Here is a better idea: Tie the look of your transformation to your character skins.

If you wear the Soul Shriven Skin you will have a Soul Shriven Werewolf, if you wear the Void Pathosis skin your Werewolf will have Void Pathosis, apply it to Blood Scion's as well.

If you're on PC, you might try the Character Knowledge add-on. Mousing over a motif chapter will tell you which of you characters have or have not learned it. The tooltip is screen space limited for many motifs (no idea why - could just be something I've overlooked in settings), so it works more consistently if you're only tracking for two or three characters rather than a dozen.

There's a similar addon for consoles "702's Craft Completionist List" (based on the Character Knowledge addon since it also installs a not fully functional version of that addon to act as a library).

For the kill with scribed skills normally you don't need to get the KB just tag things with a scribed skill.

Generally i'll use 'pull' on wield soul then just beam down the stack on arc - 40 enemies takes about 5m in any grind spot.

Subclassing feels mandatory now to keep up competitively in PVE and PVP. I miss my old Templar class abilities which I felt accustomed and flowed well together across their three skill lines.

I feel displeased and disappointed in how this has impacted my play experience in the game as it is a marked departure from the well-defined class themes we had before and feels recklessly added to the game.

It shouldn’t feel like a requirement, having stepped back into game play again today and got blitzed by a few variations of subclasses builds in PvP. Players are refining subclassed builds so I’m getting left further behind for wanting to play the way I want to which is running pure class build.

I’m giving it another 2/3 months and hopefully there will be some. Buffs for pure class builds if not I’m gonna delete the game, it’s just not fun for me anymore

In my case it killed my main.


And my only alt.

Edited for spelling and a deletion of my real feelings about subclassing.

You can punch your way through overland content no CP, no items. The only thing you wont kill is world boss.

This is me 10 minutes ago:

I don't know how you can loose any of these encouters. Also I've noticed that on new maps there are barely any human foes. Those ususally use skills etc. This is also a factor why open world content is so easy. Maps are generally empty. I went to Blackwood record and only found Bears and Wolves, and in West Weald I had to run to the very eadge of the map to find human foes. But still, I punched my way through. Gonna start the series, fr, fr.

ZOS should make the following changes to drop curation:

1) If you have all the items from a boss it should roll on the table of drops from the last boss curated. This would mean that once you have collected all 'body pieces' from all the sets in the dungeon any boss has the chance of dropping you a weapon / jewellery instead of its normal duplicate body piece drop. Having to farm just the last boss of a 40m dungeon 54 times because you need a specific weapon is just frustrating

OR

At least make drops from Chests curated so that you can farm slightly faster.


2) For arena's Sword and Board should only drop in a single onehand weapon type. Having to get Axe+Shield, Hammer+Shield, Sword + Shield, Dagger+Shield before the other drops is just trolling.

I don't understand why some people want to get everything in an instant .

Again, misrepresentation of the other parties opinions. No-one said they wanted everything in an instant.

If you can't leave someone's post that they've spend over 4 hours doing dailies, and they thought that was a bit much, for what it is and move on, at least please respond to the statements we actually made. "I want everything right now" is not one of them.

ICertainly, those dailies are *Time-consuming Daily Endeavours* IF(!) you are a new player and or have not done the stuff you need to get them done in 15-30min tops.

But what you all seem to forget. Those quests/enceavours aren't for the *NEW* players or the *NEW ACCOUNT* people. They are for the *have been playing for some time* folks. .

Says who? Why are endeavors not for new players, or players on new accounts? That's not 'something we all seem to forget', that's something you made up. If anything, I have less need of seals on my older EU account, since I already collected most of the mounts, costumes, and so on I want over there.

Endeavours are forcused on two things - 1) give players a way to earn a currency to get some stuff just by playing the game and 2) give players, who are already leveled, a reason to log into the game and do some stuff, when they reached the end-game (leveled their chars, got SPs and CPs, got motifs & receipts, etc.).

And btw.. If the endeavours are too time consuming to do, especially for 15 endeavours (!!!), I wouldn't do them. Just skip, ignore them. Its less than 100 endeavour marks you loose.

Oh wow, skipping endeavors! What a delightfully novel suggestion! It's not as if I already answered this extensively in post 3 of this page.

