I hope there's improvements to combat impact to make the game feel less floaty would be nice to have hitstop, hit reactions and better impact sounds that differ based off of weapons/armor. That would improve the game everywhere instead of just being something contained in a chapter/content pass/season.

For new things, I really want new weapons namely pikes, crossbows and destruction+1H. I want new experiences in the moment to moment gameplay. Not to say new areas aren't exciting (although re-used asset flips and obscure places like Solstice are unwanted) but new weapons will benefit both old and new content.

Also while the letter is focused on how ESO fell short over the past year I just want to say I really liked the dialogue option changes and that was really the one saving grace of the past year. So I hope the team continues to write dialogue with more flavor/options!

Thank you for the down to earth end-of-year letters. Transparancy is very important.

And yeah, many things have gone terribly wrong last year, most of all the writhing wall event and all the game's bugs(general and event ones). Personally I am going to stay hopeful and positive. Though I really hope next year will actually show us all the good the change of content release model has done, so far I haven't seen anything good come from this yet. Which as a huge ESO fan/supporter feels really bad.

But overal I am still hoping for many more wonderful years to come, and for ESO to become the best MMO on the market!

PS: Merry christmas/happy holidays/happy new year to everyone!
PPS: Is there a CP expansion coming? Where we can go far beyond the 3600 CP limit. (would love to see the CP system go into the hundreds of thousands or even millions)

It's definitely continuing on the wrong direction.
Was about to try to enjoy the event, but, again, disapointed.

It's definitely good way to spend my holiday with my family, far away from this game.
See ya next year ! Enjoy !
(they already killed the french forum and community, that going to be the same with the foreign players)

I also find it off-putting for someone to come into a thread and be like, "I don't have that issue, so this thread shouldn't exist / you should make other ones."

Many 3-way matches were just as painful as these cherry picked examples.

I thought the sheer number prove they're not being cherry picked. Just out of curiosity, how many of these do you think have been posted so far?

balanced chaosball:

balanced chaosball 2:

balanced crazy king:

balanced crazy king 2:

balanced domination (with Haki):

balanced deathmatch (with Haki):

balanced deathmatch 2:

Its very much cherry picked (very surprising @Haki_7 didnt post the actually balanced matches he was part of, I know ).
I can also cherry pick more matches like that if you want to act like that proves anything.

That's all people on the forums do. The 4v4 and 8v8 game modes are way better than a 3 team system that is just fighting for position to third party, which I did enjoy, but ultimately is less competitive than a straight up fight. The devs just did a bad job with the 2 team system, but it is far superior.

But don't the hundreds of scoreboards that have already been posted prove that the 4 flaws make 2 teams bgs objectively worse?

Relic 1 & 2, impossible to lose. Thankfully the first one ended quickly.

Crazy King 1 & 2, impossible to lose:

DM 1, impossible to win. Green-5 had no choice but to go around targeting newcomers.

DM 2 & 3, impossible to lose:

Destruction of Battlegrounds Chapter 114: Waiting 16 minutes for a lopsided match (Solo 8v8 PC/EU)

No, believe it or not, posting cherry picked screenshots doesn't prove anything at all. Basketball players are typically taller than average, but I can post hundreds of videos of shorter players being better than taller players, does this prove anything? Of course not. If that's literally your standard of evidence, good luck my man.

And it‘s caused by a lot of issues wich have been adressed often and people like you come and gaslight the adressing people to feed zos narrative.

The worst about those people is they demand facts because they assume one didn't do his homework, but when one spits facts right in front of them then they ignore or retreat without a word because they ain't interested in the facts anyway.
They are interested in the illusion of being right.
They only demand a proof in the hope one can't deliver the facts.

I don't think it's worth putting in the effort into speculating-- they've most likely been working on the next several, they can't just take a hard turn on what they've already planned out. We'll find out more in just three weeks.

It's nice to imagine everyone on an older PC can just add some more memory (although thanks to AI shills RAM is absurdly expensive right now), but it's not necessarily that simple. It has to be compatible with the rest of your setup so a memory upgrade can easily turn into needing a new motherboard and CPU, and a new PSU to run it, and a new case to fit it in...basically a whole new PC.

My PC is 3 years old and I still think of it as relatively new and I have no intention to upgrade any time soon. I'd be willing to bet there's a lot more PC players on older machines "holding the game back" than console players on the previous generation. For one thing PC gamers don't have the same incentive to upgrade every few years because there's all kinds of things you can do to get newer games to run on older PC hardware but absolutely nothing can make a PS5 game run on PS4.
