Yeah, it's sad that the drop rates for the pet (that just about everyone has from phase 1) are way higher than the new fragments. The server/client/whatever should check to see if you've completed the pet, and if so, should drop the bones instead. That shouldn't have been too much to ask, but this game's motto when it comes to rewards is STINGY. It makes Scrooge look generous.

No, they're not going to "drop pc" because of a made up participation meter.

What's annoying is that if you got everything in Phase 1, that's still part of the loot pool for Phase 2 so what I am finding is instead of getting new stuff, I much more frequently get repeats of the Phase 1 loot. Which after already grinding for a month, is just... mind-numbingly boring. It's the same concept as wanting new stuff from Witches Festival/Jesters festival/New Life Festival but fighting against a 10-years-old loot pool of things you have hundreds of copies of already and largely getting... more of the same old garbage that you literally cannot even GIVE away at this point.

And for Writhing Wall, yes, I am doing the crafting trick of talking to the quest-giver and backing out until I get provisioning, alchemy, or enchanting to up my chances of getting the newer furnishing plans. Care to take a guess at how many grave markers, Meridian lenses, and puddles of wax I have now while trying to get the other three new plans (which I've yet to get even once and Phase 2 is nearly at the 50% done marker)?

We paid like $60 for this expansion? Really?

These drop rates might have felt more reasonable for the item that drops across the whole event.

I say "might" because even then it would have felt bad.

It's absolutely bonkers that people who have been grinding for the fragments will have to keep grinding these quests after phase II is over in order to complete the achievement. A month + of grinding between phases I and II, yet the achievement encourages people to continue grinding beyond that. It is terrible design.

Every time I ride by this WB nobody is fighting him.

Why?

• Takes too long to kill
• 1 shot mechanics
• Garbage rewards

I completed it once for the achievement and will never waste my time on it again.

So your complaint is it's more difficult than usual a WB? The issue isn't the boss, it's the players wanting ez-mode.

Ez-mode or not, why put effort into it more than once if all you get is a piece of blue gear?

I get that is a non standard install but to say the issue stems from people doing it is a bit harsh. Something has changed or not been done zos side to allow them to wipe the drive instead of uninstalling the game. Comes off like passing the buck and it’s user error solely.

This is absolutely a case of user error.

(snip)

I'm with you on this one, and I support what ZeniMax passed in this one. This is definitely user error.

Many people born after a certain date have had Computer Basics lessons since primary school, and this is absolutely covered there (or later on in the equivalent of a middle school, or high school). Do NOT touch the root "/" directory. If a person doesn't comprehend the basic knowledge of how to use a tool they have, then they either should catch up on the fundamentals, or use it at their own discretion without putting any blame on the others.

Well done on attempting to make a fix for this one, ZOS. Most other software companies would just ignore this and proclaim "works as intended, won't fix as its user error".

I just find MMO's boring lately and the reason is very simple...Most software devs want to lead you by the hand and show you all of their wondrous creations...

Problem is in reality the content it's trite and pedantic....It's not a world you can lose yourself in....Just grind dailies and listen to the same Voice lines playing in repeat ad nauseum.

Maybe in Twenty Years technology will give us a Real MMO where the NPC's feel real and you get totally invested in the story.


ESO just isn't that anymore...maye it never was.

Just wanted to pop back in and thank everyone for their feedback so far. This is helpful to inform our teams with items that can be addressed next Witches Festival and some that may take a bit more time to develop. But this is really great feedback. Thanks so much!
