How many players will really leave game with next patch?

Integral1900

THE WHOLE HM TRIALS COMMUNITY.....🤪

.... so, maybe three dozen.... 😎

To be honest the mass ranks of lovable casuals most likely won’t notice anything changed 😂

Necrotic Orb:
You can only have 1 orb active at a time.

i like a lot of the changes with few exceptions most notably the reduction inaoe dot damage but thats mostly my ego talking

While I can’t say I want to quit the game completely, these changes are making me want to take an extended break. I’m waiting for the final patch notes to come out on PTS but have canceled my sub for the time being. Performance issues and constant lag in pvp aside, those patch notes were really the nail in the coffin. Why would I want to sub to a game that is borderline unplayable in pvp anyway?

To be frank, I'm surprised you guys even have your subs running at this point. Cancelled mine some 8 months ago when Zenimax gave my entire damn region the middle finger with Akamai.

Im keen for some new metas tbh

I have some concerns as a sorc healer. With only one class ability to heal, orbs was a big part of my healing (I'm aware it's top healing for every healer usually, but warden and templar both have multiple class heals at least).
Changes to springs I'm honestly fine with, but lacking utility already that other healers can bring and eating this orb nerf... well, hell, maybe I'll finally get to dps now instead. I'm not gonna rage and quit over it, but I am disappointed.

Nitribit

Who cares. Some will leave, some will come.
Patch notes not even official and peeps going crazy.
Always the same story.
Just wait till the next update is going live, with the officil patch notes and than you can cry a river, for god sakes.

WuffyCerulei

I really can't say how different the dps will be, but it's definitely gonna be changing. Unstable Wall of Elements is probably gonna be the new meta over blockade. 8 seconds now? AND a buff to the damage at the end? Then, again, there may be a shift in focusing more on rotations that implement more single target skills.

I'm leaving.

Going to the grocery store to pick up milk and bananas.

Then I'm coming back.

Not me for sure. Many changes in those neaked lotes are pretty well thought. In general I think if legit it could be one of the best balance patches.

Laugh out loud.

Kinky.

What I see different in this patch is that players aren't really "crying". I see more reaching an emotionless conclusion .... time to move on. The game is broken and this just gives more reason to leave. Got to think that Wow Classic is coming out soon.............

Just too many changes that affect way too many players. I don't know where all this came from?

CritsTheBed

I didn’t believe the patch notes were real simply because I couldn’t believe zos would push so many things through that I would actually change myself. I stand corrected.

I main magsorc which some will say is getting gutted but In pvp magsorc is overperforming. We all know it and the ones who won’t admit it like their crutch just like I do. But with a nerf to certain heavy sets, certain weapon skills and a buff to shuffle I think this is the best set of changes to happen to the game in a very long time.

darvaria

The very idea of introducing so many changes when the game is in such need of fixing basic problems. They cancel Midyear Mayhem because the servers are too "broken" but spend all this development money into making all of those changes.

Jeirno

I'll be leaving before next patch, mostly because I will have to go to Army. Guess I picked a good time to go there so I don't have to deal with this mess and hope its fixed when I get back home.

Cancelled their sub during night because of PTS notes? Man, that’s what I call dramatic. And I thought the movie I watched last night was unsettling.

i actually cancelled my sub because the game is too laggy. why pay monthly when you can just buy the dlc with ingame currency xP. only thing im missing out is craftbag but eso is laggy and too many bugs. So i wouldnt wanna pay monthly for this

Nemesis7884

i do like that they standardize more which makes it easier to balance....but to keep class identity what they should do is introduce and utilize a lot more minor and major (de)buffs that can be selectively distributed among the classes to create a unique theme and unique synergies

Performance is a serious issue and a reason to cancel your sub, but canceling due to PTS notes? I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Lisutaris

Look at the bigger picture:
Special effects with % in-/decrease get standardized.
Instead 2 spiders (undaunted skill) only 1 will spawn.
Instead of xyz orbs, only 1 per player.
Pets get nerfed (ok everything get nerfclubbed with the current pts patch notes. There will be some changes for sure). -> less pets.

--> less action on the screen. --> bandage aid fix for better performance.
(ReWriTiNg ThE cOdE ... LOL)

IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING !!!! THIS ONE IS TELLING YOU !!!!

Enough to solve the server performance issues

Ragnarock41

I haven't played the game since the chapter hit live, Actually I was thinking of coming back to see if killing off heavy SnB builds made the meta any better.

The man, the myth, the legend. Has been a while seen i've seen you terrorizing bgs alonside your trusty Twilight Matriarch. Would be a shame if ZOS were to nerf...oh, nvm. RIP pet sorcs LOL

Anyways, good to see you're still around.

VeryEvilPuma

Unless ZO$ fix their performance issues I won’t pay for the game. Also I haven’t already play about for a week and think won’t come back unless the game start to be playable again. But maybe it will never happen...

Turelus

I don't plan on going anywhere.

I gave up getting mad over balance changes long ago, sure they annoy me and I have things I hate but eh, life's too short to get mad a games balance.

Me. That's it, my healer is done, going back to single player gaming. :P

Deathlord92

They are nerfing the heavy meta a bit and pet sorcs. I can’t imagine why anyone would be upset with this. 30 minute fights and then both players walking away is not fun 😑

wolf486

My break started 5 months ago. Just re-installed ESO again but seeing as performance is worse than ever and the population of cities I usually spent most of the time in is dead, I will continue with other games. BDO and GW2 I am finding far more enjoyable for my MMO fix, otherwise I prefer single player games. Also since I refuse to waste money on ESO+ now, no crafting bag means less time playing as the game just becomes an inventory management sim.

Well said, people will come and people will go, most people forget about the changes after a few weeks anyway then its all doom and gloom when the next patch notes come around.
