Reevster✭✭✭✭✭Ugh Wildstar...cartoon game, but hey that is the mentality of the some of the MMO crowd now it appears, so all the power to them I guess but its not for me.6 -

You know I literally would love to if I had any left. You know how many friends and family I got to buy ESO? Seven. You know how many of us are still playing the game? Not. One.

✭IMHO, even year is rushing it. 3 factions to play and many different story options to take -- like "should I lie here or not?" "should let this NPC die or not?" Play a "goodie two shoes or a super evil char?" so many options to replay.
On my alt char, I just now enter the last zone before the VR levels. I have not got a chance to play my main char that much yet.1 -
Nazon_Katts✭✭✭✭✭Here's your 3GTC and I raise to 5GTC, MUAhah... oh, wait.
But while the grass is most certainly greener over at WS, literally, it's got it's problems as well. (don't ask for guestpasses, haven't received mine yet)
And while it does play somewhat like a MMO Jump'n Run, it's precisely that whacko gameplay which makes it fun and a good game to play in tandem with ESO, rather than instead of.

Well, you do know that you get to play the other factions entire maps & quests once you hit lvl50/vet1 right? have fun doing it with both your main and your alt. I left my alts flatlined since i understood that there is really nothing special or real difference between the alliances. Sure, story was ok, just that its the exactly same regardless of faction.
One can spinn a coin many times but im afraid there will still only be two sides no matter how many times you spinn it. ESO have 3 sides with same story, thats it.1 -

Your burned out because you thought of it as a grind, or completed it as a grind, instead of an adventure! And rushed through it instead of taking your sweet time and enjoying the quests,story and environments
jesus it baffles me how people think that being at end game 3 months after launch is rushing. People that are just now hitting the VR ranks are rushing? there is a definate flat spot here partner . Everyone ends up at end game whether it be 3 weeks or 3 months but the result is the same its imbalanced boring and not well implemented. the bulk of the population is saying the same thing. We all want the game to be better , i feel as the OP does the only difference is i know that no MMO actually has its game play and content straightend out until 6 months after launch.
In this game. Yes.. 3 months is rushing, And i think the only people that are complaining the the people that just like to complain. The rest are enjoying the game too much to complain
Wife and I are three months in, and we're definitely taking our time. Our mains are at Level 31.Crotchety Old Man Guild

Heraclea✭✭✭I bought a six month sub, and don't regret it. It always takes these games about that long to find their feet.
There are parts of the game I totally enjoy. The non-veteran levelling content remains first rate; and I've yet to experience DC as it's meant to be, or EP at all. really. I've put my VR3 heavy/stamina dragonknight on hold while I level a sorcerer.
And in the meantime, I continue to get to play while waiting for the devs to work out ways to make stamina builds playable, heavy armor do something, and veteran content fun. They will either succeed while I am still subbed or they will not.Hircine loves me, this I know,

Your burned out because you thought of it as a grind, or completed it as a grind, instead of an adventure! And rushed through it instead of taking your sweet time and enjoying the quests,story and environments
Oh please.... The vet level grind is atrocious. It has been cited time and time again as a very big reason for people leaving the game, don't try to invalidate someone's opinion with your fanboyism.
Its a legit gripe, even you don't feel the same way.7 -

I have to ask Mission, what level are you? You sound like someone that is about lvl 45-50 that is just wrapping up Coldharbour.
The vast majority of players I have spoken with really enjoyed the 1-50 leveling experience, it was the vet zones and ranks that turned them off.....3 -

I enjoyed all the stories, the lorebooks, delves, dolmens, dungeons (I missed a few group dungeons though) etc, and I didn't rush it...I just had a crap ton of free time and I liked the game a lot. I got my money's worth no doubt, but what's left does not justify a subscription, at least for me.

Thor✭✭✭I paid 6 months and I'm quite happy so far (Temp V12 + alts of various levels).
ESO has great PvP (well, there are some flaws, but in general it's awesome), I expect to have fun for a long time...
If I get bored, ragequit or whatever; 6 months sub is not that big deal. Zenimax deserves it for the attempt

Yeah 10 zones filled with new quests, dungeons, world bosses, and dolomens... I don't think grind means what you think it does. Just because it takes time and isn't as easy as 1-50 does not mean it's a grind.4 -

As for ESO its future is murky but i do have faith in ZOS and they have a large bankroll to improve the game. WS may feel fine in the front end but if your claiming the end game is there and fucntioing and your playing it, it cant be that much of a MMO even ESO it takes time and quite frequently actually playing with other people to accomplish getting to max lvl.

Their game is amazing, completed, and years ahead of ESO in terms of features, and content (and actually having things to do). WS community is paying for actual premium content, rather than the hope that someday they might get it. I really wanted it to be ESO to rule them all, but this is just early-access for console release. It's not finished. We're literally a laughing stock all over the internet but here, since its the MMO that pretty much only allows you to play by yourself. ZoS is probably playing WS, which would explain massive silences and no communication. *sigh*

Damn it! How did I let another mediocre MMO burn me again. I thought ESO was "The One".
What really rubs salt into the wound, is that WildStar is creaming ESO in the Metacritic rankings. I mean you've got a kiddie cartoon WoW knockoff, with pewpewpew, scoring an 86, and ESO has what... 71! *sigh*

Dusty5✭✭✭Welcome to the club. While our issues over what's wrong differ we are all in the same boat. Not only did I pay for 5day early access I talked my wife into playing. So yea they got me for 175 bucks and like you I thought finally a fully developed mmo from a class act..you know a high quality product. Oh how wrong we were.4

It's a grind because its tedious. But again, this is a subjective statement. You can disagree all you want but that does not make other people wrong. It is a perfectly valid opinion even if you don't share it.2 -

✭Not sure why anyone would commit to any new release for 6 months. I didn't even want to commit more than a month but ended up getting a game card (2 months).1 -
Heishi✭✭✭✭✭This may come as a complete surprise to some people.. but when an MMO launches, it has the least amount of content it will ever have. If you power through it all at once you're going to burn out. It's like seeing a bunch of ice cream, shoveling it all down as fast as you can, then throwing up. MODERATION..
To that.. grinding is essentially the formula for burn out. Doing the exact same task over and over with no change is just terribly mind numbing.And so did many brave men, women, and beast fall to the end of Beta, never to be heard from again. All that is left, is whispers of the adventures they had.4 -
