Night Market 2.0 and 3.0

Nemesis7884 · May 3

What could Zos add or change for the second and 3rd time the night market will show up to mix things up a bit so they don't become stale?

Honestly while I am enjoying the night market I am not really seeing myself going through the same 10'000 favor grind 2 more times within a couple months tbh... so one Idea i had that maybe once you reach 10'000 favor with one faction ones, you get a permanent +25% bonus to all favor gained, and when you reach 20'000 favor in total, you get a permament bonus of 50% which could reduce the grind in the future and give some additional incentives?

Better rewards from bosses.

Or perhaps they could reduce subsequent faction favor requirements to 5000 once you'd attained 10000 in one faction. I honestly don't see myself wanting to do the content all over again. I'd be happy to do a few bosses or skirmishes here and there, but even the first grind to 10000 is too much. I'm slightly over 3000 right now and already feeling a bit burnt out.

Introducing more and/or different activities to earn favor would also be nice (though that could already be the plan, I don't know). I don't relish the thought of having to repeat everything we've been doing all over again.

Make it so quest markers can be seen from farther than 2cm away.

Let me talk to more of the NPCs in the Starlit Plaza!

quest marker fixes
better rewards (the motifs are good but the set drops are hot garbage for the difficulty)
allow you to stockpile the keys from the argent/dungeon bosses (way too much grind to repeatedly do those to get back to the trial)
make skill scrolls sellable (i personally would never bother using them lol)
make the balls of favor that can appear after a mob stay active for longer (they disappear way too quickly)
balance issues (some bosses are significantly more difficult than others for no apparent reason, an example is roska and wailing bedina for example, roska is like 10x easier than bedina is even though they are both calamitous bosses)

at least those things, off the top of my head at 330 am est lol

Tbh I think this should be fixed as soon as possible.

The gear that you get from the vendor should change every week.

LunaFlora · May 3

i have multiple ideas

1. Challenge Difficulty for Night Market that has lower difficulties which buff you.
2. increased locations and respawn for Bestial Transformation. And more kinds of transformations.
3. DLC trial and dungeon sets as rewards.
4. full armor style for each faction, to go with the monster sets.
5. more furnishings.

The 10k favor grind would be my main suggestion. Doing it the first time while you are gaining Achievements and learning the Dungeons/Trial is not that bad but imagine doing it the 2nd or 3rd time. Add to that the whole key requirements for the Dungeons/Trial and it really starts to become unbearable doing it 2 more times if you want to get all the stuff from the 3 factions.

There is a reason why ZOS sells (and I assume that people buy) skips for Skyshards/Skill Lines/etc.

Treeshka · May 3

They can add rotating vendor that sells everything literally. Random furnishing plans, random leads and such.
Longer buff times so we can use them in the dungeons and in the raid more reliably.

Rewards. Like what did I even get for completing the Trial? No idea, just a bunch of worthless trash my inventory. I like the challenge and the fundamental idea of the zone, but it needs—and hopefully will receive—numerous tweaks before its 2.0 iteration. I doubt I will do it again, as there’s no reason to. A challenging trial should offer perfected gear of some sort, that’s literally the progression system that’s existed for almost a decade now. Perfected monster sets (with one line of extra stats)? Maybe a unique set? Maybe an upgrade system for something like the “upgradeable” mythic coming soonish. Idk. ESO has always struggled with rewards and the NM is only drawing a spotlight on that issue.

Get rid of the faction leaderboard and just let us gain favor for all 3 factions to earn the 10000 favor in a decent timeframe. I like this event and the easy Group Finder to get into groups. For example, joined a group and got the easy quests done, the group disbanded or I left and joined another group to grind in a different precinct. Good times.

This! A million, billion, quadrillion times this!

AScarlato · May 8

Bear in mind I'm mostly a story/RP person so I'll leave other suggestions to people better equipped.

I suggested in another thread adding a "member's only" room for 10K+ faction members, like Tachien's party that is teased by the bouncer but we can't enter. Inside we should be able to get a member's only costume and the rest of the armor pieces as motifs.

They could provide a better storyline and higher stakes.

Expand rewards for the Night's Den. Let us unlock guild trading from our house vault.

Al_Ex_Andre · 8:56AM

I was asking myself this very thing too two day ago, the replayability....

The farm is going to come back, no question. As awful as it may sound, I am at 10 000 favors since a couple of hours, so I think it's doable.

For what? Awesome rewards yes. But I dunno, I begin to like these 3 new factions. So maybie you get to complete a storyline about these in the end of the grind, it's for the roleplay, I prefer that.

Cheers.

When favor is earned, automatically claim it.

Quest markers are fine as is if the target areas are small, but when the target area is huge and there are mobs and bosses in the places where the quest items can be, the quest markers should be visible from further away.

I hope to see different puzzles. The same fun and doable solo as the current ones.
Having them the same three times in a row would be boring.

Different mechanics/achievements for the trial and dungeons might be good. But I know I ask too much.
Also that could be unfair for players who missed the first NM season.

Ideally it would be vet mod for the dungeons and trial, as the current one is normal.
That would logically add new achievements (interesting for those who obtained all the previous), while first-timers would have their previous ones available as well.

The event should also not run for so long as to not have it become stale or too empty for late-comers to form groups.

A month or even two is too much. I would say 2 weeks is appropriate to keep it exciting and full. Of course not when 10k Standing is the goal and is so slow to attain.

olsborg · 7:19PM

Trial gear that rotated like the golden vendor, every 5-7 days it would pick a different trial to pull gear from on the vendor.

I'm also curious what a good duration would be so that the event doesn't die down.

I'm at 10K favor now and all the dungeons/trial done more than once. But I have been playing far more than usual to get that done so quickly. Maybe a month is good but curious how others feel.

A month is minimum. In my guild many people play like 6 hours per week and these players should also be able to see the trial

I've been playing hours every day and still have a couple of achievements I'd like to finish (still haven't decided if I can be bothered to run the dungeons and trial a second time too). Most people can't play as much as me, so I'd say 2 weeks definitely isn’t enough. Maybe a month? Tbh we don't really know what it'll be like towards the end, so I'm guessing how it goes this time will determine how long it lasts next time.

I don't think the rewards would have to be a massive amount better to encourage people to keep running it tho. Still definitely need to be better, but I think they're close. If it was just random curated gear from any dungeon and maybe trial that would do it for me!
