"I Love This Game"

v3ng3anc3420 · June 2015

So iv been reading over some posts on th fourms and seeing alot of mixed opinions on diffrent aspects of the game and i realized it must SUCK to be a dev. I could not put so much work into something and then see so many people trash it. I realize the devs cant make everyone happy, whats great about the game for some players is the same thing thats wrong to another playerYou cant ever please everyone. I just wanna say I LOVE THIS GAME .

Banky71 · June 2015

I like the game. Love is a pretty strong word that I don't throw around.

Shunravi · June 2015

I enjoy the game. Ive spent a year playing it even. That doenst mean im not critical of it.

sadownik · June 2015

How many people i saw posting almost exactly same posts in first month of pc ESO. And how many of them started soon to a) dissapear from forums b) bumped on some issues themselves and started posting messages "ZOS i love your game but.."
c) lucky few still post to this day "I know that... but i still enjoy that game".

Wonder to which category will you fall?

Please understand that we don't come onto these forums to simply sing the praises of how awesome this game is. Many of us go on here to report problems and issues and to ask questions and get information. If you feel there is a certain degree of negativity you are not mistaken, but that doesn't mean that we don't also love this game, it just means we want to see it become better. It will always have room for improvement. Don't discount our legitimate complaints and concerns as simply hatred.

Well said sir.

Seriously, I love this game. I play it every single day - purchased the PS4 transfer even though I don't plan on completely switching to PS4 it was (and is) awesome to check out.

I love getting right into the stories and feeling like I'm that hero. I also love meeting all kinds of people and making new friends. oh goodness, and actually playing the game I love with friends - running dungeons etc. As well love how helpful (and patient) people are.

Oh, and I love fishing.

I would assume the devs know what is actual criticism, and people just being trolls. We need people to come and complain about things that need to be fix. if not the devs wouldnt know what actually needs to be worked on, or what needs to be fix, like bugs/glitches. When people come in here and complain more often than not its because they like the game and want it to improve, they want the game they paid for!

You can like a game and see what type of work needs to be improved on, just giving them praise just for the sake of it is wrong because it makes it seems like they dont need to do anything on this game once its released!

Locket · June 2015

You also got to take into account how many people don't even come to the forums. I think a lot of people that have issues come to the forums to voice them. The majority of people here are probably angry players, above casual players, and slightly below hardcore and hardcore players. I'd be willing to bet that the larger percentage of players don't even come here.

v3ng3anc3420 · June 2015

Im not saying if you dont agree with me your wrong im sure there are plenty of problems with the game im just simply saying i dont envy the devs and giving my opinion .Sorry if i offended anyone by saying this is my favorite game.

CHill mate its great that you like it. Just you must understand that problems left unsolved for months do not make customers happy.

Apology not accepted! Just kidding.

mrskinskull · June 2015

Can we get back on topic?
Please?

Ahem...
I love this game!

Its awesome.

Yeah there's a few bugs, and theres a 15 gig bug swatter down loading slowly but surely.
So. I repeat. I love this game.

I'm having a great time and yeah the forum posts can be a bit negative.

All the negativity just make you want to scream it so loud maybe some zos developer will hear it and not feel so beaten down by the people they wanted to please.

Sure reporting bugs is important, but we both know there's a lot of sour grapes here.
Again great thread.
The community needs more of this and less of the other toxicity.

Cheers.

Very well put.

There are people from other game companies that have a job to post negative trash in competing games forums (and social media)... not saying that is every negative post here, I'm just giving some perspective on how hard-core the competition is between rival game co's. You think it's some random hack in his mom's basement running DDOS attacks 24 hrs a day on new mmo launches? If you think that you are being naïve.

Careful, suddenly you come to conclusion that "not every post here" means that most are.

UrQuan · June 2015

OK, I'll play.

I love this game. I've been playing since PC launch, and it's rare for there to be a day when I don't feel like playing, even if only for a little while (of course that doesn't mean that I actually do play every single day that I feel like it - work and the rest of my real life sometimes means that's just not feasible). Unless things go severely down hill I foresee myself continuing to play for a long time (although there are a handful of specific things that, if ZOS does them, would get me to quit immediately).

I used to play a lot with a handful of my real life friends, but it's often hard for us to get online at the same time these days, so that doesn't happen as much as it used to. Happily, around the beginning of this year, thanks to a fellow active forum poster, I found a guild that I really like, and I've been enjoying participating in various guild events, and just chatting with the cool folks in the guild in guild chat while I do solo questing. I've definitely been enjoying the social aspect of it as I enjoy the gameplay.

Having said that, there are problems with the game. There have been since launch, and there will continue to be problems probably for the life of the game. Some of the problems are bugs (some of which may have easy fixes, and some of which may be almost impossible to fix). Some of the problems are balance and/or philosophy issues.

