Re: Community Update – Vengeance Testing & Cyrodiil
The side by side test showed that vengeance is not going to be viable. Not enough people will play it, even if it's the only option.
That would depend on the platform it seems, as PC EU got enough players for both campaigns.

Oh good, it starts with a complete non-answer, this Q&A should be worth the time. /s
I've literally sat doing nothing before, safe inside an empty keep, and been stuck in combat for 10 minutes. What kills could I be getting? What monsters could be aggroed on me? Yes. If you are in combat, you are in combat. That's how the game works. We already knew that, that's why there was clearly a bug, which has been talked about for years on end now.
Yeah, this was one of the big things I thought Vengeance was gonna address: Slowly dripfeed features back into the game until bugs start reappearing.
The Vengeance Campaigns do not have the same Combat Bug as Live Grayhost, I can fight some huge zerg inside a keep, back off six feet, wait seven seconds, and I'm out of combat free to change my skills and quickwheel. I had honestly thought Vengeance would've followed up on this by figuring out what was removed that generates the bug.

If they can't fix Grey Host they can't develop a new system that will work properly either.
Yep, pretty obvious if you think about it for even a second or two.
ZOS probably suffers from what's called brain drain, but that's speculation from me.
It's never a good sign when a games creator and leading dev quits or gets fired. (still not sure if he quit or got fired, but he's not with ZOS anymore either way)
Re: What should ZoS change?
My top priority would be stable servers. Modern servers that can handle the load. Lags, skill delays, skills that don't fire at all, and things like that really spoil the fun of the game.
It happens to me often enough that I'm simply slowed down by delays.
I'm sure every tank knows how frustrating it is when block or taunt don't respond properly. When trifecta runs are ruined because of it.
The second most important thing would be to fix bugs, of course. There are so many that I don't even want to list them...
They did it once and it proved to be a huge success. They could do it again if they wanted to.

Re: What has caused you to quit the game or barely play any more? What would bring you back?
This is from an xbox NA player.
1. The game going in a direction i didnt like. Tbh i loved ESO for its raiding and later on its PVP. However the game feels more like online skyrim with friends compared to an MMO.
2. The lack of action by the devs towards improvements overall in the game. Even after the "year of improvements" it yielded very little improvements.
3. The fact that zos as a whole just didnt listen to feedback for the longest time when they were given piles and piles of data supporting it, they just turned a blind eye to it. Why even have a PTS if you just ignore the playerbase?
4. Update 35. This was the beginning of the end for me. It decimated the raiding community on all platforms. Like point 3, zos did not care at the time. Even before i quit around a year ago, raiding on xbox NA was dead.
Literally only came back to the forums after seeing eightpuppies latest yt about his opinions on the game. So thought id check out the forums. Seems like nothing has changed since ive been gone.

Re: Should subclassing must been removed?

It’s quite easy to understand.
You have these mid-tier players all trying to push content they are not ready for, being forced into builds they do not want to play because they have neither the experience, knowledge, or reputation to play something deemed “off-meta.”
They follow cookie-cutter builds from their favorite content creators, and now those creators are complaining because build videos are their job, and mid-tier strugglers are not interested in 2nd best, so they get not even a quarter of the add revenue that they would normally. Negative affirmation takes hold, and then you have those same mid players stumbling onto a forum to complain about how unhappy they are, oblivious to the incoming Class Reworks designed to help them.
“Source: dude, trust me.”
People dislike subclassing for a lot of different reasons. Trying to paint everyone who disagrees with you as the same kind of player, based on guesses and no real proof, doesn’t really help your point. It just comes off as dismissive.
Yeah, sorry. You guys don’t speak for us.
They do speak for the loads of people who quitted since subclassing was released thought.
I appreciate how youre pushing the pro subclassing agenda with passion, for real.
But in the long run the current path ZOS is chosing to go, is harming the game, as we can tell by the dwinding of the playerbase and the unhappyness of the community since months - years. Specially the last year made everything only worse.
I can just tell you, ZOS wont be paying for infrastructure and servers to keep this game alive for 100 solo players, when everyone else quitted.
And atm thats the trend, people going on masses.
Re: What has caused you to quit the game or barely play any more? What would bring you back?
Low quality and overall amount of content, developers ignore players feedback, few years of terrible combat design decisions, long time forgotten pvp content, homogenization and absence of diversity in high end pve content
lack of ingame rewards for clearing hardest content in the game and absolutely enormous, greedy, predator monetization
"breaking daily quests" event was a final point for me, cancelled sub and deleted the game
I may return if devs start working on the improvements but unfortunately there is no sign of this

Re: Can we please do something about mass reporting players?

I have no comment on this thread's content but what you say is definitely not a genuine concern to have about PvP.
Nearly all drama in PvP starts with getting into someone's DMs. If you stay out of people's DMs then you stay out of drama. You can even put yourself in Offline Mode so that nobody can DM you.
Especially if you are just a casual player surfing along with your zone zerg or something, you are basically anonymous and people will leave you completely alone.
I wish that was all that was to it, but its not. Unfortunately, there is a lot of drama in some campaigns about who gets crowned Emperor for your alliance. The reality is that there are some players who are just on a LOT more than others, and thus, if someone outside their circle wants to Emp, there is a price to be paid (typically gold). If you don't suck up to these people or play nice, they tend to ban together to report bomb you, and people have gotten banned just due to the sheer number of reports that were sent. Players get a "free vacation" so to speak while they take a deeper look into the matter.
This situation DOES lead to some salty exchanges, but not always. But the whole Emp mechanic does lead to a lot of toxicity in PVP when it comes to Emp popularity politics, and if you offend the powers that be, you could find yourself wrongfully on the end of a report bomb.
It's actually pushed a lot of quality players out of the game on Xbox NA.
