What is more important: fixing performance or new DLC?

Tyvarra

I really love Orsinium, its a great DLC and all, but all the bugs and lag and fps drops. Its too much and sth has to be done about it. So I'm asking you what is more important to you.

Fixing the broken CC system.

Why can we chain cc a player, but we get the Target Immune when we try to do it to an NPC?

Where is the logic in that?

The problem with using an entire patch cycle just for bugs is:

1. There are only so many programmers that can go through and find bugs, it's not like you can reassign the whole art department to help find bugs in the code. So what do you do? Just have them do nothing for 2 months?

2. It will be short lived, and on the next DLC or balance patch you will just have more bugs.

IMO the only way to reduce bugs is to hire more people who have the expertise to help and/or take more time during the testing phase, and don't release content until bugs are (relatively) more under control, even if that is several weeks later than promised.

Fixing bugs is highly important, but dlc pretty much keeps the lights on. They kinda have to juggle both.

I just want the game fixed, stop all these stupid nurfs and taking away what the games about just cos people moan.

Performance all the way. Feels like it's worthless to have a 2k USD comp when i get frame skips every 30 seconds of moving. Don't care if there is no DLC for a year

If they could fix the loading screens, I would be so happy.

New Zone, Items etc. (regular DLC)

They can't fix the performance, so we might as well have new content.

New Zone, Items etc. (regular DLC)

I've learned to work around bugs but a lack of fresh content only leads to a 'hiatus.'

Sorcerers used to be able to kill almost anything only with Crystal Shard. The trick was to spam it until the boss died without touching you.

They are both important for different reasons.

Where is the option "both"?

Cuyler

New Zone, Items etc. (regular DLC)

Both are equally important, but I want new trials and dungeons so yea, that's how I voted. I don't mind bugs so much as the game being boring without new content. I know there are those who will leave the game over bugs too tho, so equally important.

But I think that "bug fix" dlc will be worthless simply because the balance will be changed again in the next content dlc.
Of course, fixing the lag and bugs is very important, but when the players are content-starved, its absolutely useless. Vdsa and trials are not scaled to vr16 and IC dungeons were nerfed... Nothing to do for us group players, and if the group content dlc will be delayed because of "balance dlc" I will probably take a break from the game or quit it.

This doesn't have to be an either/or situ. The devs could continue with new content (they absolutely will) AND repair ESO where it needs to be fixed.

I often balk when I see on the patch notes: "Fixed rare occurrence where a ..."
"Fixed rare bug that could for some players result in ..."

Bethesda did this with Skyrim and look how buggy that game still is!

It is not the rare bugs we want fixed but the serious ones that all can see and are adversely affected by them. It doesn't do ESO any credit if they ignore them and make our minds wander to other possible purchases which are so prevalent at this time of the year.

I argued elsewhere about ESO building high on shaky ground & here we are again.

Equally important, different teams working on different things.

People have been asking to a major patch dedicated to bug fixing since the early days; I can't see it happening myself. Zeni have been continually ignoring bugs and piling new code and content on top; I really don't think that they know how to fix most of the bugs that have been there from the start any more. I also cant see them bothering to re-write the game engine to be multi-core aware; it's a shame.

No option for both because ZOS doesn't have the resources to do both at the same time

Fixed the recurring bugs and improve overall performance, particularly the Lag in Cyrodiil is more important than launching new DLC.

Although, if they had any idea how to fix the lag, the would have already.

Really? I don't think so are there wouldn't be 18 gazillion broken or bugged things in the game.

What I mainly wanted to achieve with this is to show ZOS how the community thinks and how many people are angry because they dont work enough on fixing the game. The priority should be to fix whats broken before releasing new content which is also partially broken. It adds up and gets worse every time and this cant go on infinitely.

Of course I want new content too, but I would wait way longer for it when I knew that they work on fixing the game. Thats just how I feel. And I asked your opinions: what is most important to YOU. Glad to see that many people think like me :P
