Re: Lack of sanitary items
Well, we know they do it... Soars-in-Laughter from the Jesters Festival mentions toilet pranks. Sorry, I only have a screenshot in German; it's about glue on the toilet seat — which again begs the question: where are all these toilets!
Same place as all the children.
Re: Can we please have some "down time"?
Isn't the current golden pursuits a preview of Night Market with 1 of 3 fractions to join, where you do PVP, group dungeons(not soloing), trials for additional rewards. I like the golden pursuits, but not the PVP & grouping up for group dungeons.
Why is BETH pushing PVP and group up so hard?
Umm, because people like PVP and playing in groups? I don’t understand this weird mentality where ever time ZOS does something that doesn’t cater to a specific group, that group comes out of the woodwork and screams about how it’s not fair.
- Group content, solo players complain
- Solo content, group players complain
- PVE content, PVP players complain
- PVP content, PVE players complain (in record numbers)
Can we acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, the entire game isn’t meant for everyone and that’s okay? Enjoy what you do, and avoid what you don’t.
Which brings me to the original post. Some of you also need to accept that you’re not going to get every reward or complete every objective. You don’t need it. And if getting everything under the sun is your objective, understand that doing so is going to take a lot of time, require doing stuff you might not like, and take most of your effort away from the stuff you do like.
Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Sheogorath Questline
Did you engage with the quest?
I did all of Sheogorath’s quests.
Did you find it easy to get the Sheogorath quests?
Relatively easy overall, but I really wish there were a proper questing hub outside the Crown Store… It just doesn’t feel RIGHT for these quests to be placed there. I’ve seen a lot of players describing this as “hiding the quests,” and honestly, I agree. Isn’t there a way to add a Journal tab for these, like with prologues and similar content? I think that would work much better.
Did you enjoy the quests? Please provide additional feedback to provide context.
Honestly: it’s a fun questline overall. The environments are cool, and Sheogorath’s appearance is always entertaining, but… don’t you think it’s starting to feel a bit worn out? Sheogorath is a macabre prince, and his themes are macabre. Part of what makes him so compelling is that, yes, on one hand he cracks jokes about cheese (which used to be more occasional, but now feels like a constant barrage that doesn’t quite work for the character anymore), but on the other hand, he makes flaming dogs rain down on a village. He’s not kind—he is funny, but much more because of the absurdity of his madness than the way he’s been portrayed lately. I have to admit, that left me a bit disappointed. It’s worth remembering that we have countless books describing the more bizarre aspects of this prince, and even parts of his realm carry heavy, unsettling names because of what he represents. I genuinely feel like that aspect of the Prince of Madness was missing here, you know? Less talking, more sheer bizarreness.
Did you find any quests to be problematic from either a directional or difficulty standpoint?
I didn’t find any of the quests problematic in any sense. The only issue I ran into was that sometimes Sheogorath wouldn’t spawn, and I had to log out and back in for him to appear—it happened about three or four times during the questline.
Did you try this questline while using Challenge Difficulty? If so, please provide any feedback on the experience.
I used Vestige difficulty for most of it, and the encounters were pretty fun, especially the one where Maddy summons multiple enemies at once.

Seriously? Because it's a MMO.
MMO does NOT mean grouping. It ONLY means there are multiple players in the game world at the same time.
Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
Speak for yourself, GH gets stale for me in about 20 minutes. Speaking of rapidly dying: how do you think those noobs enjoying Vengeance are gonna feel when they come to GH and get instantly deleted over and over and over and over, or when they learn what a "ball group" is...Oblivion_Protocol wrote: »It’s fun for the first day or two before rapidly dying.
Does your performance degrade when you come to Vengeance? Mine does not, because I do not need to rely on outbuilding my opponent to win. Mid tier players who rely on building tanky to stay in the game on GH are my favorite targets on Vengeance, where I kill them much more quickly.BardokRedSnow wrote: »If it was all about skill and vengeance enjoyers were the best

Dear ZOS - Take Down The Servers
PC NA here.
Hey ZOS. I'm not sure if you noticed or not but the game has started to have all sort of persistent issues this year, ESPECICALLY since Update 49 went live. I and others have been experiencing increased instances of the game locking up and crashing resulting in Errors that prevent being able to log back into the game for an hour or more, rubberbanding, game freezes that last 30 seconds or more and when the game unfreezes our characters are either dead or nowhere near the location where we froze - sometimes both. Plus, there are a few new spots where we are getting dismounted where we were never dismounted before Update 49. I also noticed that when Update 49 went live ALL of my characters each lost one full (200) stack of lockpicks AND after the patch the beginning of April they also each lost a full (200) stack of Soul Gems.
So it is clear to me at least that the game needs some serious attention to fix all of these problems, especially if you expect me to ever spend money on this game again, ex. ESO+.
I suggest that since Season Zero ends in July - the height of Summer (in the Northern Hemisphere) when most people are OUTSIDE away from their electronic toys - that you take down the servers for a full one (168 hours) week or even two full (336 hours) weeks if necessary to fix ALL of these issues. I think it will show that you are serious about retaining players and that you understand that good stewardship of your property is necessary to keeping your business sound.
So, PLEASE, take down the servers and FIX these problems ALL AT ONCE instead of piecemeal like you're been. Clear the board of problems and start over with a new clean slate. July is the BEST time of year to do this as I expect that is the one time of year with the least number of players so the least number affected.
Think about it ZOS. You've got two and half months to make it happen which aught to be plenty of time.
Thank you.

Re: Removing Map Based Leads?
There are four major pain points associated with Antiquity Furnishings where the leads come from zone Treasure Chest Maps:
Subsequently, we suggest the following remedies:
- Leads are locked behind rare maps, which have a low drop rate, effectively double-locking such leads through "RNG nesting."
- Poor chance of getting desired leads due to low drop rates, artificial throttling of second and third leads, increased rarity for purple and gold leads, and a large pool of potential leads from the same source.
- Codex hurdle for buying additional Antiquities from the Achievement Vendor (when this hurdle does not exist for recreating Mythic gear)
- Antiquities that cannot be purchased from an Achievement Vendor, even when the requisite codex is complete.
Subsequently, we suggest the following remedies:
- Improve the drop-rate for rare maps from Unopened Maps, preferably by making the zone where maps are opened by a player the location for the map received.
- Increase the drop rate for Antiquity furnishing leads and remove the artificial throttling of leads for the second and third lead to drop.
- Eliminate the need for Codex completion and allow Antiquity furnishings to be purchased after the first successful acquisition of any Antiquity furnishing.
- Add the green and blue quality Antiquities to the Achievement vendors for the zones where they can be excavated (i.e. West Weald, Solstice, Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha).

Re: I don't like the new golden pursuits and the notifictions even less
FurryCandyHearts wrote: »I agree with the option to hide the golden pursuits notification would be nice.
As a temporary solution, couldn't you just take the rewards and never see the popup again once completed? You know this won't be fixed any time soon, and from the words you're typing this is causing great distress.
NO> I DO NOT WANT THEM!
Your third post on this thread prompted a temporary solution to take items you don't want which you can leave to rot in your collections as the notification will remain. Well, you either get the notification or you get the reward currently.
As a side note, make downvotes an option please ZOS.
