ESO dead before Christmas?

JackDaniell

So it's been 2 months of terrible server performance and lag. Less people playing then before morrowind dropped, and zeni seems tO have NO *** INTEREST WHATSOEVER TO FIX THE GOD DAM LAG FOR THIER PLAYERS SO THEY ALL LEAVE.

So me thinks ESO dead before Christmas, discuss.

Kammakazi

Bring back cost reduction.

I swear they made a thread last year with this exact same title

Destiny 2 will provide me something to do when I get too frustrated at this game. However, unless something drastically changes this game will be dead to me once Monster Hunter World launches next year.

ESO has steadily blead a player base and lost almost all thier free advertisement (guide makers ect leaving game). This game has been going to *** for sometime now, and it's just getting worse.

Destiny 2 is a load of ***. The first good game that drops I'm out. The only thing that has kept me playing and keeps me playing is how terrible the videogame industry has become. I can't remember one release I gave a damn about since eso's release. Or if I did it just turned out to be utter crap. People don't know how to make good games anymore.

Elsonso

Lol. No.

Not everyone has suffered performance issues by any means, and most report seeing plenty of players around. There are a few forum malcontents as there are in any game especially when it's been out a while, but they're not remotely representative of the population in the game which is the only one that matters. The game's doing fine, so no need to panic about it dying before Christmas - although I note that you're careful not to specify which Christmas !

The video game industry cares about making money through any means necessary. That is all.

They don't give a *** when money comes from people who gambles for a stupid cosmetic or from a box sale. Whatever makes more money they focus on.

This capitalistic approach to the art form of making a game results is cash shops wih pretty images over them. Gameplay doesn't matter.

After 2 solid months of loading, screens game crashes, 15 fps, bugs, crit rush into loading screen crash I think you would sing a different toon. Most content players live close to the server.

I used to get 130 ping, now 200. I used to go 60 fps now 15. I used to enjoy game sessions that lasted longer then 15 minuites without crashing.

Edit: and This christmas

Compare and contrast steam numbers of active players this month vs the month before morrowind. Biggest fail patch ever.

Steam is only a small fraction of the player base. And population always spikes in MMOs around expansions and events.

The subreddit population has never been higher, and continues to rise every month.

What lag?

This reminds me of another game....
Huge hit.
Bigger playerbase than ESO

Pokemon GO

What did they do??? Remove the best feature LMAO
How to find the dang pokemon... .REMOVED

They have this huge cashflow coming in... Yet they chose to keep the cash and not invest on bigger server.
Greed kills.

Much of the player base on PC played this long before steam had ESO, hardly indicative of overall numbers.

So nope I will not, nor do I care about steam active players, it means nothing.

just like it was dead any one of a thousand threads about its demise before.

me thinks eso will be alive tomorrow and thru christmas and for some time to come.

Obviously we cannot wager but you want to agree to revisit this thread then as see who is right?

if eso is dead then i will sing your praises sd prognosticator and give you an awesome... will you promise the same for me if it is alive then or will you prefer to just let this one more baseless prediction easily forgotten once the noise has passed?

Same deal with the sub reddit pop, it peaks at around 1200 now and was well over 1700 in may

Steam is a FRACTION of the player base. Most long term players (myself included) far predate Steam.

Take the propaganda elsewhere - the places I frequent in game have never been busier.

Mostly I'm trying to raise awareness, to get it fixed. A rather aggressive stance brings this to people's attention, we're tired of the lag it needs to go and is no longer ok

Lol you must be new here, the forums have had threads like this for years, even before the game launched, on closed beta forums, threads like this existed.

I agree about the lag, but there was the double ap event which could have gone better, but this is nothing new.

Yes, because May was the eve of Morrowind. Population always spikes around expansions, like I said.

It's not ESO fault

To be fair...

One common trait among all the Elder Scrolls game...
Buggy, very buggy.

Red Ring of Death??? Most likely came about from playing an Elder Scrolls game.
Elder Scrolls, there core... Always been buggy, will always be buggy, and no amount of whining is going to change that.

Thats a racial trait that the Elder Scrolls series is stuck with, all games will be buggy as hell.

My point is that 3 months after morrowind fewer people played then BEFORE it dropped.

Coolio, but tbh, the games pop is fine, spikes around dlc times, but the lag does need fixed, but zos just cannot do it, cos they are incompetent, simple as.

That's the point. Let's pressure them until they change thier tactics on how they do things. Maybe then they will achieve this elusive "compitence"

No I don't want another $25 mount I want to enjoy my game without lagging.
