Just seems odd unless the console pop isn't as large as expected or dropping off faster than expected.

✭Or they just fixed the issue with several days delay before purchased crowns appeared in-game, so they do not need a hundred of CS employees to apologize to angry whales. Must have been horribly expensive glitch. The programmer should have been let go too.0 -
Mighty_oakk✭✭✭✭✭Well on ps4 20% of players have completed the lvl 30 quest. That doent include everyone who quit after 30...

That , that is a low stat. Had no idea it tracked that , much less that low.
Even just barely playing on and off for a month it's hard not to be over 30 , as 1-50 is extremely fast before the VR levels kick in.0 -
Honestly, nothing makes me won't to play this game.
I really like the lore, the graphics, but the game is a huge single player game, which kills the play with others aspect until you reach high levels, I don't know.
I didn't feel engaged enough, maybe it's me, whok nows.1 -

ThatNeonZebraAgain✭✭✭✭✭The top comment on the article pretty much sums it up:My sympathy to those affected, assuming the rumours are true.
It takes a lot less people to maintain a game once it has been developed or had its initial conversion to a different platform. It's the norm for companies to take on a lot of staff (often contractors rather than employees) in the run up to launch or conversion and then lay a fair few of them off soon after. That's true not just in relation to the development team but also the community support team too.
That may be what this is about, which won't stop ESO's haters from claiming it underlines their trolling that the game is dying. I believe that to be far from the truth, both from the number of players in-game and also the increase in forum activity. I was looking the other day for an update on a post from earlier the same day and had to go back 5 pages to find it, and that wasn't the first page with that day's posts on it. The game is very much alive.Gore-of-the-Forest Argonian Nightblade

Its in your trophy achievments on psn.
All the psn achievments have the % of players who have received the achievment on ps.
Another fun one is 2% of players have completed their starting factions 5 dungeons.1 -

I'm testing that now. And it appears to be possible. I might have to do the final quest when I get to 50. But so far, as I go from area to area, they act like I've done the prior quests.Quasim ibn-Muhammad - VR 12 Redguard Dragon Knight

Malediktus✭✭✭✭I am not suprised consoles are doing badly. No text chat. No addons.
Especially having no addons makes the game annoying to play because you lack so many vital things without addons. Zenimax should look at the best/most popular addons and include them in their game.Edited by Malediktus on August 20, 2015 1:25AM@Malediktus --- Ebonheart Pact, EU-Megaserver0 -

✭BTW, soon after ESO launched. Massively ran a similar article. ZoS called it "repeating an internet rumor" if I remember right.

If you don't complete the main quest, you can't go to the next faction's area.
So coldharbour would be the only place to get xp as you'd be too high to get it anywhere else.

you can lvl till v2 in coldharbor it´ll then take ages to get to v3 (~20xp per zombi) and next to impossible to gain any further lvls without completing the lvl 50 main quest to proced to cadwell silver/gold areas as your only access to mobs of your lvl would be the dailyquest vet dungeons and cyrodiil dungeons wich can be a pain in the ass to lvl with.
so you can become v14/16 without completing the mainquest arc but its highly uncommon and nothing the casual player would do.spelling and grammar errors are free to be abused
