice is offerring way less than Necrom did, and the Dungeons aren't making up for that. Solstice is only a good deal for people who: i) want to own the dungeons permanently regardless of ESO+ status, and ii) only get Chapters for the zones and do not care about Chapter features.
If you're only interested in the story and don't care about needing to rush it to take part in the Wall event, this really looks like a "wait until it's on sale" thing. Especially if you are currently on ESO+ and don't want to essentially pay to permanently unlock the dungeons you're already paying for.
I'm going to counter this misinformation right here. You are comparing a chapter, Necrom, which is priced at $40-$50 with the Content Pass, which is about the same price, but only comparing the Q2 release, when in reality, the chapter Necrom only included that one update you are paying for.
The content pass includes not only one update, but 2 dungeon DLCs, AND the q4 DLC which is the whole year's worth of content for the same price as a single piece of content. You are getting so much more for the Content Pass vs a single chapter.
This is completely separate from ESO plus, because you own the content, and can access it eith or without a subscription. So that argument bevomes invalid.
To put it blunty, the Content Pass is well worth the price, but in the end, buying it or not is a personal choice and the worth is 100% up to the person considering buying the content.
Where is the misinformation? I directly said that the dungeons are included in the Season Pass purchase for 2025 in opposition to Necrom, and the upcoming "Q4 DLC" is just the other half of Solstice, which is implied to make the small Western Solstice zone into a Chapter-sized zone with the standard number of delves, WBs, and Public Dungeons.
The major difference is that dungeons are accessible with ESO+, regardless of buying the pass or not. This means that for players who do not intend to own them permanently (which is relatively common - many people specifically try to avoid having DLC dungeons in their random queue, and there are also loads of players who do not intend to stop paying for ESO+ until they stop playing the game, at which point owning the DLC outright is not a concern since they will never be playing without ESO+), that this is not a benefit at all.
For people in that camp, adding the dungeons does nothing to increase the perceived value of Solstice, since they will never use those dungeons as a permanent unlock. There is no way to purchase Solstice without being forced to buy the dungeons along with it, so if you don't want them, you're forced to pay extra money for something you don't want. This means the price is higher than Necrom and they are getting no direct benefit from that price increase, and this is doubly important for players who care more for other features like Companions, Tales of Tribute, or exclusive new features like Classes since the purchase of Solstice does not include any of those.
Solstice is a good deal for players who:
- Play ESO for the story only and do not care about the side activities or features
- Do not have an ESO+ subscription, but still want to play dungeons
- Prefer to own all DLC outright regardless of their ESO+ status
If, however, you are not one of those categories of player, then Solstice is clearly a worse deal than Necrom was.

Re: Nightblade balance - Move "Grim Focus" to Shadow; Move "Blur" to Assassination
no thanks.
Blur fits Shadow as it's shadow magic.
Grim Focus fits Assassination as it uses spectral weapons which that skill is.
plus Shadow is not a damage skill line so putting one of the best damage skills in there instead is a bad idea.
Its passives are for defense and sustain.
edited to add:
with Subclassing i made a themed build that uses Assassination and Aedric Spear for its magic weapons. i love Grim Focus and the build would feel weird without it.

Crown Store prices being too high or low than intended or character data being copied from the PTS to Live are "mistakes", and those were swiftly repaired as ZOS owned up to those mistakes with compensation.
Some more clarification from ZOS on what exactly constitutes a "mistake" would be appreciated for future clarity. Otherwise we could say any unfavorable change was a mistake and we'd be complaining to ZOS for months to remedy something that they don't consider to be a mistake.
Any decision, even if well meaning, can be seen as a mistake given time if the decision has negative consequences. That's the thing, we see performance worsen and populations decline as a result of many of the decisions made. In retrospect those decisions can now be seen as mistakes. I just wish those mistakes were acknowledged and made right, that's all I'm asking for.
Can you give a list of mistakes here for ZOS to review?
I would not be able to fit that here on the forums.
I will say though, I've written detailed posts outlining what I think were poor decisions when they happened. I've been vocal about the "play as you want" model, subclassing, balance, accessibility, the state of PvP, the list goes on and on. You can probably search for my posts within the past 3 or 4 years if you care.
Of course I'm just one person, but I've seen mass sentiment around certain decisions that have been made and the concerns were never acknowledged. Anyway, I only point this out as someone who wants the game to improve since no other game like it is on the near horizon.
I agree with that last paragraph especially. Me and others have voiced concerns regarding certain decisions that never received acknowledgement from ZOS. And I agree, there really isn't another game like ESO out there — that's why I'm still here, pleading that ZOS would remedy longstanding issues and reconsider certain decisions they've made.
The important thing to note is that each player, like you or me, may have different visions for what ESO should be. What I consider to be an issue may be completely justified in your eyes, and vice versa. Maybe what we see as issues are justified in the eyes of ZOS.
There's another perspective to this as well, which is the overall PR incentive not to encourage or engage with vociferous criticism when the scope of the topic is too large. I recently posted a thread that got a LOT of engagement criticizing hard group checks in group content.
I might be tempted to cite Jo's signaling here and jog the studio's elbow for a response, but what can they even say? That topic is about the foundational design choices that the creatives make-- it's not a balance oversight or technical issue. The studio can respond to smaller scope stuff like that without suggesting to the OP that their voice in and of itself prompted action.
If they responded to my thread at all it would signal that they're considering a shift in design direction. That would go straight to my head; I'm already insufferably verbose, they don't need to give the mods even more volume to read through. Mostly, though, it would set an unhealthy precedent that criticism is owed a response, which would only attract users with a very flawed perspective on 'critical' versus 'I don't like this, I want it to be something else.'
On the other hand, responding and declaring right off the bat that my feedback and the discourse on the thread was taken, but is NOT being considered or forwarded, is equally bad in the other extreme. That's a LOT of discourse, and signaling to the community in concrete terms that it's been ignored is wildly disheartening. Or, even worse, if they got defensive and tried to argue against the criticism-- that's just overt conflict with the community. Very bad vibes.
It's easy to interpret radio silence as being ignored, but when any response to a topic is a lose / lose for the studio, you just have to trust that the note went into the box. Hope that enough engagement and bumps get in front of devs' and creatives' eyes.

Re: Vampire Rework Idea 09/29/2024 (Ver. 2.0)
Gotta say I'm guilty of glazing over the wall of text, but if you're looking for more active gameplay over passives, why not take an arcanists approach and have vampiric abilities generate blood charges that empower certain abilities/play with passives instead?
Would allow some skills to become more competitive in mortal and Scion form so long as you invest in using vampiric skills.
I'd say let Blood Frenzy provide Brutality/Sorcery even slotted while not a Perfect Scion. As it provides a non-subclassing method of acquiring Brutality/Sorcery should your class not have access to it. (at the cost of slightly higher non-vampiric skills/more fire damage).
