Re: Empty Night Markets
While I think most criticism towards night market is unjustified, this one is a real problem. Why make a zone like this and limit the player amount so hard? When in an instance solo you never know IF there are enough players in it and WHERE they are. There should at least be indicators for EVERY boss (not only main one and skirmish) if it's being attacked. But generally I think 36 players (if thats true) is way too low for a whole instance.
Re: Does Night Market Have Too Many Instances Up?
36 is really low. Thats just 3 groups. 1 for each district.
And the plaza also belongs to the zone, so if you have people running around there, looking at the merchants, talking to npcs, reading lorebooks, etc, those are also missing in the combat zone.
I suspect 36 players as a cap might have been chosen exactly with that in mind: One group each per district, so groups don't bother each other. The problem is that people come in solo or in all kinds of group sizes, seperately from each other, and don't nicely enter the different areas according to some imaginary plan.
There's not even an indicator how many people already are in a specific zone. Maybe they could change that, too? In player houses there is a line of text that shows how many people currently are present, so there's clearly a way to track and display that already.

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Where is everyone in Night Market???? I've been in there for the last 2 hours (sneaking around) and have not seen 1 single other person. I've also been checking group finder and nothing.
I was on last night with a group and other players were joining us. Is it really completely dead tonight?

Re: Werewolf Emotes?
ZOS_JessicaFolsom wrote: »Hi everyone! Thank you for all the wonderful and creative suggestions for unique Werewolf emotes and general emote support for the Werewolf model. While this is something we all would love to do, unfortunately it isn’t something we are able to do at this time. We’d like to provide some context as to why, and though we know this is not the answer you all were hoping for, we hope it helps give you a little extra insight.
Every animation in the game from pet and mount animations to emotes to combat animations contributes to our overall shared animation memory budget for ESO. That budget has a cap to ensure the game runs as smoothly as possible and our players don’t run into a memory cap (the worst-case scenario of which ends in a blue-screen-of-death.)
Emotes, in particular, sometimes have a more “expensive” animation memory cost than regular combat or collectibles animations because we let you emote at any time, emotes can be very long and grandiose, and you can do many of the same things with them as you can with combat animations (animation cancel, blend, etc.) This makes special, contextual emotes, like those for the Werewolf model, highly expensive compared to other types of animations; we have to be extremely selective with the ones we create.
When we’re prioritizing new animations, we need to be very careful with where we spend that animation memory budget. With the class refresh work, animations related to combat skills are given higher priority than new emotes. So, again, it’s something we’d love to do at some point and may be able to revisit in the future. It’s just not in the cards at this time due to current animation memory budgets and how careful we must be with where we spend that animation memory budget.
In the meantime, can you just re-enable the use of existing emotes?
Here's a list of emotes which would play an animation if we were allowed to use emotes in Werewolf form:
- /crouch (the werewolf crouches down and starts to eat whatever is below it. This is used when the player harvests resources, repairs structures, and if we could place siege, this animation is the one used there as well)
- /begone (this emote from the Clockwork City causes you to swipe the area in front of you with your claws and then bite twice)
- /playdead (this emote causes you to do the death animation, where you lay on the ground)
- /kneelpray (this emote causes you to do the Piercing Howl attack animation, with the Roar SFX. Both the SFX and animation were updated in U50, and you can encounter this animation when kneeling at the altars in Earthen Root Enclave)
- /smash (this emote causes you to swipe the air in front of you twice. This is normally used when entering doors)
- /take (this emote causes you to swipe the air in front of you once. This is normally used when picking up items, such as torchbugs)
- /cower (this emote causes you to do what was once the blocking animation)

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Overall, it seems yet again, that the main issue with this event is lack of clear comms from ZOS.
If they had stated specifically that this was for groups, then a lot of frustration might have been avoided. If they wanted people to either have pre-made groups or find one via the Group Finder, then this should have been stated clearly.
Then there needs to be a clear and accurate explanation of the event and how to do it. Players should not be having to google how the event works.
I think if the comms had been better, then the exoectations would have been managed better, and there would (possibly) not be 20 odd pages of feedback in the first fee days).

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Jumped in , no one around , jumped out again. Event sounded promising but I would rather spend my time doing my usual things. Even the prospect of unlocking a house did not tempt me to stay.
Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 3 Summary
I understand that the feedback threads are mostly dominated by sorc and ww conversations, but I am really disappointed with how little care templar received this time around.
Judgements brand is horrendously weak in pvp, and the other offensive mastery is just barely serviceable, especially taking into account the offensive passives other classes get access to.

Re: Update 50 PTS – Week 3 Summary
For werewolf, PLEASE USE BATTLE SPIRIT TO BALANCE THINGS!! Don’t affect PVE because pvpers are the loudest and whiniest out of the two playstyles. Using Battle Spirit keeps things in check ONLY for PVP.
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Disgustingly laggy just like any pvp or vet maelstrom arena.
Also there is no one here.

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
I don't have the time, patience or will to group for this content, plus I'm 8-10 hours ahead of most of my server's population (AEST). So, if grouping is more or less mandatory I'm not likely to do it. No FOMO whatsoever, sorry.
