The poll does not claim to represent every single player. What it does show is that among those motivated enough to engage, frustration is overwhelming compared to enjoyment. That is valuable feedback in itself, because engaged players are the ones who sustain guilds, organize events, and keep communities active.

Hence the bias. The desire to complain far out-weighs the desire to compliment.

You know how everyone is lamenting the downfall of New World? How there was a spate of posts here recently praising it and and how ZOS should learn from what NW did? Go to the NW forums, before the announcement they were moving to maintenance mode, and you'll see a litany of the same complaints you see here, in the same sort of numbers.

Listen for a second ok. Just listen.

Probably vast majority of us posting on these forums are fans of the game. We play regularly and have done so for a while. It doesn't mean new folks aren't welcome, in fact it would be nice if more people who played ESO would come here and comment.

When an opinion is provided, most of the time it's because we care about the game. Ok. If we didn't care, then we wouldn't come here. Alright. In fact, I would say it's hard enough to get people to care these days about the things that they should be doing, much less a video game, but here we are. Not out of hate. Out of concern and our love for ESO. That's why many have put in time on the forums. None other reason other than that, unless it's a streamer or whatever and I can't speak to that.

The OP, when opening this thread, they decided to bundle and label everyone with criticism, by extension anyone who disagreed with them as haters. Ok, that's not nice either. In fact, that's a great way to ensure no one follows you. Your first message to the community is one completely lacking any form of empathy or compassion for those like me who don't agree with them, but then they put it on us for getting mad about their selfish, self-centered and apathetic behavior.

People aren't dumb. People will be people, but many of us have put in so much time and money on this game, plus people we've met/known, for years and so we just don't want to see it get flushed down the drain ok. Pardon us for caring. We're so sorry we care enough to spend our time and energy posting online, not to mention all the time and money invested in this game. Our opinions matter and as long as some keep pretending, we don't exist, then there's always going to be this giant gap between the people playing/paying for this game and the selfish apathetic crowd who think it's their right to lock us out.

And that's exactly what they're doing and so here we are. Pardon us all for caring and having a heart for ESO and not agreeing with people like this OP person trying to lock us out. Most would agree we can't help what happened to New World either. Amazon just did it because they can. But I have seen several well-known streamers still running vids about the game and producing new content for it. The fans didn't give up on New World, Amazon did. Just like their workers. Why the fans guilty?

I've tried a few times to complete the quest. First time the place was empty. Second time, everything was happening! We downed the bosses, did everything, went to the room at the very end and could not destroy anything. We tried to use the harpoon/rope thing that pulls you back across the gap but there wasn't one in reach - we wanted to double-back to see if we missed something.

Like a good soldier, I faithfully logged bug reports and encouraged everyone in zone chat to do the same.

And like everyone else here, I'm feeling the weight of time pressing me down - only a few days left to complete the 7-day event.

I feel foolish. I was defending the game. But everyone in zone chat was so upset. I've done the daily grind at the camp on several characters, trying to bring down the wall.
Calling this broken event anti-climactic is an understatement.

A separate issue is the skyshards that think I've collected them. Now I don't want to spend the time to explore the eastern zone because you may do some sort of rollback and all of my time would be wasted, which would just lead to more frustration.

I don't want a refund - I just want the 7-days to re-start from when everything gets fixed.

Is there no Change Manager involved in this expansion?

The Writhing Fortress was a lot of fun! everyone on PC-EU seemed to enjoy it (from the people I've seen talk about it) however it is a shame it is a 1 week thing then it goes.

Perhaps you could make it a once a week enterance activity, it could reward the following;

- New skins for Sorc Pets (Summon a different daedra)
- New furnishings like a skybox with the massive daedra looming over your house
- Azure Feet effect

these are a few of my suggestions as it seems like a waste for it to dissapear.

Thoughts?

Even though I got writhing fortress to work today, I do believe the abysmal state of its playability does warrant some sort of compensation. I understand things don't always work out, but given that some of these issues were on the PTS and not worked out before going live is something that stings somewhat. Minimal bugs are one thing, having to cycle through instances until you find one that works is another. I did enjoy the writhing fortress once I played a working instance, but that shouldn't have been preceded by me cycling through bugged instance after bugged instance until I gave up and went to sleep last night. In my eyes, it costs nothing to send players a little care package of some sort, but it costs good will from your player base not to.

There have been a lot of tips I have read about here, but the one I use multiple times every day is the one about using R2 and L2 to quickly scroll to the next category in the UI menus.

It saves a lot of wear and tear on my fingers and hands.

Known issue: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/683994/writhing-wall-event-known-issues#latest

If you got all of the WSolstice skyshards before U48 dropped, then the game assumes you have the ESolstice ones as well. It will be fixed in a future incremental

its a known bug, if your character completed all western skyshards before east solstice opened, they wont be visible to them

can finish the achievement by doing skyshards on alts, or wait for the bug fix

it always just blows my mind how they drop big updates and casually go on weekend, leaving community with 3 days of broken content they payed for. smart move to sell it early so no one can refund. maybe it was better to "adjust" metrics that way that phase 3 would have started on Monday?

Wow. I have never experienced something as much of a mess as the Writhing Fortress is.

First off, even before getting in there I saw Prince Azah by the Meridian Lens talking about what a great victory it was - so that's weird right off the bat.

Then getting in there with everyone else in the middle of battle, I had no idea what really was happening. I heard Raz talking about levers and others talking about stones, but I didn't even see what those were. So I feel like I was missing most of the story going on around me.

I apparently got the title of Wall Breaker, but I have zero idea what I actually did to achieve that.
