I'm retaining my 3 monthly sub, I'm loving the game and haven't encountered any significant issues with it. However, I'm taking the game very slowly and I realise that the further I get into it the more critical will be such things as inventory management and the lack of a proper trading system. Other stuff that people report issues with such as bugged quests will doubtless get sorted, and the gold sellers and bots will also be a short-term post-launch problem, but some basic game design elements do need to be changed if I'm going to commit long-term.

Firmament

Yes I plan to. I would cancel if it goes to F2P. They are working to fix things. I will also wait to see what they are gonna do with some things like exp in Cyrodiil, boss farmers and such.

but they really need to break away from this elder scrolls thing, and add some real MMO features to the game.

Meaning they should make it WoW with different graphics?

No. Many (if not most) of the players here came because this is the Elder Scrolls Online.

no, meaning the game needs to give people basic information about what's going on.

many if not most of the players came here expecting an online MMO to be the same experience as the single player game.

pssst, it's not

Basic information? Do you mean floaty numbers? I love me some floaty numbers.

But in all seriousness, how do you not know what's going on? Are giant balls of fire not a big enough sign that you're being hit with fire?

i'm talking about debuffs, poison effects, curses, player names, etc.

basic info makes the game a WoW clone?

Not sure how form you are with wow in its current state player and design wise, but wow today is full dependent on Addons and if you don't have them, you are "a loser, a scrub or a casual who doesn't deserve to play the game".

As soon ZO add´s those addons and tools by opening up the API, we players will be overrun by the same Zombies who only watch at numbers and statistics while "working" the game.

TESO doesn't need those people here, that's why ZO hopefully never listens to them. There is a game that has all those things, actually there are a ton so why not play them?

The games you people want are on the market, so let those who don't want to run around like a headless chicken this one here, please.

Yup.

Yep. Still haven't reached level 50, and not giving much of a crap about all the bugs/exploits for reasons I have stated before.

This game got me for now.

Sleepwalker

Leaving a two-week-old game because of some launch bugs? Now, now. That's a bit of an overreaction, don't you think? Considering what has been broken in the past and the speed at which it has been fixed, I'd say give it some more thought before leaving. Unless, you just don't like the content... another story entirely. Jump on an alt and mess around while it's being fixed. Granted, bugs are frustrating. I totally get it and I totally agree. But tweaks and fixes are necessary in every project in which you'll ever partake from now to the foreseeable human future. If you're gonna quit them all, you're gonna have a bad time...

I waited for over a year for this game, and it's all that I wanted and more. Not going anywhere, ZOS!

Bugs happen and although it's ticking me off to have to relog a few times a session, I can tell they are working on it.

I sincerely wish everyone thought like this. Oh, and to your second point...

My basic problem so far is the game is way too easy and I'm bored to tears. I'm only using Crystal Fragments, and at 26 am still two shotting everything. Beings I've been doing every last possible thing in each zone, I'm over level for most of my quests.I'm hoping the game play will become more challenging as I level, but to be honest, it's hard to log in most nights.

Veteran content awaits you. Haven't heard a single voice in any thread of any forum commenting that it's easy. Just saying.

Player names? Don't need to see them.
Debuffs, etc.? I've been fine without seeing them. Maybe if you try playing the game as designed, you'll find that you don't miss the floaty numbers.

It is designed with skill points to assign, enchants to place on equipment and short duration buffs and debuffs. It's designed to allow you to play to a much higher level if you have some basic information.

Just because you just want to just potter about in the world killing skeavers, or fail in group content and blame someone else, there are some who don't. There are those who embrace the team nature of a multiplayer game of any scale and want to be a worthwhile member of that team. So stop with this sanctimonious attitude; you play the game you enjoy and let others play it the way they enjoy. Makes no difference to your gameplay experience if somewhere else in the game there's a group of players actually doing things well.

Uninstalled the game with 20 days left. So many issues... Feel cheated and this will affect if I ever buy an Elder Scrolls again. TES6: I will only buy if in the bargain bin after it has gone down to costing the price of a packet of peanuts. Threw away too much money, left a bad taste in my mouth. Don't trust 'em ever again.

I felt cheated when I discovered in DC online, that to send an item to a friend, or even to trade with someone anything, I needed to subscribe. Thats the problem with "free to play" games. I am sorry for your experience, though. Believe me. There are much worse MMO experience out there.

