What annoys you the most in eso?

abzdeman

May it be petty or may it be large.

What annoys me the most is that 80% of people in this game don't know how to interrupt bosses. It's really sad.

How hard is it to press L2 R2? That's why people don't get better when they don't know basics.

What about you?

Hamster wheel fails. The lag and the freezing up always makes me use bad words, all of them, all at once, with spit and emphasis.

Suddwrath

1) Poor performance
2) Bugs that have been around for literally years
3) Lack of communication from the devs

Odovacar

Performance plain and simple. Otherwise I don't have many grips.

EDIT: also consoles only: I wish we had COMBAT METRICS BREAKDOWN!

mertusta

Lag in Cyro. Though I got used to it after 4 years.

daemonios

Developer feedback and response to serious issues. Also, the crown store.

Shawn_PT

RNG.

I like knowing I'll get my reward if I take x steps. I don't like having to take x steps and maybe get something I want, or maybe not. Who knows! Keep trying ad nauseum and I'll probably still not get it.

UnseenCat

In B4 complaints about mudball-thowers, mystery meat-droppers, and critics of ESO pranksters in general. Lighten up!

This one will now go climb in your trees and sleep in your flowerbeds...

Cyro lag

Load screens. Ugh.

You just got in good mood about playing - and bam! stacked on loading screen. Ctrl-alt-delete, force quit, re-logon - good mood is gone.

Spamming Break Free to no avail when feared.

Indignant forum users demanding an apology for a joke and actually getting it. (the apology, not the joke)

Mancombe_Nosehair

People whining.

Knightpanther

The fact you have to spec a certain way to be of any use in Dungeons, so much for the play your own way we were promised pre launch.

Be safe

Consistent performance issues and lag in cyrodiil throughout the game's entire release

qbit

I don’t have an L2 and R2 key. And it was never really explained. Took me several months to realize what I considered a “bash” worked at a distance to interrupt. Not totally intuitive.

What annoys me is when a boss requires interrupting a mechanic and the 4+ year elitist keeps telling you to interrupt but you don’t know what that means. Then you get insulted by some autist without a life. Called a potato and an idiot etc.

20 keys for the meta shoulders and 80 for the same shoulders in the proper weight. But at least I got divines when I got the light weight. Yeah having stuff like that behind an RNG is annoying.

Aebaradath

Performance issues that have persisted and in some cases gotten worse since its release back in 2014.

pod88kk

Having to farm VMA for an inferno staff, and that stupid jump your mount does where it looks like you're about to do full jump across the water but your mount just stays in the same spot..... Even after doing a big jump

The constant complaining from players.

This is probably my favorite thing, if the community was against criticism and calling things out that Zenimax does or does not do, it would be a pretty stagnant game.

Dojohoda

Only the problems with playing in Cyrodiil- Vivec. I really like pvp, so I mostly play in lowbieville because there are fewer issues.

RNG. Need a token system.

Mounts not swimming

Lack of in home guild banking and equipment repairs. Lack of porting out of home. We can port in, why not out?

What annoys me the most are the MMO tropes.

I mostly play RPGs, and I prefer real RPGs: games that are basically books delivered in computer format where you are a character in the story and given branching choices that impact the outcome of the narrative. Very few true RPGs are made these days, so I end up making do with pseudo-RPGs. I picked up ESO because it's (sort of) an RPG and set in a worldspace I knew I would enjoy. The MMO tropes were, from the start, a turn-off to me. Some of it I've gotten used to, some of it I haven't. Those tropes remain what annoy me most about the game, especially when they get in the way of telling a good story.

Bots overrunning Camlorn when I'm trying to role-play through that story? Worst thing ever.
Designing an outfit for your character sucking gold into nothingness for no reason? Completely stupid.
Item sets in general, especially those locked behind group content and chance rolls? No reason for it.
Exorbitantly high costs for cosmetic items that help express your characters? Veritable robbery.

It's all sorts of little things. Little things that, apparently, are an industry standard in MMOs. It was immediately apparent to me what these MMO tropes are designed to do - addict people to the game. They are there to facilitate gaming addiction or compulsive behavior. And that is there to get you, the consumer, to spend inordinate amounts of money on the game. I like the narrative and worldspace in this game enough to look the other way on this, for now. In the past, this sort of behavior has been a solid deal breaker in terms of me supporting a game at all. It's unethical. And it's been getting worse, not better.

Xerikten

the trade guild/bazaar system.

i'm a man. I want to buy something NOW. not travel all over to find it after going to a online site to see where it is and mostly WAS after traveling there.

Same. All kinds of load screens. The 5 minutes after a new update starting load screen. Character in and out load screens, have a lot of characters, and sometimes it crashes out. House load screens. Random pop up load screens. And the dreaded load screen of death in Cyrodiil.
