Re: EP Sabotaged!
Lols, in PCEU it yellows against purples.
EP and DC always gang up on AD and then say AD can't pvp.
Well when 2 alliances are going against 1 I am not surprised.

Wanted to follow up here. The goal is always to provided a balance of more grounded yet cool items and more fun/ fantastical items as well.
We have taken note and shared feedback when some items may push that balance a bit far, like our 4-sword horse friend. (I find this mount fun, but totally understand it can be super jarring.)
However, the item selections are meant to give you the player tools to be creative and have fun. Sometimes player choice will lead to a dancing Molag Bal, as jarring as that can be. But between the Crown Store items, in-game items and in-game event items, there are plenty of choices to make a more grounded experience for yourself and for others if they so choose. Some may go down the route of Sheogorath for a more maddening experience, but they should have the option to do so as well.
All that being said, happy to take any additional feedback to the team for their consideration. Is there a style or kind of cosmetic we have made in the past that you would like us to lean more into?
Thanks for any feedback give here. And please be mindful when submitting feedback that you remember community guidelines.
Kevin,
I agree with many here who posted that the mount-up animations for many of these flashy mounts is the greater part of the problem. The Voidmother Welwa and I think it is the Accursed Recall (the one that looks like a big pink bubble gum bubble) and the Legionnaire’s Recall can completely blind other players. There should never be a time when another player’s action makes it impossible for me to see. Also, one of the new Mount-up animations makes my PS5 controller vibrate. I can’t remember which one it is, one of the newer ones. Controller vibration should be only for something relevant to my own character.
Personally. I think the anchor recall is great, but that’s my opinion. The volume of the recall has been turned down and it does not bother me. I stop to watch it whenever someone uses it. I wish I could have it but crown crates and gambling aren’t for me.
Another thing lately is a pet with lightning type flashy light animation. I can’t believe no one has complained about this already. That nearly causes seizures for me and I am not susceptible to that sort of thing. I don’t know its name but It looks like a small cat with wings. The frequency of the flashing is quick and erratic, very disturbing.
Some players ask for things like a switch to turn off these things not because it is against their personal preference for seeing things in the game, but because it actually interferes with their ability to play the game. Don’t we all deserve to be able to play without discomfort?
the vibration you mentioned is likely from the Glass Atronach dwarven spider mount from Mirrormoor crates, the Mirrormoor skin has the same vibration.
i have also criticised the lightning effects numerous times and i believe the pet you are referring to is the Kynareth's Fledgeling Gryphon, the Kynareth's Quasigriff mount has the same effects both from Carnaval Crates.
i made a list for items with strobing/flashing effects in the pain point thread but now i think i may be useful to create a separate post for it

Re: Normal for Gray Host now?
People may be taking a short break from the mayhem event. Any time I go to play on eastern time, weekend prime time (6pm - 11pm) there's always a queue.

Whilst in a keep that was under attack, the amount of EPs just standing around doing nothing was ridiculous. It was then I was told that other alliances, if they are not actively taking part in the game, would login to Gray Host with their EP characters and fill the keeps with useless AFKers just to fill up the cap for EP, Some even have second accounts just for this purpose. Does anyone know if this is true? It certainly looked that way.
Second thing, some person put a forward camp over the well near Aelswell Castle, so if you used it, you were stuck, you could not move and if under attack couldn't even use a recall stone. We couldn't take much damage, so we couldn't die to respawn. The only way to get out would be kill the game. Some DC took pity on us and managed to kill us with a CF ballista. I put a message in zone chat asking not to put forward camps over wells and got a reply XD from someone, so I assume they did it. This cannot be done accidentally.
Are EP so feared that other alliances have to resort to these tactics?
That is the tip of the iceberg. It's for reasons such as these that I have made changes to the way in which I approach PvP.
Ball groups in same Alliance standing around not fighting with you, just letting you die, then refusing to rez but (intentionally?) wiping at Sej 40s later. PvP Guilds basically on a 'rogue' hunt for what they refer to as elitist folks even though they so brazenly and unapologetically display extreme elitist behavior themselves. How so? If the 'wrong' person picks up ham or a scroll, even after 'their' man died once or twice with it, they announce that zone should abandon them and of course everyone does and lets the other faction take them down. Joining a group and having the most hated DC Emp and his friends have a mole in there broadcasting your exact location in Cyrodiil. Add to that grief bombers coordinating from AD/DC.
Then there's other spiteful things like placing a scroll in a keep and they have someone on the inside already ready to steal it back while the capturing faction is celebrating, they finally took their scroll back. Less that 2m later the ball group steals it back. Then there's less offenses but just as bad when you single handedly save a faction from losing a Camp, 1xX consistently but they act really tacky towards you like they never realized you existed. Guild Officers announcing in zone the faction doesn't need solo players and that they should leave; Being asked to leave 'their' server because you made a joke or a point that bothers at least (1) person... the same person who always speaks their mind and never apologizes... like ever.
I could go on but like I said it gets worse.

