• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Should there be an auto consume feature added to food and drink?

    I have a stack of addons. A pile that are running are out of date. I have had addons since the game was beta. I have had perhaps 3 crashes since early release.

    It's the various machines that are pretty well always at fault.

    Not according to Zenimax. But feel free to argue the point with them.

    You'll do. These are simple lua scripts that access the API. The API is designed to expose just what they want exposed. A script running against an API really should be pretty bulletproof, assuming the API is well implemented. It has been bulletproof on my machine which leads me to suspect it is well done.

    Now machines that are normally misconfigured, Windows machines, and have _stuff_ running in the background can be pretty shaky platforms for a complex game. My Windose installation just plays games and I will boot into it just before I play. There is also little happening there as that's all it does, play games. I do think that's where most crashes come from, marginal machinery too, is often not stable.

    Yes, either as a right click option or a specific slot.

    Your argument would make sense if all MMOs had this many problems with stability, but they don't. We can therefore deduce that whatever the cause, something is awry with the ESO code.

    It may be a problem with the way that the ESO client interacts with certain hardware configurations. But is this the fault of those computers? No, it isn't, because again not all games are having this many issues.

    I understand what you are saying, and I do realize the complexity of games (particularly online ones, and particularly MMOs), but the other games out there just aren't experiencing so many technical issues.

    Erm, how about an auto-play feature as well?

    My thoughts on the direction it's going to, seems they just want the loot and not have to play the game to get it :blush:

    Are gamers really getting so lazy these days that they cannot be bothered to click a food item once every 1-2 hours?

    Not only that, but so stupid that they want to have the game constantly using their food reserves, even if they just log on to craft or do some research.
    Who cares? It's not exactly difficult or expensive to make food. I have stacks of this stuff. Why are you acting like it's a rare precious resource?

    Except when the game decides to start using your purple foodstuffs. And I'm spread across several different characters, the game might go through a dozen feedings before I'm playing that character properly again.

    Yes, I get that for those who focus on one character at a time it's no big deal, but for me keeping track on the buffs is just as easy.

    The game eats your food? I have a full slate myself and the game never ate my food.

    My Provisioner, a 5 star chef, keeps us all in food. From my VR9 Vampire Witch and my son with his VR10 NB, who eat Consummate whatever, he has em' all, to my VR 18 Enchanter/Alchemist who eats blue food these days. He can make so much that my Vampire Witch just needed 50g and sold 10 Consummate Honey Brittle for it. I thought 'boy a lot of people would consider that nuts'. ;)

    If you can't look at your timer, FTC provides one, then maybe you deserve to run out.

    Um have you read the title of the thread and the OP.

    Ok, I misunderstood what the OP was asking for, but my misunderstanding wasn't that bad. Now if you had read the thread, you would have seen where I was coming from.
