Re: PTS Update 48 - Bug Reports for Eastern Solstice (Zone, Quests, etc)
Yeah, I have the same issue, stuck at Skordo at the same dialogue.
My character is a copied one that did the Daggerfall Covenant and finished the base game's main quest, with Coldharbour invasion, defeating Molag Bal and all.
Seconding: It would be awesome if this new assembly by a quest NPC could be dissolved fast.

Hats and eyelashes.
I saw the new armour style on the store today and promptly bought it. It was just the thing I wanted, and a cursory look in preview suggested it does not remove eyelashes.
Upon closer examination, I see that that's not entirely true:
Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's... the way to not make the eyes bald?
This is a pet peeve of mine and I've probably written about it before. I really wish cosmetics worked without distorting or cancelling each other out, and veiled hoods + eyelashes is one of the biggest offenders. I hope this gets fixed, and not to a bald-eyed state!

Re: Rich Lambert's Comments About The Current State of Balance
Numbers don't lie and right now ESO is not in a good spot.
I can't speak for anyone but myself and my wife, but we both quit the game about 1 month (if that) after subclassing came out.
Both of us feel, and this is not something we discussed beforehand that would influence the other, but we both felt, on our own accord that the issue with subclassing was how it made our alts feel, meaning, pointless, homogonized.
Both of us spent money on homes, outfits, weapons, mounts, pets, every cosmetic imaginable JUST to flesh out our alts. I have 19, she has 20.
Now that our alts lost their uniqueness, we just don't see the point in playing and we haven't. We miss the game, talk about it at times, but the second we start talking about subclassing, we are both immediately turned off.
I'd argue that subclassing has been a net-negative. Sure, its brought some to the game, some back to the game...but how many have quit, possibly for good?

Re: Vengeance has officially ended the THREE BANNERS WAR
There’s no Golden Pursuit for it and it’s running during the Undaunted event. It could’ve been planned better IMO..
Anyway despite being 0 bars I found more action than I would find in Gray Host at this time of day. If Vengeance is showing 0 bars, it could still very well be more populated than a Gray Host with 2 bars.

A. They're the bad guys. The entire point of rewards for random dungeons is to get people into the queue so that those who need to do certain content can find people to do it with. Viewing the rewards as the sole point of doing randoms and thus disregarding the entire purpose you're there to fulfill is a short-sighted, self-involved, thoughtless way to behave.
B. The system favors them. See a chest? Ported away before you can loot it. Need to do dialogue on a base-game dungeon? Ported away before you can do so. Feel like skipping mobs is cheap and failing to actually engage with the content? Doesn't matter if three of you feel that way. All it takes is one person who only values speed. That one gets their way every. Single. Time.
What does a bad guy who's winning have to complain about?
It's amazing to me how many people have forgotten this or just don't care, but you're being rewarded for helping people. HELP THEM.
Negative, the bad guy is the person who needs to do the quest but doesn't speak up like an adult in group chat telling the group members that he needs to do the quest and then gets so bent out of shape when people just complete the content that he rage posts on the forums about speed runners.
The game's been out for 11 years so people assume the others are doing the run for transmutes or gear unless someone says they're doing the quest when we start. Notice this doesn't happen when a new dungeon comes out since it's assumed that people are doing the quest until the dungeon has been out for a while.

*CONSTANTLY* is it? Because no, it isn't constantly.
Also, if you weren't wildly exaggerating and it were? It would imply that the OP's complaint has merit - if as YOU state, so many others share that pov - vs the very few, again according to you, who prefer speedrunning.
Then the onus would be on the skipper to get their own group.
Or do you *actually* think it's more logical that people doing the dungeon as designed need to just shut up, than people queueing as tank and just doing whatever?
How does that make sense to you? Apply that faulty logic to anything else, you see where it fails.
Not just talking about the event, either.
More people may well be complaining about speedrunners robbing them of the chests, finishing encounters, etc idk I didn't take a poll; but that doesn't make their pov invalid, or wrong.

Re: PTS Update 48 - Bug Reports for Eastern Solstice (Zone, Quests, etc)
Any chance this new edition of The Worm Turns bug can get fixed before the PTS swaps to EU? It'd be really disappointing to do all that work to do all the side quests before the main quest only to lose it all to week 3 EU
Re: "Small Refine Method" AKA Time Wasting Pseudo Science Scam
I always just click the "Mass Refine" button that comes from Mass Deconstruct addon. Never checked the options for the refinement.
Now I checked. Hey, it has an option: "Refine full stacks" with default is off.
I usually leave my crafter just refine while I go do something else, but now I don't have to. Never given it much thought, tho.

Re: "Small Refine Method" AKA Time Wasting Pseudo Science Scam
Been fighting this for years. Another forum user has the data. The only difference between small batch refining and mass batch has always only been the time it took to mass refine, with the very very rare exception of bugs.
But players are superstitious by nature. I know a player that insisted that lvl1 mats gave more gold tempers than any other mat.
