The servers melted down again this morning. So, no, there is a lot more to it. Massive lag, disconnects, rubberbanding, etc....the whole boat of everything bad was full on again today.

Have they said anywhere that they might "test" better/more server capacity?

Zos should redesign "smart" healing spells to all be positional with different types of cones or areas of effect so that different heals are best for different playstyles or situations. Assuming the source of lag is the number of targets in a massive field around the caster, this would address that well.

Trait learning achievement (actually for 8 traits because it was written before Nirnhorned was released): Trait Master - https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Trait_Master

Then they added: Learn Nirnhoned Trait - https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Learn_the_Nirnhoned_Trait

Then when jewelry was addeed: Learn Jewelry Trait - https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Learn_a_Jewelry_Trait

Not sure what more you could want?

I think it would be helpful to have a training area similar to what WoW had. It required you to pass simulated situations before you could queue for more difficult content. You could still do the content with a group, but couldn't queue for a random until you passed it.

I don't think we should be locked behind these, but it would let you know what content you are able to run adequately, and when you are ready for harder content.

I genuinely, honestly loved the short time when WoW required you to pass one of those before being able to queue up for heroic (aka vet version for wow).

but... and this is a big one...

wow combat is far FAR more forgiving than that of ESO. like... so much more forgiving. for all that people talk about how ESO trials (raids) are so easy and how end game content is not as challenging as wow... WoW provides a lot of end game content that is extremely accessible in part BECAUSE of how forgiving the combat is. rotations are still important. proper talent allocation is still important. but.
1. combat is slower because there IS no weaving. you have auto attacks for most classes/specs (with exception of ranged casters) which take place of basic attacks of ESO and they fire automatically. and your cooldowns cannot be circumvented with exception of occasional buffs that have multi minute cooldowns and interrupts/stuns.
2. there is no dodging, rolling or sprinting as baseline, so bad tends to give you more time to move out of it, since you have to run out at normal speed
3. this one is important - you select your targets and they are permanently selected so unless you are facing away from them, your attacks WILL always hit those targets.
4. as a tank - you have AoE taunt and just baseline extra threat built into every attack you make as long as you are in tank spec.
5. as a healer - you do need to select your targets manually to heal even for many of the AoE heals, very few heals are of smart variety, BUT... WoW has mouseover healing and in many ways good use of triage allows to prioritize necessary targets instead of "smart" heals bouncing to the wrong ones because they were closer.


so what does this all mean? learning to pass basic tutorials and understanding how roles work (which still exist btw, they are just not mandatory anymore) doesn't take nearly as long as it does in ESO. and your performance from basic learning is going to be MUCH higher then ESO because baseline performance in WoW doesn't require nearly as much practice.


last but not least. because of how skill lines in ESO work, that whole every class can learn every skill line deal.... specs constantly change. every balance pass, ever gear adjustment - what works and what doesn't and in combination with what - shifts. and because there are so many variations that are possible, it can be confusing trying to figure out what is good and what just sounds good on paper. ESO has skill advisor. give me a single experienced player who agrees with what skill advisor is suggesting.

in WoW. when I select a healing spec (and I have to have or be in healing spec in order to queue up as a healer - and not every class has one available) - I am given a full complement of healing abilities. I don't have to slot a weapon to level them, I don't have to figure out that... just leveling up does NOT level up my skill lines - i have to slot specific abilities and it will ONLY level those abilities, I do not have to deal with figuring out which morph to chose, and some of those morphs are less obvious then others.

ESO is simultaneously one of the more casual friendly games AND one of the most convolutedly complex and unfriendly ones.

I believed I could fix this fashion disaster of an outfit with a good dye scheme, but to my dismay the gold metal is undyeable.

My best attempt so far.



On the Vampire Noble outfit you let us dye the metal claws ZOS but why not here with this outfit? It really messed up all the ideas I had and makes certaint dye schemes just not work since you have this bright gold all over it!

Sorry to burst your bubble, and of course this could also be from RnG but I got all 3, in fact I have 4 pieces just simply picking up treasure maps hunting for the motifs. You didn't have to specifically steal from safe boxes.
