Feedback and suggestions about ESO

Hello comrades !

First of all I wanna say that Zenimax did a great job with Summerset ! And I am creating this topic to share some of my thoughts about ESO with the community and hope to give a great feedback to future updates on ESO.

About the thoughts:
I've been playing ESO for 4 years now and we all agree that Zenimax did a great job since the beta. This game is getting better and better ! But, I have to make this topic to share opinions and "enhance" with other thoughts and make this game even better !
I am a big fan of Elder Scrolls saga and there is some aspects in the game that are making me a bit sad (in the lore and in the interactions with environment).
At the previous games like Skyrim and Oblivion, the quests are more immersive and the lore is very complete

Are you insane ? You're saying that the lore here is bad ???

No. Thats not what I said by far. Back to the subject in the previous games we can notice a lore that you can dive deep and know as much as you can about a character. Every little quest explains everything about a Daedric prince for example. I think ESO needs to make a more enhanced lore, with the details of every character inside of it. I am a player who wants to know every little thing about whats going on, I would like to know a history of a specific character (just an example)

I remember searching books in Skyring and reading diaries of the NPCs to learn something about their lives. To learn secrets about the lore, something that someone in the game development left there to someone find out and discover. And I don't feel the same way in ESO.

Everyone noticed in the previous games that when you are almost being detected in a cave or in a place that you shouldn't be there, the NPC always say "Is someone there ?". Giving me a awesome interaction with the NPC, I can thing that he is really thinking something, he is doing his job.

One more example is when the NPCS talk alone, about something that might be in their minds. That little detail could give you a lot of "immersion" into the whole game. Every NPC had a life, they have a family, a job, and a reason to be there. In ESO to be real I don't feel that, I feel the NPCS wanna show me the quest location and I have to do what I need to do and go away. That mechanic gives the game an air of artificial

Thats my thoughts about the game, and everything I said in here was just about a little examples of something that I miss in ESO. I really would appreciate if you guys read this and comment about your thoughts so we can help Zenimax to improve more and more the game !

Thank you all for reading this.

    Vox is to powerful wrt to quest line leading up to him. For payer with modest skill, it means you end up spending time on the quest line only to hit a dead end in a boss you can't kill. And, since content scales (?), you can't gain a level or two and then come back and kill him.

    Yes, granted it wasn't perfect and there were things that needed work but it was BETA not a 5 year old game.

    Look at vids from pvp in beta it ran better than it does now!

    It is necro post from July 2018... game was actually great atm, we simply didn't realized it then :D
    Huh?

    Damn, it feels bad probably, but it's pretty obvious ZOS won't start making lore deeper and ZOS won't create "alive" NPCs behind those countless closed doors. So it's nothing to say... you are either ok with large % of shallow quests or not, and so qq or stick to group content or PVP. Still all polls shows that majority likes those quests like "go close 4 portals, listen to generic dialog and receive reward of 87 gold", so dudes like me or OP are probably too demanding.

    When it launched there were a LOT more players, everywhere was packed!

    Watch some old vids the servers were not sharded so everyone was in same instance also.

    Regarding the elusive Pink Torchbug - I sent a ticket in trying to see if there was any way to pay for this (with crowns, crown gems, anything) because I had zero luck getting my hands on one. I never got a code despite trying. Every time I see one in game, I am haunted by it. I do not mean to sound dramatic, but it would mean so much to me if I could have one of my own. I play this game every day, I use it as a creative and social outlet and I have a character that it would look perfect on. What would it take to get a pink torchbug??? PLEASE!!! I WILL SELL MY SOUL TO ZOS FOR A PINK TORCHBUG!!!

    Returning player here! Was referred here by a Zenimax dev and wanted to leave feedback the game. The Devs really did a good job with High Isle, bringing back a great environment that's actually *not* unlike Summerset (which was the start of this thread), pushing the lore and giving us more of what we already love about the game. I also noticed there were some really good additions to the Crown Store this time around, but would love to see some returning ones--particularly the Nightmare Daemon Mask. Would love to support these devs as much as I can. Thanks for reading the comment!

    Hey,
    I really hope to see this game thrive alongside others. You should advertise to keep this going, this is a really good game and this deserves more players.

    Greetings,

    We have closed this topic as it was originally created in July 2018. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

    Thank you for your understanding.
