Re: This is how games die
I realize that and it it does indeed feel like screaming into the void. I don’t expect any reaction, although I almost expected the thread to be deleted lol.Thumbless_Bot wrote: »Zyaneth_Bal wrote: »
With u48 notes out eso has reached it’s lowest player pop in 6 years on steam and as this is obviously a general trend all launchers are likely to show the same picture.
Eso is experiencing a steady decline in player interest and count, yet all we get is u48 with absolutely no combat changes and u47 with a minimal number of those following u46 obliterating any semblance of balance the game had left by rushed and not thought through multiclassing.
We are far beyond the point where empty promises like “next update” or “next year” can work, after all zos has long lost all of the players’ trust.
It is odd how devs grit their teeth and push changes that no one want while completely ignoring their players’ feedback when all this mentality achieves is making more players quit.
The recent question and answer event on
reddit only made things worse because it has been shown how out of touch with reality and game’s mechanics the combat team really is, that is to say completely.
Such blatant lack of care and effort on devs’ part is incredibly disappointing and tiring, the community is burned out by empty hopes and vain effort to help improve the game.
I think SkinnyCheeks put it best with his commentary on u48 that we are all "screaming into the void". Zos isn't listening to anyone but themselves and they have shown they are, as I have said before, willing to ride this iceberg right down to the equator. LONG LIVE THE SPREADSHEET!
All these post about subclassing, hybridization, cyro, vengeance, battlegrounds, crafting, etc. are like talking to a matte white wall in the hallway. you likely won't get a response and, if you do, you should probably question where it's coming from.
Re: The more I read lore, the more I hate the orcs.
I am disappoint. Someone's been eating the propaganda machine...
Orcs in ESO are not the standard goblins that you see in Tolkein-esque works, but they have a severe code of honor. The things you're talking about are not the Orcs of Orsinium, and are more like the barbarian tribes that every race has.
Orsinium Orcs, and in fact many of the Orcs you actually meet who are not the "we need a monster of the week in here," are much better. They have a strict code of honor, and it's exactly the opposite of what you say about them as a culture. In fact, Orsinium is hands-down considered the best story ESO has.

Re: Weekly Trial Rewards at Risk? Leaderboard Changes Could Hurt Most Players (U48)
If/when the change happens I very much hope the leaderboards will retain the base class identifier. It will be a sea of Arcansit DDs with an occassional smattering of DK tanks and Warden healers. Maybe that will be enough of a wake up call for ZOS?!
Re: Weekly Trial Rewards at Risk? Leaderboard Changes Could Hurt Most Players (U48)
I agree, it was one thing that stuck out to me during the stream.
Why do they not want us to repeat content? Instead of spending a few hours repeating the weekly trial/arena/IA on different characters for the mailed rewards there will be no point after you've done it once.
Maybe 30 minutes game play once a week instead of possibly a few hours. That makes no sense to me, why are you discouraging repeating content ZoS?

Re: Please stop giving us undyeable feathers on outfit styles
Has anyone ever given positive feedback on non dyeable elements for armors? What makes them do this? I don't know a single person who appreciates these things. Less is sometimes more.

Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
The majority of the AUA replies are just… corporate word sauce. They don’t answer anything.
“That’s a great question - we’ve been looking at this for some time now and while we cannot give a direct answer it is something we are working on and we will have some exciting news about it in the future but we cannot talk about it yet. We will be excited to talk about this another time though, especially because we are really working on this and on improving our communication with the community.”
Copy, paste, done.

Re: Feedback on Leaderboard Changes
For me the removal of class-based leaderboards is a quality of life downgrade.
I don’t enjoy solo arenas so I only do them once in a while, and then I check which class has a short leaderboard list and do it on an “unpopular” class to get an extra weapon from the arena that happens to be the weekly.
Guess I’ll be doing some farming until U48 drops and then… never do the arenas again.
But for newer players it will make getting an extra weapon from a weekly solo arena more difficult and it will take more runs to complete their stickerbook.

Re: PTS Update 48 - Feedback Thread for New Item Sets
Is there a reason why we need a new heavy attack set every patch?
Re: Tone-deaf AUA on Reddit
Underestimating the importance and necessity of balancing changes is a grave mistake. I didn't expect them to launch subclassing flawlessly, but two patches in they haven't even really started to make adjustments on the required scope. I expected little, but the number of appropriate changes we have seen in the last months has been bafflingly small. This is simply not the right time to wait and do nothing.
Even if they have further adjustments planned down the line, they need to at least show that they are able to recognize the gravest issues concretely and show that they understand what has to be done. General statements are meaningless at this point. It doesn't hurt to aim, but at some point you have to shoot.
And another thing: If Vengeance is supposed to be judged like a test, then please do not peddle it like content.
