here's some details from the stream:


Hidden Spring Cottage in Gold Coast, medium size Classic home.


Overgrown Chapel of Julianos, unsure if i heard name right. it's Notable and the q4 event ticket home yippie!


Quality of Life updates are awesome!
- Replay Quest Dialogue, awesome for accessibility.

- Stackable Survey Reports, useful!
- Gamepad & Mouse Sensitivity Settings, useful!
- Infinite Archive Vision Rerolls, it'll cost Archival Fortunes and helpful.
- Mount Swimming! wow, very useful.



Xanmeer Defender(?) skin! pretty.

Weakness to Elements and Fire Rune skill styles from Dungeon Vanguisher achievements, dazzling white for Rune.
Minty green dye?

Slippery Soul Gem and Seed-Heavy Hist Bulb mementos
- Soul Gem slips out of your hands and breaks explosively.
- like blowing the seeds from a dandelion away, purple glowy seeds though which is nice.

Black Soul Gem Foundry has the new Black Gen Monstrosity (?), it's like a Frost Atro made out of black soul gems.


Writhing Wall details, if i heard it correctly:
- first 2 phases of Writhing Wall event will be on PTS.
- There's a Worm Writhe style and Worm Writhe Haj Mota pet.
- event ui in Activity Finder

edited to add:
- Compass quality of life? it now tells us how many meters away a quest is.



item set screenshots under spoiler
Stonehulk Domination applies Major Vulnerability when taunting an enemy, nice to have another source of that debuff.

i love the Vykand's Fury set's 5 piece bonus:
While in combat, completing a fully-charged Heavy Attack grants you Major Force, Major Berserk, or Major Courage for 12 seconds
getting those buffs more easily is nice

Surveys already stack, so how is that new? or are they going to work like master writs do now?

Hopefully, the ability to collect multiple resource maps from a single point will soon be added to the stackable surveys, otherwise this change will make almost no difference to those who collect a lot of maps.

Awesome QoL with the surveys and visions!

Some more space related QoL:
1: Stacking similar transmute crystal geodes and/or unlimited transmute storage for ESO+ members.
2: Make filled soulgems an accountwide currency similar to archival fortunes, or place these in the ESO+ crafting bag.
3: Stack every stackable to atleast 10.000, like repair kits and PvP repair kits and potions and everything else.
4: "Master lockpick" in collections for completing the thieves guild. So we no longer have to carry around lockpicks.
5: Stack poisons to 100.000, or unlimited.
6: Unknown treasure map holder, similar to unknown master writs.

PS: Not space related, but please place a furniture vault at every banker everywhere.

What about existing surveys? Khajiit has some* he's been keeping for a rainy day, or his retirement. -sigh- probably the same thing as with the writs. -sigh-

*and by some khajiit means roughly 14,250 surveys..

Just do the same as I do, complete the existing surveys once the new stacking system goes live.

Edit: Edited in some more space savers.

I hope you guys are actually working on something BIG for ESO, because only taking this leap of faith I could accept these thin updates!

Right now I don't see the game going in any direction. I am playing since the beginning. So, being familiarized with all the systems, I find the state of most systems literally confusing.

Subclassing is great in theory, but in practice it really cancels class identity and thinking outside the box to make up for your class limitations. When everything is possible, you are tempted to try everything and nothing, since it is easier to go for the meta builds, like always.

Why did we bother with scrying? Now it's free for all, which is a good move, but it just shows lack of direction.

Crafting is a very neglected system. There are so many sets that are mostly useless. None needs to craft those, except for vouchers, which have very limited use.

My biggest issue is with crafting furnishings, which is a whole system in the crafting system. I wonder how many devs are really into housing and are trying to figure out which crafting bench to use for a furnishing, and in which of the confusing categories to look for the desired item. Do I need a clothing or woodworking station for this couch? Will it be in the suite or dining section? Or is it courtyard? I would be happy without any new houses for a year, if you could make a furnishing crafting table with a search bar. How many hours would that require compared to making 3-4 houses? Want the crowns from those houses? Make the crafting table cost crowns, and am sure that all the housing players will buy it. Why do we have so many collectibles like pets or NPCs if we can't place only a very limited number in a house? Why have these huge housing spaces if we can't fast travel to various areas or choose a 2nd entrance? Etc etc

These are just a few pain points in the game. I am disappointed after watching this stream, (which was more like an internal teams meeting than a presentation for players), that I haven't heard any mention of the important issues. This Solstice chapter is something for us to be busy while you work on the big stuff, this is how we were told, and for the love of this game I hope it's true.

The game is great, but it looks like a garden which needs more gardeners! I can't imagine what a new player might feel! Dealing with all the confusing and overlapping systems, tons of content which can be completed in any order without consequence (this is good and bad too), overlapping events with FOMO styled rewards.

Actually... to me it feels like there are too many gardeners, each making decisions for their little section. No one is laying out what the whole garden should look like.

And, for Update 47, many of them are on vacation and not working in the garden.

stackable master writs aren't really helpful because you have no idea what set it is, how many writ vouchers, etc. until you open it, and then it's immediately not stackable (you can't peek and keep it generic)

in the same way, stackable surveys will also not be helpful because you won't know what zone they are for

I'll continue to keep my surveys in my housing containers, and do them when I have a bunch for a specific zone

mount swimming is cool though

You knew Update 47 had to be special, right? Swimming mounts and stackable surveys?? FINALLY!!! After all, it was update 47. Right? 47?

@ZOS_Kevin Hey so is there going to be any support for players who don’t want to subclass.
I have no interest in sub classing and obviously in the case of PVP I am at a huge disadvantage so what will be the balance changes to help out players as I’m sure I’m not the only one who want to use the pure class lines playstyle
