• PC/Mac: No maintenance – February 16

In a game where a selling point is "Go Where you want" and Explore.....

There are a ton of invisible walls stopping you.

And I don't simply mean on the boundaries of continents, I mean in the middle of maps, on hill tops, on ridges, just in the middle of anything in which hopping over some boulders instead of taking the road around might be slightly more convenient... Invisible wall.

I mean seriously... Nothing Ruins Immersion more then finding a hidden trail up a mountain or across a map, only to hit a blank, invisible barrier that has absolutly no place being there.

And the sad thing is a lot of them are 1 - way barriers. You can try to climb up the hill, or jump over the stream etc, one way and hit them, but then walk around the long way and jump back across or down.

It is utterly pointless, and ruins the players ability to explore the game. Which is... another selling point.

Please ZOS, remove these unnecessary Invisible barriers which serve no purpose except to remind players they are playing a game built on rails, which is not truly a sandbox.

    Um, I don't recall them ever saying "go where you want".

    I recall them saying "Play how you want" but not "Go where you want", in fact I don't recall them ever even hinting at that.

    They did say you go to everywhere in Tamriel, but never that it was at your whim, the fact there's a war on obviously restricts movement, and the war was a big selling point.
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

    Mind what people Do, not what they say, for actions betray a lie.

    That's a mighty fine line to walk, and a bit misleading considering this "IS" a TES game. Just saying... Unless of course your saying this isn't a TES game and ZOE simply used the name and some of the lore to market a WoW knock off.. and a poor one at that.. and I hate WoW....

    I like Archages approach, though I dislike like the game on principle, great idea but bad graphics, and slower then ZOE to update,. At least there are useful things to do in EVERY single area once you hit max level.

    Rather then like ESO and WoW once your max or veteran the only thing for you to do is play in PvP or stay in the high level adventure zone.

    ZOE should look into it.
