No but there is such a thing as called "being an active member of the community". Seriously stop making accusations that are unfounded.

Oh Joe, everyone knows you are ZOS's brightest star. Don't let anyone keep you from shining!

As a software developer and CC administrator I know how hard failed deployment can be .
in my book fail is fail and when its fail most of the time something is not right ?

Throren

extra long maintenance - leaves almost all the new style parlour stuff from the PTS out of the game

Mojmir

don't count me as your we.

Bananko

Even after all this time, ZoS still has yet to let me down.

I'm all about giving credit when it's due! But ZOS is THE most unprofessional company in the gaming industry I've ever delt with. Love the game but this company is extremely money hungry, doesn't care at all about their community within game, never fixes ANYTHING, loves to create false marketing that doesn't even make it to Live... As we seen from today's patch.

It's a great game but I just feel like the product is always rushed and the developers just have a deadline. I wish upper management would give them the time to complete the project. I prefer quality of quantity. Good luck though.

Katahdin

I agree.

Seriously we all signed the TOS which means you understand and agree to abide by the TOS, all of the TOS.

People getting so bent out of shape because they cant play a video game for a few hours seriously need to examine their priorities and perhaps seek addiction counseling.

ESO is very good game in general but the humongous amount of greedsahop cosmetic options that keep increasing, is slowly killing my wiöll to keep myt subscription up as a support.

I have been subscriber and i have vo9iced my concerns and ideas about many cosmetic aspects of character inside game but i just dont get the worth i am waiting for. Style parlour is the latest thing that only made me angry, these thgings shoulfd have been available to all (Or all subscribers at least) inside the game world via NPC run barber, tattoo parlour, jewellery merchants. It is sad how many think that cosmetic stuff is something that is free for exploitation and performance is the thing that is not for cash shops, many of player are as concerned, if not more for the characters looks as they are for damage and such stuff.

AzuraKin

what zos is doing is same thing i seen in other games, weak ass *** dps complain how hard it is to kill a tank (nerf tanks) oh but they still have trouble killing so they complain about how the healers keep people alive (nerf healers) eventually tanks and heals are so destroyed you left with everyone having to run dps to win.

Snowstrider

I think when you pay much for a product you should get quality,which is something Zos rarely provides...
Seriously console is a mess and have been since the update and ZoS are too proud to say sorry or give something to The players as a apology.

Silverado

Thanks zos. I love this game.

Sadly I must concur.

They are pushing too much, too hard, too fast on the cash shop. And they are playing the "limited time only" artificial scarcity money grab WAY over the top. The whole thing has left quite a sour taste in my mouth to the point I haven't been motivated to buy ANYTHING, let my sub lapse after 2 years, and don't really feel like logging in besides maybe dinking around on an alt or something.

I'm sure I'll get a chorus of "it's just good business" but if you get so greedy you are chasing your customers away that is NOT good for business.

Besides, since when is anything done for the sake of profit automatically the right thing?

What are we, Ferengi?

I have no problem spending money. Like I said, subbed for two years.

I also don't REALLY have a problem with cash shops, though it is well recognized they almost always represent the sleazier aspect of the industry. Up until a few months ago ZOS's crown store wasn't too bad.

I think part of the problem is their timing lately has been off. They haven't had a crown sale in forever, and they pulled a bunch of their "limited item going away" shenanigans right before a DLC and a ton of new cosmetic stuff is added, basically fishing for crown sales.

Combined with the steadily rising price of many items ($40 mounts?!?) I think many have become somewhat disenfranchised by this aspect of their business model.

Still love the game. Just don't lump me into some marginalized "doesn't want to pay" category just because you don't agree with me.

I've probably sunk more $$ into this company than most people.

So you're saying that you failed to start a campaign due to technical issue related to your professional responsibilities... Hm. Has a thought of you being not really good system administrator ever occurred to you?
Maybe constantly failing to do your job isn't a good thing? And there's absolutely nothing to be proud about, or to root for?

No need to get all salty. I think he's just pointing out one instance in his professional life where he stumbled - because don't we all every now and then. Doesn't necessarily mean he's a terrible system administrator.

I will also defend that there is one thing he's sure to be proud of: He isn't trying to start an issue with his post, only seeking to boost the morale of ZOS and ESO players - only being hampered by people trying to downsize him.

It's alright to screw things up once. Hell, things can go a little rough a few times. But it is not alright to screw up almost every single update, to screw up every single big crown announcement. This year we had bootleg anniversary cake, bootleg launch of Dark Brotherhood which resulted in bizarre exploits being used and many people getting banned during and after that event (including innocent players getting banned as well due to imperfection of their system). We had a bootleg Breton Hero Costume that looks worse than anything fan-made would be. And now we have another bootleg update that brings in numerous questionable features (like Crown Hairstyles instead of something more immersive and convenient, not to mention that all hairstyles there are mostly old with little addition of something new). One just doesn't screw up this often.

I also love how they also made a fake promise to raise caps: "Oh hey guys, we're increasing the CP cap! But wait a second, what we will not tell you is that we're also going to decrease the amount of % each point gives so with having +30 CP cap you'll be actually be at level of something like 350CP now". And how they made all items of boss drops in trials "tradeable" until they roll the patch on Live and exclude monster sets which were the culprit of this all.

Too much lying, hiding and screwing things up.
And stop saying "it's so hard to keep all things in touch". For some reason other games do that just fine, but with ESO it's always a problem.

I love the game too just there's too many things broke all the time to spend more money in my opinion . When things start working well , I'll spend more money .

Money hungry is when you have P2W stuff and sell it at ridiculous prices. I have seen far worse than the Crown Store...

And what exactly can they give us? Free XP weekends in a game already easy to level up in? Free Master Weapons that will pretty much destroy the game if supplied in that manner? Something cosmetic people have already paid for?

Sure the game isn't perfect, but we play it anyway. Our choice, and they are not responsible for us playing it despite the problems.

And exactly how big are the other games in terms of content? Please, if you can, list a few games that are as big or bigger than ESO and still doing fine that have only been out for a few years now.

Originally I booked today as a day off so I could play the new DLC. A work mate of mine needed this day for personal reasons and I gave it to her while thinking damn, I will miss the first few hours!

I am lurking the forums from work (shttt ) because I wanted to see how people were reacting to the DLC and to my surprise the maintenance is still in process!! I am kinda new to games and I have no idea if this is normal, but I guess that if they're taking forever there is a good reason behind it.

We had a similar problem too, at work, our system was not working and we could not check people in to get into their holiday cruise, it was awful and we had thousand of zombies screaming at us xD

I know what it is being there, I am sure zos will make the wait worth it

Edited to correct some typos and grammar mistakes, even though I am sure there are still many more. Olé!

To take a day off on patch day to actually play is daring - to say the least - a lot of MMOs have trouble coming up on patch day and you can be happy if you can play at all on such a day - so better never take a day off on patch day to play the game.

Spent another $35 and get dced and cant get back on for ages due to log in bug.
Finally get back in and have now got the notorious group bug so cant join, start or do anything to do with grouping at all even after doing 11 known troubleshoots.

You guys can say thanks but I literally cant play the game so thats a no from me..
