I’m just stealthing past most of the enemies unless there’s a group I can tag along with. It’s tedious and I don’t expect I’ll engage with the Night Market for very long.

"Reward is also terrible."

Despite of extremely hard work, we just got old zone's set equipment.
It's mostly trash. I want 4 gold material per boss killing and housing material.

"Lack of ELderScrolls theme at all."

Just keep killing over and over.

Dev just mix boring and stressful mini game and endless 12 player style infinity archive.
I want...or we want, ElderScroll air romantic adventure, not like that.

It's ridiculously hard...too many mobs and they respawn too fast. I dont play eso on tne same planet as the people creating this content. Im sad i cant participate. Cant even find groups for it.

I guess eso is miving towards the hardmide vet players and forgetting the rest of us.

"too many mobs and they respawn too fast"

Yea, this is problem. Once, you are respawned at the distanced position from your group, then
you can't reach your group location easily because of this. Need teleportation system like
group dungeon.

As a mostly solo player, the difficulty doesn’t really hold me back; it’s easy to find a group in the group finder where people usually don’t even say hello, so it doesn’t really force players to socialize. However, after the second day, I’ve killed most of the bosses (except for the trial and dungeon bosses) and found most of the leads, and I’m starting to get bored there, because I don’t enjoy repeatedly killing the same bosses and mobs, and the rewards after getting fragments for the house aren’t motivating enough anymore. I expected there to be more activities or some kind of progression, like gradually unlocking new locations or more interesting quests in the districts, not just basic “find something” tasks.

Those mechanics would have for in super nicely with the lore of the factions as well. The Thousand Eyes needing to sneak around, maybe do things like Cyrodiil scouting reports, and being able to use some kind of hidden tunnels (even just some that you interact with and poof, you're on top of a building again) would have been such a cool dynamic. As it currently is the Ruckus is the play style for every inch of content in the NM. Dominate, crush, rip, and tear through strength. If I've signed up with an army of daedrats, spiders, crabs, whatever, then why am I now a part of a militaristic juggernaut? Joining factions that align with your preferred play style would have been super cool and give those factions an identity

Exactly. I also think there's a bit of a weird disconnect between what the factions are supposed to be story-wise, and the actual playable content right now. What does running around, killing everything, finding some missing people and freeing pets from cages every now and then, has to do with seeking for secrets? Or that wealth-focused faction, how do these tasks relate to them? There's no congruency somehow. To me it also makes the factions feel less meaningful, because it doesn't make any difference for the game experience at all which one we choose. Apart from slightly different dialogue and the faction merchants offering only their faction's banner as a furnishing.

To me this feels like PVP; I only enjoy it when in a group or zerg. So I'll play it, do the quests, get the relics, die a lot and then probably will be done with it.

I wrote it in some other thread already, but I would have set the Market up differently, with different content types (both group as well as solo tasks) people could just choose freely from, in any way getting the chance for the fragments, relics and housing rooms. Not because I personally think every expansion needs solo content (I'm personally absolutely fine with additions that are group only), but - you see the drama on these forums right now. So going for mixed content might be the best-received option. And the Market as a location is surely big enough so tasks of different playstyles could have been placed there.

In particular, I would have utilized the factions for different task styles. Right now, there's no real difference anyway, and everyone is doing the same things. Instead, they could have given one faction a clear "boss combat and group content" identity. Another faction could have been focused on solo content and puzzles, for example. And then there could have been one for solo spywork - sneaking, sabotaging, collecting info, etc. In the end, those seem to be the primary playstyles of this location anyway: For questing, you best sneak around alone, for boss fights, you group. They could have as well incorporated that into the location story somehow.

This weird entitlement that solo players have shown in the last several months is getting old. Every piece of content in this massively multiplayer online game does not need to be calibrated for your liking. And it’s not even that hard to find a group. Some of you are acting like this is the death knell of ESO just because it’s not to your liking. You don’t like it? Don’t do it. This is a video game, not a job or your life’s calling. There’s 98% of a whole game you can still play.

It's been shown multiple times over many years that more people play MMOs in majority solo-mode. That means there are almost certainly more "solo players" funding your gaming experience. Rather than this group being "entitled" as you put it, they simply want the values of the game they have been playing (and paying for) for years to be upheld - they don't want their play style to be excluded from new content and they have a right to express that.

I would also like to politely correct you: a massively multiplayer online game doesn't mean "big group game". It means a live game with many people playing at once. Your insinuation that MMO is equivalent to "group" is entirely wrong.

Have a good one.

''You are a minority so every single update should be about me.''

Same language being used before to exclude pvp players from things are now being used to try to exclude pve'rs who like challenge.

I might also modify the difficulty of certain things a bit. Currently most basepop (trash) is balanced as normal trial basepop. I would actually reduce the difficulty of specifically the basepop mobs to normal dungeon difficulty - not the bosses, and not even the elite mobs (the big enemy in each pull), but I would pull the handful of trash down a bit. That would really not change much for vet players (unless they are specifically looking for difficulty in being swarmed), but less experienced players could then better focus one dangerous mob in the pull instead of being oneshot by everything.

This would help immensely and is mostly all what the 'toxic casual crybabies' are asking for.

It is highly unreasonable to consume keys upon completion of the dungeons and trial.

The current situation, as I understand it, is that keys are consumed. This implies that a person who wants to run the trial must kill 2 argent bosses and the gilded dungeon boss in every district, every time they run it (assuming the previous run was cleared successfully).

This will ensure that while some people might do it once for the novelty of experiencing the trial, virtually nobody will want to go through that effort more than once.
