Katzenzunge✭✭✭The Endless Archive[quote="Morimizo;c-7957652"
Endless Archive: , for those not participating in this sweaty combat content rehash and acquiring the new gear, it is very likely you will notice a diminution of your current power. Alas, it is time for the Arcanist nerfhammer anyway, so it was expected. What percentage of the time will a Sorceror receive Templar sets? Lots more than their own, I'd wager.[/quote]
Why sweaty? It's not timed, not rushed at all. You can farm the stuff to get the gear as sweaty or un-sweaty as you like. Ofc there will be some faster than others, but...that's just the way these games work I guess.
And as far as I understood, the drops are curated for the class you play. So wardens will get class sets for warden and so forth.3 -

That was my understanding as well.
The endless archive also drops a unique currency, which afaik you can use to buy a curated piece of armor for any class from a special vendor.4 -
Katzenzunge✭✭✭The Endless ArchiveYes, your're right, forgot the part about the vendor!
So theres bascially no chance for the player to accidently get the wrong set ^^1 -

✭✭✭✭✭There's nothing there that really appeals to me, to be honest.
I'd hoped that the Endless Archive was going to be a dungeon that you could progress through with random generated rooms that went on.... endlessly. While they got the need for it to be solo or duo, and I'd have had no problem with a group option as well, it just comes across as another arena with waves that increase in difficulty to the point where you can't survive any more - which doesn't really make it endless in any meaningful sense. If there's reliance on it for certain gear, sets, furnishings, scrying leads and yet another currency then I'm increasingly put off it.
I like the fact that jewelry crafting is currently different to the other crafting professions. I don't see the need for everything to be the same, for some that may be a QoL improvement, while for others it leads to trivialisation. I don't see anything worthwhile in this change.
Group Finder and Grand Master Crafting Stations are both irrelevant to my playstyle, but if others want them then that's fine.6 -

✭✭✭✭✭Group FinderDefinitely the grouping tool.

SeveN085✭✭✭So the trial group finder is kinda huge. How many pugs are gonna que for vet trials now? 😆
It's not going to work like dungeon queue. If you could just que up for vet trial, accept and get random 11 players that you had no control over, it would be a total mess.
From what they showcased, it's going to work like a lobby

propertyOfUndefined✭✭✭✭✭The Endless ArchiveReally hoping the class sets help shake things up in terms of build-craft...
Also thought it was interesting that they chose to play through the dungeon with a necromancer and templar -- the 2 classes that players have been most vocal about recently. Hopefully that's them dropping a hint that improvements are coming, and not them saying "What are you all talking about?! See?! These classes are right as rain!"
Eagerly awaiting monday's patch notes...

✭Class sets look awful, way to kill the hype of Endless Archive. DKs looking good once again, Warden, Arcanist and NB are interesting for healers and rest just sound like pure trash. Underwhelming rewards will only result in rapid loss of interest.
Jewel crafting change doesn't surprise me. Group finder is something that most MMOs tend to utilise nowadays, nice that ESO finally caught on, I can see it being a great addition to the game.4 -

✭✭✭Grand Master Crafting StationsI chose the Stations b/c I know most guildmasters would actually like to put a few decorations at the guild hall besides an endless sea of crafting tables, but as for the rest?
Jewelry change: It will be a buyer's market for awhile, sellers and farmers are going to make a LOT less gold, and it will take awhile for guild store bids to adjust for the radical change. This should've been done when Summerset released instead of creating a pillar of the economy just to destroy it later. Sometimes better late than never isn't the greatest outcome. Not for everyone, anyway.
Improved Group Finder: Now this qualifies for better late than never, but honestly, it is REALLY tardy showing up.
Endless Archive: Never liked arenas (in any game, not ESO's in particular), but the class sets are what concern me. As evidenced with the new CP system (Riding Speed and Fall Damage were reduced/increased only to build them back in with CP), when new power is given, old power is diminished to compensate, for we cannot have power creep!! So, for those not participating in this sweaty combat content rehash and acquiring the new gear, it is very likely you will notice a diminution of your current power. Alas, it is time for the Arcanist nerfhammer anyway, so it was expected. What percentage of the time will a Sorceror receive Templar sets? Lots more than their own, I'd wager.
The class sets in general aren't very good, and won't upset the meta terribly much.
Other than I think it's possible some groups may try a dk ult generation healer, nb will be gone, warden will stay, and you'll have an arc mt and a necro ot.
Well, maybe anyway. It'd be cool to see that meta shake up a little bit.0 -

I just saw it in the news article (post#64689) about group finder setting if players enable in game voice chat.
So I assume it’s being added?Edited by ForzaRammer on September 15, 2023 3:17AM1 -

The setting said require voip, it didnt say in game voice chat and also remember the option to give links so i assume they expect pc players to use discord or similarSoupy twist2 -

✭✭✭Jewelry Crafting changesThe return of perma corrosive DKs thanks to the new DK class set......
To be a bit more serious, the jewelry crafting is a nice change as will the crafting stations, the endless dungeon will be cool for a bit, but I can see it becoming tedious fairly quickly.
the group finder will be nice if its implemented correctly and works properly.0 -

✭✭The Endless ArchiveI voted endless archive but honestly, I like everything I am seeing so far. Group Finder will be a fantastic (if long overdue) addition. Also, thank god they're adjusting jewellery crafting!Struggling to find a new class to call home.Please send help.2 -
ÆxiledSoul ShrivenGroup FinderBased on previous experiences I tend to believe that the group finder will bring in many interested players that might stay longer than just a month after a new dlc, maybe that way we'll get back to a point at which the community wasn't that split up.
Aside of that the other additions are amazing as well, I can't exactly name which is my favorite as all of them will bring this game forward. Great update!1 -

Remember this update is for consoles too, which have voice-chat built in. Apparently a lot of people keep it off at all times so it's probably a good idea to include that option to make sure the group can speak to each other, using either voice chat or text chat.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

✭After watching that stream of the endless archive I can't imagine it working with just a companion or solo.0 -
Skullstachio✭✭✭✭✭Jewelry Crafting changes:- Will working similarly as other Equipment Crafting Skills
- Grains will be converted 1:1 into Platings
- Successfully upgrading to Legendary will cost 8 Platings with all passives unlocked
Uh-oh...
(A warning to any who read this: Expect chromium grain prices to already break the proverbial roof to the point where it is like running on the banks.)If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...
If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.0 -

We already have a dungeon finder. Works okay for me0
