my issues with the event right now is that there is little variety, and poor rewards for repeating quests
the blue event boxes are 98% just hot garbage that dont offer anything other than standard quest rewards, i mean repeat crafting dailies gives you some mats thats almost worse than a standard daily writ, so outside of the gold box theres little incentive to repeat the quests
the only reason i say 98% is very seldomly ive gotten the haj mota fragments or master writs from blue crafting boxes, but its too rare to be worth doing all 5 or so repeats of the crafting daily
the quest for getting specific drops from enemies in specific areas is about the worst possible style quest that can be done for an event, especially when the drops are rare-ish, and competing with other players for kills
the vitrified souls quest is pretty easy and alright, but again rewards are not great especially for blue boxes
the siege camps are about the most fun thing in this event, but they require people to have the content pass for it, and i think most people are already getting burned out on it since its basically just alikr dolmen farming (i took advantage of the fact we could get 5 siege camp dailies per character to finish all of the new achievements for these since they are going to be a permanent fixture after this event)
the tl;dr of this is repeat quest rewards are very poor, and the lack of variety of quests, but overall more or less standard event
I haven't bought a chapter at full price only sales or giveaways for several chapters, and I ain't gonna do it for some pass that has even less content and more bad writing like previous latest chapters.
More love given to housing, make it equal to what we used to have in Skyrim, display cases, mannequins display stands and display plaques and weapons and armour to use with them for a start! Pretty pathetic we do not have such basic housing items already.
And more of those collectibles for housing to be obtained doing things in the game, like a torchbug or other small critters in a jar, things we would be proud to have on display. Or a nice potted plant. You cannot even buy a common broom for your house yet.
You need to push for a change when it's relevant to the PTS it released on because there is a low chance it will be addressed before live... even lower but possible for the 1st or 2nd major update after (3~6 months)... or have fun waiting the life time of a young child (3~6 years) before it ever gets addressed again.
Here's some long term abandoned projects:
Dark brotherhood and Thieves guild (justice system)
Overland difficulty
Racial passives
CP 2.0 expansions
Hybridization completion (consumables/mundus/dead skill morphs/combining ws dmg and crit)
Housing limits
Armory not copying scribing selection
Class identity
Ice staff as a dps weapon and new weapons in general
500+ dead sets including the majority of mythics and monster sets
3 piece sets never being expanded on
HP recovery usually being useless
Cross healing in pvp
Lag in cyrodil (yay vengence?)
Raising the dps floor, lowering the dps ceiling, better educating new players
Here's a more recent list of abandoned projects:
New companions, that are actually useful, expand the skills, add romance
Tales of tribute decks or any adjustment whatsoever
New scribing scripts and grimoires or balance adjustments
New infinite archive sets/visions/arenas
BG 2.0 mmr rework, new maps, bring back 4v4v4
And last but not least, Subclassing
I suppose we can also consider Grave Lord Sacrifice's terrible design they said they would revisit, Fartcarver being too strong in pve since release, and this update's light/heavy attack animations becoming broken.
It happens every... single... time. But yeah, they just keep saying, wait for next year, then the next, then the next, always moving the goal posts, never fully seeing anything through.
Maybe for flame but ice heavies have clear uses in PvE for supports
What use as a tank? Ha with ice staff feels slow and awkward af. If no channel at least speed it up to same as sword.
More for healers. I found it much easier to use an ice for Roaring Opportunist than a lightning or restro because I’d get lost in the fight and end up medium attacking (thus not proccing the set). Ice is also faster than lightning, so better uptime on the set. Instead of making them all channel, just add a passive that you can put a point into. Or leave them how they are so theres more identity between ice and lightning. Fire I couldn’t care less if it’s a channel or not.
I am breaking my rule of complaining about free stuff here, but have to agree with OP. This month's rewards are bargain basement. Like getting a penny or pencil for Halloween. Can I use them? Sure, but rather have the Reese's
