What’s your LEAST favorite zone and why?

Aurie

Coldharbour.

Just grim.

So I’m curious. With all the different zones, which is your LEAST favorite to do, and why?
For me...I DESPISE Reapers March. It’s spread out, and unlike other areas, you can’t run across map. Apparently the devs thought it smart to surround EVERY LITTLE THING by a mountain which makes this zone so hard to move around

Imperial City. There is no contest.

There isn't much on this game more annoying than losing Tel Var because a zerg decided to run you over. Cheap PvP deaths are annoying enough as it is. But when you add a penalty to it, it makes it intolerable.

WHAT... I know the PvP aspect can get really annoying, but it's such a cool area, both up in the districts and down in the sewers... nothing else like it in the game.

I guess I'm just not as impressed with running around in a sewer as you are. The city area looks cool I suppose (in a nightmarish sorta way) but not nearly cool enough to make up for it's annoying design. Out of all the areas in the game - this is easily the zone I least enjoyed exploring. I hate being ambushed by players while fighting and losing most of my stones. It's just aggravating.

If they had a PvE version of the zone I might would have enjoyed it more.

Oh, totally respect your opinion there- the ambush factor is super aggravating. I've been lucky and not experienced it more than a handful of times, but that doesn't seem to be the norm.

Shadowfen and murkmire. Swamps are depressing. Coldharbour is a bright Ray of sunshine in comparison. The dismounts in ankle deep water are irritating but mainly swamps are just a place for disease, rot, death, and boredom. It's where everything is just waiting to die or has died already and don't know it. It's the nursing home of zones. Can't stand it.

Mettaricana

Anything swamp... half of morrowind,shadowfen,murkmire im so sick of alligators and mosquitos and giant ticks and vagplants

StormeReigns

Forums of Official- too many players not enough loot.

Dreyloch

Coldharbor!

Worst zone to traverse ever, if all you want is the skyshards. I guess you can buy them now. But sometimes people just prefer to hunt them down themselves =/

ayu_fever

murkmire and shadowfen.

i absolutely freakin HATE argonians!!!
they are NOT people! they are objects hollow of spirit and meaning.

DARK ELF MASTER RACE

Elara_Northwind

Malabal Tor! The whole place just feels sickly to me, damp and unattractive, it's a pain to get around, and the fact that you have to do the whole quest on every character in the first town to unlock it is really annoying

WhiteCoatSyndrome

Summerset, easily. Such a disappointment. So bland, too much stupidity in the major questlines (main story and Psijics), yet ANOTHER variation on the 'woman wants you to find her dog and husband' quest (we already had THREE), and while some of the other sidequests were good a large number of them could have been dropped anywhere else in the Dominion without looking out of place. Nothing about Summerset is special.

With the proper combination of carts and navigators it's possible to get to Malabal Tor. From Vuhlkel Guard you can take a trip to Elden Root in Grahtwood, from there go to Greenshade and from there to Malabal Tor. That should light up a wayshrine in each zone, just don't forget to find the nearest wayshine at each town.

I hate Auridon, khnarthies roost, bleakrock isle and stros mkai

The zones are horrilbly done and they still have no homes on them, even though I would appreciate a home in the frozen bleakrock isle area

Auridon has 3 homes, Khenarthi’s Roost and Stros M’kai have 1 each.

Stormhaven seems quite empty and bland to me. Rivenspire is only good in the north, with the windmills and butterflies. Took too long for the first time how to get to the south in Bangkorai.
Wrothgar's cliffs can be frustrating, but I know most of the openings by now. Same can be said about the 3 woodelf zones with this particular problems. Let's add Reapers march and it's gigantic chopped slab of rocks to the list.
In Stonefalls, lava is the warmest colour. Deshaan is alright but so wide across the horse has to stop for fuel. Shadowfen and Murkmire? Argonians. Clockwork city and Coldharbour? Too much brass, too much blue and grey - hard on the eyes.
Craglorn is ok, but texture glitches love that place, same as Cyrodiil North region. That open zone is quite nice when you are not jumped by 10 leaping dks at once.

In every zone there is something that can be annoying, the worst is when it is not countered by dropping good selling sets or having dailies, an incentive to put up with the terrain, the designs, anything that's not your tea. After you are done questing, there is no reason to go back to malabal-greenshade-shadowfen etc. No ideal city, no ideal trade placement, no money making option.

I hate Wrothgar. I know many people love it, but I don't go there unless I desperately have to collect the skyshards. Second most hated is Murkmire. Whoever designed that zone needs to get smacked to the face with a poison plant.

Nordic__Knights

I hate all over land because it is too easy bring back craghorn make it hard again give us players a reason to be here

In terms of looks: Alik'r. The story is great and the music is fantastic (especially at night), but the zone itself is still a huge pile of sand. About six and a half quadrillion grains of sand...

And in terms of story/quests: Greenshade. In the final parts of the zone each quest has you go all over a Point of Interest, and then a 2nd time in a shadowy version of the same area. And the quests themselves are set up in an annoying way

Not going to leave out EP here, so I'm going to mention Stonefalls as well. Lava = bad...

Eastmarch.
Snow, Skyrim and awesome soundtrack (Moons of Evening Star).

Grianasteri

Got to be Rivenspire for me, simply based on aesthetics, that place is horrible and I cannot imagine why anyone would continue to live there.

Practically speaking, Id actually lean towards Elswyr, because it seems to take forever to get anywhere, having to go around mountains and up and down all the time etc. I know there are other areas similarly broken up, it just feels a bit more frustrating in Elswyr, though it does look lovely.

akl77

Murkmire, cos hardly ever got a reason to go there, it’s a tiny island and forgettable.

Hehe

olsborg

Cyrodiil, because of lagg. Otherwise it would be my favorite zone, then again I dont go into any other zones rly..the end result is that I dont play eso anymore

ImSoPro

Both black marsh zones. The terrain is so ridiculous to travel through when you haven’t found any wayshrines yet. I’m a blaze a direct path from point a to point b guy. I’m that guy scaling mountains so I don’t have to go around, but a lot of times that’s not possible in black marsh and you have to follow the roads. Takes way too long.

Lady_Sleepless

I hate Craglorn. Worst map design and I really don't care for the Aesthetic.

Dark_Lord_Kuro

Alik'r
Sand, sand everywhere
The story isnt that good
Sand
I dont really like the redguard lorewise they are my least favorite race
Sand
Every thing is the same colors even the building
Did i say sand?

Even coldharbour look better with the glowing "water"
I also like other sandy area like elsweyr, reaper march and hew's bane more

Blodreina

Shadowfen and the rest of argonian zones ... slave swamps .)

ghastley

Norg-Tzel. Hard to get there, not much to do.

Tsar_Gekkou

Shadowfen is ugly as hell.

Cyrodiil by a landslide, and not just because it is a PvP zone. It's a bunch of open space devoid of much of anything interesting or any actual content. There is almost no point to go there for any reason other than PvP, which I suppose was the intention.

But there are some quirky little additions you can stumble upon. Like the sweeping skeleton or those walking ghosts. I think those random finds make the area more interesting than it seems (if you have a fully trained mount that is, plodding around on a slow mount would be tedious as hell).
