New Life Festival - essentially same as last year?!

MakoFore

"Essentially same as last year festival" dosen't quite roll of the tongue though.

Lyserus

witch festival at least have 2 more costume...

I hope they at least make a new imperial quest and some winter cloth...fur hood and bath tower doesn't really fit together

SinfulPrinc3ss

Same stuff but they threw lights in instead of sticks!

Fischblut

Better this time cause...

The first time you complete a New Life Festival quest, you'll unlock the Breda's Bottomless Mead Mug collectible. This mug doesn't only provide a nice swig of ale, but it also confers a two-hour 100% XP boost on your character!

No more going to this hell every two hours just to refresh buff



And finally...

Sword-Swallower's Blade memento
Juggler's Knives memento
Fire-Breather's Torches memento

Awesome! Proper mementos instead of consumables!

Aliyavana

yes, branch festival 2.0

maniac4maniac

How lazy should people be not to change texture of a mud ball to a snowball for the biggest fest of the year, really. Just 1 memento many people asked about :-/

Instead nothing with Christmas & NY spirit, just copy paste last year, repeatable events are the worst in ESO from the multiplayer games i play.

Was hoping for a new home too like the witches festival which you can buy with gold if you complete all the achievements, disappointed

FloppyTouch

Anyone have pics of the lights that are suppose to drop? If they are cool little Christmas like lights I’m going to farm the hell out of this but if they are just candles or a small white lamp I’m going to pass this year

ADarklore

I just care about the 100% XP boost... I have a couple new characters I want to level quickly.

feyii

The other items you previously only got as one-time-usables are now available as mementos. So there is new stuff to collect.

Azurya

and so what?

I was on a break last year, and there are many new players, it is fine it is the same^^^

Elsonso

Yeah, it is fine that it is mostly the same each year. Holidays are like that anyway, in real life. Annual tweaks, not reinventing.

luen79rwb17_ESO

My home will be full of Jester's banners and full of branches and full of lights this Christmas! And that's my whole Homestead experience so far LOL.

sevomd69

I have 14 max leveled toons...don't need the XP boost...so this festival is pretty much a "bah humbug" for me...

Reverb

Please no more jester banners. Please.

That is a different festival, but they are threatening to give us furniture, so we could have the New Life version of being buried in branches.

Sygil05

I don't really have a problem with this.... I got all the achievements and everything last year, but that doesn't mean other, newer players didn't.

anadandy

As someone who was one lousy recipe (Hissmer Fish Eye Rye) away from getting the achievement last year I say, bring on the repeat! I will find you gold recipe, and I will CONSUME YOU!!!

I am in general agreement, there is nothing wrong with the festivals being essentially the same every year.

I am excited about housing items for rewards, and do hope in the future some lore appropriate holiday decor will be added.

DeadlyRecluse

Missed this one last year, I'm kinda pumped.

I do wish they cycled the rewards a little more for these festivals, but I have no problems with the mechanics being recycled.

Yay I wanted the firebreather for ages! I wish it was an emote though like juggleflame or w/e

At least lights are more useful for decoration. The consumable items are no mementos so this is overall an buff.

The firebreather is an emote if you are using the Jester personally.

Yes, and the lights will probably sell better than the sticks in guild traders, at least the blue/purples and MW/CWC/Dwarven ones. Also, the lights aren't dropping for me as much as the sticks did.
