Rapid Gear Decay, Expensive Respec and a 1-5 bar. I will not enjoy any game based on this model. Keep you poor forever and unable to experiment with your build, restrict all of your build to 5 abilities.

This game is a joke, a bad joke and its dead. If you aren't in "The Dev-Pet Guild" then you probably aren't going to get much farther ahead. I wonder how many members of the Dev Pets were able to keep their hundreds of duped items.

I can't ever remember playing a new mmo, where after a few weeks people were ringing the bells of doom and death for the game. Needless to say all of those games are still here, and seem to be handsomely populated.

The VR zones are empty because few people want them. Many at VR12 now did so by abusing the Anomaly Crystals which ZOS have now destroyed as a means of leveling.

Why did people use those? Because questing in the VR zones is an exercise in utter frustration.

VR zones will kill this game, they're LEVELING content not end-game so if you're unable to progress due to asininely-buffed mobs or simply don't intend to tolerate a 1990s-like grind then you'll have to leave as there's nothing left to do.

+1 i think ESO needs Urgent Changes i raise my last 5 vet lvl grinding becouse i cant see any more quest in front of me its so TEDIUS. pvp its a joke to gain xp and alwwaysempy or it lag

Holy jeebis! Now there's a code for conduit? And I thought just having a code of conduct was bad!

Even if it was, I don't care. I play this game to enjoy myself. I don't care about others playing or not.

So why play an MMO???

I don't know if there's any way to check the population of subscriptions in ESO but every guild I speak to is either losing members or dying, when I go to vet zones they are completely empty, and Cyrodiil population seems to have dropped a lot too?

Hey Jimmy !

How have you been??

I see you are still asking this same question since 1997.

What was that first MMO were you coined this famous phrase?

OH YEAH !!

Ultima Online

Then it was EQ1

Then Asherons Call
Then Eve Online
Then DAOC
Then EQ2
Then WoW
Then Vanguard
Then Guild wars 1
Then Lord Of the Rings
Then Age Of Conan
Then WarHammer
Then Aion
Then SwTor
Then Guild wars 2
....
....

You must be getting pretty old by now Jimmy Or has one of your kids taken over the family business now??

well all I can say is Cyrodiil campaigns are empty and they used to be full, vet zones are empty and they used to be full, what else you wana know?

That there are only 2 servers in the whole world? If anyone had half a brain they'd be wondering the same

Think of VR zones as a shredder, or a cliff, or a roach motel. People hit 'em, and aren't seen again. The newbie zones are busy as new users start, or those who dipped their feet into VR decide to just re-roll. But we're seeing the loss of the hard core players that sped through. We will see a constant depletion as players level and march into the sea that is VR play.

Just hope the new players, and re-rollers, match the upper-level exodus until they get a real end game solution.

So many LOL's so little time! I'm VR 6 right now and I'm having the time of my life in the VR zones! Good PUG's even! I seriously doubt we're going to miss the ADD crowd that chewed up the content and spit it out in a week! They were never going to stay with this, or any other MMO that wasn't Oooo Sparkly 24/7! <Squirrell!!> See! There goes another one!

Nope. I just bought it.

Another "The three month old game is dying" thread. Since some clearly do not know how MMOs work, I'll fill them in; You see when an MMO is being developed, especially of the ES calibur, there tends to be a lot of "Hype". At release there will usually be an overwhelming amount of players. As with any MMO, after 2 - 3 months the player base starts to dwindle and "even out".

For most to thoroughly enjoy ESO, they need to be into the lore aspect. The lore in ESO (or any ES title) is unrivaled. If one does not care for lore and likes to rush along, then there are other MMOs better suited for those types of players. MMOs where combat is more streamlined and appealing and where there aren't so many bugs. Where it's encouraged to rush to endgame as quickly as possible because well... there isn't a whole lot in between. With ESO this isn't the case.

Kind Regards,
David

It's hella soon to be watching this hype drop off this steeply for a AAA title like ESO. You know this, whether you want to admit it or not. This isn't a decade earlier where they're revolutionizing the genre. There are older titles out there that have set the standard, and any new mmo coming out not only has to meet those, they have to exceed them to maintain a player base. You can see that they are trying and scrambling now. They know they released the game early. It's obvious as to why they did that. Too many titles are going to be dropping and they needed market share to be remotely competitive.

But when you release a AAA title with stale, linear content, you're going to suffer indifference and back lash. People are crying out because they do love the title. They want to see the game succeed but there isn't much in the way of rewards for them to stay engaged.

50 of us from a 10 year old gaming community started ESO together, all but 8 of us have quit, and those 8 are suffering daily lag, 301 errors, random disconnects etc and getting less happy every day. Draw whatever conclusions you want from that.

[Moderator Note: Edited per our rules on Flaming]

Your personal experience does not equate to everyone else's so stop with the subjective bs. This game has minimum specs to be able to run the software. The fact that it isn't compatible with a lot of rigs means that the company didn't test properly and needs to either fix those core compatibility issues or rescind their specifications. While I haven't had the issues that a lot of people have had because I do have a February purchased mid range CyberpowerPC gaming unit, I have had combat lag, quest bugs, and for a while in the beginning, constant disconnects. Whether you want to acknowledge that some of the issues are server side or not, they've already admitted to it for a lot of these issues.
Also, you must have a very limited mmo experience to make broad generalizations. Especially, when EVE Online, Ultima Online, Everquest, Neverwinter, and FFXI have been out for 9+ years.

It's hard to tell with zones super fragmented by phasing. ESO to me is a nice rpg with other ppl running in it that I can sometimes help if they are exactly where I am at in a quest.

The clock is 15:26, not much ppl playing in cyr atm.

5 am EST on a Monday morning. You kidding me? I would be depressed if Cyrodiil was full at that time (what would that say about American priorities?)

3pm, it's EU

Ahhh, that's different then. NA is having no problems with our pvp populations (on a non-weekday early morning).
