idrankyourbeer✭✭✭my guess is that they are implementing crown store commercials to loading screens, and making it so you have to wait 15 seconds to exit out of the spam window that gets shoved in your face every time that you log in with a character.

✭There is a potential exploit where you could endlessly mine ores as well as jewelry crafting material ... as soon as the node is harvested wait a minute and a new node pops up. So many mining nodes are close enough together than you can zoom from one to another and when you are back to where you started another node has already respawned ... literally no down time.Not long after Summerset went live, I decided to farm my usual ore spot (I know the node locations by heart). Luckily, I had the place pretty much to myself. I did my zoom-zoom thing from one node to the next and after a little more than an hour I opened my craft bag to see how many ores I had mined ... that was when I realized there might be a problem. Having the place to myself, I should have mined around 700-800 ores (normally get 3-8 ores per node). But, my craft bag had almost double that amount in it. I immediately submitted a report and, as much as it pained me to do so, I left the area after that.Edited by Maryal on May 23, 2018 8:24AM4 -

✭✭✭✭✭Probably the elves have decided it was not such a good idea to welcome tourists after all and they have decided to close the border again.
Anyone who was in Summerset before they slept will now be held in border detention for several months before being thrown into the ocean.

sure is nice to sign in collect off my hirelings on 10 of my alts only to get reminded 10 times in a 4 minute span about whatever crap is on the crown store that i have no interest in ever buying. i'm sure that in 12 hours when i come back to collect again, i'll be reminded 10 more times just in case i've forgot. maybe if the 9th window doesn't lure me in, maybe the 10th one will get lucky!
thank you ZoS for implementing this spam into your game. it was clearly designed with my best interests at heart.
i mean sure it only takes half a second to close off, but its becoming a nuisance. maybe once per day on an account (not every god damn character) wouldnt be as ridiculous. not that these things would ever convince me to mosey on over to the store and gamble my money away on tri restoration potions and all that other junk anyways or spend $50+ worth of crowns on a mount or a virtual house when i could just go buy another full game instead, but i figure this is kind of unwanted garbage is only going to turn more people away from the store, or even maybe the game itself perhaps.
all this nonsense in hopes of reeling in a couple big fish i guess. sorry you all have to suffer through this crapEdited by idrankyourbeer on May 23, 2018 8:05AM15 -

Their silence on this issue is deafening.
I'm going to take a wild guess here that there is a large faction within the devs that agree with us that doing it on every character log-in is a bad idea. They can't say anything for obvious reasons and the one guy who thinks is a brilliant idea doesn't speak to us plebes.6 -
Umariel✭✭Could it perhaps have to do with the new Daily Rewards and Gift Inventory option on the Crown Store tab?
Saw those right before maintenance but haven't heard any announcement on those yet.
Or am I just out of the loop? lol, I have screencaps of them if someone needs me to show..0 -

✭✭I hope it's to do with drop rates of Psijic Motif. I have maxed out Psijic Skill Line and I done tons of AG and .... not a single page! I really really need it for my Psijic Sage Sorcerer! My RP has overloaded with Summerset Release and now I can't help it!

The daily rewards start on June 5 with console release (stated in patch notes). Gift inventory is for when someone gifts you something from the crown store (also in the patch notes).1 -

Y'know what this is called? Material farming. It's been a live exploit since 2014.

I'm too honest and hang out with other honest people I guess. I never hear of any exploit until long after it's over. I don't even talk about the ones I run into when playing on the PTS - I just /bug them and move on to the next thing.3 -

There was a bug? I barely found any JC ore
. Most of people just farm dolmens for neckles and rings to destory.
They realy need to add more nodes. Its like 1 for every 50 ore, herb, wood one in location.1 -

They're plentiful. They share nodes with ore so if you pick up all the ore you see they have a chance to re-spawn as seams. Of course they'll be rare in Summerset and Arteum due to overcrowding but they're easy to farm anywhere else.
Same mechanic for runes and the lootable Psijic rifts: they also share spawns.0 -

Brilliant, insightful, helpful ... such wise words .... not. LOL! If someone farmed in the location I was in for 4 or 5 hours, they could have gotten enough jewelry crafting material to max-out their jewelry crafting skill. Since this potential exploit didn't exist back in 2014, I suppose one would be hard-pressed to simply call it 'material farming.'Edited by Maryal on May 23, 2018 8:47AM1 -

Tyralbin✭✭✭✭✭Have heard there was some updates to Nvidia cards (assuming this is related to coding otherwise a simple update from our end would have worked).

SixVoltCar✭✭✭Why is the bug fix solution always to shut the world down for maintenance instead of restarting it to apply a patch?
Why is a major content update (such as an expansion) still called a patch?
Are they bringing the servers down to program on-the-fly when they do this? That would explain many things.0 -
Jinazai✭✭✭Probably correcting some minor issue. One of them is lack of motifs in Fang Lair and Scalecaller Peak. Many people did the dungeons after the update and reported that nothing dropped. Also probably some minor performance tweaks.
Those motifs wont drop until 5th june when the expansion officially releasesIf i can endure the inane prattle in chat, I can survive your assuredly erudite eluciations. Proceed.0 -

I miss them from the PTS, especially the Fang Lair chest armor. I had all my female characters using that for their outfit together with a belt (I forget which) that when used with that chest armor you could only see the buckle siting right on top of the bare belly button... It was as close as ESO has ever gotten to Korean MMO fashion 0
