I was in the Beta and have been a loyal subscriber since day 1, but I think I'm done with this game.

I only played on the weekends but wanted to support ESO so I continued to subscribe although In the last month I have had some free time so I have been playing almost everyday and have been enjoying doing pledges, PvP and Craglorn quests. I have 1 character and he is a V15 Tank, he does zero damage but was built to block. Everything was focused on blocking including the proc on the armor sets. He is also a tweaked out stamina machine focused on feeding blocking, ya know...being a Tank. ESO was the first MMO I thought finally got the Tank right and I have been playing MMO's since the first Everquest. I was actually having some fun playing this game.

Not today, today I was playing the empty green bar simulator. I have spent hundreds of dollars and probably hours at this point all for what? I still can't comprehend how someone could think that implementing a no stamina regen while blocking in this game was a good idea, less alone a team of developers and play testers. I did a respect of everything to give me max stamina and regen but didn't matter when you have taunted mobs surrounding you, and your expected to drop your block while your stamina quickly melts away. It's just plain stupid. Or you are suppose to time your blocks, that would be fine for 3 maybe 4 bosses if the net code wasn't so sloppy especially in PvP. Who seriously thought this was a good idea?

As far as the rest of the DLC it looks great, it's a shame I'm probably not going to play much of it although I'm going to give the game a few more days to see If I still enjoy it or they fix the stamina regen. As of right now though my mouse is hovering over PLEASE CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP.

    So through it all, you waited until today to make a forum account?

    How did you discuss the game in beta?

    If I had to guess I'd say one of two things is going to happen in the near future:

    1. Regen while blocking will be upped to 50% or so. 0% just seems too much and ZOS is more of a hammer than a scalpel when it comes to nerfs and changes.

    2. Increased reductions in cost while blocking may be something they try also before doing #1.

    I'm giving ZOS two weeks to fix the horrible load screen failure. If they haven't fixed it, or even *ADMITTED* it's a problem, I'm cancelling my sub. You can't have my gold because I'll still play the game, I just won't be sending $$$ so I can beta test their bug farm for them. This "patch" was the New Coke of code, a horrible idea that should quickly be yanked and replaced with what consumers preferred. Maybe they'll get a clue if enough of us stop sending them money. Maybe.

    If you keep playing, you're just enriching the game for those who do pay. Even a person playing free adds value to the game, as subscribers will have an extra person to play with. :)

    My load screen times are the same... maybe invest in an SSD?
