1.5 - Impressions from a critical returning player

✭I virtually agree with the OP, it would appear that Zeni has good ideas. But there implementation of them is poor.
Group Finder is broken in my opinion, this needs some serious work in a game where the majority of content involves being in a group at end game!
It's also more important now they have Gimped the Quest XP.1 -

And what has this to do with the pure mechanic of the LFG Tools? Besides if I go to a Heroic Dungeon in WoW I expect to get "only" Rare Loot and not Epic Loot.kevlarto_ESO wrote: »What do you consider to be a real game ? and what games do them correctly in your opinion ?
For Dungeon dalies and dungeon finder WOW.
Ähm what?
Do you realize that you need to do dungeon dailys for about a month to get 2 epic items from the vendor?
Heroic dungeons don't even have epic items but rares as drops these days.
They are not useless. It just depends what kind of content you want to play. If you only want to play PvE on a causal base than LFR and its loot is fine. If you want to raid 3-4 days per week, you will not move to LFR cause you have your Guild Raid.Not saying the dungeon finder is bad at WOW but its not like you describe it at all. You farm many weeks there for a single item, the drops are all useless even at LFR.0 -
Origin✭✭✭However that rule about vet lvl dugeons not giving exp if there is a lvl gap really screws over the healer. I had a v3 v3 v14 v4. Since I was the healer and not doing significant dmg I got no exp and did not see exp bar the whole instance. I was nice and helped em not only finish it but had to explain the mechanics of a couple boss fights. I was the only person to get nothing on exp becaise to Zeni that makes sense
However, now with the content scaling the XP should be granted to all.
Unless ZoS kept this on purpose.0 -

If a product sucks or fails to live up to expectation then consumers can and should be vocal about their displeasure. There's no need to coddle developers. They are, for the most part, grown adults that should be able to deal with the feedback of the customer. If they can't handle even honest feedback from an irate consumer then they need to find a new industry because gamers won't hold back.
Honestly, I don't think he/she was harsh at all. He/she didn't personally attack or threaten any ZOS employees and his/her post was completely and entirely about the game including what can be done to improve it both suggested and implied.3 -
Daverios✭✭✭✭Thanks to the folks that left kind words. You are the folks Zeni needs to keep and not the shills who seem to lap up anything ZOS does.
Honestly if you thought I was being harsh I was honestly holding back. I must have said over a dozen times yesterday 'that a nice bug/lame design/bad concept but why am I not the least bit surprised'. Lets take the dye system as an example. Cannot dye a shield but can armor ... why does it not surprise me this was done half arsed. That kinda sums up ESO concept vs. ESO implementation something always gets lost along the way.
I can give another example. In the upcoming provosioning changes you can use food and drink. But as GinaBruno said they may have to adjust current regen stats to compensate. Great so basically to get the regen I have now I will eat top of line drinks, how exactly is that a buff? It is not, it was a good idea that was butchered before implementation. Its the ZOS way.3 -
astro74✭✭✭PS. Look no typos, because I am not typing on an Andriod right now.
I don't want to be picky but are you sure you placed the , right in this sentence?
To me it should be:
Look, no typos. It's because I'm not typing from an Android right now.
But the grammar doesn't seem right so I would suggest:
Look, no typos. I was using an Android before and the auto correction sucks.1 -
Daverios✭✭✭✭
But you missed that I misspelled "Android". I was hoping Salcious would find that and it would be the most exciting thing for them all day.

Ohioastro✭✭✭✭The sour, nasty tone of the post made it a great deal less effective than it could have been.
There are some things that could have been done better. There is such a thing as perspective - for example, realizing that, maybe, since they just put these new things in they are not in final form.0 -
poodlemasterb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭I still enjoy the game but I have to agree with you. It's a complete buggy mess. Seems like ZOS is taking lessons from Bethesda LOL. Skyrim is also a complete buggy mess (doesn't work properly without console commands), same for Fallout and Oblivion.
I believe we will see a decrease in healers. Seems like ZOS prefers DPS and Tanks
But really if thats the case I don't see the point of being a dedicated healer or buffer...
Strange. The other games you mention run flawlessly on my machine, as does ESO most of the time.
I have some 800+ hours in Skyrim, quite a bit more in ESO and I guess I'm just some kind of computer genius as it works for me just fine. I have no need to cheat and certainly noclip can be useful but I don't get "buggy mess". I think it's just a phrase the "smart" kids use.0 -
qwyksylver✭✭While i have issues playing ESO these are due to my machine (mostly) and have always been able to play skyrim with no issues, to be perfectly honest i only began having serious problems with skyrim after beginning to use the console.Kazim Udar - CP 750 Nightblade PC/NA vAA HM - vHRC HM - vSO HM - vMoL - vHoF - vAS - vCR+20 -
Goresnort✭✭✭In regards to scaled 4 man 'veteran mode' Dungeons:
(the scaled versions of dungeons that previously has a 'veteran' mode)
Mostly enjoying the new scaled group instanced dungeons.
The added difficulty is generally also nice.
However their scaling mechanic seems to have been too dependant on a generalized procedure, instead of individually tweaking each principal boss encounter, as some bosses and their abilities seems to have had 'spiked' scaling.
Certain attacks are doing dmg way over the top, some previously high Health bosses now have skewed Health pools, and adds on some bosses also have errounously much Health.
Not many bosses have these issues, but a few require some additional tweaking.
Loot/reward/risk is utterly skewed for all the vet mode Dungeons imo.
I get better and more useable loot from my hirelings and by farming Resource nodes in solo pve, then I get from doing challenging 4 man veteran Dungeon encounters.
Needing a vr14 Group with tweaked vr14 epic+ crafted set item gear, to kill certain bosses that at best drop trash vr12 epic gear with undesireable traits and bad set bonuses, is somewhat wierd ; )0
