Question to ESO players

mutan36 · June 2016

I have had ESO for about a year now but I am so on and off with the game i have not played much of it at all. Every time i try to get into the game i slowly lose interest until i stop playing completely, then after a certain amount of time i see something that shows much promise for how fun this game can be and i start playing again but sadly i lose interest. Because I'm so on and off I have only gotten a character to level 17 so i cant really judge the game because I feel like i havent really seen much of it. I just see so many videos of such interesting quests and dungeons but when i play its just small repetitive quests its hard not to lose interest. So my question to all the experienced players, am i doing something wrong? Or does the game REALLY start to get interesting once you reach level 50? I usually just do quests by myself cause i cant find anyone to do them with and i cant do dungeons cause i cant find anyone to do it with. Ive only played a bit of the PvP so i cant really make any judgments on that yet. I'm going to start a new character soon and i really want to get far with this one so if anyone can give me some advice i would really really appreciate it, thank you!

you will want to start out only as a PvE player, that way you can go through the story & learn a bit about the world of tamriel through lore books & many other things that you find. do know you will need a very good imagination because it is like ZOS always said on the loading screen tips: "just pick a direction & run with it, you never know what treasures & loot you may find just by Exploring."

as for PvP: you may want to wait until you are a bit more powerful as enemy players will show no Mercy or Remorse in defeating you in Cyrodiil. (I know because I am more of a PvE kind of player.)

Sounds to me like maybe The Elder Scrolls isn't your cup of tea, and there's nothing wrong with that. Or perhaps you don't have a large interest in MMORPGs of the medieval fantasy type, which again is fine.

Thats the thing, I have a huge imagination and I love the Elder Scrolls series, I have most of the games (Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivionn, Skyrim, and even Elder scrolls adventures redguard). For some reason this game doesnt have that special feel to it.

I love the elder scrolls series, but it could be that MMORPG's arent my thing

@mutan36 ...try to stick with it...build yourself a really durable character (my first was a nightblade - after doing my first group dungeon, the next day I made an orc templar and put him in heavy armor)...

try out the alliance quests - my favorite was the AD storyline - I also really enjoyed the DC storyline in rivenspire...take time to view the landscapes...try farming some resource nodes...do some fishing...become a werewolf or vampire...

if you go to cyro - take some time to watch, particularly similar classed players...

take a little time to think of what you enjoyed in the previous games, more than likely you should be able to find it - if you get bored, try mic'ing up and see if anyone needs any help doing a quest...

early on in the game things feel really crowded...as you learn the maps you'll be able to find more space for yourself...

try putting yourself in first person and do a little people watching...there's definitely a voyeuristic vibe to the game...
