Yes, it's a group zone. I solo vet DLC dungeons and went there with my solo character. While waiting for grouping with my guildies, I had a generic PO build on and yes, it was tough but mostly doable. A boss took ages, though. Once I had some in a group I had to switch to a non-PO setup and noticed immediately that it's not really going to work solo, so I went to the central market and waited for the rest of my guildies to arrive.

It's a group area. Go as a group, or follow a group. Don't wait for anyone to pick you up when you die, just respawn. The respawn places are quite close so it's not far to run back to the fight.

I enjoyed it for the most part. Went in solo, found some groups and tagged along with them for a bit. Dropped in and out as I wanted. Annoyed a bit at how frequent death is, but offset reasonably by the respawn point never being too far from the boss locations. Typically you can just res and jump back down immediately. The set items from the reward coffers are a bit of a joke though. The trial and dungeon gear is nice, but who's excited about craftable sets?

Experienced one bug where a boss froze up completely with 1.8% health left but the second try worked fine so no real complaints.

PSA to everyone: the Night Market update removed a handful of items from my collections on PS5. I'm missing several mounts and it also weirdly removed the chest piece of one outfit that I've found so far. Check your stuff and submit a support ticket. I've played for years so here's hoping there aren't more items I haven't noticed yet

Hey @Apollosipod what is your support ticket number, please?

The issue has been fixed! Thanks to you and the support team!

Has it been fixed for all players??

Yeah this is gravely concerning. I have 9 years worth of collected cosmetics, I can't recall every single thing I have right this minute. How would I know if something is missing, only to think about it six months later and realize it's gone?

(PS-NA) Apparently there is no way to leave the Night Market outside of traveling to a home outside of Fargrave from your Collections tab. I should be able to use the wayshrine in the plaza to do so.

Also, as many before have said, if you are solo or even two-player co-oping with a friend, there is pretty much no chance at getting much of anything done. Even running something as inane as repairing the wards means I am dying constantly, cannot outrun/hide the mobs, and most of my gear is broken within five minutes. Two or three hits take out any of the companions I have active, so there's no real help there, either. I swear I was alone in the Parch for a while today because either no other players were given quests to go into the area or they just aren't playing.

Yes, I know this is Day One, but reading that a lot of the same issues I'm having were brought up during PTS is just not a great look and don't entice me to come back to this area, no matter how much I'd love to fully unlock the Night Den. Which is horrible knowing that I'll probably never unlock the three wings or get access to the new safe.

I'm not sure if it's a PS versus PC issue but I was able to use the wayshrine to leave just fine. I did complete the initial quest to unlock the house, not sure if that mattered.

Played around the Skittering Precinct for longer than I cared to (I chose Thousand Eyes) , but general first impression is that this content has a cool factor, but is incredibly unintuitive, and seemingly buggy. Primary bug I encountered was randomly certain skills or light attacks did not registering on enemies at all. Secondly, quest markers kept flickering off and on, making finding the objectives for the dailies frustrating; possibly because of combat but idk for certain...

Finding the relic Fragments is sort of convoluted, and even after reading the achievement, I am uncertain how to obtain the last Egg of Arac fragment from "Night Market coffers" even though I had opened many coffers in the process...

Went into the other districts as part of my faction's 'Main quest' but both precincts were ghost towns.

Oddities are kinda ok? the Void Escape boon in particular was cool. The puzzles/minigames however, are absolute trash. You have to wait a stupid amount of time for them to even start, only for them to last a brief moment, and none of the actions respond well to your input or are sabotaged by random players activating stuff at random; Just all around frustrating.

I think the problem lies in ZoS always making it incredibly difficult to onboard players into the harder content. There's always been this big divide between difficulty modes with no intuitive way to get paired up. We have group finder now, but I'll be lucky if I ever see a functional group on there. ZoS always treated the game as if their consumers would play the game 8-10 hours per day non-stop and the insane content grind reflects that. This is why games that pair players up automatically tend to be popular these days, ain't nobody got the attention span for grouping up and rehearsing a 3 hour play for a bad time.

1) The re-spawn time is ridiculously too fast;

2) The difficulty level is too much overall; this is coming from someone who regularly does vet DLC HMs (not trials, granted).

As someone doing vet DLC trials, NM is harder even with full group. Needs guild group with tanks and healers.
PUGs with just 3-4 DDs forget it. People die, nobody resurrects, and then you have to come down from portal and pray you aren't ganged by the mobs on the way to the group.

Let alone people don't wait, so they can kill a boss, get their lead and run off, while you were running to the location.

As @Athory said, who the heck through this belongs to ESO?

This is Craglorn 2 during the May 2014 trash mob resist/penetration bug. Those of us here since the Beta and pre-release weekend, know exactly what I am talking about.

If you chose ruckus you're instanced with other ruckus players and they have the least population

This is not accurate. Players are not given priority to be instanced with players of the same Faction. There may be fewer players in the Ruckus District right now because folks are prioritizing a different District, but that is not how instancing in the Night Market works. When players enter the main hub and Districts, they join based on when they entered until the zone cap is hit, then a new instance spins up. That's it.

Thank you. I mean no disrespect though but I think instancing numbers need to be double checked as I've been in a few very very dead instances.

The issue is the instance is spread across all 3 districts and the hub. So the game is probably just putting you in an instance where, statistically since Thousand Eyes is dominating right now, all the players in your instance are over there based on happenstance.

Each instance only has 30-something players, so it's not hard to find yourself in an empty one when you're playing a less popular faction.

Every player of every faction can go into every district, and if you want to do the achievements and unlock all the wings of the house, you have to go into all of them. So even if you're in a different faction you can still go wherever the people are.

Yes but if you're trying to do your faction quest and joined the Ruckus, welp I hope you can do it solo.

Looks like invisibility potions are going to be a hot commodity!

this is how it should be if not you will get 100s of players that just run get 1 hit in and die while still getting awarded for laying dead on the floor after doing nothing

Yeah but right now if I could potentially lose the reward for dying trying to help, why would I help? Why wouldn't I just do a few hits, stand by a wall and just wait for the boss to die? Either or you're going to have people abuse the system, just right now you are punishing more people trying to help.

am with you on that , reason there should be a mid level of damage needed to get awarded for doing something. so that them that want to hit and run or them that hit and die both get nothing for doing nothing

I do agree with you on that. I think that is a perfectly reasonable middle ground. Where someone needs to do a certain amount of damage in order to get the reward. Which was my original frustration. As I was there fighting from the BEGINNING of the skirmish until the last 5%. But I didn't get anything despite helping as hard as I could for 95% of the fight. I just want people who may not be able to enter a group still get credit, considering their choice in not letting us use soul gems and how easy it is to die during the fights. Right now this is just encouraging people who are not able to get in a group to hug a wall when the boss is down to 25% or fear being left out of the rewards.

Also to add, I didnt even get the achievement for it? Unless that is a bug? Because even if I didnt get credit for the kill, I should have at least got the achievement for participating?
