A very small portion of the playerbase actually visits this site. I'm not saying don't believe what you read/see but it is the internet, take it all w/ a grain of salt.

I've been playing daily since xbox 1 release and don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Just became sucked back in by leveling a new character mainly for pvp and wrecking faces.

I'd give them a B as far as my opinion goes. I haven't been around as long as the beta players and I'd assume their opinion would be C or D because they've been around longer.

Also, keep in mind a lot of BA games just came out and more will come, people are aloud to take breaks and come back if they please.

Honestly, I love the combat in this game, it's the reason I still play it, but I find myself logging out more often nowadays because there's just nothing to do. I run around cyrodiil and IC for the fights, I love fighting other players, but I either run into a zerg, really bad players I can 1v10, or no one at all. It's just not as satisfying as it was before, one thing I really enjoy doing now is dueling, but when those guys leave, it kinda goes back to the way it was. I feel like the thing this game really needs is structured pvp, or a bit more structure to it's current PvP, cause the current system clearly is not working as an incentive to PvP.

TL; DR There's so much to do, and all of it is kind of menial at the moment.

From the PVE side, I feel a little overwhelmed to be honest -- so much content to do, but not enough hours in a day to do it all. I think the new Thieves guild (justice system part II??) and Dark Brotherhood hits, there will be more structured to PVP.

Well judging after pvp population on EU perhaps its not dying but its pretty close to that. Only 1 campaign is locked in prime time and others are quite far from it. Dont even ask about off time.

i vote for a just read the forums
90% = pvp players complaining

@k9mouse -.-

Well

Endgame gear is hard to get, harder if you have DLC and you want looted sets and not crafted ones.

I advice you to not try to "catch" up, take your time and enjoy the game. You will hit a wall of depression if you try to catch up, because after the lvl grind comes the gear grind, after that CP cap grind, after that all the new fancy styles, new achievements, pvp grind for unlocking good skills, lorebook grind to get meteor ultimate unlocked, skyshard hunting to get enough skillpoints for crafting, undaunted xp for the undaunted passives grind, omg you don't have the armor dye from the new hardest dungeon in game blablablablah the list goes on.

We get new players everyday, and if you socialize a little and collect some active players as friends, join active guilds and learn basics of economy - you will do just fine.

The forums might give a very negative impression of the game/ playerbase, however the majority of the players are having fun playing ESO, despite the problems that get talked about here and more.

If possible, take a look at this group here, their videos are fun and is a good example of how fun this game can be, once you start doing group play and veteran content.

...and this video is from PvP in DLC area (it's not from the same group as above. This guy is also a good duelist in ESO, and not everyone can pull off what he does, but it is still inspiring and fun to watch)

Edit: for some reason my links worked O.o

Not been to Cyrodiil tonight but the lag recently has been bad, huge delay on button presses when there is a lot going on making it very difficult to fight effectively, getting shot with arrows/spells after passing through a keep door, and NPCs still standing up for for a couple of seconds after they have been killed, then falling over. It really chugs sometimes, the performance definitely seems worse lately than it used to be.

@failkiwib16_ESO

Thanks for the good words, kind sir. I have been here since beta. I came from a single player background and ESO is my 1st "real" MMO that I put any amount of time in. I have six VR16s, one VR14.5 and one level 17. I do have some active guilds and good people in them. However, they are more focus on PVP then I am. I really do enjoy grinding and yes I am an oddball in that regard. I would to find someone who want to hunt, farm and grind with me everyday with chars in every faction. Finding such a person is hard.

the only people who think/say PVP is "dieing" are the ones who want a Team Deathmatch and/or 1vs1 Mortal Kombat PVP, instead of the large scale PVP the game was designed for.
