As I look at games that have been very successful over many years, I see a trend. When these games stop being what brought the fans in the first place, people leave and look for what is missing.
When you change too much at once you break everything in order to rebuild, much like a bone being set for a cast. Zos is doing that with the warden and the patch notes. The difference here is they have insufficient knowledge on how to rebuild, where a Doctor knows what was broken, and how to rebuild it properly. Zos, why would you break something that was already so damaged, unless you plan on a complete rebuild?? You know Skyrim is the main reason this game got off the ground. Show some respect to the Lore and the fans that made you.
Zos you had a game with tons of support and now you want to be greedy and pull new players in at the expense of your current players. Bad business plan.
I love this game and play it "live" more than your Devs. (Check my hours played on EU and NA Xbox One) Name the Dev with more hours of actual live game play. Does anyone in your company seek out advice from the people who play this game more than most? Also, your game testers need to work harder according to a little bird I know in this industry.
I was ranked #3 in the world at BF3 with about 3000 hours played from launch until BF4. I don't have a You Tube channel anymore since I stopped making videos after BF3. Yes, BF3 was the last Battlefield game before Battlefield decided they wanted to steal COD customers. Now both games are a mix of jet packs and trench knives. Garbage.
I am not bragging about my experience, I am stating facts to support my basis of knowledge. Much like any legal or official document where you state your qualifications, experience and training in a subject matter so the reader can weigh your opinion based on what they know of the person expressing the opinion.
Your company has become so greedy and so out of touch with the players, you are sealing your own fate. It makes me sick.
If I did not love this game so much, I would not "hate" what you are doing to destroy what I love.
ESO you had me at "hello", but......

✭✭✭✭✭It's hard to comment in the presence of such greatness without getting nervous ... Forgive my fandom as I will try my best .
ZoS reached a ceiling with lateral progression and then reached a wall on horizontal progression . They had to make some form of compensation for the games health . Did they do it in a way pleasing to a lot of players ? Oh hell no . They made several mathematical blunders just in class balance alone . Redesigned balance systems are most always a nightmare .
I'm going to shorten this up . They need help . Lots of help . It's not the end of the world and not all the vets are leaving . The better ones are writing long ass reports and submitting video explanations . This might have little effect with a launch date scheduled but most likely will help in future adjustments . It's important to let ZoS know how you feel as a expert in the field but experts should also include solutions working in the general direction of the main goal .
Thank you for playing ESO and caring about its future .20 -

UGH I loved that game. I was a Lieutenant Colonel, like just a few more ranks away from cap, when they finally pulled the Server. I miss it so much.

✭✭✭✭✭I haven't even played Skyrim yet. Like, really, what's the rush? I could start it in 2020 and TES6 still won't be officially in production.
I won't argue against the amateur mistakes this team has made. They made them. They have to own them eventually if they ever want to learn from them. But there are a lot of different ways to play this game after you log in, so it's hard to call anything game-breaking short of the physical servers melting down.signing off3 -

Yes I'm fully behind all complains about the huge all around nerf who will probably be damaging for the game.
However if they want to sell the warden hard, they mess up worse than the dungeon finder.
If I wanted to sell the warden I would not made it an support character who is an niche, make it the stamina version of the pet sorcerer with compatible dps, its something loads of people has asked for and an obvious missing piece.
Pretty easy buff the cliff racer but make it dodgeable, give warden some synergy with bows.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

Floki_Vilgerdarson✭✭✭✭In my law enforcement career I wrote many court orders to present to judges for approval. Each court order or search warrant etc. requires something we call "the hero clause". The "hero clause" looks like bragging, hence the name, "hero clause". ( We keep a template so we can update our "hero clause" as we progress in training and experience.)
When submitting a search warrant for specific items etc., you always include "the hero clause" so the judge you are waking up in the middle of the night to sign your search warrant, will affirm your request seeing you are qualified and you have "probable cause".
So long story short, I don't care if people think I am bragging. I am simply stating facts about myself and then giving my opinion. I think more people should do the same.
I find it difficult to comprehend the ability of a large number of people, who post, to focus in on one specific word or idea, which turns the thread into a personal bash, instead of an open discussion.
Thank you,
Floki

✭✭✭✭✭I still love this game, flaws and all. Does it have room for improvement? Of course. That doesn't make it a horrible/broken/unsuccessful game. Your hyperbole doesn't change the fact that this game is very successful. It also doesn't change the fact that the overwhelming majority of players are very pleased with the game, and that the playerbase is growing.
No matter how much you exaggerate your opinion, it still is just your opinion. Yours. One. Singular. Welcome to the minority.PC-NA Goat - Bleat Bleat Baaaa4 -

That's because you chose to make it personal, and continue to do by dragging your self-proclaimed RL circumstances into what should simply be a statement of your opinion about the game - a statement, moreover, that could have been added to any of the many existing topics on the subject instead of giving yourself the self-importance associated with creating a new topic on it.Edited by Tandor on May 5, 2017 7:51PM7 -
