What's most annoying zone in your opinion?

AzuraFan

Any zones with mobs every three inches. Some of them have been mentioned in the thread already.

Also zones with lots of areas of interest (dolmens, WBs, etc.) inconveniently located too far from wayshrines, or requiring a lot of swimming.

Dr_Con

Sanctum Ophidia

endgamesmug

Anywhere there is a concentration of duellers/duelling

Pelanora

Grahtwood. Navigating the trees and the terrain absolutely sucks. And that one ruddy bird... one song, over and over.

UntilValhalla13

Shadowfen will always be the dumpster fire of ESO.

Lena_HJ

Malabar Tor. No doubt.

Carcamongus

There are so many zones, but what comes to my mind is Reapers' March. Inconveniently placed wayshrines, bloody annoying topography that forces me to go around a great distance to get from point A to point B and uninteresting mobs (I loathe ESO goblins - they're not goblin-like enough - and wasps). Its saving grace is Rawl'ka, which is a very nice place for writs and other practical things.

The island is so small that it's completely dominated on the map by Wayshrines. High Isle ALMOST has the same issue except it has that little island in the south-east so you can click on something.

Are you referring to the world map, as per the other thread?



Out of interest, what is it about Malabal Tor that others don't like but don't/won't elaborate on?

Jaraal

Any zone with annoying waves of trash mobs like mosquito moms, fetcherfly hives, etc.

Ain’t nobody got time to stand around killing 1 HP mobs.

Hapexamendios

I have to go with Shadowfen.

Yes, I was referring to the world map. I'm not sure what other thread you are referring to though. Was this a comment I made about the world map for Galen being too small and wayshrines cover the area, making it impossible to select on PC without first traveling there?

I'll admit this is a pedantic issue, and there are much more egregious zone issues I have, but this one is the most recent and minor enough to be fixable.

• We could be allowed to scroll/zoom in further
• The High Isle map could have a small Galen selectable; and vice-versa (similar to Fargrave for the Deadlands, or Western Skyrim for Greymoor Caverns, or The Reach for Arkthzand Caverns)
• Wayshrine icons could be smaller, or at least adjust size as you zoom in
• There could be a selectable, circular area around both High Isle and Galen that zooms in closer; the zones are small enough.
• Galen could have arbitrary islands added to the coast that allow players to select the zone

Vvardenfell: getting to some locations if you are in a hurry is an utter pain. Too many narrow paths with twists and turns.
Whoever designed that zone hated ppl with fast mounts.

Runners-up: Shadowfen and Murkmire for the same reasons.

Honourable Mention: High Isle\Amenos\Galen\N. Elsweyr\Shadowmurkfenmire... BRIDGES
There are certain designed bridges... You know the ones. Where you are going full tilt on your mount and you hit a 2" high lip on the bloody bridge and it drags you to a crawl, like you just rode through concrete.
HATE.
THAT.

Another Shadowfen here, but now I kind of feel bad seeing it get so much hate haha I just feel like it's one of the zones where everything looks the same which makes it even more difficult to navigate through.... I just love constantly getting dismounted in little streams/puddles, you know? Super fun.
Vvardenfell is a close second though. I hate when I have a survey there haha it's also the zone I saved for last to quest in.... after I finished all the other zones, I think it took me a few months to convince myself to just finally get it over with and clear out Vvardenfell. Which is kind of really sad because I thought I would like it, but for some reason ESO's take on that area just wasn't a hit for me.

ooo, that is a good point. I don't particularly dislike Shadowfen, but I will admit that small swimming puddles in swampy areas that continuously dismount you... very annoying.

TheImperfect

Definitely Malabal Tor. I love the atmosphere and sounds and beauty of the zone and despite it making me swear like a sailor every visit, would not change it.

Taggund

Used to be Murkmire, now it's Galen.

Speed bumps. All that's missing is the Justiciars with their ticket books!

Finedaible

Vvaardenfell, but only because it is an immense chore to travel anywhere to do anything. The dailies were incredibly annoying to do because of it. Second place would be North and South Elsweyr for the same reasons, those delves in the south portion are some of the most annoying to navigate.

OutLaw_Nynx

Greenshade… awful design.

Kaelthorn_Nightbloom

Easy question. Malabal Tor with its low texture rocks and tree roots that block every path. Many cliffs are found throughout the landscape and the constant change in elevation makes it impossible to go from point A to B without going through C, D, and E. All which aggro mobs along the way. It's one of the most frustrating zones to navigate.

phairdon

Choice between Elsweyr zones and Murkmire. Murkmire wins.

tomofhyrule

I have to vote Northern Elsweyr and its complete lack of wayshrines and very same-y terrain that just makes you wanted in circles trying to find a way up the cliffs.

Bankori, a pain to get around and cut in half to boot!

DreamyLu

For me, generally, an area where I can't do one step without fighting something (even if easy killing) is annoying and rapidly boring. For example, Malabal Tor, Murkmire and as far as I recall Shadowfen are such ones.

I therefore very rarely return to those, usually only if I have a survey or a treasure.

What zone you hate the most? Why?

Maybe Vivec City because of all the players bunny-hoping everywhere with their neon-glowing circus animals. It pulls me out of immersion and feels like I'm at Disneyland... or the zoo.

Jarl_Ironheart

Shadowfen. Alligators, Kagouti, Mosquitos, Wamasu, and puddles of water that are actually 80ft deep everywhere you turn.

colossalvoids

Malabal Tor easily.

fizl101

Vvaardenfell, with an honorable mention for N and S Elsweyr

Think lots of zones are worse, Malabar Tor come up a lot here and its troublesome to navigate.
