How many players will really leave game with next patch?

VerboseQuips

I won't leave (yet). But I am participating less and less and less into the group content. Now my main, who is a Templar healer, will probably become totally irrelevant for group content, so I guess I'll just stop participating in group stuff altogether.

While I do enjoy the single player quests in DLC, I come to enjoy the rest of the game less and less. Endless grind for crafting recipes. Repeating daily quests endlessly for achievements or reused events or scarce random drops. That' is becoming more and more of a tedium.

Withdrawing from group stuff will just severe one more tie that bonds me to the game, and bring me one step closer to the tipping point where I'll just, indeed, leave.

Love the changes and can see people actually thinking of coming back. Meta needed getting rid

For me I'm just sick and tired of changing my build, think your awesome at this game? Like that move you've been using? What about that class? What about that set you paid or farmed for? Guess what it's not only going to change, it's going to be totally different come any given three months.

You are here to beta test for them, the staff have made this very very clear I wouldn't be surprised if they just plain said it. They will -never- get another dime from me and my wife. They lost three subs today. About four more guild mates are jumping.

Same as usual? Happens ever patch you say? Well the funny thing is that has also been said about every MMO that died.

evry patch the same complainers none of you are leaving

^Pulled from Blade and Soul Forums... and yes they did finally leave.

Delparis

Only the smart ones will leave.
The idiots will keep playing this *** and missing opportunities in real life.

Tandor

I imagine it'll be the same few players who leave every Update, or so they claim.

Just look at the number of complaint threads. And you see a few people really happy about the changes. But you see more complaints. And I didn't think about this affecting the rpgers. But yes, I can see it would. This patch is different from previous. Usually, one or two classes feel short changed. But this time, both PVE and PVP will be affected. I think small scale pvpers like the direction. But when you start affecting PVE healers as much as this patch might, that has a lot of impact.

You obviously weren't here for the Morrowind patch...

With all these people leaving will we have a mailing list for free stuff and special closeout deals? I like free stuff

Sorry zos but you nerf my ***. I nerf your profits.

Also, fix your servers.

Cute and Pedantic, game is probably better off with out you.

Sephyr

Can we just open a community chest for the people leaving and we can just pick and choose what we want? No?


Shame.

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.

What movie was it?

Geeze with the performance issues and unfixed bugs. They pull this? Lol.

Geeze ...

I never really considered the idea of leaving after 3 years of playing and I still probably won't entirely leave, but I will be taking a heavy break if a lot of the dumb *** in those notes goes live without tweaks.

darvaria

Yeah I was here for Morrowind. A few players I know left the game. But this patch is off setting more players. But less players = less lag (maybe).

generalmyrick

zero, all my discords and psn chats are all saying its some good and some bad...but the excitement is definitely not neutral, its positive.

I CAN'T WAIT!

darvaria

It's not "zero". I'm guessing by seeing these responses 10-20% of players will cancel subs. Some players are staying around but canceling subs. I just need to figure out what I'll do with 60K of crowns .............

Yeah just looked at a poll. 20% cancelling subs. As for just "quitting" doubtful that ZOS cares.

I've heard about 5 players say they may take a break.

I don't think , this game or ZOs has anything to offer. The next game will decide the fate of the ZOs and Bethesda as a gaming company. I am not a customer for ZOs anymore nor have anticipation for their next game. It will be *** anyway. Game and combat class balance in this game is more or less like a big scam on large scale to me.
The entire US gaming industry is doomed. Rockstar to need to pull a miracle in GTA 6 . In the last five years Europe gaming industry is booming hard.

Its pathetic noob *** a gaming company can do. What do people think of their game?
Do they think people left will buy their next game?

10-20% of those who bother to have a forum account, log in and then comment. Sooo, not so many really.

But yes, the sky is falling, the game is dying, this changes everything, can’t possibly be expected to perform under these conditions, etc etc etc.

I already tired. They start change thingth, that was from the beggining. Only 1 healing undaunted ball - so funny.

Eso team - you degrodate this game for year already. Just do not change anything. You just can not do it good. Even your lore master run away already, the players will go away to soon.

When i start to play all was good, but now bugs, lugs - 10 minutes loading screans, you even can not do dunguon finder for yrar to work. Even student from bad instutute will make it work for so much time. Panels do not swap, lugs, bugs.

Nothing go better. You already kill race passives ok good. Now you deside to kill the whole game?

I beleave that your team consist from 2 parts. Old team that make god stuf, and new asshanded , that even can not do the simple stuff. And it looks like that thay do all this new changes. It is near impossible for me to believe, that people who make this game with all this great stuff, inverse kinimaticks, perfect design and story degrodate so much, that can not now do even the simple thingth. If i am right, just get out your new workers already. Or thay just destroy all this project.

OwnerOfSuccuby

Peoples who can not play good just can go away. If you can not play good and do not want to learn please go another project. I even can say you some of them. With just 1 button to press. Do not destroy good game. Peoples who can not play good will always deslike all, they always will be killed in game by thouse who learn and play better. But with all this *** changes, the game become so bad , that i think it will be werse than "Perfect world". It will be a shame.

Many of my friends quit after the Morrowind patch which was the last time changes which were this drastic were proposed and implemented. Personally I don't think I will quit but I can definitely see myself playing a lot less often. There's only so much you can keep nerfing stuff before you start losing people who have been playing for a long time. So yes I do believe some people will definitely quit but it seems like their focus right now is to bring in new players rather than to try and retain the people who have been playing for a while.

AcadianPaladin

I'm not going to react until any changes actually go live on the main servers. Then I'll take a good look at them.

My concern, as a soloist has always been what I guess is an MMO thing of futility changing things for 'balance'. Frankly, I'd rather build my character on a somewhat uneven but solid foundation than a foundation of shifting sands. All I know is that, for me, each and every major skills update patch I've experienced results in making my game less and less fun. Since it seems that this trend has no end in sight, I suppose it is just a matter of time before one of these patches sends me back to single player games.

ZarkingFrued

I've played every day since Morrowind. Active in guilds, pve, and pvp. 12 maxed out. Honestly thinking about throwing in the towel. I don't see how they destroy some skills and make others broken good in the same patch sequence everytime. They mention that they know tank meta in pvp is bad right now, then they nerf damage everywhere. Also they really don't care when they change how skills and sets work entirely, throwing off everyone's progress and builds every update.

TheValar85

Alot. but dont worry ZOs wont give out numbers cos they fear they will become Blizz 2.0 if not already

Same. It's a shame, because I had just returned to ESO after an one year break (was too busy with real life stuff), but if this patch goes live with all these nerfs, I'll just log to do a few dailies and get the daily reward, then play something else. I had plans to buy the Elsweyr expansion along with all the other expansions I missed along the way, but now I think I can live perfectly well without them.

I'm just glad Borderlands 3 is just around the corner. I can't wait for that game to be released.

I’m going to def keep playing I love these changes
