Re: A poll about crossplay
If I had any influence on this, I would say absolutely no to crossplay
But it looks like this is happening regardless, so I just voice my opinion...
The only positive change coming with crossplay might be increasing pool of competent people to pug trials and dungeons with. All other gameplay aspects are absolutely fine (on PC).
Negative is: I see posts about bot infestation on consoles in social media. On PC, last time I saw a bot was many years ago... I absolutely hate the thought of seeing bots again and having to report them instead of playing the game and relaxing
Plus, if what people say is true, players on consoles can create accounts endlessly, so with one bot gone, another appears easily?
I really hope developers will have some system to prevent this, so when crossplay actually arrives, gameplay doesn't become worse.
zenimax nor bethesda can tell psn that they have to change how they account share games so there is no fix to the endless bots that can be made i myself report them over playing the game and if PC can get use of the system to make bot account eso going to be over-flowing with them

Re: A poll about crossplay
There can be many technical concerns but the ones I am more worried about are those tied to "human behaviour".
We see on the forum that "fights" can happen over disagreements.
I often hear from people that played on different servers that "oh I left that server because it is so toxic" etc...
I worry more about having to deal with "uneducated" players than all technical issues that could come up.
For example - I don't think the "names problem" is really a problem since it can be solved by putting the platform logo near it. BUT what if I only play with my name on an Xbox account and someone decides to create a PC account with my same name just to impersonate me and cause me troubles? Someone could propose an identificative code attached to the name, but realistically no-one would remember what's anyone's real code.
And yes, this example can already happen today, but it's more unlikely: why would any PC player care of impersonating an Xbox player when they don't even play together?
So, personally, as always, humans scare me more than anything - true IRL, true in Tamriel.
EDIT: have we not recently seen what damage "a crazy person" can do with the add-ons mess? With that said, I still think Crossplay should happen; I'm just worried.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Class Mastery
More specifically about the sustain part, let's say your main resource is stamina. A build without Dark Magic needs to use Orzoga sustain food and Sustained by Suffering CP for the extra 150 stam regen, along with whatever recovery ability that skill line has (normally Netch or Rune Focus). With Dark Magic, you can use Bewitched Sugar Skulls or a bi-stat food, which offer between 4.3k and 4.9k max stam. Most skills have a conversion ratio of 10.5 mag/stam = 1 wd/sd, meaning that by switching to a max attribute stat food you are essentially gaining an equivalent of 409 to 471 wd before modifiers. If you add the 6% max stam/mag from Undaunted and 10% from Blood Magic, you're gaining an extra 16% on top of that 4.3k - 4.9k stam, yielding a final converted value of 475 - 547 wd. This value does not appear on the passive descriptions, but requires knowledge in theorycrafting.
Yes and no.
This, in part, assumes a Stam Sorc .. but moreover this also assumes that the Sorc is at full health, otherwise, Blood Magic is providing the passive heal, not the increase to resource pool for the by proxy damage scaling.
In combat, a Sorc is going to be realizing the heal component of Blood Magic the vast majority of the time so I don't see this passive a meaningful source of a damage buff.
If we're talking about PvP then it's common knowledge that Stam based builds have light years worth of advantages over Mag based builds, but, since Sorc isn't inherently a Stam based class I don't think we're ready to just say that the damage shortfall with Sorc has been solved with these passives.

Re: My gosh, Blackwood is written so badly.
A better way of doing stories is to maybe have a section that players can read "the story so far". Which would detail what has happened and any important details the player would know. Instead of making it seem like the player has the intelligence of a hamster and the npcs have to simplify or repeat everything that happened two seconds ago like we are children. I feel like maybe there was complaints about people not being able to follow along with the story, or maybe players coming back into the game after some time were getting too confused on what was happening? Thus the... cringe hand holding writing.
Dungeon Experience for New Player
So I recently left World of Warcraft and am a new player to Elder Scrolls Online. I have been having a terrible experience with dungeons in this game. I mean, here's my experience. I have been joining groups to do dungeons, it takes awhile to even get a group, then when I do get a group, there is always one player that just leaves the group and runs to the last boss forcing the "Joining Encounter in Progress" mechanic and I am beamed to the end and it's over. This is the worst I have played on any mmo.
It seems to me that I represent a hopefully decent amount of players, meaning "the New Player". Seems to me ESO and the community would want/encourage new players. But I don't know, if ESO has been out for like 10yrs and this has never been addressed, then maybe no one wants the real new player.
Is this a problem for anyone else?
I'm sure I am not the only one to post on this. I wish there was an option to select in the "join" page that click for speed run or click for players who want to enjoy the scenery. Also, at the end, everyone leaves the group, leaving me with a very short timer and I get kicked out of the dungeon. I don't have time to go back and do anything. If the dungeon is an instance, why does it matter if I want to run around an explore? It shouldn't be hurting lag. That's like saying all the housing is hurting lag, housing is it's own instance too.
Joining guilds isn't great either, so that isn't an viable option. The devs are the best option to fix this type of thing.
Anyway, it's just my one, humble, single drop in the bucket, new player experience and it wasn't fun. Will probably search for something else.

Re: Update 50 Antiquity Leads Sources
I haven't gotten any more leads today, even from Thieves Troves in Glenumbra. Been doing pickpocketing to see if that's a source. Killing lots of Werewolves too. Over four more hours and nothing.
Must say I'm a little worried about Thieves Troves being a lead source for three of the Armory Station leads. There are already too few spawn locations in Glenumbra. Troves spawn randomly and at a much lower rate than safeboxes or treasure chests. With Thieves Guild being base game, all players can see/loot Thieves Troves now too. So finding them is going to be extremely rare when U50 goes live. It's hard enough hitting the spawn location on PTS with an extremely low population.

I spent hours looting overland treasure chests and safeboxes in Glenumbra and Hew's Bane hunting for the new leads and got nothing from either. I was limited on what chests I was able to dig up with maps, so I can't rule that source out.
I did some pickpocketing too, but it's never been my favorite pastime and I get bored quickly. I had hoped for a least one of the new furnishings that are supposed to drop in the zone but had no luck.
Re: 14 hour maintenance on Monday? Did I read that right?
A quick heads up for those in the US. In the EU we lose the entire day every maintenance. Because it's always in the daytime. The Aussies probably get it in peak playing time.

Re: 14 hour maintenance on Monday? Did I read that right?
The people that think cross paly will be good don't play other games with it, other games tell you if you don't intend on playing with console players to disable it to help with lag and population when farming anything.
They have never been able to really fix the lag in Cyrodiil this will only make it worse I've even started seeing lag in PVE
