Thanks ZOS, new DLC is super nice. I just started new story now.
I enjoyed new Dolman mission already.

But...I don't want to live in mushroom house. Why dark elves love those creepy spore filled house so much?

the house you can purchase in necrom isnt a mushroom house

Well, I don't know the fact that. But after the some side quest of new zone,
I still can't accept Dark Elf's ordinary noble house. I just don't want to let my character
infected by dangerous spore. It's a almost "Last of Us".

Whatever you do, don't step on any of those Shroom Beetles, or their sticky juices and spores will get on you and you'll end up covered in mushrooms! Just kidding, but it would be funny if they made one of those random wilderness encounters like the one in High Isle with the terrified man and the coral crabs, except with someone who's terrified of being touched by shroom beetles and ends up looking like that new "mushroom pizza" mount.

Oboy. Here I have to admit that I was a total idiot when first starting the game. I bought base game (which came with Morrowind) and I REALLY loved meeting up with Jiub again.

And then.... I wound up on the MW beginning island. I wasn't impressed with Naryu (because I really have no use for Dunmer).

Later, when I was out on the island trying to figure out where I needed to go and what I needed to do.... there were these.... things....

Shroom beetles. Yeah. Harmless. But after years in TES.... I just wasn't sure....

I was impressed new creature design.( Part of it is same as Skyrim design though.)
It's not like plastic toy looking anymore. Good work.

Environment art asset model is also excellent. It's a most high quality I've ever seen in the ESO.

I want a house in Apocrypha... hopefully they create a nice big house with the cool green glow so my two Arcanists can have their own sanctum there. Funny how Azandar has a sanctum in Skywatch, that was a total shock for me, but apparently that had something to do with Telenger.

I thought about Tel Galen, but it's not as cool looking as I had remembered. I saw it was for sale again, went there, and was like, "That's it?" I thought I remembered it having TWO portal levels, not just the one. When doing the Necrom main story, you come across a house that has multiple portal levels and that's what I had hoped Tel Galen was, but NO.

So I'm trying to find an Arcanist sanctum that would work for both my Arcanists... one Altmer, one Argonian. I figure the only place that would work would be a location in Apocrypha. I have several houses across Tamriel, but none of them seem appropriate for my Arcanists.

Agreed, great content. As someone mentioned above the environment art is really nice. I’m the type of player that really pays attention to that. Gorne public dungeon was amazing.

They did a great job with the story and art. But game mechanic wise this xpac is not very fun.

The tot matches take forever and the rewards are pretty mundane now.
The new world event is horrible compared to previous chapters.
The new wbs seem to require (in some cases), more players then are currently participating in the zone….

I want to see how the story plays out, but really my passion for the game just pretty much evaporated with this chapter.

(Maybe I should make my own post, but I really don’t want to do one that seems like just another “I am quitting” thread.)

It seems that some of Necrom has been their response to "open world is too easy"... so they gave us more difficult content that the overwhelming majority of players will not participate in. I think that approach is just short-sighted. They should stop regarding this crowd and continue making content that appeals to the masses- you know- the solo questers, casual players, etc. Then they also need to go back and nerf older 'world event' content so that it can be done more easily solo (having them scale to number of players would be the right way to go) because many of the older zones are dead and those who are there don't respond to shouts for help.

I have yet to get into it because of work but I am looking forward to playing it over the next few weeks.

I just don’t understand wanting only easy content in the game. I think it’s high time they started sprinkling more difficult delves and bosses into the game. What could be better than a delve that can be played solo for a challenge, or done with a group of four like a dungeon?
As a solo challenge it’s far less of a time commitment than the two, count ‘em (2) solo arenas we have in the game.
Complaints about having to hunt down and kill five seekers are completely unwarranted. Honestly, I’ve run around in the zone for hours at a time with five ichors in my pocket. If anyone threw it out there in zone chat that they wanted to do the Bastion I’d be happy to run it with them even if it was just them. I just enjoy running it.

There is a difference between adding additional difficult content, and stripping content away from one group to please another.

They could have added a flexible arena type content, aimed at 1-4 players (that you are describing).

World Events were for everyone. Now they are not. That is the problem.

Wow @BlueRaven that's some news- that you're on your last legs with this game!

Well I just checked, I have 247 days left in my yearly subscription. So saying "I am leaving" does not mean a whole lot.

Maybe I will change my mind in 90 days.
Maybe they will change something in the game that will bring me back.
Maybe the (probable) patch on Monday fixes many of the pain points. Who knows...

I just finished the chapter. And I think I will do it once more on an actual arcanist to see if any of the dialogue changes. And after that... Well, we will see.

Pelanora

Thanks for replying.

I did not renew my sub.I wasn't sure, and I did it the day before it renewed, but I'm now feeling very good about that decision. I will see what next year is to bring, and will see then about re starting it.

I need the crew to stop being defeated by the size of their own code, and get on with bringing the whole game into the mid-2020s.....
