I came back to the game after months away, and discovered that the dailies for the event are maxed at 6 per. So obviously, after I max the dailies I go do something else. I don't grind for the rewards, I just bought them all off the guild vendors. I already owned the house. I already got all the achievements that can be gotten in phase 1. There's no reason to grind for the progress bar without major rewards.

Edited to add: I don't do the collect this and that dailies because the drop rate is ridiculous.

I like the idea of different instruments and songs to collect.

Imagine having a class similar to Alan Dean Fosters Spellsingers

I liked the books. I would have liked those books better if I had known the songs they were quoting at the time. I might have to dig the books out.

This is probably like the Chanters in Pillars of Eternity.

Great idea.

Which story is it in Elder Scrolls where you have to memorise the quotes from bits of parchment you find then quote them? Was that in Skyrim?

One thing we can learn is to forget any old petty disagreement we may have had with guild friends and log in everyday to keep things lively.

Events which push group play result in my not wanting to play this game more. I quit playing this day without even looking at the endeavor quest goals.
Seems the overland and the zone chat have been taken over by ill-tempered souls. Wish there was something ZOS could do to see an end to the hate & hoard attitudes.
I really want to enjoy the game again.
Maybe if we be rid of the economy part. We don't need player sales in this game.

I second this.

Questions: Looking at the article, it states only the vitrified souls and camp defense quests to be able to drop the coldharbour home, but some players have posted the crafting ones do too? Do the blue coffers also have a chance for the home to drop, or only the golden coffers? Do the blue *crafting* coffers have a chance for the home to drop?

Right now, I wish the event would be much shorter, I would rather go straight to Eastern Solstice and do the story content, than grind the wall for another month.

Personally I also do not like this way of releasing content, I would rather buy a chapter outright and gain access to it at a certain date. Having access to content at a certain date makes me look forward to the content. With the current event it feels like I have to earn/work for my already bought content(and will probably be burned out by the time I can access it). Realize, this is coming from someone who loves doing daily quests!

Better would have been to release the content at a certain date. And use the wall/event thing to open up something smaller like a new secondary trial, or two new dungeons, or a new character slot, or the zone's public dungeon, or that new zone in a different time period, or a new companion, or something like that. That way we can look forward to the new content, have a reason to progress the bar, have a reason to play in the new content, and have something to unlock which doesn't really matter when it unlocks exactly.

I would add here another "what if" suggestion:

It would have been far more interesting, instead of dolmens (camps), to have a PvE version of castles from Cyrodiil, so the Worm Cult could take over a castle/fort in Solstice, and players could siege it, or be sieged and wiped out by some tough monsters like Gish. That way you could have more fun, and would see the map controlled by the Worms or by the Fellowship.

The idea with the leaderboard is great. Also, having guilds compete would have been great, and the top X guilds could get a guild house or something like an unique skin or mount for everyone.

For example, how cool would have been to have the tabards of the top guilds taking part in the event hang in Solstice and on Stirk for the rest of the game future? And have the names of the top three players have plaques and statues in Solstice besides other NPC statues?

Top 3 of what? Daily quest grinders? Why would we celebrate 3 out the thousands doing their part?

IMO, the biggest takeaway the devs could get from NW would be the mapping and use of controllers. Using L1/LB as a combo-modifier instead of a single use command, to open up more and intuitive button combos would be a godsend for ESO controller/console play.

I agree, the button layouts felt really strong, having more keybind options in ESO would make the game feel a lot better, instead of having to go through several menus for something, being able to just map it to a button, would be a huge QoL feature only possible with more binding options.
