Are you happy with how PVE is currently performing?

Juhasow

After seeing similar thread about PvP I am really curious what people think about PvE side of the game. Also please explain Your answer if You can.

Bhaal5

No

Though more stable (lag wise) than pvp

MLGProPlayer

It's a poorly optimised game. It's no secret. Most MMOs are though and that's not about to change. The only way to fix it would be to remake the entire game with a different engine.

Banana

No

Buff the server

akl77

No

Lag as always.
Still has random disconnects for no reason.
When reloading ui it goes into infinite loading screen.
Especially bad 1 day or two before maintenance.
PS4 na.

Too many heavy attacks.

No

WHERE OUR SUSTAIN GO? HEAVY ATTACKS SUCK BRUH.

Kneighbors

Yes

I like the heavy attacks. I'm 70 y/o, retired, have slow thinking and reaction, current combat really suits me. I don't like all those modern games where you have to be fast and press 10 buttons simultaneously. ESO is the best for people like me. No need to aim, no need to make many clicks, just plant 2-3 AoEs/DoTs and let the heavy attack devastate your enemy. 2 seconds animation gives me enough time to think what to do next (another heavy attack I guess)

SoLooney

No

hell no!

Yes

Well,
PvE is fine if I look at PvP state :-D

I always tend to compare ESO and WoW, and I can say that I like ESO PvE much better. However, PvP is another story. ESO PvP can't even hold the name "PvP" because what we have is a joke, a bad parody. No competition, no rewards, no prestige, nothing. I usualy play ESO and when I feel need for some competitive PvP action, I don't even consider stepping into Cyrodiil or BGs. I rather play a match or two of League of Legends.

I disagree with the sustain issues and heavy attacks. Look at magDK, it was considered the worst sustaining class out of all due to expensive skills. With Flame Lash I hardly drop below 40% magicka without single heavy attack. MagNB, magsorc must do a heavy attack or two on occasion but that is not much of a deal. Magplar has 5pc moondancer bonus.

Azurya

Yes

Being someone doing much overland content with my many builds, I can and do enjoy the PVE content.
For those who think it is not hard enough, I can admit that, but after all they are implementing new stuff all the time, trials, dungeons and raids, but yeah soon eough it is learned, you know what to do when, and so if you are looking for HARDCORE stuff, you will not find it. But as my chars are on the road in overland content I still meet enough players who are having a hard time doing this and will that are the 2 faces of the medal, but as you hardcore endgame players are the minorty in game ZOS will need to find a way to make PVE for both ends of the wage interessting.

Vrienda

No

The skill gap and barrier of entry into high end content is too high.

Huyen

No

More concerned with the community then with the game itself.

Qbiken

No

The fact that magicka Templar is underperforming due to their main dps-skills doesn´t work as they should bothers me a lot. Sweeps and Radiant destruction doesn´t do the correct amount of extra % damage as they should........

WuffyCerulei

No

Lag got worse with the last patch, and it's made running trials and stuff harder than it needs to be.

Destruent

No

- heavy-attack rotation sucks (light attack works and is fun, but is a big DPS-loss)
- balance between magicka/stamina is really bad (especially considerung magicka melee-characters)
- less and less reward for good group coordination (i.e warhorn nerf, orbs nerf, and so on)
- synergies are working worse and worse with every update
- great mechanics in trials which get overloaded with crappy nonsense noone needs

edit: for those who like heavy-attack-rotations: they have been competitive even before morrowind...but now la-rotations aren't...

Liofa

It's never going to be fine unless all 10 builds (Stamina/Magicka for all classes) are somewhat viable at the same time .

Aquanova

No

Lag in pve area's including dungeons and trials.

Tandor

Yes

Content is great, and I have no performance or balancing issues.

Marabornwingrion

No

1. Terrible performance in trials - doesn't matter which trial, situation is always the same: infinite lag and random disconnects. ZOS keeps releasing new DLCs with new trials but they do nothing to improve performance there. I'm so sick that I need to play on lowest graphic settings with all addons disabled and I still can't see sh*t because of lag.

