They also need to fix the AD quest marker to be on the ladder like the other alliances. Now it will route you all the way through the underground to another faction's home base, as if you could go up their ladder.

If you are still on the tower, you can climb back down through trapdoor into your base. I like to go back and forth collecting all 6 dailies before I jump down.
But once you jump off the tower, you need another way back to your base.
FlopsyPrince wrote: »This thread is talking about avoiding all those "zone changes" that now have an extra delay built in.
Things should not be tedious for no valid reason. Perhaps require going up and down the first time, but the core zone quest line handles that already.

FlopsyPrince, I was answering someone's question about whether they could go back down the ladders right now, not opining about about the topic of the thread. To their question, yes, you can, as long as you have not jumped down from the tower.
But since you asked, I'd be delighted with a quest board of dailies in the Sewers that let me pick up all 6 at one time because then I wouldn't have to travel up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down, and up again before starting on the six dailies.
If the quest board only let me pick up 1 daily at a time, as is true of most daily quest boards, I would much prefer the current system. Annoying as it would be to continue going up and down 5+ times, I'd rather not have to go all the way back to the Sewer Base before I could work on a different daily. If I die questing in the Elven Gardens because it's overrun with enemies, I prefer to be able to quickly swap to a different district's quest while retaining my progress in the Elven Garden's daily for sometine when the enemy has moved on.
So perhaps what I should say to ZOS is that I want the Sewer Base to have a way to have all six dailies at once. If that means 6 Quest Boards for 6 Districts, so be it.

I must have misunderstood then, sorry.
I completely agree with the value of a single board with ALL dailies. I would not want 1 at a time, since it is a pain to get back to base after each, whatever method is used.
Now if I had a way to climb back up to the starting platform....

I don't know, which is why I asked. I doubt it will matter for me, but it would be one way to speed things up if you were in a group.

Even if you load right away every time, it's still 11 load screens before you can start doing the quests.

It's fine - like you, I'm not sure why ZOS went with such a tedious and clearly zoning-intensive method. There's no reason for it now that they want to require the district dailies for events. I can't imagine that the effect of players zoning in and out and in and out between sewers and districts to pick up the dailies is somehow less impactfull than just giving us access to all six dailies at once from the sewers. It's not like it's even about "being strategic" about which daily you chose because the Districts can change hands quickly and it's actually more strategic to be able to shift to a different daily while retaining your progress on the last one.
I don't get it.

The quests are shareable. I have a character holding all 6 to share with guildies, and when in a group, we go up separate ladders to pick up the quests.Kalik_Gold wrote: »I don't understand why this is hard.... fine as is.

It's 11 unnecessary load screens if you want to do all 6 dailies.

Oh no!
Yes, you can go down the ladders. You just can't go back up to the spot where the ladders are if you jumped down.
But if you die and respawn at a ladder, you can go back down to the base as well.
for those interested, if you want a quick back to base from IC, just jump to a low pop campaign in cyrodil, wait a minue then pop back into IC
I like the idea of a pickup board in the main base.

Needing to do that (which I do all the time) shows the system is broken.
This is requested for every event and completely ignored every time by ZOS. Seems like such a simple thing to do and it would be a nice QOL improvement.
Instead for whatever reason they continue to fail to do anything or even comment on it much like the green tree micromanagement failure. They must think it is fun and engaging watching a loading screen or failure to even get to a loading screen.
Stay safe everyone and ZOS please fix the green tree micromanaging
