My feeling about the game after 2 years

Grimgore

Hello everyone and hello ZOS teams,
I’m not used to use forums to complain about the game I play, but after playing almost 2 years, i would have expected a little bit more from this game and from ZOS especially.

During these two years, I played this game, enjoying PvE and PvP content, sometimes raging but mainly enjoying it. Patch after patch, promises were made but nothing is coming. PvE and PvP are struck by lag, server issues, crashes… Some bugs still in the game since the beta, the new patch is up but I’m still looking to the dark brotherhood hoping for new content, not daylies to steal or murder people, but true content in which I will spend time in, dungeons (for reminders there are 8 initial dungeons which haven’t a veteran mode), raids, new pvp objectives, small scale pvp, and maybe a main questline in theme with the civil war between the factions.
I still love the combat system, even though the classes aren’t balance at all, but the pleasure i have from playing slowly decrease while my frustration is growing. For players like me who spend almost two years playing there is nothing new I’m actually enjoying. Thives guild patch doesn’t interest me at all, I don’t want to spend my time to steal from NPCs, with no worthy rewards. I’m doing the same thing for the past 6 to 9 monthes. A few dungeon and craft daylies, a lot of PvP.

A few words about PvP,
Imperial city was the only new content added since the begining of the game, no duel intrafaction, no small scale PvP… When I look to the world map hanging on my wall, half of it is meant for PvP there is infinite possibilities in a context of daedric invasion and civil war !

- Dynamic events like daedra invasion on forts, no defense = captured by daedra.
- Undead « army » like in the cinematics of the game launch
- Cities of cyrodiil like cheydinhal or chorol : capturable (planed in DarkBrotherhood)
- guild vs guild
- battlegrounds
…
Don’t get my message wrong I love the game and especialy the game mechanics. However, the combat mechanics is based on reactivity and it’s impossible to be reactive with 12 fps and a 600 ping (PvP average performance). So I’m begging ZOS team to do something for players that has been on this game for 2 years, like myself, to add content to develop the main quest which thieves guild and assassin’s guild aren’t.

You actually have some pretty cool ideas

I would much rather content like TG and DB than more bloody dungeons ugh! Ain't there enough hub MMO's like that? Where you spend more time queing than adventuring.
All dungeons in every mmo all feel the bloody same, I am so sick of dungeons.
Honestly when you first fell in love with an mmo world, was because of all the queing and mundane boss and add fights? For me this is when I start falling out of love with an mmo.

rather have dungeons than new quest zones that I can breeze through with my eyes closed

I don't like to farm dungeon, but discovering it could be fun. My point being, 5 or 6 month with only a trial a quest line finished in 1 week, and dailies that make you steal from NPCs could be considered as weak. People might enjoye that, I don't, what i like is a fluid and dynamic PvP. Which we haven't yet.

Agree with the queing for dungeons all mmo's seem to be heading this way does my head in especially when someone bails then everyone has to start again

Would be fun to have more pvp content. Nice suggestions!

You know the biggest fault with PvE in MMO's imo is that support is dropped for existing areas once new content is out. ESO is no different. There are huge chunks of this game where nobody ever goes. The bulk of the veteran zones are vacant. MMO's need to find interesting mechanics that give people a reason to consistently revisit areas of the game previously completed.

Do you really want this from the same people who had to kill the deer in hopes it would improve performance?

Of course, lags and latency in pvp must be dealt with first. My point by proposing dynamic events in cyro is to scatter people across the map, in places where nothing move at all. I went to pvp last night and al I was doing was :
defend Arrius
try to move to chal
dying
defend arrius
...
There is amazing places in cyrodiil i would like to fight at. But no one is going there because there is nothing to do.

Ya know,it's an odd thing to me,to expect that a game should change to fit me.I never even thought of that when I played WoW or Skyforge,or Tera.The only reason I loved modding Morrowind is because it is so much fun.Not because it is a bad game.
I just take the game as she stands,and never think about what should or should not change.

I don't expect they fundamentally change the game just for me. But in the end I am a customer, and i pay for it, as such I can expect a quality standard : fluid and stable game, no game changing bugs (Vicious death explodes at 10% or so, it's an undogeable execute, 3 mundus stones unlocked with the gemelar set...) and content that i will be happy to buy. Actually, it's not the case. The ideas i mentioned was just personal thoughts i don't care of what they are doing as long as they are doing something.