Sorry for getting sarcastic, I don’t mean to harp on you specifically, but as you can see, by this point, you’re far from the first to come up with this idea. This tip gets posted dozens of times in every thread where someone dares to express anything other than ecstatic endorsement of the endeavors.

Yes, they’re optional. We know. The whole game, not to mention our whole life, is optional. Doesn’t mean I can’t point out some of the aspects I’m a little less satisfied with while enjoying them as a whole.

Besides, there is a difference between "too time consuming to do" and "more time consuming than I'd like/ had planned for". For me, yesterdays endeavors were an example of the latter, not the first.

I came from the single player TES games and have a focus on roleplaying, stories, lore and exploration.

The main reason I started playing ESO (in February 2016, about 9 months or so before One Tamriel) was that I wanted to see other parts of the fictional world and wanted to experience new stories with a TES lore background. I had played all TES games before that and it wasn't clear when TES6 would be released (and it's somehow unbelievable that it's still unclear now, 9 years later), so ESO looked interesting to look into.

I was really sceptical at first, because I never had any interest in MMOs, but I still decided to try it. And what made me stay was that while it's an MMO, I could still play it more or less like the singleplayer TES games and just experience stories and lore. The writing was good back then, I really enjoyed the base game zones and later Wrothgar, Morrowind, CWC and Summerset. Honestly, what I didn't enjoy much were basically the MMO aspects - like random people jumping around town (which isn't exactly immersive), town npcs just respawning after death, and also the combat. But the stories were interesting and the zones beautiful, so I could just live with that.

Now, with that focus, the factors that influence my interest most are of course the writing quality and the zone or world design. And I understand that people who play for other motivations care for entirely different factors.

When it comes to writing, one thing I often wonder about is why we don't see a return to what we got in the early years. I see polls on this forum (and other ESO-related places) all the time, asking people which chapters or dlcs they enjoyed most. And while everyone has a different taste, of course, it's usually a huge portion of the voters that vote for Morrowind or Summerset. There seems to be a certain consensus among most players that the early years were ESO's golden days in terms of storytelling.

Not sure if a return to that type of writing could renew people's interest (I know many who have lost interest for the stories because they have been disliking the writing style for years now, and many left ESO altogether - and once people leave, it's hard to convince them to return, I think, especially if they've already shifted their interest to something else in the meantime), but in any way, from my point of view, that would be a step in the right direction.

I mostly stayed away from this thread during the years it's been active. I posted only a handful of times to advocate for the harder difficulty being optional or disagree with rewards (leads and such) being removed from public places.

However, all this talk about playing on a new toon with no CP made me finally create one. I have not planned to create any more toons until new class/race is added, but I decided to get my own experience.

I created a new Breton sorc (if I keep this toon beyond testing purposes, it will be a zoo sorc). I did not assign any red/blue CP, only the green ones (because I'm not going to miss on potential mats/furnishing plans just because I'm starting a new toon), did not transfer the customary 100K from my main for starter expenses. I normally do not craft any gear for any new toon until they are about lvl 45, so that did not change. I also decided not to grab a companion right away even though they were created for the purpose of helping to clear mobs.

Went through the tutorial, landed on Stros M'kai, quickly collected 3 skyshards there and went to Glenumbra Harborage to do some more of the Main questline. Once I hit lvl 5, got certifications for crafting, joined the Mages/Fighter's guild for Persuade/Intimidate. At level 7 or 8 went to Glenumbra public dungeon (since it was mentioned recently in this thread). No one was there. I ate the roasted pig food that I created during the certification process then cleared the group event for the skill point, killed all the bosses, did both quests. It took more than the usual 5 min on a new toon with CP and was a bit sluggish, but I was there may be for 10 min. Rescued Lyris from Coldharbor, went to Cyrodiil at lvl 10 to do the tutorial to get Assault rank 3 for mount speed boost.

I stopped yesterday at lvl 11. Will do some guild dailies today.

Bottom line:
I'm not an end game player by any means (I do not do any content harder than some older normal trials with PUGs), but I can see how those player find questing not engaging. So, optional difficulty increase in overland is needed for them.

Personally, I will wait and see what shape and form it will take. Probably will try it when it's released, but I will definitely keep my farming in the normal overland.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the most challenging thing that I encountered - remembering all the settings that I need to change so the controls/game experience are the same as on the older toons. Do we still not have an option to transfer those?
