ESO is excellent because...

ESO is overall a very fun game to play. Let's take a moment to smell the roses and take a pause on the complaints and appreciate the work the developers have put in to make an overall enjoyable game.

PVE
-Thousands of interesting and voice overed quests
-Maelstrom Arena for solo play
-4 person dungeons for small group play
-Trials for large group play
-Brings to life much of Elder Scrolls lore

PVP
-Cyrodiil for large group play
-Imperial City for small group play mixing PVP and PVE
-Battlegrounds for small group play in different game modes
-Duels to test your strength in head to head battle

Other

-Role players heaven with highly customizable Housing system
-Guild stores for people who want to play the game for the economy
-Crown store that provides cosmetic customization options
-Multiple guilds per account so players can belong to different types of player bases

Should I be concerned that this was posted by someone with "Skooma" in their name?

On topic. I think it is perfectly fine to do justice to the good points of ESO (without which, by the way, I wouldn't be here), while also recognizing some of the game's design or technical pitfalls and mistakes. My personal pet peeve is the "auction" system, but there are a number of other issues which either a) other MMOs do better or b) other (major) MMOs do not do, and for a good reason.

After all, this game is not one's spouse and therefore cannot meaningfully retaliate over a prolonged period of time for a rational assessment of both their strengths and their flaws.

No competition on ps4? Does that count?

Thank you!!! Finally a thread that isn't all b****ing and moaning!

I appreciate you friend.

Yes ESO is an amazing game,

No ones questioning that, it just sucks when you can't even enjoy the game because it's
constantly crashing, loading, or freezing up.

I would love to enjoy ESO and stay the hell off of these forums. But Since I keep crashing every 20 minutes its hard to enjoy it at all when you spend 80% of your playtime loading in, or trying to log back in from some random crash

I agree with the OP's list of PvE and Other features, I don't PvP so can't comment on those.

It's a great game, and for me on the PC EU server since launch (without PvP as stated) there haven't been any performance issues. It remains my main (but not my only) MMO home as it has been since launch and will continue to be for a long time I'm sure.

ESO is amazing because it gives me the closet attempt at playing Arena. Love I can be in The Elder Scroll Universe and not be stuck in one province but can go to most of the provinces and see other provinces not seen before in an Elder Scroll game.
