How likely are you to recommend Elder Scrolls Online to a friend, partner or colleague?

LeHarrt91

the poll broke....

or is that on purpose

Elsonso

Bummer. Well, maybe another time.

idk

A couple years ago I would have, and did. During the past couple years it has become more clear that Zos is very inconsistent in how they manage the game which has driven some I know away.

That might change since Garrett has stated they are now working to "codifying our vision and long-term strategy for combat". My thought is finally after all these years. If they truly create a vision and stick to such ideals then we might begin to see something good come of it. If it is merely nothing more than empty words, as they have used the term "vision" before then we will see more of the same.

Vision and reality have two very different definitions.

I still, and will always recommend ESO as an MMO. Previously i would have recommended other mmos like TSW or wildstar or even LoTro but honestly i think this is the best MMO so far in terms of content and combat systems, regardless of how many complaints on it.

Too many people play MMOs like Mobas or online co-op games. and too many people play the game expecting no changes either. Its a no win situation for the devs or the players alike.

Sylvermynx

I recommend it to people who are just like me - looking for a fun MMO where you can level slowly while figuring out the overall thing. I've already had a couple of people start playing and having fun.

Yeah, I tend to not point them to the forums....

I very much agree. I would say Zos was confused but think they chose their words out of convenience.

Well, i think that speaks for itself, even their very own website can't bring itself to recommend the game ...

Chicharron

Of all my friends i am the only one who plays video games, they think it's for children or people with some kind of mental illness.

I have no one to recommend the game.

Gilvoth

even the poll busted

Every freaking time.
Wanna play a game. ESO.
Wanna play an rpg. ESO.
Wanna play an mmo. ESO.
Wanna play an fps, racing game, fighting game, stealth game, puzzle game, sports game, casual game?
ESO is all you need.

If players choose to find a guild and make some friends online, they can play the game for years. Most people want a game that isn't "completed" within a month I think. This game keeps them busy, they can choose their own path and their own pace and just for those reasons I will recommend this game to friends.

It all depends on what kind of people/players you recommend the game to. Hardcore players or some more casual types who want to run around and chat.

TheHsN

I can say what happens when i go home after work,
(By the way pls note that i play this game since beta and FAN of elderscrollsgames)

*I open game try to make dailies search for groups (dungeon finder) 30+min waiting and gave up
*I go to craglorn and summerset try to find random 12 people raid group 30+min waiting and gave up
*I try to go Cyrodill i wait 50+ people queuee and (20+min) and finally i get in and 5 min later i throw me out with LOADING *SCREEN and i gave up.
*I try to go to Battleground go for queuee i wait wait wait Says some one declined in group so wait wait wait 20+min, plus *pushing accept button every time turn comes and goes and i gave up.
*Close my pc

I go to shower brush my teeth go to bed sleep and wake up and go work....
Almost same cycle every time


If you like my life i highly recommend ESO for you :):)

TelvanniWizard

I normally would, because I love the game, but with all the ongoing issues, I couldn´t do that to a friend.

NoMoreChillies

if you are from OC and wanna play ESO?


NEVER

Gythral

The poll, like the rest of things here is broken!

Tandor

At my age I don't have any RL friends etc who play games, they've all moved on in one way or another, but I can think of quite a few from our earlier gaming days who would have loved ESO and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone (unless they were pure PvPers with no interest in PvE and for whom I think there are more suitable games). I have tried to get my son to play it but he just doesn't have the time. He's watched me playing it, however, and as a TES fan who played EQ2 with me he likes the look of it.

No, I tried to have 11 options and got an error creating it. I removed the last option, but I think it remained, and caused it to fail.

MornaBaine

Between poor performance, predatory sales practices, and the way the company flat out doesn't listen to its customers on a plethora of issues I no longer recommend this game to new players.I'm invested in it and have a lot of friends here which is why I stay. But I think it's a very poor bargain now and can't in good conscience encourage new people to invest in it.

Minyassa

I keep trying but all my stupid friends and family would rather play 1st person shooters. Boring. >_<

SantieClaws

Khajiit would say welcome, enjoy the sights and sounds.

Take your time, go to parties, find a small home you like.

Loot every wardrobe, pick every flower, start your crafting research early.

But keep your paws away from the crates yes for only disappointment and apex mounts lie within.

ArchMikem

Of course. You think I'd jump on the hater band wagon?

Turelus

Normally I ask what they're looking for in the game and give an honest answer.

If it's TES stories and lore or interesting group PvE for casual play I say go for it.

If it's competitive end game PvE or PvP I warn them of the issues but say they can give it a go and see for themselves, the base game is so cheap now it's hardly a loss.

JumpmanLane

I WARN people against starting this game. Seriously. The one person I did encourage to play, stopped after a week because Final Fantasy added some new content. He told me he’d come back to ESO after. I told him, if he found any measure of satisfaction from gaming at ALL; then find something else to play. After all, he’s not that invested. I wish I weren’t. ESO doesn’t PERFORM well...and that’s aggravating and mutes whatever joy can be had playing the game at ALL.

Yes..that. I will wait for the promised 'long term strategy for combat' before saying anything about recommending the game or not recommending it. Right now...sigh...

Uviryth

I cant in good consciousness recommend this game to anybody as long as animation canceling is still a thing. They would never forgive me.

Ramalamafizzfaj

This is the greatest game I have ever played. Absolutely I will recommend it to anyone with ears to hear.

miteba

Always!

Like it was said before, the only thing i dont recommend is coming to the forum before playing and experiencing ESO for some time, or at least be prepared for some toxicity, which is a known issue with all game forums.

myskyrim26

I have 2 friends who like TES games and lore. Both hate MMO (so do I, actually). I was first to try ESO, and I recommended it to my friends. Both are playing now. We all still hate the fact it is an MMO, but we love all other aspects of ESO. If someone will ask me about ESO, I will recommend it.
