ZOS Is Awesome

DosPanchos · October 2017

Do you ever spend time with family or friends who rarely say "no" to their kids and give them a massive supply of toys to pacify them, but then you start to feel a little gross inside bc their kids are discontented brats?

That's what's happened ZOS. The abuse heaped upon you on the forums might be because you are allowing it.

You are the ones who know this game through and through so start acting like it. Give us the vision, explain why you are taking the game in that direction, then let it rest.

You shouldn't be afraid to use numbers and data. Most people will understand decisions if they are made with common sense based off of data and trends.

Go get em!

Burn the haters!, to soon?

What makes you think that will stop people from complaining? Even dev comments in patch notes are torn apart with no reason.

I didn't say "stop", that's not my expectation.

Strong post!

No matter what they do people are going to complain.

The fact you used common sense and forums in the same thought though...

Nah the best thing to do with children throwing tantrums is ignore them.

Hate to break it to you but the whole "I know you know what you're doing, start acting like it" is super fallible because you're assuming they know what they are doing. Which historic evidence would tell us.....??? Not answering that because I am not a basher!

Historic evidence tells us the game was released in sub-par condition. The reviews were bad, and everyone was running around Elder Staves Online in dresses. Then ZOS turned this beast around. They completely reworked vet ranks, abilities, resources, gear, nearly freaking everything, to make this a good game. So I know ZOS's developers have what it takes.

Would love the 'toy' if it worked as intended.
Its like waking up christmas mornong and unwrapping your present, only to find out your 'toy' was smashed by a hammer and then wrapped. When you ask your parents to fix it, they laugh at you automatically and your jist left with a broken toy.

Moat people are actuall happy with the game, content is actually well designed (much better than beta and release)

All most people wiah is the server quality issue be addressed. Its like when zos employees go home, they server packs up and goes home too (my prime time its hard to do content for all the dc'ing that happens, screen freezes)
Then cyrodiil, cant come across a group more than 5 without risk of been booted or if you enter combat, only to get your 'usually long load time'.

If they could concentrate on fixes those hardware/infrastructure problems, people would general be happy with their product/'toy'

This would be easier to respond to if it were more specific.

Vimora · October 2017

I would still complain about classes being too generic, there being too few weapon skill lines, races and cultures not being fleshed out enough, etc, etc, etc. But nice try.

What exactly makes you think that you are entitled to know the game's vision or direction? You are not a shareholder, you are just an end line user.

Knowing the direction and vision (which is to make as much profit as possible for as long as possible) would more than likely cause MORE dissent, not less.

Unless you are on the board, you are not entitled to that information. Even if they did "share" some information, do you think that it would be the truth - or a pep talk for the masses to keep the sheep in line? You decide.

I'll check with the board the next time I provide some encouragement.
