State of the Game, August 2022, Pros/Cons

Pros:
Graphics, enhanced with Nvidia freestyle colors
Sound effects, both combat and environmental are immersive
Feels like an immersive world
Solo Quests
Non-vet dungeons
Story
Ease of leveling
Player housing
Cons:
Graphics, default graphics are bland colors, a huge turn-off to many MMO players
Fix: Offer players color options similar to that of BDO, default, vibrant, etc.
Traders/Auction House: This is the most hated part of ESO for me and many others. Bots and elite guilds control trade. Selling is limited to those options.
Fix: Implement a Guild Wars 2 type of central Auction House, min/max is set by ESO.
Animation Canceling: Seriously fix this, it's not a feature, it's an overlooked exploit that allows people to have double or triple the DPS of those who cannot do it.

We have people killing people in PvP in less than 3 seconds.
3x DPS using animation canceling means people can farm mats at Vet levels far easier than casuals.0 -
bathynomusESO✭✭✭Fix code in the dungeons... 10 years later and we still have issues that you cannot progress in a dungeon without reloading the UI.
Fix Heavy/Light Attacks from stopping?!?!1 -

✭✭Im not sure how animation canceling helps with farming mats in most cases. In overland animation canceling of any kind inst helpful, at all. Everything dies quickly anyway.
I doubt most people truly want animation canceling gone. Some probably dislike weaving light attacks, but animation canceling is more than that. If you really wanted to play a game without it, try Elden Ring. It has very little and part of the reason some of the fights can be so punishing. Its a great game, I have nothing bad to say about it, but thats what a game without animation canceling looks like.
Imagine for a second being is vSCP and the tank is heavy attacking for resources at the moment Zaan beams a team member. Instead of canceling that animation and blocking theyre stuck until the animation finishes. Most likely the team mate will die. Its not 100%, but more often than not inexperienced groups would die because of it.
It would put even more emphasis on rote memorization than already exists instead of a more reactionary flow of combat. It would make the transition from normal to vet and vet to vet hard more harder if it were removed.
