Lipstick on a Pig

Dusty5 · June 2014

What is the point of new content when everyone is reminded shortly after login of the extensive list of bugged items/skill/quests? Do you look at your 8 slots and think it would be nice if these broken player skills were fixed I would play number 1 or 3 but its not. No mail from staff so number 5 is still stuck in landscape so he's out. 4 is stuck in a broken quest line so all she's good for is gold farming and that puts me to sleep. So my only choice is play 2 or start number 6. Even that is a waste of time because you know what is waiting for you 24 hours from now. But oh look a new instance and another zone. What is the point of that? the player base supposed to say how wonderful! and forget everything else while forking over another 15 bucks with a glazed zombie look? Its lipstick on a pig,makes people stop and look but its still just a pig. There should be no new content of any type till all issues are fixed. Its the only way ZOS is going to get people coming back and new player pick up the box out of the bargain bin. Unless your in the market for a pig.

Not once have I had a problem with anything mentioned in said wall of text. They have an auto sub from me because I love this game.

Asasinka · June 2014

^^ this and if you are stuck try /stuck command

Hilgara · June 2014

Nope, they seem to be pretty hot on fixing broken quest. Credit where its due.

nerevarine1138 · June 2014

I love pigs. And bacon. I wouldn't want lipstick on my bacon though.

And like the other posters in this thread, I found nothing in that text that remotely resembles my in-game experience.

Sirropo · June 2014

Handful of quest that I had to quit on because of bugs, but most of those where from month plus ago ...have one now tho, solo quest, doing fine, come to the end and find that this solo quest has turned into a group quest ...I couldn't kill the dude, checked out the method on YouTube, shows a group doing it.

Oh, number of main quest line segments I waited till I was like 3 levels above ..when it came to fighting those boss MOBS

Ryoendymon · June 2014

Had a few bugs, like glitched quests etc, logged off, went to work, came home, got on, quest worked fine.

I don't debase the content of an argument by its presentation (aka not going to gripe about spelling, grammar, or wall of text) because I screw those up too.

but nothing of what I saw has described my experience, except that customer service isn't exactly willing to work with you to resolve an issue, but most of the time there is a way.

/stuck, travel to player, get a buddy to lure a giant to you to crush your toons head and rez at the wayshrine...plenty of options usually.

Are we playing the same game? I have levelled 3 toons to VR without any real issues. Now I have applied to a guild and am rolling another toon on the NA server in their selected faction. As well as being able to talk (mumble) to lots of other people I will also have a fresh character for the new, non-VR PvP. If you really dislike the game so much why not just cancel and leave?

BTW, if you are having technical issues you need to contact technical support and keep contacting them until everything is resolved. Always use the email contact form and quote your ticket number when responding.

Your the luckiest person alive. Customer service thread at 456 pages. My wife plays and its the only reason I have any contact with this mmo. Untill I do leave or ZOS gets its act together I will continue to hammer ESO in the forums. Till I get the quality I was promised and spent 150 bucks for.

dastone · June 2014

Yes

Nick_666 · June 2014

I too would like to know where all these bugged quests etc are.
I've been playing for 3 weeks and got to level 16/17 without any problems whatsoever.
Really wish people would stop crying about perceived bugs they have and get on with playing , or just go play sommat else.
Go play stalker series of games then come back here and moan about bugs.
I'm not gonna quit the game cos i'm having fun, but i think its about time i quit this forum, i've had enough of all the whingers.

Theosis · June 2014

Only major problem I had was with the Molag Bal bug. My main was stuck for about a week. That is a fairly big and game breaking issue but it has been fixed.

When you get a game-breaking bug that stalls a quest which is critical in order to be able to "get on with playing" then I hope you come back to this thread and apologise.

I'm at VR2. I had a bugged quest about 2 months ago at launch. It was fixed within a day. OOOH there was a bug that didn't let one of my achievements show up. I wrote them and it took about 20 minutes to get an email back. Told them what time I would be on and they met me in game (An Hour Early) and gave me my achievement back. So see there are bugs.

Nope.
I'll just wait for a fix, but i wont come here moaning about it.
There's a lot of people here who have a serious bug tho.
Its the whingers bug.

dido9880ub17_ESO · June 2014

I do not know what quests you could possibly be stuck on. I have not run into a quest that I even had to relog to fix in quite some time. My sorcerer is currently v10 and I have done the majority of quests in each zone. Currently running the Desert.

You Sir have just won the whole internet. Pure win everyone here should be bowing their head in defeat.

Soloeus · June 2014

This whole game is a fat ugly stinky pig and the behaviors and choices of ZOS are going to keep it ruined.

ESO isn't Bacon.

It is SPAM.

Tell this to people unable to play because of bugs like this, your advice is for them to stop playing for weeks it seems:

I'll let you level a bit, clearly you've seen little of the game and not come up against the progress-blockers yet.

Whisper292 · June 2014

Um, huh?

RylukShouja · June 2014

I was stuck for one day on a broken quest, once. I have gotten stuck in the landscape a couple times... But /stuck always fixed it. There are lots of bugs in this game, but you seem to be complaining about the most easily resolved ones...

Dekkameron · June 2014

...Came in expecting more cosmetic options for Orsimer...

Left confused....

manyrabidrats · June 2014

yeah.. completed 1-50 in each faction. was able to complete each quest in each faction without much trouble. one time i did stuff out of order in al'kir desert and the main questline was broken, used a support ticket in game and got it resolved within an hour (they reset my main questline for that zone)
like a skeever, yes, you may have some cheese with your wine and sip it alongside another raving lunatic, sheogorath..

daneyulebub17_ESO · June 2014

Post made about as much sense as the person who popularized that "lipstick on a pig" phrase 5 years ago or so typically did.

Armianlee · June 2014

4 active accounts in my house, all have been levelled at least once to VR4-8 and nowhere near the issues you have. Have we had lag issues? Yes, occasionally. Bugged quests? A few, mostly on release, then that fun one in Bangkori after the hotfix a couple weeks back. There have been a few other issues here and there, including memleaks etc, that were all fixed, aside from that I echo the statement of most in this thread...

Munku · June 2014

No issues for me either.

twev · June 2014

Hundreds of people can post glowing 'I never had a single problem from start to finish!' posts, and slap each other on the back for a job-well-done.

That doesn't mean that hundreds of other people on the forum who post of issues are making it up or don't know what they're doing.

The attitude some people have, when they don't have a prob with the game, regarding other players who can't play for days or weeks while still paying sub money is lacking a certain amount of recognition that all aren't leading the same troublefree online life.

There has been much documentation of issues already, so insisting that they played through with no problem indicates they didn't run into the issues - not that the issues don't exist.

I see little use in people bragging they had a completely trouble free play-through to people who are paying the same subscription fees but getting less value for the money spent. And then seeming to try to imply that the user can be the only one at fault is just icing on the cake.

Lets try to keep in mind that there are people who run into broken stuff and just take the money that would have gone into a better game with them when they walk away unsatisfied?

That probably isn't the best example of a broken quest. It appears that the complaint is invalid due to the fact the person still has a leg of the quest to complete and has been expecting the quest to be complete after finishing one part of it. Looks to me as if the quest is working as intended but the person just doesn't understand that he/she needs to complete another part.

It is not uncommon to find this problem with errors in all kinds of software. Usually, there is a loose nut at the keyboard level.

Zenimax wont get players back until f2p, its the same with every other mmo, once they lose them they are gone. Look at all the tumbleweeds blowing around the server.
