Everything about TESO seems buggy

qsnoopyjr · June 2015

The gameplay feels buggy
The add-ons feel buggy
Even the help sites feel buggy.

ESO wiki is fextralife? Why doesn't it make its own wiki like GW2, make the site much more safer and less buggy?
Too much of those animations and stuff just make sites buggy too, the ESO sites have way too much of them compared to the GW2 sites.

You guys ever heard of www.answers.com? That site is buggy as heck too. I feel like ESO sites are like www.answer.com, super slow and feel like your getting viruses at the same time. Even the add-ons feel a lil buggy at times, they just so sketchy feeling and all that nonsense stuff happening like the MM addon, to disable you need to disable like 15 addons at once.

This game should've just been all together, people shouldn't be making add-ons to help with gameplay and market value. GW2 has a website for market value (year long worth). Pretty sad how this game has to rely on people to do add-ons which makes game feel buggy and like your getting a virus and just unsafe.

I honestly cannot count the amount of times I've crashed playing ESO and to be honest, when applications crash it does affect computer performance.
All these funky websites I have to rely on, to know how to do certain things too, why all those sites feel so buggy?

Look at GW2 websites and compare the performance and ease to TESO.

While Guild Wars 2, perfectly normal. GW2 wiki perfectly normal. GW2 meta builds perfectly normal site.

I wish this game had a website like
http://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki

Straight to the point. The best PvE build. The best PvP build.
Compilation of builds in 1 spot.
Confirmation that a certain build is still good (build has been updated xx days ago)
None of those annoying popups.
None of those annoying background animations
Straight to the fricking point without hindering website performance.

Even the GW2 wiki straight to the point without hindering website performance.
...

ESO??
Have to include all them website performance hinderance.
All these annoying not important animations going all over place.
Websites are so slow you feel like your getting a virus just going to them.

..
Pretty much same thing with gameplay.
GW2, smooth, no lag unless 3 different worlds (alliances) zergs are clashing. NEVER crashed ever. NPCs and everything ALWAYS show. Never had a loading screen. Even AFTER big patches I'd be in game within a few seconds (none of that long loading after patch).
TESO?? Just like the websites that support it.. Too many annoying animations going on. NOT straight to point, all those website hindering performance things happening... CRASHES. TESO notorious for crashing. Then you got these silly add-ons, funky and everything, gives you feeling you got a virus. Then the NPCs not showing? Just like the websites that support it, sometimes those stupid animations/pictures just lag out and never appear.

BTW
I hate that website www.answers.com.
I hate websites that have powerpoint presentation of something. Or you have to click next to see the next thing. Annoying websites....
Like you lag 1 min you can see what you wanted to learn about. While all these silly animations going on in the background. Click next, crashes for a second than all these silly animations appear again and scrolling down screen lagging. Just dumb. I don't goto sites like those, not even if they got something I'm really curious about. Virus city are what those sites are.

..
ESO did not do a bunch of things right.
One of them is they didn't make there own wiki site.
Another thing, they should've hosted add-ons through there site, and to be able to use the add-ons in game it has to be approved by them.. They could control the 'website performance' of there add-ons and make them feel more safe too.
Because add-ons people are sketchy about them, but what makes them even more sketchy is going to those sketchy websites, and having multiple websites that you can goto and all of them are just as sketchy..

Kind of like hunting down an emulater and hunting down the ROMs.. Nothing but a bunch of sketchy sites you gotta go through to get them.

Lastly,
I made this thread because my game crashed because I went to look up
http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Glyph+of+Health
Trifling Gylph of Health.
Went to close the window... Didn't want to close. What a sketchy site. All them animations running hindered my computer performance.
My computer has enough computer performance hindrance just by playing the game itself!
No addons on, everything lowest settings (game suggest I play everything on High)... Crashed. No error or anything, just straight to the login screen, I wasn't in game for only 1 to 2 minutes too.

Seems you miss GW2,

ESO is a relatively new game compared to GW2 and also a muuuuuuuuuuch nicer game to play,

YES there are bugs that frustrate me too but i wouldn't even consider going back to GW2.

What exactly do you expect from player created sites. It is awesome enough that those people took their time to do them in the first place.

The game does not need any addons. It works as designed, but they went to the trouble of publishing an API for people to use to make addons with so you can customise the UI. The sites you mention are not maintained by the ESO developers

Try getting a better browser or adblock

Really you could have just complained that the game crashes because that's the only valid thing you've said. It won't break your computer though, it's not really crashing like a car, we have operating systems that can handle processes crashing these days

Don't have problem with bugs in-game apart from loading screen.

Addon and help sites are made by the community. Contribute.

Websites are not slow for me - maybe your computer?

Don't play GW2 - never have, never will so cannot comment.

GW2 has an official wiki that is kept reasonably up to date and is tremendously helpful for all players, and it has been that way since beta.

I think an official wiki would likewise be very helpful for ESO players, and would love to see it. It would certainly be better than relying on third-party sites or googling for answers and being bombarded with old, out-of-date information from April, 2014.

While I am a fan of both games and wouldn't want ESO to become a GW2 clone, there are quite a few things GW2 has that would make ESO a much better game, and I wouldn't mind seeing them "creatively borrow".

Hopefully that wouldn't include the tons of bugs GW2 has that have been there since beta, and I think both ZOS and ArenaNet need to take steps to incorporate quality assurance in all aspects of development, rather than as something tacked on at the end and given low priority, as seems to be the case now.

The stock excuse given for bugs in MMOs is that they're complicated. I suggest that is the very reason more effort needs to be devoted to QA throughout the entire process.

The typical strategy of committing code changes, making new builds, sending them to QA, expecting them to find all the problems before prematurely going live, then putting bug fixes on the back burner while working on more new code just doesn't cut it anymore.
