    I enjoy it overall, or I wouldn’t have put in around 6 years. There are issues, but it’s still fun.

    Try some prime time PvP and come back with your assessment please.

    That's why I avoid pvp, well that and the fact that most ppl I run in to in pvp are rude and egotistical.

    If you're into combat at all, check back in after U24 slaps you upside the head. :/

    I feel its borderline good, definitely not great. It does not stand on the shoulders of other great MMO's. I think eso is for the most part, easily forgettable due to the games design revolving around the crown store. In fact I quit the game after about 6 months, I came back for the housing only to be quickly reminded that housing is extremely superficial in this game. No farming, very little to interact with, no real need to even have it

    If ESO was 15 bucks a month, allowed players to play the game to get mounts, outfits, be able to craft mounts outfits. If the auction system favored the player base, not the crown store, if the combat was on a level playing field (remove animation cancelling), if the combat was more predictable and spells felt like they actually landed, if the housing simply did more...had a real reason to exist in game, if the water had depth and you could submerge, if characters were more unique (not all having a human body), if more time/money was spent on bugs, if the netcode and network were better, if I felt like there was more coming to the game than just ways to funnel the player to the crown store, then it would be a better game.

    But, for me as It stands...its easily forgettable.

    And I don't say this to be a hater, its just being honest.

    I can recall times in WOW, SWTOR, Warhammer where fun, unique things happened. I can't say anything in this game has done the same for me. I think the most memorable thing for me is how dragons (if they are focused on you) swing their neck around to follow you, and even that I think was taken from Skyrim.

    I am whatever the people need me to be. A guardian. An oppressor. For some, too distant. For others, too meddlesome. I am the canvas upon which they paint their dreams and resentments. A vessel for their hopes and doubts.
    A mirror. Nothing more.

    I have my open beta => today feedback too:

    Create Classic ESO, that is a version of the game "frozen" right before Morrowind patch.

    That's when ESO was not just "good". It was "fun".

    It is only the best MMO currently available, which does not necessarily make it good... Some aspects of it are good, some not very and some just stink.

    But yes, even being far from perfect it can be still great fun. Better enjoy it as long as the fun lasts.

    ESO is really, really good at art, characterization, story, etc. (If you think the story(ies) are insipid or whatever, you'd probably think that about any game, which is a reasonable viewpoint.)

    At combat, endgame challenges, etc. it is arguably adequate.

    Was thinking the same thing. Fun it is not anymore.

    It would be a great game if they had a decent combat team who knew what they were doing and stopped implementing terrible gameplay changes. Aside from that and some performance issues the game is pretty decent.

    I have 16 characters to to tier two in the thirty day campaign and a few of those players are tier three. I play mostly in prime time and maybe 60% of that in a large group. I had two nights where I got three or four loading screens while playing and had a few nights in huge fights where switching bars was delayed. For the most part though play was fairly smooth.

    I have a love/hate relationship with ESO. I feel like there are quality of life tweaks that could improve a few things, but I know they'll never happen.

    I do honestly feel if ESO wasn't as visually beautiful it wouldn't be as worth the time investment. I think combat and housing could be better, but there are things I like and miss if i switch to other games such as the variety of armour/costumes. The character creation is great, there are some good PvE stories in quests. There's a bunch of things I like, yet I still manage to become a) annoyed and/or b) bored with ESO.
    My record with ESO is I play for approximately three months then need to move to another game.
