Re: Are The Tome Challenges As Ludicrously Unfair As It Seems?
Yeah, that is my main issue with the system. I don't mind the tasks awarding different amount of points, but the total should be the same. For example, you either get five 100 point tasks to pick 20 flowers or two 250 point tasks to kill Molag Kena.

I get that in reality two-handed swords are way lighter than you'd assume from how they're displayed in the majority of fiction. But I'd still like my 2H animations in ESO to have more oomph than the current PTS versions have.
Since they want to modernize the game, I think it's time they think about diversifying the different weapon types in each skill line more. At the very least, get them closer to destruction staves. That should be the case for animations as well. The new animations look way too much like sword fighting, considering they will be used for maces and axes as well.
At the same time, the devs ought to take new art in a direction that still suits the Elder Scrolls IP. And there's been so much feedback pointing out the new 2H style being at odds with that. I think the issue is that it just doesn't look grounded enough.
We are getting an animation toggle from @ZOS_Jose and his team that will tone down effects, with a setting including multiple options.
For those who don’t like the 2H animations, or DK ones, toning down the flashiness of the skills will leave the abilities looking more grounded and realistic. Very excited to see how it plays out.
Hey yall, just to clarify, we are working on toning down the intensity and transparency of Visual Effects, not animations. The difference being Visual Effects are usually like the Flames or Electricity that are part of player abilities. Animation is the set choreography players will do when they activate an ability like a swipe or punch (as examples). To clarify this investigation won't be touching animations but will looking into reducing the intensity of Visual Effects in order to help players with sensitivities to bright lights, amongst other reasons. We are looking at all possible sources of those visual effects (item sets, abilities, etc) but ultimately we will have to wait and see for what the investigation brings out so we can deliver things in the hopefully best manner. Thanks for the interest everyone and we will keep yall updated!They are literally working on thatLet us keep our weapon styles visibleHi! Just checking in to see if there have been any updates on this since the last message. Is there any news or an estimated timeframe for a possible change? Thanks!
The team will be implementing a skill style for Molten Weapons that does not include the weapon override. It will come from in-game sourcing, but further details are still being worked out and we'll provide another update when we can.That's what Skill Styles are for, and they are continually releasing for various skills.Offer alternative visuals that fit different aesthetics
Well they shouldn't have done it in the first place, to be fair. ESPECIALLY model replacement with these ugly bulky lava weapons. Sorry if you (anybody) likes the design, but I hate them and nobody should be forced to use them.
Also, it's such a simple change for the final one, remove the weapon replacement, and yet we still don't have it. Would be a perfect item to put in the bazaar or ideally for free. They claimed they would do something with Grim Focus too and they ain't done anything, so it's hard to be appeased until we actually SEE the thing they promised.

Re: Remember when the Jubilee boxes had lots of motifs?
We also used to get stacks of 20x a crafting mat before they redesigned the coffers. Now I'm seeing a stack of 5x in a box instead.
Clearly my time is worth significantly less to ZOS than it was before for some reason if I get 75% less mats when I get them. The 1x Frost Mirriam or Bervez Juice provides an extra line item, but throwing us 1 of so common an item seems like it's just there as filler to inflate the visual impression of how much is in the box. It doesn't make up for losing out on 15x a mat.
I used to do writs on all of my characters every day of the event. Now I maybe finish them on one, and only because I'm already right there. I want to feel like I'm incentivized to do the event, but expecting me to the do the same work as in prior years for much less of a reward is not it.

Idea: add indicator for challenge difficulty
I think it would be really cool if every player who plays in challenge difficulty would have a little indicator next to the level/cp
It could be like:
No challenge (Adventurer): nothing
Seasoned: bronze- themed icon
Master: silver-themed icon
Vestige: golden-themed icon
This way all other player can see what you are up to

Re: What sort of "cinematic kills" would you like to see?
None thanks.
Even the cinematic blade of woe kill can last too long if you're trying to avoid being noticed. For other circumstances I'm usually killing something because I'm on my way to somewhere else and the enemy is in my way (why would I want the fight to last longer?) or it's part of a dungeon, trial or arena where losing a few seconds to a slomo view of a kill could kill my character or endanger others in the group.

Re: What sort of "cinematic kills" would you like to see?
It won't work smoothly, would be very disruptive and most players would opt out, because they don't want to spend time watching yanky animations when they could dash towards the next mob.
My questions:
What happens if the killing blow ability is a ground attack AoE? Will we get an epic close up shot of Blockade of Fire? 😅
What if the engine doesn't recognise the end of combat? #stuckincombat
What if a group kills a Boss? Who gets to deal the killing blow?
What about add waves? Will one player be stuck in an animation while the rest of the trial group is already starting the next add wave/Boss fight?
I don't want to be rude. But, what works in Skyrim, doesn't necessarily work in ESO.

Re: Who is the dremora in the middle of the night market picture?
That is the Curator, he gives the Night Market introductory quest.
putting it out there now: night market time limit
i know night market is not available yet, but why in gods name is this event zone going to be limited duration when there will be bother monster set gear AND mythic leads that will ONLY be obtainable from this event zone when its active?
yes we have the recreation system now, but it will be awful having to try to farm up 5 leads for a mythic, 9 monster helms, and 9 monster shoulders in a roughly 7 week period (april 29-june 17)? there should absolutely not be any gear or antiquity leads tied into a limited time zone
i know the whole thing is not available yet, but this just screams bad design/decision making to me, its quite a bit different than someone missing out on purely cosmetic items such as most of the holiday related achievements and associated collectibles as gear actively influences your character and combat

- anyone who missed out on obtaining those will be SOL until the event zone is reopened for one
- this could create a situation in the future where if something "good" is released from a temporary zone, and someone misses out on it, they could be severely disadvantaged in certain content (such as pvp) because they were not around during the event and would have to wait until the next time it came around
- tying antiquity leads into a temporary event will lead to a situation where people who like to finish codex entries will not be able to work on them at all until the event zone is opened back up
