Interview with Paul Sage
-
The_Drexill✭✭✭✭Awful interview, Sage was fine... but the guy asking questions was a tool. I just don't know what people want from this game... honestly. This dev team has one hell of a mountain to climb, because everyone is a critic, but not one has any feedback.Brandizzle - NB
Drexill The Unbreakable - Sorc

So true. Look what they have done to the game and players with Update 2.Paul D. Sage: So we’ve actually really taken a huge step on making sure that the player experience is as good as it can be for reducing bugs. The developer team is fully committed since the very beginning of launch and even before to make sure all of the bugs were taken care of.Edited by b92303008rwb17_ESO on June 26, 2014 2:23PM0 -

Ragnar we agree on alot of things but . i got none of that from that article. When we strt seeing them renig on content updates and focusing on asthetics then we will know its gonna go F2P
Looks at this content update full of just cosmetic fluff.....
Including a new dungeon and Paul talking about adding a justice system with a PvP element. I'm still surprised no-one else seems to be interested in hearing more about that because that seems to me to potentially be a very big game change for PvE content depending on what they do.
@Curragraigue
Very interesting comments. When he says "steal from NPCs" does he mean literally from their pockets, or going in to houses and emptying night stands and wardrobes. If it's the latter...then I guess you folks better hurry up and get your farming done or else this is probably going to affect the availability of motifs and provisioning motifs. Some players are going to probably avoid the justice system all together.

wow, I assume that you got 5 stars from a ton of insightful posts like this?..
Actually a ton of agrees, but quite a number of insights and awesomes as well
LoL...Ragnar you have more comments than agrees! I guess if you throw enough darts eventually you hit the board!
If you dislike this game as much as your comments suggest, then perhaps you should quit. Then stop spending your time in the forums of a game you despise.
If you hate hearing what disappointed customers have to say, maybe you should just shut up and not read it?0 -

Thank you for this. I completely forgot about that server. I played on Lanys, because I was like 17 back then and couldn't afford that premium server
. Ah, the nostalgia. God I miss that game!

Halke✭✭✭Wonder what did he mean by Region-free. Does it mean all factions could finally quest together?
OMG I hope so. I just got done submitting the longest /feedback ever asking for that. It makes no sense for it not to be. The game itself tells us the war is stupid, so why are we still keeping sides? Vet ranks are so empty right now, the chance to play with my friends who have their vet toons in another alliance may make me keep playing for a while longer.0 -
F2P is a virus... you spend more money there than you do on subs .. plus i want to know the gear a person has was earned and where i can get it... not that he bought the "skin" off the cash shop.. omg i hate f2p1

I've given extensive feedback via Support and /feedback - as no doubt many other people have. We've also given it in numerous threads here and are not going to repeat ourselves in every single post.
Besides there is nothing wrong with saying what is not liked without suggesting an alternative. One disliked feature can have a dozen alternatives. Zenimax are the designers, it's up to them to consider alternatives within the overall picture - if indeed they think it's a problem in the first place.0 -

And not given them by a friend or bought on an auction house as well? It's none of anyone's business but the individual what they choose to do with their own money in a game.
It's a game people play for fun, not Rollerball.
Without FTP a lot of games wouldn't exist. And without the big spending whales the FTP doesn't work. If someone wants to help keep a game going for me to enjoy by buying every item in the store that's fine by me.1 -
Moonchilde✭✭✭I subscribed to ESO *because* it was a subscriber game. I'll say it for Paul, many players like myself cannot stand the behavior of F2P players; it tears down any sense of community, and overthrows any sense of achievement because people will buy what others work for.
Elder Scrolls has a reason to be proud of its franchise, and doing it with players who are invested means at least they have enough respect for it to pay for it - and contribute to its future. It will make it a better product in the long run.1 -

Of course it is fine. It is why i let people buy me dinner. Who doesn't like free stuff. It is great when people pay for things, so you don't have to.
That is why if we ever do go ftp i hope it is full blown pay to win , and the cosmetic stuff keeps getting added for free, since that is the stuff i like and want free. Let others pay for me buying their stupid +3 swords of rabbit slaying. Let me play dress up for free.0 -

You're talking to the guy who spent an ungodly sum on TOS uniforms for his crew in STO and the same on a ship worse than the one FTP get for free just because it was iconic and cool.
But then i went and bought a lifetime sub in the Sale because STO is a very polished game. That's how a good FTP game should work. Unlike games like LOTRO that just drive you to leave with their blatant chiselling and open contempt for their customers.0 -
LariahHunding✭✭✭✭I heard a whole lot of nothing with that interview."Give a man a sweet roll, he only has one to steal. Give him a sweet roll recipe, he have bunches to steal."

✭Maybe it's just me, but that whole article was basically just "coach speak". Nothing was really said, answers to questions were pretty vague with open-ended answers. Anyone who has ever listened to an interview with a coach or watched a press-conference with a coach will hear the same thing. That was "coach speak" in my opinion.
It wasn't just you. Meaningless official boilerplate. This is one of those interviews that you end early, since they have no intention of telling you anything that isn't already on the company website.0 -

Because they've already stated (indirectly) that it is probably still more than 6 months out.
One new dungeon... 9 gigs of download... that's beyond absurd.0 -
