I need something to do

AnnieBeGood

I have a little squad of characters...... all levelled, all undaunted, all done trials .... I have done most of the dlc's (loved Orsinium, hated Brotherhood and Thieves whatsit. I even have 2 9-trait crafters.... (I gave up on collecting all the styles.... too many dropped sets now anyway). I even did enough pvp to have one Lt, 2 sergeants and the rest ..... just not good soldiers. In fact I just not good at pvp. Oh and I went to IC.... not sure why, but I went.
I have a million gold in the bank..... even after buying stuff I regretted because it just was not great. (gold tempers mainly )
I even have a load of monster helms and shoulders.
I DON'T see the point in a house..... all that gold for what? No storage and believe me I can test my dps on a lotta stuff. (magplars ftw!) I played sims and built great houses with lovely gardens and pools etc.... don't see the point here.
So......... now what? I need a new area to explore and new quests and monsters......
Shock! Horror!
Maybe, just maybe........ I need a new game?
Noooooooooo!

There's an update coming. It's centered around crown items, but you'll be able to RP as a decorator.

But why buy a new game when you can experience the sunk cost fallacy in a game you already have and have already spent so much time and money on?

...

... do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior RNG Crates?

I'm in precisely the same situation... so I made 8 more characters in the EU server

Ha! I doing that now, but on the NA server.... starting right from scratch, no cp, no crafting, no guild as yet... and its much more difficult than just rolling a new char on my EU account - there her sisters would make her new armour and feed her etc. No sisters on the NA server. Little Annie Lass on the NA server has to do it all alone........

I feel the same! Although I have not done many trials. I've done all the vet dungeons, tons of monster sets. Did a bunch of stuff to get titles & achievements.. but got bored of that. I have zero interest in housing.. I can definitely see the attraction but it is not for me. I have 12 characters (3 of each class), 10 are LVL50. I still enjoy PVP even though I am not that good at it :P

I know I could grind more & perfect all the traits on my drop sets... but... urrgh.. it's tedious & the randomness can be harsh.

Welcome to the online Rpg of ESO. The devs that were making a MMO left in 2015

This is completely false. Please don't spread misinformation if you don't know what you're talking about.

And yes, to the opening poster, why don't you take a break, play another game, read a book, do something else. Variety is the Spice of Life, as they say. Often taking time away from something makes you appreciate it a lot more for just what it is.

Woah, the thought of that grind actually gives me a headache, that is some serious love for the game.

I have to admit, I am an avid and heavy RPer, so everything from costumes to collectables is something I care for, so grinding those achievements I am familiar with. After a session of PVE or PVP, I have the benefit of jumping 'ic' (in character) on any of my four different characters and enjoying some roleplay in Wayrest.

However, I still manage to run vet trials on a weekend and my daily vet pledges most days {depending on mood), but I think, personally, it's about balance. Perhaps pick up some single titles and play them between ESO? I love taking my time to do things and breaking it up with a bit of Life is Strange, Witcher or even Skyrim (classic, but gold), can help!

Sounds like you should take a break. If housing isn't your cup of tea, you're not going to get much to keep you going until next quarter, at the earliest.

Imma just copy-paste something I wrote to another bored oldbie a little while ago, instead of retyping it.

It's fair for you to feel that way. You have consumed the content they have, and now you want more. This is fair for a game you enjoy.

But you shouldn't expect to get a constant stream of new content or zones. No one has the developing time or budget for that. One dungeon's worth of content that takes a player an hour to knock out needs dozens of development hours of layout, art and story design, voice acting, testing, and programming. The fact is that the devs just can't create new stuff at the same rate their players consume it. So, at some point, any highly dedicated player is going to bottom out.

So... go play something else for a little while. When I feel burned out on something, I go do something else for a while... either boot up a different game, or pick up a book I've been meaning to read, or write in my own fictional universe. Such breaks are refreshing, and give the game time to build up new content. I did that to ESO about two years ago, and when I came back, I had TG and DB to start chewing through.

So maybe accept that you've done pretty much all you want to do in the game, and go try a different game for a while. This one will still be here when you come back.

It's not completely false. Homestead does have a substantial catalog of items that you can purchase with crowns.

Prob best to find some ppl to help come along to where you are.

The community could benefit from posts and detailed info

Come see Uncle Nestor, I can hook you up.

OK, that came out weirder than I thought it would. But if you need some help with gear or whatever, send me a message.

Take a break. Play different games if you're a gamer. Pursue other hobbies you enjoy.

Props for holding attention for that long. I get sick of leveling just one character. The thought of 8 makes me want to break the disc.

akl77

Don't think ESO will add on more good quests for playing for months.
Best to try other games, skyrim remastered? Stardew valley? Dark souls 3? Witcher 3 goty edi.
Or wait till Feb, lots of great games coming out, like for honour, nioh, horizon zero dawn.
Looking forward to dump buggy, full of crash and errors and unbalanced ESO.

I think the problem is they have made the game so easy people go through content faster than a normal MMO. I know Vet trails and MA are a challenge but the rest of the game is pathetic. Nothing has any staying power to keep you going...you beat all on the first try....

No game has permanent appeal. Gaming is a transient hobby, so tastes change over time as you get older.

I take a Zen approach to gaming and just go where the days take you.

NovaShadow

I've been in the exact same position since I finished DB's content. I've taken breaks (sometimes weeks, sometimes months) because there's just nothing new to do.

2 dungeons and farming gear does not count as new content.

I'll probably buy a house, but like OP I've gotten all my housing decorating ideas out in the Sims. And honestly, the Sims is FAR more advanced in what you can do with a house. No limits on items.

I'm hoping the Morrowind anniversary will coincide with a proper DLC/New Zone release in ESO to give us something new to do that is a proper new zone with new content/quests/etc.

I thought about starting over on the EU server, but the thought of doing it without all the items I've purchased on NA completely puts me off.
