One thing I have to congrat ZOS on, is their anti-spam measures!

It's something you don't think about, until you try a game like BnS or BDO.

BnS was absolutely horrible.. the game could hardly keep up with gold seller spam in zone chat. Absolutely appalling, especially considering the game is already 3-4 years old, so it's not like NCSoft didn't have time to tweak the game.

BDO started ok, but it's now also full of gold seller spam in zone chat. Fact that it's 50x the same text being spammed, means it's really not a priority for them, since something like that would be very easy to filter.

ZOS: A++
Pearl Abyss / Daum: C-
NCSoft: F----

Absolutely correct - I was so pissed with Archeage - when I went with my clipper to the enemy vendors to get my stuff sold, there was no fight - they just froze me with a hack and killed me - I could do absolutely nothing - korean games are horrible, because they open a game up to easy hacks and botting. ZOS did a very good job with that indeed.

Edit: easy to filter is relative - gold spammers are very creative to add invisible characters into the chat so that the filter is not tagging them. This is a permanent struggle, once gold farm bots are in the game.

Things Zos have gotten right.

Killed the bots +10 points
Introduced 64 bit +10 points
Hot fixed various game breaking bugs within a couple days +6 points (been hit or miss at times)
Adding in a bunch of emotes and lill easter eggs +7 points
Successfully making it not Pay 2 win +10 points
making it so we always have something to do with achievements and colors and titles, motifs, traits +7 points
Always trying to improve the game whether its lag, server crashes, graphic glitches, or balance +10 points

Great thread- I love this game. I can chill by myself sometimes and solo or play with my 10 yo son or group up with some cool new people to take on a dungeon. There is always something to do. The game is gorgeous, the quests are fun, the crafting lets me customize my characters. I have been playing since beta and I have honestly liked it since then too, yes it has improved like a fine wine but it was a damn fine drink from the start.

Cheers my fellow Tamriellans!

Play the witcher. Its really really fun.

I do play t he Witcher,whenever I need a change for a few hours.I have the Wind Hunt too.

This is one of those in my library, which I have not played yet.

Oh,do it s oon.It's amazing.I like that with new one,they age Geralt. But,what happens when he hits like 70? Will he still be a wicked fighter,...or a used up old man.I'd hate that. :{

Once the next and last DLC for witcher 3 is released thats the end of Geralt and his story.

Well,they'll always create more story if a game is going as strong as The Witcher series is.They wont let it die out.The story that has been written down,plus the movie,make it still a very lucrative franchise,..one not to lose.

Id like to say thank you for:

What i hope in the future i can say thank you for:
PvE and PvP Duo content

Isn't that already available in the Imperial City? PVE & PVP.
Also when you look at Cyrodiil as yet another zone with quests, it can also be pve & pvp.

Overall I immensely enjoy the game. Apart of several newly introduced bugs, it's a very polished and deep game. So much thought went into its creation and little details, it's astonishing.

The only issue I sometimes have are the people, not the game. Some are severely lacking civility and manners, like a bunch of spoiled brats that no one cared for. Luckily, they are a minority.

Lysette · March 2016

The TG DLC is as well very subtle implemented - good for thievery, but it does not add advantages which would help in combat, what is good for those, who do not want to be criminals. They do not miss out on something, when they do not buy it. that is quite fair to them - ZOS could have put something into the DLC, which would "force" people to buy it, but they didn't.

Price is as well very reasonable - so +10 for not being greedy with this DLC.

I mean content that is specifically for a duo, like maelstrom is specifically solo. Not content that you can do as a duo. As that applies to all non group dungeon/raid content.

Hm, is that not what will be covered with arena gameplay?- there is no eta on this yet, but I think they will implement that, because it will as well attract those PvE players, who do not want mass pvp, but would engage in a more "fair" duel-style pvp.

I was comparing ESO to Skyrim in my head the other day and a few things that are better about ESO came to mind....

-I can run around and never get attacked by a dragon... Over, and over, and over. Whew!

-The graphics are prettier....

-The load screens are so short! Come on, you know even wayshrine waits are nothing in comparison to how long it took just to open a door to anywhere!

-The merchants never run out of gold....and you can buy your oopsies back.

-You can hide your ugly helmet and show your beautiful face and stylin hair.

I am sure there are more.... It is not all bad....

Thanks for being positive @VodkaVixen1979

maelstrom, having some content that not every one can do at the drop of a hat and gives nice rewards is appreciated. it makes one feel special.

continuing to update combat and champion points to try and create a better balance in game keeps hope alive that you care about the game and the community

champion point catch up. My friend who left because "too much Grind" has come back, nice to play with him again

A lot of Interesting characters backed up by good voice acting.

A lot of depth and immersion potential for an MMO for any one that cares to do so.

community feed back and forum feed back that excels beyond any other game (of this size) I have known. It makes players feel respected, alas some feel a little too entitled, but you cant please everyone.

Sticking to Your Vision. Perhaps sticking to it more rigidly would have been good who can tell. but its nice not to have the devs cave to every outspoken forum posters just for an easy life.

legerdemain...i never bothered so much before now. yet im really getting into it and enjoying it and looking forward to TG console release

introducing crafting bags (soon) i cant wait to have bank space again. it'll be glorious

What i hope in the future i can say thank you for:
Smaller scale PvP options

PvE and PvP Duo content

An Improved Reward system (RNG + BOP = NOPE)

Removal of Veteran Ranks

and if i dare to dream, less Lag for all content

Hey @willymchilybily thanks for being positive man!

I'm happy with the direction of the game and I would go so far as to say the 500 active players spread between my guilds are also happy with the direction of the game. Really looking forward to Dark Brotherhood!

Forum posters make up a loud minority, they tend to be elitist pvpers who have no concept of the casual Scrolls loving adult gamer "But I stream about ESO all the time!" they will say and if you watch those streams they are moved to tears of frustration over ZoS not prioritizing their needs over the majority of everyone else just looking to have fun and enjoy a story.

Also it did not render ledgermain useless. I find that needed to be pointed out.

I understand what you are saying @Patouf however I am NOT going to stop thanking people for leaving something positive. Sorry if its annoying to you but it's extremely annoying for me to go on majority of threads on this forum site to see the blind bashing train of this company.

While true the Witcher series will still go on not so for Geralt. If you want to read about it here is a link. Tons of spoilers in it tho so dont read it if you dont want to know the ending.

This is a great, well needed thread! as frustrated as i get with the game, I don't see me stopping anytime soon.

I've been here since Beta, and wish to see it through to the bitter end.

TheGrayChangeling · March 2016

I've been really pleased with questing in this game. There are a variety of quest types, which helps to reduce the feeling of grinding while leveling. There are also recurrent characters with evolving story arcs (Like Lady Laurent and Stibbons). And that last part, the storytelling, is a strong aspect of nearly all the questing that really keeps me engaged.

In fact when I got a quest in Grahtwood to go collect animal parts for a bugtrainer it felt like a change of pace. In many of the other MMOs I've played that is the meat and potatoes of questing. Go here, fetch that (thing I could have gotten for myself) for (paper thin) reasons. Here it is the exception. I appreciate that.
