Cold Season: ESO or no?

coop500 · December 2017

Just a curious question, when you get sick via a common cold or the flu, do you still play ESO?

Elsonso · December 2017

Yes, just like before.

Heating blanket, thermos of chicken soup, and a bottle of Tylenol and you should be good to go!

Edit: and lots of hot coffee

I haven't been sick in quite a few years lol

Depends on the level of sickness - common colds and bugs I play as normal but had full on flu a while ago and did nothing at all but sit on the sofa and doze!

I'll play a little if I have a cold but don't do dungeons because I don't want to get on discord to have everyone listening to me sniffle and sneeze. When I had the flu, I didn't feel like playing at all.

I try to get as much sleep as possible.

Depends. Most of the time when I'm ill it's just a bit of a cough and/or a headache so I just carry on as normal.

There's been once since ESO came out when I was really ill - coughing, sneezing constantly and generally feeling miserable so I couldn't go to work but I was ok sitting at the computer with a blanket round me for short periods, so I could play games. Which is good because doing nothing is incredibly frustrating.

I've been lucky enough to never have flu or any other serious illness, but from what I've heard if you actually have flu you're really not up to doing anything except lying in bed.

Ragnarock41 · December 2017

Yes, just like before.

I especially play when thats the case.

tplink3r1 · December 2017

Yes, just like before.

I don't get a flu for about 10 years, but i tend to get sinusitis about twice a year, and i generally play more when i'm sick.

I haven't gotten the cold in 8 or 9 years and the flu about 7 years, but I still play when my body feels crappy.

I can tolerate a runny/stuffy nose, but once it goes into head cold territory, I'm out. One nyquil shot, please.

Also, Vicks

Yes, just like before.

common colds then its business as usual. If it's man flu then life is on stop

SHADOW2KK · December 2017

I might play for a wee bit, but will try to hibernate as much as possible.

More so

If I'm sick and off work it just means I get more time to play?

emilyhyoyeon · December 2017

Yes, just like before.

I never get colds anymore (am I jinxing myself lol) but I would still play and just drink a lot of fluids

I'm guessing that if I can sit up without feeling worse, then ESO might be a Go. Otherwise, I'll be napping on the sofa.

OutLaw_Nynx · December 2017

Really depends. If I’m like super sick the only thing I can do is sleep and pathetically attempt to watch Netflix.

When I was recovering from a heart attack in the hospital last year I was upset that they wouldn't let me hook up my PS4 so I could play ESO.

Jade1986 · December 2017

A little, casual stuff only and not for long

A little, because I tend to give it my all most the time, and it still requires energy and concentration when I do.

WhiteCoatSyndrome · December 2017

A little, casual stuff only and not for long

I try to avoid anything with a great deal of concentration involved when I'm too ill to think clearly, so no Trials or PvP. Farming or something equally mindless is usually okay though.

Narvuntien · December 2017

Yes, just like before.

More so than usual.. since I wont be leaving the house.

When this one was a young Khajiit serving in the Imperial Navy, the Knahaten Flu was was going around.
This one managed, by luck and guile, to avoid it while it felled many unlucky shipmates.

This time this one is not so fortunate, and was hacking up furballs for the first week.
Even eating grass and throwing up twice a day behind the sofa has not returned this one to the vigor of a misspent youth.

Sadly, even moleasses do not sound the slightest bit tempting to this one.
But you can leave some outside the door, just in case.....

monktoasty · December 2017

Yes, just like before.

I play eso sick it's awesome

Minyassa · December 2017

More, but sporadically because cold medicine makes me have motion sickness after a while of playing so I have to play for a while, stop until my stomach settles, try again, etc.

CapnPhoton · December 2017

Exactly a year ago I got the flu for the first time ever (also had my first ever flu shot 2 months prior). I was down 3 weeks. I played more than usual, but it was all solo because I didn't want to get tired in the middle of group activity and be useless..

Jaeysa · December 2017

Currently dying of the plague that is known as the common cold. I have done very little other than play ESO.

boombazookajd · December 2017

I've been sick on and off for a few weeks, and I've played more than normal I think. It takes my mind off the inability to breath, though I don't use the headset so I'm not the annoying coughing person.

Thogard · December 2017

Yes, just like before.

One of the best things about playing on a laptop is that I can easily play in bed. I might not be competitive in PvP because mouse sensitivity is way off, but I can grind *** out easy.
