    I don't think they ignore these threads...but I do believe they should communicate better. From what I've seen, if they fail to respond in a thread regarding something like text chat for consoles, it is because they can't fix it or the "problem" being discussed is not seen as an issue by developers.

    Ask not what your sweetroll can do for you....

    Yeah I know what you would like to see. More interaction and open discussion with devs from Zos. But the rate at which Zos can actually implement change or fix issues is so pathetic they just don't talk about it. It's been this way since pc launch and it's not about to change.

    I agree here and your probably right it might not change but if not then when ppl finally get tired of feeling ignored they will seek attention elsewhere like another mmo perhaps i love eso online it just saddens me to see the community get treated the way we do

    Those people can beg for text chat all they want but it was stated before console launch it won't happen and I seriously doubt that will ever change. Seriously adding text chatting to console versions is a terrible idea considering how long it takes to type messages in with the method we have for messaging already. Also whenever an area is super crowded such as Elden Root Services for instance the health bars over all the players flicker due to there being so many so that is something else to keep in mind.

    I do not know how clear they are truly being when they do respond but far as I can tell they do acknowledge things they wish to acknowledge. If they don't acknowledge it then oh well least you tried.

    But the real answer is most players are satisfied, a minority come here and cry all day and act like they are the majority... but it's not the case. If you look at the recent poll, 62% (over twice as many people) were happy and excited about the expansion. Only 20% were butthurt about it... But if you looked at the trending posts here? You'd have a different impression. Mostly because the same complainers are vocal and will continuously post their complaints over and over and over and chime in on every thread with the same drivel.

    Honestly, General Discussion is more or less an echo chamber for your wailing. Cry it out, love. Cry it out. But most of us are happy with the game and happy with the developers.

    Have you noticed that there is no official suggestion forum section?

    Everything evolves around discussion and discussing. So every suggestion made is just another "what if .... discuss".

    And im not really suprised if devs wouldnt look around all those topic when people cant even post threads in proper section.

    Topics about simple questions are spamming general discussion instead of "players helping players"
    PVP whines and and question about tactics like "how to kill x build" are spamming general discussion instead of being in PVP combat thread

    Dev comes into a topic and is supposed to figure out what OP really want? Not to mention cases where OP doesnt really know what he wants.

    Im not suprised.

    Btw. There is in game option /feedback or from menu -> Help -> provide feedback

    Because some parts of it are just that awesome....and it has potential to be great. It's not a one and done game like Skyrim ("I" hated that one above the others I played) This is an MMO, it has room to grow. It's just in it's infancy.
    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    Many players want a response for ZOS, I can care less about statement made from them before console lanunch. Many new players have join the community and want to hear there thought now, and it is more then just text chat. Even if the answer was that things will never change at least I would feel like there are at least looking at these forums.

    Pretty sure the community might get listened to more if it wasn't always making personal attacks against developers or acting like a bunch of whiny crying entitles children. :tongue:

    I mean let's be honest if you were working every day to create a game for people, and then the public access area about you game was as bad as this, would you want to really sit down and discuss with the players. Every time Brian Wheeler makes a post he gets trolled and insulted.

    Also not every idea that the community or the players think is a good idea will be one that ZOS of the developers think is a good idea. End of the day this is their game and they will develop it how they want.

    All that being said you can also look at this link to see Rich Lambert posting in a lot of threads to show he's been reading them.

    /lurk is a joke really.

    But I am also strongly convinced now (after reading quite a few articles) that we should recognize the fact that none of the bad things happening to the game is Zenimax Online Studios fault (including myself, i've been bashing ZoS way too much in the past). The evil behind is Zenimax Media and they are quite immune to criticism.

    I believe people at ZOS love the game as much as players do they simply can't do much.

    You can see it, for example, by how understaffed they are when it comes to Game Masters. For example i have been reporting few bots in Five Fingers Dance for over a month almost every day with detailed information (including timecoding their macro queue) and bots persisted. Meanwhile I had issues with vDSA loot issues and got (after 2 weeks) into personal conversation with a GM, I used the fact to show him Five Fingers Dance problem GM told me HE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THE ISSUE.
    And we can't blame ZoS for not employing more GM that's pure ZM.

    So post your email here and we'll all send you messages asking questions, making suggestions and generally sharing our opinion and you HAVE to reply to every single post.... In a way that pleases us all too.

    There's hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of players and a similar number of threads out there.
    There's simply no way they can provide feedback to EVERYONE and even less possibility of pleasing every player that has an issue.

    Give the developers and staff a break, so far all I have seen is negativity towards them, if the game is not what you expected, get over it and find something you do like, if the game has a bug or an issue that prevents you playing, report it, but give them time to sort the issues out, it's not a simple job.

    I love the game even though I have died more times than Tom cruise in Edge of Tomorrow :p and thank the developers for all their hard work.

    Presumably you are upset because they don't listen to you.

    There are loads of suggestions on these forums on a daily basis. Some people go to great lengths in presenting their proposals - but in the end they are just what they want, not what the game designers want.

    You see people work out elaborate details for how spell crafting or the justice system or crafting research timers could work, but it doesn't bear any relation to the reality of the game code.

    Or to put it more simply: they can't implement everyone's pet mini-project.

    It's not about what the game designers want it's about what the people that bought there game want after all we are the ones that are giving them money for it i mean if they wanted to create a game were they don't want to listen to the community why didn't they just create another single player elder scrolls game that's why it's call elder scrolls online it's a ever changing game with new updates and they should listen to the community that pays for there game

    just being curious but what makes you think you have the right to tell the game developers what should and shouldn't be in a game and how it should be developed??? you only bought the game, there wasn't a code in the box you could enter for a job at the studio! That being said there is nothing wrong with asking for things to be added or changed but demanding them is going to get you nothing.....
