Re: REFRESH NECROMANCER IN 2026 !
When I roleplay my Necro, he's clearly overpowered; frankly I'm surprised this thread is asking for buffs, not a nerf.

2026 Anniversary Event
Must say this is the first year since we have had this event I can say I’m glad it’s over. Rewards were aweful and it was mostly inventory management with trash style pages and too many furnishings. Did get a good little stock of a few mats but overall it was the worst Jubilee yet by far and probably won’t be looking forward to it anymore.

Re: The game needs things to do.
Not the op but while I love this game there are a few things from other games I desperately want to see in ESO in some capacity:Is there something you are looking for in particular? Like some examples from other games you have played would be helpful. Just so we can send things to the right places.
- New Game+/Quest Reset Shrine/Worldstate Toggle-a lot of other mmos offer this and I have posted at length about wanting to see old quest zones or do a refresher on them on my main or a character who has unique race/class/etc dialogue options.
- Screenshot/Cinematic Mode-Infinity Nikki ruined other games for me in this regard with it's gorgeous and easy to use screenshot support mode that offers great camera controls (more zoom in/out and camera height adjustment options), day/night/weather cycle changes/adjustments, lighting adjustments, the ability to hide npcs and other players when taking screenshots, the ability to pause an animated pose/emote mid action to not guess on hitting that perfect screenshot moment, and ways to share fashion/outfit presaves/strings with other players so they can quickly copy them and use them too. Would be huge for the fashion/rp community.
- Mount fashion-Diablo 4's stable letting you swap saddles for mounts of a same type (ie horse for horse) and giving you trophies (cosmetic bags, flags, tokens, and other items that can adorn your mount) could be an awesome and natural addition to eso's awesome fashion systems in game and give us new opportunities to customize our characters.
- More interactions with animals and critters in the world including our noncombat pets-many games could reference for this but it would be cool to do emotes with pets or mounts or even more of the domesticated animals around the world.
- Swimming underwater-I've been disappointed since beta we couldn't swim underwater and hope it gets added eventually.
I really like a lot of the upcoming things this year-favors, rumors, sage's vault, naval battles, etc and would also like to see more explorations of adventuring in different terrains and their hazards and excitement, so I hope there is more of that planned too.
Quoting this because some of these are my main wants as well. In order from most desired to least desired (but still desired):
1 - The ability to reset quests. Just let me choose to reset a quest in the zone guide menu. Won’t ruin anyone’s immersion that way.
2 - A photo mode. I’m a huge fan of low to the ground photography but the vertical slider just isn’t enough. Plus having to change settings (which breaks my emote and refocuses the camera) to change where the camera is. Plus if an emote or momento has a lot of movement, can be hard to get the photo at the right time… Also would love built-in settings like ReShade for photo mode. Where Winds Meet does this really well, with different slider options and even the ability to add lighting wherever.
3 - Training rooms/repeatable tutorials for PvP, solo, tanking, healing, and dpsing. This would do wonders for raising the floor as truly the problem is the knowledge gap.
4 - Multiplayer questing improvements. Right now, any player can progress the quest. Usually this happens when I’m not done reading/listening to dialogue yet. I avoid questing with friends because of how frustrating it is.
Edit: I knew I was missing something… realized immediately after posting.
Meaningful event game modes. Not more daily quests. Game modes. Like snowball fights for New Life, a scary maze/obstacle course for Witches Festival, a party room or cake decorating for Anniversary… these would be alternative ways of getting bars + event boxes and maybe even be something to look forward to every year.

Re: Should Female Werewolves Have Small Chest Bumps?

