"Very Sorry ZOS, but Night Market is the worst contents in this 11 years."

"Please no more, those type of contents, seriously"

Despite of exotic attractive atmosphere visual design of new town. (^_^)
There're too many of "critical flaw" at there. (T_T)

1, Why bottom line "key" has time limitation period? It should be "permanent".

We can't help other player, because of that time limitation.

2, Lack of fast travel point.

This annoys us sooooooooo much !!!!
I don't want to keep slaying trash mob just only for transportation !

3, Simply boring.

No dramatic story. It's not ElderScrolls anymore.

4, Opulent Ordeal Trial game design is too much "overwhelming" nonsense.
< https://hyperioxes.com/eso/trial/opulent-ordeal >

I think that most of first attempting player will not suit themselves against "orb running".
It looks like "Lucent Citadel trial rule", but too much complex. It is very difficult to keep in touch with
team mate about each zone's situation easily. Definitely, it needs proper "UI design support" more.
Especially for newbie player who don't have trial experience.

5, Game balance is crazy.

I know it focuses group combat contents.
But, some of them are far more nonsense difficulty than Vet DLC dungeon.

6, Too much grindy!

Do we really need season style ESO ? Honestly say, I prefer previous style ESO.
Every NM game design based on grinding fatigue. Zero enjoyable aspect as ElderScrolls theme.

"Well...please no more these contents. 70% guild mate ignore this contents,
Each time we play this contents as "Pick up group" situation.
I can't play this with guild mate anyway.

    Well, Night Market is just stressful for me. I'm tired of recycled grinding event anyway.
    Burn out!

    Personally opinion, the night market is targeted to those PVP players who always complain.

    I am not into the Night Market nor am I into subclassing. For me, ESO has not delivered anything new in quite some time.

    I need WinterHold.
    I need Whiterun.
    I need Riverwood.
    I don't need season style anymore.

    I can only laugh about those saying the trial is too complicated or complex. The mechanics are insanely EASY and even new players should be able to understand it fast. The only ones having a problem are those, that refuse to use voice chat AND refuse to look up a guide. If youre not willing to do one of these two, you should just stay away from group content. We had 70yo+ people doing it with us without any problems.

    Though Night Market is very much not my cup of tea, I'm glad a fair number of folks are enjoying it.

    One recommendation I have would be to allow us to self-rez on the spot. If no one rez's me during a big fight and I rez to a roof top, I die to respawned trash mobs on the way back to the fight - over and over until I quit in frustration.

    I'm member of 2 guild now. One of them is PVE group contents focused guild.

    I've been checking my guild member list through this week.
    But usually only 2 or 3 people stay in NM constantly, most of other guy (regardless CP amount)
    keep doing other non event dungeon or trial...or might play overland story contents,
    ..or PVP.

    The first day, there're much of people running across the field!
    Wow! It looks like "event" impression! \(^_^)/

    But after 3 days later, it became lonely place. (~_~)
    I've never seen such event situation so far.

    "They noticed...something."

    Well...even PVP event was better. I've seen tremendous player working in Cyrodiil actually
    through the "White Strake".

    Maybe...
    Hardcore MMO fan people love Night Market kind of thing. I don't know.
    But clearly, ElderScrolls fan hate those style contents.

    I am elder scrolls fan. Wasn't to keen on Arena or Daggerfall, I played Eye of the Beholder back then. But I've been on the Elder Scrolls train since Morrowind 20+ years ago.

    I despise PUG dungeons. Don't touch vet trials or dungeons. Barely done any normal trials except for with my old guild.

    I flipping Night Market. It's such a casual big group PvE experience. No pressure. Find a zerg and roll with it. It's awesome.

    "....refuse to use voice chat"

    I don't want to hear real player's voice through the quest. Really, no thanks.
    It will destroy immersion of ElderScrolls instantly.

    Or If you can act like professional voice acter, and talk like NPC, then welcome though...

    If you dont like it dont do it - the game is vast and has all different types of content for everybody, existing and upcoming.

    I am very glad they are varying the content and are trying out different things and not just recycling the same type of content that just targets one player type over and over and over which was the main reason the game became stale and was losing players...

    I hope they will keep doing this for the future - rotate different type of new content, story, solo, group, pvp etc. and keep trying out things and listen to the community feedback...

    And from all i can gathering looking at the activity level in game and in the zone the night market overall is a big success and I am glad I gave it a shot (But I am also really looking forward to the thieves guild questline or anything else they come up with).

    I've already decided I probably won't get all the dungeons or trial. What's the incentive outside of some achievements that don't matter to me? I already have everything except the skin from the associated golden pursuit. And the key system makes queuing for the trial a nightmare.

    So yes, the NM could be much better with some design tweaks for sure.

    I still fall out of my chair every time I see or hear someone refer to ToT as PvP.
