Is this ZOS last chance for you?

bitaken · June 2014

I have a lot of hope for this game. I love the PvP in this game. It's really all I do and all I have wanted to do since I saw a three realm mosh pit style AvA system. However, due to constant bugs, lag, exploits and other annoying problems the game has degraded quite a bit.

Is this their last chance to fix it for you? It may be for me. Currently I know that games of this magnitude usually have problems out of the gate - and that this one certainly stumbled.

However, if too many players leave the game's PvP then it is not nearly as much fun, and populations have been dwindling on every campaign.

Just curious what people's opinions are at this point. There is a lot of rage on the forums - and I am tired of random crashes / rollbacks / constant lag after 6 PM EDT / myriads of other issues for PvP. If they just fixed the constant lag I would probably be a lot happier with the game.

On the NA server at least the lag in the Wabbajack campaign is so bad I can bolt escape and go backwards. Or bolt escape and go twice at once thirty seconds later. My crystal fragments take thirty seconds to cast. Every day I play there, people are saying how bad the lag is and how it is unplayable. If they don't make significant strides in fixing it with this patch, I'm afraid for the future of the PvP in this game, and possibly the game as a whole.

I am lucky that I enjoy just about every part of the game (not done group dungeons yet really so can't comment on that) and am a really slow leveler, so because of that Zenimax, for me personally, has quite some time to fix things.

The lag I have in (mainly) the Wabbajack campaign seems to be mostly related to a bug with offline group members. When I solo I hardly have any lag at the busiest of times, but that could be just luck on my part.

There is a lot to fix and I hope they manage to do it before it's too late. I know I am not a good representation of the average player so quite a few may have already left or will leave before they manged to fix the most important problems.

So no, to me this is not the last chance, nor is the next or the one after that, but I would not be surprised that quite a few will think differently. Hopefully that will be a tiny, yet sadly vocal minority.

I already bought Wildstar to wait for the NB fix i have still 7 days to login and feed the horse and research. When i logged in yesterday, i got massive lag and 1550 Dmg from standard and caltrops everywhere, i then went back to wildstar and hope the will get it fixed, cause i like TESO much.

(not directed at above^)
I never expected this game or any MMO to be released without flaws. I'm not going to go run over to a new MMO under the illusion that they will release without problems, bugs, bots, exploits etc.

Look at Wild Star. If you do a google search of Wild Star buy gold you will find that Gold Spammers have already set up shop on Wild Star and ready to start spamming as soon as it releases.

In fact right now I can go download the latest Wild Star hacks that include, but not limited too...
SuperFly
SpeedHack (any speed possible, does not speed up other things)
JumpHeight
InfiniteDash
Teleportation
Object Tracking

No way I'm trading two months of progress, countermeasures, and banning so that I can can run into the same things on a different game with no progress.

Every games has hacks or gold sellers. But my class dont feels broken in PvE at the moment. In PvP i have no strange behaviors. All quests till now were Bug free. It feels more solid at the moment.

If i must decide a bug free Teso or bug free Wildstar i will go TESO, but i dont want to go offtopic you can edit Wildstar with any Single or Multiplayer game.

I want play Teso but with its flaws it is a pain in the *piep* as a stamina based NB. I can respec to caster but this is not what i want.

The Lag is also not a good thing in an action based MMO. This are all things which make me think the do not test there stuff if they will not do in the future this will kill a good game.

No.

No game has had its best PVP in the first 6 months, Its takes time to balance and fix. Even DAOC wasnt the great PVP game we remember until after it had been out 6+ months

limbaughb14_ESO · June 2014

No, there is no other open world pvp game like this available. Go back to your lobby pvp...

You are the kind of NB that is going to get us love, then FOTM, then nerfed into the floor.. Stop blaming your lack of skill on our few remaining broken skills.

Its not their last chance for me. I am pretty ticked about some of the things, but I do realize the game is only 2 months old. As soon as this level imbalance is fixed, ill get back on PvP

Here is whats in the future for ESO and mind you this is planned by ZOS.

Free To Play $$$(with Micro Tran$action$!)$$$

Those of us that are subscribing to play right now are just the whip cream on top of ZOS's bank account (banana split). F2P isn't always a negative thing for gaming companies, after all it's a business and I wonder how many of those horses they have sold at $15 a pop? I see many of them riding around.

They already had their last chance. I moved onto another game as my main game. I will play ESO on and off till my sub expires but the other game that just released is already 100x better as far as bugs/dev communication goes.

Heck they even patched issues same day that people reported.
