Guys, we can turn this game around!
Listen guys and gals and all the other pronouns,
We can turn this game around
its going to take some realistic mind sets of where we're at in the state of TESO.
Right now there is a crappy amount of skills nerfed to the ground and sets nerfed to the ground that push players into a tiny box all while "play your way" is a marketing stand point
into which we can't exactly play our way for supposedly balance the majority of of users have to face.
We have servers that have been the issue. Then it was the way proc sets were calculated.
Gameplay loops shattered by the direction we're in .
Countless users desperate for a hero to return so they're leaving the game because it doesn't entertain them any more.
This is why I'm posting here instead of just in some pvp part of the forums because this includes us all.
Yet, the tiny 1% that still play is ruling our entire gameplay buying dlc and expansion just because its out and not for the content it provides.
Our culture manufactured and told where we must reside in our tiny box of three play styles tank, healer, and dps, where you must fit into this box and play this way.
All while the DWEMER, their genocide goes unnoticed.
How many of you would have played a dwarf if you could have given the opportunity and the choice of that type of character to be made?
Then there is the nerfing of gear and skills.
We need to be vocal on here about the constant nerfing of sets and skills.
Its an MMO!!
Why is this crap turning into a turn based game?
Its supposed to be reactive instantaneous of the situations that go on around the character but due to its turned based outcomes we are forced again into the box of finding the meta that works
because playing it anyone's way just doesn't work.
Its not enough to say yes any more, while the house around you is burning down.
We're losing members within our very communities while p2w becomes the economic model in a disastrous real world economy.
Its not enough you buy the expansion! You must buy DLC to dungeon! Its not Enough you buy the expansions and DLC, you must subscribe to have more bag space and a harvesting bag!
ALL OF WHICH BEFORE,
things were changed..
you may have forgotten you already had all this it was taken from you and placed behind a new pay wall.
Yes, you may not see it as such but I do. Our house of TESO and its dynamically different gameplay that you can't find anywhere else, is tragically being evaporated by the constant nerfing if sets and skills. All while p2w, is being pushed down our very throats, to of which some of you and I , were the original supporters of this game. PVP won't have any new updates even though you still have to buy the based game.
Its not enough to buy this expansion to play in the new area, you have to buy DLC to dungeon! Its not enough you have to buy DLC, you have to subscribe to have expanded inventory and a crafting bag!
Again all to which you have already purchased, now you're paying for it 3 times over!
How many more times do we sit here and except our burning house, till we look around and say its enough now!
Lets reel it in and begin a new. Lets be better and unnerf things we don't use, so we can in fact use them!
let's play the game differently than the 3 stereotypical play types we are forced to use.
Let's embrace this so called acceptance that you want for each one of use to have.
Let's give the player their fair share of what they pay for!
Why do we need to be gate kept 3 times so we can get a full experience of the game we already pay for?!
Its not for you to read that , will say these words are meaningless. This is for you, that have read all the way to the bottom that can change the entire outcome of your dreams and mine , vote with your wallets and not with your minds. When every one else says yes but we're losing too many people no more can we hide our heads saying we'll be alright.

Dear Community/Followers,
I want to address recent concerns regarding allegations of inappropriate direct messages and supposed cheating. First and foremost, I want to clarify that I do not admit to any wrongdoing. However, I understand that my actions may have been perceived in a way that caused concern.
As many of you know, I am a disabled veteran who served in Iraq, and I am permanently and totally mentally disabled. My PTSD, which was formally diagnosed in 2013 after being reclassified in the DSM-5, has affected me in ways that are difficult to fully explain. While this is not an excuse, it has, at times, clouded my judgment and impacted my behavior. This condition is something I have lived with for a long time, and it is a daily challenge.
As an influencer, streamer, and game reviewer with over 300 reviews, 800 followers on Twitch, and 1,600 followers on TikTok, I understand the responsibility that comes with my platform. Our role as influencers is to set a positive example, and I want to make it clear that I do not condone actions that go against the Terms of Service (TOS) or End User License Agreements (EULA) of any platform or community. Even though societal norms have evolved, and what was once deemed acceptable behavior in the past is no longer appropriate, I am committed to adapting and ensuring that my actions reflect the values we strive for today.
I want to go forward with a commitment to better representing the disabled members of our community. I recognize that I may never fully "fit in" or be "normal," but I am dedicated to improving and learning from these experiences. It is crucial that we have more flexibility and better support services for disabled veterans like myself, so we can remain active members of our communities without being unfairly limited by our disabilities. These services would help ensure that we can make better decisions and avoid situations like this in the future.
Thank you for your understanding, and I am grateful for the continued support of this community as I work to become a better version of myself.
Sincerely,
theshockcable

✭✭✭✭✭Wow. Sorry you have so many issues with the game.
As it happens, I don't have any of those issues. I'm perfectly happy with the amount of gameplay fun I have, so happy that I pay 4 annual subs, and buy extra crowns when on sale. For every one like you, there's probably one like me. I'm happy with the way the sets I changed to back in Blackwood work, and no, I don't do group content or pvp - because those are not my cuppa at all any more (not for over a decade, since I quit WoW and RIFT). So yes, you can call me one of your "1%", and I'm fine with that. I'm actually pretty sure I wouldn't like the game reconstructed the way you may envision....
Not sure what on Nirn the Dwemer have to do with it. They're just a nifty mystery for discussion.

Well... I mean, at least it's something new to speak up about an alleged "DWEMER genocide" instead of the usual complaints about unstable servers, lag, high crown store prices, gambling boxes, bugs,...@Syldras | PC | EU

Arictheana✭✭✭Subscription cost and it's benefits are fine.
Yes, the crown store is too expensive.
Yes, any gambling boxes are bad.
However, the premium currency is optional and just convenience. So unless you have a pixel buying problem (I do), you can ignore the crown store. Until you need/want to buy the dlc stuff.1 -
VouxeTheMinotaur✭✭✭the only way this game can turn around is if the Dev / Player communication improves by ZOS actually attempting to have a better relationship with players through forums and social content such as streams. Right now, it's just post announcement, post announcement, "we're investigating" "out of our control", website repost for discussion, log off.
There's a massive gap between dev and player connection. If it's not a problem about a crown store or widespread crash through servers, then they'll leave it for veteran forum players to answer until it gets enough views for it to actually be worth a read.
all while there's a massive group of players who can't even play the game due to the current state of it who are begging for help from devs.
this is not bashing at the devs, this is what has been observed, and many times can be seen through dev tracker.

Because this thread has derailed rather quickly with bashing and non-constructive commentary, we felt it was best to close it down.
