The only thing WRONG with eso is its poor performance if it played better then it has been id still be putting 16hr+ into it per day but since its not im putting my time into other games none i can stand to play the full 16hrs into like i could eso but i guess this just gives me choices of different games each day but once eso is back to running right ill be back

If you can put 16h a day in a game, you could take a 2nd full time job

Can you actually get burnout from the Crown Store? Most items in there are only cosmetic.

I believe you can if you are spending real money and want something out of it that actually worth spending money on. Unfortunately, the RNG in the crown store is so bad that most don't even feel like supporting the game by spending real cash. We are all aware of this but gambling is just that, gambling. There is no reward for spending your money and instead, you are provided with the garbage that you can't even place into your bank for a rainy day.

I even feel sorry for paying subscription for 2.5 years into this game, considering the state of the servers and the half arsed changes they do lately. No way I would spend a dime more than that.

but yeah, sooner or later, every mmo has its expiration date...maybe this is late cycle for eso...who knows... i am also more in the mood for more great single player games or a brand new mmo to be honest... and i find myself using the forum way more than i care to actually log into the game anymore...

Try the outer worlds, really like it, good game, kept expecting it to crash and lag etc, then I remembered it's a single player, not touched by ZOS.

And the events add an air of being another, unpaid, job when the goal of the whole endeavor is for players to take a break from their real lives and jobs. Useless, unsellable, unrecycleable items as "gifts" from ZeniMax...way overpriced items from the Crown Store, including those requiring the utterly redundant "Crown Gems" and content on ESO Plus which should be standard in the vanilla edition. Nope. Just cant do it any more.

I have reached this point multiple times since the game launched, and have taken multiple breaks. The difference between us, however, is that I've never felt the need to let every one know...

well, until now

I heard it was a linear design. Is that true? Or is it an "open linear" like a zone to zone progression setup. I've been thinking about picking it up.

It has smaller open zones, but it's obsidian company, it's fun, like earlier Fallouts, I paid Xbox beta thingy a pound so I didn't have to buy it, try it.

I will eventually. It's on my radar. I've liked Obsidian's games for a while.

Been playing since launch, have yet to take a break. It is one of two games I play. I have a positive outlook. Have fun! If you’re not having fun then you’re playing for the wrong reasons. I do end level content, I’ve solo all Base level vet 1 dungeons and a few dlc vet dungeons. Working my to most of the Vet2 dungones.

I play mostly PvP tho. I have 18 toons, all 1200+Cp. Any nerf that happens I use it as a reason to get gud. This is how I keep it fresh. When new content comes out I do all of it. I enjoy the game. Yes there are bugs, no it doesn’t run perfectly, I mostly feel for the EU server because I don’t experience what they experience. The most that happens to me is keep flip load screens. I rarely disconnect in super big battles.

You’re burnt out and need to log into real life. The game will always be here.

But ZoS need to fix their game so everyone can enjoy it.

Speaking for myself - I put in my share of 16 hour days working on projects before I retired.

Tell it to someone else who might care, I don't have to anymore...

Why do people act like burnout isn't normal or natural?

Take a break and stop acting like this is some profound event. It's just a game and it will still be here when you're ready to play again.

He's also stating reasons why he's not satisfied with the game probably secretly hoping these things get fixed...

So are you!

I don't normally read game or franchise related books, but one of my favorite authors Greg Keyes wrote two Elder Scrolls books and they were both very good...worth checking out :-)

The Infernal City and Lord of Bones, excellent reads.

I also highly recommend anything by Joe Abercrombie if you like gritty low fantasy...I could recommend sci-fi for pages and pages.

I’ve been playing for over 4 years and have taken several breaks to play different games. Take a break and if you still feel the same way, just stay away. Your sanity will thank you. No game is worth obsessing over.

Plenty of in game books to read. Even reading these forums is part of the fun that ESO gives.

Try something different, or look for the spark that brought you into this world in the first place and reinvigorate it.

Just one year is not enough. Dive deeper.

Can I have your stuff, I like to play to AFK

This is just so much nonsense.

If you dont want to log in, dont. If you dont want to take part in (often fun and rewarding) events, dont. If you dont want to pay money on anything ESO related, dont. If you are not enjoying playing the best MMO on the market, dont play it.

In only 1 year it seems to me there will be vast amount of content and ESO experiences that you will be no where near completing or having undertaken. If you are in a rut, break out of it, do something different, try different ESO content etc, try a different game.
