Another 4 Just Quit...

Ch4mpTW

Just had 2 more good buddies and excellent players up and quit on the game. A superb hard mode trial healer, who has quit to play Ark. 2 amazing hard mode trial tanks. 1 of which who has decided to play Overwatch full-time, and the other has shifted to Diablo 3 since the new Necromancer have been released (and for some time). And 2 casual healer buddies who I did veteran trials and veteran dungeons with, who both decided to quit for unknown reasons...

Like... What the hell? Every time I turn around this guild and that guild is closing down, or having less and less members show-up for scheduled trials. And I just overall feel like I'm not evolving or progressing. Am I quitting? No, not as of yet. But, I feel like I'm battling against RNG more so than anything. Trials feel mundane, outside of veteran Halls of Fabrication. But with all of the CC nonsense that happens there, and elitism and nonsense that swarms in high-end trials guilds... I'd rather avoid the drama entirely. Save the headache and bs, and arguments over goofy and petty crap. And speaking of guilds, I've started my own guild that is highly successful. But, it's just so damn hard to gather folks who want to do something. A lot of them barely sign in, and when they do it's just to do their dailies and get ghost immediately afterward.

On a lesser scale, I've done pretty much everything there is to do (except for completing the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood quest lines). I've Stormproof'd all my characters, and Flawless'd everyone but my Wardens. My favorite build (PetSorc)? I've mastered. I've purchased my favorite house, and completely decked it out (Grand Topal Hideaway). I've reached my PvP goal with my PvP-main (Centurion's my MagDK), and received Star-Made Knight on my PvE-main and PvP-main. I have all content skins, except for the VHoF skin and Imperial City Sewers Molag Bal skin. I've even bested crown crates RNG, and gotten the mount I've wanted within the first 15 crates every single time I've chosen to gamble (Storm Atronach and Dwarven).

What is left for me to do...? Redo the same quests? Roll more alts? Finally finish TG and DB main quests? Keep getting on Maelstrom leaderboards, and chasing after the legendary sharpened inferno staff?

I feel like I'm a fool for some reason. I feel like... There's something I'm supposed to get the point of. Like a subtle hint is being nudged in my direction, and I just can't seem to grasp it. It's like a presence of an answer is looming over me, and on the tip of my tongue. But, I just can't grasp it. I feel like I'm just wasting away, bruh. And the only thing left for me to do is get forum 10 stars, and then just ultimately quit for good. Ask the mods to delete my account at that point, for me to then just uninstall ESO from my PS4 at that point. Idk anymore.

Sounds like a great time for a break. Shut the damn game down and go bake yourself a cake or something Works for me.

My god that is depressing

Stanucz

There's no point to miss. It's a game, not a life choice. You finished. Go play something else or go outside.

Lol. I've taken so many breaks, bruh... Oh boy, have I taken some breaks. Lmao.

Welcome to the WALL. Seriously. take a break from this game, play something else. Come back after a few updates when the game is a bit fresher. You've essentially burnt out your options when playing this game by playing it as well as you have.

Congrats?

That or work on ideas of ways that this game and it's interactions with players could be further improved in the end-game.

Didn't you quit before? Some people quit, some people play less while others like me play everyday

badmojo

Befriend a new player.

You sound burnt out. Seriously, take a break, and maybe come back in 6 months or so when your head isnt full of ESO day in and day out.

Buy Elite Dangerous, grind for a decent exploration vessel, then take a trip to Beagle Point and back. That will take ~6 months.

When you do come back to ESO, look at the dyes. Look at what Achieves are missing. Maybe go achieve-dye hunting. Thats something that takes out time, and will also net you some rarer titles.

Technically, you could always take a break inside ESO.

Stop running on Adrenaline. Go back, and take stock of your char, properly. Clear their inventories, bank everything.

Go for what is arguably the hardest yet most relaxing title in game - Master Angler.

Run you trials guild, but tell them you won't actually be doing trials themselves anymore. You'll lead and run the guild, but from an administrative point of view only. Just socialise, and chill.

You can't play the same game forever or I would still be playing Sonic and Tails. lol
Oh wait, I just borrowed Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy disc from my son.

