Guess those bugs were not detected before.

    8/10 is probably what I would have ranked it as well, maybe a 7.

    Most likely a PVE only score correct? At least I believe that is how they normally have scored things, based upon their PVE experience.

    If you weren't trying to do the Main Quest at the same time as Elsweyr, or you didnt know how certain necro skills were supposed to work, I don't remember Elsweyr specifically having too many bugs.

    Log on, play the game for what, a couple of hours.....? Write a review. Yep, a solid 8/10.

    Now, stick around for 5 years, play PVP and PVE, stress the game, trade, etc....... 2/10.

    Mind you, they might have played on the NA server where the grass is three shades greener and server load issues do not apply.

    For as annoyed as I am with the lags, bugs and other issues, Elsweyr was a pretty nice chapter with some well-written quests here and there, some of which were genuinely funny. I felt it was one of the better chapters.
    Nobody cares about your endless list of terribly-named characters.

    Because 17/18 of those 'critics' that rated the DLC were paid for by Zenimax. The only actual user review gave it a negative. Metacritic hasn't been a legit source for ratings in...god knows how long. Even less now that they've been known to cull negative user reviews lol.

    Rating the game right now depends entirely on what kind of player you are and what server you play on.

    PCNA/PVE=Everythings nearly perfect unless you do trials.
    PCNA/PVP=PVP is..well still pvp with all the problems that entails.

    PCEU/PVE=Playable.. but the latency is causing problems everywhere.
    PCEU/PVP=Dumpsterfire.

    That's just a tiny snapshot. The trouble with these forums is its also often the .5% screaming like they represent the 99%. ESO is still, by a considerable margin, one of the top MMOs out there with no more or fewer issues than any other major MMO.

    8/10 is entirely a realistic review and justified by ZOS continued support of what the majority of their players are asking for.. Elder scrolls online. Not Elder scrolls trial playing online.. not Elder scrolls pvp online.. Just Elder scrolls online. As long as they feed that base they will continue to do well.

    ESO Morrowind was the best of three chapters.

    Orsinium is better than any chapter.

    Orsinium was by far the best dlc. Morrowind is probably the best chapter but that makes me sad cuz it's also pretty mediocre overall.

    Is the rating based on just this chapter, or is it a rating that encompasses the entirety of the game? If we're bringing our previous biases of ESO into the rating process then that is going to skew the results. If we're just talking about the chapter itself (Zone, Necro class, Sunspire, Dragons, etc...) then I'd still stand with my 8/10. But if I'm going to bring my criticism of Cyrodiil and server performance into the rating process, well then yeah that is completely different.

    The content of ESO is really good, the a 8/10 is correct rating for that. It's the technical incapability of the company that plague the game.
