What in ESO has made you want to stop playing?

VinnyTheShill · July 2015

Playing as Dominion was disappointing but there were some other deal breakers for me. Several broken quests, disappointing alliance story, greedy community, NO AUCTION HOUSE, terrible group system, feeling very limited on ability use, lack of housing, not being able to chat with a keyboard, Vampire and Werewolf bites, the champion/veteran afterthought, disappointing guild system, and a feeling of helplessness about one quest in particular...

The Prisoner of Jathsogur.

If you haven't played dominion here is the quick version: its a broken mission with a terribly annoying voice over and it shows exactly how awful the ps4 community can be.

"I can see my prison! The fortress on the hill, come up..."

It is the new Navi- "Hey, listen!"... I swear it's like we all have PTSD.

I even hear it in my dreams. I wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night and run to check and see if the tower is empty. Of course there is always a room full of people who just want the suffering to end (along with a few trolls reported dozens of times).

All day. On two different characters. Every time I hear it I come closer to throwing my ps4.

This post isn't here to beg someone to fix it. It's more of a support group for those going through the same emotional pain and suffering that I have endured.

At least it isn't another post about Werewolf and Vampire bites... (Oh, wait)

Obviously this is all me just complaining. The game is self has been fun and the continuation is much appreciated. It has been far more interesting on the other alliances. Champion system is a bonus but seems weak.

This being said I still do actually play and enjoy the game.

But seriously... We aren't seeing any improvements any time soon. Might as well complain while we still remember this game.

VinnyTheShill · July 2015

Also, this is my own fault but I am lost when it comes to pvp and the different campaigns. Something that might make the game more fun if I put in the effort to participate.

Poor client performance.

Psychobunni · July 2015

People I played with more than average leaving, the things that made them leave and being asked if I know anything about why (enter player here) hasn't logged in weeks.

It's depressing and just sad

[Deleted User] · July 2015

The user and all related content has been deleted.

Mitchblue · July 2015

No add on's, and text chat - obviously.

Sausage · July 2015

Nothing hasnt pushed me over the edge yet, theres some annoying stuff, and sure Ive gotten some boredom moments, but usually 2-6 week (Id pay anything for extended enlightment bank) break does the trick and Im back at the full force.

Gidorick · July 2015

Honestly.... lack of underwater mechanics, fire horses, ice horses, and wedding dresses.

All petty things, I know.

global_gbb16_ESO · July 2015

For me its just the same old.. no new content so I might login once in a blue moon to do some pvp.

Game is now stale.. the "eso universe" has hit a brick wall.

Releasing it to the console player base has only given them some limited time at best, soon they will get to VR14/16 whatever - explore most of the content and you then have a very irate user base who get a lot more media attention than what the PC player base does.

Mighty_oakk · July 2015

Text chat mainly - i find myself playing less and less everyday

VinnyTheShill · July 2015

At least we have Fallout 4 to complain about soon...

eagardh_ESO · July 2015

The Elder Scrolls games are on the dark side of things, but the Devs try to not let it be called evil, just pass it off as "another option" kind of thing. Being openminded is cool and all. In Skyrim I could avoid anything I thought was too evil for my preferences, but not here in ESO.

To me the game ESO is overwhelmingly evil, and in so many obvious and also in subtle ways. Soul Gems... got to be the most evil system of mana/power management I ever saw in a video game, and it's downright impossible to avoid using them in ESO. Sorcerer's pets only deadra (who we are supposedly trying to fight), the skills themselves of most classes (don't need to be a Vamp when you are a NB, the standard self heal IMO is just a vampire skill), our status as a "soul shriven", too much emphasis on vampire and werewolf, as well as many others too numerous to list.

I tried to give this game a good go at it, tried to be open minded... the game has it's fun parts for sure... but to me evil is evil no matter what dress it wears. Evil sexy is still evil and I have no taste for it. I even tried playing just Templars but even that feels like I am just pretending to be good. I don't want to just pretend to be a good guy in a video game, I want my character to be a good guy, not just "another kind of evil".

That is why I hardly play at all anymore and have given up any desire to make it anywhere near 50.

ChingChangChui · July 2015

The glitched missions; "I can see my prison, the fortress on the hill. Come up"
The constant solo grind.
The lack of communication. Ie: no text chat.
Area chat; is silly. There's ALWAYS people trolling and being inappropriate. I do have ears... So chill out.
Lack of volume controls to turn others up and down so each person is at an acceptable volume.

