Sadness during Update 4 day 1

✭✭✭✭✭
Not going to be a long post
Got to say I love the update . Got to complete a few quests and a few world bosses and delves. Fantastic mechanics and really fun quest lines.
Also crazy vp , I'm up around 36% after a few hours of fun with guildies.
Sadly the bulk of people seem to be concerned with running burials, tower mindlessly levelling in this fashion even on day 1 - and they are missing the great content (or delaying it) . Couple of guildies joined in after starting to do burials and they were surprised by the xp and found it very fun.
So here is what I say - follow the questline chill out on the mind numbingly boring grind until a few days at least and enjoy the well made content

✭The questline IS mind-numbingly boring grind. The other grinds are just faster.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.2 -
Stratti✭✭✭✭✭O you have completed it then?
Or your just being negative with no information . Because out of the 15 or so people that were completing these no one shared your opinion
So you found the delve a grind - or the kill quests a grind.
I guess some people just want to complain .2 -

I am 99% sure it would be boring for me because I do not fight other players as part of the storyline.
It has nothing to do with complaining, and everything to do with wanting to play my way, as was promised. I can't get even remotely equivalent exp from pvp however.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.2 -

I feel sadness
You miss an awesome experience because you insist on playing your way. I have guildies that are hardcore PVP - even PvP officers but they still enjoy some questing
Try to broaden your horizons you may enjoy the game more and be less whiney on the forums3 -

I dide almost every quest pre-craglorn. I have tamriel hero, and there isn't many quests I haven't done.
My horizons have been broadened out as far as they are going to go.
Disagreeing with you isn't whining. It is just that, disagreeing. It is irrelevant whether it irks you or not.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.3 -

✭✭I first off grinded up in Hircine in the morning. Took like 2h to get to v14. Then we did ALL the quests. I dont like quests tbh. It was still fun doing it with friends on TS.
After that we completed Dragonstar Arena and then walked into Sanctum Ophidia. Now, my eyes hurts. And i have to sleep now
What a day.Havnt spent that much time ingame since the ESO Headstart 0 -

ROFL - who uses irks
It doesn't - it saddens me when people refuse to enjoy content then complain and whine and *** and moan up and down these forums about the game.
Enjoy it or step off to another game I say0 -

Are you seriously complaining because the word I used isn't common enough or used by your peer group? Get over yourself. Expand your vocabulary while you are at it.
I'm not refusing to enjoy content. I enjoy different things then you, and this game has pvp which is supposed to cater to PvP'rs.
Why should I have to leave the game?Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.0 -

Keep in mind, regardless of what game you see, you will find people that grind and could care less about the questline and unfortunately, all you have to do is not mind what they do with the game but rather focus on what you want out of it.
I finished upper craglorn quests and enjoyed it very much. I don't mind people who grinded their way to v14 within the few hours of update 4 being live. They have different focus, I have mine.0 -

Realize that people are different, try it! We all enjoy doing different things, different taste, different leisure activities etc. Not everyone is a carbon copy of ourselves.
You might find quest-lines in Craglorn to be amazing, but others just want max rank. Some prefers crafting, PvP, grinding, exploring, RP or whatever, instead of following a strict quest line in a 4-man group.
I do get why the whining annoys you. But sad because people have other preferences, why? Do you also get sad when your friend or partner dislikes a movie or TV-show you like lol?
Not everyone wants to play the game the same way you do. Deal with it and please try broaden your horizons.1 -

Absolutely fair comment
The word I used was sad. The reason I am sad about it is people jumped straight into grinding burials and anom thinking (some of them if not most) that there was no better option.
When you are killing a world boss in upper craglorn for the same VP as one of the burials - When you get well over 140k for the last boss in one of the delves and you can push 35% in a matter of a couple of hours it is sad to me that many (some , a few it isnt vital) feel the only option to them is grind groups
Of course people can play the game how they like but I spoke to many about it who were surprised at the VP they gained through only a portion of the quests
so the post is more aimed at those guys who are dreading the grind and may not have realised any other way was possible
Any time anyone posts on this forum the nay-sayers come out to play but this is more aimed at those who would quest if it was available
IMHO ZOS messed up with this burial/tower deal - I have posted previously on this . IMHO by allowing such a grind it takes away from the content that they have so meticulously developed.
It saddens me from the point of view of the game is set up to allow for people to skip entire quest lines and games and if you were to ask the vast bulk of max level (at v12) whether they enjoyed grinding burials (really dont know anyone that does) they would probably say if it wasnt there they couldnt care less but because it is there that is what they will do.0 -

right we should all have to grind through the quest lines because you like them.
The grind spots are ultimately faster, and some of us just want to get the level increase over with and go back to fun things.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.0 -

Basic reading skills would have shown you that I said the same thing. Perhaps your so quick with your vitriolic musings that you missed the point of the post. Or perhaps you read one line and took it out of context. I don't know or really care the post is for those who are perhaps leaning towards a different experience than 20hrs killing the same thing over and over0 -
Ragefist✭✭✭✭The younger generation keeps throwing away the word "grind" without knowing its meaning.
Grind is replacing your meaningful content with boring, repetitive and mindless killing of same monsters for sake of quick leveling.
Back in the old days we had to grind because we didn't have enough quests to level up, or we had to travel far distances to get those quests.
Now days players are being served everything on silver plate, yet they keep calling quest content grind.
The writing and storytelling in ESO is the best I have seen in mmo game, yet some players deformed by modern gaming choose to skip the content only to get to the end of the game... and then complaint that there is not enough content
I feel sorry for them. To me it seems as ridiculous as ordering 3-course menu in restaurant, but only drinking a coffee and throwing away all the meals.
This is what you have paid for isnt it, the quests? Not an option to get bored to death online. Sometimes I am having trouble to comprehend people's motives
Today I did yet another quest that amazed me, it was immersive and I had very hard time which side to take. At the end I made the right decision according to my characters personality, yet I was still surprised that it involved helping daedra and maintaining a curse. There was no good or bad decision, they were in shades of gray and I can only bow to ZOS writers
Mu advice? Take few deep breaths, relax and think: "Do I really need to hit level cap today so I can do Serpent Trial and Arena over and over for next 6 weeks, or I can could just have fun and see all there is in this patch?"
Because if that old fart Rage on forum had actually fun reading the new books and talking non-essential NPCs at Arena camp, there might be something to it that you are missing3 -

irk is a word that is hardly in common usage - is probably not the best expression in the context and furthermore it shows that the poster is trying to display some form of pseudo-intellectualism as a substitute for a poor argument
However your post made me laugh in the middle of a tough day so thank you.0
