There was someone in Rimmen on XB-NA role-playing a person who shouted all the time. Thankfully, I haven't seem them in a while - that schtick got old really quickly.

And I remember someone posting about a player who was costumed exactly like one of the NPCs (possibly a store merchant?)

Fun times!

I remember a PC who was costumed exactly like the Impresario except one minor detail (I think different earrings) and was named Impostario.

... Also, my daughter's main character looked exactly like Ember, but BEFORE Ember. It was one hell of a confusion when Ember was released, and we both went to unlock her.

Dear Sir, I bring most troubling tidings. There is yet another vile "add on" that violates the sacred Vestige OAR (One Action Rule). This villainous creation is known as "Roomba". Yes, named after that robotic machine created to rob humankind of experiencing the spiritual joy of vacuuming (which in turn was a monstrous engineered system that led to a mass extinction of brooms). It causes me physical pain even to type it out, but this "add on" automates YES AUTOMATES (god rest our souls) the act of stacking identical items in a guild bank. I shudder to think of the millions of hours of character building manual stacking that generations of Tamriel heroes have been robbed of. Sir, you are the only one I can entrust this most noble of causes to. You must smite down all the heathens and non believers who have come into contact with even a single data packet of "Roomba".

Hi all,

The Real Endgame (a large ESO Housing community on Discord – https://discord.gg/8A9XByfhxV ) is hosting a survey about Map-exclusive Antiquities. We're seeking player input on Treasure Map Leads for Antiquity furnishings from a housing perspective. Responses will be shared with the Devs, who've recently responded regarding this issue. (The sent responses will be anonymized.)

Please come take the quick survey and share your map data:
⭐ https://forms.gle/Yx4D6gqzKf4Lzvc47

And feel free to share with other housers who'd be interested in improving this system for all players!

For reference – my data from tests this summer:
130+ maps used in total, only 1 item codex-unlocked 3/3 to buy, and a gap of 2 months & 76 Maps with NO leads:

Manual UI vs. Scripted Automation: If the add-on functioned as a manual drop-down menu where the player has to intentionally click to swap, it would be a helpful UI tool. When it executes 60+ actions automatically because you walked into a room, it becomes a gameplay script."

Using that logic, are you OK with me having faster RAM, CPU & GPU than you as I'm on on PC , meaning that I can do manual tasks, eg gear swaps (Not using WW) faster on PC than Console?

Also, in all my time playing this game, I have never, never been told to run WW in any content, let alone asked.

PS, thanks for highlighting WW, it will really help with my gampad use on PC, as I can set it up in advance and just enjoy combat. Thank you for helping a fellow disabled player!

Why does it feel like you’re plugging your replies into chatGPT 😅

Anyways, GL on your journey to get this add on removed. I don’t see it happening as this has been around since 2021.

Actually, you can thank the ESO community for that.

For years, whenever I brought up the physical and mental injuries I’ve had to overcome to keep playing this game at a high level, the "advice" I got from the community was always the same: "Just use AI or tools to help you communicate and organize if you're struggling." So, I did exactly what was suggested. I’m using every tool available to ensure my arguments for game integrity are clear, professional, and bulletproof. If my posts feel "too organized" for you, it's because I’m tired of seeing serious issues dismissed because of how they are phrased.

It’s ironic that you’re mocking me for using a tool to assist with a disability, while simultaneously defending an add-on that automates the actual gameplay. One helps a player speak; the other plays the game so the player doesn't have to.

I’m here to save the integrity of the game I love, and I’ll use every resource at my disposal to make sure the Devs hear that message clearly.

The only thing i don't understand is why these antiquities can't be bought after finding 3 pieces. It just doesn't make sense, because you can do it with antiquities not from treasure maps. Or these leads should drop really often if you don't let us buy them.
I want to get 25 apocrypha shells for my house and i still only have 3 after a few dozen treasure maps. If the rules were more adequate, i could have already bought it.

I'm not against changing the RNG aspect of the lead farming but I also don't want to make those objects obtainable through other means. I like that there are ways to really reward players for exploring, especially considering how scrying/excavating is a fun, relaxing way to explore and enjoy the game without combat.

There's already things that make those objects obtainable through other means.

Most of the furnishings can be bought for gold when you've completed the codex. The stickerbook let's you make any number of mythics for a token amount after you've only collected them once. The Motifs aren't even bound and the guild traders are full of them. Even leads can be bought. Or can if you only want the mythics anyway.

Scrying and excavating might be a fun and relaxing way to explore and enjoy the game, but you need the leads to be able to do that.

If you're having to run a dungeon for a month on repeat just for one fifth of an object, it's not really without combat. If it's costing you millions and/or taking months it doesn't even end up being fun or relaxing.

It's great if you see the whole system as just a nice way to pass the time. If you're happy just digging up the random things you come across or just repeating the treasures then it's perfect.

If you actually want to collect things, it's a nightmare

By the way, the inequity between leads sources isn't just restricted to treasure maps. Just farmed a source that has the chance to drop an Antiquity furnishing lead and/or a lead for a mythic. Got the mythic lead on the first try, but it took several more tries on additional characters before the furnishing lead dropped. It was the first lead ever for both leads, but RNG certainly favored the mythic gear piece.

More Solstice Treasure Maps are available this week from Imperial City Tel Var Merchant, if anyone has an excess of that currency. LOL



Personally, I'd rather spend my Tel Var on actual furnishings from IC instead of a super-low chance at a lead.

If they swapped the map with an actual furnishing lead, I'd pay 6k telvar for sure.
Might actually have a reason to go to IC.

The two leads from IC are always for mythic gear (never for furnishings) and cost 25K Tel Var. Once again, this demonstrates the inequality of lead sources between mythic gear and Antiquity furnishings. 6K for a map with almost no chance of a lead vs. 25K for guaranteed mythic lead that never needs to be farmed again because of the transmute/reconstruction features.

As long as these motifs are not tradable, I don't see an issue. They're purely cosmetic, and disallowing them from being traded prevents them from influencing the economy. Though that does mean if they show up in crafting writs, those players would need to actually play the game in those difficulties to earn those styles.