2. Heavy attack meta - it's really not fun.ESO combat always was quite slow compared to other MMOs but sustain changes made it even slower than it already was. No, I'm not saying that infinite resources are good, but what ZOS did in Morrowind was just too much. I've lost all enjoyment in running trials with Morrowind because heavy attacking 80mln HP boss is frustrating and boring as f*ck. Some of my raiding guilds died because of it, I'm running trials now very occasionally and doing it only because of friends and guildies.

3. Overland content is too easy - you can easily kill mobs with spamming 1 skill, enemies from quests are also too easy to kill. They should buff all enemies in all zones to make us be more careful when we are travelling through different lands, and force us to prepare for every fight.

4. Dungeons mechanics are boring - seriously, 99% of vet dungeons in game can be easily done as 4x DDs - just stack and burn everything. ZOS should add more mechanics to bosses and mobs in dungeons so it won't be a boring dps race, and force us to think and be careful while fighting with bosses.

5. RNGeesus and BoP loot - First thing they should implement smart loot so we won't be getting useless junk like inferno staves of vicious ophidian or 2 handed maul of infallible aether. Less useless items = more chance of getting weapon that you actually want. Second thing - make all trial gear BoE so more people will be interested in running them. I remember when in the past I was doing farm runs in Crag trials, just to get nice gear (like worm rings) for sale.

6. RIP class balance - I know this game never will be balanced well, but in the past there were moments that balance between classes was quite good. It's sad that every big update ZOS changes something that some of the classes are really strong in terms of dps and welcome in trials, and some of them not really.

FoolishHuman

Yes

You are asking in the wrong place, almost everyone on these forums is angry for some reason. This is a place for outrage not for appreciating the game, so a poll like that will always have the same outcome.

Runschei

Yes

Leaning more towards the 'yes' side than the 'no' side

Zer0oo

No

For endgame pve: NO (too lazy to repeat it everything so i quoted someone who already listed most of them )

-and never ending bugs(players are still sometimes invisible after porting in, slow bug, ....)
-extrem lag and fps drop in trials

The more casual aspect of the game(a.k.a role playing):
really easy and alot to do

Tinus_92

Bring magdk, magplar and magden dps numbers in trial environments somewhat on par with stamina classes and it should be balanced decently. Melee magicka doesn't got a trialspot atm.

mocap

Yes

just want class change token. Any price. Tired from Magplar and don't want to start all that enormous pve content again.

Lady_Scorp72

Yes

I voted yes, but it's not an unqualified 100%. I have no complaints about the gameplay in PVE, but the lag in certain areas is beyond frustrating. Orsinium and Abah's Landing are the worst locations for me, and Dolmens/World Bosses can stutter so badly that too often I can't do anything except leave the fight.

What I like best about PVE (as a solo, casual gamer), is that I can pick and choose quests and activities based on my mood and the amount of time I have to play—it feels like the choices are endless, and I love that. If I want to relax and explore or craft there's tons of activities to choose from, but if I'm feeling social I can team up with people for a WB or dungeon group and have fast paced fun. I'm surprised that six months into it, I never feel bored and even get excited about discovering new things to try. I hope this aspect of the game never changes.

That said, I'd have no problem with ZOS creating more exclusively group content, gear, and/or higher difficulty zones/DLC, for those players who want a more hardcore option beyond veteran level dungeons. I think there's definitely room for more of this, while keeping the overall solo playability of PVE intact.

richo262

No

No end game.
No reason to farm.
I have 200+ undaunted keys and no desire to use them as I either already have it, or if it is good, there is nowhere to store it.
Most items found cannot be sold.
Most items found cannot be collected without mule toons.
Once you have found your items, the game goes stale pretty quick.

Waiting on an armory system or being able to sell items again so the game is worthwhile again.

Given that traits can be changed now, if they re-enabled selling the restricted items, they won't be worth anywhere near as much, so I suspect the only solution is an armory system.

Aionna

No

I don't like one-shot mechanics and the fact that they are centered around dps.

So many item sets in the game but so few are being utilized.

Jade1986

Yes

I dont see any problems with pve aside from framerate issues and lag, but the lag is across the whole game, not just one spectrum.

menedhyn

Yes

Granted, I have very occasional performance issues, but nothing to warrant getting angry or frustrated over. The content remains interesting, and mostly untouched as things stand (I really must get a move on though...)
