666

HalvarIronfist✭✭✭✭I don't feel it is appropriate to have the value 666 in item sets. Just me?
Just you on this one, mate.
While it may be something you don't like (likely due to religion), that's just what it is. While it ultimately wouldnt matter to move the number of the item set up or down by 1, there's no reason to make a special change just because of it.3 -

✭✭Yeah its kinda weird they use that number and maybe should change it to another one. 667 because of superstitions associated with it along with religious ones.

Imagine thinking the use of 666 in a video game is an issue that needs to be addressed.31 -

✭✭616 is considered a variant of the number. But the idea here is well many people are wary of it and they have their reasons so I do think it would be wise not to use it. I do feel they should change it even though in this case it might not intentionally being caped with a number considered evil, its possible they didn't even consider it.
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is the fear of the number "666." Related to triskaidekaphobia, or fear of the number 13, this phobia has its origins in both religious belief and superstition.

✭✭✭✭✭If they took out all the numbers that are in any way offensive to anyone, we might as well switch to binary. Have you seen the profanity filter they use?10 -

✭✭✭✭✭Look around the game. Many things amount to either 666 or 666 dodge numbers like 665 or 660.
Lots of experience gain, AP gain and also resistences. 66 crit resistence is 1% and 660 armor is 1%.
You find alot of 666 in this game. I do not think this is a coincidence anymore.
But I like it. Auri-El is my lord,
Trinimac is my shield,
Magnus is my mind.

Many numbers can add up to it sure, still outright adding that number in might be considered disrespectful to those that are of faith and I do think Zenimax should be mindful of this even if its an innocent mistake. I do often see people with user names that end with that number and I do wish they would crack down on that because they are doing it to say oh this number is cool. Not allowing it or altering it to just 66 or 667. Because of the special implications of it.
Though 666 could actually be a code for Neron Kesar - the Hebrew spelling of Nero Caesar.
According to this. https://www.sciencealert.com/what-is-the-secret-meaning-behind-the-devil-s-number-666-mathematics
Still I do think that well though its just a number , many consider it to be the sign of the devil or the antichrist. That is why I think they should avoid appearing like they like that number.Edited by Thevampirenight on April 23, 2020 5:45AMPC NA

I say adding up. But I mean it is literally so.
Experience gain from monsters in Cyrodiil for example.

✭✭✭So, if we remove the number 666 from game, we should remove all the black cats, the number 13, gay couple NPC's, all witchcraft references, all demon references, dark magic,....... oh, wait, that is the whole game! Lmao!
On a serious note, respect to others religious beliefs and superstitions should be honored, but this is a fantasy game and if anyone feels uncomfortable playing due to religious ideologies, perhaps they shouldn't play as all people don't have the same views.

Well given the number is considered one that gives an unpleasent fate there is people that do fear it for that reason. 13 is just considered unlucky and black cats are just black cats they are innocent and get unfairly treated. They can leave it how it is though but yeah I think I wasn't the only one thinking it was weird they were using that number of all the numbers.Edited by Thevampirenight on April 23, 2020 5:59AMPC NA

If people are offended by a number they're welcome not to play the game. There's nothing directly offensive to any religion in ESO. Bending over backwards to religious people (or any people) for the tiniest of imagined offenses would be silly.Thevampirenight wrote: »outright adding that number in might be considered disrespectful to those that are of faith

777 is used in casinos from what I understand because its considered a lucky number. But its more then that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/777_(number)
Many religions consider 3 and 7 to be holy 777 is also considered to be the number of the trinity.

Well we can already see the results of trying to do so. Just turn your profanity filter back on."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you..."0 -

✭✭✭I have strong opinions about humans consuming more meat than the planet can sustainably produce. Should I be offended about the inclusion of meat based provisioning recipes in ESO and ask ZOS to remove them?
When you start addressing tiny nothing issues like this, there's literally no end to it. You'd have to delete the game itself to please people who are offended by video games...7 -

Ah HA! So not only gambling, but indoctrination as well! You've shown your true colors now. Admit it. You're actually working with the Illuminati to secretly lower everyone's mental defenses so the mind control ray will work more efficiently, aren't you.

Well if they are going to use a value why not use a lucky one given how hard it is to get those weapons what would be considered an unlucky number? I also edited that one post above to say they could use 888, 999 or 555 as well. So they don't need to do 777 but well surely 777,888,999 would be better. As you could get more from it. or less with 555.Edited by Thevampirenight on April 23, 2020 6:21AMPC NA

✭✭LOL this is going to be a fun thread.
I think its going to get deleted but well hopefully Zenimax will go through it and maybe see that connection that people are making with that number and maybe realize its not the best idea but they don;t have to do that and they can just keep it how it is. All I'm saying is the op does have a point in a way. Though I do understand other points people are saying here. In the end it is a number. Maybe not the best of numbers out there but still a number.Edited by Thevampirenight on April 23, 2020 6:24AMPC NA

Amunari✭✭✭Interestingly, the value of 6 represents all forms of imperfection, and evil, while half of its value represents perpetual, eternal repetition. For example, in scripture it is said "holy, holy, holy" it is the equivalent of "holy being repeated endlessly, for eternity".
I would like to point out that some conspiracy theorists might say the reason 666 is in the game is to represent "zos's inability to make it perfect", though i'd argue against that 0
