Is ESO the only MMO you currently you play?

Uviryth · July 2017

No, and I spend some of my time on ESO

ESO`s dungeongameplay is too awful to be an only mmo. The tanking and healingmechanics in this game are just.........I guess "messy" is the best word for it.

Yes

It's the only MMO I've ever played. In fact the only multiplayer game I actually like besides ESO is Battlefield (2 and 3 namely). I would've never even considered playing ESO if it wasn't set in the Elder Scrolls universe. I'm glad I tried it, since I really like it. There are some things that bother about game and ZOS but generally, I'm having a positive experience with this game. I'd even go as far as saying it's in my top 3 games at the moment, along with Skyrim and Witcher 3.

This, escactly this - without the Battlefield part

No, I have moved on from ESO and haven't played it for some time

Whilst I moved away this is the game I always use as a prime example to compare with;

and by playing other types; it essentially helped me make the decision to come back to ESO.

To me nothing else really fills the gap ESO left (Impression wise)

Yes

One MMO is addictive enough already. I don't have time for a second MMO addiction.

wesmont65 · July 2017

Yes

After playing Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 for a while, for the last 6-7 months, eso is the only game i play.

12 people voted "I have left/moved on". So why come back and tell us all how miserable you are /were and how other games just do what ESO doesn't? Keep schtum and stay gone. You'll be happier and so will we.

I still have an EVE account. Sometimes I log in, refill my skill queue and maybe do a mission or too. ESO eats far too much time for playing anything besides it, gladly (because it's still major fun) and sadly (because no time left for other games).

In special I am sad about all the first-class-RPGs which gather dust in my steam folder (Witcher 3, Fallout 4 etc.). The issue with those RPGs is that I don't want just to play them, but also mod them and modding (even if you are only using mods and not creating them) consumes far too much time, because you need to get an overview about basic functions of the game and its data folder structure and how overrides work.

ESO mostly.
Guild Wars 2 and SWTOR a tiny bit.
So tiny that I keep getting kicked out from my guilds in GW2 for inactivity

Speak for yourself not the the rest of us, I'm fine with people expressing a differing view, that is what forums are for, no one should have to go away just because you are too immature to cope with a differing view.

MagnusBlackmane · July 2017

Yes

Currently it's my only MMO (D3 and WoT, don't count here). My adventures with Shadowbane, GW2 and SWTOR ended a long time ago.

Ayy if you actually read the comments; maybe you will see thats not the only perspective that they offer?

I pvp over on GW2 a lot. I hate pvp in games that don't feel at all well built for it, or that pvp is awkwardly glued to because 'MMO need pvp rite?'.

See, ESO. To me, the Elder Scrolls games...could not be further removed from anything PVP related. They're single player games, and the MMOificiation of ESO is bad enough. Gluing PVP to its arse didn't improve it at all, in my opinion - it tried to make it something it is not, never was and should never have tried to be.

Guild Wars, on the other hand...is a game that, both 1 and 2, are heavily about pvp. They're built for it. The gameplay is designed for it. As a result, I love pvping on there, even though I find questing and adventuring around to be...merely ok. Not terrible, but not even approaching great either.

So, I PVP about eight hours a week with my guild on GW2, and good times are had by all. Then I play ESO with most of the rest of my gaming time, because I like adventuring around and even roleplaying considerably better on here, though having fully explored its pvp, I feel that it should be quietly taken out back and shot.

Eh technically not as I still have my EVE Online sub open and training skills, however it's very likely I will close that come Oct and just dedicate to ESO fully.

I do however play a number of non MMO games with friends.

Edit: give me your isk

Wolfchild07 · July 2017

SWTOR: dumped ages ago because of horrible changes.

TSW: dumped because of degradation into SWL. Great story, such a shame.

Now I only play ESO, Warframe (getting exploration soon!), and Civ VI.

WhisperLFE · July 2017

I have active accounts in SWTOR (may unsub for a bit soon) and LOTRO, the latter of which I've kept running for 8 years. But I can really only afford time-wise to seriously play one at a time, and right now that's ESO.

