No pvp option?>

30 dragons is a lot. But that’s a lot of jewelry to decon as a compensation.

4 runs of nss or 2 NMA aren’t bad alternatives.

Gleitfrosch · July 2021

One could say "do the dragon dailies in both elsweyr zones and you are done in five days without any additional grind"

But would that be an acceptable answer?

Gythral · July 2021

Every one today is insulting with it's lack of options, not just the weekly!
Dailies are more or less Theives Guild, ESO+ or toxic!

FluffWit · July 2021

I bored myself senseless doing 25 Excavations today.

Arenas can be fun, I'll see if my boys are keen for Dragonstar or Black Rose I guess.

Endevors killed eso for me.
There is no way for people with multiple accounts to deal with this system.
Worst year for me so far.
First, the mindless CP grind, now this thing.
And they do their best to make it even grindier.
Beside bs weekly endevors, look at daily ones we have for today.
forced pvp endevor, double dlc endevor, dungeon and only one that is quick and easy.
If I knew things would be this way I would never ever have multiple accounts.

Game became absolute chore.

I’m very upset because there is no pvp option. I guess I will do the dragon one since it has good loots during event.

But you don't have to do them?

You're letting them spoil the game for you. Most people I play with just do one or two a day sometimes because the other ones aren't what they can be bothered with or want to do.

They're an extra, not a must. And even then, a stupid long grind for very little. Ooooh, a radiant apex. Well, seeing as a lot of people will have them, it's just like a regular mount at that point. Kinda loses its shine. Not that I'm ever going to spend actual money on getting them either.

For me, it gives me some things to do when pvp is quiet. I can just go do some of them rather than think "pvp is dead at the moment, I'll log off as I have zero else to do". I haven't even been on in 4 or 5 days, and I don't care that I'm missing endeavours. Didn't even do the weekly one that just finished.

Are we supposed to balance a game and it's systems around the handful of people that play on multiple accounts?

And OP, are you feeling ok? You made a thread saying that you liked a weekly endeavour. Are you sure?? According to the forum, they're all stupid and unfair...

20 seals to just change one thing on your outfit, but you got to buy a sub first.

What are you talking about? Go to any outfit station in the game, Rawlk'ha is nice and convenient, select outfit on the left, everyone has one outfit slot, select armor styles and double click the hide helm option, apply and done for 0 gold cost in less than 2 minutes.

ESO+ is only required for dyeing costumes, and that doesn't even count for the endeavor.

Skip whatever you find is not fun. If something becomes a grind stop doing it for a while. Just let the CP happen while you are having fun and collect the endeavors that relate to something you would be doing anyway. It's a game have fun.

Is it bad I did like 30 in one day?

It's okay, they're immortal and come back to life again.

Limited time items, crown crates and crown gem exclusives are totally anti consumer and I really hate that they're in the game.

Also, I think the endeavours are purely a moral/legal (don't know for sure) thing that Microsoft has and isn't them giving the players anything they don't have to.

But, I don't see having them in DLC content being a big deal.

Firstly, there are always other options. You can do them every day without ESO+ or buying DLC.

Secondly, I don't see why having them in DLC content is a big deal. Firstly, you're already missing out on more important thing (gear, systems, skill lines, classes). Also, it kind of adds value to the DLCs. There's not much reason for people to go to these zones, so for some people it's a reason to go back and means they're getting more out of their purchase.

Adding paid for content is part and parcel of an MMO. What MMO doesn't use it to introduce things players want, in the game? Every game does now. Even games like GTA sort of do it. Sure, content is free, but the price of everything on the DLC is so high, it drives a lot of people to buy currency to actual play that content. Otherwise it takes months and months to grind and by then, there's new stuff again.

I don't agree with your gripe here. I don't think it's a big deal tbh.

So run trough nMA twice

Asardes · July 2021

7 days, quest to kill 3 dragons in South Elsweyr for 1 ticket, quest to 3 dragons in North Elsweyr for a 2nd ticket. Each of those quests takes 10 minutes or less from my experience and you would do them for the tickets anyway.

