GW is garbage bro

GW2 expansion had even less content than Morrowind when it came out. But Arenanet added to it over time (for free). I'm hoping ZOS does the same with Morrowind.

I own both?

So you guys have Morrowind then?

I've been thinking about it, but I really have no reason why to get Morrowind.

When GW2 HoT came out, in the pvp servers, everyone was doing these elite specializations, pretty much if you did not have GW2 HoT you were going to get yourself handed to someone with the expansion. Thats the main reason that got me ticked into buying it and guess what it worked.

When I think about ESO Morrowind... Just why buy it? Because its an expansion and its a typical new zones, new class, typical MMORPG expansion?

Another reason too, is the PvE storylines, in GW2 they tied the living story with the expansion, it worked for me because I was anxious to continue with the story.
As far as ESO goes... It's like EQ style expansion, outta nowhere, no storyline to hype it up or anything, just a new zone outta nowhere, new issues arising outta nowhere. Literally the story doesnt build up to the new expansion.

Like watching movies, how you know theres going to be a sequel, thats how GW2 did it and got me to get GW2 HoT.
But ESO Morrowind, there really isnt any hype for me or incentives like elite specializations.

At least in EQ, they offered new *** in their outta nowhere expansions

Morrowind was supposed to be a continuation of the main story.

But ZOS seems to have scrapped that in favour of letting new players start their adventure in Morrowind (they would be confused if this new zone was a continuation of the main story). I'm hoping they do eventually continue the main story. Expansions don't need to be stand-alone stories.

I buy all expansions for all games I play. Can't stand going without them

Got both. My urge was about the same. Wasn't a great fan of HoT. Morrowind expansion is better, taking into account they're completely different games.

I own both but I play ESO almost every day.

I havent logged into Guild Wars 2 since about a month after HoT came out.
ANet ruined GW2 with some of their changes prior to the expac. HOT was the last straw for me and I left that game.

After being a huge fan of gw1 in my college years, I was so excited for gw2 it was not even funny. Played about a year because there wasn't anything else that interested me at the time. Didn't even stick around for HoT. Just a bland, terrible mmorpg imo. Especially after what I thought was a fantastic gw1.

I quit GW2 when they added a new gear tier. A little after fractals of the mist was added. I did the math and figured it would take me 1 year 9 months to deck out all my characters in one set of the best gear. Why would I grind gear in a GW game. The first GW had 20 levels and one tier of gear. GW2: No healing class, no raids, no reason to grind gear. But people complained because you could grind gear in fractals which was a pos dungeon; so you had to grind gear everywhere. And then it was no longer a GW game. I never made it to HoT.

I didn't buy morrowind either but I have bought all the other ES titles from 3 onward plus a bunch of other stuff the publisher published because it is AAA product. Unless I'm dead or a vegetable I will most likely buy ES6.

I left ESO when the guild left ESO, everybody tried different games (It was One year after the HoT release)

HoT to me feels much richer like ESO morrowind so much achievement so much thing to do, more then only 50 hour like here now. (Solo content+ solo achievements). But soon I had to find out that nobody was playing HoT, there everything are group content, but there are no players on HoT zones, even when there was a daily achievements. Most of the day I w8ing to see someone there, everybody plays on the new Living Story zones

So I finally left and came back to ESO. HoT there like here Craglorn 0 player. if you want to do everything (no trials just quests and zone quests, etc), you need premade groups, difficult to find anybody, not like world bosses in Wrothgar or in Morrowind.

But Imo HoT much better! Why?
- There is a Champion system too I forgot what is it name, but it is horizontal progress, no need whole game balance time after time, and the feeling you can unlock everything but here 630/3600 CP not the same feeling. I like much better horizontal progress.
- New system: Gliding. Interesting part, that was amazing, so much fun with daily mini games on HoT zones.
And 2 very awesome system that ANet did, respect, congratz.
- Chat servers, you can read all message after a character change or zone change, you don't miss any message during loading screens.
- Update, patch system. OMG this is huge, never a maintenance, and so small downloads, just download that is changed, and you can play during downloads.

But in vain the best update system that I'd ever seen, if the game is not so fun as ESO

If we ask a question for ZoS, what is mini games in ESO, they say. Open chest with lockpick, thievery, deer hunt with bow, collect plants.
If we ask the same from Anet they have a very different and much richer answer. That is missing to me here in ESO only one, just only one, but it very

In Eso there is some interesting mini game quest, but that is only quests and cant repeat, and yes no reason to repeat.
For example the racing, touch the checkpoints.

TL;DR. IMO ESO much better then GW2 but ANet did some very good system, fun content.

You know you're asking this on an ESO forum right?

What did you expect the outcome to be.

Same here. I pre-purchased it a year in advance. Was massively disappointed by the PvE side of things. PvP was also extremely bare-bones at launch. I only stuck around for about 3 months (PvE I gave up on after a few weeks). There was simply nothing to do in the overland areas. You had simple fetch/kill quests everywhere and "dynamic events" (which were anything but dynamic), but that was it. Even the world bosses were bland (just giant creatures that 300 people would zerg while standing in one spot). I tried to get back into it a few times over the years, but I just couldn't do it. It's such a boring game.

I find ESO to be much closer to GW1 than GW2 was.
