Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
So, how long until the apology tour starts for this fiasco? The quest starter doesn't work if you go to the entrance where the map says to go. You can pick up the quest, but no quest marker on the guy, the conversation doesn't progress no matter what you do. Was this written by AI like a lot of other Microsoft owned slop? Come on. What gives?
What is the point in a zone you can't progress solo? What is the point in the wasted dev time to create something very few of your players will be able to enjoy? Why do I pay for ESO plus for this? You claim to be listening to your players, but the same complaints that came up during PTS are coming up now. I don't see much listening going on.

Re: What are those helm and shoulders in Golden Pursuits?
Okay but if those are just style pages, then what is the point of the rewards for the pursuits when they are just going to make them as drops anyways for the Night Market? I cant even sell it because it is character bound on pickup...
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
Same for me as many others wrote. Was in there for 6 hours, and only one period of about 10 minutes was like the night market I was waiting for. I finally happened to find some people, and I killed a lot of mobs with them, and even one brazen boss. THAT was fun! Then I died and never again found other people in a greater number. So I died and died and died.
I dont't understand how the scaling/phasing of the instances was programmed but there should be some hint for us where it is crowded and where to go. Nearly everyone seemed to be there yesterday. But every time I opened the doors to one of the factions it was a ghost zone. Perhaps there WAS a group of players fighting in every zone. But if I have no clue how to find them I won't continue. I am not the one yelling "lfg", and I hate to group with random without voicechat. I thought it would be like with dolmens: you just go in there, find a zerg, and with some luck can do some quests parallel.

Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
After playing a few hours I have some thoughts.
First I tried soloing, but that was taking forever and I soon realized I can get quests done much faster by just dying, getting to the Oasis, then leaping towards my next objective. I don't know if it's a bug or feature, but you can complete quest objectives while still dead. So that allowed me to solo some quests.
I do not know why but this was that best feedback that I read so far on the topic. 10/10
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
It's nightmarishly challenging. I actually have to use my food buff and potions to even have a chance of making it. I am one of the ones who have been asking for harder overland and this definitely qualifies. At first, I think I had a bit of sticker shock, going from traditional overland to something that reminds me of my first few times trying to run through Veteran Maelstrom Arena.
I'm not sure if it was exactly what I had in mind for harder overland, but then again, I'm still not sure what I wanted for harder overland.
Overall, it's a fun and exhilarating challenge. Thank you ZoS.
Your post made me think, is the new challenge mode going to affect this zone? Complaints about it being too hard by a lot of players, imagine it in Vest. mode.
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person with a strong negative opinion of the Night Market.
Personally, I'm stuck in a difficult place between wanting the rewards before they're taken away and not wanting to subject myself to the impossible-to-solo content. At one point, I got stuck deep in the Skittering Precinct and didn't want to quit back to the plaza because there was a quest objective right near me surrounded by enemies. Bless my guild, because they formed a full 12-player group to come rescue me; unfortunately, it was a mess of people at different stages in the introductory quests struggling to figure out what they were supposed to do, some guy saying that my group marker was invisible and that he had no idea where I was, one or two people in completely different districts, and one or two others barking conflicting orders the entire time - the group quickly crumbled because nobody knew what they were supposed to do.
At some point, I realized that I had spent ~6 hours shambling around the zone, constantly questioning why that thing was lighting up or those things were exploding, not having any sense of direction, and having my resources and health drained from 100% to 0% in 2.5 seconds with no discernible cause.
My Impression: Who thought this was a good idea? Who designed this? This is not as player-accessible as they made it sound. My guildmates and I joked that the Night Market was actually set in Ohio (the Ohio meme).

Re: Night Market Opinion Poll
It was fun with the premade group and was fun with random groups.
Also it was fun solo (soft-grouped) when some random players ran around.
This night I ressed more people then for a month in vet trials
Roaming dune ripper is awesome!
The thing I don't like is consuming the keys to obtain other ones. It will turn out grindy fast, I guess

The first time it happened I just Googled it and discovered what it was about. The player isn't being reported or actioned for anything. It's just informing them why they were disconnected and how to prevent it.
While it seems to me that it’s meant to be informative, this use of the term “messaging” is very technical. The message assumes that players will know that technical meaning, which many do not.
Explanatory text must be clear to be successful. When it results in confusion, especially when that means people have to resort to searching online or asking others, that signals the messaging should be clarified.
Since they include an example (“e.g. spamming”), they could expand on that to clarify that add-ons or lag may also be the source of the “messaging.” Listing only one player-sourced culprit implies the blame is on the player, and saying “please avoid” further implies the cause is within the player’s control.
A message such as “You have been dropped for excessive messaging. This may be due to spamming chat, add-on errors, or high latency.” would be more informative and clearer.
