On topic of getting stuck....

this is the first MMO i ever played that has such a primitive and arrogant design. For example:

Other MMO's:Let's not get ahead of ourselves, and design failsafes, if someone somehow gets stuck they can type /unstuck and it'll put them back onto the closest walkable path again so they don't have to travel back, at no cost.

For ESO: Oh, you're stuck? That'll be 50 gold, and we'll be forcing you to spawn at a shrine far away. You don't have 50 gold? You should have thought about that before we designed the game!

No joke, i have been stuck in a pillar because some npc in the desert used a knock-back attack on me and it forced me inside of it, i couldn't do anything. not even a proper log out because they kept detecting me, while i was trapped, and when they gave up, detected me again even though i was fully submerged inside of a pillar. The inside of it appears to be more solid than outside, as i could not even fire arrows to try and kill them.

This is on ps4, so i could easily record it too, happened last year, it's sad that such a video should even be able to be recorded. I had to delete that character and start over. Because i'm expected to gold for very basic trouble shooting that victim blames.

So this would be a bad time to point out that you can teleport to guild members and friends for free?

Solo players aren't aware of this. But thank you for the advice. Need to find a guild or friends, just in case ...

I honestly feel kinda sad for players that come to an MMO and are, in fact, completely alone. Doing your own thing most of the time? Yeah, sure, that's fine. But to not have any human contact? $:\$

An mmo is not human contact.

I agree. I feel sad for those players as well. That's why I always offer to help if I can. Whether it be crafting related or maybe helping out a bit here and there with some gold.

You're still interacting with living, breathing, people... out there... somewhere. Also twelve-year-olds who lied to get past the age gate.

Knowing ZOS the only comments they are going to make (if at all) is either a "Sorry to hear that" or a "We have removed some comments" response. Just think about it for a minute if ZOS monitored their game as much/as well as they do the forums.

You act like their job is to monitor the forums 24/7. For the most part, every "problem" I see posted here is something so stupid. I'm sorry you were raised to get everything you wanted immediately. Zos is doing a hell of a job and all the critisicm they get is very unwarranted.

I think he is pointing out the fact that they do monitor the forums way more than they monitor the actual game. Honestly I have never seen a forum whose users post get edited and censored as much as eso. And most of the things j being edited and censored is very minor. I think he is right in that instead of monitoring the forums as much as they do and spend that time monitoring the game it might be a little better. I can not say much about the support anymore as the last 2 times I contacted them I got a pretty fast response.

I have noticed on console people are not playing as much as they used to due to all of these issues. A ton came back for the dlc but are now gone and playing other games. I am considering going back to WOW.

Probably due to the nature of console gaming mainly. Play a game, finish, move to the next game that's just released, return to a game if DLC is out, try it out move on again.

That's how i see it mostly, MMO's are still majorly a PC thing, that's trying to move through into consoles, though i see it mostly out of greed than a desire to have the game enjoyed on console too.

Wrong. I and many others (like PC) play on console, and are totally content with sticking to this game. An MMO. I've seen a ton of the "long-time" ESO players on console leave recently. It is quite an easy guess as to why. The game performs horribly

Are you saying literally every gamer is like you? Because when you say i'm wrong when i said "probably" and you make a definitive statement -which i can prove wrong by the fact i myself don't game like you do- makes it sound like you are saying that.

Are MMO's the only type of game you play? Single players, multi players? what games have you played in the last 6 months?

Oh man lol. You sound outraged! What made you so angry?

All I said was that the console crowd is not nearly as much of the migrating-type as you wish to generalize them to be. Players that are leaving aren't doing so nearly as much for lack of content reasons right now as they are because the game has been performing terribly since DB dropped. That is a fact. It sucks, but it's also true.

Your statement was a typical PC player statement said about consoles players countless times. Generalized statements no different than the "PC is hardcore & Console is casual" garbage that breeds toxicity on any cross-platform game. Hence, I called you out and said you were wrong.

What you said was also as broad as what you said. I said "many", you said "probably", it's whatever. What's the big deal? No definitive statement was made, though you are keen on saying there was. Someone disagreed with you and you took it personally. Drop it.

And I've played a lot of single player games in the past six months. This means nothing to you. LOL. Always come back to ESO though after a playthrough or two because I love this game. Elder Scrolls is my Fav series!

You're wrong. Just wrong.

1. i'm not outraged or angry, just in disbelief someone can get so upset and foaming at the mouth about a vague statement they didn't quite follow and felt the need to make a definitive statement in response to a speculative comment.

2. I know what you said, and its foundations are based on your inability to read. For someone who likes to complain about generalisations you assume because i make a comment about consoles that's i'm purely pro PC or that what i said was even negative. It wasn't, i was simply saying, despite games like Destiny or Division being online only or ESO etc. MMO's are still pretty much a new thing to consoles, you have MMO players then you have mainly single player game players or non-mmo multiplayer gamers, 3 different things, and PC is usually where you would expect to find MMO gamers as it's got more history and access to such games. While for consoles, you usually get the games who play a game, finish and then move on or stay based on how much they like it or go to the next game. (That's not an insult by the way... so don't get upset about it)

3. Hold on, are you generalising now? i'm on a forum so i must be PC? I play pre-dominantly on xbox, i play ESO on PS4, i do play some games on PC, but i'm more of a console player, though i can at least PC is better, however that's also its biggest downfall, lack of uniformity in parts makes it more work to make sure one game runs smoothly across all variations. So no, my comment wasn't a typical PC player statement, it's one of a console gamer who knows plenty of people who follow a similar routine, of playing something out, and moving on etc. (once again, playing a game and moving on isn't an insult in any form to anyone or any company for not being a loyalist) That also does NOT mean that i'm saying the game is perfect, i never said it was, so don't act like me giving other reasoning is a defense of the game itself.

4. You said i was wrong. that's the definitive statement. you used a vague word ('many') afterward, but the baseline was a definitve statement that i'm wrong because you know a couple friends who still play. That's the big deal, and you know it, otherwise you wouldn't have felt a need to call me wrong and provide a defense as if you think i'm attacking anyone. You're the only one taking it personally, maybe you should drop it. i make a comment, you called me wrong, i responded back and now you're saying that i'm the one getting personal?

5. I wouldn't have asked how many games you played if it meant nothing, but thanks for the assumption and thinking you won a point. So you've played a lot of games have you? Good. There's my point. the point you called me wrong about. the point focused mainly on the gamer preference of MMO's single players and other multiplayer forms of games, and how MMO gaming is still relatively new to consoles as one speculative answer as to why the console servers may be rather low, never once was that to excuse the horrible performance but you wanted to say i'm wrong and that console gamers don't play a game and move on to the next etc. which also never implies you can't return to an old favourite.
