Re: Suggestion for sorcerer dark magic skill line change in update 50
With Sorcerer focusing more on Conjuration and Destruction, I’d honestly like Dark Magic to be more Planar/Space/Lunar themed.
I’d love some Twin Moon Mysticism thrown into the skill line and lean into a “Skies and Outer Realms” narrative for the Sorcerer.
Red-hued Masser morphs and Blue-Grey Hued Secunda morphs. Themes of Duality and Phases.

Re: Official Feedback Thread For 2026 Seasons ESO Reveal
You once again skipped PvP entirely and even worse than that, you presented something from 3 months ago as news. What happened to all the promises of a new PvP Zone? That continuous betrayal of the PvP community really gets annoying, promises, promises but never anything done.
We did address this yesterday:There will be some PvP content shown. But to set expectations, the mid size PvP zone will not be showcased in this stream. We’re hoping to show that off when a little more work is done there.
However, we did showcase Veterancy that will be a new reward system specific to PvP and highlight class mastery. While we have talked about class mastery before, the point here was to highlight that it is coming in season zero and the intention for it.
Alright fair, I didn't catch that yesterday and went in with some hopes to seeing something new, as the new rewards were already announced before. I am sorry.

Character Slots Limits
Greetings,
I'm not sure if there is a specific category for this topic, so I'm just posting in General. As the title suggests I've a burning question about character slot limits.
Does ZOS have any plans to increase the character slot limit past the 20 maximum that exists now? If they did, would it need to be alongside another class release as in the past?
I personally have maxed my slots, and still would like more, at least 3 more but preferably 5 more. I don't think character slot additions need to be married to any class release. To the best of my recollection, at least once ZOS has added extra slots independent of any class release. I'm sure any future plans ZOS may have about adding or not any new classes won't be answered here. I did however want to get the question out, and post about my own desire for it. Hopefully some others will add their voices to, and ZOS will see the demand, and sell us some more character slots!

Re: Undaunted Daily Quests Issue
PoveusRonin wrote: »The quest for Undaunted Dailies should be to ONLY kill the boss. Not have the other bosses listed as part of the quest.
Earlier today I qued in for the Banished Cells 1, and of course kill Shadowrend is one of the bosses that needs to be killed along with the final boss. Unfortunately when I qued in, the group was already past Shadowrend and over midway through the dungeon. I dont know what happened, if someone was kicked, or left, or whatever. The point is, that I qued in normally to find a halfway already finished dungeon. I helped them finish it, because I assumed that it would still be complete so long as I killed the final boss. Nope! I have to re-que now because I was put in the unfortunate situation of being forced into a dungeon that was half way done... So the quest is not complete, and I cannot turn it in until I do it again. If I had known that, I honestly would have just left right then and there and re-qued. Since I have to do that anyways. This is kinda silly that it was designed that way, and inhibits people from actually helping complete a dungeon if something happens with the group.
Sad thing is you could (hopefully won't) queue for the dungeon, kill the boss you need and leave. This would then have the next person in line end up in the same spot you are in. They should change these to only require final boss to prevent issues like this from happening.
No Im going to make sure to complete it fully just for that reason. It already made me mad having to be in that situation, not going to let that happen to someone else.
Re: Can we please have some "down time"?
Respectfully, they absolutely get it. I feel like there are other people who aren’t.
The major complaint is “ZOS is giving uso
so many things and now I feel compelled to do them.”
THAT IS THE POINT. That’s exactly what the goal is.
Daddy Microsoft came down and asked each subsidiary to get a 30% profit margin (which is absurd), and like most Live-Service games, the idea is that you feel compelled to keep engaging with it and can never completely finish, so you keep engaging… and seeing all of the cool things that you can buy.
This is like complaining that airplanes can fly. Yes, that’s what they were designed to do. Likewise, this Tomes system and its challenges are intended to keep you playing and grinding. If you’re spending a lot of time doing the tasks and feel like you’re caught in a never-ending spiral to keep you locked in the game, then it’s working exactly as intended. There is research that has gone into these tactics. That’s why so many games nowadays use them. “Players having fun” is a secondary or tertiary concern at best, far behind “players are spending time with the system and opening their wallets.”
You just know some marketing suit was ecstatic seeing a “kill 1000 foes in 90 days” task go up and watching the whole playerbase grind it out in an evening. They know that they can get players to do anything without lifting a finger.
Could the company space things out and allow players more breathing room? Sure! That would be so nice to the players!
That would also risk losing the players to competitors who aren’t being nice. And then the population goes down. And then they fall behind. And then the profit margin goes don. And then they lose more players. And then the servers shut down.
Yes, so many people say that they will spend their money on the company that treats them well. Seems logical… but in practice the big publishers prefer twisting arms. It is seen as unprofitable except for the rare time it works - BG3 was an anomaly and left so many AAA devs confused how these player-first strategies ended up being so profitable. But for every BG3, you have hundreds of indies that pass silently in the night with little fanfare because they can’t make enough.
So what can you as an individual do? Don’t let their marketing tactics control you. Don’t expect a multibillion dollar company to suddenly grow a heart.

