ESO classic?

With the advent of WoW classic, would it be possible to get an ESO classic set sometime before the lighting patch?

Or at least before Tamriel Unlimited

    ESO back at launch or even in 1.6 would be amazing. Classes actually felt unique back then and you could build some pretty unique and crazy builds on every single class.
    Overload rework. Power Overload now does physical damage and grants you the power of a tornado: You throw a brick at the target with a light attack, and you hammer your head into that brick with every heavy attack. We have decreased its Ultimate cost, but increased the chance that you get stuck in the animation.

    Only if it was a separate game or there was a toggle to turn it on or off. As someone who's been here since closed beta, I would really rather not relive this game's first year or so of life.

    Also, just because other games or franchises do a thing doesn't mean they all have to do that thing.

    No, but good job on making assumptions just because we disagree with you. This game back in the day was rife with bugs and exploits, fewer features, fewer options. Also before 1T it was impossible to play with friends who were in a different Alliance because the Alliances were segregated into their own instances. Reverting things back before 1T would cause a huge uproar with people.

    That would require a second set of servers which means 6 more servers. ESO runs larger servers so they do not have the multitude of differences WoW can do with their many servers.

    In other words, it is very unlikely even before you consider that WoW has several times the players ESO has.

    Yeah some people forgot that. I hit VR1-5 when this bug occurred on the Pact mobs. And Pact was the first Vet Zone for Dominion players. The trash fights were absolutely horrible with the mobs having maxed resistances & mitigations while hitting like trucks.

    Define "ESO Classic"? ESO Classic equals Veteran Levels cap to 16. You couldn't play with other alliance members (which is OK with me), and classes were completely unbalanced. On one side to had DK, Sorc and NB, and on the other side Templar who couldn't keep up.
    If someone, especially DKs, died as the hands of a Templar, were post in this forum that the Templar guy cheated!!!!

    The only thing most of us asked was the Cyrodiil faction lock from when the game came live. We got this, and all of us are happy.
    The systemic cheaters are not but, we do not care less.

    This fundamentally doesn't recognize the difference between Classic WoW and Classic ESO. You literally cannot do any of the content that was in Classic on live servers in WoW. It's gone. It was all removed and replaced. The entire game has more or less been radically remade down to the core, with the only thing being the same is the engine.

    All of the content from vanilla ESO is still there and accessible, it didn't go anywhere. While Veteran Ranks were changed to CP, the very foundations and nature of the entire game weren't dramatically revamped, like in WoW with the removal of training skills, talent trees, as well as the massive ability pruning which leaves most Live classes with less abilities than they had in Classic. Abilities in ESO have been changed and rebalanced, but not a single class has ever straight up lost access to 30% of their skills because they were removed from the game.

    The only reason to want older versions of ESO is because that was the patch where your favorite class/build/whatever was preforming better than it is now, which really isn't a reasonable excuse to funnel resources into dedicated servers only one person would play on.

    Blizzard would save alot of money by just taking the pile it took to develop WoW Classic and lite it on fire.
    People will play it for a year tops.

    Vanilla WoW was a terrible game, and so was Pre-1T compared to what we have now in ESO.

    Old ESO was garbage, only good thing was the challenge some mobs put up like the harvesters (you actually had to kill their healing orbs and couldn't just burn through their health in a few seconds, though that was the bane of new players).

    ESO launch was so bad my elder scrolls nostalgia almost couldn't keep me playing. That game was absolute trash compared to One Tamriel. I would never play the version of this game with vet levels and faction lock nonsense.

    I mean they say this and all but in Elsweyr DK's got their wings clipped and stamina nightblades playstyle has significantly changed to be more like other classes.

    While I do this this patch has improved the game, my hopes have been pretty much erased in the game, it's seriously doubtful that classes will regain their previous uniqueness unless they do some serious changes to the game (aka heavily nerf armor sets, traits and CP across the board). And I seriously doubt they intend to go this route as it would be in their eyes, way too much effort.

    Only thing that needs changing today is the servers and Alkemi

    Other than the lag/server responses and the delay caused by the anti-ddos the game is much much better than at any point in the first 2 years

    Yes. ESO was an absolute fail when it launched 5 years ago...it would be like taking 10 steps backwards and there wouldn’t be any players left on the game. No, no, no.
