And it's not any one person, it's a sentiment being expressed many places. I have no idea where this is coming from but quarter 1 has literally not been solo content for like 10 years.
It really shows the power of ideas when they spread through groups.
Anyway for anyone worried about this, remember much of the rest of the year will be solo friendly content. And that quarter 1 has always been dungeons. I hope the sage's vault is as fun as it sounds on paper.
Solo player here. I watched the stream and read up on the website and already knew going in was going to be a choice. All I wanted was the house but was upset for a brief moment about the 3 rooms being closed.
I tried tagging around with a group but got killed by the roaming boss. Went back into try the sneak route to get the quests done (which I did). and made the decision I am not geared for this type of content and it doesn't bother me the slightest.
I'm grateful they have content for the group player in mind. Just wish the I was better equip'd.
I still have IA which I don't mind doing with my companion. And not everything has to be geared toward the solo player.

Yes, it's satire, the form of which is hyperbole to mock the typical balancing response to issues like this. I don't expect them to nerf everything on the list, nor do I want it. I do expect a chunk of them to get gutted for no real reason to address what I know of mostly as a pvp issue (like entire bg teams almost fully dropping because of the oppressiveness of a couple people with this mythic). I haven't seen anything pve side that bothers me, but then I'm not score chasing or anything either.
This mythic makes pvp into a meat grinder for the inexperienced to an absurd point even in comparison to before. Maybe I'm inexperienced as well, as it makes me spend the majority of my time on the defensive.
If the purpose is to drive people to the new vengeance campaign, I think they nailed the first half (getting people to drop other pvp modes). I am not sure the result is going to be what was planned in the long run though.
Edit:
Oh... and ele sus.. how could i forget that one. That definitely is going on the list, NERF DESTRO STAFF
Good ragebait, i almost started commenting lol
Re: Official Night Market Feedback Thread
I am enjoying the Night Market. It's very easy to find groups to join. I love the urgency and chaos, running around with eleven other strangers is fun. There is nowhere safe to stand, everywhere you look there are groups waiting to kill you!
I don't think I've felt this level of urgency in ESO since way back before One Tamriel when zones were hard leveled. Being level 30 and entering a level 40 zone, knowing everything can kill you if you're not careful, was a rush.
But, for me, after about an hour of this I need to get off the merry go-round and go do something else.
For me, combat is only a part of why I like computer games. And without quests, stories, dialogues and interaction there is not much to hold my attention to this Night Market for too long. For that reason, I think it is a good idea to have these be events with a 90 day window. If it were not an "event" I bet this Night Market would be a ghost town by end of summer.
Hopefully the limited time event concept will maintain the urgency that makes it fun.

Very Sorry ZOS, but Night Market is the worst contents in this 11 years.
"Very Sorry ZOS, but Night Market is the worst contents in this 11 years."
"Please no more, those type of contents, seriously"
Despite of exotic attractive atmosphere visual design of new town. (^_^)
There're too many of "critical flaw" at there. (T_T)
1, Why bottom line "key" has time limitation period? It should be "permanent".
We can't help other player, because of that time limitation.
2, Lack of fast travel point.
This annoys us sooooooooo much !!!!
I don't want to keep slaying trash mob just only for transportation !
3, Simply boring.
No dramatic story. It's not ElderScrolls anymore.
4, Opulent Ordeal Trial game design is too much "overwhelming" nonsense.
< https://hyperioxes.com/eso/trial/opulent-ordeal >
I think that most of first attempting player will not suit themselves against "orb running".
It looks like "Lucent Citadel trial rule", but too much complex. It is very difficult to keep in touch with
team mate about each zone's situation easily. Definitely, it needs proper "UI design support" more.
Especially for newbie player who don't have trial experience.
5, Game balance is crazy.
I know it focuses group combat contents.
But, some of them are far more nonsense difficulty than Vet DLC dungeon.
6, Too much grindy!
Do we really need season style ESO ? Honestly say, I prefer previous style ESO.
Every NM game design based on grinding fatigue. Zero enjoyable aspect as ElderScrolls theme.
"Well...please no more these contents. 70% guild mate ignore this contents,
Each time we play this contents as "Pick up group" situation.
I can't play this with guild mate anyway.

Re: Night Market - Week One Notes
I'm sorry ZOS - but you've lost me for good. I won't be renewing my ESO Plus membership as it is not worth it as a solo player. You keep promoting group content and ignoring the vast majority of your players who play the game solo, or occasionally with a friend. I am enjoying Solstice, but because I didn't pay for the Season Pass (above and beyond the annual amout you drag out of me), I had to wait over a year to experience it; and guess what, I'm nearly through the content. So soon, I will be back to being bored and just logging in daily to get my hirelings emails and craft for gold.
Why don't you do something useful, like port Oblivion and Skyrim to your servers using your engine? I would love to go back and experience both of those stories but cannot play them with the original engine. Gameplay is terrible, controls are terrible. You've got a fantastic product and it's being wasted on pure violence, trash mobs and bosses. Please use it to bring resurrect the LORE once again!

Do you keep your Gold in the Bank?
The Night's Den has a currency room that fills up according to how much gold a player has. It seems it goes by how much gold is in the account bank, rather than on the individual characters. This made me wonder how players handle their gold.
So do you keep most of your gold in the bank or on your characters? Please comment why.

Re: Anyone find the new DK visual design utterly DOMINATES the visual field in every group fight now?
As a former dk main I’ve shelved all my dks as I cannot stand the new animations, they’re awful as are the new sound effects. I wish there was a way to revert these changes as my main is ruined and is now just a crafter. I wish they’d give us the old animations back for free (not for trade bars) as this was an update I never wanted. This has really ruined my will to continue this game. If it wasn’t for my friends and guilds I’d probably have quit already.
Re: Anyone find the new DK visual design utterly DOMINATES the visual field in every group fight now?
I want something to mute whip. It sounds cool when you, yourself are using it, but not when that's all you hear during a fight with other people.
The new animations look cool and everything, but they're way too flashy. Have you tried playing a DK in 1st person since the changes? Headache inducing.
EDIT: spelling
