Re: Why Soloed Dungeons are forbidden in the new Golden Pursuit??
I assume it's somewhat preparing you to experience teamwork with other players once Night Market starts next week.
Well, the "teamwork" I experienced today was being grouped with a friend - while he wasn't even online the whole time - , just for my character to have "grouped" status, so whatever I was doing alone counted for the golden pursuit.
I thought the Night Market was supposed to be an attempt at having more difficult content, which needs several players present for completion, without needing to group? Basically like the Writhing Fortress last year?

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for PvP Veterancy
The name Veterancy is dumb. Change that to nothing overlapping any other system in ESO.
Rewards. I've played PVP for years and still do not have all items for all PVP sets. Currency is meaningless for vets, millions of AP and telvar, maxed out transmutes (even with the recent increase to 3k).
Put in some options to get curated item sets where the item is guaranteed to be one not in the sticker book.
And Rewards of the Worthy - oh my god stop giving out gorethief. I'm done. It's a waste of an email. Put in some curation on open or a chance at curation.

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
I popped in rq to see how the Vengeance was Coming along:
And here's how the last Greyhost campaign went:
Despite all the chest pounding and boasting in this thread from the Vengeance fans, it is on day two already a dead campaign. Everyone is seemingly just logging in on their ep toons to take everything, so much that while ep is over 4K points already, everyone else is under 1k. Thats pretty telling. And yes I know it resets early, even with the math incorporating this, this is really really bad, and in fact if it wasnt regularly resetting, the difference would be even greater.
This campaign is actually deader than Ravenwatch and Blackreach, impressive. And Zos decided to halt our very competitive, very active Greyhost pvp, for this. Pvers claim they want Vengeance yet not enough of them are saying this to make the campaign function, much less make it competitive.
Give it a rest Zos, and focus again on Greyhost. This is ridiculous.

Re: U50 Feedback Thread for Combat Refresh: Werewolf
I will add for missing cosmetic things the grabble gun works for werewolf but is missing an animation. This has been tested In Unhallowed Grave and Vateshran Hollows.
Re: Sorcerer, what does "DCP" mean?
Maybe it's the three roles for dungeons. Destroy, control, protect... Dps tank and healer

