We'll take a look at the instancing numbers. It's also possible folks haven't made their way into the zone yet. We are keeping a close eye on population numbers overall and per server and will continue to do so.

Please adjust this. From what I can see, instance population limits are the biggest negative thus far. IMO they need to be at least 3-4 times larger if not more. I’ve zoned in multiple times today to reset my instance and only one had a reasonable number of players, yet that was just in only one of the 3 areas. Most of the time the instances I’ve been in the zone chat is nonexistent and only a handful of other players are around.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom sorry if this was already answered, but once we get the necessary things to open the trial/dungeons, is it a permanent unlock on your account? Or would you have to go re-farm it Everytime you want to do the content?

There's no option for my vote, as my vote would be "I just all around love it!". I've run around in a group, and I've toyed around with it a bit solo. Either way, I enjoy it.

Group finder is the key to doing this. And when you join a group it will probably tell you the group is in another instance. You port to them and seemingly go nowhere but now you are in that group’s instance. Have fun!

Group finder

In my brief experience so far, bereft of response

2 things I don’t like:

1. Dying and being put on that stupid overlook. Should be able to respawn where you die with the exception of

2. Environmental damage- really don't care for this mechanic. Hard to discern where is safe or not. Whole damn place is light enough to see

I don't mind group activities like the vents in Galen or the dragons, because there are always other players around to help. But with this event, I hardly saw another player and there were none around at all when I was trying to do the first faction quest. This was at PCNA 'prime time' on the first day of the event.

It looks like I'm going to have zero chance of completing these activities in the evenings in my own timezone.

I just spent a couple hours going through the starter quest and picked up some random quests in the zones. And as a solo player, I appreciate ESO scaling up the difficulty. But this seems a bit heavy handed. I can solo some of these encounters, but it takes time and really seems pointless to even bother.

I'm not sure the rewards I've seen so far even look like they are worth this level of difficulty.

Feels like some major rebalancing is needed here. I need more incentive for this level of suckage and I don't see it. But I could be missing something besides the merchants since I am just starting.

Have y’all been sleeping under a rock or what’s going on?

This zone was advertised always, from the reveal in January to launch now, as a group zone.

Why are y’all surprised when it actually requires a group?

It was advertised as designed with groups in mind. They also mentioned being able to go in solo but it would be tough. Based on feedback, even regular size groups are having issues. This does not sound like "with groups in mind" but more with trials in mind.

Either way, it was also advertised as content for all based on the wording of the below quote from today's marketing on the website. I'm an explorer and treasure hunter but this zone is not for me....

Season’s Zero Night Market is now live, and Tamriel’s adventurers can begin their expeditions into a new-and-perilous part of Fargrave and Oblivion.

Vanishing for long periods of time, the Night Market is accessible only during a limited window, inspiring a rush of would-be explorers, adventurers, and treasure hunters. If that list includes you, the Night Market is now open during Season Zero from April 29 until June 17 and is free for all ESO players. Fear not, while access is only available during this limited-time window, you will have more opportunities to plunder explore the Night Market in future Seasons.

Yeah, now I'm done with this crap. I just spent 20 damn minutes grinding against the Hoardmother boss, with people randomly kiting in extra enemies (including healer enemies), but apparently I died at the wrong time, since I GOT NO REWARD AT ALL. This is without a doubt the WORST piece of content that's ever been thought up. Its somehow both boring as heck and makes me want to rip my damn hair out at the same time. Congratulations zos, you finally found something that's actually going to make me skip a monster set I wanted, because NOTHING is worth this.

CP 2.500 soloed anything overland and normal DLC dungeons (vhm base game).

I spent 2 hours in it just to complete the "faction main quest" and 2 dailies - my thumbs hurt!

It's too difficult in solo, to the point it is impossible to solo the various level of bosses.
Trash can be done, but some groups can still kill you; at least they are leashed.

"You can just tag along with other players" someone would say, except for the fact in 2 hours I've barely seen any players. Came across 4 maybe, but everyone doing its own thing.

It seems the only way is a premade group, otherwise it is a waste of health and time.
Also, I'd guess a guild group would be way better than a pug one, since there are millions of activities and achievements and anyone has different priorities on what to do.

In the end, I had really high hopes, but I don't know how much time I'll spend in it, after hurting my thumbs for 2 hours to gain 250 favors.

If only we could see a swarm of random players running around to join them... (Rip console servers?)

Silly me for believing to the "yeah, it's soloable" crowd.