I'm sorry, what grade were we supposed to learn this? I must of missed the lesson on gender specific, fictional, human and animal hybrid, transformations and/or curses.
- They never claimed to be a native English speaker, if they weren't, maybe you should give them the benefit of the doubt.
- You couldn't even bother to capitalize or end your sentences with a period, yet thought you had the authority to randomly critique someones English?
I'm with OP, in passing I found it pretty difficult to tell the difference between the male and female werewolves and a little adjustment here, even less so than the example given from Skyrim, could go a long way in helping with that. I think there's nothing wrong with more feminine attributes and it has nothing to do with sexualizing them. I don't really see why they'd lose their chest when they transform, I could see the muscle reducing it, but it would still be there.
Best case scenario, although I know this realistically can't happen, at least not in the near future, would be for the sliders you used during character creation to have a similar influence on how your WW appears. Eg. if you increased/decreased the bust, the same would be true for your WW but within the paramaters of what is possible for that form.
Re: The game needs things to do.
First, thanks for the feedback. A bit of follow up before asking a question. We are adding some new things for folks to do. Dynamic Encounters (Currently on PTS), Favors (Currently on PTS), Rumors (Coming later this year), Sages Vault (coming later this year) and our events are aimed to give more things to do. We are trying to find a right balance for events, since we have heard feedback around having too many.
It sounds like you are looking for more things for players to do based on their agency, rather than activities we have set up in-game. But please correct me if I am wrong. Just trying to make sure the request is understood.
Is there something you are looking for in particular? Like some examples from other games you have played would be helpful. Just so we can send things to the right places.
In GTA V Online, there are businesses; they could be made similar to The Elder Scrolls Online.
For example,
Players could own sawmills and sell the wood they obtain for gold or keep it to craft items.
There are many types of businesses that could be added to the world:
Jewelry stores, taverns, farms, etc.
Players could buy these properties with gold and crowns, just like houses.
Guild halls could also be added as properties available for purchase in exchange for gold and crowns.
I believe that what keeps a game alive is the things players can do within the game world.
Another thing they could add would be buildings where players can spend their gold.
For example,
In GTA V Online, there are adult clubs.
The Witcher 3 also has adult clubs.
I often play that game just to visit them.

Re: The game needs things to do.
I'm sure a game mechanic to kidnap random npcs to sell them to pirates (or directly to House Dres), or to force them to work in your own mining business (or similar) will not cause any scandal at all.

Re: BG survival tips
Sometimes your team really is hopeless because you have anywhere from 2 to 4 players that just give up and sit in spawn or are not built correctly for PvP. Some general tips though:
1) Build correctly. You should almost always have a heavy reinforced chest piece. Chest piece provides the most armor, so making it heavy is the most efficient. Conversely, belt and hands provide the least armor (with belts being the least), so light armor pieces should go here. As a rule of thumb, any pieces of heavy should be reinforced, any pieces of medium or light should be impenetrable. You can change these traits at your discretion but generally speaking, this is the way to get the most defense unless you find yourself blocking a lot. Make sure you have 30k or more health, unless you've got a really good reason not to. Sometimes, the best way to get health isn't necessarily to put more points into health; it's to slot more pieces of heavy armor. Make sure you have prismatic enchants on all of your armor. Yes, it's expensive, but it is so much more efficient and stat dense to do this unless you have a really good reason not to.
2) Play around your team. Even if they're really bad and dying over and over, you have to play around them in games where the other team is playing together. Toss them heals, peel for them (i.e., throw out a stun if they're taking pressure), try to combo on their ultimates. Look for the player on your team that has the most kills or is doing the most damage and stick to them like glue.
3) If you're in 8v8s, the power up sigils respawn every 3 minutes. That means that after the first fight, the sigils will usually respawn at about 11:45 remaining in the BG. Keep a mental note of when you picked up a sigil and go back right after 3 minutes to grab it as soon as it respawns. Sigils are incredibly powerful and can help you fight a more coordinated team.
4) Most stuns in the game have a counter and can be blocked or dodged. The only exceptions to this are Streak, Fear (any source), and the Warden Charm class script. DKs fossilize can be dodged, although it is very difficult to do so as it has a very difficult to see animation. PvP is all about learning when to dodge and block. Most of the defense during a fight is not passive defense like resistance, hots, or impen. For good players, the vast majority of their defense comes from rolling, blocking, and properly timed damage shields. Taking 0 damage from dodging is, literally, infinitely better than any amount of resistance. Dodge roll or block cancel your heals.
5) Movement is king. This is something that cannot really be taught, but you need to always position yourself in a way that contribute to winning the fight. Don't back yourself in a corner. Don't retreat back into a wide open space where the enemy team can just pepper you from range while running away. Kite around objects, double back around corners, use Streak if you have it, constantly use your snare removal. If you don't have a snare removal skill, you are throwing.

Re: Please give us "undershirts" or "camisole" Body Markings in multiple colors
I like the idea of tights, too! I hadn't thought beyond the chest!
The Swift-Wind Sailor costume is what got me thinking and I bought it even though I knew my characters wouldn't wear it without an undergarment. Skins could provide these without disrupting our outfits or costumes, and add a new dimension to our fashion options!
I ended up making a male Warden which was the only class I didn't have, and plan to just use him to run around being all Piratey just for fun. He is also going to become my "dig up surveys and maps" character.