Re: Vengeance Test #4 Feedback Thread
We did this test based on your feedback about stalemates between healing versus damage output. How have your battles have been going?
Battles are fun, skills and actions feel responsive. Victories lean to the side that have superior numbers, but groups that coordinate and are more experienced have a large enough advantage that can tip the scales, even when slightly outnumbered. While the number of sources for pulls, stuns, lockdowns and other cc's has decreased their use has increased due lack of constant immunity present in standard Cyrodiil, which has brought a level of enjoyment as well.
If you hit stalemates, could you provide additional content around the fight?
Stalemates center around siege at breached walls and doors. Oils and catapults at any breach prevents any player from successfully making it through creating a need to create multiple breaches to take well defended keeps/outposts. Rarely do you get into an extended 1v1 that results in a stalemate, either one player out plays the other or one side starts to out number the other.
What day and time of day were you playing? (Day or Night)(NA/EU)
Mid Day into Evening - NA
What did the battle look like player wise? Where there a lot of players around, or a smaller group? Photos/Videos will help here
Most battles do have lots of players around, it's almost a requirement. There is a high number of new or returning players actively looking for groups so forming a group is easier with the larger pool of active players. Start out with announcing in guild and zone chat code for auto invite and players quickly join group, more players from zone at first than a drop off of those players and an increase of players joining from guild when approaching 2 hrs before regular guild hours. Small groups have needed to adapt to the balanced stat tables and do not survive long when poking larger groups. Small group encounters still present, more so outside primetime and would speculate voice coordination is the largest advantage any organized group has over other players. Large fights are still king, providing a the greatest enjoyment for players, win or lose. Our group can have up to 2-3 groups picking up players as they join, picking up from zone to recruit for guild, having multiple groups is a luxury afforded by having multiple players with raid leading experience in our guild, returning the player cap on groups sizes to 24 from the current 12 would greatly increase more independent groups with few group leads the ability to form larger groups and pick up players looking for group in zone. Any dev on an official account or personal can easily find a group by asking in zone and most groups use voice comms.

Do you have any general feedback?
Siege is overpowered, group sizes should be returned to 24. Players like Vengeance but wouldn't want to play it all the time. With the coming longer term Vengeance campaign, our guild may only play Vengeance 1-2 nights a week, with standard Cyrodiil 3-4 nights a week. If ques into faction lock continue to be as bad as they have been for the pervious months, almost all players will use the Vengeance campaign as a lobby while waiting the 1-2 hours it takes to que into Faction Lock Cyrodiil.
Vengeance is fun, but standard Cyrodiil is still the long term choice for most players I've talked to (20+ nightly). While the game preforms great; mount & movement speed, siege damage over performance, loss of set & build diversity, and the fact that some playstyles have been completely eliminated are the deciding factors. Bombers, permablock tanks, gankers, 1vXers, duo & trio groups, small tower groups and ballgroups have all but been eliminated in this game mode. I will continue to argue that many of these play styles are over tuned in standard Cyrodiil, particularly permablock tanks & ballgroups, but each of these playstyles bring an added value to the PvP experience. While gankers, duo/trio & small groups may find a way back in limited capacity in Vengeance. Bombers, permablock, 1vXers and ballgroups can not exist in a balanced stat environment and in some cases without proc sets. I still believe the sweet spot is a standard Cyrodiil where permablock, 1vX and ballgroups can not achieve the invincible status they currently achieve in standard Cyrodiil and are more vulnerable to overwhelming numbers. Bombers are already in a sweet spot with high risk/reward, still requiring lots of practice and timing to achieve a solid attack.

No corruption, but frame rates were dropping down to 2-12 fps when encounter opponents near/in keeps & outposts.

Noticeable frame drop during engagements late into primetime, on 4/21/26 between 10:10-10:50PM EST. Frame drop to 2-12 fps at times, and leader crashed during event, other players experienced the same issue, and frames dropped more the closer we got to opponents at keeps and outposts. After first event at 10:10pm est, noticeable "hiccups" of frame drops for the remainder of the night, briefly dropping to 24-30 fps for split sec.

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
I've never chased meta, don't rely on proc sets that help me get kills and have almost always been a hybrid dk on my main. I had a blast the first couple of Vengeance campaigns. Got the closest I'll probably ever be to being Empress, especially the one before they reintroduced Emp, I was #1 several days (ngl, still a bit salty about that because by the time the next one came around and Emp was active again, there just weren't enough people participating for AD and we would get stomped every day. And before anyone says switch alliances, I am and will always be AD for life, FTQ!!). Yesterday and today the whole map has been dominated by DC on PSNA. It's completely unbalanced population wise and it's just not fun at all anymore.
