The classes. More specifically the lack of melee.

Think I saw something posted recently about the repetitive nature of dungeons in ESO - sort of a cookie cutter design that is applied to multiple dungeons.

If true, it would explain why so many dungeons seem familiar.

Basicly only 3 things 1 Balance
2 Lack of dev communication
3 The veteran level grind.

No rewards in PvP. A special skill line that would improve your class like in DAOC would be great, i actually miss this kind of motivation in all games.

My only real issue, so far, is that the hybrid nature of this ES MMO is not quite as smooth and seemless as I'd like. It's easy to play solo and usually other people have been more boon than bane but stuff like getting credit for a boss kill that I didn't touch ( some would see this as a 'freebie' but I'll fight my own battles, thankyouverymuch ), quests triggering before I'm done reading or talking with NPCs and how I never know if a person I'm questing with is getting credit for my kills / pick-ups or not and the very unpredictable nature of said credit. Haven't really had an issue with group members being in a different phase while questing, just in town when we initially group up. But a quick trip via Wayshrine usually fixes that.

Another bugaboo is the game, at times, seems just a wee bit too hard for solo and usually way too easy for a duo.

Trait search for items in inventory, so those of us who craft can find an item and deconstruct repeats for type vs trait. As it is, I spend an hour at a crafting stand, with Note Pad up, typing the various traits for the items... Blacksmithing and clothing are a PITB for this.

Guild Store search is... useless. Running a search for materials I find finished products, like food, weapons, rings, and things that aren't mats. I usually get fed up before I get past the first page, because very little is what I'm actually looking for! Also, allow us to search across all guilds that we are a member of. Right now, I'd rather sell mats to the vendors because this is a nightmare.

While I would like an auction house (doesn't have to be global, faction based would be fine too), raising the limit on the number of players in a guild and fixing the half-behind search feature would be good, thanks.

A lack of jewelry crafting. If it follows the same course as the rest of the crafts, making it yourself would be much more powerful than finding it or buying it from the vendor.

Rezzing issues, like NPCs rezzing after players in cities. Guess which has a bounding box that causes a player to have to stop and go around? Not the players! Also, rezzing order for the environment, going closest first, rather than, whatever the game feels like rendering! Fixing bounding boxes for various areas, like the door to the manor in Vulkhel Guard. People are getting stuck in it, for goodness' sake!

Pre-downloading patches rather than doing them that day. Some of us are stuck in the boonies with one ISP and it's DSL. We wind up spending a day downloading. I'd rather play, drat it. Allow the patch to download slowly over a week, in the background and then download one, much smaller patch that day.

Honestly my biggest gripe atm is the class balance. I know it's an ongoing process though.

I hate how the games vision gets skewed, seemingly from forum terrorism.

No it is skewed because of behind the scene guild influence.

Bad dungeon xp, and almost as bad PvP xp for leveling characters.

Dungeon xp is so bad it's as if the devs decided to remove group instanced content from the 1-50 game.

I stopped playing a bit ago. For me was the veteran zones. Not that they are difficult. But i did not like the whole my character playing for the enemy thing. It was like starting a whole new character on a new faction just to get the faction i wanted to max level. After coldharbour which felt like the conclusion. (Though there some unanswered parts to it.) Killed it for me. Usually you make alts to see other's factions' content. Adds replay value. I don't mind veteran zones. They should of been like craglorn. Added 2 or 3 after coldharbour.

I would say to friend: Stay away from PVP

- level balance is non existing. Let´s call this thing like STV "battleground" in WoW (high levels usualy went there to smash low levels)
- FPS and LAG madness
- AOE skill madness

they claimed to have that booster thing, but failed to boost it to proper level. What it is good for when you are still 5 times weaker than the top level? And top levels are now like 70% of participants in Cyrodiil.

you want o play PVP with some decent experience? Well go and do a hell lot of PVE content.

If I knew this was supposed to be such sh*t! I would have farmed bosses during first month. Now there is NO fast way to level up!

NO options to level. Have run going through all 3 faction zones or grinding in Craglorn. I tell them that PVP is awesome but there is almost no reason to do it and xp is very bad in cyrodil. That is what I don't like. There are no options for leveling and VR seem to be a big after thought for more content which is good if it is optional but its the only effective way to level which kills faction pride and burns people out that like to run dungeons and pvp rather than PVE.

I could probably write whole article about this. Recent things..

- worthless items added (new loot junk from barels/crates etc.)
- further (probably not so intentional) nerf to vampires (no I dont mean PvP bug)
- Werewolves
- Nightblades
- Enchanting
- stamina builds vs magicka builds
- artificial way of making everything taking a lot more time then needed (no clever things, just blunt into your face)
- very few voice actors (just minor annoyance)
- forced solo where it isnt needed (mages guild/fighters guild .. meh, there is very few things in game, where "solo" really should be)
- guild system
- bank system
- items repair
- last but not least, fishing (or any "free time activities" lack of them)

Plus fact that game could been much much better, if someone used brain and learned from mistakes that other MMO did. Or at least played some MMO..

Starting to annoy me that Cyro isnt fixed, but understandable.
Give it a few more weeks, then I will state Cyro Lag is the ONLY thing about ESO in game.

What I really do not like about ESO are these the topics on these forums. They are so full of junk, that for a normal player, who likes the game and come here to take a look. They go away instantly. I don't blame them.

It started to be better lately, with more people posting anything else then garbage.

I try to involve myself in discussions here. Its better then before.
But MILES away from the real community discussions on Reddit.

It would be nice if the quite big player base would feel welcome on these forums.

To prove I am not full of junk myself. Ever since may, every time I state anything positive, I get jumped. Fine. Everyone should voice whatever they want. Against me? Go nuts. I don't care. But most other people do care if they post something and get a mob on them.

Sad really.

Just look at how many LOLs I will get on this post ;-)
