Eyevea/Earth-Forge wayshrines plea

AdamBourke

Dear Zenimax Online Studios...

I know this comes up about once a month or so - but would you PLEASE make Eyevea and the earth forge accessible by wayshrine? There's a lot of people saying it is intentionally this way... but that doesn't mean you can't change it.

Reasons for doing this:

1) It's kind of on the map already - sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't. Even if it's acting as normal - it LOOKS like a glitch, and ahs left many people confused.

2) It's not fun having to wayshrine to Riften (my go-to city right now), run around to the front of the fighter's guild, say, then find the portal inside that guild and then end up... AT THE WAYSHRINE ANYWAY???

3) I suspect the reason for forcing you through the portals could be to make you go to the guilds more? Yeah. No-one is stopping in them. IF you want us to visit - make something interesting happen IN them, not THROUGH them. Put a duelling arena in one maybe? Or some enchantment/spellcrafting stations?

4) This is my personal main reason for wanting this fixed. I Like to see where I have discovered on the map. The zoomed out one of all of tamriel. As I progress and explore, I reveal more wayshrines on this map. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. I have no sense of accomplishment that I have finished the guild quests - by this map. It saddens me.

I think four reasons for two tiny little changes that will take some guy about 10 minutes to do (if that), is quite a good case. So PLEASE change this.

There's something wrong with the Eyevea Wayshrine anyways; even when you get close to it, it's not discovered yet. Only when you click on it (like when you'd use it), it's registered as discovered.

I never had this problem with Eyevea, but I did have it with the Earth Forge one...

Are you sure? Because with all 8 of my characters I had this problem (ok, not really a "problem", but it never was discovered until I clicked on it). But I'm not aware of a wayshrine in the Earth Forge (I never go back after finishing the quest).

But either way, I agree with your OP, going back to the guilds first is kinda nonsense.

I didn't even think it was possible to "discover" those two wayshrines. There's no point in "discovering" them if you can't use them. I agree with the OP, and would also like to see it made possible to travel into them.

Edit: Asked for ESO Live:

Eyevea and the Earth Forge both have wayshrines. Why is it not possible to use the wayshrine system to fast travel into them (once their associated storylines are complete)? Is this something we may see in the future?

In the beginning you could indeed travel to them, they weren't on the map but if you clicked on where Eyevea is you'd see the map and you could travel to its wayshrine (assuming questline was completed ofc). You can still see the map but as mentioned the wayshrine doesn't appear unless you're already there. Same with Earth Forge, in the beginning you could travel to it by clicked its location (somewhere near the northern border of Bangkorai). I guess they wanted them to remaind more secluded and made the guild portals the only way to get there.

The portal is present in all the guildhalls in the major city of each zone.... why do you complain? and it is not you need to go there every time you log in. if you run one of the armor you just need to go there at upgrade time

Darlgon

Why go back to either after finishing the mage's guild / fighter's guild story except to use the forges? I mean.. I think I went back ONCE to Eyevea and never to Earth Forge since then, to make a friend a set of armor she wanted.

Enodoc

I think quite a lot of people use those locations (particularly Eyevea) for roleplay and socialising. But I think how the locations are used is besides the point; they have wayshrines, so the wayshrines should work. Either get the wayshrines working, or remove them completely. As they stand right now, the wayshrines in Eyevea and the Earth Forge are a half-finished system.

I suspect both will be the starting point for extended FG / MG quest lines at some later point in time, though I would think a trophy item that ports you to either wouldn't be that out of line.