Aneima · July 2015

The nerf to nights silence and vampires dark stalker passive not stacking anymore was my first annoyance.

I never really cared for the justice system update.

The armor seems a bit bland.

Loading screens ingame when you don't even leave a city.

Problems with downloading patches when the game worked perfectly fine for me before.(Webget request failed)

What erks me more than anything is when my time and ingame gold is wasted due to changes a company makes in the latter part of a game when it should have just been implemented from the start. The nerf to hireling legendary materials is a perfect example of why I quit playing.

pjwb16_ESO · July 2015

Lag, Nerfs because people dont know how to play properly, alot things fo 1.6 falling under the point of those nerfs

Tolmos · July 2015

Champion Points in the non-vet PvP zones. That is really, REALLY frustrating sometimes. I joined non-vet because I wanted low level PvP that wasn't watered down by the progression antics of high level characters... but then you run across that character with impossible stats who laughs at your pitiful existence as you and 2 other noobs try to down them and you're like "ahhh... so this is what hopelessness feels like." =D

Once or twice it broke my spirit, but I'm still hanging in there.

The lack of xp gains in PvP didn't help a lot either.

...

Maybe I should avoid PvP lol

VinnyTheShill · July 2015

Impossible trophies. Or at least ones that aren't worth the effort.

VinnyTheShill · July 2015

^ IE- Emperor/Fishing

VilhelmValhalla4 · July 2015

The lack of freedom (class selection, exploring the provinces, etc)

Immersion constantly broken by players with silly names wearing multicolored armor.

Poor performance

Glitches (dead bodies in cities, crashes)

Boring story forced on me

The fact that the sky always seems to be cloudy no matter where I am

I keep trying to get into it, and I don't know if the fact that its an MMO is topping me, but I feel no connection to the world, no real consequences, no freedom to do what I want. Many people say that later game content is where its at, but I cant even bring myself to trudge through to that point.

The awkward moment you make some decent character names and they force you to use your ps4 name. I love having to quest next to pwnsurmom420.

Sigh...

And then they have the nerve to tell us that a name is already taken...

you understand trophies mean absolutely nothing right? not knocking you or anything, but to dislike a game for making a imaginary reward hard to get seems odd to me.

Rakshat · July 2015

Let's see:

removal of forward camps
people running around in zergs spamming healing springs and impulse
dying to invisible veils and banners because client can't be bothered to render all the visual effects because, again, zergs
grind
new ultimate generation system
burning oils no longer working on ground
poor performance in cyro
random crashes
keep doors not working
grind
nerfing certain abilities into uselessness because 'nerf' apparently means 'annihilate' to zos
half of the abilities hitting for half of your health
entire CP system
more grind
certain bugs taking over a year to fix
zos doing the exact opposite of what they promise they're gonna do
people complaining just for the sake of complaining
no variety to pvp, not even dueling option
PVE

I'm sure I missed a few things but that's what comes to mind at the moment.

Agree with everything. I bought the game for PvP. PvP slowly got worse and worse. I left.

The end game PvE is so lackluster that I tried it for a week and got bored. Really, once most people are done the main story, the game will be shelved in a week or two.

Xendyn · July 2015

Lack of options for UI, lack of improvements for QOL issues (bank and stores and guilds) I know we have addons but seeing as how whenever there are game issues, first thing you're told is to turn them off...wouldn't it be better to just have this stuff built into the game?
VR leveling. Every time I think about going thru the same quests in Silver and Gold yet again for my next character....bleh.
So there he sits at VR1

I was just adding to the list. I usually 100% games like this but something tells me I'm not going to be getting that completionist ps4 trophy.

Kills me when I see that haha. I have some decent names... Mage-Breaker, Slithers-And-Heals, Runt Ingot. Too bad people are stuck looking at my ps4 name. At least it isn't that bad.

JacksonCarter13 · July 2015

This thread needs to stop.... Not specific bunch of qqing yea there are problems. You literally say in the op might as well Complain now... Really.... You have nothing better to do then complain how about FEEDBACK and some sort of constructive criticism. Wow man

Oh and all those trophies you say are impossible I have them all so not impossible. I'm just about to finish black market mogul make 1 million gold selling to the fence so just no.
