This is also unfortunate for those of us who prefer to quest in a new zone months later, once it quiets down. This is unlikely to be possible in a temporary zone with lots of obligatory grinding if you wish to acquire everything.

The thing that gives me hope is that they have said if players’ reception of the event is good they will consider making it a permanent zone.

I hope this will happen!

They have said the leads will drop in other places when the Night Market is inactive, so the Mythic is not time limited.

The monster sets are not only tied to the night market, but also tied to specific factions, so you can only get one per iteration of the Night Market.

Uhmmm... any leads which drop from Night Market will be available from other sources when Night Market isn't running. Your FOMO is misplaced here. Monster Helms are six pieces, not the couple or three dozen like overland and dungeon sets. They're still "go there, kill that boss, get your curated piece, and repeat until you have all the pieces." Your FOMO is misplaced here. Additionally, your account will be faction-locked for the duration, so you'll be wanting to change factions when the Night Market comes back in Season Two to get another faction's stuff. Your FOMO is misplaced here. Thus far, what I'm hearing is complaints about problems which aren't problems. Did I miss something?

So it's 2026.

Between the broken bar swaps, skill firing delays, constant rubber banding, , and frequent 999+ ping with disconnects it’s the same frustrating cycle.

It’s baffling that after all these years ZOS can still prioritize Crown Store updates and launch content oh and a Battle Pass to drive engagement, while the servers collapse under any "above average" workload. You’re asking for our time and investment but failing to provide a functional environment to play in.

How is it that ZOS has the resources to rebuild databases, revamp skill visuals, add story content that drives revenue , but server stability has never improved in a decade.. Mind blowing.

The monetization is flawless; the servers are a disaster. Fix the foundation before you keep building the roof.

The only other game I've played with a battlepass-like system is Dead by Daylight, so that's my main frame of reference. DBD's battlepass system genuinely sucks, often with far more tedious and hyper-specific challenges, and you don't even get to keep the battlepass after purchasing it, so if you fail to complete it, then you are SOL.

I think ESO's isn't horrible, but it could be better. I was able to get more than halfway through it relatively quickly. I think one way they could alleviate the need to do challenges is by adding additional sources of tome points, such as gaining experience, or turning in quests. This would help people feel less reliant on challenges, and would reward people for playing the game naturally.

Did you get through it with ESO+ points, or just from the free pass points itself?

I'm on Page 3, but due to inventory overload I bought a month of ESO+ so that jumped me up a page.

I did end up using a cache for it since I wasn't sure what it was when I opened it, but without it, I'd be on page 5. My challenges for this week + last week took me both around a day or so to complete.

Hello ZOS Combat Team, @ZOS_BrianWheeler

Given the increasing number of complaints regarding the new version of the DragonKnight, I think it's time for a nerf.

Why can't we wait until you update our other classes?
Well, because it would take too long.
We want to play, right?

You can keep the beautiful animations, but reduce its power, however you can, find a way.

Thank you.

The PvP situation never got fixed though. I wonder if the 2nd tick could also do AoE damage as a compromise? Enough time to see that someone’s HAing (as opposed to the first tick) and get out of there but a buff for the HA.

Or just consider PvP zone PvE enemies to be players somehow, so the damage reduction carries over.

@Ingel_Riday
It looks a lot like ZOS are trying to find a new income model after the Chapters purchases and ESO+ subscriptions dropped off in the past few years.
It looks like ZOS are looking at other games and trying out what works there e.g. last year's Seasons, this years Battle Passes.
I reckon ESO might go F2P next year.

Neither Premium nor Premium+ are worth it. Let's look at what you get for your money:

• 2 reskinned mounts and not very interesting ones either. These are pointless because you probably already have better looking mounts. If you don't you can just redeem the Seals of Endeavor from the free tome and buy a mount with those from the crown crates.
• Mesa Stalker outfit motifs. These are pointless because we already have plenty of Khajiit motifs for free. You have the basic Khajiit style, Moongrave Fane, Sunspire, Pelletine, Anequina, and New Moon Priest. All of which can be gotten from guild traders and all of them look better imo. You can very easily make a far better looking Khajiiti "stalker" outfit with those and/or some of the other free motifs you can buy for gold from guild traders.
• Monster Hunter personality. This one's a bit subjective. I don't like personalities since your character still uses their default animations when their weapons are unsheathed, and a large part of the game is combat, so you don't get to see the personality that much. Not to mention personalities don't have unique animations for when you're on a mount or swimming. But maybe you like it, who knows.
• Shadow Cloak, Dawn Orange. This one is so subtle and the default Shadow Cloak has a red hue anyway, so this one is completely pointless imo. On top of that Shadow Cloak is only really useful in PVP. This seriously should've been in the free tome.
• Vigor, Dawn Orange. This one is also a bit subjective. It is noticeably different than the OG Vigor. And unlike Shadow Cloak you can actually see it in combat since the effect is more pronounced. So maybe you like it, maybe not.
• Dungeon Delver Theodolite. Non combat pet. A very garish looking one too. Completely useless imo.
• Piercing Howl, Dusk Blue and Silver Bolts, Dusk Blue. Lumping these 2 together since what I have to say applies to both. Useless since it's such a subtle visual effect that will get lost in all the visual clutter during combat. And these are combat skills that you can't use without a target so you can't even admire them when you're by yourself.
• Tome Bearer's Inspiration. Looks like vomit imo. Not to mention it doesn't match the visuals of the rest of the Arcanist's kit. Like, you've got green crux floating around your character while you're beaming with your blue beam, all the while your weapons are glowing a bright orange. So you're paying to make your weapon look like vomit and have it be mismatched with the rest of your class' skills. Not a very good deal tbh.
• Mesa Stalker Earings. Useless if you wear a helmet. Useless even without a helmet imo since they are so small that they'll get lost in all the visual clutter during combat.
• Raynor's Traveling Robes (Premium+ exclusive). Just a generic pair of robes with some dwemer scrap metal super glued onto them. There are plenty of better looking robes you can get for free, making these ones completely useless.

And that's basically it. The only things that I can kinda understand wanting are Vigor and the Monster Hunter personality, but it's not worth spending 15, or God forbid, 30 euros just for those. The rest of the stuff is garbage imo. If the tomes were, like 3 euros for the Premium and 5 for the Premium+ then maybe I'd say they're worth it just for Vigor/Monster Hunter, but at the current price point it's not worth it.

I clearly think it should be added to the TOS that if players act unsporting in pvp then they should get banned.

You mean "Unsportsmanlike conduct" like ganking Player in a enemy Town when the hand in their Quest?

No, its a pvp zone. You step into cyrodiil you should expect pvp.

I know.

You play a MMO, so you should expect Trolls and Idiots.
