Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
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.
I won't speak for others, as this thread has demonstrated that a lot of us are not playing or are not going to play it now. .
Took half a day not a month.
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
I originally zoned in by myself and a companion and got my butt handed to me quite quickly. Then I decided to make a run for it and actually managed to zig zag my way around and complete the tasks for the quests they gave me. Did die a few more times doing that but then I saw a massive group of players and decided to follow them around and join in with them. It was actually a lot of fun. I managed to complete a few quests and even got some tome points doing that.
It kind of reminds me of doing those wandering zone bosses in the Deadlands when everyone joins in to take him down. It was fun but as someone who is not in a guild, I can understand why some won't enjoy it.

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Well, i took a look. Not happy at all. Seems to be another only group content. Funny, cause there was no other players, just me. Besides, i hate groups. If i cannot solo it, you can keep it.
Btw. even if it would be possible to solo this in the theory, it's actually not, cause the game keeps stopping. The delay is a catastrophy. Since the last update playing bekame really annoing. The next update should be about the server performace, just saying...
If you chose ruckus you're instanced with other ruckus players and they have the least population
Everyone can play together, regardless which faction. Instances aren't separated by faction, only by population.
Re: Night Market Opinion Poll
It's too difficult (Solo Player)
Have limited amount of play time and cannot wait around for grouping.
Did enter the event but got one shotted all the time.
So, a waste of my time and will not be particpating further.

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
It seems strange that, at a time when we are looking forward to Challenge Difficulty, which will allow everyone to play the way they want, something which seems so exclusionary has been introduced.

Re: SUPRISE ! People dont like VENGEANCE

Worse, the player counts are tripled in number.
Would you like that? That's essentially what is happening here. Ultra snoozefest casual mode not even entertaining to pvers longer than two days.
No. I wouldn't. But PVP currently is a trial in Vet with HM-Bosses only which has to be accomplished within speedrun time and without a group member dying. So I don't enjoy it. I'd like to have some option to either learn and move on to harder content or to stay in a simple "casual" mode to have fun. I'd like to have a choice. Vengeance gave it to me and I enjoyed it.
And again, I don't want the classic mode to be removed. I like Vengeance to be an alternative to it, not its replacement.
You do have a choice. You can totally just sit inside a keep on siege and pew pew people from a mile away. Or, you can try to pull people in and fight them, or you can zerg surf (support from others) and fight people and learn.
The problem is people expect to just load into cyrodiil.. charge right at someone.. and kill them with a few clicks and that simply isn't how it works.
I remember when ESO first launched and I went to the lvl 30 zone when I was lvl 15 and I got my butt handed to me... I went back to the right zone, got some gear... learned some things.. came back to the lvl 30 zone and had a blast.
The whole mindset of.. I've hardly ever been in cyro (or am a casual) and expect to charge headfirst and get 20+ kills in a few minutes is just... it's just not it fam. Thats not how any successfull MMORPG PvP system works.
They are gritty, hard, boot in your face, pick yourself out of the mud, kind of systems.. and I say this as someone who gets my butt handed to me all the time by people in Cyro.

Re: Thousand Eyes ahead of everyone by miles
My guess is that people are more interested in the monster set from Thousand Eyes than the sets from the other factions.
I picked Thousand Eyes for the same reason I picked DC: it's the blue faction.
People should know that the difference between winning and losing is the chance at getting a gold upgrade mat when deconning your final reward, versus the chance at a blue upgrade mat from that decon.
On the other hand, Ruckus fragments for the new recipe are currently the most valuable on the market because they have the lowest population and thus the lowest supply of fragments on the market.

