The Best Faction you might ever choose. Join The Thousand Eyes!

Blood_again · April 27

Okey, while nobody starts, I will.

Player! There is the One Faction that is better for you!

The Thousand Eyes! <======= this one!

Don't ask "why?", just join us the first day of the Night market!

Okay, I knew somebody would ask anyway. It is better; that's why:

1. The monster set raises your damage up to 8% on the sequential targets like a boss with adds, for instance.
Also, it procs from direct damage, which is common today.
It is not bis, but it is way better than other ones.

2. Nice, great, beautiful blue color! (No, it is green!) No, blue! (Green maybe?!) Well, more green than blue... sorry, multiple personalities, too many eyes, you know.
Anyway, this color is awesome! I would kill (some mobs) for it!
If you compare the options, like red or gold - we already have some better gold (translucent!) and red dyes.
But this green (blue!!!) is the best! It also matches with some beautiful skill styles we love, yes!

3. Did you see that cosmic, incredible monster set design? It is marvelous!
Everybody is tired of those daedric horns and argonian masks. Choose new, choose blue (green!!!), choose multi-eyed!

4. Last but not least, maybe, just maybe... we got cookies! (with eyes!!!) No more words about it. That's enough.

So join us!
Join the best!
We are many!
We are The Thousand Eyes!

OsUfi · April 27

I don't care about anything you said.

I'm just here for the Daedrat leading us. 🐀

Valion · April 27

I was planning on keeping an eye out for those things, so...
🪬
We'll see.

I just here for the Maormer that's the mouth of The Thousand Eyes.

Orbital78 · April 27

This is what I am leaning towards, I am happy I can still group with friends no matter what we choose.

Alphawolf01A · April 27

Hard pass. Glittering Goad FTW!

whitecrow · April 27

"Shived"?

coop500 · April 27

Thousand Eyes was already the leading faction by far on the PTS, don't worry. This faction will 100% dominate, sadly.

Katheriah · April 27

Grue or bleen.

ganzaeso · April 27

Shived will get nerfed shortly after everyone has joined. Probably with some sort of cool down or timer. This is expected.

coop500 · April 27

This faction was very much designed to appeal to a certain mass amount of players, the devs defo knew what they were doing with the choices here.

The only meaning that I know is to stab something with an improvised knife (like someone creating a makeshift knife in prison), which is surely the definition the devs had in mind as well given the bleed effect.

And you know it

Erickson9610 · April 27

Nah, The Ruckus will win.

ESO_player123 · April 28

👀👀👀👀👀, and we will see if I will be able to kill anything in that market at all.

JemadarofCaerSalis · April 28

So, that is the faction with the green?

*makes note*

Ordinator199 · April 28

idk tbh, this looks like a good arcanist helmet for st, wonder how it compares to nerineth?

The daedrat is indeed a huge draw, but so too is the gold dye for the other faction...

Does anyone who was on the PTS know what we actually have to do to get the dyes? If it's too hard for a mediocre player I'm happy to give the dyes a miss and just enjoy hanging out with Ratty Boi.

Nemesis7884 · April 28

the glittering goad set seems interesting for heavy attack builds and i like the monster style way more

dyes and set styles overview:

tbh i dont like most monster styles...I think it would be nice to some more that look a bit more like realistic helmets or masks of sorts...

frogthroat · April 28

Was going to anyway. Since gear (monster sets) are locked behind a faction, that overrides everything else.

I am no longer interested in anything a faction does. My choices will follow the sets.

Bleed+damage buff is the first faction I join.
Frost damage+brittle is the second.
And when I have those both, the extra buffs faction will the the third.

I don't know nor care what the faction names are. To me, they are now called: bleed faction, frost faction and buff faction.

If the choice didn't lock me out of gear sets, I might actually pay attention to the lore of those factions. But now the lore is irrelevant.

Daedrat leader is totally valid cause to join! 🐀

Our patron is the most patronizing patron on the Night Market! 👀👀👀👀👀

Shived is a pop culture form of old prison slang for stabbing someone. People pick it up from movies. I can assure you, no one uses that word inside a prison.

twisttop138 · April 28

I keep telling my guild mates, if you're not Thousand eyes, you're dead to me. Not because of the monster set, or the banner or whatever. Pure aesthetics. It feels punk rock, grimey, underground, angry in a way that's not random like this ruckus I keep hearing about. If it wasn't for achievements and other stuff, I'd stay Thousand eyes every time.

Syldras · April 28

I'm probably going to join the Eyes, but honestly, I can't really relate to any of the factions. The "collecting secrets" aspects of the Eyes does appeal to me at least (before knowing anything about the faction is somehow expected it to be Hermaeus-Mora-related and their leader probably being a watcher), but the "strenght by numbers" and "vermin" aesthetic they seem to be going for (looking at the faction room and the rat leader) doesn't appeal to me. But in the end, how does it even matter? It looks like in terms of rewards, there are no big differences, and at the location, there's also no seperation between factions when fighting enemies, either. Also, the Night Market returns 3 times, so I'll probably choose the Eyes this time, those snobs the next time, and perhaps the hobo brutes the third time, just for the sake of completion.

I'm curious how they'll translate it. I don't think most people here have a clue about prison slang (or alleged prison slang). Very low incarceration rates in this country, so most people have no relation to it in real life; and if there's a movie or show about it, it's usually drama about some good psychologist/sports trainer/piano teacher helping some prisoner becoming a better human. I don't think they stab anyone there.

Your language probably has some slang terms for knives and/or stabbing.

A shiv and a shank are makeshift knives, originating from prison slang but can be used by street gangs or other criminals.
Shivving is not that much used, but shanking can be used as a verb.

I am guessing Shived was chosen because that is not as common verb as shanking. And shanking can be done with other things than makeshift knives, such as screwdrivers. Stabbing with a broken bottle would also be shanking and should not be confused with the UK slang term "to glass someone" - that is smashing a glass (or a bottle) in someone's face.

But anyway, no matter how low crime rate any given country has, stabbing each other with pointy objects is one of our oldest hobbies, so I am sure every language has some slang terms for it. You can probably think of one or two.

It's just nothing one usually comes across here (unless one's a member of some criminal groups oneself, I guess). In those almost 40 year of my life I've seen exactly one brawl, and those were teens quarelling about who knows what. And I don't live in a small village, but in a big city (1 million + inhabitants). The biggest problem with crime that the average person here might encounter is their bicycle getting stolen, and pickpocketing in tourist areas downtown.

The only word I can think of would be "abstechen", which is the more aggressive form of "erstechen" (to stab), and that's it.

Edit: Just checked on ESO Hub out of curiosity if it's already listed there, and indeed, it is. And they went for "abstechen".

Though it seems otherwise, most people in America have no idea of jail or prison outside of a movie or a TV show on netflix or something. Though some of our shows are decidedly more violent. I am curious though about the translation, though I assume they'll try to use a slang word from your country for assault maybe. Or just plain stab.

Finedaible · April 28

None of the monster sets seem all that great, but Thousand Eyes is perhaps the more interesting of the options. There's never been a monster set that deals bleed before.

If The Ruckus set didn't have that horrible drawback I might have chosen it for PvP.

Glittering Goad sounded interesting at first until I realized Elemental Susceptibility is still a freely spammable ability with no delays or restrictions.
