Just curious, I logged in on patch day, saw how horrible it was, and kinda gave up. Now I just come to check the forums and see that nothing has changed...anyone else in the same boat?

    There should be a poll option for "it hasn't changed", and another that "it has increased", to be fair.

    Mine has stayed the same, except that I have played in Cyrodiil less and likely won't go back until it is fixed.

    I mostly PvP. With the crashing it's almost not even an option. And it only takes 10 min/day in Mirkmire to do everything that can be done for the event.

    I have drastically reduced my playtime.
    At first I stuck with BGs but then yesterday I crashed twice while doing BGs on top of all the crashing in Cyrodiil before that so I have just decided to get my daily tickets and log out until this mess is over.

    I have drastically reduced my playtime.
    Not really related to the patch itself though, cause there were no bad changes for my playstyles.

    I've quickly completed all possible quests on my main character before the Harrowstorm. Because since the start of this PTS, on my system I hear awful reduction of NPC voice quality (which transferred from this PTS to Live with Harrowstorm patch). Other players didn't seem to notice it, and I'm a bit lazy to submit support ticket about it for now :/ Low quality "hissing" dialogues are pain to listen to, and I hope it will be fixed before the chapter release - or I won't be able to fully enjoy questing :'(
    For now I casually explore, do some battlegrounds, gather skyshards on some alts - simply because I've run out of quests on my main character :D

    And where is the "I'm enjoying my time in ESO, never been a better experience" kind of answer?

    Outside of pvp it is not a bad experience - there is a world outside of pvp in ESO.

    I have drastically reduced my playtime.
    First off let me say I heavily dislike having to change my build around every couple of months.

    Second, dlc’s that are just 2 dungeons do nothing for me at all.

    I only do dungeons if I need the gear and I do it begrudgingly.


    Instead of 2 dungeons zone 2 more dungeons.

    Why can’t we have 2 dungeons zone pvp love (new bg maps or modes, actual game performance improvements especially in cyro

    Maybe a new weapon line.


    Something besides go grind some more to be competitive. Oh you golded out that gear? Ok it’s been 2 months time to change it.

    I've actually increased my play time. I cancelled my sub in December, remain unsubbed, and had only logged in for the events for the past two months. Since Monday I have run the new dungeons several times. Where's the option in your poll for that? Not even an "other"? You really need to be told that a poll where you can only choose from one of two similarly negative answers is pointless?

    I haven't been playing much lately but it's absolutely nothing to do with the patch, or ESO in general. Just other things taking up my time. I'm actually looking forward to this weekend partially because I'll finally have more time to play.

    Main reason for me really is the constant lack of communication, lack of feedback acknowledgement and me being sick of the changes and direction of the combat.

    I wasn't playing a huge amount before the patch (mostly just events).

    Which is likely why I haven't bothered doing the Big Download yet.

    So is going from "not much" to "none" a drastic reduction?

    Drastically. The crashes in PvP are absolutely unacceptable. These kinds of things should be caught in testing. And they should not be putting stuff untested into the patch that was not in the pts.

    Yes, I have completely stopped playing.
    i stopped playing around Elsyre because the game was starting to;
    A: go down the path of skyrim dragons story focus.
    B: balance would never shift, like, ever.
    C: some classes were straight up either useless or far superior compared to others.
    D : sorry the server lag in blobland Cyrodiil stopped my list to early

    i could bet that if i jumped back ingame now on my magSorcerer and my gear will still be one of the higher performing sets, my build will still be pretty much the same and my rotations will not have changed like wise i know that my stamblade will still be crappy compaired to my magsorc in PvE because nothing will have changed.
