Your #1 Regret in ESO

jerrodbuffington

My latest regret is that I paid for a year of eso plus.. then we had the patch with this horrible strong DOT meta. And now instead of makin small adjustments they are using the sledge hammer of change to slam DPS back to before summerset levels and the grps I'm in are already struggling. And more people are leaving which makes it even harder to find grps..

Im over eso but I got around 7 months left of plus.

My biggest regret is still playing and paying for eso+ with such terrible game changes and a developer team which is totally lost. There is no alternative on Xbox, however I'll be the first to shift once there is.

Any idea what you’ll play next?

Is it a kind of illness or something? I can understand why people play ESO. But having a regret of paying for ESO+ is just... Let's say it's not really healthy. You pay for something you regret, but you continue to pay? Huh? It is how consumerism looks like?

Please, don't take it way too personal: these things look wild for me. I had ESO+ before, several months only. But now I have no willing to pay for. Ever some Crown Store things are broken, what are we talkin' about? So I just collect gems from stream crates (500 gems so far) to but fancy thing I like (skip all gems sinks like mounts for 400gems).

And don't tell me it is impossible to play without crafting bag. I play with no problems. Simply don't collect all trash from outside to home and you'll be fine. Have over 4mil of gold with simple playing and without grinding. Just selling all stuff I don't need, like recipes and motifs. Feel good and can afford to buy some Crown Store things.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing the game. And eso+ just gives a better gaming experience for the price of just two beers at my local pub. I just wish there was a better option on xbox.

Getting hooked to eso pvp and see it only get worse is probably the biggest regret that I have

Playing on console. My friends who got me into this game started on console and it was fun for a while, but after good player after good player left to play on PC, i'm stuck here doing nothing but logging on to farm vAS+2 for polymorphs with a group I sub for for ~2 hours and then logging off. I bought the game on PC recently but even with the better graphics, framerate, and community, I just can't bring myself to level and gear 11 characters again, much less farm vMA and find a group to get another vAS+2 complete.

Learning outfit pages from bg (fanged worm/horned dragon) instead of waiting to have all 64 within inventory, to bypass the absurd drop system -.-' that's my only regret in eso

Buying a merchant instead of a banker when crowns were on sale and finding out it cant repair.. oof

Letting Zenimax get to me and be an arse sometimes on the forum.

Considering how much of my free time I spend working towards goals that I end up no closer to at the end of the night because all meaningful rewards are RNG-based, I might argue that ever having started playing the game was my biggest regret.

However, I put in that much time because of all the amazing things about this game that have me hooked, so I guess my biggest regret was in ever letting myself care about things like motifs and other grindy things.

This was a more entertaining thread than I thought it would be.

This is what I planned to say before I read through it, which is still true and a large regret of mine:

Not prioritizing the current Trial content when it was "hot" or in that period between progression guilds first trying it and guilds having the Trial on farm. I like to play at my own pace, and I only play on weekends, and I can't commit to a full progression guild because of my work schedule. I tend to be an alternate in known guilds. With end game as it is today it is very difficult to get included in runs without the achievement clears. If only I had run vHOF, vAS, and even vCR when ** everyone ** was doing it. Then maybe I could join those semi-pug trial groups. But no. I played based on my mood, choosing to waste time in dungeons, farming, questing, PvP... whatever struck my fancy. Now I'm a healer missing clears when it's a big challenge to string twelve people together. Le sigh.

After reading, though, I do also agree with this one:

Making some of my characters different factions because I did not know faction lock was coming.

getting addicted to eso pvp. it's honestly embarrassing that a large company like this has such bad servers, and one of the worst combat dev teams i have seen in an mmo if not the worst.

Missing the Summerset event. Grand Psijic Villa is so gorgeous, and I have no chance of ever owning it...

For not uninstalling the game sooner

I naively ignored the red flags of the game's decline for far too long. Now I just occasionally check the forums for patch notes and each time I do it makes me thankful that I uninstalled ESO when I did. But it still stings thinking about how long I put up with it when I should have heeded the red flags sooner.

I bought a praxis target dummy to test my damage and also for my friends have a place to go to also test their damage. When i finally got it made it felt good. Then he comes ZoS giving away a cooler dummy for free. Thus i feel like i wasted like 130k+ gold. Them be the brakes sometimes i guess....

My #1 Regret is to have joined Alliance War. In the few years that I'm playing it has been an utter disappointment.

Back in my days there was ball groups just trolling, but you could really enjoy decent battles. The only thing those groups just broke the game for me. Every day the same ***. Been playing for months and then I did PvE for a long time but it got a bit boring and very frustrating with pugs. Didn't want to join a trial guild because I didn't want to be forced to join content, I just wanted to occasionally have a difference.
So I decided to have a break. Been on LoL and other games, Witcher and Skyrim really had me deep in and then I saw eso in my steam library decided to give it another go.
Came back to Cyrodiil and there is just such a huge imbalance, fights lasts usually seconds and certain classes are just so much more superior then others atm. Then I encounter the dizzy swing insta kill and people that use macros with this. Ball groups are still rolling and I have stopped playing alliance war completely after seeing that every *** night 30 people from red or blues come to take the entire map against 3 defenders. Just not fun at all.

Alliance war. Worst experience of my eso career. Got a good guild now primarily for socializing which is what I'm going to stick with atm.

I regret, that I've played Dark Brotherhood DLC on my main character.

He is not an evil person at all, and definitely not a psycho you're forced to play in the DLC. Because of that, I came up with a wild story, where Demian Floquet, being a man of arcane arts, during one of his experiments with Oblivion matter summoned a powerful lesser daedra and lost a grip over it. Somehow the daedra was able to take control of the Demian's body. And after that all this dirty DB story took place. Demian was able to feel and saw all those dreadful deeds his body was forced to do. After some time, Demian found a way to break the will of the daedra and set his body free, but he was so ashamed of the situation, that he decided to change a name. Now he is known as Dimitri Frernis.
