So what MMO do you play after an ESO patch?

A lot of times (like today 12/12/16) the game is just not playable due to technical problems resulting from the previous day's maintenance.
Worse, there is no official recognition of these problems and we're often in limbo for a while not knowing how long it will be before the problem is fixed.
For example after 1 Tamriel was released it took a week before they fixed a bug where my map didn't show quest markers. So during that week I downloaded Star Citizen. It's in still in alpha, but it's kind of fun to goof around in for a while.
What game do you think is worth playing once or twice a month when technical issues make ESO unplayable?

✭Complaining on the forums is no way to get it addressed. Devs don't read the forums regularly the moderators read the forums. Putting a ticket in is really the only way. I did several today.Sorcerna, proud beta sorc. RIP April 2014 to May 31 2016 DArk Brotherhood. Out of retirement for negates and encases. Sorcerna will be going back into retirement to be my main crafter Fall 2018. Because an 8 k shield is f ing useless. Died because of baddies on the forum. Too much qq too little pew pew. 16 AD 2 DC. 0 EP cause they bad, CP 2300 plus 18 level 50 toons. NA, PC, Grey Host#SORCLIVESMATTER actually they don’t or they wouldn’t keep getting nerfed constantly.3 -
knavery✭✭Does it have to be an MMO? If so, none. If not, I switch around between The Division, Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4, and Dark Souls 3 at the moment. I have a *** ton of games, so It varies.1

I go back to league of ledgends. The game is still great fun, the people that play it are terrible though.Edited by Narvuntien on December 13, 2016 5:50AM3 -

Cool - just curious though ...
Did they fix your problem?
What non-robotic response did you get to your tickets?
What's the time estimate they gave you for fixing it?5 -

Define "here"
Do you mean the forum or ESO overall?
Obviously I'm posting on the forum today because I set aside this time to play but I can't because of technical problems resulting from a "fix". If I could play ESO today, I would be right now. But I can't. So I was discussing what people do when ESO is broke.

✭✭✭I do different things:
sometimes I play another mmo:Age of Conan
or I play Battlefront or Battlefield 1
Sometimes I continue Witcher 3 (but the game is so big I lost track of most quests and now just fool around)
And sometimes I youtube a lot looking at future mmo's. Some I look forward to a lot.
For PvE --> Pantheon rise of the Fallen
For PvP --> Camelot Unchained
Both still in development so it's hard to say if they will be good.٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
"I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've been in this MMO called Money Markets for a while, and I've been talking to members of my guild called The Bank about what they think about the big incremental patch this week called the Interest Rate.
The graphics are kind of average, and the rewards are a bit slow, but definitely better RNG than ESO.signing off4 -

Putting ticket is just pointless, when i filled bug report about set effect drop on wepswap, which makes huge damage to resource pools, they started to send me PoS instructions how to not loose gear and that they only return crown store items(in some cases, hah).Complaining on the forums is no way to get it addressed. Devs don't read the forums regularly the moderators read the forums. Putting a ticket in is really the only way. I did several today.
So it's better to make s*it boil here, than nowhere.0 -

Skcarkden✭✭✭✭For me it's the opposite. I try to play ESO for no more than 30 minutes as the other MMO patches then go back to it.
I saw try because ESO is pretty much down in maintenance all the time.
Hey remember that time ZOS said they were doing a hotfix and the servers still had to go down for 6 hours?
Someone should teach them what hotfix means.0 -
