How long has it been since you played ESO?

Casdha

Personally I'm having trouble getting back into the grove of playing. I've not logged in to play since Thieves Guild. I did get Dark Brotherhood but have yet to play it. Feel free to offer comments to convince players like me to come back and give it a try or comments of what needs to be fixed before I give it another go.

Just go do something else for a couple of months. It's the best way to renew interest in a game.

So so true.

@Casdha I'm not sure why the game isn't holding your interest. For me, I continue to meet interesting folks while I play and that keeps me logging in each day.

It's probably has more to do with real life and having to much to do than anything with the game itself. I expect I'll get back into it once the cold months arrive.

Go away and play some other games. Clear your head of ESO. Come back when you're not burned out from it. It's a common thing to happen with MMO's.

Keep in mind the diminishing returns on votes as you go down the list - I would assume people visit forums more often when active in the game than not. Here's my offerings:

After Shadows of Hist comes out you can trade bind on pickup loot with your group while still in the dungeon.

VMA will change RNG to 100% for gold weapon on final chest. (Also after Shadows)

Craft Bag - if you have the $15 it helps immensely, even if you only do it for one month, you keep whats already in the bag.

Sarcasm - You can now change your haircut for a price that is greater than the cost of the base game itself!

- A brand new type of pungent cheese called Malubeth Templar imported from Cyrodiil via the salt road.

Going from "Today" to "Sometime this week" is WAY too big a gap.

"Yesterday" should of been an option. Still at work, haven't gotten to play yet today.

OMG I forgot about this, thank you for the reminder! It will definitely give me renewed energy to work on trials.

My problem is the longer I stay away, the more I feel left behind. I like picking up where I left off and get put off at the thought of coming back and having to reload and relearn everything. Honestly its rather intimidating to face loading all the points again after so much mechanically has changed, and continues to change and right now I just don't have the time for it. And the longer I go the worse it gets.

I was hoping this poll would serve a secondary purpose of getting an idea of how many people still have an interest in the game but are not active in it and could still be coaxed back into playing it.

The forum community may only be a percentage of those that play it, but it cold also be a snapshot of those who have interest as well.

The one option I wished I had included would be "Haven't played it yet"

This morning, with coffee, before work. Will be back on in a little over an hour, with coffee, after work. Better than being out in the heat and humidity!

This has happened to me several times. Everytime I come back I start a new character (I have six characters now). At some point you stay away long enough where it feels like almost a new game, and then starting over doesn't feel so bad/boring. At least with the CP change, by the time you reach level 50 you've probably figured stuff out, and then boom you're back to end game and you can skip re-grinding all those vet levels. I couldn't imagine coming back after time away and trying to do end game stuff right off. But with the different alliances and all the different builds, every time I start over I come at it from a completely different angle, and it's fresh enough to hold my interest.

Just a suggestion, though I understand not everyone works like I do.

Didn't get to play last night as my children had the audacity to want to watch a movie & the console is set up on the TV in the front room.

But I will be playing tonight. Oh yes.

*do so wish I could afford a decent gaming PC but then I might never see my family again....

PrinceBoru

Yeah I'm taking a break.
The bugs are too much.
Hopefully time away will rekindle my ESO flame.
Hopefully time away will see core game fixes.
But I doubt it.

Haven't played some time because my gpu died and I am on my mum's laptop waiting until the new expensive gpu arrives...
But I seem to lose interest in eso quite oftenly these days because I completed the whole PvE part (AD,DC,EP and dlcs) for countless times and all I have left to do is PvP which is totally uninteresting to me, It's way too repetitive (take a keep, defend the keep, retake the keep) etc.. I never seemed to understand how hardcore PvP players enjoy it.

Actually with today its 2 months I haven't played ESO. The grinding for Molag Kena's Shoulders Med Divine really tired me out. So I'm taking a long break from it. Currently enjoying The Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 3 and some other games. I will be back, just not anytime soon.

I played 10 months or so from beta every day and started again in december and played daily, having only just recently had a few days without logging on....but that's because the UK had its week of summer and pokemon go was a good excuse to take the dogs down to the park and have a skate whilst trying to catch stuff

I was like the OP last year and I quit playing for the entire month of November.

Wrothgar DLC had just come out on the back of the IC DLC with the promise of more to come. There seemed to be a great deal to play for and yet having got to VR 16 and done all the content I was up for (a considerable amount in a relatively short time) I burnt myself out. I started to hate ESO.

So I quit indefinitely.

Thirty days later I was back in and I was relishing this game! I went back to "difficult" dungeons I previously avoided because of imagined fear on my part that I would disgrace myself and I soloed them. The achievements came fast and furious and I kept getting skill points I didn't know previously about.

I am not going to convince the OP to come back and play. No, on the contrary. Stay away. Go do something like talk to your family. I am sure they are all nice people.

ESO will still be here for you when you do decide to return and you may be invigorated for your temporary absence.
