I'm gonna have to agree with everyone here champ


You definitely need a break. Take a few weeks of R&R time wait for the game to have an update and take it smooth and casual. Treat the game like a cadiallac instead of a 6 second ride lol

Hmm... Well... December should do it. Let's see how much the game and forums change in 6 months. I'm also curious to see how I'll feel playing ESO, after not touching it for that long. I look forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces when I come back. See you guys soon, and enjoy vacation from the word bruh. Lol. ^_^ *Waves*

burn-out syndrome

More like "ZOS doesn't listen or care" syndrome. I am on indefinite vacation from this game until there is a MAJOR management shakeup and some public apologies for the last few years.

I would play more but most of my friends have also dropped this game. So sad for a game with so much potential but such myopic and schizophrenic development.

Bethesda being purchased my Zenimax Media was the worst thing that could ever happen to the TES franchise. The next REAL TES game will be infinitely delayed because of this one and skyrim will just keep getting repackaged for more and more money.

I wish these smaller studios would realize that if a huge media company buys your company, they are just going to run your IP into the ground squeezing every last dollar out of it but not really adding anything of value.

PepterKleptic

ZoS makes dollars not by making current players happy but by luring in new sucker..sry I mean players or luring back disillusioned players with disappointing/overpriced content like morrowind. They know that players spend less and expect more as time goes by so they prefer new players who can chew on the old content and buy packs and crates and such and be happy for a while, before burning out and moving on. It's the MMO circle of life...

Ch4mp just likes to make these posts from time to time for attention. Nothing to see here - he has quit more times than I have logged in.

Lmao. Yeah? Bruh, I've had more attention than I'd like to admit. Both good and bad. And that goes both ways in regards to the folks it attracted. M'kay? I can promise you that attention is the last thing on my mind.

........ . Homies who I got banned with in the past. And it really hit home upon them leaving. ..........

.

I feel for you man. It gives me the warm and fuzzies when I read you guys shared such a bonding experience as getting banned together.

Recremen

I don't often do this, but like, I actually SUGGEST you take a little break and play some other games/do other things for a little bit. It's okay not to do this game as a daily chore! Don't feel obligated, enjoy yourself!

oh come on. Hardcore End-Game Raiders are some of the FIRST players to quit the game. they burn themselves out by pushing the SAME content over and over and over again. They participate in that content at a high stress, high personal demand level every time too.

of course they are going to quit. look at every game ever made.

sounds like your firends should have branched out more. tried pvp or more casual take on the game.

and look at what they left for: Ark? Diablo 3!?!?! bwahahahahahaha theyll be back. theyll come crawling back, get in good, act like theyve always loved ESO and never quit. you watch. bunch of fairweather ESO players. peace out.

Everyone's just waiting on Destiny 2

Also, though I can't vouch for any other server besides PS4 NA, endgame PvE population as a whole (both at peak population and when people are burned out/taking a break) are significantly lower each patch. In Morrowind it has gotten to the point where it's almost a ghost town.

And on PC, using available metrics, it's actually up.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if Vvardenfell is a bit of a ghost town for a couple reasons. One, it's a much larger zone, so people are distributed over a much greater space. I'm always shocked when I enter Vivec to see how many players are really there.

Second, unlike the DLC zones, once you've finished Vvardenfell there's not much reason to hang around. Granted, "finished," is a bit of a loaded term, but it is a zone with a finite amount of content, and in spite of its size, you can finish it off in a week or two. (Or a weekend of intensive play.)

It's not really like the Gold Coast where we still had people swarming over the group events a year after it went live.

akl77

If there's a good game I'd quit too, I constantly watching if there's any good mmo.
Unfortunately ARK is full of bugs, worse than ESO 100 times, the progress you played is all gone and bugged out the next day, I'm sure no one wanna play a game that doesn't carry on the next day.
Diablo 3 can be finished in a day, doesn't even last a year, lol.
What else? None.

Lord_Eomer

Saw more complaints and negative threads from you than any postive discussion

Need a break?

ccfeeling

Good system could made players stay a long while , such as uo , everquest , players would like to stay at least 3-5 years.
Eso random trait system and low quality megaserver are nightmares TBH.

leepalmer95

Lack of content.

4 months for a small few hours of content can bore you.

Doing the same dungeons and trials over and over is also boring.

Dealing with the crappy mess they leave pvp every few months is also boring, the bugs, the lag, the imbalance in classes/ sets.


Just quit for a few months and come back at the beginning of a new dlc to pvp thats what i usually do.

Horns of the reach is 2 dungeons.

Dracofyre

Yolokin, i agree with you about smaller business, for example, Turninegames got bought out by Warner Bros so they can create Infinity "DCUO" concept, and launched, then within 5-6 months they were forced to unplug and made them shut down Asheron's Call and then laying them off.
many loyal gamers tried to set up Emulator and WB told them to cease, and some players tried to buy back and WB gave them a big NO!
reason why WB want turbinegame's game engine which is technology far ahead of any online games for fast combat and ease of movements, they are first seamless world game while Everquests use several land zones and ESO are similar to EQ's format, only issue for Asheron's call is limited numbers of players per server to ease down server lags.
Turbinegames jump at chances for improved servers with WB's bigger server option, and never had chance for micromanagement or going free to play but they need income or they would fold out of business years ago. except they have the worst housing format and EQ2 beat them with royal flush spades on housing free form decoration.

it all about filling up pockets of shareholders who just want more money, they dont care about devs or players. money guy suits are just bad as EA that was eating up hundreds of games to reduce competitors, and discarded games and lay-offs when bought out.

