I don't get why people say that es6 will be the death of eso

i don't know about you but a big reason I play this game is because of the MMO aspect of it... a single player game can't replace the experience of an MMO even if it's the same series. I enjoy playing with my bf and my friends PLUS it's my favourite franchise (elder scrolls). It's these two things combined that make me want to log on. elder scrolls 6 will have a lot of hype but it won't kill the whole audience because some people don't like single player games (I do, and I will play es6, but that doesn't mean INSTEAD of eso.)

Now please fix your servers so I can actually play..

If anything will be the death of ESO it's the performance issues

    This is SO true, as has been the case for most of the studios 25 year life...

    People can say anything...

    I can also say I'm not optimistic about ES6, Bethesda has shown it hasn't been able to deliver a working game or promised features at launch lately, and ES6 killing ESO is a stretch by their current track record.

    There will be no single-player ES6 obviously. Not a chance. Best you can hope is MMORPG ES6 on Fallout 4 engine.

    never heard people say it. You are first.
    Also, TES 6 has own rails. Single player, future story (ESO is past story) game.

    If anything will be the death of ESO it's the performance issues

    I think what people are simply saying is that BECAUSE of those very performance issues you mention (and various long-standing bugs. and persistent nerfaggedon), once that avenue to a new TES experience is open, a lot of folks are possibly gonna drop ESO like it's old 'n' busted in favor of the new hotness TES6.

    And I think for many of those folks who are going to migrate away from this game, the MMO vs single-player paradigm is actually lower priority than it just being new TES.

    I think the magnitude of that exodus will depend on how well TES6 is crafted. Word-of-mouth will spread fast.

    True

    I've seen it a lot of speculation on these forums that people will stop playing ESO once ES6 comes out because it'll take all of the elder scrolls fanboys away from this game..

    some comments were a while ago but I didn't just imagine this out of nowhere xD

    Judging by the fact that Bethesda caused the death of Fallout with Fallout 76, it would be better to assume that The Elder Scrolls 6 will be the death of The Elder Scrolls (the single player franchise).

    ESO will probably not be affected by it because ESO is not really part of the franchise.

    TES6 will only give us a part of Tamriel. ESO gives it ALL. ESO will only benefit after TES6 will appear. New players fascinated with the lore will want to see Tamriel of the Second Era and learn the secrets of the past. Play one TES game, and you'll want to play anything related to TES world.

    If ES6 takes away players from ESO, maybe we can get harder overland content when the skyrim 2 players are gone.

    I prefer single player games and consider the fact that ESO is multiplayer to be a drawback. That said, I play it mostly as a single player game and am likely to continue to do so. After 4k hours in Oblivion and 4k hours in Skyrim, those games simply feel too small. After 6.5k hours in ESO it does not feel small at all. If TES6 can match the mass and scale of ESO I might be interested.

    Here's my find, related to ESO support: In a talk in the framework of PAX Australia (via GameSpot), the creative director, Rich Lambert, mentioned that the company’s plans are to continue giving content to The Elder Scrolls Online in 2020 and even beyond. https://segmentnext.com/2019/10/14/zenimax-will-support-the-elder-scrolls-online-for-many-more-years/

    The even beyond thing scares me, to be frank. Definitely in 2020 there will be a new Chapter, but beyond...

    U know that they announcement tes6?

    I remember a 10-second length teaser and Todd saying that before ES6 there will be Starfield. Since Starfield is only at development stage, you may estimate that ES6 is still in pre-production or whatever. There will be many years before ES6 is ready... if it will be ready at all.

    I dont know what can be scary in word "beyond". Also they've already said they're working on stuff for the next year and year after.

    why does it scare you? to me that reads like they've definitely got plans for future content beyond 2020 otherwise they wouldn't say it. or do you mean because it's kinda vague?

    Pretty much this. I don't play ESO because it is multiplayer, but because it has the largest world since Daggerfall. If ES6 has a map size of say, the Witcher 3, then yea I'd stop playing ESO. It's graphics are also starting to look dated now as well, even with Reshades etc.

    At least with ES6 we may get proper Necromancy as well..... :|

    Half arsed design/balance decisions and bad infrastructure will be the death of ESO for sure, if they continue with it. Single player games, not so much, since they offer a different experience and often target different players. That's of course if they don't make TES6 a multiplayer game, like FO76.
