At least give us the option to disable everything individually. Then everybody wins

Maps in all mmorpgs give way too much info, ESO included. That being said I've played my entire time with the button that shows everything off.

If OP was a troll, skip to the very bottom with the bold text.

I like how the option in the poll you support has a positive connotation attached to it, while the other - which I'd guess you don't support - has a negative. Really nice and encouraging Might explain why the pole has more 'the poll is rigged' than anything else.

I remember the good old days when you had to pour over the NPC's conversations in order to make sure you got the clues to find the objectives to complete quests or information needed to lead to other quests.

Turning off the quest markers isn't really an option because that just puts you at a disadvantage compared to everyone else who is zooming past you in levels bc they just spam "E" and run to the next arrow or circle.

But I thought the whole point of having no quest markers was so you could enjoy the journey and all that? Going under that assumption (please correct me if I'm wrong), then how'd you come across the whole 'puts you at a disadvantage in relation to other players'?

Also about your good old days - there is google now. The solution wouldn't work very well.

Also just having an option to turn them off doesn't help when the text isn't sufficient to find the next objective, usually its far to vague.

I think a better solution would be to just flesh out the quest text more. That way, people who want to discover quests can do so, and those who want to just sprint through them can also do it their way. Admittedly this would not fix the whole 'that person is leveling faster', but

1) It's 2am and I dont' want to think
2) It's really, really difficult, considering this is an MMO, and imo not worth the trouble. You're asking for two things that don't at all go well together - not wanting to be outleveled by people who level really fast, and wanting to enjoy make the journey take longer/more 'effort' in the form of reading, maybe screenshotting and rereading again the quest text (lengthened by the fact that you'll have to take time to figure out the other stuffs in the quest).

I suppose, but its like offering high octane for a race as well as regular, ofc everyone's going to use the high octane, even if it does make the engine wear down faster.

If you press 'm', then look to your right, you see a bar with four buttons along the top. Click the third one to the right and you can disable pretty much all map markers.



Personally, I like quest markers. I'm not the best with maps or finding stuff, so they're a boon to me. I enjoy, as I always put it when appropriate, 'playing the game instead of wandering around, rereading and trying to find out where to go in order to play the game'.

In conclusion, 10/10 would be trolled again. Was mildly interesting.

So, the only people welcome in your world are the ones who are just like you?

Personally, I get lost easily and like quest markers. Morrowind nearly drove me bonkers looking for places and things. I don't consider myself lazy because I use them. I also feel no need at all to "keep up" with anyone else.

Someone has a future as a professional pollster...


Togglable trackers would be nice, but I refuse to play a payed MMO where I get "Metroid stuck."

first of all directed at OP

having a poll saying this:
No, I am extremely lazy and want everything handed to me keep quest markers.
then you already judging people for being lacy, just because they like it, thats kinda harsh aint it? and might even not be the reason they like them...

Yes, I want to be able to enjoy the game and interact more with others by figuring out quests with no markers.
again you put your own reasons in the poll...

if you want to stay objective and want a real poll you should just had writing
Yes, explain why in thread
No, explain why in thread
Other, explain why in thread

that way you dont force your own agenda into the poll



so thats why I voted rigged....

no.
dialogs in this game are too boring(unlike skyrim), i would not stand listening to all of them.

No, I would like to play the content, not constantly have to solve where in the world is carmen san diego

I am 100% for toggle-able trackers. I really wish ESO has this. I can't imagine it would be a hard thing to add.

I think you can turn off the quest markers...

Levelling Venn diagrams directly into all of the aforementioned.

Edit: Also, people can level alts by grinding mobs, it's easy.

Yes because everyone should just have to grind mobs, because you want everyone to play with no quest markers because that suits you more.

Back in the days maps in RPGs and MMOs had to be drawn by hand, so while playing you actually wrote down notes on a piece if cow skin.

That was great fun but todays gamers want it easy sadly

All removing would do is get people to follow quest guides from third-party sites. I used to play Runescape (a game with no quest arrows, at least when I played, don't know now) and all 95% of the people did was go back and forth between the game screen and a guide.

This would likely result in the same thing, thus taking players away from the game as they go back and forth, and just cause a plethora of inconvenience, no, not fun or a sense of exploration just mundane, unnecessary inconvenience.
