Sure, if you are lucky enough for RNG to give you easy duplicates.
you get ten rerolls and even amongst the ones i didnt feel like doing, they're all trivial. i didnt wanna pick alchemy ingredients and got 3 for incursions instead, by accident really. Its not at all hard. Was similar last time also.
You get 5 a week. And for me, most of those have been rerolling one annoying task to another rather than something I'd want to do. Again, RNG.
I literally let out an expletive Tuesday morning (not in game chat which may violate some sort of rule, but IRL) when I saw 5 more gather tasks, and then getting gathering again and running out of rerolls.
Bruv, it doesnt get much more trivial than gathering mats. I dont know what to tell you at this point. We already have crafting dailies, dungeon dailies take longer than anything else and takes the most effort I guess of any of these challenges besides maybe keep taking in cyrodiil, which you can just wait for primetime to get or reroll that. Lorebooks hunting is the one I did once then avoided. The bosses have many people camping so thats trivial, the incursions, alik'r desert, trivial....
I could see if it said complete 4 chapters of IA, but this is literally tasks so easy a day one player could do almost all of it, especially with rerolling. The rng is well in your favor if you're complaining about getting log harvesting etc vs complete a trial. Thats another I personally avoid.
Even more, you are guaranteed to not get repeat ones so even if you had all trial challenges, youll get something so easy you could do it half asleep.
Of all the problems in the game this isn't one of them.
Re: U50 Spoiler Thread for Thieves Guild Questline
Hey all!
Love the enthusiasm here, but I do want to temper expectations a bit. Our main focus right now is still anything directly tied to Season 1 content.
That said, while we’re in there we are taking a look at a few related appearances where it makes sense and time allows. So it’s less “full zone makeover” and more “targeted cleanup and evaluation.”
No promises on any specific requests just yet, but it’s definitely feedback we’ve seen and are discussing. Keep it coming 😄

Re: Vampire Rework?
Vamp needs similar treatment like Werewolf.
Let us extend the transformation duration by using skills or by feeding on enemies, or like the new idea, the form drains ultimate instead of spending it all and we can regen it to extend the duration.
Obviously this should come with the rebalancing of the bonuses the form brings. (ie less stats. better damage to healing ratio?)
Just was Werwolf gets stamina related bonuses, so should Vamp get magicka related ones.

Re: The game needs things to do.
Slavery? You are serious?
If you want the ability to take npcs as slaves, then I would demand that that action triggers you as a valid pvp target, and I can hunt you down and rescue the slaves. And if I kill you, I take your gold. All of it.
But seriously, it’s bad enough I can’t liberate the enslaved npcs already in the game.
And brothels?! Another not-at-all dodgy suggestion. Hey, why not have it so you can kidnap npcs and then force them into brothels? Jesus wept.
Yes, aware that this post might get me moderated/banned, but the idea that exploitation should be in the game for fun disgusts and angers me.

Re: U50 Bug Reports for Player Experience Improvements
Reposting from U50 PTS: List of errors with the with motif sourcing tooltips
First, why is this information found only in the tooltip for the Crown Store version of the motif? This information should be added to all the tooltips, not just the ones for the Crown version.
Second, here's a list of errors in the tooltips that I see on the PTS, which are easy to spot if you just compare the tooltip text with the achievement text for that motif. The screenshots below contain both the new U50 tooltip text, as well as the achievement text for comparison:
It's quite a long list. Most of these errors can be spotted simply by comparing your new tooltip text with the sourcing info that already exists in the achievements system. Though there are a few cases (e.g., Sul-Xan and Syrabanic Marine) where the achievement text is wrong and the new U50 tooltip is right.

