I am done with ZOS/Bethesda

ThaneSolus

I bought this game. In 2014, and left a few weeks later due to loading screen and other issues.

Returned one month ago, played up to CP 140. Loved the environments, music, crafting was decent to a point (CP ewww), story ok (no custcenes and abrupt endings on some main quests why?), and then slowly it got to me: The fracking loading times even with medium SSD. I never played a mmo where the loading time was more then 5 seconds (usually 3), beside loading once at start, maybe EVE or others. No, i wont buy an M2, for a fracking engine that was made before 2014.

Its unplayable: 30+ secs to loading character, 10-15 loading a zone, 10 sec loading a house that has 4 square meters, from a engine created before 2014, this should loading at 3 sec at the most. How bloated is your code? how fracked up is your networking as well? After 6 years minor improvements, and due to DLC bloat, actually some things got worse.

Then we get ESO crown store and subs, EVEN Fracking EA gave you the options to unlock features with currency or "crowns", and not pay subscription (swtor, besides maybe dlcs). ESO bag should be a unlockable payed feature or free, but milky, milky cow goes mu ey?. Mounts are only event, daily rewards, and loot boxes of course, beside the 4-5 mounts normal ingame. Tons of content cuted from the game, basic stuff so it can be sold through the store, WHILE PAYING FOR SUB, WHILE PAYING FOR DLC, WHILE ALSO PAYING FOR THE GAME AT FIRST.

So much greet and incompetence i ve never seen so far from a big gaming corp, you make EA look good, after checking a bit SWTOR (unlocks, paying options, etc, not my type of game, but a decent mmo).

I want to thank to those (probably left the company already), that made the good things with this game, environments/maps, some of the quests and characters, music absolutely fantastic. Due to their skills and work, i ignored for a little while the greed and incompetence of this company (leads, producers, suits and pr/milking-economy designers/marketing), that now tries to cash grab as much is possible, until they destroy the game completely.

Its sad, that this could've been quite a game, with a decent and capable leads and producers, but most of the good ones, left or retired (guessing). After F4 and F76, i dont think you guys can produce a decent game anymore, non buggy, non milky, non broken product, made as a quick cashgrab.

So when is the 10th Skyrim edition coming ey, for some moar money?

Thanks!

Wait, you’re complaining about a few seconds... First World Problems

And the Crown Store is completely optional, you don’t need anything in there.

EDIT: Actually most of your points are optional, and more want-based rather than need.

The Greet people......THE GREET!!!

Cya, I did not read what you posted (and neither will Zos) since you are clearly not very experienced in this game.

Enjoy whatever you do.

Even with all the changes, I do not like ESO is still the best major MMORPG out there. It really seems OP has not invested the time in the game to get to know people and the game itself. The complaint seems very petty and has nothing to do with how the game is played.

Wait.... you’ve only played about six weeks according to your post..... 🤔

You should probably go.

With the amount they play I bet your stuff is better (yes I'm a horrible person don't judge me god dam it)

I don't agree with everything you're saying, and I'm not keen on your delivery, but I have sympathy with much of your post.

As Chaos said. they have not played the game enough to get anything let alone understand how to play it. Heck, their absence will not be missed since they were almost never here.

This is the biggest joke of what they said. SWTOR itself is a shell of its former self. Their recent "expansion" story line can be completed in a couple of hours and has no side quests.

ESO has released more end game raids per year than SWTOR has and the game has only 5 servers left (less than 10% of what they started with and they are far from the mega-server design. SWTOR is a total joke in comparison.

SWTOR is not a bad game but in every manner, it pales in comparison to ESO. @ThaneSolus

To be fair, SWTOR has been struggling with the internal conflict of either giving content to Solo-Story players or Group players.

They tried to hybrid it in 6.0 with redeveloping some systems which obviously took more of their budget.

However, PvP/PvE in SWTOR is far far more enjoyable than ESO for me. And I can always seem to get a laugh out of Fleet Chat. And the soundtrack in the game is probably the best I’ve seen in MMOs.

I also find the Nightmare Mode Operations a bit harder considering the enraged timer and mechanics.
(See: Izax Master Mode)
It just has a specific taste that most MMOs can’t recreate for me.

Dont care about Swtor or pack man or donkey Kong.But they are playable .ESO IS NOT.So why stick up for them ,what are you there public relations team.For that matter as things are going they will need one.I Paid and want to play they game whether or not i am *** at it is not the issue but whether i should keep playing is for me to decide just like any other so maybe you should real your neck in and look at what is being released by eso and what is being fixed by eso and the problems that are being caused by the new content ALSO the PRICE existing eso peeps are expected to pay for this fantastic content that causes there already purchased game not " WORK.......