GH as you know it is going to be forced into the new 1 keep campaign they showcased in one of the previous livestreams. Basically 3 spawns, 1 keep with a river around it and bridges, then a lumber/farm/mine outside the river for side objectives. In the options below the 3rd option is obviously the ideal where we slightly tone back the build system for pvp to become performative......however we already know zos is going with option 2 since they announced the new map and already started working the class reworks BEFORE vengeance testing even concluded.
The dilema is current pvp is already at 1/3 the capacity and still lagging. As the game expands and sets/skills get more complex with more complex animations the performance limitations for one server obviously struggle to handle the new load.
- Zos can leave greyhost as is and inevitably keep reducing cyrodil population to match the performance from the 900-600-300(current)-150-75 until the campaign is literally nonfunctional. We already saw with the u50, nocp, and other vet campaigns that as the population in cyrodil diminishes the keep seige concept falls apart because there is not enough player distribution. In this current state there is no new player entry to pvp except BGs which have no functional MMR ranking and are riddled with smurfing mmr resets weekly.
- Zos creates a new map for pvp based around the ~150 or ~75 playercap and ditches cyrodil except for special events or vengeance to get new people into pvp in some form or another
- Zos could wait for the vengeance tests to be over to rework classes and change skills to be in more streamlined performative ways. Use the PvE and PvP gear split system they made to isolate PvP specific gear which could be tailored for performance, while also driving a whole new economy and separate inventory system that makes it easy for new players or PvE players to get involved without the entry cost burden.
Really saddening to read this cause it’s likely what will happen. It’s a shame the people in charge of PvP never enjoyed PvP the way many of us did/do in Cyro. You don’t know what you got until it’s gone type of thing.
idk its like zos is moving the game more towards a singleplayer coop game feeling and cutting back on all the MMO aspects. For instance even look at building, back in the day youd have 3-4 viable builds per class per stam/mag......nearly 32+ playstyles that were unique. Now adays its the generic acuity+merciless+deep fissure combo.....or I guess DK now. Sure there is visual differences, but everything PLAYS the same.
Unfortunate, there’s a big difference in missed opportunities and wasted talent. One being much much worse than the other. ESO PvP was/is IMO the most unique PvP formula I’ve ever played, I would never say that if it didn’t have unique builds, strategies, expansive terrain, and multiple POI’s where anything could happen.
The thought of some midsized map being a replacement for Cyro is sickening to me. Might be fun as a deathmatch here and there, but I highly doubt I’ll ever feel invested into an alliance or campaign like that. It’ll likely feel like a shell of what used to be and no real reason to do it other than mindless pug stomping.
Well like i theorized in the PVP threads section. If I was zos I would make a new pvp campaign system using a mesh server system to distribute the lag. Instead of having one cyrodil with 18 keeps on it. Why not make 18 servers with one keep each? Cyro is so large you could break it down. Plenty of other games do this like Albion or even Ashes of Creation planned a similar system.
Re: Can we please have some "down time"?
Diden't zos remove golden pursuits and daily endevors to put them in the tome with the intent of removing daily chores and stressing time limits?
I do actually appreciate having tings to do but i also want the freedom to leave the game for 1 week and go to the sea with my family without losing something.
The tome perfectly fit this need since you can open a sachel and recover the missed time but zos reintroduced a daily login objective in the tome and new golden pursuits invalidating the reason why the tome was created in the first place.
I'm on the side of people wanting tings to do but tomes+golden pursuits togheter feel like a strange design choice.
Can't wait to see tome+golden pursuit+event+night market timed zone active at the same time... and why not, let's trow pvp new veterancy mode in the mix too!
They only removed Daily Login Rewards and Daily Endeavours.
Daily tasks are gone, Tomes have Weekly and Seasonal Challenges.
The daily login Challenge is just there to give you 15 Tome Points every day, you can get more than necessary points from doing the other challenges throughout the Seasons.
Golden Pursuit campaigns are never just 1 day either.
the Seasons intro post from January also made it clear Pursuits would stay
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/69137
i do understand that Pursuits with Tome Challenges can be a lot, but they are not necessary to do daily and plenty of them are possible to complete at the same time.
The Environment Can Be Your Armor
I found something interesting in a dragon fight. The dragon landed on top of a tower -high ground- fire everywhere, chaos like always. Most players would stay back or try to outlast the damage.
Instead, I found a tree. I stood just behind it and kept firing. The dragon attacked – fire, flame and everything – but it never touched me.
Not because I was stronger.
Not because I had better gear.
Because the tree was between us. That’s when it hit me.… the environment isn’t just something you fight in.
It’s something you fight with. One step to the side, and I would’ve been burned. One step behind cover and I could attack freely.
Same fight.
Different outcome.
I didn’t change my build.
I changed my position.
And that changed everything.

Re: The Silence On Antiquity Leads Is Defeaning!
I've literally progged hardmodes/trifectas in less time than it's taken me to get a lead I've actively been chasing. This feels very backwards and the system needs to change. Nobody is asking for things to be handed to them, what we want is a proper sense of progression and to get a fair reward for time/effort spent. I would love to see some sort of pity system or alternative ways to get a lead we want to work towards. I have tried for the bastion nymic lead 2-3x a day almost every day for over a year and still have not gotten it. This kind of rng is just unfun and frustrating, especially for leads you cannot farm alone (dungeons, trials, etc).
My 2nd iteration of Glyphic Secrets took me over 100 Bastian Nymics to drop from the reward coffers, after finidng all other leads.
From my own observations, leads from coffers typically have a much higher chance once you've dug up associated leads. Nymics (one of the dullest pieces of content in the game) seems to be the exception.
I'm not looking forward to grinding another 100, once I've finished grinding The Cataloger (Coming up on 4 dozen kills).
