Its been fun, but...

Crag was a nice try. I'll even go so far as to say it was a spirited attempt. But now that all the raiders have left ESO for Wildstar, I cannot even find a simple veteran group for V5 dungeons. I cannot find a group for anything other than anomaly farming in Crag.

So I am forced to leave a game I like to go play a game I have serious reservations about. And all because I want challenging raids.

Maybe ESO was just never for me. I sure wanted to fight for it, though. Tell people why they should look past the bad and see the good. But I just can't anymore.

I'll check in from time to time. Wish you all the best!

Probably playing Wildstar.

Wildstar + NCsoft touched it = SCREW THAT!

(ya we know they didn't code it. Name one massive successful game that had NCsoft behind it)

I kinda want to join their forums and just start copying their 'this game is dead' and 'worst developers ever' posts to put them up on display here. But that's really a waste, because some people still wouldn't see the absurdity of it all.

I am glad a 'diehard old-school WoW' game finally came out. Maybe ESO will allowed to be different now.

The sheer difference in the level of polish between the two games, and the professionalism, and openess with customers is absurd. ZoS is positively shameful compared to Carbine. And that's coming from someone who had zero desire to play WS until a few days ago when a friend bought it. Within the first day of early access they hotfixed several bugs.

Wildstar is full of a bunch of players ...

Who will be moving back to World of Warcraft as soon as the WoD expansion hits.

Not that there's necessarily anything wrong with that, mind you.

Both ESO and WS can co-exist just fine. One does not have to be 'better' than the other.

I play ESO for a 'serious high fantasy' gaming experience. Wonderful visuals. Meaningful quest lines.

I play WS for a hoopty fun time with over the top visuals and irreverent atmosphere.

It is only when I get to the 'End Game' in ESO that a real problem is going to emerge. I have no desire to play GW2 style zerg-fest PvP. I have no desire to endlessly grind timed content (ala GW2 style Fractals) for little reward.

At that point, the Raiding model of WS may win out over ESO if there is not new and meaningful content for my friends and I to play here.

City of Heroes was awesome. I've got friends online who are going to be playing Wildstar, and I've tried out the betas. Ultimately it has two things against it. Firstly, NCSOFT is backing it, and I've got a bad taste in my mouth from them after the way they shut down City of Heroes. It was the manner in which they promoted and sold things hard and then ninja'd the shutdown. A couple hundred thousand people were upset about that. I've got nothing against Carbine, but there is a part of me that just doesn't want to support anything NCSOFT touches now. The second thing about Wildstar that isn't for me is the cartoony nature of it, but its all in good fun and overall one of the best designed MMO's I've seen. I can recognize that and still not be totally enamored of the artwork.

One of the things I'd actually love to see is serious Housing like we find in Wildstar though. Give us each our own pocket of Oblivion to carve out a home. Give us our own Eyevea, or whatever, where we can grow Telvanni mushrooms or Bosmer tree home with Alchemy. Perhaps a Longhouse with Woodworking. Let us do all of this and let us have our friends in on the project. Let us link our homes or even have a Guild hall. All sound awesome... I'd love that. Something to show off when I'm not in Cyrodil or a Dungeon, or Craglorn or whatever comes up to replace it down the line.

I agree, and I hope that Wildstar inspires ZoS to step it up, and vice versa. Competition is good.
