Feedback Survey

LesserCircle

Hey everyone, many people have received an email by ZOS to fill a feedback survey and I think everyone should do it so we can give an accurate answer as to what we want from the game.

If you didn't receive the email here is the link: https://feedback.bethesda.net/jfe/form/SV_3gWJMjTZdbpVBD8

Please do try to give real answers and be respectful if you choose to use some of the answers where you are allowed to type.

SammyKhajit

Thank you OP. This one just filled out the survey.

TaSheen

Thanks for the link. Didn't get the email so this is appreciated.

Drammanoth

Thank you OP.

I do wonder though, how impactful will the survey be... I mean, over the years there has been much, and I mean MUCH feedback given to ZOS.

...with visible results, obviously.

WiseSky

This is our change for feedback !

Agenericname

Done. Thank you.

BloodyStigmata

I filled it out.

ZOS if you're reading, I'll accept the Atmoran Bantam Guar for filling out this one if you're not going to send me one in my email ever.

Yes? Maybe? No? Okay

Natakiro

Nice, I didn't get the email, just filled it out. Thanks for posting this.

"Do you find items sets hard to obtain?"

There is a difference between challenging and tedious.

Noerra

Thanks for this! Was waiting for this to arrive by e-mail but it never did.

I just filled it out! Hope this can lead to some good changes!

I feel that some of the questions could use better wording. As the post above me:

Exactly... Challenge is good! But what is the point of running a dungeon on normal over and over and over and over just trying to fill the sticker book? That isn't fun. It would be better if you got a tokens to exchange for the gear slot you want... or exchange for transmute stones if you have the entire stickerbook from that dungeon done or something.

Also - Overland content is important to me... but I hope they don't misunderstand WHY it is important. It is important to me when it is CHALLENGING. I literally have fallen asleep trying to do the main story/chapter quests multiple times and just gave up. Everything dies so easy. It's so unepic when you finally get to the last boss and I can basically just 2 shot it.... Wow.... the BBEG wasn't much of a threat after all... geez wow.... glad I spent all these hours reading dialogue, exploring, and questing; only for the boss battle to die to my sneeze.

Paulytnz

Well, I hope you all put "not important" for the Crown Store option like I did lol.....

They don't listen to anything on the pts forums that's why we get op set that get nerfed of course that's probably bait and switch tactics. I did fill out the survey. Can't imagine it will change anything.

Overland content is very important to me as well - exactly as it is now. Because even exactly as it is now, I have a certain amount of difficulty with it. I'm old, my reflexes suck, my internet isn't anywhere close to optimal -and combat in this game is very hard for me. I love questing. But finishing off the Magus in High Isle took me 6 deaths - and a lot of luck. On a warden - where the bear doesn't hold aggro like my hunter pets in WoW, and where Emeric hits like a wet noodle...

So I'd like to just request that those who need challenge please ask for optional increases using sliders or whatever. Because if you all get your challenge level, I'll have to quit playing a game I love.

SammyKhajit

@ZOS_Kevin can you please advise if these survey results will be summarised and addressed by ZOS? Thank you!

SilverBride

Thank you for the link.

Snamyap

There is an oubliette, I mean, stickythread for the difficulty discussion at the top of these forums.

Tyrobag

Ooh! A new way to yell into the void, what fun!

Tornaad

Thank you for that.
It seems that they are trying to measure how much people value getting new armor as a reward.

Indigogo

Thank you. I got a chuckle from the shocked pikachu question when I didn't rate item sets as being a motivating reward lol.

Worse, I am down to needing just the sword dancer dagger from Blessed Crucible -- I want to try it and the guy dual wields a dagger and sword, hence the ones I am aiming at, and instead, I got 4 Sabatons of Nikulas .. 4 identical ones, even to the traits, my stepmother and fiance both ran with me, and between us, we ended up with 9 total Sabatons of Nikulas, and 4 other random pieces from the Noble Duelist ... but not a single Sword Dancer item ... second run, 5 more Sabatons, and 4 epulets for Nikulas and Noble Duelist ... third run, 3 Swords of the Dancer and 5 of the helmets for it, and a Sabaton of Nikulas (seriously, how many pairs of shoes did this guy have??????)

So far, we have done 8 runs, since that became the last piece I needed, and between the 3 of us, looting EVERY chest and monster, and we haven't found it, yet.

Same lol, but they're not rewards at all, it's an expected item on any kind of game.

I did the survey (received the link via email), even though I always find these types of surveys frustrating. This one was no exception. Since I said sets aren't important to me, I got the follow up question. As one of my answers, I chose that I don't enjoy doing the content where set pieces drop. I meant dungeons and such, not overland. But, of course, there aren't separate answers for the different types of content. And, of course, they never ask what you really want them to ask.

(Hopefully they're asking about sets because they plan to drastically reduce how many are available in the game.)

I found that option amusing for exactly that reason. I assume that answer was intended to mean specifically group dungeons and trials, but taken literally "I don't enjoy doing content which drops set pieces" would mean everything in the overland, PvP (including battlegrounds and IC), crafting, dungeons, trials, arenas and daily quests.

At that point I think it would be valid to ask what someone does like and why they're playing ESO at all.

WiseSky

I bet I am only one that put Treasure Maps as #1 of importance

I tried the link but it says the surveys no longer active LOL is it just me?

I got the email a few days ago but was busy and now it says it isn't active.

ZoS, are you serious? You didn't even leave the survey up for, what, a week? What kind of data collection is this? This is not acceptable.

reddog1948

As an older individual (74) and have been playing ESO since it went live. The game and mechanics seem to be moving toward younger players with faster response times. While I fully understand the need to rebalance both NPC's and player's abilities, I am finding it impossible to do things like trials. Many of the new dungeons and WBs without a significant number of other players are totally unplayable for me.
While I recognize that I am on the fringe today, all players are getting older (and slower) -- the 3 difficulty levels probably cover most individuals, but I find that more and more content I am not able to complete solo or even with 1 or 2 additional players.
Companions have helped - in fact with low difficulty NPC's overpowering. Maybe if they could be made more powerful just in the more difficult dungeons and WB quests that would help and be less powerful with that normal NPC (below 50K might be a good lower break point and over 1 Million health more powerful.)
The last is the supposedly random loot drops. I have noticed a trend, when I get a motif, it is most likely one I have looted before. Changing toons (i.e. going from light to heavy armor) changes the loot drop pattern. But being effective (especially with shaking hands -- Essential Tremor - which is quite common in older individuals) is near to impossible. Flaying at the keys and trying to switch bars quickly becomes a session of frustration on any alternate toons. Quite often my toon is dead before I even recognize that he is about to be one-shoted.
Overall the game is still engaging, but lately, IMHO the zone entry quest lines are much too long.
Also, please remember, just adding health to a boss to make him more difficult does not necessarily add to the content. In fact, I think the game has reached the point where more potential tasks have reached the point of diminishing returns.
Having more stable releases rather than more quarterly content would help.
As would armor that really made a difference rather than just trying to be cute on switching the effects around. Besides the developers, I doubt that more than a handful of players really have a grasp on all of the various combinations - most of which to me at least, seems doubtful as to doing anything more meaningful in either surviving or DPS output.

ghost_bg_ESO

I did receive e-mail. At survey itself didn't chose anything as important and at the end still got set question. Which makes me to believe survey was to prove to higher ups that something is right to be done or not. Didn't felt like someone is actually interested in my opinion for the game itself, especially with recent updates...

Maybe everyone wasn't meant to fill this out? Maybe that is why it was taken down?
