Re: How Do I Make Money?
Here are two videos that may help you out to generate more gold.
Arttea does a great job in her explainer video. It's a little old now, but most of the points should still apply:

Kalam0n also has a newer video on generating gold if you only have a certain amount of time to play.

These should help in addition to everyone's comments in this thread.

Re: Survey question - specifically Plentiful Harvest and Alchemy surveys
I've been following this thread with a certain amount of curiosity but it only struck me earlier that one of my survey gatherers might actually not know all the traits of all of the plants/mushrooms, so I checked.
She only knows four traits on four plants/mushrooms, three traits, two traits. one trait on some and no traits at all on eleven. She has 8/8 and all other passives except for snakeblood fully unlocked.
So I did a few surveys with her just out of interest, the first one I got only 4 from 5 nodes but the 6th node gave me 12. After that every survey gave me at least one or two 6 and 12's, one gave me only 6 and 12's.
My sample size was tiny in comparison to you guys but I can definitely say you do not need all traits unlocked to get 6 and 12's to drop.
I had never actually checked her knowledge before which tells me that I have always received 6 and 12's when gathering with her because I would certainly have stopped using her or maxed her knowledge if I had not!

Re: [bug?] all the toons using same voice when making glyphs
I don't think it's meant to be the player character's voice at all? I'd always assumed it was some magical utterance from the enchanting table itself because it's, well, enchanted.

You might not want to call out people for speaking for others and then also try and speak for others about why they stopped playing.
For example A lot of players stopped playing because group sizes were nerfed from 24 to 12 leading to multiple pug guilds and some more comp focused groups quitting.
A lot of others left because the performance got to the stage where the combat didn't work the majority of the time (even if the combat was fun when it worked).
And a lot left because it got harder to play as a casual group and way easier to play as a hardcore group - players that didn't want to put in the effort were more heavily punished for this and chose to quit instead of being farmed. (in the past it was easier to 'outnumber' your opponent and kill them whilst playing more casually, mainly because of the group size and also combat mechanics related).
Now I would agree that combat is in a poor state and has been for a long time.
The synergy meta was actually more enjoyable because it had more counterplay and longer dmg cooldowns but it did also get stale after being in the game for so long.
This is absolutely the reason GH has fell off imo. Not only did solo and pugging become impossible but even hanging on the hardcore level required a different class with all new gear and new bar layouts every 3 months.
For what again, 5 purple rings?
Re: [Suggestion]Access to our own storage boxes through the boxes in friends/guilds/storage houses
...If it worked, I'd love it. I often go to the housing area with a friend; we build a lot together, and it would make things a lot easier.
However, it won't work because there's already a bug. When we're in a group in a house we both own, the chests often disappear, either for him or for me.
We then have to disband the group or travel somewhere else to make the chests visible again.
The bug has existed for years, so I don't think there can be secure access to one's own chests in other houses....
This is due to a bug in the storage furniture placement.
The furniture is there, just far outside the building. You can see this by pressing F5 to access the housing menu, then going to the Retrieve tab and looking at the direction and distance of the furniture.
This happens to me sometimes, too, even without a group in my own house.
It has nothing to do with the underlying inventory database where the items are stored.
What you can see, however, is that the storage boxes are displayed separately for each player. This is why, in the same house, they are placed in the correct location for one player and in a different location for another player.
Re: Crafting Surveys should be able to be done in one go!
At a minimum, there should be immediate respawn if you have multiple surveys. Trying to guess how far you have to go to get the respawn is annoying.
Though I do find the current system with jewelry in Reapers March can be fun. I've been there with 4 or 5 other people picking up survey and watching everyone make the same loop over and over was amusing.
Thats true! And some surveys have different distances to force the respawn, so its a weird guessing game sometimes. The distances arent entirely consistent.
Yeah, and the more recent zones have terrible spacing for some of them.
the way ive found round this is to
1) go to the pickup zone
2) pick up the mats
3) fast travel to a preview house in the same zone (free)
4) immediately exit and it puts you back at the pickup zone - where magically the mats have respawned.
rinse and repeat

Re: Herald of the Tome - Remove Fatecarver
"Upset the player base beyond repair" .. look, you could as well not be using such bad faith arguments.
Are people going to be a bit miffed? Sure, yes.
Are those people playing for the beam? No, they were playing before, and they'll play after.
Also, no one is suggesting lowering it's damage, right? It's the cleave, that is the issue. Just lower the damage on subsequent target and let it hit full force single target, already.
I really don't get how people can defend the beam as it is now, despite knowing full well it's overtuned. Please, guys, be honnest with yourselves .. at this point, it's nothing but a tantrum ..

Re: What caused you to keep playing the game when you first started?
I started playing with One Tamriel and certainly combat wasn't a reason to keep playing back then - I hated it.
I had played Oblivion in 2006 and Skyrim in 2011 and loved them but I abandoned them because I was an avid player and used to jump between many games.
ESO, I was treating it like those games and I was playing it on and off, I'd say from 2017 to 2022, with long pauses.
2022 was the year I locked in and started playing every single day up until now and looking forward - Oakensoul ring.
In 2022 I developed nerves issues and I wasn't even able to use a normal controller anymore (Xbox EU). Thanks to Oakensoul and dedicated controllers I've been able to enjoy combat and achieve great things.
Today, subclassing and scribing have added to my enjoyment of the combat.
Why I still play and plan on playing now? Two reasons:
1) This is the only game I have the ability to play efficiently while having fun, due to my condition.
2) I have invested so much in time, money and effort that every time I start another game and I see I am "poor, weak and ugly" I just prefer to close it and come back where I am in "god mode" XD
But this game offers many reasons to love it, and exploration was a strong one for sure in the beginning.
Sadly, I think the internet era ruined a lot the novelty and mistery factors. I recently talked with someone who was playing Oblivion Remaster and I said I remember curing from vampirism was so difficult in 2006, but the person replied "Oh no no, it's super easy, I followed the guide online"... Yeah, experiencing games is not the same thing these days.

Re: Herald of the Tome - Remove Fatecarver
Well, if you use it for fun, then I don't see why you are against the nerf. It will still be as fun after being nerfed.
You must be new here.
A nerf to this skill would upset the playerbase beyond repair. Its that simple.
Yes. For the majority of the player base that use this for accessibility, it's not for looks or play style. It's because the high damage and ease of use allows them to do things in game they never could. My wife plays an easy 1 bar arc. She's always just been a quester, housing, putter around and have fun. She has carpel tunnel. We booked her up with a banner, flail beam. Now she can solo WB fights and other stuff she couldn't do before. This is the reality for a large portion of the player base and to take it away would anger many. I'll be fine. I'll just swap to whatever I need to and be able to hit the number my raid lead wants. I'm not scorepusher. Just vet and hm stuff. I get it. People find it boring or are upset because it's rewards are easy to get. I think that was the point though.
As I said above, Zos has had multiple good opportunities to tone it and has only done very small things. Increase cost, banner changed. We can yell into the echo chamber with our math but they have the metrics. If they haven't changed it, you gotta ask yourself why. Likely because thousands of casual players use it and love it. Anecdotal, I'm in a casual social guild as well as a raid guild. We run trials 2 or 3 times a week on vet for them to learn mechs. Our trials always fill with folks who never thought they'd be able to do trials or vet dlc dungeons. We've turned them into raiders and it's thanks in part to herald of the tome. Also subclassing but I won't open that worm can.
