I want to point out something in the blog this comes from. I think that the writer is not seeing what's really going on.

"We knew black would be a popular color, and we chose not to make it hard to get. The artists designated one of our nine black dyes as the “best” and distributed the color, which was called Noxophilic Black, to the achievement for becoming a vampire. Another of the shades was given to a tough Trials achievement. When we went into testing for the system, the feedback was clear: some testers were unhappy that the “best” black (the one we thought would actually be less desirable) was tied to a difficult Trials achievement. The effect of rarity on desirability was fascinating."

Noxophilic Black isn't a saturated black, it's a dark grey. Even going back to Ultima Online, people can clearly see that when players want "black" as a color, they want black.. not some unsaturated, off-shade, dark grey. Thalmor Black (still a dark grey), Legate’s Black, Maormer-Eyes Gray, and Coldharbour Ash Black are ALL better, more saturated blacks, with probably the best being Legate’s Black.

People want black.. not grey. When you say it's being affected by "rarity," i think you're missing the fact that it's really being affected by the choice made by your artists. Making a REAL saturated black easy to get, and 10:1 the vast majority of the complaining goes away. Use the experience from UO.

That said, other than a bunch of the achievements still being bugged/broken/not in game/currently unachievable.... the system you've come up with is excellent; far, far, far better than just throwing out an RGB slider attached to a pot of dye like EQ did (the horrors... the horrors).

We'll be seeing rainbows after this. Only the unicorns are missing then.
So not really excited about update 3.

When i played ESO , i've always felt that there are some thing is missing here . I haven't realized what it is until yesterday . The thing that is missing in ESO , the thing that make a game online become real game online , it's a Capital , a big City , where people can come back when they feel tired after a long journey to trade, to talk or just stand to show off their new armor. I want to mention that every game online have their own main city , Such as Stormwind and Orgrimmar in WOW . I hope that Zenimax will focus on their real weakness , sometime just a little thing can become a boundary between life and death

I hope that Zenimax can group Guild Traders in just only 3-4 city , and make a system allow guildmaster can decor their store ( rent some musician , or make a big board to advertise ..etc ) . It will make a city to be more bustling.

You should make DUAL system to allow player challenge each other , to to make it work , plz nef Sneak system, sneak will make player to be translucent and hard to detect not to be invisible like we're having atm .

I'm strongly believe that you can do it

Is there anywhere that'll tell us the meaning of each of these symbols?
