I cant enter with the Boat to the Abecean Sea. Its saying i have no right to travel there? Is a group needed?

Raising the ship was a cool moment.

I really felt like I was supposed to have brought a group for the ship fight; every time there was hull damage I’d get swarmed because it took so long to repair.

The quest arrow pointing to the treasure off the side of the ship is a bit confusing when the game is actually trying to point me at the Dwemer dive bell on the ship; I kept looking for a crane or something to pull it on board.

I didn’t really get the hang of using the harpoon on enemies but it was fine on clams and volcanic vents.

The schools of ‘sharks’ are a little too obviously not sharks. I’m assuming there’s no actual shark model to use, but maybe call them blood salmon instead? Fang trout?

Falling to my death under the shipwreck with the big pit under it is a bit…odd, given that we’re supposed to be underwater.

Footsteps are too dry - when I walk it sounds like I’m still on land. Some of the other sounds too, but the walk sounds are constant.

How did fighting Clackgrack, The Covetous Claw, feel? Any notes?

I was a little surprised that it seemed like that my WW Fear appeared to work on him. Other that seemed to be as expected.

The weak character I used had no real issues with him. My two actually built characters steam rolled him.

How did you enjoy fighting the Lousewhisperer Sea Elves? Did the mechanics of the battle make sense? Did you sink the enemy vessel or drive her off?

It was interesting. It felt a little slow at the start as it feels like you are just hitting the catapult and waiting and then repeating. But, then the other ship starts to move and it gets far more chaotic. I'd note that the other ship at times seems to be traveling backwards is that intended behavior?

My weak character died the first time. Then, with a companion drove the enemy vessel off after a chaotic fight/repair experience.

My built characters didn't have any serious issues and sunk the enemy vessel.

It felt like it was more effective to focus on killing npcs/the enemy ships and ignoring the damage because repairing it yourself seemed to take too long.

I wasn't 100% clear on how to loot the fleeing/destroyed ship at first. But, some of that confusion might have come from playing BDO and at times needing to jump off the boat to loot things fully. Fishing up your spoils completes before all of the spoils are fished up if you destroyed the ship.

How did fighting the Reefwardens, Lucky Gretch and Bright Bazzle, feel? Any notes?

I would note that if your companion ends up holding threat on Gretch and you don't remember the command for your companion to come back to you the fight can be a bit of a slog once they get a bubble as you can't get rid of it if you can't get them to come to you.

My weak character did have a death vs the full group. My stronger characters had no issue stomping them.

How did fighting Krelzimar feel? Any notes?


Seemed fine. It felt like much of the power of the fight was in the mechanic rather than the actual npcs.

Do you have any feedback on the puzzles and experience of navigating the sea floor?

If you fail to get air for very long the visual changes make it hard to see to get air. I ended up just spamming heals and heading towards the exit.

When you die, your companion doesn't get an air bubble back when you respawn which can kill them.

It was kinda surprising when my character fell to the bottom of the ocean out of the boat.

On the weak character the combat part could feel like a bit of a slog underwater but, it felt fine on the more optimized builds.

What did you like about this new event?

The rewards seemed nice with the various decorations and motif leads ect. It does offer an experience the ESO didn't previously have. The little story bits seemed nice. I liked the one sea creature in the background of the fight

What didn't you like about this new event?

It works as an event but, I'd say the underwater/ship combat parts aren't good enough to be a regular content item of any size.

Would it be possible to have some up and down movement on the other objects in the water so they feel less like they are on rails?

Additional Notes

You might bring back The Fair Winds for sale when you run the event.

It feels a little odd to have a defensive the fight be triggered by ringing a bell. It might have felt better to have the loop be borders - eliminate borders - fire on the enemy ship - more borders + enemy ship fires at you/evades you.
