Sincerely, Thank You (for Morrowind)! To: the Developers

EttinTheBreton · May 2017

I'm a relatively new player in ESO. I really started to play a couple weeks ago and hit level 41 last night. I don't have any of the DLC yet, but I'm looking forward to buying them all.

I want to say thank you to all the developers who helped Morrowind release on PC yesterday. Even briefly turning on the Zone chat last night gave evidence to a lot of negativity being spit out by players without giving a second thought to what they are saying. I cannot imagine what the developers are going through in hearing all this negativity when they have put so much effort into creating new content for us all to enjoy.

Here is why I'm excited about Morrowind: it will bring new life to the game I have been dreaming of playing since its release over three years ago! I finally was able to get myself a rig and start playing a few weeks ago, and I have been enjoying every minute. I am overwhelmed in the best possible way with all there is to do in this game, and I enjoy playing an MMO in my favorite gaming universe, The Elder Scrolls. I want to play this game for a long time, and Morrowind will help extend ESO's lifespan.

So, developers, thank you for all your hard work! I am challenging myself to beat most of the base game before I upgrade to all the DLC as a reward, but I cannot wait to play everything you have in store for us in Morrowind. I am sorry there are so many negative people hating on new content.

To the players: please think thoroughly about the consequences of spreading negative comments about change, DLC, new content upsetting the meta, and anything else. It's good to hold our developers accountable, and I'm sure balances are being worked on now, but I cannot see anything but good coming from the release of Morrowind. Thanks!

Welcome and enjoy the story. It is easily the best part of the game.

@vyndral13preub18_ESO Thank you! I agree, I think the quests are amazing. That's what I want to finish before I hit up Morrowind; I want to get the achievement for beating all the quests in the base game

Omnipresent · May 2017

ya i gotta agree here! zos did a wonderful job on morrowind. people are just not happy unless they are complaining about somthing. someones gotta say somthing positive for once.

EttinTheBreton · May 2017

@MissBizz Haha! I'll stay on my toes

@Omnipresent Thank you, really! I agree. I'm afraid that if there is too much negativity, the developers won't be inclined to create more for us! No more content = an MMO with a finite lifespan.

You are not wrong. Though Raz is all good and can be trusted!

Blackshark · May 2017

I am very happy with Vvardenfell as a landmass and the OST hits me right in the feels. Seriously. After 15 years of playing TES 3: Morrowind, seeing it recreated in ESO is a joy to behold.

Plus I can finally have my Druid Argonian Healer.

Loves_guars · May 2017

I'm with you OP, I love Morrowind and already thanked ZOS in another thread, but .. thanks again for all this effort.

I don't know about you, but I consider pure evil that one of the original themes started to play when I was entering Vivec... not on the road, no.. they were waiting for the right moment to strike.

EttinTheBreton · August 2017

Update: just got Morrowind TODAY! I love it

the Morrowind chapter has been an excellent b-day gift to myself, well worth it.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · August 2017

As short as it was, Morrowind was my favorite zone. It just felt 'alive'.

Definitely, I agree. Just from the first couple hours, I've noticed:

the number of quests to begin right away is large, and they are scattered across the island
the island is free to explore all the way around it without any hidden, blocked-off-by-mountain areas, with the Red Mountain always in view
NPCs seem like they're always talking
quest characters also have more fluid, attended-to animations that go nicely with what they are saying (rarely are they inappropriate)
and the scenery is gorgeous.

Balmora felt right at home.

Tasear · August 2017

I like thank you thread, so let me give my thanks

The warden is a super fun class to play. I am super looking forward to chaos ball ( healer's battleground). Also everything, but death matches are fun. Lastly morrowind just looks amazing in the new favorite place to live in tamerial this might be it.

Aliyavana · August 2017

A lot of the negativity is justisfied though... vvardenfell is my favorite zone for nostalgic reasons and the content that is there is good quality, but there isn't enough content to be called an expansion. Compare this to any other expansion from other mmos and you'll see...

It is about the same amount of content as a minor dlc orsinium. It has a new class and 3 battlegrounds but that is standard for a mmo.... It needs atleast 4 grp dungeons a 3 trials but there is only 1 trial and 0 grp dungeons... and I doubt zos plans to do standard content patches for their expansion to increase its replayability

This is definitely true. The story content is the best part of the game. Everything else is pale in comparison. The game seems to lack any other compelling reason to keep me playing. I now find that I play Skyrim more than ESO. I guess 3 years is still a good amount of value for a game. I really want Elder Scrolls 6 but I don't think they want to do that because it would likely compete with this game for revenue.

Vizier · August 2017

I've enjoyed the "so called" Morrowind Expansion. The environments are great. The quest and side quests were well done and fun. The Warden Class is a blast in PvP (despite it under-performing a bit).

I tried BG for the PvP event and found it was more fun than I anticipated. I'll go back.

All is not roses, however...

If they can get a handle on lag, relative balance, round out some of the "meh" sets and actually implement jewelry crafting...Dude's and Dudette's, we will literally be playing a great game. (almost there)

ThePrinceOfBargains · August 2017

Nothing I hate more than "thank you" threads for bad developers. Especially when it involves shady business practices. Practically thanking them for being ripped off.

Oh noey I gave him back his Moonsugar plan.

You already thanked them with $40, no need to post about it.

DHale · August 2017

You came in at a great time. You have no idea of how great the game used to be. Back in my day.... I could drop a standard of might and people.... died. Enjoy everything now as a few patches from now you will be saying back in my day...

The Khajiit who was ... "just growing moon sugar" and NOT making skooma, rather only growing the vast quantities for "his own personal enjoyment"? That Khajiit?

Nope. Didn't trust him :P the authorities have been alerted.