Tommy_The_Gun · July 2021

Apparently, there is a way to kill a dragon if you do not own Elsweyr zone DLC.

Previously we had a daily endeavour to kill a dragon and people from this thread:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/581847/how-to-kill-a-dragon-without-dlc

were saying that killing a dragon form Elsweyr prologue quest (free) was counting towards endeavour progression. So you would have to almost complete the prorogue quest & then abandon quest and start it over... 30 times

Edit:
It seems that Elsweyr prologue has more than one quests, so you dont have do entire prologue, just the final quest in which you kill a dragon and then right after you killed a dragon, abandon quest & start it over.

SantieClaws · July 2021

This one just wishes, and this goes especially for daily endeavours, they would take into account when we lose half a day because of downtime.

Make them less 'all in one chunk' things on those days.

30 dragons is a lot yes given even the best of us, especially not this one, cannot solo them.

Thus there is a limited window each day of 'busy people time' to complete the task.

MA is also DLC

I feel like giving away nDSA carries is the way to go, that's more or less soloable, right?

I don't agree 30 is a lot. It's the elseweyr event. Dragons are really crowded right now. If you do the 2 dragon dailies you get 6 dragon kills a day. It takes like 15 minutes.

And if you really want to grind it out, go to soutern elseweyr.

Yeh, it's totally solable. Even if people can't, 4 noobs can sleepwalk through it on normal. 90 minutes for the weekly endeavour is fine.

Togal · July 2021

They paywall all the best gear sets to get and now they paywall endeavors which is supposed to be free by the EULA that mircrosoft has. nice one zos.

Literally the whole game is paywalled. You can't get an account for free. HOW DARE THEY????

yes, nDSA is easily soloable. If you should struggle with the last stage, setting up a companion as a healer helps quite a bit with burning down the boss fast.

FrancisCrawford · July 2021

Some of these will seem grindier over time. For example, I have 3 characters who have never gotten the nMA skill point, and I don't have a Maelstrom Lightning Staff. So running nMA a couple of times makes sense.

And then I'd like to learn DSA for the ice staff.

But at some point down the road this endeavor will look very grindy to me. And other folks might be at that point already.

I was going to post something similar about the daily endeavours and the maintenance time. Today's dailies take too much time for a day that has maintenance downtime as well. On maintenance days the endeavour-dailies should be simple: Sell 10 items to a merchant, do 1 daily quest, deconstruct 5 items, etc. Not change an outfit, do a dungeon, do a battleground, kill 10 citizens with blade of woe... those things can often take a long time to do, especially if you do them in the normal playing way.

Thing is you don't have to do any of this stuff.

It's not like GTA Online where there are better rewards for chaining days and weeks together. Miss a daily or a weekly and it's no big deal. I think I already skipped one week because I didn't like the choices.

And I like that its encouraging us to do content we hadn't touched in years. I'm having fun setting up a new sneak thief right now for Heists etc.

I've been meaning to do the arenas again, this should give me the motivation to actually do it.

Well, a player with no DLC can't get a companion. Had to point this out.

Also, I have ESO+ and Blackwood, yet I don't bother doing the endeavors that annoy me. But I'll likely try to do the 30 dragons for the loot, as the event is on.

ESO has some of its events behind a paywall too, the ones that celebrate DLCs.

what takes you so long ?

Todays endeavors were something like:
change outfit style (hat visible, hidden): 30s
kill 10 with Blade: 5 m (a bit of competition there in Rawl'kha)
nFG1 solo: 9m
that's about 15 minutes give and take ...

I think that's quite reasonable even for a maint. day

^^THIS. ESPECIALLY for us poor east coast Aussies WHO GET LIKE 15MIN TO PLAY TODAY unless maintenance finishes early AND I'm not too tired.

Sorry, I'll stop shouting now. Work is very stressful and all I want to do is chill in my favourite game and I can't rn.
