I'm glad they are cutting down the daily stuff since it ate up a lot of time. I don't even like having to do crafting dailies on several characters each day, it was just too much. By the time I finished all the after work chores I no longer felt like playing the game or didn't have much time left.

None. Before they add new companions, they should improve the existing ones. The combat AI, how you can interact with them, etc.

The official information delivered in this forum post by development, also was - and still is - there on all our launchers, visible to everyone each time they start playing the game.

Not everyone uses the launcher. An in game announcement or notice about major changes would be nice.

And consoles don't have a launcher option at all.
Right now, the only thing under Announcements is the Deathmatch Weekend.
For Endeavors, all we see on console is "There are currently no Daily|Weekly Endeavors available. Please check back again later."
Same for Daily rewards: "Daily rewards are currently unavailable. Please check again later."

Nothing about the new systems, Tomes, Trade Bars, the fill-in Golden Pursuit, or that no, in fact, daily rewards and endeavors AREN'T coming back in their current forms.

People who know from the forums or Reddit have been telling other people what's up in guild and zone chat, but there is still a LOT of confusion on PS-NA.

@ZOS_Kevin, please pass on to the devs that we need a better way, IN GAME, to learn about these things. As others have said, Announcements are *right there.* I would argue this change is much more important than the deathmatch weekend.

The forums and Reddit are not a suitable substitute.

This is a great idea I'd love to see introduced with harder difficulty levels

Good point. Unlimited would indeed mean unlimited gold, too. But at least higher limit would be nice. Now it's basically just port to Skywatch, pickpocket outside, enter Skywatch and pickpocket half of the immediate surrounding and that's your daily limit already.

A monthly free resource dump to the craft bag would help. Maybe Bi-monthly, or at least more frequent than the free trial ESO+ comes along. It seems like they do that more and more rarely.

With all the skill styles, houses, companions, etc being bought in the store, ZoS has bragged about how much they bring in. Microsoft wouldn't have bought them if they weren't.

Big agree. I audibly laughed at @Thormar’s reply.
We’ve definitely got a few spam bots in this forum. 😂

I am not sure what they are thinking but I believe they are looking for steady income stream and I understand that. I am also convinced that they have lost a lot of money because their game content, login rewards, crown costs, etc are just not good or they are too expensive. This is all in US dollars, if you buy crowns on sale, then each crown is roughly $0.43 but if you buy them at full price, then each crown is roughly $0.71. That 10,000 crown house just cost you either $43 or $71. Too me that is a lot of money to pay for a digital property that could go away at any moment.

I would pay 15 to 20 per month for everything but to nickle and dime us to death in my opinion is just wrong. I feel like they are trying to use the WOW money revenue stream model by creating season passes but they were never as big as WOW but even WOW has lost players due to this nonsense.

I just wish they would go back to releasing the next story line/chapter or whatever it is called and let us buy it or not. I also wish they would really think about the quests they are putting in and try not to make them for the 10 year old. One of the things I hated about WOW was go do this quest over there and next go that spot of there but you are not done, now go this spot and then repeat it all.

I do not have the numbers but I believe that their average player base age is in the low to mid 40s or higher. Almost all of the guilds I am in are full of members who are 50+. So, I would think a little more thought would be put into it.

Everyone I have talked to has real major concerns of what is going to happen in April and a lot of them are considering quitting or at least dropping ESO+ and not getting this new pass.

Today coming home late evening, tired from work, I experienced a strange feeling I'd never experienced before. The realization that I didn't need to accomplish any endeavours, didn't need to log into ESO for a daily reward. Does anyone know what this feeling is called? It's sad it only lasted for about a month. I wish it could stay with me forever.

It does feel weird to not have any dailies to log in and do. It's only been one day and already my time in game is radically reduced.

I would say it’s the other way around.

Even when the meta was decent, BGs still suffered due to poorly structured queues, incoherent formats, nonsensical scoring, bizarre matchmaking, bugs and exploits, etc.

The BG system is the wheels, metagame balance is the steering column. Right now we've got 4 flat tires, 2 bent control arms, and the power steering went out.

True, It is very much broken.

Meta balance though is uniquely different than it ever was in the past and that’s down to mechanics .. not just that skill A can deal X damage vs skill B can deal Y so it lags behind. In the past that’s (essentially) what it was but this is a whole new level of mess.

Mechanics as well as combinations of mechanics have enabled scenarios that are more problematic and there’s no MMR structure that’s going to address that.

Unless we also talk about core combat mechanics as well as things like MMR you’re never going to get a generally positive subscription to BGs, I’m not saying you’ll please everyone but you can’t even get close to a reasonable middle ground with how things are now.

If Football was built whereby team A only had to run 20 yards to score whist team B had to run the full 50 then nobody would play football. No amount of scouting for top talent on the part of team B is going to compensate for the underlying design of the field. The overall problem in this example isn’t going to necessarily be whom is on team A or team B (matchmaking) but rather the field itself.

Matchmaking is certainly a factor and it can absolutely be improved but if we want BGs that anyone will want to play, when with improved matchmaking, we have to address the mechanics.
