Good time to come back to the game?

✭Look, try it yourself, but objectively this is not a great game
True, but then, enjoyment is subjective, fortunately.
My first impression of ESO (which is also my first MMO) was 'damn, it actually doesn´t seem to be worse than Skyrim'. I don´t like MMOs in general, but ESO is one of those games which has to me been more fun to play than is 'objectively' reasonable. Willow, Lagoon, Morrowind to some extent.. you can point out major flaws in them, but ultimately the only thing you can do is ask yourself, "is this worth my time" and answer yourself truthfully.
To me, ESO actually has a pretty great and fluid combat system. The major drawback is that there is almost no content where you actually need to use it: PvP is to burst-y to really adapt or respond, and PvE is too much of a rollover. Quests are sometimes good, sometimes meh. Patches are fine IMO, you get some good changes and some bad changes, and then you roll with them or sit in a corner and sob. Take your pick. The lack of PvE difficulty is my major gripe and I´ve played less because of it. Might take a long break and not come back until better difficulty is implemented.
I have not personally experienced any unusual lag whatsoever (PC EU) so I´m not sure any worsened lag can even be blamed on ZOS.
To OP: If you haven´t played Summerset, try it. I mean, the game is sort of like it has always been, Morrowind and Summerset have higher production value content (and have to / had to be bought separately), Clockwork City and Murkmire have less production value. PvP is OP builds and whining so, nothing new since the Beta there.
Take the game for what it is.Edited by MaleAmazon on November 19, 2018 1:49PM1 -

✭Performance for me has been pretty great this patch, and im in SEA. Dunno what the others are saying. It’s probably a user-side issue with them.2 -

I agree that the combat system is good.
But overall, id's say this game feels like it's been neglected, iv'e already made a lot of posts, and many other people did, so there is no point repeating the same point over and over, i'm sure that if you visit the forum from time to time, you should know what i'm referring to.0 -

That's a good thing. People come to the forums in highest numbers when there's something wrong with the game.
That being said, you're only seeing the calm after the storm that was Murkmire PTS period.0 -

✭Depends on what server your on PC NA is pretty good but if you happen to have the game on consoles you shouldn't waste your time both PS4 and Xbox one is a shell of its former self if your a casual player its probably fine but if you plan on doing endgame content then definitely not worth coming backXbox One - NA GT: RebornV3x
I also play on PC from time to time but I just wanna be left alone on there so sorry.0 -

✭✭I came back after 1.5-2 years. And I'm loving it. Even though I changed platforms and I have to pretty much start all the way again, I can't stop playing.
Heck, I haven't played red dead redemption since it was released even though I have it installed."Knee-jerk reactionist."

Then again, is it ever? Same shitt after every new DLC and reoccurring anniversary events. Why am I still with this game, you ask? Ok, I'll answer, since you asked. Cause all my female toons are hot as hell. Only thing worthwhile in this game. Yeah, I know, truly sad really.. ha ha
But nowhere near as hot as mines. I'm willing to bet!

✭✭✭Hop on while ESO+ is having free trial. Really depends though on what you want to get from the game. I am very satisfied.0 -

Black desert would be such a good game if not for the extreme grind and p2w, it's just sad.
I would switch to it in a heartbeat if those things were not in the game.
The second one is gw2 i think, right? Is it good?Edited by JinMori on November 19, 2018 8:23PM1 -

Yes I agree with you on the BDO part.
The second one is GW2 indeed.0 -

Play for like a month before you decide to sub or not. You may have to reconfig your playstyle based on the changes, as they were a big deal.0 -

✭✭Asking here will most likely not get you a representative sample of answers
Forums are known for a lot of negativity. Sometimes I wonder why many of these people who spread a lot of negativity seem to stick around anyway.
I'm still enjoying the game, even though there's not really anything I can go for these days, since I cleared everything I wanted already.
But the balance is actually better than many make it sound here, and there is a huge amount of content to do.
If I feel the need to be critical about something, I always speak my mind, whether on these forums or irl. I do my best to be polite though.0 -

✭✭Yes. Good time to come back. Action and combat are full on non-stop. Literally. You can step foot in Cyrodiil and be in combat for days. Even when you want to take a break, you will be unable to. Just constant combat.

Finviuswe✭✭✭✭Oh yeah. Yeah. Great time.
Patch just hit. Population has been consistent. Some of the balance changes are quite interesting.Edited by Finviuswe on November 20, 2018 1:26AM1 -
Heimpai✭✭✭✭✭I quit and recently came back...I’ve been enjoying it thus far, suppose all i really needed was a break
If you have the time then why not try it?0 -
todokete✭✭✭✭✭
Yea, but the grind is still there, and it's a private server, so performance updates etc, probably aren't as good as in the official server.
I encourage you to come and try it before you say nonsense0
