How could I not want to join The Ruckus next time?

Erickson9610 · June 18

I received this mail from the end of the first Night Market campaign. The Ruckus was in third place, but I found this letter to be inspirational:

Especially this part:

Perhaps next time we will taste victory. If this one happens to find you among the Ruckus again, then I am all the more certain it will happen.

This is the first time I've seen it acknowledged that we can pick the same Night Market faction more than once. How cool is that?

Whether The Ruckus will win remains to be seen. Obviously players pick their faction for the rewards and thus pick the winning faction that has the best dye and monster set. I plan to stick with The Ruckus, at least until I can bring them to victory.

Sorry but they won't be winning next time either, as I won't be there.

Next up is Goad, and then finishing up for the third time on Ruckus. Why you ask? Because red is best and I'm just infiltrating the other factions to learn their secrets before bringing them down! Mwahahahahaha

The total faction favor should have been divided by the number of faction members at the end !

Statistically with an event this long, the total faction favor on its own only says something about the number of members, nothing else and certainly says nothing at all about what faction played the best. ZOS is completely misguided.

I'm disappointed I missed the mail (mine was from Thousand Eyes). Because it was system mail it was buried somewhere in a mass of guild sales and hireling spam and I pushed the button to take all the attachments and delete all the mail before I even knew it was there.

Doesn't help I played the Night Market for 3 evenings then I was done with it and went back to other things so I'd forgotten the bonus rewards were even coming, otherwise I might have looked out for it.

@Danikat

I took a screenshot of my messages. I was Thousand Eyes as well. Not as nice as seeing in your mail yourself but at least this knowledge was hoarded by a fellow Eye and shared among our crew. Let the Goad and Ruckus rue the day they underestimated us! Rue!

I posted screenshots of all three mails in another thread.

*IF* ZOS doesn't change the scoring formula, I'm pretty certain that for NM2, Eyes will be last place as most of Eyes change over to either Goad or Ruckus. As for whether Goad or Ruckus will be first, Goad consistently beat Ruckus on all 6 megaservers during NM1 (averaged across all servers, Goad beat Ruckus by 38%, though it was close on PC/EU where Goad was only 4.5% ahead of Ruckus), so I'd expect Goad to win for NM2, but it's not the kind of landslide that Eyes had for NM1 (averaged across all servers, Eyes was 61% ahead of the combined scores of the other two factions).

i choose Goad next and Ruckus after that, i want all the dyes and want gold more than rusty red

Fischblut · June 18

I wanted to join Ruckus originally, but I tested all dyes on PTS back then to be more pragmatic about my choice. I needed faction where I like most of rewards, and Goad won my heart...

I would say Ruckus has most interesting NPCs, but all the Daedra party-goers in Goad are awesome too. Even Thousand Eyes have some cute NPC scenes. So overall the whole Market lobby was well-done!

Ruckus has awesome banner logo, but their title is of no interest to me, and red dye is not what I like (it's brownish red)

Thousand Eyes at least have unique dye (their title is of no use to me also).

Glittering Goad have awesome title and nice golden dye

I meant to post it when Night Market started, so now it's too late I think. But maybe it can be helpful to someone for future faction decision. Faction Loyalty is nice, but unique cosmetic unlocks beat it in my case

p.s.
Ruckus dancing Ogre and little dancing party at Goad are a tie for me, peak entertainment

I picked Ruckus and made a ton of gold lol and I cant turn down a red dye, but now I need the gold also, so unfortunately I will mingle with the greedy devils in Goad, Shor shield me.

But yea Ruckus is 100 percent my fav and fits me best. Dont think I'll ever pick thousand eyes though, dont wear green and dont feel like a downtrodden type lol.