Re: EP Sabotaged!
Well, unfortunately it is nothing new & stuff like that has been going on for a couple of years now. I have been there & saw that way too many times. I guess that sometimes it might be a coincidence & sometimes an actual planed "sabotage". Stuff like this happens to all alliances & all servers.
Generally - this is what happens when there is no in-game moderation / monitoring. The only monitoring system that ZOS added was some kind of chat-bot AI that can ban people for swearing in 18+ game (at least this is what I have heard).
For the most part, actual player reports of "unfair" or unindented toxic behaviour go into limbo. Classic example would be "elder scroll trolling" - when a player from different alliance will login as other alliance and during scroll recovery operation will snatch the scroll and drop it into water or cave near Cropsford or worse - will pass the scroll to their "fiends" - so the scroll, effort & time spend is wasted.
Something like this makes you feel hopeless & it destroys any kind of combat spirit / alliance loyalty as you realise that nothing matters. Even if people will report players who do stuff like this - again - those reports go into limbo. The message we are getting here is that basically - since reports go into limbo - that Cyro is PvP sandbox and there are no rules (as every exploit even major one is ignored). Basically - players are rewarded for being toxic. If at the very least there were some know cases of players getting banned for doing various on-purpose exploits like this - then at the very least there would be less of those as players would be afraid of doing this in a 1st place.
Again - this is what happens when there is no in-game moderation and instead you expect every one to be nice to each other.

Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
I take my feedback seriously. Having read several posts here regarding the ease of game play, I want to involve my own opinion. A few days ago I created a new character with the idea of playing with them as if they were new to the game. I did not use my CP to boost them. I did not use my master crafter to dress or supply them. I did not take them out and speed level them with a friend or even engaged a friend to help acquire a companion. The concept was to see how easy (or not) the game was for a new player.
I finished the starter island. I found the level of difficulty to be in line with my expectations. Nothing overland killed me. Some took a few hits to kill but I was alone in the game so I expected that. One dungeon boss came close to killing me but I recovered. It was an enjoyable experience.
When I arrived at the next, larger map, things started to get a little frustrating. I am asocial so I avoid playing in groups. This leaves the Undaunted guild out. I joined the mages guild and the fighters guild. The town is really congested. [suggestion] Perhaps create a situation where pets and guardian style pets are made invisible in crowded areas. This is as far as I got with the new character because I got a little bored with the content having completed it several times with other characters.
I plan to provide feedback and suggestions on overland questing, dungeons, WBs, DA, and other standard content using this character. At this point, I believe the content is not too easy for a character that is not backed with CP and wearing dungeon or master crafted items.

Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
Zos Can you please add maybe like Guild Wars 2 style live events and achievements related like one live event leading to another and a chain across map ?
like NPC group or Caravan going from Point A on map to point B C D E and between each they fortify as they are attack by group of NPC's and then move on the more you participate the better reward with at the end also world boss being quite powerful with npcs helping him so you would need a lot of players and he would loot something good wanting players actually do it ?
or Special world boss pop over after some events on map ....
please make overland monster more powerful as in normal dungeon or slightly lower with more health, more difficult.
also add please companion dungeons with npcs from our factions that they can be healer someone also tank or dps.
for loot farmers for normal dungeons - you could always reduce XP gain and turn it to gold or something else.

Necro spammable (wishful thinking)
Here's my proposition if zos were to delete skull in favor of a good spammable. I tried to make it good for pvp and pve, while following the "debuff class" image necro has :
muscle snap : melee skill btw
Deals 2200 disease damage.
The first cast of this ability inflicts minor maim for 15 secs.
The second cast inflicts minor cowardice for 15 secs.
The third cast deals 50% increased damage. If no corpses are nearby, rip a part of the enemy's flesh to create a corpse and deal 2603 bleed damage over 15 secs. If a corpse is nearby, awaken it after 1.5 secs to rush at the enemy with a scythe (like bb), dealing 2603 magic damage and afflicting the enemy with major cowardice for 5 secs
Cost determined by the highest ressource, 2295

Edit : wait sorry I forgot to mention that it should be instant. As in "doesn't take 10 minutes to hit the target"

Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
Can we have more random overland content? Like for example you added an achievement in Solstice to parkour to the top of a ruined tower to open a chest. We got nothing for it other than the achievement. Why aren't there more climbable strutures? Why can't we get a silly title, or a memento?
You could easily expand upon this and make a silly climbing guild that has us climb random parkourable structures across Tamriel. There could be daily quest that grant us special stuff. Titles, mats, mementos, etc. Things like this in the overland could make for more guild events to be hosted.
You have this huge world that has vast open places that could have things added to it. I'm hoping that your new outlook, on how you're revisiting older zones, will be a step in this kind of direction. I'd love to see just more absolutely random and non combat related content.

Re: Checking on Underwater content
Long time absent player just wondering if they added underwater content yet.
Does ESO have underwater swimming, quests, or treasure?
Devs have stated a few times that ESO engine does not support the kind of floating directional freedom that underwater movement requires and it would be a major overhaul of core game code to allow it. I guess never-say-never but I would be shocked if true underwater content is ever added.
The "Graven Deep" DLC dungeon does have underwater content, but it is limited and you basically just walk around on ocean floor in an air bubble. That is probably as close as we will get.
