What this event is missing...

Pinja · October 14

Thus far phase one of the event has been underwhelming overland quests that give Solstice zone gear. I read the forum announcement and seen that style pages and motifs are missing, but that's not all. Event's of previous years like the Fallen Leaves of West Weald gave double drop rewards for that years content. For many mid to end game players events like the Fallen Leaves or the Hero's of High Isle gave them the opportunity to progress or try new gear. I personally was looking to farm Black Gem Foundry then raid the Imperial City, a Worm Cult strong hold, as my contribution to the event. After hearing in a live stream that players would be able to contribute in practically any way they play the game, the mark was especially missed in the fact that we can't get vitrified souls from the Imperial City. Hopefully later phases contain more end game player content like Trials, Dungeons, or my favorite PvP.

Feel free to fill in what else this event is missing.

I did all 24 dailies on a character, burnt out, and only repeated the crafting quests that only take a minute on other characters. When I logged off we were short of 1% completion of phase 1 with all the added bonus of a 'hyped' day one player base. Meaning it may take Xbox NA 50 to 100 plus days to do phase one. Although I read somewhere there's was a glitch in the progress bar.

There is a lack of innovation, a lack of desire to bring something nice to obtain, a lack of difficulty, a lack of creativity, we could have a really cool war, and what we have is more of the same mobs that die with a slap.

For me it was a missed opportunity for the everyone,all alliances and all races too come together. We could have literally "siege'd"the wall. As in siege weapons,large scale battle against the worm cult and daedric forces. It feels lackluster without a sign of progression besides a silly bar on the screen that hardly feels like the players are making a difference.

There's a chance it would have made the game unstable, but I expected enemies to march from the wall like a wondering siege merchant in Cyrodiil. The phase 2 boss was released early in a glitch and all he does is spawn in a puddle.

Missing? Innovation. Variety. Challenge. Fun. Rewards.

Divine1976 · October 14

Fun?

blktauna · October 14

I don't get vitrified souls frm my mass slaughtering in Coldharbour

SeaGtGruff · October 14

Well, I'm enjoying it so far. And as for enemies that die with a slap, most mobs have always been easy, but the event bosses in the delves and public dungeons haven't been dying with just a slap. /shrug

Hapexamendios · October 14

Me for the most part. It's not an event that has captured my interest.

it would be epic for them to march

Rewards are a bit meh. I haven't had any furnishings drop in any of the boxes yet. I miss event tickets too, though I guess Witches Festival is coming soon.

It would be nice to have more of an indication of some sort of threat in the base game zones, other than those hidden away in the special delves. Though maybe that will come in Phase 2, hopefully.

I was being very careful with my expectations for this event. They still managed to disappoint me.

Overhyped.
Repetitive.
Grindy.
Nothing new.
Overcrowded.
Super easy (overland content still not scaling up to the number of players participating).
Underwhelming rewards.
Excruciatingly slow progress.
1 new story quest.

Few days ago, Blizzard released Legion Remix. Let's look at some of its main features.

A lot of new, unique and "free" cosmetics (bought with new ingame currency).
New active and passive skills for your character to play with.
HEROIC WORLD TIER - this is what we've been asking for years!
The entire expansion is your playground (7 ZONES) - not limited to small part of a small zone and 4 repetitive quests for weeks. Yes, some quests take you to other regions but that's just chasing a specific type of mobs - which are hard to find because hundreds of people are doing it too.
5 new character slots - you can create new characters and level them up at an accelerated rate during the event.
No need to own the latest expansion - included with the monthly subscription.
Infinite power scaling - grow your power infinitely until you can solo even mythic raids.
Replay the story of WoW: Legion (30+ hours).

Yes, in World of Warcraft.

There is little impetus for anyone who doesn't own the content pass to participate. And little impetus to obtain said content pass based on the offerings of the event. Much like the content pass itself, there is only a new coat of paint slapped on the same dilapidated building, infested with the same bugs.

tom6143346 · October 14

Event if you had thecontent pass like I do, there is very little motivation to do kind of the same awful grindi maybe drop something quest this time even more grindi then the events before . It’s really not worth my time .i really hoped this will be something more refreshing. But nope

Kendaric · October 14

What this event and the more recent DLCs (since High Isle) lack is decent writing for quests and characters. The current writing in ESO is atrocious, there's no other way to put it.

The event, at least for now, also lacks fun, it is a horrible, boring grind. It was totally overhyped for what it is.

oddarin · October 14

As a cherry on cake, i would like to add that with that event all dlc zone are dead now - everyone grinding furs on base zones or transforming Cold Harbor to a graveyard, almost no one doing simple dailys so it almost imposible to find people to kill WB or do world event like Mosaique in WW or Harrowstorm in the Reach. Seriously I've never seen that nobody was on WB on Solstice, but here we are. No proper reward from event and even regular daily rewards are far harder to get. Very disappointing

An Event.

This is how it has been for years.

If you want to run a daily for X, you do it during the events when people are actually there, or you learn to solo everything.

People complain overland is too easy, everyone solos everything, there's no group play even for things that are meant for group play... Well. Then that's because people don't LIKE the content, have no incentive to do it, have too much stuff to do in the limited time they have to play, and/or get far too spread out across the dozens and dozens of maps we have.

I've grown tired of sitting in a WB for a literal hour+ in prime time waiting for someone, anyone at all, to show up and assist. I have grown tired of putting "LFM +boss can share" in chat to be met with absolute silence. I want to do something, I only do it if I know I can solo it. That's the way the game has been pushing us to play it, at least in overland. And if suddenly there is a reason for people to flock to some big enemy? Hope you're in the top 12 or no loot for you.

spartaxoxo · October 14

Drop chances for the event items are too low and good guidance to event mobs is missing in some cases. Like the quests for animal fat directs you towards Guar instead of something like Alit, even though the latter has a much higher drop rate

AzuraFan · October 14

Rewards.

They changed the Undaunted event to just a chance of a double drop, rather than guaranteed. Now we have this "historic" event that gives 1 piece of overland trash in purple boxes, and only a small chance of something decent in gold boxes.

ESO already had ultra-low drop rates for everything, so this is bad. I'm not liking the direction this new leadership is taking.
