DLC Undaunted Pledges

Cydonia60 · February 8

Could we have a second pledge-giver for the daily Undaunted DLC dungeons?
There's a lot more DLC dungeons than there are for base game, but only Urgarlag Chief-Bane to assign the pledges for them.

that would indeed be good

being able to re roll pledges would be nice

Can we FIX URGARLAG'S PLEDGE REWARDS ALREADY?!?!?

She gives an uncracked geode for hers, while the others give a set amount. That means that you get more transmutes from FGI HM than Coral Aerie HM.

Especially since DLCs are still considered DLC when they become base game, which will happen with IC and its dungeons next patch. (I think ZOS is the only company I know that considers content both DLC and base game at the same time.)

I don’t know if ZOS intends to fold other dungeon packs into the base game, or if IC is a one-off because it comes with a PvPvE zone, but even if they do it won’t change the situation with an overloaded Urgarlag and DLC rotation unless they specifically address that.

They could also fix the geode issue mentioned above. The fact they haven’t for so long does suggest things about priorities, though.

The whole point of pledges is to incentivize everyone to do the same set of dungeons on the same day, to make grouping for those specific dungeons easier.

That's actually the best argument for adding a second DLC pledge giver.
Someone wanting to get a set piece from a DLC dungen has to wait THREE TIMES LONGER than they would to get a base game set piece if they're relying on pledges to get a group together.

Thats absurd.
And it gets worse each time a new DLC dungeon is added.
A fix is long overdue.

If anyone needs more convincing, consider the issues of varying dungeon size and complexity.
A second DLC pledge giver would be an opportunity to give the easier DLC pledges to a low reward quest giver and give the more time consuming pledges to a higher reward quest giver.

I think it is time for DLC dungeons to get their own queue as well.

Yes it's been necessary for a long time, and more dungeons have been added for years. It would be really nice if the dlc pledges were split between two questgivers. Even then, there'd still be a long wait between dlc dungeons, but I suppose dividing it even further would be too many pledges per day.
Right now the pledges is the only certain way to be able to queue and get a random group into a lot of the dlc dungeons, so this would help quite a lot on that.

2 non-DLC pledges and 2 DLC pledges—I think that's a great idea. However, as has already been suggested, it would be good if there were 2 random dungeon variants: one for the base game and one for DLC dungeons.
Of course, the waiting time for DLC dungeons would be longer, but the chance of finding competent players there would also be higher.

The following is probably a bad idea, but what if all 3 pledges were turned into DLC pledges? A pledge, as a word, is very serious. I don't feel very serious doing FG1 on HM. It's more like a pinky promise. 😂

You don't have to wait a single day!
You can complete your sticker book by doing that dungeon over and over. No undaunted daily needed for that.

My favourite part is getting 3 transmute crystals from a tri-boss HM ...!

There needs to be a second quest giver, and the split should be along HM boss numbers, with these linked to keys (and transmutes).

Base Game Normal: 1 Key & 5 Transumtes
Base Game Veteran: 2 Keys & 5 Transmutes
Base Game Hardmore: 2 Keys & 10 Transmutes

DLC Normal: 2 Keys & 10 Transmutes
DLC Veteran: 3 Keys & 10 Transmutes + 1 Key and 5 Transmutes for each boss on HM - That's 4 Keys/15 Transmutes for DLC HM with single boss, and 6 Keys/25 Transmutes for DLC HM with tri-boss

Read the last 10 words of that quote again please.

"if they're relying on pledges to get a group together"

Sure, some people can get a group together from zone chat to make a farming group.
Guild's can also help get a group together.
Some dungeons can even be solo farmed effectively.

I've done all 3 several times over the years.

But those options don't work for everyone.
Especially not the newer players who are exactly the kind of players who might need to farm a set to get up and running.

The pledge givers are one of the best ways for new players to hunt down that annoying pillar of nirn dagger or SPC resto their build is waiting on.

The shorter we make that wait, the more chance that the newer player will get the set and move on to end game content instead of quitting out of impatience.
