I bet it's exhilarating to watch.. (Black Forge Quest)

Grapdjan

I bet it's exhilarating to watch a master such as I at works spouts Vanus in the Great Shackle.

No I thought to myself, It is far from that, it is actually the most dull few minutes I've ever spent in an MMO

Then I started thinking, actually after you have done the main story once, and opened and done all three factions, and coldharbor - the entire process is incredibly dull. Pointless quests, choices that do not matter, rewards that are worthless, no option to skip heavily contrived 'set pieces' and finally, and most importantly EASY, EASY non challenging SOLO content all just so you can get to cadwells gold.

Now, I do rather enjoy playing ESO. It's charming and has nice scenery. It has a few nice little time sinks like most other MMOs such as fishing, gathering for nirns, researching, crafting a bit - great PvP.

But for the love of God please stop making people do the main storyline after they have done it once. Just make CW Silver and Gold either disappear or make them accessible to anyone at VR1.

When people would rather log out and do something else because of content being boring/repetitive/dull it is always a bad thing.

You dont do the Mainqs a other time. The mainquest is the quest with the Prophet.

Grapdjan

Yes, my point. Gated content is bad, whatever that gate may be. Especially if it is gated by boredom.

The problem for me is very low number of scripted map events, anchors are fine but i think there should be much more going on the map getting players to group up. I agree that repeatability value of quets in eso is pretty low, honestly some i would prefered not to be bothered with even once.

Warhammer Online did it well in the early days with Public Quests that needed sometimes 20+ to do, the current console pop and new players would support something like 5 player public quests, id like to see that introduced.

You enter the area, the event starts and you do your stuff, rewards are based on contribution and higher than average loot is given.
