DemonicGoat✭✭✭✭✭Genius move by Nefas to name the video after the end of year Dev. talk.
Itll be interesting to compare the official State of ESO from ZOS' point of view with any of the other "State of ESO" assessments made by Nefas,Deltia,ETC.

✭✭✭There really is no excuse, yet ZOS still has not learned how to effectively communicate with the playerbase. How their poor communication persists after years baffles me. @ZOS_MattFiror @ZOS_RichLambert are you proud of your company's communication? Does the quality of the service and product you provide meet the expectations you would have as a customer? @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom why does the poor communication continue after so many years?ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »Hi everyone. First of all, you aren't wrong. We agree we haven't been communicating as much as we should on this matter (among others) and for that, we apologize.

Auroan✭✭✭Well according to another thread that was taken down for some reason, you probably won't hear anything QA related for a bit considering 300 QA's for ZOS are preparing to Unionize. Makes you wonder why?

Of course a quick Google search can provide various articles as well. This post will likely get deleted, haha.
Also wanna note that there's two different QA's, but this could still have an impact on when you're expecting Questions and Answers on the Quality Assurance of the game, since there's basically none, hahaEdited by Auroan on December 6, 2022 5:31AM"And the Scrolls have foretold, of black wings in the cold,That when brothers wage war come unfurled!Alduin, Bane of Kings, ancient shadow unbound,With a hunger to swallow the world!"60k Achievement Point Club15 -

Good on them! And also good on Microsoft that they’re staying neutral. I mean, I’m annoyed by the amount of bugs we have in this game and how long it takes to solve them but if one of the root causes for that is QA teams being overworked and underpaid I’m much more willing to look past that. Decent working conditions before anything else.12 -

Just wanted to note, this is not about QA at ZOS specifically, but ZeniMax as a whole. I haven't found any info that tells us how many of ZOS' QA are a part of this.Alandrol Sul: He's making another Numidium?!?

Yes, the focus was on performance. Which is interesting, because there's not been a word about performance improvements in the four updates since.
I wonder why that is?
They just needed some database space for more sets and motifs (jk)
They actually did say that they needed to remove our achievements to "make room for the card game and other systems."
I hadn't read this, or I'd managed to blank it out, but this makes the card game feature even worse in my book. My characters lost their own achievements for that?!
AWA is bad, but it's at its worst when you need a skill point and have to trawl zone maps individually instead of just skimming down their achievements to find a zone they're missing skyshards in.11 -

I'm sure they've already been discussing the official reason to close this one...perhaps they'll add "uncomfortable topics for ZOS" to the list of rules?24 -

Wait, this can't be true, right?
Did they really badly implement AwA to make space for ToT and other systems?
This must be a joke, right?2 -
