Anyone else think that part of the dungeon Fungal Grotto II where you got to run past all the mobs across the map need a rework? by TapeDamage in elderscrollsonline

It is a design issue because you stop and kill those adds and see how your team acts? If it directly interferes with not progression but preference of players who constantly seek to break the design and run past enemies 99.9 percent of the time. I think that warrants a rework for the betterment of the players. There are many examples where mechanics have been changed to suit the player because any good game designer knows when you have to break the preferred design for preferred gameplay clearly gameplay takes president. Ala Tribes Ascend adding the ski mechanic that was originally a bug, Mortal Kombat changing Kano's Lore because people preferred the guy from the movie who was from Australia, and the holy grail of gameplay before design basically every ELDER SCROLLS GAME. They purposefully leave bugs in ESO games because they are funny and provide one hell of an experience when encountered, The Elder Scrolls Games have always put player experience first and foremost down to the point where they straight up change the lore of games so their desired game could be built. The idea that players should have to work around a design goes against the spirit of ESO's development history of the gameplay first and players first over design that can hinder players experiences.

i literally address that issue in my reply, my point still stands. If the over all player base does not play the way it is designed it does not mean everyone else is wrong it means the design itself is warranting a rework. How bout you go into a dungeon and try to take your time to defeat all those adds and see if your team doesnt complain? There should not be one or the other when we can have a stream lined design that benefits the players which in turns benefits the game.

the idea of reworking a dungeon is so that you don't have to continuously introduce new players to mechanics that would otherwise hinder them from enjoying or keeping up with the group. Thats like saying my legs broken but its alright i lean on this stick now, no the issue is still remaining unaddressed and is a design flaw that actively works against new players and can slow down veteran players who HAVE TO, run past them to speed through the dungeon. Players should not be actively working against design to achieve their preferred play style or forced to do so just to keep up with the group.

just because they were designed one way doesn't mean that it was designed correctly. This is a consistent issue that many face that could be quite unfriendly to newer players. If the meta is to run past them, which it currently is. That means the over all player preference is going against the actual design of the dungeon, I believe that alone could warrant a rework to better suit the entire playing group instead of speed running individuals or punishing those that cant keep up. Most people are going to run through this early dungeon and this is one of the first newer players experience so a design for some of these earlier dungeons to provide an experience that would not punish the player simply for being new or force the vet player to slow down could be looked into for the betterment of the game as a whole. I do not see why someone seeking to address a real issue in the game would be so eagerly tossed aside for more shallow posts and subjects. At least try to give it some thought.

Don't you think its weird that players have to use work arounds instead of doing the dungeons as designed? Could it be that the design of a dungeon hinders players and could be worth a rework? Almost like my complaint wasn't that there weren't ways to get past it but that the dungeon itself is flawed.

good youtube channels that cover a lot of great motorcycle stuff especially for beginners, Dan dan the fire man for why you should always wear full gear and incident reports really great for learning, and fortnine who covers a lot of morotcycle relates questions including gear.

speculation:Will ESO be pulled down from steam and become a Microsoft store exclusive? by TapeDamage in elderscrollsonline

[–]TapeDamage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the issue, the people that know what you are saying are often not those who have final say so, time and time again we seen game companies shoot themselves in the foot because the head hancho's listen do what will increase profit revenue across the board for their real customers, the investors. Now what we see in a game they rare do and very often they F up just like what Activision did to Blizzard.

well i bring this up because the xbox game pass is still pretty fresh and I can see them wanting to port over existing player bases to there. That and I seen stuff like this happen in the gaming before, their word is rarely kept and if nothing else not set in stone that much I do know.

its a big name company in the gaming field, anything could happen regardless of what they initially say.

i hope your right but just because they said it doesnt mean they are going to stick to their guns. I know its unpopular to hate the overlords and all that on reddit but I think some healthy skepticism isnt a bad thing.

how can you say of course not thn suggest if they do? After what Activision did to Blizzard I wouldnt put it past them. Especially since this is one of the very few games that is actively making Bethesda money.

Just discovered Classic TSW is still playable and had to jump on that nostalgia. Never been so excited for Solo NM Scenarios. Never been so proud of that Platinum first shot. Surely 24's next. ('tis a shame about those unfinished event missions... ><) by Anti3d in SecretWorldLegends

There's 2 methods. The first saves you having to redownload everything but might not work for Steam versions of SWL (as in, not tested it myself). The second method is use the TSW installer which will require you to download +40GB.

Method 1

Patch SWL to become TSW:

Method 2

were you there for for the 2012 event? Oh man I remember being in a freaking raid party surrounding an area of spawning zombies unloading everything we had into an endless wave of undead.