I feel like, as a supporter of the game, it's perfectly reasonable to bring up the problems I see with it, and I think that a lot of other forum posters feel the same way. A problem that I see with a large number of the folks on the forums, though, is that many of them are too immature to bring things up with any amount of insight beyond "Fix your game ZOS, u sux!" naturally, that kind of post is counter-productive and makes the signal-to-noise ratio of the forums terrible.

People who bring up issues with the game in a mature fashion should be applauded. People who are just negative for the sake of being negative should be lambasted.

GreySix · June 2015

I love my wife.

On occasion, I derive some enjoyment from playing this game.

Yes, indeed. Like an informant told me they come from Mars, are payed by Putin, and just play this game for months to make troll attacks on this compaiy, like going into forum and critize that in these months reported bugs aren't fixed. Only payed rival game co's could act so shameless. Well-informed insiders located their center in the Kreml in Moscow, or maybe elsewhere, at least they maybe for sure green if they exist, but ...psssst.

world is getting better by point at bad things; good thing... humans just like enjoy it. this is apply to the open world too

i also love the game, in the same way i hate it: eso is an hudge game, is almost impossible to agree or disagree such a complex universe, i just keep it the way it is, with good and bad: now good have much much weight, becouse of all those complain, that make eso the game is it.
on my side, i think zos have most of the best game programmers, they make the game running with a very limitated resource,
bucause some time behind there could be discutible marketing choice or just a bad economy time.

anyway love is a noble sentiment; i apreciated your title; unfortunately we live in a world ruled by hate and wars.

IrishGirlGamer · June 2015

Zenimax, I won't say I love your game.

I have enjoyed my time with ESO. I play ESO less and less now with each passing week, though, but that really has nothing to do with the game.

Anyway, so some people are getting tired of negative comments? Yes, I suppose there's a bit of that on this forum (and on every game forum).

I, on the other hand, am getting a little tired of some fans acting as if Zenimax Online, and their parent company, Bethesda Softworks, are a couple of modders working for free in their basement. You know? Just a couple of nice people who, without regular encouragement, will labor away in their spare time, after work and late at night, sacrificing their lives and resources for the betterment of the online gaming community - and not a company which has made enough in pure profits off of some of its titles to feed every man, woman and child in a third world country for a week.

It's not as if we paid for the game, right? It's not as if I, personally, have had a constant, unbroken subscription to ESO since before June 1, 2014, which means I've paid approximately $250.00 for my ESO gaming experience.

So, Zenimax, if I don't gush all over you and tell you how much I love your game, it's because I've already done that with my credit card.

And somehow I suspect you appreciate that kind of love so much more.

olemanwinter · June 2015

I loved this game when I started. My opinion soured somewhat upon reaching the end game. I still like the game, but I can also objectively look at it and see lots of problems, I can recognize it has some FUNDAMENTAL flaws.

coryevans_3b14_ESO · June 2015

Can't believe noone has said this yet....so I will.

I love lamp.

phairdon · June 2015

Such is life. No different for anyone working with the public. Customers are always very quick to point out the negative. Very few praise the positive.

Just a thought, but few folks come to the ESO forums to praise the game.

Those folks are busy playing, instead of wasting time posting about how much fun they'd otherwise have playing.

All good, when I was 14 days into the game I loved it too. I like it now, just tired of having to do work a rounds all the time.

I read the posts here.
I read many posts in other sections of the forums.

There are two types of complaints.
The first complaint is the one where the poster complains about a feature in the game and then offers a suggestion to fix the mentioned problem. These complaints I don't mind reading and will, on occasion, respond to.

The second complaint comes from the entitlement side of society. Those who believe because you pay for a game, the developers should bow to your every whim and suggestion. It is these complaints that I find the most humorous.

I often wonder if people truly realize the intensity of the game they are playing. How much man hours went into even the most beginning area. How it keeps persistent data. The fact that you can call a horse, it appears, and you can ride it across the plains. Crafting your own gear that changes your character look when you wear it. Multiples races with unique traits and looks. The many skills and their individual graphical displays. Monsters with AI. The ability to pit your character against another character. Swimming, fishing, riding, falling damage, distance rendering, moon phases, player vampires, player werewolves, weather, alliance wars... This list goes on. And in all of this, it is multi-user.

As a programmer, I greatly appreciate all the work that has been put into this game. I appreciate the fact that they are maintaining the software and improving upon it. I don't expect these things, and I welcome every attempt made.

So, I make this suggestion for anyone wanting to express a complaint or dissatisfaction. They did not make the game for YOU. If you do not spend another dime, it will still be here and others will still play it. Just because you pay the subscription, doesn't mean they work for you. It means you get the perks you pay for, nothing more. If you want something changed, offer a suggestion and let others weigh in on it. Intelligent, thoughtful criticism will carry more weight, and has the greatest chance of being implemented.

And I happen to think that this is the greatest game I own, thus I love it more than my other games.

Love it when someone tells folks they're a programmer and says that they get it.