Night Market: Getting started and basics
Step 1: Enter the Night Market and get your free house
You can access the Night Market from any wayshrine. It's located within the Fargrave map. You don't need access to Fargrave; you can click on the Night Market directly, kinda like how you can access Infinite Archive even if you don't have Apocrypha.
Once inside, talk to the Curator, who will direct you to talk to each of the faction leaders, and you'll then need to pick a faction to pledge to.
It does not matter which faction you choose.
Your faction choice does not affect your ability to group with other players or to share quests with friends. Pick whatever faction you want--it's all personal preference.
Step 2: Your faction's intro quest
After pledging to a faction, your faction leader will give you an intro quest that sends you to all three districts to do a simple task in each district. My advice is to get this over with as soon as possible, so this is not really the time to explore the districts. In fact, I just sneaked past or ran-past-and-die to get these objectives done. Why would I do this? Because once the intro quests are done, then you can pick up faction dailies, and if you're going to explore and actually play in the districts, it's better to have these faction dailies that you can get done along the way. I'll explain more later on.
(Of course, if you want to explore and do more during the intro quest, that's totally fine too. But I just feel like it's more efficient if you're also getting credit for these faction dailies while you're doing that.)
Finally, this intro quest is done only once per account. If you want to jump into the Night Market on another character, they won't have to do the intro quest again.
Step 3: Collect the relics!
The first big thing to do in the Night Market is to collect the three relics, one for each district.
Relics? What relics?? The relics are kind of the centerpieces of the Night Market. Collecting each relic unlocks a wing of your new house. Collecting each relic unlocks new, previously inaccessible areas of each district and ultimately the relics allow you to access the "end bosses" of the Night Market.
So relic collection is an important central part of the Night Market.
Each relic is broken into 10 splinters, and you need to collect all 10. So 3 relics, 10 splinters each, for 30 total. You can track your progress with the relic splinters in the achievements.
So, where do you get these splinters? 7 of the 10 splinters for each relic come from bosses in each district. There's the Skirmish in the middle of each district, which happens on a timer and rotation. Each district also has 4 low-tier (Brazen) bosses and 2 mid-tier (Argent) bosses (the end boss of each district--the Gilded boss--cannot be accessed until you've collected the relic, so don't worry about that for now).
The Brazen bosses are in 2 pairs of 2... a pair in the north of each district, and a pair in the south of each district. When both Brazen bosses in a pair are defeated, then the Argent boss that oversees those two Brazen bosses will spawn. And when both Brazen bosses and their overseeing Argent boss are all defeated, then the Brazen bosses respawn and the cycle repeats.
So, 7 of the splinters in each district come from the 1x Skirmish, 2x Argent, 4x Brazen bosses, and these are guaranteed drops.
Then an 8th splinter drops from the "trash" in each district, and this is an RNG drop. You might get lucky and get it early before you've collected the guaranteed boss splinters, or you might get it long after you've gotten the 7 boss splinters.
A 9th splinter comes from your faction's merchant. These cost gold, but you must first earn at least 500 favor with your faction in order to buy them.
(The following text is obsolete after the hotfix on April 30)
The 10th splinter comes from quest coffers, specifically the ones that have "Night Market" in their name. They are guaranteed drops from the gold coffers and a small chance from the blue ones. These are the repeatable quests that you pick up outside of the districts, and there are 6 total:
Without quest sharing, each character will be able to do two of these quests per day: The quest from Dorfifar and one of the five faction leader quests. However, similar to how overland world boss dailies work, it is possible to do all 6 dailies on a single character in a single day, if you share quests with other players. And yes, you can share quests with anyone from any faction!
Finally, the relics are collectibles. Once unlocked, they are permanently unlocked forever.
Step 4: Beyond the relics
Once you've collected all 30 splinters for all 3 relics, then you can tackle the special bosses of the Night Market. The Gilded bosses in each district can only be reached by using the district's relic, and they are 4-player instances. Kinda like a dungeon, except it's just a single boss fight.
Accessing the Gilded bosses require "keys" from Argent bosses. The keys are consumed upon the defeat of the Gilded boss, so if you wipe and give up, that's fine, you still have the keys. Since you also need to kill the Argent bosses to unlock the relic to reach the Gilded boss, you are guaranteed to already have the keys in your possession when you access each Gilded boss for the very first time. So you don't really have to worry about keys... at first. The only time you need to really worry about keys is if you want to kill the Gilded boss more than once. In that case, then each subsequent kill of the Gilded boss will require that you re-acquire the keys from the Argent bosses.
And once you've defeated all 3 Gilded Bosses, you can then access the Opulent Ordeal, which is a trial. I won't get into the trial here in this post, since that really deserves a post of its own. But it is, I think, the most fun trial ever. It doesn't require crazy healing or crazy damage, and instead, its difficulty lies entirely on good teamwork. It's really fun, and I hope people are able to give it a try!

So, for example, it took me 17 quest coffers to get all 3 splinters that come from quest coffers (1 per relic, and there are 3 relics). Some people in my group got lucky and got it way earlier. And there was one person who was exceptionally unlucky and needed 41 coffers to get their 3 splinters. Yikes!
This is why those faction daily quests are important, because if your luck isn't great, it could take a lot of quests to get your splinters![/s]

- Quest ID 7404, "Representing the Faction", from your faction leader
