Dang, what happened to all the threads of DOOM?

billp_ESO

Now this forum looks like a regular game forum, it's missing all those threads of DOOM! What happened?

Nox_Aeterna

Cleaned by the mods since it is against forum rules. Just like the i quit threads.

They do appear but dont last long until closed.

LonePirate

Check back in a month or so once all of the six month subs have expired. Things might be different around here.

Oh they exist, believe me. In fact that is really the only time mods and/or ZoS members comment on threads or make their presence otherwise known on this forum is when someone breaks the rules or posts something NOT related to ESO's technical issues. Most of their comments are your general copy/paste format where they may or may not change a word here or there in different situations.

So i'm guessing you made this thread wondering if the game is living up to its expectations.

No, no it is not. At least when it comes to PvP. PvE is quite fun, though.

Sindala

Peep's getting fed up of complaining to deaf ears. Zeni wont listen, talk or change their ideas so the game is doomed to F2P for the console crew.
You really wanna hang around for that?

jelliedsoup

I was a doomsayer but im hopeful following the news from the guild summit.

The game is improving, may not be at the rate some want though.

Mods can sink threads. Just look back a few pages.

All those people have moved on to games where your toon actually feels like a fighter with quick reflexes instead of a spastic waving a sword around while your key presses are still on their way to the server, and back, or, whatever.

AshySamurai

Maybe all people who promised quit decide to prove their words and they quit and don't play this game anymore?

Itoq

ESO should be expanding the number of pvp servers at any moment.

Razzak

Some have already quit, some found new meaning in ESO, some decided to lighten their attitude on this forum, some are simply waiting for new things to come, some are not using this forum any more, some have had their threads deleted by forum admins.
Many people, many reasons.

You make fun but PVP has now crawled down to unplayable levels, it was the worse it's ever been last night, two entire warbands I was in logged out and I followed after it.

Unmai

I was playing on Thornblade on EU last night and didn't have a problem at all.

The end is finally nigh and all doomsayers are gasping in awe at the beauty of destruction, incapable of even muttering half a 'told-you-so'. Rejoice!

DOOM!!!!!!!!

"Dang, what happened to all the threads of DOOM?"

They've beaten their swords into plowshares and now they're all 'oohing' and 'ahhing' over some ZOS employee's hairstyle in another thread.

ebondeath

Molag Bal snacks on negative and dead threads for lunch, along with a cool glass of the angry tears of gamers.

And six months later....

Oh believe me, they are somewhere......they are always somewhere.....

There are some threads that get outright deleted, but most get closed. The threads of doom usually occur after a patch or when the game is unplayable, as in they have nothing better to do. Right now things are somewhat stable, they supposedly "fixed" some of the crashes in PvP so that will reduce the number of rage posts. Also, the bugs from last patch have mostly been resolved, so not as many reasons for people to come to forms, always a surge after a major "patch" due to the vast amount of bugs also injected.

There is a lot of QQ over grinding at the moment and people who want others to be forced to group with them , but otherwise just normal passive aggressive, sarcasm, and disappointment , but not doom. I think most lack the enthusiasm or passion at them moment that a Doom thread requires. We all want something new and more, there is little hope for a while, but there is hope.

Also, a Doom thread is to get a reaction, but ZOS reaction is to moderate, close, or delete, rather than address as a company who wants an active community would.

it would really only take one active representative to come on the forums (as a representative) and talk, play, start some threads (never be the moderator) . They would have to have a thick skin at first, but in short order they would have backing of large number of players, and that would help the community tremendously. Speaking positively about something is almost magic in the way it improves attitudes, but to really help the source must have perceived power to make it so.

If they really wanted to help they could have a few devs or representatives openly play (i do not think devs actually play this game, they just cannot be aware of some of the issues), not at GMs or having GM power, but simply being know to be a conduit of information.

just my 2g

There should be a patch that removes all the unhappy players. Like a little nudge to get you on your way to another game.

Doomsayers and haters yes....just people who are unhappy with certain things and want the best for the game no.

Do you have idea how hard it would be to find a group then?

Hmm....I think that patch would have to include a full refund and an apology from them for charging you to be a beta tester.

Good luck with that one, cos it ain't happening.

Honestly, I suspect quite a bit of these were related to the launch of the game; which is to say specific to the type of vitriol that any of a number of games (MMOs) can get when they launch. If the game in question is good, then the phase passes; and ESO is great, so it has run it's course.

Vatter

there are no more doom threads because ZoS deletes them. I have been posting threads on how to get game time back, exploiters (with pics and video), broken skills (video) and just how bad of a state cyrodiil is in but Zos deletes them within 15 mins and sends me warnings that they will ban me if I continue.
I have had nothing but problems with this game since launch all it does is crash, desync, or flat out break. and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with my end.

So you don't see these threads NOT because the game is awesome but because the people who write them are threatened, banned, quit or flat out tired of them falling on deaf and incompetent ears.
