Simple question, when you play ESO, are you having fun?

MarbleQuiche✭✭✭It's an extremely fun game. If they sorted out its pretty glaring issues, more people would realise what a great game it is beneath it all.
Feels like being a Nirvana fan before they signed to a major label. You know they rock, but you also know they're too rough for most people. If anyone is too young to remember Nirvana, that's the band Dave Grohl used to drum in. IKR??Edited by MarbleQuiche on July 24, 2017 9:07PMCurrently obsessed with battlegrounds.

✭✭✭✭✭Yep. Why else would we be here?
This game may have hiccups once every few minutes, but it's still fun.
With that said I only log on to raid or buy homes to decorate with Daedric Thrones atm.1 -

✭✭I just realized today that I don't have fun when I'm on. I'm working towards some goal, some "oh when this build is finished the game will be fun" or "when I get this gear I'll have fun" but the benchmark keeps moving."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."

Sunah✭✭✭Like any other game it has its moments. Find a group of people you can enjoy doing random things with then anything will be fun. All i recommend is if you plan on doing veteran dungeons or doing trials (raids), please read up on some guides and have the proper gear and skill rotations. You will be kicked and bashed on hard (this applies to any MMO really) and than you will be discouraged and quit. Other than that, just enjoy the massive world.0 -

✭✭✭It was, until the grind became endless, with no rewards. Guildmates talk about getting a few blue and purple drop from urns on Vvardenfell every day, with at least 1 from the Dres, Redoran, Hlaallu or Telvanni sets.
I get 1-2 a week, and haven't seen any purple drops for furniture plans.
I'm tired of spending all day farming something, but never finding what I need/want, and not having enough gold to buy it. Or not being able to buy because good armor/weapons are BOP and require grinding content endlessly.
I know MMO grind is a thing, but this is too much.Edited by CaffeinatedMayhem on July 24, 2017 11:21PM4 -

✭So fun! I never really run out of things to do. I checked out PvP for the first time on Friday, and that has been so much more fun than I expected. I see now why people who mainly PvP are not so excited with PvE. So now I need to work on a few builds so I can do better in PvPland. I didn't worry about it when I was just checking it out to see if I even liked it, but now I want to stay so, better get my mains ready to go.PC-NA - formerly, mommadani907Guild: Weeping Angels - Co-GMTwitter: @ Loralai_907 several Alt accounts....CP 1700+Active characters:Fauna Rosewood ( Bosmer Stam DK - Master Crafter/AD)///Loralai Darknova (Drunken Zombie Bosmer Stam Sorc - PvP/AD)Lilith Darknova ( Dunmer Mag DK - Master Crafter - PvP/AD)///and roughly 1billion alts2 -

When I made this poll I made it with the intention of letting the individual forum goers to realize whether or not they are actually having fun on the game. The skinner box RNG loot grind can trick a number of people into performing an action for a reward long after the fun has passed, which has been the case for myself I realized today.
If you have fun, great, have fun! If you don't, then ask yourself why are you playing then? I had to ask myself this.
Anywho the reason why the poll is private is because being observed does effect people's answers according to some psychological studies. As in this poll I desire honesty for the sake of the people taking the poll, I wanted to do what I could to encourage honesty."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy.

It's the internet. Unless someone has tied their profile with their real life identity I don't think people will care if they're being observed or not. People behave and act differently on the internet.0 -

Pixies didn't have DG drumming for them. Though now that I've typed that out, I think I can remember one time DG drummed for them

The_Smilemeister✭✭✭✭✭@ParaNostram
As for the question at hand, ironically I can't answer it since there are too few choices and neither accurately apply to how I would like to answer.
There are times when I enjoy it and there are times when I don't. It's enjoyable enough to play since I like the guilds, I like the quests, and the rewards aren't terrible. There are times when I wonder WTF did ZOS do this and make the game feel like crap. Usually because of glitches or because of poor choices regarding build changes or reward system which can make the game less fun and more of a frustrating chore.
Sometimes the game is made more fun and sometimes the game is made more boring. It's depends on the invisible hand of the developer and possibly what mood they were in at the time they decided to make a change.Edited by The_Smilemeister on July 24, 2017 9:47PM1 -

Valid. It is sometimes a hard question to answer. I hope you stay on the fun side, and I hope in those moments when you're not having fun you have the insight to put the game down and return when it is fun. Like I legit want people to enjoy themselves."Your mistake is you begged for your life, not for mercy. I will show you there are many fates worse than death."
