There is talk of NeverWinter coming to PS4, so I would try it out...only because I played in the Forgotten Realms in p-n-p since about 1983, I think. (Too old to remeber back that far.)

Until then...

11-10-15...the bombs fall.

I love me some forgotten realms. Just sayin my first character is a Dunmer DK with duel wield

I will add that MMO players are in a great time right now. I look for more MMOs; to port to console within a year or so. Rumor was out last spring that GW was already throwing around a XBOX release in the near future.

Eh, GW2 left a bad taste in my mouth. I was pretty hyped for it since I was in love with GW1, and I was thoroughly disappointed all around. 1/I felt like the lack of a trinity just killed it. Everyone used the same build and we all just dps'd and dodged in every dungeon and then did a corpse run before our team died when we fell. 2/Plus every world boss or event I could just tap the enemy once and /dance the rest of the fight and get the same mediocre rewards. I also wasn't a fan of their battle leveling. Never felt powerful or epic the entire game. 3/To me it was a super casual mmo that revolved around weapon and armor skins, a lot of which came from the shop and rng boxes. Not sure what changes came with the new expansion though.

1/ ESO lacks "Trinity" as every class can do every role..
2/ Most of ESO content even at end game is just a ZURG DPS race with very little mechanics/challenge.
3/ ESO is casual as MMO's can get without going full on single player RPG..

Those were not very good examples of what makes ESO better than GW..

I like ESO, but it is not yet the MMO that most of us were planning on seeing. At least not yet it isn't. Maybe after they remove the VR's and back peddle out of the broken CP system it will be, but right now it is single player RPG with grouping optional. I do hold out hope things will get better though.

No.

No I would not quit ESO for WoW if it ever came to the console.


Note entirely sure how to express this via the poll answer options.

I don't really like MMOs. The classic MMO features are not the reason I play ESO. I play because it's Elder Scrolls and Azura curse me if I'm not gonna play the Oblivion out of an Elder Scrolls game.

Black Desert is a lot of fun. I don't know how it will fare as a long term game but the world is awesome to explore and the combat is engaging.

I would not quit ESO, but I would pounce on SWTOR for console (assuming they got the actions down and such) soooo fast as well. I prefer playing games on console as opposed to a computer, so I really hope they port over more of my favorite PC games to console as I love the "plug and play" of consoles instead of having to fine tune my graphics to balance performance and appearance or hoping my specs were good enough for a game (I have an older computer now and really only use it for office so do not feel like shelling out a ton of money on a gaming rig alongside my xbox one).

1. Every class can do every role, true. But the roles are there. The roles just aren't there in GW2, no matter what class you choose.
2. Yea, somewhat. But in GW2 it's every aspect of the game, 1-80.
3. ESO is pretty casual, but GW2 is a dress up sim, with areas to explore.

I've played enough MMOs to last several lifetimes. If it wasn't for ESO, I wouldn't play one anymore. Love the combat, love the skill system, love the lore and I kinda dig the graphics. Now, if we can just get the features we've been asking / promised since forever, like Housing, Spellcrafting, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, more in-depth vampire and werewolf quest lines, small scale structured PvP (Arenas and Battlegrounds), the upcoming "barber shop", removal of VR and so forth, I'll be happy.

I feel you on this, and I think we will see most, if not all of that in due time.

Why are there so many poll options for a yes or no question on the poll?

Its a cartoony kids game with a middle school community...no.

Spot on. Cartoony, Outdated, Middle School/High School community, Garrisons, Class Halls, Follower Mission nonsense, Artifact Power nonsense, and RNG repetitive gameplay. It's a dying MMO that has a very boring formula. And it's a shadow of its former self.

The follower system is possibly the worst gaming idea I've ever played...

ESO all day.

Wow looks way too cartoony for me.


However, Blizzard has been around for like 2836262 years and it seems they know what they're doing (I think lol)

I never play consoles anymore, so this doesn't effect me.

Besides, I'm on and off from this mmo anyway. The combat is just to stale when compared to more intense and immersive combat systems. Plus it there isn't much else to do besides the typical mmo stuff while more modern mmos have lots of fun minigames to play that'll keep you immersed in the world. Lets not forget that there isn't many raids here neither....went abit off topic there but I think I made my point. lol. I still like this mmo but I only really play it when I want to play a elder scrolls mmo.

