Are there less nodes, or is it just me?

Ok. I've played every day since Morrowind lauched. Both inside Morrowind and base game. I swear there are less nodes than there use to be. Maybe because of population increase? Just saying that I feel like I'm seeing less nodes.

✭Its all the people. First one to the node gets it and all that. When the herd thins out, you should see more.Power level to CP160 in a week:
Where is the end game? You just played it.
Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
Where is new content? Sigh.2 -

✭✭✭✭I haven't noticed anything. But the density does vary a lot according to zone and to areas within a zone. Some zones are also more popular than others resulting in more frequent node harvesting and thus a lower apparent density. Good zones to farm base materials are the starter islands which have higher density of nodes and some of the alliance areas - Rivenspire seems to have a lot of clothing nodes for some reason.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

drakhan2002_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Probably more competition for the same amount of nodes...due to this "Chapter"/returning/new players...0 -
NukeAllTheThings✭✭✭✭✭Same thing was brought up on PTS and the same response was given that it is because it is so crowded. Unfortunately after a couple of weeks went by and the PTS emptied, the density was still the same"it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days." - Matt Firor1 -

✭✭I don't seem to notice fewer nodes. I did notice that they take longer to harvest, though.0 -

✭There appear to be a lot less harvest nodes in Vvardenfell than in other areas.0 -
rhapsodious✭✭✭✭✭
✭I'm pretty sure the general amount of nodes in a zone remains roughly consistent regardless of size, which is why the starter islands appear to have so many - same amount of nodes, smaller amount of space. With Vvardenfell it would appear to be the opposite.
I've been up and down the western coast looking for a single damn fish, and not a soul in sight other than my fishing buddy - the amount of nodes was pretty meh.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I couldn't go 5 feet last night in Vvardenfell without tripping over a node. I'm thinking it just depends on where people are. The more people there, the less nodes you will see.Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord1 -
drallar✭✭✭I was in some out of the way areas in Vvardenfell last night and there were nodes in abundance. I suspect you are running into a situation where someone else grabbed the node before you in busy areas. Try out of the way areas off the main roads.
Edited as apparently I cannot spell.Edited by drallar on May 25, 2017 2:00PM0
