Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

C+
Mainly due to BG not working properly (mind you we paid for a broken BG!) and many many unfix bugs - dungeon group queue, endless loading screen, server crashing etc etc
Besides that, BG needs a match making rank system and custom map for competitive PVP

Character Models playable races): A (for example I love how the khajiit look in this game, the ones who designed them should be proud. And I also love how many options the char creator has. My only wish is that we could save templates of our characters and use them as a base for new ones)
Models for non playable races: B (Looks good, but some of them could use an upgrade)
PvP: F ( it is an unbalanced and laggy mess)
PvE: C (fun but too much RNG involved)
Questing: E (too many quests that have been broken since launch and that still doesn't work, and too many quests that are basicly the same).
They get a C from me, very impressed with the design team, developer, not so much. You ruined dw on ps4 and xbox one, hate the sustain changes, dungeon finder buggy when ready checking, dcing during loading screens in vma, getting random loading screens when there shouldnt be, sneaky with problems such as not mentioning pets not regening out of combat.
Game is amazing and has potential for so much more, but of course, devs dont care what we want, its just nerf nerf nerf
D. Games laggy af. Cant play cyrodil on xbox without crashing over and over, lagging and glitching everywhere. gap closing through the ground.. Group finder is botched. BGs botched. Trials botched for the most part.. other than that questing, homestead and vvardenfell is pretty good, but anything competitive in eso is dead at least on xbox so you get a D.
Too much money to play a video game, i've put in over $500.00 canadian LOONS into this great, but broken game. Fix the game before adding more content.
Umm, There's not an "E" on report cards. After "D" is "F" for FAIL...
Perhaps you should have written "fail" for those who don't live in the same country / region as you, and whose alphabet has an "E" after "D".

Heavily lacking optimization options for all users. ie; disabling of visual effects not needed to still perform in groups, loading priorities for group members, NPC's, and mobs, etc.. We should not have to wait while the 40 people at a banker load in all of their armor and pet details before we can see & access the banker. I should not have to load the 40 people at a dolmen and their daedric summons/bears before I can see my ACTUAL group members or most importantly the mobs. And there should definitely be an option to filter out unnecessary visual animations of stuff like steel tornado, elemental blockades, liquid lightning, etc that do not pertain to me so I don't hit less than 10 FPS in Cyrodil or Trials. The other MMOs out there figured this out quite a long time ago so that makes it especially frustrating in a title under the name of The Elder Scrolls.
Poorly thought out combat systems resulting in constant buffing and nerfing, or unintended game mechanics that we just adopt as part of it because it would be too complicated to address.
Personal experience with group finder has failed more than it has ever worked, and I'm not talking about success in clearing the dungeon. Merely success in connecting.
Repeatedly changing their business model in such short time frames.
Over promising and under achieving. The basic of basics in customer service of something you should not do.
The seemingly ignored exploits and rampant botting problem in more than half of the maps listed in the game.
The increasing number of things added into the game that are excluded from the base behind constant paywalls even though this was the very thing the developers were touting us with in the beginning.
- Lag is ALWAYS a problem
- Attribute scaling system is poorly thought out
- Quest rewards are mostly useless and as a result the game encourages farming (which is why you see 30+ people standing around waiting at a dolmen)
- VMA isn't fun, just an annoying grind
- Cyrodiil is pretty much a numbers game
- Still can't craft jewelry
- Horse training cooldown is a joke - if we've maxed riding skills on one character, just remove cooldown and let us pay 40K gold to max another
- Proc-stacking and Shield-stacking in PVP
It was a "B" at launch, a "C" by the end of 2014, then the 2.5 years of inaction has dropped them down to a "D".
Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.
High C almost a B. Lack of bug fixes, bad rng (RNG is in all MMO now just to many bad traits makes this awful), and lack of acknowledgement from ZOS lowered the b grade. Love the game and a lot about it from story and such. Just what I stated in beginning earned it a high c grade IMO!!
Gave an "A" because it's overall amazing. They've had some problems for the past couple of days, but once that's fixed, it'll go back to being amazing again. I'm not going to rate it lower just because of some temporary problems.
