The biggest issue seems to be grouping is REQUIRED yet quests can't be shared, and with everyone on different quests coordination is hard. The Skittering is much harder (interestingly The Parch is easy).

Wait! Where have I read this before? Let me think, let me think....... PTS feedback thread? Is it possible?
Sample of the many posts on this topic below.
And? Was this issue around sharing quests fixed? eeeeeeeeeeeeeee nope!

Came home to find the Night Market empty and 1 group in group finder that promptly wiped and disbanded. It's Day 1 -half the player base should be in there?

Very disappointed as I thought on the first day at least there would be groups.

Only empty instances.

Going back to Windrose until you people fix whatever reason the entire player base decided it wasn't worth doing. Once again the ESO hype team is full of hot air and content is rubbish. Utterly sick of getting let down over and over again by ESO.

*And yes, slot Pale Order and you can spend millions of hours of soloing content without dying. But why? There are more fun games to play.

The timing with D4 and a new POE league couldn't be better far as I'm concerned. It's baffling that they would implement group content in this way, and it's not so much the difficulty, moreover the fact that in 2026 they still haven't added tools to properly complete group content. Almost no one will be playing this content in a month. I can guarantee.

It is WAY too confusing. We need to kill what, to gather what, in order to earn what? And there are 4+ different levels of boss? And do I need to gather X before I can do Y? (Like, I have a quest to find lost people. But they're not in the circles. So do I need the fan or the grappling hook or whatever in order to do this quest? I don't know.)

And there are golden pursuits, plus new achievements, plus we're earning trade bars, plus we're earning transmutes, and what counts as which kind of quest, and and and and

ETA: I'm on my third youtube video, just to figure out what to do. And why can't I travel to my fancy new house from within the Night Market?

EETA: BASE GAME SETS as coffer rewards? Really?

Only a couple of posts as example.

Feedback.
For it to be fair:
- we should be allowed to mount in it.
- every group of mobs should be avoidable with stealth, not completely blocking passages forcing you to engage.
- favors should frequently drop from regular mobs (I killed more than a hundred without a single drop) otherwise what is even the point of all these mobs? Just to slog, interrupt and annoy?
- remove the need to "claim favor" from the gold orb: it seems to spawn randomly during quests and I never understand if I am not seeing it or it has not appeared. Just make it a normal auto-loot added to our account.
- increase favors from daily quests.

I won't repeat what almost everyone else here have already said (instance issues, too hard, etc.) but I agree with every raised red flag.
My feedback is in addition cause I think solving it could alleviate the problems.

First off, the Curator dialogue topics read as though I'm meant to know about this "Night Market" even though this is the first my character (or I) have heard of it. I have to mention it to him before he even speaks of it.
Second, I've exhausted all dialogue topics he has and yet the quest still tells me to "Talk to the curator".
Is this thing broken?

Wait! Where have I read this before? Let me think, let me think....... PTS feedback thread? Is it possible?
Actually, on the PTS, at least one line of dialogue still worked.
And? Was the quest fixed? eeeeeeeeeeeeeee nope!
It was actually broken even more.
But then, why would you expect the starting quest to be tested before launch, right?

I’ve spent some time in the Night Market on PC EU as a mostly solo player and I’d like to make a few observations.
My main concern is that the content currently feels both very difficult and strangely empty at the same time. From reading other comments, it sounds like the instancing/population caps may be spreading players out too thinly. As a result, I often found myself alone in encounters that feel tuned for multiple players.
I’m not a new player or someone expecting effortless overland combat — I’ve soloed normal group dungeons on this character before — but in the Night Market I was being killed extremely quickly, sometimes before I had much opportunity to react or learn mechanics properly. The issue isn’t simply “difficulty”; it’s the combination of high incoming damage, low visible player density, and content that appears to assume group participation without naturally providing it. I also understand the mobs were already adjusted after PTS feedback, which makes me wonder whether solo scaling or increased player density may still need further consideration.
At the moment, it’s discouraging that parts of the Night Den house are locked behind Night Market progression, particularly for players currently struggling with the difficulty.
The gear rewards do not feel especially motivating, since many of the featured sets are already easily available through existing overland content.
I do think the atmosphere and concept of the Night Market are interesting, and I’m hoping things improve once more players are active, strategies emerge, and any balance adjustments are made. For now though, as a solo-oriented player, the experience has felt more frustrating than enjoyable.

i dislike this whole thing. my repair bill is climbing just trying to do the first few missions. place a stone get nucked, respawn try to get the the next get nucked again. run the whole of the game in the open world without a group now to do the new shinny thing solo and get wrecked NOT fun. well the screen is getting ready to log me out time to increase my repair bill. dislike dislike dislike and hate this event. maybe in a few days will change my thought but might just leave with a bad taste in my month and not play this event.

Its so hardcore. Its Craglorn 2.0. Those of us that played as Craglorn came out will remember. Craglorn was set up as a harder Zone, the wasps killed you with 1 or 2 hits, after a while ESO toned it down, so i will prob give up on it and wait until the Nerf

Oh wait! Where did I read this before? PTS thread, maybe?
And? Was the difficulty level adjusted? eeeeeeeeeeeee nope!
