Re: Would you like to see the addition of follower dungeons akin to WoW's system? (Explanation below)
It needed to happen from the start. They cram way too much story into dungeons for them to be forced for groups. I still don’t know what the deal with Selene was because everybody blitzes the dungeons.
“But muh MMO”. MMO’s without the ability to see the story solo are a dead genre. And that’s a good thing.
Absolutely. And "muh MMO" is even more ridiculous when you understand that they are complaining that a MMO feature get added into an MMO.
I don't know why this forum always has to fight against common MMO things being added to an MMO.
You see it with harder overland. You see it with fishing. You see with story modes. You see it with rewarding items being added to harder content. You see it with PvP content actually having something fun in it to collect. Why is it so awful if MMO stuff gets added to this MMO so all the different groups can have a fun and rewarding experience???
Re: Sorcerer review and Update 47
Typically when Sorc discusses improving PvE, someone will suddenly start complaining about Sorc's PvP advantage. The most memorable thing for me was when IA was first released, Sorc's pets would be killed by most bosses' area attacks, and when many Sorcs responded to this, some people actually criticized these responses, because Sorc's pets would be killed in PvP, so Sorc's pets should not be alive in IA.
Now fast forward to the subclass version, even though Dark Magic is one of the least used skill lines on the log, there are still some people who claim that Dark Magic is good and complain about Sorc's PvP advantage, even though Sorc no longer has a PvP advantage in U46, and is even at a disadvantage.

Re: How? It is WILD in 2025, for a 10 year old game to have such POOR PERFORMANCE
9 times out of 10 when someone has issues running ESO on pc, it's on the user's side, not the server. Often the problem is anything from a bad internet connection, overloading the pc's hardware, or even addons, which ZoS is not responsible for.
If it is a server-side issue, it is usually announced here on the forums or even the official ESO discord or other places, and seeing as how not everyone on your server is noticing issues, it's safe to say it's on your end this time.
No. This is not factual or even remotely close to factual.
Virtually all performance issues in ESO are server side. It's uncommon for connection and performance issues to be client side with ESO.

Re: Returning player: who makes the best eso builds right now?
I don't understand why people keep recommending Hack. His youtube channel is full of outrageous claims, but the builds are either themed overland setups or some version of a commonly used build (like Oakensorc). I suppose, any build is better than none, but if you are going to use a premade build, then why not to choose one that's actually been tested in all kinds of content and includes parses and in-depth info?
But yeah, I guess clickbait still rules youtube

Re: Would you like to see the addition of follower dungeons akin to WoW's system? (Explanation below)
spartaxoxo you can always leave the grp, find yourself own ppl to run these for quests or simply try another queue. That rly shouldn't be a excuse to introduce a full out new solo mode for dungeons which would split the players right now even further to a negative outcome of the queue as is said. There is enough of ways to handle this named problem of you but that's up to zos (vote kicks etc.) as I also said you can do it in games where you have a healthy pop and queues but that's not a thing in eso atm and denying that would be just yeah whatever I guess
I HAVE left the queue when I want to hear stories. And so have many others. That's the entire problem with the queues. The solution to "activity finder group queues are awful experiences which has made queue times awful," isn't to tell the people who are still there to get out. It's to address the concerns of the playerbase.
These are two big concerns.
People who want to farm and people who want to hear the stories are flaming each other and making each other completely miserable because they have two competing and exclusive goals that make each other's experience worse.
The rewards for grouping are no longer interesting.
The best way to solve this is to make a story mode so those players have an actually good experience with the dungeon, especially new players. And then you add more rewards into the group play experience. IMO
People are much happier to go fast if they all want to do is farm rewards.
Or ZOS can continue to let players farming transmutes push new people out in droves because all they want is to hear the story. That's obviously working out so well. /S
Some of the most successful multiplayer games have healthy communities because they ensure that everyone can enjoy the group stuff. And that includes ensuring people who want the stories can hear them. Whether that's gating progress, implementing cut scenes that have to be unanimously skipped, or solo modes. They don't let one group ruin the experience for the other.
Charm and CC Immunity
Does charm obey CC immunity rules or not? Because after the Vengeance campaign ended and with the advent of subclassing on consoles, the Warden charm script is now everywhere on PS-NA. I've been repeatedly charmed by the same player and multiple players, without the 7 second cooldown, to the point it wrecks your stamina pool for break free. Pots don't work, blocking doesn't work, CP doesn't work. It wasn't like this 3 weeks ago, so did I miss something?

EU is still very shaky despire the fix: a lot of stuttering and assets take long to load even in unpopulated areas. The game feels unstable somehow.

Re: * Very * alarming interventions over guild names in recent weeks
This guild has been around for as long as I can remember. It seems silly that a long standing 10 year old guild would even all the sudden be subjected to a name change. I think if a guild has been established for so many years without incident that this complaint should have been looked at and immediately dismissed. People attacking 10 year old guilds and yet we still have the Gaming Council and their many counterparts sending spam invites to you every time you use a wayshrine where one of them are.
Re: How? It is WILD in 2025, for a 10 year old game to have such POOR PERFORMANCE
Hear me out....
"2025 for a 10 year old game to have such poor performance".
This game is 10 years old - the engine/dev work is even older (8 I think?).
So with the engine being roughly 18 years old... think about ALL the crazy modern things that have been added.
This is how I view it. The engine is a rusty 2007 Honda Civic where the devs are trying to mod it into a cutting-edge Corvette Stingray. They bolt on modern bells like subclassing, seasonal content drops, ray-traced graphics, etc, making it shine on the surface. But the ancient frame buckles under the load: patching takes forever, lag spikes and rubberbanding plague combat, and it overheats during busy hours, leading to crashes and frustration. It's a got tones of patchwork and is impressive in many many spots, but the outdated core just can't handle 2025's demands without constant breakdowns.
So yeah... performance has been pretty bad the last few years - BUT they keep adding new things and it's improving. Is it like a modern game that launched in 2025 - not even close. Is it still pretty good for an engine thats 18 years old - I'd say so.
