It's a very serious game! I'm glad you are having fun because I am having a very good time as well!

I see people complaining left and right while I'm just there playing and having fun.

This thread doesn't really have a point to it. Just felt like there was a lack of positive threads around.

I think people might be taking this game too seriously.

this is me playing ESO

this game is fun even though there are a few things that definately need to be fixed or improved. Alot of people just focus on the negative rather than enjoying the game.

Emma_Overload

I enjoy it, too! The reason you see so many people complaining is because they love the game, but they just want this one little thing fixed...

I had a blast 1-50. The main leveling experience is probably the best I've ever seen in an MMO.

The problem is that VR1-14 are a terribly implemented afterthought, and the game has nothing that normally give MMOs any type of longevity. Very few to no social aspects/events, nothing in terms of character customization outside of dyes, terrible performance and balance in Cyrodil (the only real end-game), and the list goes on.

Basically, if you're just looking for an MMO to play every once in a while over a couple months and then move on, ESO is perfect. Myself, along with many others, were hoping for an MMO and MMO community that we could play with for years.

Tbh, if you enjoy the questing, there's really not much to complain about. I actually felt that way right from the start (even in the late beta stages). People who say the game "is a buggy mess" have no idea. Problems there are, and they are kind of systemic and concern mostly the endgame content.

I love your username haha

Don't worry, even the people complaining really do love this game, everyone gets frustrated at times. Happy to hear you're enjoying it!

OP, you have to understand some of these people have been at this a while. They've had expectations and many of those have fallen short or simply been lopped off at the knee.

I'm guilty myself.

But...glad you are enjoying the game, and hopefully you will continue to do so for some time. Though we grumble, I suspect many of us hope, down deep, that they figure it out and turn it around, so those like you do not become like us. a year from now.

Regarding your name, am I to assume you build things with bacon?

Best PvP in an MMO and 2nd place very far behind. PvE is on par with others, but three way alliance war, PvP with keep sieges? c'mon, can't get that anywhere else.

Yes, Im in love

The complaints come from those with 500+ hours logged on one character and then cry "there's nothing to do!"

I hate to make a dreaded WoW comparison, I had over 120 days /played on my main toon in WoW and never had a problem finding things to do (stopped playing that shortly after WoTLK launched). If Cyrodil PvP wasn't in the shape it was in now I probably wouldn't have a problem in ESO either.

BigM

Guess what OP, if we wouldn't complain so loud and so much it means we don't care about the game. Now we need to get their butts in gear to save the game. Just hope they change the management at the top, we need new blood that knows how to run an MMORPG!

Bacon

I couldn't agree more with everything you said. I'm only level 15 but I have thoroughly enjoyed the game so far. There are grouping issues and the Area Chat can be annoying but it is nothing that can't be dealt with. For the most part I feel the game is pretty solid as it is (but my opinion could change as I gain more experience with the game).

All of the negativity is a side effect of the world we live in. Some people have legitimate complaints/issues but a lot of other just like to complain/troll and the forum gives them a place to do it. I Think most of the people who are happy and content don't even come to the forums. I know I first came here because of the connection issues I faced early on (but those seem to be resolved) and the invisible NPC's were a huge pain (but that also is resolved).

I've played a lot of games and usually try to stay up to date on their forums and its the same everywhere. 10% legitimate issues, 10% positive feedback and helpful players and 80% trolls and whiners. Isn't the internet a wonderful place.

Banky71

Careful @Bacon ! @Bacongineer might make something out of you!

Sithisvoid

I love the game too, although i do seek changes. Mainly text chat on console I feel it's the holy grail this game is missing. reason being?- Grouping. I find it very hard to group with group finder and voice chat. My friends are not vr2 like me and neither are my guildmates. I am looking for a guild at my lvl but no luck so far.

GreySix

Most folks really enjoy the game, during the first few weeks they've played it.

This so much.

ESO is so far a complete blast for me; however, there are issues that should be addressed in my opinion.

Also, when I can play, I am not here complaining...lol...I am on playing. I only post here when I am unable to play the game.

Just because we think there is room for improvement, does not mean we do not feel the game is still fun to play.

Indeed, PvP lies behind 90% of the complaints.

I don't PvP, I don't play only one character, and I don't put in more than a couple of hours or so a day playing most days of the week, and I'm having every bit as much fun today as I was at launch last year. It's a great game in my view, based on my playstyle. I get it that others have complaints based on their playstyle but most of the time I don't even recognise the game they're describing as the same one that I'm playing.

Hey we all enjoy this game, it is only the PVP that gets knocked down because of the 'over-compensation balance fixes'. We understand that complete balance(all classes doing the exact same thing just looking different) would make the game very boring, but yeah us hardcore pvp'ers get a little tired when some skills are just plain broken and being abused, that's all really.

What drove me away more than anything is the performance. They advertised PvP with hundreds of players on screen at once, but as soon as a battle like that happens, the servers poop their pants and everything turns into a lagfest. Abilities don't connect, stuck in charge animations for minutes at a time, spell effects disappearing, etc.

They've even gone so far as to tell us to spread out because they can't find any other way to fix the lag. Yet, on the official website they still advertise being able to battle with hundreds of players at once...

On top of that, the multiple PvP server implementation is a total failure and just leads to each faction dominating a server of their choosing.

People who enjoy this game are playing it not writing on the forums (or they are at work and cant play it, which he may be...)

LOL OP you join yesterday and think you know all about this game? I should of checked that before even thinking of taking you serious.

Hey guys isn't it amazing how a 1 day player can think he has any idea what this game is about or how it is run than anyone that has been here over 365 days and spent good money on broken!

OnThaLoose

I absolutely love this game too. However, every great game has drawbacks. My biggest complaints are the infinite load times between zones sometimes on consoles (never happened to me on PC) and as I'm VR1 the 1-50 leveling was great, but vr1-vr2 is taking forever. That ones not really a problem, but they're spaced so far apart it almost doesn't feel rewarding anymore. However, I am enjoying the game a lot!

GreySix

My guess is posting from work. Lot of folks do it, including me.

Yes I have to agree with the performance also, especially at release with all the crashes on PC. Since then I rarely crash but if I do it is usually server side(a couple of isolated occasions today were from my side, still unsure what caused it). I did hear they were working on some fix with the LOS checks that may have been causing the server side lag, I hope it works because I too enjoy the massive battles. At the same time I would love to see some arena type battling on a smaller scale 12 v 12 sort of thing, without siege getting in the way!

My machine can handle 100's of players doing there thing on max ultra without much of drop in FPS so I totally agree with your frustration when the servers get logged up and abilities stop working.

I could/should be playing right now but have spent the last week getting Emp(to success!), a little burned out to be honest but what a week, will be back in pvp later I'm sure, just sorting out a few things I let slide over the week.
