Should Zos make ESO a single player game?

    I just wish they fix the collision detection...

    Anyway, it would be nice if there was an option to play through it in single player. Mind you the PvP nerfs cover PvE so you'd still get stomped on due to how terrible it has been managed. It has to be an mmo cause you need other people to cover your weaknesses. It forces you to.

    For someone like me who can barely manage on my own and cannot work with other people because of wasting 50 levels to "get to know my character" and fluffing up my choice of abilities and move sets that cannot work in a group, let's just say that I've lost faith in this game.

    I realise that MMOs are not for me. Especially since I mostly have to solo and survive. Rng is a joke too. No matter how many DLC's are churned out, it won't cover the fact that in order to complete certain things you must group up. There are not many nice people in the game so why would I group up with them?

    I'll go back to single player games, at least you can complete something without having to rely on others. A few people here have helped me and I thank them for it. I still feel isolated nonetheless.

    I thought that even though Bethesda hasn't announced anything, they were recently hiring for RPG developers.

    I don't think ESO should become a solo game because without the multiplayer aspects, it would really be the shortest and unsatisfactory solo TES title. I love ESO for what it is. I love working my way through it all slowly and by the time I'm wrapping on one piece of content, a new DLC drops.

    I've heard on here that the projected life span of ESO is ten years. Ten. That's 40 quarterly expansions. This thing is still in its infancy and it's just going to keep growing.

    They could literally make this game a single player game and 90% of the community (casuals) wouldn't even bother.

    I say yes, so many people ruining my immersion while I try to sneak in the new awesome TG. I want to be the hero! :'(

    That is what Elder Scrolls 6 is for, or Skyrim 2.

    While I don't have much interest day to day in Cyrodiil, I enjoy being in guilds, I enjoy having a persistent character on the servers, and I like having a game that will continue to be refreshed for years to come.

    I even like occasional PvP with guild members.

    I play ESO so much because it is what it is. What is ironic about polls like this is they are often made by people who are upset that ESO isn't something else.

    Rule of thumb: if someone likes to throw around the word "casuals", they probably can't see past their own emotional reactions.

    Is it short? It took me way more hours to finish through Cadwell's Gold than it took me to do every single quest in Skyrim, including DLC.

    It wouldn't make sense as a single player TES game because of strict zone and gear levels, but the size doesn't seem small to me.

    This kid is in every thread whining about how bad eso is. Complete troll thread. Most likely at school, wishing he was at home playing eso.

    @SemiD4rkness ,
    you say: "so many people ruining my immersion while I try to sneak in the new awesome TG"

    The feeling of being totally on your own, the immersion while sneaking, the feeling that it is up to you and you alone to save the world from evil...
    Yes, I agree with you on that..... that is something that is lost for most of the content we have in ESO, but it is, well chosen available for some crucial achievements. Is a min-max between immersion and running costs.

    Not to repeat what most people have probably said- it's an mmo. It was built to be that, and thus probably wouldn't work very well as a single-player game.

    And 'casual' gamers probably do care to a smaller degree if its multiplayer or singleplayer- they signed up for an mmo specifically. If they expected it to be anything but that, then I think they're just a little confused.

    Never write off casual gamers- they are gamers nevertheless, ones who probably have a life or simply don't feel like dedicating such a long amount of time to a game. Which is perfectly fine.

    Anyway, gg, troll thread/10.

    I am really not trying to call you out or anything, but what does this even mean? You want an MMO to be single player? I have seen a lot of your posts lately, and all of them are very negative towards the game. I hate to tell anyone what to do, but perhaps you need a break or a new game? You just really don't seem to like this one...
