Can you believe it, DRAGONS, IN YOUR OWN HOMELAND!?

An addon I wish would be picked up by another author is NPCMuter. I think that one would make a lot of us happy if it worked correctly. It hasn't been updated since 2016.

I posted a forum addon request on ESOUI.com. Please visit it and let the authors know you'd like to see NPCMuter taken over (supported) by another author, or that someone creates a brand new addon that saves our sanity.

Once something is implemented in the game, it stays. Even if it is annoying and/or completely useless.

Example:

Remember the murkmire-prequel-Quest? No? No wonder, it is long past, well over a year now.
But now login the game, press M and search for a zone without a quicktravel wayshrine. A zone that is only a little spot of swamp, that just exists for landing there ONCE in a quest, travelling ONCE to a temple, and later descend it and get on the boat and out again. No reason and no way to get to there or return there outside of the quest, no nothing there, and no wayshrine. Yet the Zone Norg-Tzel is part of the official ESO map system. And no one knows why. Its teaser function has certainly overlived itself for a long time now.

If you cannot get rid of a dead map, you certainly won't get rid of annoying NPC babble.
I also greatly dislike those two elsweyr guys in mournhold, doing dailies with several chars there. Also don't like the ones at Belkarth wayshrine.

Everyone, JUST RELAX!

It's almost that time of the year! Can you hear it?

Yes, they have now joined the annoying chorus of:
'Comrade, a word!'
'Do you know how long I've been looking for you?!?!?'
'Excuse me, I have a message for you'
'A moment please?'
'VESTIGE!!!'
'Hold! Speak to me before entering Mournhold, citizen!'

And others I'm sure I'm forgetting right now

ESO really needs an adventurer's board where we can pick up notices from that start the quests - and until then those damn NPCs should stay silent!

The argonian voice acting is possibly the worst.

DO WE REALLY HAVE TO REGISTER TO ENTER THE CITY

"It's Here!"

Hopefully they will remove them now the season is over

Can you believe it? That annoying Imperial and Khajiit won't stop going on about dragons. What are you going to do?

This one does not know, but he really wishes they would just shut it.

FierceSam

I wouldn’t mind but

I BLOODY SAVED THE WHOLE OF ELSWEYR. I KILLED THE DRAGONS

Where’s my recognition? Eh saved your bloody homeland and this is the thanks I get

Yeah that incredibly annoying and immersion breaking.
This is the main reason of why I cut dialogue sound..
Why can't we just mute them w/o have to take them u_u

Which quest? I just did the entire Southern Elswyer line, killed a bunch of dragons and they still won't shut up!

Are you telling me that the list above can all be turned off eventually, but this one can't?

Vanya

And then people telling me I complained about Anchor noise that is ripping eardrums of every creature. Tis all relative my friend. I do not find it annoying,but yet I find annoying when an Anchor pops next to the city. For some tis the greatest sound ever, also everywhere you go the things are meant to repeat. I find it odd how some players get easily irritated about one sentence but there are other things that do not bother them at all,Hm.

I think these two should stay, Dragons are still a menace.

[snip] There are same lines,sounds and bound to be repeated. The issue in your case is perhaps you are annoyed by tone or maybe you dislike cats. Every time you teleport to city, instance everything you do basically repeats itself even you make it creative at the best, you will hear same lines often. Such is the nature of MMO.

Nothing that needs some urgent matter to resolve.

P.S. I would understand if sound persists 90% of time and follows you everywhere you go, its just a city and you can leave the spot, problem solved.

What I also love is the presence of Lyris in Davon’s Watch when my character has just been handed the quest to rescue her from Coldharbour.

VDoom1

Do the writs in Alinor. That's one of the few places not plagued with couriers or stalkers.

The dead returned to life, By Hircine's hands I still can't believe it...

If only we could snark back at repetitive NPCs.
"Dragons? Really? Where?"
"Elsweyr!"
"Elsewhere? Oh, thank goodness! I was worried about them here."

Please, ZoS, please, do implement this. Or just give me access to the code and I'll do it myself.

For the OP, you haven't met Stuga, have you?

If you’re not hearing it in your sleep and dreams yet, then you’re fine still. ^^

'Comrade, a word!''

My assassin character was once in a city (I forget which) doing a contract for the Dark Brotherhood. I located my target and used the Blade of Woe on him. Guess who ran up at that precise moment and shouted that line? Yeah, got bounty. Also, I remember that one time when my thief was trying to pickpocket people near Wayrest Fighters Guild and every time she was about to do it, Bera ran to her and shouted "The Guild requests your help!" Apparently not even stealth can deter her. Oh, Bera, Bera... Her dedication sure is admirable but her timing and ability to read situations need some work.

The quest billboard thing would be perfect for non-current DLCs. After all, there already are quests that are started in a similar way (like the Ravenwatch questline IIRC).

EDIT: Edited to correct the latter Bera quote.

Even quickly using the wayshrine to get away doesn't work, the dialogue follows through to the loading screen, unless it's in the same zone, I noticed it stops immediately for whatever reason.

Destai

Lol, this request is 2+ years old and has been happening for like every week.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Adrikoth @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_MattFiror @zos_billE
When are you guys going to acknowledge the issue?

I'd expect some communication like this, just based on my professional experience:

"Yes, we acknowledge this is a frustrating and frequent point for many of you. While we cannot promise it'll be changed, we'll relay your feedback to the development team."

Firestar_

It's HERE

Seriously, they actively changed things, please just do it again.

Veles

Do you know how long dragons in your own homeland 've been looking for you, comrade?

Tensar

It dosn't make sense to hear this when we didn't even start the Elsweyr Chapter. Lore Breaking.

AnonomissX

Whenever I hear her start it up, I finish it up to myself as "This one does not know, but hope his family safely finds your head floting downstream in Riverhold".

Cheers me up considerably

Luke_Flamesword

I really hope that in this year chapter there will be side quests where you kidnap these two, take them to Oblivion, to highest tower in Dagon's realm and push them into lava hearing only "Can you belieeevvvvvvveeeeeeeee..."

Lindsey

I ended up buying the cat banker because I was sick of hearing 'Praise Vivec' everytime I travelled to my home.

Waseem

Wanna cry me a river? go ahead
maybe you can float your way out of Craglorn



Warriors made out of stone
how are we supposed to fight such creatures?
......
Lots of gold for the taking
fighting in the arena is gotta be safier than guarding the caravans



MUTE THEM
I like to go to cities to see players dueling, spamming skills,mystical orbs, flaming in zone and local chat
not listen to repetive NPC lines about 40 times per hour

LISTENING TO THESE SAME NPC WORDS FOR OVER 6 YEARS IS TOXIC TO THE BRAIN

ImmortalElf13

Yes! This!

I should not be yelling "Shut the **** up!" at my monitor every time I get too close to these idiots. My neighbors don't need any more confirmation that I'm crazy.

Must be a clerical error!


People seem to have forgotten... "I'm gonna lose my shirt here!" woman by Belkarth wayshrine! grrrrrrr

So many of these annoying npc's that could really do with a bit of Blade of Woe!
