So, me and my wife were questing the other night and a kitty stepped on her power button and shut her computer down so she had to re log in. And when she tried to log in, she got put in a queue to log in. Granted it only took a few minutes, but that is the first time I have ever seen a log in queue. and it seems not matter where we go questing, there are dozens of other people there questing too. It just seems so much more crowded lately.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    During free ESO plus week, there's a lot more people in the DLC areas. Also a lot of people who don't sub ESO+ are out there farming mats near 24/7 to fill their crafting bags.

    Queue was left recently to stay, it shows but didn't affect login. As for if more people are playing and steam is the only mesure for me at the summer 25k - 35k In-Game was normal no matter in which hour i log in, and septembre it dropped to something like 20k in weekends and barely 15k in work days. Now with eso+ free week at the moment it shows almost 20k.

    I started playing again this week... Never dropped my plus account so i logged in with 25k crowns 😮. Started the new zone and im digging it... Jumped back into my rotation ok but nerfs and changes im probably not hitting my potential. Gonna have to look into that.

    Sorry, off topic, but the number of times my guildies have heard me say, “cat! get away from the XBox” then vanis from the party is, well, I just really wish my XBox had a power button you actually had to push down instead of simply touching it. They sure do love claiming the XBox, and their little noses are quite good at turning the stupid thing off. :D

    Dragon hunting has been particularly quick lately! There are even two groups sometimes, so if you try to travel to the other dragon, its usually already half dead or.... dead dead.

    From my personal feelings its exactly the opposite to be honest, but that is probably because the game is concentrating way more on attracting new casual players than keeping its long time high level players.

    So at the moment my friends list is seeing less and less players online at a time and i have several people on my friends list and in my guilds who used to play daily who at this point have not been online for several months.

    Really sad to see a game care this little about the players who spend the most time on it.

    Look into Light Dims. They are designed to block lights on electronics (I use them on everything in my bedroom) and there is one that is the perfect size for the XBox power button and seems to be thick enough to stop the cats turning it off by bumping it. My cats love ESO (lots of moving flashing things) so they tend to be near the console.

    My cats only love eso when I play one of my 'jiit characters. They will sit in front of the TV for hours. If I swap characters, they leave.

    Yes! Also a lot more DPS taunting with frost staff and S&B tanks queueing up as DPS (this happens!) and taunting...

    gotta agree. Only die 4 times in a dragon fight now. Used to be 7.

    I'm so jelly I can make a PB&J. I've lost count of how many dragons I've taken down but still no lead.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely check it out. I swear one of them does it on purpose, because she’s a spiteful brat.
