Re: Daily writ Equipment and Consumables time per toon in Leyawiin
Solstice is great if you don't need the banker/mount trainer because it's all in one small building. And since it's in an building, there's less people and you don't have to worry about any NPCs yapping at you if you leave an alt inside of there.

I was sad not to see a bag of snowballs memento like with the mudballs.
That one got thrown into the gambling crates unfortunately.
Re: Datacenter
Well it’s not like they (MS) have got to build a new one ! They’d likely offer up one of their many existing facilities.
Generally speaking - A move to any new DC is going to cost. In addition, there’s likely to be downtime. Doesn’t matter who owns it. It’s also quite risky.
It’ll probably be cheaper to move to an MS one rather than another co lo - as it’s “in group”
The truth is it all Depends if they get “told” to move by the higher ups or commercially the risk is too high to stay. That’s probably what they mean when they say “we’re working through it” - The outcome could be to stay where it is.
Even ZOS have to answer to someone so I’m sure the relevant questions are being asked at a senior
Level. As consumers - we will be told last. That’s pretty standard and understandable commercially. But TLDR - They’ve got to work it out and I sure we will get told At the appropriate time.

Re: New Life 2025 review
As long as the furnishings aren’t bound I agree. I don’t want a bunch of bound furniture clogging up my vault/storage that I can’t give away or sell. But themed furnishings would be a nice addition. Like garlands and wreaths, rugs, stockings, etc.
Re: New Life 2025 review
I think rewards need an overhaul though idk what they could do. It's quite obvious they wanna keep the lions share for the crown store. We need to figure out what's rewarding or good rewards to add. Costumes, even reskins. Hats, still love my eye patch all these years later. Dyes. Furnishings. Hell even like stuff we could put on our horse mounts. Make horses cool again. The knights in high isle have cool looking horse armor. Let's get some of that. When indiriks came out they were so cool. Come with a new modifiable mount that takes my previous suggestion. There's gotta be more than style pages and crafting mats.
Re: ESO Writing Team: Please...stop it.
I'm an American and was taught that stuff in public school. The Odyssey, Beywolf, Gilgamesh, Shakespeare, etc. Dating myself a bit but I remember reading Romeo and Juliet and then watching the movie in class. Education level varies greatly by state.
Re: Warden class mastery charm breaks PvP rules
There are at least 2 more delayed unavoidable CCs: NB fear trap and warden Arctic Blast stun. There are a lot of avoidable delayed CCs, and some of them are worse than warden charm.
You probably never saw one of another in action because you are not playing long enough. Both was used previously by some outstanding players. Not they are just out of meta. This topic about delayed CC and burst opportunity is old and the only thing I can say - it is skill issue. It is pretty unique mechanic, but there is nothing you can't handle.
Problems with current charm are:
1) it is easily accessible; you don't need any special skill to use it, so it is widely used and annoying - just deal with it, l2p;
2) break free bug;
3) displacement bug.
Last two can be fixed by replacing charm mechanic with fear mechanic.
IMO this topic is discussed now only because this skill is spread across average PvP enjoyers, so other average PvP enjoyers play against it frequently and just can't learn counterplay and don't want to learn. ZOs made this game too easy and made these people feel like everything should be easy, so when they met steep learning curve, they just can't handle it.
Agreed. As a Warden PvP main, this all feels like a massive over reaction. Calling Warden Charm “overpowered” compared to other mastery skills is mechanically indefensible: it is the only class mastery in ESO that does zero damage, breaks immediately on incoming damage, and provides no burst, DoT, execute pressure, or delayed payoff of any kind. Every other mastery skill applies meaningful damage alongside utility, creating real kill pressure and resource strain, while Charm offers pure, fragile crowd control that costs tempo and actively reduces Warden kill potential. In PvP terms, Charm is a control concession, not a power spike—useful for spacing or resets, but strictly inferior to damage-bearing masteries in any sustained or high-level fight. Frankly, I'll trade ya.
Re: New Life 2025 review
it would be awesome if New Life boxes dropped themed furnishings like Jubilee!
Re: New Life 2025 review
Yeah, the new quests seemed kinda pointless and I'm not sure why they were added. They gave players more opportunities for the boxes I guess, but it would have been better if they had just cleared up all the inventory fodder like the consumables which were made obsolete by mementos many years ago. They should really look into making their RNG loot logic smarter as well because a lot of 'rewards' within ESO just become cluttered annoyances after you have obtained them, and stuff you could use or sell like the rare recipes have become rarer than previous years.