Ark is jurassick poop . So much fun cutting wood for campfires so you don't freeze at night and making sure to deficate in the bushes for good health . Gross . The CG movie advertising looks nothing like the game .That one will be back . Overwatch with pre made characters is boring .

Don't worry . What th the event going on it is a good time to take a break for a week . Just tell them to find something decent to play . Red Dead redemption 2 needs to hurry up .

Flowersquisher

Well, wish i could help, but kind of feeling the same after the nerfed my main into the ground(Templar heals). I wish I could fill one of those casual healer roles for you, but PC. Maybe try to pug some dungeons to meet new peeps, I have met most for my good friends(in game) that way. Dunna know bruh

TequilaFire

Yes! RDR 2 FTW!

skoomatrait

the main and the only reason of like 90% of game quit or what is most important - quit of the raids -> zo$'s monkey wrobel with ruining game fun patch. nothing else. all ppl i talked hate zos. thats the truth. PC EU

I think that may be my only option at this point. I mean, I've played the hell out of games in the past. .hack// games on PS2 (granted of course this was years ago and not a MMO), World of Warcraft, GTA:5 (played it so much I got it for 3 platforms and still am not tired of it in the slightest), etc. And I've never felt this... Empty. I just login in pretty much nowadays to help people get completes, skins, joke around in zone chat and in guild chat, and farm. Especially since I've gotten my Star-Made Knights. This has magnified by like 10.

There's a reason why Morrowind's tagline on some of their advertisements say: "A great time to come back..."

It sounds like a lot of their player base has gotten burned out and quit. I can't tell you how many times I've rage quit PVP/Battlegrounds because mDKs are still so broke. How long has ZoS been promising us fixes to current issues (dragon leap bug) and delaying some of the more interesting things they initially previewed (spellcrafting).

On a good note: I took my wife golfing yesterday. It's the first time she's ever been. Perhaps now is a good time to take up a new hobby?

So you're telling me that you realize grinding for gear in a video game doesn't actually mean anything? Wow. How many years did it take you to reach that conclusion?

Ulo

Will you make another topic if any of them decide to come back?

ArchMikem

I don't see the point of people saying they've legit quit the game, like never to return. Sure I come across a lengthy hiatus or two now and again to play other things but I always jump back in again. However, It's sad that lately I've pretty much dropped out of my one Guild without leaving it altogether. I'm just not social at all anymore, I never talk, never actively try to do things with them. When I tried recently we were doing public dungeons and delves but I couldn't bring myself to be excitable or talkative. I'm such a damn loner.

I went off kilter a bit...uh, yeah, I dunno why people are just quitting the game outright. It's kinda weird to drop it cold turkey.

Far too long. Progression essentially boils down to battling RNG. There really is no end-game, my G. And that's facts right there for you. Your end-game is the loot table.

Honestly? I wasn't planning on it. But, just because you said something about? Why not? Sure. Just for you. I'll be sure to name drop you in the first sentence. Lol.

Make sure he's tagged as well so the guy knows he's especially welcome to say something.

CMFan1966

It sounds to me like when you are in game, you need to ask yourself one simple question. Am I enjoying myself? If the answer is yes, then sure, finish those DLC quests, roll an alt, do whatever there is in the game that you enjoy. If the answer is no, then you do need a break.

Whatever your answer to that question is, I hope it helps.

It is common on every mmo, or game for that matter. People will play it so much they get burnt out on it. That is why I have 4-6 games I play in intervals it helps keep it fresh.

Jemcrystal

People come and go. Try picking nodes in the beginner zones. Bleakrock and Khenarthi are full of new players - not just new characters. There are more people joining TESO now than ever. Take in some newbies and show them the ropes. If your best friends leave but you don't just make new friends.

disintegr8

And........life moves on, people move on.......you could go join them.

Betsararie

This is a prime example as to why there needs to be twice the amount of content that there currently is in the game.

And yes, I know there is already a lot of content.

supaskrub

Did they give you their stuffs?

SirDopey

People come and go, its nature for he beast. You gotta make sure your meeting and greeting new players to fill the void.
