adressing a few issues im having with the game so far, MY opinion though :)
, i have played MANY many games and MMO's over my many years of gamer... sorry for bad spelling here and there..
after getting to vet 160 in ESO i immediatly noticed some things as i played the game
- the Loot progression is HORRIBLE.... the gear scaling in elder scrolls online is among the worst i have seen in an MMO, the lower level you are the better your gear.. the higher cp, the lower your gear becomes, .. this means that a lvl 45 item can have the same stat as a cp 130. .. there is also no unique items to find that makes you urge for that one item
sure there is MASTER items and maelstrom weapons, but none of these are unique compared to other mmos. , the loot progression just feel viable when your 160. and leveling up to 160 feels like a grind that has to be achieved in order to fully enjoy the game, elder scrolls is about adventure and having fun... im NOT having fun if the loot i get is boring and the same items at higher level just scaled..
- the lack of challenge.. this game really has a lack of challenge, ppl stuff down your throat that the vet dungeons and vet trials is hard as nails.. but you know what ? nothing really is, its just cheap game design, i mean, more damage and more health doesnt make a fight harder, there is no new mechanics from normal to vet, its just scaled again up to higher dmg so you notice that you gotta move around, that isnt really a good way of introducing this.. i liked the vet dungeons far more when they werent able to be qued into before you were 50... that gave us a new adventure.. and a new challenge, from 1-50 and 50-661 is just a copy past with more scaling , not approved.
- the lack of collectables, like mounts, and other cool things you wanna collect in the game is SO small.. thje mounts is around 4 horses and the rest can be bought... no cool stuff to collect and show off except some few outfits that is very boring except the xivkyn armor sets ..
- lacking a sense of discovery, i dont find any of the zones in the game fun to explore, i mean, i walk around in oblivion and then stray off the path and i find a house, the house cotains bones and some dead bodies, you invest it to find out that a troll has killed the family there and you hear him comin to you. or go to explore a cave and find the '' umbra sword '' , but in eso its all the same, every zone got the same stuff, the same story to tell, nothing new nothing unique, delves look alike and none of them really tell a story, most of the stuff in the game is just there for the sake of being there so you dont burn out and discover that the game has very little exploration to have that you havent really seen before..
- the lack of a competitive pvp scene... i know its hard to balancve, but we got nothing like battlegrounds, capture the flag, or anything that is competitive, a pvp arena or anything that every other MMO out there actually have.. and its so missed... so so missed
- the crafting in this game seem to be the strongest asset to the game, which i really do not like, crafting shouldnt be the number 1 way of getting gear, if you dont like to craft you cant get gold version of the best gear you find... or even better you cant actually get a good spec running without a set crafted from the guild. crafting has way to much influence in the gear progression so far
- the cookie cutter specs is everywhere... as of now there is simply No VARIETY in the game, a game that tells you that you can do whatever you want with whomever you want yet locks every stamina dps behind the same role with minor tweaks, a bow and dual wield, what if i wanted to go 2 handed weapon and a staff and reck in pve, you cant do that if you wanna have a good dps in veteran dungeosn, you gotta follow the rules, and your bound to play the same spec asa every dps who is a stamina based character build, the same goes for healing, tanking and magicka, i see no creativety, only cookie cutter builds that is far far worse than most games when you get around 12 abilites to work with only.
these are some of my complaints of the game, feel free to share what you think about the game, this is not a flame post, this is JUST my own experience with the game that I feel is missing in the game

rxhymn✭✭✭Well I definitely agree with the lack of challenge and loot progression that easy scrolls has to offer.
You would be surprised that most people want the game even easier then it already is.Edited by rxhymn on January 14, 2017 4:22PM0 -