Blizzard killed their own game. It was fun at first, but then WOTLK happened.

Most other MMO's have awful console ports. They don't rethink the UI elements for a TV screen and controller, and don't even include built-in voice chat (in FFXIV, players in groups have resorted to using Skype on their cellphones to communicate). In that respect, ESO stands heads above most other console MMO's.

So the answer is maybe, but only if they did a PROPER console port. And by "proper," I mean if they put more thought into it than just lazily slapping the old PC game over onto a console with barely a change.

Lol streets ahead they are in scamming money off idiot players yes!

Isn't WoW STILL subscription based after all this time? I'm already paying Microsoft to play online I'm not going to pay even more to play the game.

No. The only reason I even considered playing ESO is because I can actually roll dodge/block an attack when I chose to do so, it is not determine by the RNG chance built into the game. This of course is not considering skills that give an automatic % to dodge an attack. I could never play a game that doesn't allow me the chance to block or roll dodge attacks for myself.

FFXIV pretty much fills the WOW spot on consoles, and if anything I'd like to see a Western release of Dragon's Dogma Online or Black Desert Online come to consoles more than WOW.

I stuck with ESO only because I throughly enjoyed the combat, but since I was more looking for actual MMO, ESO is really lacking for me.

From time to time I try to play SWTOR preffered, but it's so outdated now in graphics and story (from a long time new story parts are available only for subscribers) I get bored after several minutes and shut it down. Could not even reach legendary status with my 8 alts. Also, when checking LOTRO today, man it's so ugly, how can anyone even bother playing this ugliness .

Something that never ceases to amaze me is the amount of people who dismiss one game out of hand because they like another. You see it with every game. You can't like Skyrim if you like Dragon Age, you can't like Mass Effect because you enjoy another RPG or can't enjoy another RPGy game because you like Mass Effect. I must be a freak, I mostly enjoy them all. The more RPG's there are for me to try/play/enjoy, the better. I'd rather play an RPG than yet another FPS.

To be fair, this mentality is rife within every genre, so it's not just an RPG gamer trait. I mean, I couldn't possibly enjoy Tomb Raider because I enjoy Uncharted, it's just not the done thing.

The only reason I don't play Neverwinter is because I simply lack the time. The game was enjoyable, but like i said, I don't have the time to devote to 2 MMO's.

i assume you meant addicted and probably in need of intervention!

Prof_Bawbag

What's wrong with the use of "Dedicated"? Addiction and dedication are two completely different things, which in the context both the OP and you used them, they're both viable. You see it with those people who are loyal to a brand and the TES name is a brand name of sorts.

i would ask that you unlock you sense of humor passive, found under the stop gettting triggered skill line and re read my post

I probably wouldn't quit ESO. But WOW would probably become my new main MMO. When I had my old computer I had 3 MMOS I played. WOW first, ESO 2nd, SWTOR 3rd.

Hell no. I've already spent over 8 years on WoW and it's terrible.

It's a huge Pay 2 Win game now, and I don't care what anyone says, because it is.

You can

• Pay for a boost and all the loot you want
• BUY gold with IRL money from the in-game store micro-transaction and not to mention the services are overpriced.
• It's catered to casuals more than ever, which is why it's already a fact that many WoW players prefer Vanilla/TBC/Wotlk private servers, and there's a booming population on them.
• They make you grind your life away to keep up with everybody and then everything basically gets replaced by quest/normal content gear in the new expansion.
• Repetitive.
• Looking For Raid killed the thrill of real raiding.
• etc etc etc

I can go on and on, but in other words, WoW sucks. The only reason I come back to it every now and then is to talk to friends.

p2w? Meh I wouldn't go as far to say that. Maybe only in the aspect of leveling. I see it as it's the only game that hasn't gone f2p in the MMO market in years.

That says something about it. Other ones usually go f2p with some sort of cash market up by a year or two. WOW is able to pull off both. Touché to them I say.

Lmao people love to be different but realistically every vote on this poll should go towards eso

Go and play WoW if you dont like eso? Haha it isnt an idea or rumour its a real game. Just go and buy it and play it?

But nope, youre on eso all day and on the forums when youre not playing.

I'd switch to Black Desert immediately if it came to console.
