Best Of
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Massive disappointment for me personally. Seems like if you don't have a set group you always run with you're basically out of luck unless you're extremely good and extremely geared, none of which is true for me. I freely admit I'm not very good at the game, and my gear and champion points are not the best or even close to the best.
Shame because I'm very interested in the content and the rewards, its all right up my alley, but after spending my few hours of game time in two different pug groups who had so much trouble that the yakety sax music may as well have been playing the entire time, I'm probably not gonna try again.
Dying and getting separated from the group, now you've got those extremely high HP trash packs between you and the group, and they're for sure not coming back for you, so what are your options? Can't solo your way back the group, impossible, can't sneak past the mobs, impossible unless you're a stage 4 vamp I suppose, can try to sprint past them and spam shields, but that's just gonna end with you dead again.
Tried to dou it with my one gaming buddy who plays ESO, and we got absolutely brutalized, no chance we can do this as 2.
So yeah really disappointed, was looking forward to playing this event and earning the rewards, looks like I won't get to do either. As I said before I'm not very good or very geared but this content feels far harder, and far far far more tedious than any of the content I've engaged with over the years I've played. Not fun.

Re: Please re-balance Serpent's Disdain next
My thoughts are these "problematic" sets for 1v1 egos and getting xv1'd by are small fry compared to rush of agony dictating the entire pvp ecosystem and all the 3rd order of effects from its vast use-cases.
There are a number of item sets and other things causing issues in PvP, i agree.
Rush of agony has a number of interactions that would require (and should have) its own discussion in my opinion.
I would encourage you to go do this.
If there are a "number of sets" causing issues. That technically is balance.
Reality is that it is Rush of Agony and warden charm.
There are a small number of sets outperforming many others, such as Null Arca outperforming every burst damage proc set.
There are sets like Rush of Agony which annoy us all to no end and have absurd interactions with other CC abilities, pulls when it should not and enables some of the least fun strategies to ever grace this game.
Rallying Cry is another example but that is more nuanced.
Having a small number of sets that feel almost mandatory in some cases or just the "only/best" choice in their categories is not my idea of balance, this game has hundreds of item sets, not five.

Probably in an attempt to mitigate some of the push back that's inevitable when there's a location specific Golden Pursuit. Which is pointless in this instance, but never let it be said that ZOS doesn't try to solve problems that don't exist while leaving the ones that do to languish.
Re: Why not have difficulty levels for night market too, so we can all enjoy our game ?
Im very suspicious of those that can solo the night market cos i have done vet group content and this place in on a whole other level. Anyway, without actual proof from posters on these forums it's just heresay.
I haven't explored too much yet, but at least the trash groups and the Calamitous Duneripper were doable without preparation. It was fun enough, but I'll have to explore more to make a definitive statement. Difficulty was probably comparable to a Harrowstorm or a Dragon so far.

Lol you could have friends that are just not showing in the screen shot so doesnt prove anything to me but ty for

Just use the Group Finder, there are tons of 12-player groups. I’ve been running PUGs for hours and we’ve already killed everything, it’s super easy. It’s not like a veteran trial, you’re just not used to it. Group up and you’ll see how easy it is. If you try to run group content solo, of course it will feel hard. It isn’t.
Note: Still, I’d rather have one trial and two new dungeons with a new quest zone if this event is replacing an expansion.

Re: Drop Rate for Coffees - Night Market
Day 1 of 49 isn't even finished yet.
for all the work I put in for all the other splinters, to be gated purely by bad RNG on dailies isn't very satisfying
This isn't giving longevity, just a bad vibe.

I never ever said to take it away...i said why not make it like overlands where there will be different levels of difficulty. You can go spend all your time killing endless adds/mobs on hard mode no problem but let us that dont want the hardmode type content to not be excluded.
If you enjoy it im happy for you

And then the big flagship event of the year, replacing new dungeons and new zones, is tailored to the top 1% of players?
Well said. I don't understand why lock out so many new players that are still levelling and trying to learn the game and lock out many of us vet players that enjoy groups but not such huge groups that are difficult to put together and extremely time consuming for an event that will eventually expire for a time.
