Hello! This is a petition to add "No lollygagging" as a part of the new Solitude Guard houseguest's dialogue. Because this is the biggest missed opportunity in the history of the franchise. Thank you very much for voting yes!

Flaps and tassets are hideous. I don't know if the designers really like them, or if it's just a bad joke on us.

Every time we complain about them, they vow to make 10 more costumes/motifs with them.

Heavy armor+ crimson twilight+ unfathomable darkness+ malacath+ overtuned class such as stamden and stamcro. Add in malubeth and u cant die, but u have plenty dmg. Stupid.

When thinking about this costume today, i think i get why the skimpy options are so crap in eso..

It's actually much more common, even now, for video game fashion to be based on old school gender norms. And anyway, none of ESO's costumes are intrinsicly male or female, right? They're just costumes that anyone can wear. ESO gives you that freedom to make your own choice.

No one's born wearing a bikini or basketball shorts.

What do you mean by "look uninspiring" and "prefer same gender in relationships"? Not sure what the connection you're making is

I don't see where there's "courage" involved in making gender-specific outfits, which is in fact very mainstream and traditional. It actually takes more courage and defiance to allow male characters to wear dresses, because it still makes some people red in the face to see things like that. 50 years ago, we would be having the same conversation about women being allowed to wear pants, which is normal now, but used to be very controversial. Times change

And IDK what you mean about BioWare, because I definitely want to see Morrigan's dress on Alistair ... purely for the sake of fashion science. And Mass Effect had many gender neutral civilian outfits a la Star Trek

Razum-dar for forbidden reasons

We love Dizzying Swing! i use Dizzying Swing on my magplar and i use Dizzying Swing on my magsorc too. Even my Nuzhimeh use Dizzying Swing! Dizzying Swing for life! Dizzying Swing Dizzying Swing!!

So, I ended up buying this from my free monthly Crown reserves (so no loss). It actually looked good on one of my characters. However, as soon as you run, the crotch flap kinetics kick in and the damn thing starts flipping up in the air and slapping you in the face. Seriously ZOS?

This might sound strange and come as a surprise but some people are good players and some people are bad players. Like any other activity on planet earth.

Yes, but if you join as a group it's your responsibility to at least be semi-able to help the group. If I (DD) get grouped with another DD whose DPS isn't great, I am usually able to carry and really do not care or judge. But there are some fights with DPS checks (Zaan and Valkyn Skoria come to mind) where I may not be able to do so.

That said, I can imagine that many players likely don't *know* how well they're doing/not doing and what they're contributing to group DPS. When I first started playing I was doing 2.5k DPS at CP 220 or so. I didn't know about addons, rotations, gear, and helpful CP allocation. As long as the other DD in my group had semi-decent DPS, I didn't know that I was pulling such low DPS because the enemies were dying regardless. I had mismatched, poorly-traited gear, no monster helm, and I think I had all of my CP in Physical Weapons Expert, but I never light attacked, so it didn't really help. I don't think I even had a Mundus stone.

The bottom line is that the game does a shoddy job of teaching these things. Weapon damage vs. spell damage vs. physical penetration vs. spell critical etc. etc. How light attacks are calculated. Layering DoTs and using a spammable. When and why to use certain Mundus stones and gear traits; I could go on for a very long time. It all seems rather inconsequential when you see it for the first time (a glyph adds 174 weapon damage? That seems small and what does it even mean?). Even now, ZOS never seems to explain this, and it seems like it's generally up to the player base to figure this out on their own.

I think that if the only experiences that you have that show you that you're not doing great involve other players telling you you're awful, you're less likely to want to get good because it seems so elitist. I remember hitting 12kish and pugging a vet Darkshade II, not realizing that it's got some soft DPS checks. The tank got mad and insulted the crap out of us (the other DD didn't pull great DPS either, so the Netch fight was especially brutal), and all it did was put me on the defensive. While I tend to be team "it seems literally impossible to have your DPS that low" here -not in a disparaging way, I just cannot actually fathom that it's possible- I can see where many people here are coming from.

I like to help people as much as possible, so if you're PC/NA and you need anything at all -gear, potions, vet dungeon runs, food, help with your rotation- please feel free to message me here or in-game (@AeiaTheHuntress, yes that's an i in Aeia). @Raideen I would love to help you and your GF get monster sets and to help her out with DPS in a "safe" setting. I'll bring another guildie to the dungeons so there are no randos and no potential for any sort of judgment- we don't allow that sort of toxic elitism. Dunno what spec your GF uses (mag vs. stam), but either way, even a semi-decent monster set will boost her DPS enormously.
