What memorable things keep you playing ESO?

Skinless_Jerk

Yooo, so... i've stopped playing this game many times, but always find something worth coming back for. This time around, it's playing like this - https://youtu.be/aUe2eLxZ84w

Never tried it before this week - fair to say i won't be playing many of my other characters much anymore because this is so much fun that i can semi ignore the 6 times I've disconnected today alone hahaha. Sometimes the good outweigh the bad..

Wollust

I keep playing because it's still the best PvP game out there imo. Despite all the bugs, imbalance and the fact that its PvP has mostly known the way down for the past years.
Though I have my hopes on CU.

Darethran

God damn, those sneakers just make me want to cry.

How d'yall even deal that much damage? Just stacking procs together or something? More importantly, there has to be a way to stop getting wrecked by 'em, but I've no luck.

sure there is man - get your health to 35k and i won't attack you hahaha. damage is mixture of things coming together at once. It has it's downside like 18k health, i get caught and i'm re-spawning most probably haha

i've been fan of battlefield for a while but after playing this type of game.. running around with a gun just doesn't cut it for me haha i'll prob pick it up when it sells for £20 on ebay ........ maybe. depends on the state of ESO really - at the minute i'm back hooked and 1 tamriel brought some lovely implementations

I mainly play when I want to read some more books, or so. Besides that, I can't recall much else that keeps me playing outside of reading/ listening/ watching more lore stuff.....Yeah, I don't play that often.

Cheeky I genuinely think a lot of (certainly not all by any stretch) are some of the best written MMO quests I've seen. Certainly when compared with WoW etc.

The characters are mostly awesome. Standouts for me are Orsinium's main quest, the quest in Coldharbour with a Dark Elf and a Khajiit sharing the same body, The Sweetroll Killer and the one in the desert where a dog leads you to bones, and the bones were his master who springs to life when put together to look after his doggie even after death (awwwwwww.)

haha, i forget about certain missions to be honest but now that mentioned it, some are very nicely thought out. cant disagree with that bud

I keep going back to PvP in the vain hope of seeing what was around in the opening days of the Imperial City DLC: constant fighting between the factions with no real objective in mind, just a constant back and forth.

As I recall it was Memorial District that had it the best. You show up, drop down and get stuck in. If you managed to win, you'd pass the time killing dremora and bosses until the other factions respawned, grouped up, and got stuck in again. I didn't even mind losing all my Tel Var Stones because the constant PvP was perhaps the most fun I've had. A lot more than attacking an undefended keep or waiting for a swarm to take over a keep I and like 3 others were defending. And the fact that respawn was right next to the fight in the Imperial City, it meant I didn't have to waste 5 minutes looking for a keep close enough to the scrum, mount up, and hope against hope I didn't get ganked on they way over.

Stealing everything this one can get its sticky paws on.
Khajiit's whiskers twitch with delight awaiting the next new and unique item that may be discovered.
It is even more thrilling than playing my old kittenhood game of chop the tail off the Argonian.

My kids play,and so shall I.

As in most RPG (RPG, not MMO) that I've played over the years, it's the slow but (hopefully) steady improvement of my char...on ESO I'm still pre-50...I have a few toons at 40 and the rest moving from 30ish up to 40...

Before OT, I was able to solo some but not all bosses & dolmens, as long as I was no more than 5 levels above the boss/dolmen level. But now in OT, it was a bit disconcerting that now, for the most part, I've only been able to solo 2 or 3 bosses at the most, and forget dolmens.

However, during the witches festival, I actually leveled like 10 of my 12 chars by 10 levels each, and the other 2 by about 6-8 each. That was a rush to do so quickly, even if it was a bit artificial due to the increased boss/dolmen/delve activities magnified by double XP. but with that, I've started to level the skills a bit more, and unlock more actives & passives, and I'm starting to stand a bit more toe-to-toe. I'm learning more how to move around, especially the lateral strafing - very important. I'm also seeing the different results from different combos of actives. So I'm starting to notice that slow but steady improvement once again...



...oh yeah, and the humor, definitely the humor that's always been present in the ES series

-The open world.
I log in, and I can decide what I want to do for the day without pressure.
-Fishing. I find fishing relaxing and I wish it was more than just waiting for a fish to bite. Some fishing mechanics like the one found in Okami would be great.
-Hoarding.
What's most memorable and keeps me playing: People from my Friend's list and their antics

And Haskill. I like Haskill.

ArchMikem

That's not good. You're a burst ganker, and it's apparent you're a showboating, taunting little...I'll just stop while I'm ahead.

Sausage

Console launch easily, it was so damn fun to be high lvl with excellent gears killing low level noobs with little experience. I should have recorded the stunts I did.

what makes you think you're ahead?....... do not make assumptions on me based on 1 video, i have cr160 templar, mag dk, sorcerer, mag nb and 47 stam dk - this play style is what i currently find most fun - every other class i will 100% get chased by 8+ players to the end of cyrodiil and eventually die.. this class allows me to stay alive for hours at a time sometimes - i'm not just in random places ganking, i'm between vital choke points relaying information to the rest of the alliance.

ohhh, yes i taunt every single person because it's fun for me, when i get caught, the attempts to get away are so much fun... that's what gaming is all about, you'd do well to remember that

careful... you be put in the stocks if you get caught stealing

Hallothiel

@BlanketFort - No! Fishing in Okami was incredibly stressful - at least on the Wii. Like how it's quite relaxed here.

Bit off topic but Okami is still one of the best games have ever played. Would love a remake for PS4.

As for playing ESO, it would seem I am sadly addicted to all aspects of the game. Love questing, love crafting, have different alts that have different stories, now love pvp (never thought I would) & getting courage together to try more dungeons. And haven't even completed all the game.....

akl77

The world varieties, graphics, group dungeons.

kevlarto_ESO

My friends my guild and the beauty of the game, keeps me playing when I lose one of them I am exit stage right

Lava_Croft

The only thing that keeps me playing is the lack of a viable alternative to the PvP. As soon as there's anything half-finished that has the same sandbox PvP, expect a ton of people to leave this game and the absolutely terrrible developers that ru(i)n it.

BlanketFort

@Hallothiel sounds like you had a bad time on the Wii. I suppose my experience on the PS2 was different.
I find fishing in ESO relaxing, too... until the first hour hits and I feel rather brain-dead just waiting to be prompted to reel-in. But hey, everyone has different ideas on how to relax

I am also wishing they would make a remaster on the PS4. Like yourself, I also loved that game, and the art really stood out, too! It was just great!

Hankrabbit

The most of your Kills are just randoms and low levels. You should improve your style and start using max Food. A good Ganker can gank EVERYONE (Killed even the Emp with my Proc-cancer-build lol).

For me, I'm finally learning to enjoy pve content. Right now I enjoy vma and trials.
