Re: Why isn't there a normal Night Market mode?
a normal difficulty option for the Night Market would be nice indeed.
maybe it could be added in the future

Why isn't there a normal Night Market mode?
If the Night Market is what we get in place of new dungeons then why is there just a difficult mode? Every dungeon and trial and arena have both normal and veteran modes. Why does the Night Market not have the same? Why was the typical way to present group content changed for this?
Only having a difficult mode excludes a lot of players from being able to participate. Adding a normal difficulty would help a lot more players be able to participate.

Re: Shattered Paths Signet Is Problematic
Or; bare with me…
Elemental Susceptibility is the problem it’s always been; since they added the re-occurring status effect procs to the free skill.

We all know how it will go, ZOS implements a new mythic which is overpowered just to get you to start playing and grinding. And afterwards with one of the next patches, it gets toned down for PVP's sake.

Re: Shattered Paths Signet Is Problematic
From what I have heard yeah that needs nerfing in PVP. (So... I guess I'm gonna try pulse ganking before it gets nerfed...)
ZOS has made a whole mechanic, battle spirit, but for some reason refuses to use it. They could leave it for PVE and nerf it in PVP by using something like "when battle spirit is active, these values are halved" or something. But, for some unknown reason, ZOS rarely relies on battle spirit.

Re: Guild spamming is back I guess

He was testing as this is a known problem with the guild. There's been posts for a few years (?) now about a guild using the API to spam invites. I didn't do a search to dig them out yet they are there. Last one was January/February time frame?
I'm aware. But if the issue at hand is to be taken seriously, it needs to be drumming up complaints organically. Going out of the way to make it happen could possibly assist in it getting ignored.
It won't get complaints organically, this has been going on for years. On here it's only a select few that care to make a post about it. Calling it out and spreading awareness.
I am not going out of my way to make it happen. They sit there with an addon that spams out invites to people it hasn't blacklisted. I merely showcase it.
Re: Shattered Paths Signet Is Problematic
Seems kinda meh to me.
I've been using various varieties of crushing shock pvp builds for years and its always been relatively effective.
Pulse gank build is basically winterborn + 1 other proc set, draugrkin, way of fire were the sets 2-3 years ago. They still work fine today. What supercharges it today is sublcassing acranist and sorc for two more beefy procs on light attack. LA into Crushing nets you six damage sources, two set procs, and a 60% or better chance for 5 status effects in one GCD.
Works great with shattered path, but also just as effective with Monomyth, or even Oakensoul.
When you have a build optimized for raw damage, the Signet does not do much in pvp. In my tests it also did not stand out from my favored alternatives; Fete, Malacath and, reluctantly, Monomyth. The problem lies in how it allows ineffective people to become effective, and how it makes low damage (as in raw stats) builds deal a lot of free and easy damage.
Combine this with another overpowered set, Serpent's Disdain, and you have a build that plays itself with no input on your behalf other than staying alive. Not even just Pulse Ganking; any build.
Nothing that adds free damage or does damage for you is healthy for pvp.

Re: Shattered Paths Signet Is Problematic
It's definitely part of the game to keep it moving and keep people grouping for PvE and trading mats and so forth. There's always pool and darts if you want the opposite experience, if you want real skilled PvP that stays the same year after year. Fantasy games aren't the same kind of thing. There just needs to be ways to keep old things viable. Crystal Slab and Asylum SnB and such should be strong enough to come through right now.
Re: Concerns About ESO’s Future Direction and Solo Player Experience
All these arguments about the [snip] market shouldn’t even exist.
- ZOS could simply add a normal mode as well, and the entire problem would be solved.
Of course, people would still find reasons to complain about the [snip] market, that’s normal.
But making it Hardcore-only for every single player is 100% wrong.
Why is this so hard to understand? ESO has always had a normal mode.
Why is that suddenly impossible?
No one is “against ZOS” for adding a Hardcore mode. Does anyone understand this point?
Players like me are against ZoS for removing the normal mode.
- I personally don’t like games with this level of difficulty. I simply don’t enjoy them.
- You love it? Great. Enjoy it.
But respect both sides. I respect yours, you should respect mine. It’s not complicated.
You love Hardcore? Perfect. You can enjoy the Market.
But why can’t I enjoy the Market too in a normal, solo-friendly experience, the same way ESO has always allowed?
- I don’t force anyone to play normal mode or help casual players in normal trials.
- So why are you "forcing me" to go play in Hardcore?
How is this even a real argument?
You don’t like normal trials? Fine — go Vet, go Vet HM, avoid casual groups. All good.
I don’t like the [snip] market being Hardcore-only.
What alternative do I have to enjoy the event?
Does anyone understand this?
How can you not?
Again:
If NO ONE, not even ZOS, forces Hardcore players to go help in normal trials…
Why are you (and ZOS) forcing normal casual/solo players to go play in Hard Mode? Just why?
I really, really understand all your points about “new group content, hardcore welcome, blah blah.”
It’s all 100% fine. I have absolutely no problem with that.
But....
Why do casual/normal/solo players have to go THAT hard? Why are we being pushed into difficulty we never asked for?
Why??
What on earth are you not understanding about this point?!
nobody is pushing you into anything you dont want - the night market was from the beginning laid out as a harder group zone and not as a solo content
ZOS: "Explore the Night Market:
Pledge to one of three factions and discover a world brimming with mystery and danger in ESO's first ever event zone. Encounter new characters, quests, and rewards in this challenging group-focused PvE world."
... challenging...group focused...
