How many Heart's Day quests?
How many quests are there for this? It doesn't seem to be like other holiday events where the quests are random, rather these are set in order. I'm only on the second quest, and I've already abandoned it. I have no interest in dealing with Sanguine.
How many quests are there after the malcontents one? And what rewards are there? I'm debating if I should force myself to participate, probably on a different character, for it to get whatever the rewards are in the quests.

Re: Pain Points and Ideas for the Warden Class Refresh (plus Destruction staff)
I don't want crux or corpses or any other extra resource that needs maintaining and spending...
Agreed. I've always hated the mechanic of having to build up some resource that then drains if you don't use it fast enough. It's why I don't like the arcanist class, and why I never play a class with that mechanic in any game. I really hope they don't add anything like it to the warden.

Re: Silly Complaint - A Genuine Hug for our new tiger friend
For this specific event I'd have also given a separate option to accept Mara's Parcel reward without the gold, a "I do this out of the kindness of my heart" kind of love expression given it should be an event about kind gestures.
Re: Why was this character killed off? (Warning spoilers)
I really hated that they killed Gabrielle (and also Merric-at-Aswala), I get that they wanted to make it a dramatic story with consequences, but Gabriele was part of so many adventures with the Vestige, she is in the Antiquarian's Circle quest chain, and I've always thought that eventually she would continue Vanus' work in the Mages Guild. If they killed her because of Darien's return, then I'd rather that they hadn't brought Darien back at this time, and left it for a future Meridia-centric chapter. If they killed her because of an eventual player romance with Darien, then that's what the new dialogue options are for: they could have an option for a Darien-Gabriele leaning dialogue, and then another for the player. Killing off long-standing characters unceremoniously without good reason, and also bringing back characters like Mannimarco, again without a good explanation, are the marks of poor story-telling. The whole worm-cult attacking again (and with Coldharbour's aid) was generally a poor plot idea, but at least they could have saved it with interesting character situations, but this wasn't it. I wonder how the latest stories that we've had get approval from Bill and the higher-ups in the writing team, they are so forgettable, non-immerisive (especially with modern meme-type reactions and humor in some of the dialogues), and just devoid of heart.

Re: PTS Update 49 - Feedback Thread for Night Market
Yup, like I told the guar person, normal average players are not welcome.
If we're on the forums, that already puts our amount of care and knowledge and ability into the game about 80% above the true average player. But nobody around these parts truly grasps how an average player is going to feel walking into the first trash pack and getting curbstomped.
I also don't know why it matters. Once again, nobody is asking for the trial to be easier. Nobody is asking for the bosses to be easier.
All we're saying is that having the trash pack enemies be this strong is just adding annoyance to the game for those slightly above average, forcing them to play builds they don't actually enjoy (me, I have a build that works now but I don't enjoy it) and the average player is just going to get stomped and will walk away.
Meanwhile groups are still going to steamroll them like they're nothing, and players who play powerful builds still deem it easy. So it's just the worst of both worlds.
But I guess that's what you all want, and that's what the devs want, so that's what we'll get.

The Sanguine one would've been good as a holiday quest if there were proper refusal options for each of the three tasks for characters who don't want to entertain Sanguine at all despite Kuzam-jo's encouragement. Although I still take issue with the use of the daedric deities in these contexts, at all, for the exact reasons @ NotaDaedraWorshipper mentions above.
And as a side: I get that the Heart's Week festivity came from Sanguine's worshipping day and stuff or whatever, but I still don't understand why this means he would be involved now, specifically in the way that the Priest of Mara wants us to interact with it. Really knowing what Sanguine is, it's just not believable to me that an aedric priest would, after bringing this to their attention, be like "I won't pretend to be familiar with his traditions, or those that Samara plans to perform with you, but I trust your judgment. After all, Hearts Week is open to both friends and fiends alike". Sanguine is not Dibella, and it feels like he's being treated that way in the lore as of late.
The only daedric sphere I could see anyone being this chill about in this kind of context would be Azura.
This is one reason I thought it would'be been better if Samara didn't exist, just a couple of Mara priests, and one of them giving the quest would actually be a Sanguine cultist. Then it would make sense for him to be all "Oh it's no big deal, it's all part of Heart's Day, as long as no one is really harmed I trust your judgement" thing he has going on. As it is now it should've split into two or three paths where one is to completely refuse anything to do with Sanguine no matter how harmless it seems.
But this is not the first time we have weird and frankly bad writing regarding Divines and Prince worship lately, some of the latest is even again related to Sanguine, albeit Sanguine and Dibella instead of Mara. Which is on Solstice, where the Dibella worshippers are behaving extremely puritan and consider even some mild drinking and partying horrible, and the Sanguine worshippers just want to drink a little and have a mild party. Like the issue is the moderate drinking, not anything daedric. It was all rather soapboxy (which apparently happens more than once in solstice's quests).
Questions about facial hair/cosmetics?
Hello,
I wanted to talk a little bit about facial hair as well as some other cosmetics in ESO. For a long time I have noticed that a few NPCs have used an unavailable beard as pictured Druid Gastoc in Galen & Gherig Bullblood in Bloodroot Forge that has been in the game for almost a decade now. I have also seen NPCs with combined multiple facial hair styles as well, including horns on a bosmer as well. Below is a collage of a few examples. I noticed that when you use the Pyandonean Light Hat (hood) on a male character, their facial hair is shortened to the base texture of the beard as seen in the second image. I do feel like the facial hair base textures, could be a good starting point since I believe those are just a texture & don't have any meshes associated with them so to speak? Not 100% sure.
My question would be this. Is it possible that combining multiple facial hair styles & the cosmetics like the horns/antlers on bosmer combined with facial hair for example could be added in the future? I don't necessarily expect an answer to the exact question I just asked, but any insight or explanation as to why these are not options for our own characters would be greatly appreciated not just by myself, but from some other players as well.

Re: Does the Amulet of the Heart not grant unique NPC interactions?
Out of curiosity I've tried it at different locations I passed by today (among other things: at a decorated wayshrine and tavern, Shrine of Almalexia in Vivec City, Shrine of Mara in Sunport, in front of different companion house guests and summoned companions, at the Meridian Lens, at Sanguine's Shrine in the West Weald, even at an Undaunted enclave) since I still had it quick-slotted anyway, but never saw anything special.
I really do believe now that the text only refers to those achievements, though I really wouldn't call that "locations and individuals responding".
