Second place for me is every dungeon boss being hm too. I prefer only the final.

Re: Overland Content Feedback Thread
spartaxoxo wrote: »Two copies of the same enemy at the same spot and players can only interact with one sounds way more immersion breaking than occasionally running into who is hitting harder than you in a multiplayer setting, imo. Then again, because this isn't a single player game, I don't expect to always be the strongest on the map.
They’re not standing in the same spot during combat—mobs and players move constantly. As mentioned earlier, the alternate copy only appears when a player from a different difficulty tier approaches.
Ghost-phased figures don’t break immersion. If anything, they enhance it—just look at how well it works in Souls games.
And if that’s a dealbreaker for your immersion, let’s be honest: ESO already breaks it in far more jarring ways. Players chatting with NPCs you can’t see, enemies you just killed respawning like nothing happened, heroic actions that leave zero impact on the world… 😉
This isn’t Mass Effect. The immersion ship sailed long ago—and it wasn’t even a lore-friendly ship. 😉
The souls games I have played had other players be ghosts not enemies.
I don't recall ever seeing a player chatting with an NPC I couldn't see. Respawning enemies are a normal part of games. Heroic actions do leave an impact narratively and sometimes we even get to see it, which is my favorite.
The immersion ship is very much still here. And the story is the most popular piece of content in the game.
Re: Joining the Undaunted on an AD character can be agony
SeaGtGruff wrote: »When I said "quest-blocked," I said "blocked" rather than "locked" because I was aware that you are not "locked out" of getting into and through those areas. But they are a right royal pain in the posterior to ride through on a lowbie character who doesn't have a lot of awesome skills or high-level gear yet. I meant "blocked" as in hostile NPCs or Daedric mobs trying to get in your way. You can get past them, but riding from Vulkhel Guard to The Banished Cells isn't a "cake walk" like riding from Daggerfall to Spindleclutch or from Davon's Watch to Fungal Grotto (and "cake walk" is a deliberate exaggeration).
I realize that in a normal situation an AD character would likely have played their way through Auridon from south to north and discovered all of the wayshrines by the time they were able to join the Undaunted, but the AD characters I was doing this on haven't played through Auridon yet, and got to their current levels primarily by doing daily crafting writs.
Anyway, it's enough to make me feel sorry for AD players and what they have to go through-- until I go to Cyrodiil, and then I'm not sorry for them anymore.
There's literally nothing hard about riding on a road for 98% of the trip to the northern wayshrine, you are not required to fight through any mobs, and there is nothing that could possibly block your way, or one shot you. You're making something out of nothing. Not to mention, riding to Spindleclutch is actually "worse" for a new player, that dungeon is in the middle of a lot more mobs you'd run into than in Auridon, lots of werewolves in that area. Is this just an AD hate post? None of it makes sense.
Re: PTS Update 48 - Feedback Thread for New Item Sets
What is this set for?
I mean, ignoring the incorrect tooltip, it's 8 meters, not 0 meters. it's also normal stats, not the over inflated stats in the PTS patch notes.
This gives regen when something dies to people near the dead thing. I don't know how many people, let's assume 6.
So this is a set for group play to help with clearing trash via sustain.
Who is asking for a set to do this?
Who looks at the sets run by groups currently and thinks "yes, they are going to swap one of those sets for this one"
You have to run it on a healer support, because it's got garbage stats. max stam, max mag, max health. so most of those stats are useless.
This set has no reason to exist, is has no situation where anyone should run it. Luckily we won't have to collect or decon it since it's a crafted set and no one will ever make it outside of a meme or just not understanding how to press X for synergies.
Beyond pointless
I mean, it's one thing for Brian Wheeler to tell us that old item sets don't need buffing because apparantly they are fine, even though we all know they are not, but now we have yet another set which is completely, and utterly, useless.

Soul reapers
Are the soul reapers broken since update 47? Sorry if I missed a thread talking about it. I used to find some while turning in my writs daily but I haven’t seen any since update 47 dropped. (Xbox NA)
Re: Soul reapers
Judging by this thread, other players are noticing the same, but ZOS has yet to comment.

I don't see why people are confused by ZOS.... doing what they've told us they were going to do...
Because they keep asking us whether Vengeance is fun, whether we like the simplified skills, etc. I don't see no reason to ask whether players enjoy a setup that is supposed to focus exclusively on technical issues. If this is purely a performance testing setup, then it doesn't matter at all whether it is fun or not, since it will cease to exist once problems are solved.
That's very true. It will also be less maintenance and cheaper to balance without affecting PvE/PvErs, which is their main source of income.
It's a fact that per capita PvP players spend more on the game than any other subset of the ESO community. PvP is all of PvE plus Cyrodiil.
I'd bet on average PvPers spend the least on the game. Anyone who plays in a comped group can attest to this situation: quite a bit of the signups are only there for the social aspect, and do nothing else ESO related: they don;t bother feeding mounts, half the time dont even have any potions, never grinded the needed gear, etc. Some of them don't even have ESO plus.
It's really the only subset of the community that you can do so little and still be a functional, even powerful, player (because ZOS's group mechanics are so bad and busted they can carry people who are unserious about the game). Besides, it's obvious that housing enthusiasts and role-players on average will almost by definition invest more time, effort, and money.
If PvPers were the money train of ESO, then ZOS would not feel the need to have these Vengeance tests in the first place.
From my side I would say that's the case now but it didn't used to be, pre-housing the players spending the most on crowns were all PVPers to my knowlege, I know multiple players who dropped $1k trying to get the Shadow rider senche. Mostly pvpers really cared about their appearance and mounts because they are shown off to other players in combat.
A pve boss isn't going to compliment you on your outfit.
Also take into account that a large % of items are not even possible to be used in PVP like housing, pets and memento's. Even emotes cannot easily be used (due to combat interruption) so this cuts out a large market for PVPers.
If there was pvp enabled housing to make your own bg's or at the least a 'pvp' based dummy for a house which simulated players with various levels of health and resists or a damage simulation dummy for healing and tanking I'm sure a lot of pvpers would engage with this content.
Re: New PvP Campaign
Compete against other players for dominance over Cyrodiil and help us test potentially new changes and rulesets during September’s Vengeance PvP campaign.
See, it's still just a test!

Re: Best queued dungeon group EVER!
Bad runs happen from time to time, but I remember better the exceptionally good ones. Sometimes getting a toxic player in a pug can brighten my day too. One time there was this dd in a vet CoA2; it’s a pretty long dungeon and smth triggered them just before the final boss. They began to scream at me to stop using my pvp skills for tanking. It was so hilarious that none of us bothered to explain that this is how I buff their damage. That happened some years ago, but it still makes me chuckle.
