Heart's Day Duelist Outfit - request for matching weapon set
Now that we get a red mage outfit - can we please also get a matching weapon set with rapiers and such? I always wanted a nice rapier as a sword option!

My main problem with it is the fact that it cannot be blocked and cannot be roll dodged on top of the 70% snare and huge aoe leaving little counterplay. I think it's doing too much compared to other class mastery scripts and I'd rather see something like an increased cooldown or lower resource restore than just nuking it.
I remember doing a battleground, and it forced my character into a wall, and I had to sit there until the game ended. Couldn't take damage or cast abilities. They changed the old fear mechanic a long time ago for the same reason because it would make your character run away and cause you to get stuck. Just apply battlespirit to the script so it stuns instead of charm perhaps?
it can be "prepared" and healed up LMAO.
about undodgeable/unblockable stuns: streak, fossilize, javelin isn't an issue for you, but charm is?
learn to deal with it guys, if you lack of skill, then don't ask someone to make it easier for you.
If charm, javelin, and fossilize are identical, then why has warden become one of the most popular classes in Cyrodiil since the class mastery skill entered the game? Numbers don't lie. Before this charm skill went live, Templars were relegated to niche play or players who were adept at playing them, normally in a support role. DKs hardly ever use Fossilize as there are better tools in their kit. Neither were at the numbers that warden is now.
But as others said, you glossed over the biggest part: a massive radius AND can be combined with the biggest heal in the game AND can be combined with another buff when cast. Put 2-3 wardens together and the AOE gets to the point where you can not get out of it in time. Let me know when javelin and fossilize come with those options.
Re: You can rollback a feature of the game. You choose:
I can choose to not engage in sub-classing. I had no choice with AwA.
That heavily depends on the part of the game that you are playing.
Re: ZOS, Massive Spike in Ping/LAG in Recent Days - What Gives?

There is always a “request timed out” between the last two hops.
The lag you are experiencing is due in large part to Akamai Prolexic, a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) mitigation service and probably your ISP (to a lesser extent Zos netcode? Not totally convinced as I and many others have a low ping). My trace was routed through 2 Akamai Prolexic scrubbing centers (same location) and my ping went from 3ms to 35ms, that is a 12 fold difference. If you start with a high ping, it is going to get even higher through the Akamai Prolexic scrubbing centers, hence you are feeling it. There's not much you can do to bypass it. The high ping is a tradeoff for security. You can try using a VPN to find a better route to the destination (this sometimes helps, sometimes not). You can try contacting your service provider (ISP) and report the latency; they may be able to adjust mitigation settings if not under attack. So blame the individuals who propagate the DDoS attacks; they are the ones who are causing you lag, along with poor ISP. Try the Ookla test on the same PC, if it gives >75 ping, this may indicate ISP service instability; my ISP consistently shows a low ping. Hope you get this sorted out, good luck.
Thanks for taking the time to write that all out. My ping jumps from 20ms to 240 once it gets to that final hop. I’ve tried different VPN locations but they all give pretty bad results. I’m used to having 280-300 latency shown in-game but yesterday and today (basically since the event started) the lag spikes have been crazy.

Re: "Small Refine Method" AKA Time Wasting Pseudo Science Scam
I recall a very long time ago, way before the sticker book and curated items, getting the Burning Spellweave Inferno Staff at lvl 45 on a first run before ever knowing how desired it was, so of course I deconstructed it. Later, when I wanted to try out that build, I cannot remember how many times I ran that dungeon with groups until I got to the point I could solo it to try and get it to drop. Two weeks before item curation was announced, it finally dropped for me, long after I was really interested in the set any more, it had just become a thing to do in the game.
"Small Refine Method" AKA Time Wasting Pseudo Science Scam
Hey all, as the title says. A very long term malignant "trick" or "hack" has continually made its round and can be seen in chat as advice, some YouTube pushing it for clicks as a "helpful" tip. Or commenters in refinement videos telling YouTubers to do it lol. SO I am here to spread the word.
Just want to confirm here and now, that ive tested this many times in various ways over the years. BUT it was prior to making my own helpful content, so all I had was my typed word to a small group of people.
This time I did a mass scale refinement of 500,000 materials, half full 10,000 stacks (the maximum) and the other half in stacks of 10 (the minimum) with no difference. All the drop percentages were in upward or downward trends of less than 1% regardless of stack size, and no pattern which could crown 1 higher than the other in any scientific way.

Hope this helps some more people to save a lot of time and tedium.

I have done several today and only the FIRST one got a 'regular Undaunted Reward Box' extra.
Is this a bug or intended?
I think it's supposed to work that way, because I think it worked that way during previous Undaunted events.
You can only do Bogrul's dailies once a day on a given character, although if you already had a daily from a prior day that you hadn't turned in yet then you can turn in that daily and still get another one.
But I think you can get only 1 purple event coffer from Bolgrul per day, per account, per server, despite the fact that you can do his daily quest on each of your alts if they've joined the Undaunted.
That seems unfair, I can do a random daily group dungeon on every alt and get a box but not the solo daily?
I agree, and for players who have characters that aren't yet high-level enough, or equipped with sufficient gear and skills, to queue for dungeons and actually pull their own weight in the group, it seems like Bolgrul's daily delve quests may very well be their only reasonable option for actively participating in the event and earning rewards. (This assumes that they cannot queue for a dungeon and complete it without the group vote-kicking them for not being able to pull their weight, which is something that some PUGs might not hesitate to do.
It seems punishing enough to deny those players the opportunity to earn a golden event coffer and event tickets each day, but to limit them to just a single purple event coffer when other players can basically earn an unlimited number of purple event coffers by grinding dungeons all day seems kind of stingy. I mean, what would be the harm of letting those players earn a single purple event coffer on each character by doing Bolgrul's quest?

Re: Joining the Undaunted on an AD character can be agony
Maybe I am overlooking something, but why not ask a friend for a ride to the close wayshrine?
Re: Let us Devour our Companions (or use other corpse abilities on them)
I’ve always hated the fact that companions can “die” in battle and then come back to life afterwards or be resurrected in battle like a player. I think they should simply fall to their knee, with maybe a synergy similar to resurrection where we can get them back on their feet without using a soul gem, or then they just get up automatically after the fact. Hardly anything would be different in the mechanic, but it would just simply make more sense.
