ZoS Cares About . . . . More?

Night_Wolf2112

In your own opinion....
What does ZoS care about more?

JinMori

Money $$$ (bottom line)

They obviously care about all of those to some degree, but at the end of the day, facts speak clearly, and money is what they prioritize.

Zos cares about touring Cosplay! Didn't you see?!

ChunkyCat

Money $$$ (bottom line)

And I’m not even mad.

Different departments care about different aspects of the game.

ya know, i actually think this is a fair point.

not often someone changes my opinion on something.

I would say the majority of zos does actually care most about the customer and an enjoyable experience

combat team tho..... my answer still stand until we really get to see brians work

Their Vision

Their vision (with bottom line coming in a close second place).

The recent "racial rebalance" was a testament to that.

Such a poor excuse for the lore-shattering changes they pushed through. Nothing like tossing aside decades of rich, established lore to support your "vision."

Not like people play The Elder Scrolls for that silly lore anyway. No, of course not...

Sorry I can't pretend to know how to answer this poll.

They should prioritize money. That helps them stay in business. The key is to do that without destroying the game or the playerbase in the process. That's the real trick.

Oops wrong one, i meant "They prioritize game performance and player experience" but that option wasnt there.. Weird🤔

Any business comes down to money, but they have to keep all the other aspects in focus to keep the money rolling in.

This is basic business and nothing special with Zos. It is the same where you work.

I don't consider "ZoS" <I am going to assume you mean the ones directly involved with ESO> on a one side track. They wouldn't bother with half the stuff they do. They could have pulled a TSW and released literally 8 quest line only DLC. No dungeons, no raids, just random solo story crap.

Guess what happened to that game.

This is no secret. The fact that they lock certain mounts behind RNG scam crates, which someone could spend thousands of dollars on and still not get the one they want says it all.

one is not mutually exclusive to the other - of course as a company they want to maximize profits but any company realises you can only do that by making players happy...and i also get the feeling that zos has overall a good grasp of the games and when to give in to player demands and when not to listen to every whining

No doubt about it
I think they wanted to make a subscription based game but it failed terribly and now they are making money with even from small things

They want balance in pvp, impossible really, there is always something killing somebody in pvp, and they will never like it.

Money $$$ (bottom line)

because it's a business. derp.

Tonnopesce

Money $$$ (bottom line)

If the game is making money then it will stay alive, simple math.
They do care about the rest otherwise they cannot make money ya know.

To paraphrase: Here's our vision, and if you don't like it, well........ you know you don't have to be here, right?

Of course, but at the end of the day it's the people paying their bills that calls the shots. Looking at the state of the game we can see where their heart lies.

Hey, this is no charity, almost all games in the end are made to make money. But one can still make money and care about making good content at the same time.

Depends on department.

However I would say most of the ZOS dev teams (the ones we all know the names of) care about making ESO a great game.

The ones people get all salty about and pushing monetisation above gameplay people probably couldn't even name.

Casterial

The Game Itself (enjoyable experience)

The company / developers care about the game, the publisher and PMs care about the money, they need a good return on marketing, and developmental cost.

Obviously money will be the main driving force as they are a company and need to make profits in order to keep going.

I honestly dont think they care about anything. They cant even make money successfully. They treat everything like its a chore, ask for something and it gets implemented badly with some awful trade-off. Ask them to fix something,they break something else. They just dont follow through.

Well this is going well.. lol

I mean, we got murkmire for free didn't we. So I'd say it's a balance between Money and the Player, although that's starting to drop since we ain't getting more freebie crates anymore. Wish I could say they cared more about the lore though..