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.

welcome to life, nothing has meaning of reason alone by itself, we are the ones who give it to it.

Sheva I 7 I

lol nobody gives a *** about end-game hard mode trials, people who can actually complete them fast run in their groups of 12-18 same people they've ran as for last 2 years, competing against the other 2 guilds who run with same 12-18 people each, thats all there is to it. Trial community is 2-5% of game population, those who are great at maelstrom already got every weapon they wanted multiple times and flawless-ed their entire accounts, those who are terrible at it either got lucky with drop, or completely gave up on it. To good 50-60% of population leaderboards are irrelevant as they just get on for 20 hours a week to pvp a bit/quest

Hmmm.... the majority of people waiting for Destiny 2 will be the players who joined Destiny 1 midway through its term, many others like myself remember the hype train for Destiny 1 and were utterly dissapointed at the vanilla games content (or lack of it) and a non existent/coherent story line, Destiny 2 will be no different, sure it will be a fun shooter as Destiny 1 was but it will quickly run out of content and other than new raids being added new DLC content will be the same format as D1, completed in two hours and the same old strikes will be repeated over and over and over again.

People come and go it the nature of gaming these days, most of my friends that were here in early beta did not like the recent changes I have feeling the will not be back, for me I play very casual now myself I have been here since early beta myself, when you play other games you realize just how poor the server performance is in this game the spinning wheel of wait gets old after awhile . I like staying in my mmo's for years seems like todays games are missing one huge element you just don't feel like your living in the world any longer just playing through the world.

Most of the time when I leave game I am done with it, burned out and never return.

People come and go, you soon will understand when the time comes.

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.

Untrue, if time is up for some people in the game, no amount of new content is going to make them interested once again. This game changes heavily every major update, what you liked lets say 2 years ago most likely is not in the game anymore, after many more major updates and major changes while it's cool to see the game change so much and evolve, you lose your passion and involvement as you once had, and you just move on. While this makes people leave, although they would end up leaving anyway cause it's hard to make people stay for a long time especially with a game like ESO there isn't much rewarding for the end game player to keep them around.

Not saying it's bad what they're doing just explaining that no matter how much new content is released, it's unlikely it's going to spark up the interest of a player who just quit

Oh man.. this is truly what I am waiting on; the next DA ( and the next Witcher 4.. and the next AC.)

Anyways.. sad story, OP. I didn't realize such a video game can touch someone so much. ESO is good and fun (despite so many lagging, crashing, bugs, and crazy arse people), but at the end of the day, it is still just a video game. So many people take this game so seriously and make it seems like a job (i.e. grinding/farming, etc.) Whatever, play the way you play. However, I guess there are those who makes some good friends along the way. It is how you play the game. For me (unfortunately), my experience with "friends" on ESO, guild-wise or whatnot, has the concept phrase of.. if friends are like these, then who needs enemies.

@starkerealm not referring to Vvardenfell or DLC zones though. As a side note, I like that Vvardenfell feels more empty. It's cooler this way for exploring imo to feel like I'm playing TES III in certain areas

I was talking specifically talking about endgame PvE population as in Vet trials. The amount of groups that are capable enough to beat Maw of Lorkhaj is so low. Halls of Fabrication has far less groups. In Morrowind the numbers fell a lot due to sustain changes, and today I'm pretty sure my team disbanded until 3rd/4th quarter....

I really hope things are better for other platforms! Couldn't get a whole lot worse over here.

I couldn't say tbh. I've never played Destiny 1, but the beta for Destiny 2 was a lot of fun. Everyone seems to agree and is playing other stuff until it releases. Either way it's new and not a lot of other big games are coming out right now that draw attention away from Destiny 2.

Although our endgame PvE people quit ESO slowly over time, many raiders are still playing ESO but will only log on to run a new dungeon/trial, take #1 on leaderboards, or help someone get a skin. The biggest issue isthat as people slowly quit for good, no one is replacing them since interest is so low once the price of grinding gear+buying pots+progression sets in.

I wish ZOS would show the endgame PvE community some love and revamp the rewards+fix bugs to breathe life into it. Playing at 5 FPS in vHoF isn't fun, nor is (this actually happened) having the 4th boss of vHoF self-reset at ~40% health. All of the bugs, bad performance, lack of rewards..... this is mixed in with ESO's awesome combat and cool-looking trials. I'll never understand why ZOS does some things so amazingly well but doesn't care to fix anything when they are abysmal in other areas.

Yeah, that group I understand. I wasn't thinking about them as much, but I do understand. In fairness, when it comes to vet trials, we're always talking about a tiny sliver of the population as a whole.
