Well interesting. I'm sure ZOS will not forget to compensate ESO+ subscribers for the time they are missing.

Re: Dear ZOS - Take Down The Servers
I'm all for fixing problems, but you are going to have a revolt on your hands if they shut the servers down for 1 week (not even going to touch the 2 week offer). And I will lead that revolt.
Re: Dungeon Experience for New Player
I also wanted to say, that as another person who resisted guilds, it's worth the time to find one that fits. There are guilds for:
There are also discords for Healer Haven, The Tank Club, and UESP, all of which are active and can be resources to find guilds.
Beginner or training guilds can be great if they have an open guild bank, too. That way, you can get furnishing plans, gear, recipes, exemplary gear, etc that other people don't want, don't want to sell, and are happy to give away. Check the rules, though. Most have a "give back as much worth as you take" and abusing it is really deplorable, and such thieves are remembered across guilds.
Every time I nee to change guilds, I dread it. But rarely has it gone badly. And even now I'll bump into someone I was in a guild with 5 years ago, and we'll end up in a random, and have a great time.
- Beginners and/or Training
- Trading
- Housing
- RP (many, for werewolves, vampires, or anything else)
- PvP
- Hard Core PvE
- LGBTQIA++
- Languages (like Spanish language on PS-NA)
- Based around times - I'm in a Daytime guild on PS-NA that only runs from about 11 am Eastern and around 6 PM Eastern, and I've seen a guild for Third Shift players.
- Social
- Older gamers - At mid-50's, I was one of the youngest in the guild.
- One of my alt accounts is in a guild called Introverts of Tamriel (although I can't remember right now if that's on NA or EU). There's one on PS-NA called Solo Players Club.
- There's one on PS-NA called Run It (I think) which is specifically to have a place for people who need to farm, or need to fill trials, or run pledges etc.
- Anything else someone can think of to create a public guild.

For years. Don't complain Subclass advocates, you got what most of us didn't want. The smart ones quit the game over it.
Now it's our turn to get our characters back, they're being refreshed bc of this awful Subclass disaster that will never be balanced as long as it exists. Add a dps cap in both PvE and PvP. There are armor caps, crit caps, ect. If you're wearing 3k crit resistance, you should understand there is entirely too much damage.
There were stat caps, both hard and soft, in beta and at launch. People complained and we lost them
. It would have been a much better way to address power creep all of these years...
Re: Dear ZOS - Take Down The Servers
PvE Vengeance is needed to solve the PvE performance issues.

Please ZOS please let me eat Bastian and Isobel if they fall in battle, I never liked them 👀🤪😉
Re: Golden Pursuit 'Prepare for the Night Market'
Well, you can debate whether these things actually prepare you for the Night Market or not – but I think the pet is cute, though I probably won't get it because I don't like group stuff. But that's my personal problem.
Here on the forum, though, I get the impression that there is only ever negativity.
People have different interests and tastes; I don't run around constantly complaining about why the world isn't tailored to my personal preferences. If I don't like something, I simply ignore it. And next time I'll be happy if there's something that exactly suits my taste.

Re: Can we please have some "down time"?
First ZOS tells me how to play to get rewards, now you're telling me I shouldn't care about those rewards.Reginald_leBlem wrote: »To OP:
Ironically not only is ZOS constantly telling us what to do,
now other players are telling us how to think, do and feel about that as well. 🙄
No, zos is not "telling you what to do".
You have the option to do specific tasks to earn free rewards. The rewards are all cosmetics, with a handful of cheap and readily available consumables. There is no penalty for not participating. Many people have opted to simply not participate because they realize the rewards won't impact their pvp build or their dungeon achievement runs and therefore don't care.
Same difference. Tired of being told what to do, while I just want to vent and share my view.

For me it's simple: Either I find a game/playstyle entertaining by itself, or I don't. If I don't, giving me some "reward" for doing it won't make it more entertaining.
I fully understand that rpgs in general have aspects that might not be the most interesting - like needing to grind for gold, or harvesting mats for crafting. As long as it's just one small thing inbetween things I actually find entertaining (character development/levelling/progression, story content, etc), it's fine. But if it feels like it's just chores, what am I even doing them for?
That's also the reason why the chores in ESO currently feel absolutely pointless to me: They send me out to harvest wood, so I harvest wood, and I get currency. And I might also sell the wood (that I already have masses of in my crafting bag anyway) for gold (which some people also already have masses of and don't really need, though I personally have a use for it through housing at least). But how does that contribute to developing my player character (both when it comes to skills and roleplay-wise)? How does it mean anything? It's just chores for currency, and nothing beyond that.
The more I think about it, it sometimes barely feels like "actually" playing the game, or doing something in Tamriel. People just run after their chores list, randomly shoot 1000 squirrels/hares/birds in Wrothgar to get it done, no matter if their character would actually do that roleplay-wise or have any reason for it. It doesn't give them any progress in their usual playstyle either. It's just about getting it done. Pointless.
Well, for me, cosmetics actually are a big part of how I enjoy the roleplaying aspects. Like I wore my Stirk Fellowship motif during the Writhing Wall event and as I quested in Solstice. During "her down time," where the quests didn't have anything to do with the Fellowship, I wore tropical cosmetics.
So those currencies and the like do play a part in how I conceive of my characters roleplay as well. I also have houses that have various narrative purposes. Like it's actually my Bastian that owns the castle in Blackwood not my character. In my roleplay he got it after reconnecting with his sister.