Khemical · July 2017

Yes

Coming from Old school runescape, ESO is the only game i play. I tried getting into FFXIV but i just can't. Imo best MMO out there

jsarthur_ESO · July 2017

Mostly yes, occasionally WWIIOL. Since 2001

You have to admit the irony of it though, they are voting that they have moved on, yet they clearly have not otherwise they would not have been posting on the fourm

GreyWolf_79 · July 2017

I've only been playing ESO for about 6 months, and it hasn't bored me yet. I played TERA for a while before this, but it got old (and believe me, if you think ESO is bad when it comes to stuff like lag / lack of support / RNG / cash shop ripoffs / etc., you ain't seen nothing). Guild Wars was my first MMO (MY first MMO, not THE first MMO, obviously that spot belongs to WoW

). I absolutely loved the first Guild Wars, played it for years... then played GW2 when it first came out, but for some reason that one bored me much quicker than the original. I'm sticking with ESO for now and probably will for a while because I'm a sucker for TES games.

Raeph · July 2017

No, but I spend about half of my time on ESO

I still play LoTRO and Secret World. Also play The Division but I don't think that technically is considered an MMO.

Because that was the closest option that fit? I don't think I play enough right now (logging on for ~20min every couple weeks to grab something from the luxury vendor) to be "spending some of my time on ESO", so I picked the next option down. /shrug

I also don't hate the game, nor was I "miserable". (honestly, I sometimes post against the "OMG ESO/ZOS SO EVUL!" ranters)
I got burned out, and switched to other games. I do that periodically, especially with these f2p/b2p MMOs where I can pop back without needing a sub - I'll get sucked back in by an event, play a couple months, then bail again. But I keep reading the forums to keep up on what's happening in the game.

So, yeah. /shrug

jcaceresw · July 2017

Yes

Its the only MMO I play because its a Elder Scroll game. However, after several years of non stop playing and with the issues already present (pvp cheating, item duplication, people having lots of mats and selling millions every day and bots) it's time for me to move on.... for now I am just feeding the horses and doing some dailies in about 1 hour per day. Eventually I may delete the game very soon or when my ESO+ sub expires.

Note: I am enjoying Diablo 3 again with the necromancer class. Guess I like to see flying loot instead of a boring popup and non rewarding RNG.

Esquire1980g_ESO · July 2017

Believe I'm done with MMOs, lockboxes, P2W, P2C (pay to collect), etc etc etc that comes with all MMORPG's monetization now.

Ran a SWGemu server for about a year and currently have an ARC cluster, which actually fills the "I miss SWG" sandbox hole along with about the best graphics/building/taming/crafting I think I've seen in a game. Just bought a brand spanking new Alienware Area 51 so I don't miss a bit of it.

CapnPhoton · July 2017

Yes

The 6-10 hours of game time I get per week goes to ESO. There is no room for anything else.

vovus69 · July 2017

Played in a lot of MMO - EVE, WOW, smaller ones, like skyforge and BDO. ESO has one unique advantage - the graphics is the best among the peers. You can find better game mechanics, housing, crafting (which is ugly simple in ESO), etc. But graphics is the best among the peers. I am permanently on lookup for MMO with better graphics. If I'll find one, I'll give it really serious look because apart from graphics the rest in ESO is mediocre. I hoped for spellcrafting, but this is dead thing now. If some other MMO will provide better or similar graphics with better game mechanics, crafting or PVP, I would seriously consider to switch.

Surprised so many "only" play (or claim to only play) ESO. There are so many MMOs out there, but if you enjoy it then good for you.

I play so many different games I can't keep up, including different MMOs. It just depends on how I feel I guess.

Don't be surprised. I am here for the Elder Scrolls universe. I would have been just as happy with TES6 and less grinding and repetition. The MMO aspect is not a big plus for me apart from having the characters be persistent in a larger world. The worst parts of the game are what it does to try to appeal to players 365 days a year.

With a single player game, I can finish it and reflect on how great a story it was and move on to another great game. With ESO, I find myself logging in to do busy work, like getting hireling emails, doing writs, and listing stuff in guild store. I haven't had time to finish the Morrowind content yet (probably half done), but I am still logging on to feed horses on 2 wardens I'm not using and collect hireling emails on 4 characters. I don't see myself going to another game that tries to latch on my compulsivity to do busy work due the dread of possibly missing out.