Isn't it funny that I'm perfectly capable of performing well in my group without add-ons? It's almost like they've designed a game that doesn't require its players to have a whole host of extra add-ons to stay "serious" (because this is serious business).

Athise

Already canceled subscription. i'm not really a person to give a second chance towards mmo's and first impression means alot for me.
I'll probably follow the updates on this game for the next few months but i doubt this game is right for me.
I enjoyed TES games and certain mmo's but this isn't what i expected from a combination between the two.

(actually i enjoyed TES games only when it had plenty of mods , never cared about the main story)

Milanna

As for now, I have cancelled my sub.

I love the game, the questing is awesome, best MMO ever in my opinion. But...

Bots. They are ruining what could be a great game. I want to experience it all. I want the immersion and I can´t have that when the bots are piling up on top of each other. So as of now, no. I hope something will be done.

I know bots exist in other games as well. I have never seen it in such extent before though.

Sakiri

Depends on if theres anything for a pair to do soon that isnt broken quest phasing, bot filled delves for crap xp or world bosses I can solo.

Craglorns overworld content is designed for 4 rank 10 players. Hell be rank 10 next year after they nerf the main quest.

Actually, your health bar shows some status effects, like bleeding (arrows pointing inward) or regenerating/leeching (arrows pointing outward), poison is shown as a gas cloud around the character(unless that's disease...) and so on. Same on NPC body and health bar. The devs said a lot of times they want people to concentrate on what's going on, not staring at bars

My lightning form makes a lot of other effects hard to see.

I have trouble seeing the cues for power attacks and casts to interrupt through it.

Its like some effects cover others.

Prove it.

Musonius

No. I unsubbed about a week ago and have seen nothing since to make we want to resub. I was hoping this game would be different from almost other games released in the past several years, namely not a buggy, poorly designed mess. Sadly I was disappointed. The game does look good, has a lot of choices for how to play and will make a decent single player game if they get the bugs worked out, but it was released with lots of bugs, exploitable mechanics and horribly designed UI. I will come back for another try when it goes f2p, but until then, when my initial 30 days are up I will be saying good bye.

I had the same issue with not being able to see the cues when I used lightning form, so I set combat cues on always. I don't care if it's 'cheap' to have the game tell me when I can block or interrupt at least I can see it now.

A247

I was going to subscribe for six months but think I will change it to a one month subscription instead. I love the game but the bots are ruining it for me and so far haven't seen any improvement from Zenimax to removing them which has me worried.

Army of bots

Bots recently un-banned to god knows what the real reason is

Mass item duping with instruction on how to on google

Level 50's within 24-36 hours exploiting a quest glitch with no recourse (hell why would they look at the army of bots everywhere)

Lack of emergency action to fix any of the above (and yes they had time to do it by now)

You really would pay for this $60+ up front $15 a month?

Melky

yes. but not sure how long

Cant change that setting.

vyndral13preub18_ESO

Yup.

Seraseth

Sorry, the setting is called 'active combat tips'. If you put that to always show, then you get the message you can block etc all the time instead of the first time only in the tutorial.

Sakiri

Not seen that setting. Ill have to look later.

Jake71887

No, finding it really difficult to log in... Just too boring for me. =/

byghostlightrwb17_ESO

YES, I have fairly few bugs and I am adult who have lived through many MMO and ES launches, so dont have unreal expectations of things being perfect out of the gate.

Thesiren

I"m subbing; I already picked the 6-month plan. If they'd had a yearly I'd have done that one instead.

That said, I desperately hope they get the gold farming hacker scum permanently suppressed, and I hope equally as desperately that they add an auction house, even if it has to be faction-based.

I love the game overall.

I think it's fun. I (usually) feel immersed (zone chat always off. Play off-hours). I met some great and fun people. I am attached to my characters. Really enjoy the quest lines and enjoyed the main story. Enjoy the combat system.

But unfortunately I won't continue. Botting and cheaters is one reason. But the biggest reason is real (EDIT) life. I have to get my act together because I've started my own business recently.

I hope to come back someday. Today will be my last day.

Good luck with your business dude!

Chelo

If I still not seen an AH after the first big patch, Im done with this game...

Darrett

Absolutely. 6 month sub is no problem at all. By far best MMORPG I've played to date, even with the minor bugs and issues that I've encountered.