- You copy-pasted the Dremora tooltip for Xivkyn; also, the achievement text could use some updating since the IC treasure room chests were replaced by treasure room merchants:
- Mercenary comes from any of the blue coffers from ANY of the three pledge givers, not just Maj... this is also a case where the achievement text could also use a bit of updating, since the Undaunted Chests were replaced by blue vendor coffers years ago
- AD/DC/EP are missing sourcing info in the tooltip
- Soul Shriven is missing sourcing info (but there's also no Crown version, so maybe that's why you didn't bother to add it?)
- Dro m'Athra comes from trial coffers, not from boss kill
- Why does Dark Brotherhood mention "various zones"? The sacraments are not the DB dailies that sends you out to various zones.
- The text for Celestial is confusing. "Serpent Trial"? I haven't heard people call Sanctum by that name in like 10 years. Just say that it comes from the weekly coffers of Craglorn trials... you know, like what the achievement says.
- Missing sourcing text for Hollowjack (but there's also no Crown version, so maybe that's why you didn't bother to add it?)
- Telvanni/Hlaalu/Redoran: Are you sure about that "Thieves Trove" part? The achievement makes no mention of troves, and, in the 9 years since the release of this chapter, I have never gotten one of those motifs from a Thieves Trove. Maybe the drop rate from troves is just extremely low, or maybe the bit about the troves is wrong.
- Worm Cult: No source info
- Ancestral Nord/Orc/HighElf/Reach/Akaviri: No source info (Ancestral Breton has source info, though)
- Thorn Legion / Hazardous Alchemy: No mention of "final boss" (all other dungeon motifs say "final boss")
- House Hexos: No source info
- Sul-Xan and Syrabanic Marine: Your tooltip is correct! These are a few of the rare cases where the achievement text is the one that's wrong.
- Ancient Daedric. Um. "Template"? LOL
- Yffre's Will: Missing info

Re: A social issue people are reluctant to bring up
Why are we talking about DPS in a thread about permanent bans for toxicity? Are players making new accounts to target and flame low-DPS characters or something? I highly doubt that.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for New Item Sets
MashmalloMan wrote: »YandereGirlfriend wrote: »The decision to nerf the most popular Crit Resistance sets without touching Crit Damage is a truly bizarre choice.
The playing field was already tilted wildly in favor of Crit Damage and you have now made the situation even worse. Which is the precise opposite of what most PvP folk have been asking for over the last many patch cycles.
Also, ZOS: where is the Crit Resistance Mundus? Why is Sturdy Horn still unusable and costing a crazily high 250 ult? Can we please un-nerf Impen as a trait? How about Major Enervation as a debuff? Please toss folk a bone to combat the Crit Damage inflation we have experienced over the last several years.
While I agree that they should look at crit damage and crit resist, a big factor in that is subclassing which will inevitably be toned down as class refreshes complete and less people stack the 10~12% from 3 lines. It's already happening with DK refresh since Ardent and Draconic don't have Crit Damage, but should inflate as pure classing becomes more and more popular. Hell I'd be happy if some classes move away from that bonus entirely, I'm not sure why they gave it to DK in the first place, aside from a last minute PVE buff, but here we are, 5/7 classes with crit damage.
Also, their "nerf" didn't do much really. Impreg was always a joke, 5pc static sets like that have been largely underwhelming for 10 years now. We don't use Hunding's Rage, Fortified Brass, etc for a reason.
Rallying Cry is arguably the most popular option, so let's use that as an example:
- 2 piece = 657 Critical Chance
- 3 piece = 1096 Magicka -> 424 Critical Resist
- 4 piece = 657 Critical Chance -> 129 W/S Damage
- 5 piece = 300 W/S Damage + 1650 Critical Resist -> 986 Critical Resist
986 + 424 = 1410
1650 - 1410 = 240
240 / 66 = 3.6%
Effectively you lose 1.1k Magicka which wasn't useful to roughly half the playerbase, and -3.6% crit resist going from +25% to +21.4%, practically nothing, and since RC still provides one of, if not the best 5pc back bar buff you can find, it's still a staple. Not to mention it gives it in aoe for a minor reduction in potency.
Also, should be mentioned that the -3.6% from RC is potentially offset by all the sets that just had +424 (6.4%) Crit Resist added in if you happened to use them too.
This whole thing is inconsequential to say the least, it doesn't read as a balancing pass we need to read into, it reads as "these sets had bonuses that didn't match their 5 piece, use case, or collection, so we adjusted them to make more sense."
If one day they decide that Crit Resist on their spread sheet should be 3x that of a Crit Chance line instead of roughly 2.2x, then all of these sets would be buffed at the same time which would address your feedback.
It is more the principle of the thing that is aggravating.
Like Crit Damage already massively overshadows all available sources of Crit Resistance, and has for years, but rather than beginning to whittle-down that gap we are instead increasing it, albeit in a minor way.
Beyond the sets, my pet gripe is the fact that we still have 2x completely redundant Mundus stones in the +WD and +SD stones, given that they hybridized aeons ago. Having such glaring levers to pull for helping to balance-out the ratio between the two stats and yet refusing to pull them for years is just an inexplicable choice.
Ditto for Sturdy Horn, which, along with Bolstering Darkness, has got to be one of the bottom-two least used ultimates in all of ESO. But if you remove the Max Stats and cut the cost to 100 or 125 then we are absolutely cooking with an amazing "new" defensive ult.
So many easy tweaks that could be made but that... simply aren't.
