Re: Challenge System is Impacting Standard Game Play

I find the collect resource challenges more then adequate to keep my materials stocked. I open 15 surveys of the type needed and then go to those zones as time permits. And if those zones are overcrowded because of a zone-specific challenge, it's okay because surveys are not affected. I know... "boring and tedious".
What comes to those that do not have a stack of surveys?
Wait till you can get more? Or buy them?
I have 7 accounts I have been doing challenges on. Based on how I was running endeavors, its better.
I look at it this way. When I have an account with challenges as detailed below here is what i do:
5 challenges = not focus on them this week
10 challenges = make sure to complete at least 3
12 challenges = make sure to complete 5 or more.
This basically means that I can just relax and play like normal with no pressure or fomo for about 10 to 11 days per account. Then it starts to ramp up a bit.
With rerolls and duplicates, it becomes easier to get done.
Ironically the resource gather takes the longest for me as you cant do those in groups, but since surveys count those help speed things up.
If I dont have surveys I reroll until I get like maps or something.
I imagine that once more challenges come out, and the novelty wears off, that it wont be as cumbersome to complete.
Especially with the rollover cap in place.
I have reached a point where the challenges are more frustrating than fun so I don't do them unless it blends into my game play. Unfortunately for me, other folks like challenges so much they want to farm them all in the first day. This leaves players like me in a situation where we must cater to the crowd or just stop playing. (I think someone actually suggested this.)
The issue I present is not how to complete challenges but rather how to play the game while others are trying to complete challenges.

Re: April 20th Vengeance Only..
I mean a link to show the original intent for Vengeance was to discover and fix some elusive issue in existing Cyrodiil.
It's pretty obvious right from the start that the intent was to rebuild Cyrodiil PvP in a way that would allow large populations.
We might have hoped they'd gotten a lot closer to what is live right now before performance started to degrade, but evidently that's not the case.
If they conclude that Vengeance is now about as complicated as they can make the game, that just means over the past 10 years what they added to the game vastly exceeded capacity of the infrastructure.
If anyone wants to be angry with ZOS over something, that would be it. Not that they're finally stop promising what they cannot deliver.

Re: PSA: Kill 100 bosses? Get to Cyro
You can get 100 by doing any trial. Pretty much every enemy in there is a boss
Re: PSA: Kill 100 bosses? Get to Cyro
I got 34 in a single nDSR run. I guess the elite mobs there count as bosses?
Re: Faction lock
Faction lock is awesome. Pick a team, fight for that team!
Very insightful, thank you for your in depth contribution to this matter.
Re: So wait, PvPers no longer have an event where we can earn Trade Bars by PvPing?
If I had to guess, because neither the devs want to pvp anymore, nor do they want it for the casual public.
Now there is no incentive for them to flock into Cyrodiil and the Imperial City to get farmed. That is likely the reason.

Re: QoL: Make CP number on character screen update for every character, PLEASE!
I always liked that they didn't update. If i was called away in the middle of doing writs I could see where I was up to without the faff of extra logins. It's one of the things I miss now I'm at cap

Re: The Vestige’s mortality and afterlife status in ESO after reclaiming their Soul?
The main thing I’m trying to figure out is whether the Vestige is actually restored to normal mortality at the end of the main quest, or whether they remain a permanent exception to the usual Elder Scrolls afterlife rules.
As I understand it, the Vestige is originally sacrificed to Molag Bal and turned into a Soul Shriven. That means they are no longer functioning like a normal mortal. Their ability to return after death is tied to that condition. Later, they become re-attuned to Nirn, which seems to change where and how they reform, but does not clearly explain whether that state is ever fully undone.
The confusing part is that the Vestige does eventually reclaim their soul, but even after that, the game still treats them as effectively exempt from permanent death. I know gameplay and lore are not always the same thing, so I’m trying to figure out whether that continued respawning is just a gameplay mechanic or whether it is meant to still be true in-universe.
What makes this harder is that the Vestige seems to override other normal afterlife rules too. Normally, if someone is a werewolf or a vampire, a Daedric Prince can have claim over their soul when they die, which overrides the standard racial afterlife. But the Vestige can also be a werewolf or vampire and still continues to respawn anyway, which makes it seem like the Vestige condition overrides even those override rules.
So my main questions are:
* After the Vestige gets their soul back, are they supposed to be able to die properly at some point?
* Is their continued resurrection after the main quest just gameplay, or is it still lore-accurate?
* Does the Vestige still age normally, or could they be effectively ageless?
* If the Vestige eventually dies, would they go to their normal racial afterlife, or does their unique condition still supersede that?
* Is there any canon source that actually clarifies whether reclaiming their soul fully restores them to ordinary mortal status?
Basically, I’m asking whether the Vestige’s soul restoration resets them back to normal, or whether they remain a one-of-a-kind anomaly whose death and afterlife no longer follow the usual rules.
Basically once you become a vestige, or a daedra that never goes away, The vestige is immortal, they can become a vampire or werewolf, or like stay unafflicted but their daedric soul, which basically merges with their mortal soul, remains there forever. The Vestige is forever immortal, they cannot die, however the vestige is kind of a unique timewound, which I kind of wonder if Ithelia or Mora fixed that because before that for the vestige the year was always 582, which was the year of their death. So It think for others it likely would be 583/584 in the timeline, but for the vestige it was always 582. That is my theory. So its possible the timewound was fixed with them. However they still are not bound by normal time and that explains why they can do any content in any order. The vestige is immortal, they are a daedra. Or a mortal who became a daedra.
The only way the vestige could die is by a daedric princes power used to basically render them unable to return,, or by the relics of the divine crusader with the blessing of tiber septim which allows someone to go into the spirit realm to face off against the actual spirit of a daedra/mortal soul which basically kills the soul. or the usage of Numidum against them to wipe them from existence.
THe daedra even with soul shriven, likely consider them still mortals even though immortal because the way the daedra view mortals. Becoming a daedric vestige doesn't change the predisposition, this is also why Daedric princes call vampires and werewolves mortals. So that logic likely applies to soul shriven too, and other daedric corruptions that give immortality.
Re: Companion progression is extremely slow and unpleasant
I maxed them all out on a 2XP event popping a few 150% XP scrolls I collected doing solo pulls in spellscar.
The levels flew by super-fast because you can accumulate 100 000XP per pull. Even more if you are enlightened.
