Ouch, Merry Christmas ZoS on the weekly endeavor

zharkovian

30 Group bosses?
10 Patrolling Horrors?
3 Trials?
In the middle of an event that is a tall order this week.

I did a circuit of the WBs in Deshaan, and there were plenty of other people doing the same, and I'm already half-way done after an hour in that zone.
That was after getting my tickets and leveling a new character several levels running the New Life Quests.

It's a pretty bad combo of options, I agree with you OP.

EmEm_Oh

Shoulda been just the opposite for end of the year (i.e, Christmas) with this weekly.

Like maybe use a particular emote 20 times and get 1000 endeavor pts or even buy 10 trees from a guild trader and earn 2500 endeavors.

Normal asylum in clockwork is fastest way that or cloudrest in summer set

Rasoma

Well looks like time for me to work on that lead for the Oakensoul ring - at least it respawns pretty quick in 5-10 mins or so.

alienmz

Just run nCR three times and you finished the weekly after 30 mins. There are a lot of lfm request in Belkarth.

Danikat

I thought the same thing. I don't do trials and I'm only going to be online 3 days this week, with limited time each day so I'm not likely to get it done.

I know some people think of December as a quiet time when they're off work/school and have more quiet time at home, maybe whoever set up the endeavours is in that situation and assumed most ESO players would be too, but I'm pretty much the opposite. Aside from 2020 the last time I had a quiet Christmas and wasn't rushing around was when I was about 15.

AzuraFan

Agreed. I won't be doing the weekly. Got better things to do this week than wait around for WBs to spawn.

I've gotten involved in lots of posts that complain about endeavours, and pretty much always on the side of endeavours - but even I think it's too much this time.

The last time we had a high number of world bosses, it coincided with an event, which made it easier to do. This time it's a higher amount and at a busy time of year for people. The reward doesn't even reflect the effort.

I just hope the last week of the year makes up for it.

Yes, tougher than usual, and not just because it's in the middle of New Life, but because many of us are preparing for end-of-year IRL events.

Ah, this is perfect - a set that says "Skip me! Use the time for everything else you have going on this week..."

AcadianPaladin

Normally the WB weekly is 20 and that is fun. 30 is doable but crosses the line from fun to tedious. Recommend sticking with 20 for WB weekly endeavors.

Ditto. This is a ridiculous week IMO. I personally don't think it shows much goodwill or holiday spirit to their players to do a week like this during the holidays. My guild does an endeavor day today, so hopefully I can get it done later tonight or at least most and finish it off tomorrow. If not, I am not gonna sweat it.

Those are easy mode

Do a lap in IC and your done in an hour

I had two characters complete both bosses in Galen and the counter only showed two completed. I use two servers so I have 60 bosses to kill during an event, the week before Christmas and with a maintenance day. At the above rate, that could be 120 fights so I’ve given up 😬

30 group bosses is the easiest, if I wasnt leveling my Black Lightning Princess, a Heavenly Divine Black Catkin, I would be one of the dozen players in glenumbra nuking that tree wb near the wayshrine.

Yeah, that one did not need to be increased. There is zero justification for it. It makes feel like not doing it.

Come on? 30 wb is too easy. 1 wb per 5 minutes.
1 minute or less to nuke the poor basturd, lots of other players nuking on the same poor basturd.

Molydeus

Agreed OP. Really feels like ZOS is out of touch with their player base.

Not everyone can play at peak hours. When I'm able to play, it's not that way at all. Time zones are a thing you know.

Out of 3 trials one seems to be the fastest. 30 wb bosses is way too much and patrolling horrors way too overused to be fun anymore (it seems like every week has them as endeavors at this point).

That bug was supposed to have been fixed in the latest patch. I haven't tested it yet though.

November weekly: 10 Patrolling Horror. 240 SoE
December weekly: 10 Patrolling Horror. 250 SoE

November weekly: 20 WB. 250 SoE
December weekly: 30 WB. 250 SoE

Do you see the problem here, ZOS?

Just tested it. The boss is still bugged. Not the Chimera, the other one. Forget what it was. I killed 27 world bosses today lol.

If you do a circuit of the WBs in a given zone, you shouldn't need to wait for them to spawn-- if one is already dead, just skip it and head to the next one.

30 iworks out to
-- 4 or 5 a day for 7 days
-- 5 a day for 6 days
-- 6 a day for 5 days
-- 8 a day for 4 days
-- 10 a day for 3 days
etc.

If you will only be able to log in for a few days, 8 or 10 a day does seem like a bit much, but if you can join a WB group then hopefully you can knock it out in no time.

Same here, I'm at GMT+11, so my prime playing time quite often tends to be a bit underpopulated.

It has been 30 before (I remember farming MS gear in Deshaan that week), but this is the exact week for weekly endeavors to be a little less commitment-intensive.

That's weird. It counted for me on 2 different characters.

I thought it was fixed last patch, but apparently it got fixed today for PlayStation. So I was a day early.
