I love subclassing. The freedom of choice that it allows me is simply phenomenal.

Are there imbalance problems? Of course there are. That was to be expected. But it's not unsolvable. And it's not to the pve player's detriment.

The Elder Scrolls Online FINALLY feels like an Elder Scrolls game!

When I did Bedlam Veil for the first time on PS (queued specifically for it, not a random) there were 3 of us doing the quest and 1 who wanted to speed run. It's a fairly straightforward quest that doesn't need any waiting around so it didn't really matter and we mostly kept up except for once we stopped to loot a chest (on the direct path with force lock so it took seconds) and they ran ahead and died to trash.

Then we came to the puzzles. Obviously it was the first time there for most of us so as well as the achievement there was the 3 curated chests, double event drops and empty stickerbooks! I'd had BV turn up as a random on PC so knew what to do and it took 10-15 seconds to solve and grab the loot while the runner raced on in a hurry to die to trash (they were still rezzing when we caught up). The last one didn't have a trash pack after to slow them down tho, so literally as I was about to solve it we were all pulled to the boss.

I get that people like to get dungeons over with quick but we weren't hanging about reading everything and looking into every corner. We were literally right behind them almost the whole way.

This is how most non-speed runners operate. We don't hang about but if theres a chest we want to loot it. How is it right that 1 person gets to unilaterally decide that we can't, just for the sake of 3 seconds?

No. I can see nothing but gate keeping and elitism and toxicity coming from such a system.

On the other side of the coin, why are PvE players so keen to get rid of the existing PvP when they don't play PvP at all?

If Xbox consoles shut down, ZOS better have a way to transfer real money purchases even if they can't transfer characters and progression.

I'd be happy to just not get disconnected from the game all the time.

I'm generally not against having more joinable factions in game (I still think it was a missed opportunity not to be able to let our character join a Dunmer House when Vvardenfell was added to ESO - optionally, of course), but I really hope that any additions to such a system would be lore-accurate. Which would mean smaller Daedric cults, no big temples in the open (Solstice is a big exception culturally). Aedra worship limited to only one Aedric deity would also seem unusual, unless maybe you actually became a specific priest. Joining the Dunmer Temple would also mean worshipping the whole Tribunal and not only one of them. Except for that, I think it might be an interesting addition to the game. Well, depending on the execution.

I think I know what the issue was. It was not showing or updating the damage(on the boss healthbar) Mirri Elendis(Companion NPC) was doing.

I fought it again today, and it takes about the same time(around 4minutes) to kill it fully with its health going down consistently and more quickly but this time with the damage numbers showing from Mirri's hits. Another player did arrive at the end it was already near death but since it was already almost dead it shows that with the same character, skills, gear, and everything that it dies about the same time in this one too.

I didn't have any damaging proc sets or anything. I have Bloodlords Embrace Mythic, Dolorous 5 pieces, Cyrodiils Crest 5 pieces, and 1 piece Baron Thirsk for recovery.

Also my UI was base game I think not from an addon, I do have Combat Metrics but that only adds the little black box that shows the dps, time in combat, and stuff. I also have pChat for the time in the chat and Comps world boss timer which shows the cooldown when the boss will respawn after it is defeated. In the base game combat settings of the Game Settings I have everything as Always On.

Here is the new video showing that taking about the same time it dies regularly:

Also, thank you for all your comments! Some were great comedy and others were of great concern!

Xbox is not shutting down entirely, though its strategy is shifting, with a decreased emphasis on console hardware and a greater focus on becoming a multiplatform service for games. While there are rumours and some consolidation within studios, Microsoft has confirmed there are no plans to cancel Xbox consoles and that the brand will continue into the future, likely with new hardware possibly by 2027.

Continued Access to Games: You can still access and play your purchased Xbox games and digital content.
New Consoles Likely: Despite the shifts in strategy, it is anticipated that new Xbox consoles will be released, possibly by 2027, continuing the console hardware tradition.
Access to Xbox Services: Xbox services and the Game Pass ecosystem are expected to continue, but with a broader reach across different platforms.

You really trust MS statements about the future of their brand?

I mean it was also said the Activision purchase wouldn't cause any price increase.

I invested loads of money Into ESO and I just want to know what happens with all these stuff if MS suddenly decides to shut Xbox down.

Is it still safe to invest into assets? Are those purchases I made safe? Will those be gone?

Cause to me it seems no one actually had an answer to my question.

I hate to break it to you, but nobody's purchases are safe. Digital purchases are only rented at best. There were many times in the past I'd "bought" digital copies of movies only for the provider to vanish into thin air and it's the same principle. Any or all of the servers could close at any time. At the more extreme end of the scale they can permaban and delete accounts practically on a whim and how much you've spent in the past really isn't a factor.

Buying things in a game isn't an investment
