I distinguished certain "Eras" of ESO, based on the most breakthrough changes.
You happen to like certain patch? Make sure to pick the right Era accordingly.

One last thing, make sure to be experienced with at least 1.5 patch.
Returning player? Vote only if u experienced at least one patch of disclosed Eras.

Thanks for honesty.

    The time right around Dark Brotherhood holds my best memories I think. Things started going downhill for me once One Tam came around.

    Can u share, what memories holds u there? DB was one of the worst patch with heavy armor meta, resource poisons, first proc sets, trait changes, end of burst PVE builds.

    For me, One Tamriel was a massive step forward. They messed all that up by heavy back pedaling with Morrowind balance adjustments, driving many players away. I'm finding that they are finally starting to get back to the gameplay I was really enjoying with 1T.

    Thats hard for me to admit, since I think that One Tamriel was just overload of lazy distributed sets and Alliance breaking. I definitely enjoyed that patch way more that what we currently have.

    Still, they killed trials with it, so there is no forgivness.

    Each patch typically brings something I like and something I hate, so its pretty hard to pin down when things have been best. I guess the sustain nerf was the biggest screw up, so before that I suppose.

    I love the game now, don't get me wrong. But I fondly remember when One Tam released, although I do also remember loving the Thieves Guild era as well. Its tough to choose, because lots of different things happened, and its all different kinds of fun :)

    If the content is what u are in the ESO for? I should agree, but... Did u see map of the next expansion? Come on, maybe there is more PVE scrubbing, but is this quality content?

    Improvments? Not balance wise. In other fields? There are certain... things.
    I can't agree with ur last sentence then.

    Same. We got housing and other nice things now. :o

    I did like it better when the only motif split into chapters was Dwemer, though. I miss full motifs.

    You better not be making hopes for better performance with overwheelming of new stuff and additional calculation every patch.

    There are bits and pieces I like from all the major versions. It is a better game today overall than it has been in the past. I do feel there are some details that need work, something I think we all share.

    I like a lot of the changes that one tamriel made, but I have to admit, the easy mode overworld zones have made it very difficult to enjoy exploring and questing as much as I did in the early parts of the game, and I love the story.

    Another neutral response I dont really like to be around. I can tell u, I do not agree. Especially balance wise. Here u go, now tell me why the game is better now in comparison to what it had to offer.

    What was so good about One Tamriel? People seem to love it, can u tell why tho? If u liked the story and difficulty, One Tamriel was exacly opposite.

    I think learning the base game and new exeriences with friends in pvp was the bomb.

    I somewhat envy new players. But at the same time its a little daunting eith the amount of new information and systems that i have been able to learn over time. I have a friend who just came back to game after playing at launch. Sooooo many txt message questions lol. Poor guy.

    Sorry you did not like my answer. Since you don't like to be around what I say, I will leave you with this:

    If Balance is the reason you think this game sucks, then you may never be happy. Balance among Classes and Builds is always going to shift and change. Gear is always going to change. What is "best" is always going to change. Now, that "Best" usually works out to 1% to 2% difference, not a factor in the game. Thing is, how you play your build has more to do with success than your build.

    One Tamriel finally made this an Elder Scrolls game, with open exploration, freedom to do any content in any order, and you can play with friends without silly alliance issues. Yes, they matter in PvP, but not in PvE.

    I will leave you to your thread.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    There's nothing neutral about my comment. It's a positive view. It's also a factual one, I have enjoyed the game equally through each of the update phases you list. I honestly can't pick out one update and say I liked it the most. Perhaps if you'd given that as a poll option you'd find that I'm not the only one to think that way. I guess some people just don't like anyone being positive about a game.

    In any event, if you think I only post neutral (or even positive) opinions, you obviously haven't read any topics about the trading system :wink: !

    since they removed the caps and made Stacking one stat the most optimal do it or go home way ALL the classes feel Trash for me....

    Closed Beta to Launch. I would like it today but Mannimarco and Doshia are still push-overs, shadows of their former selves.

    Ah Doshia. How many times did I die in the early days of the game to that boss. Between me knowing what I am doing, me having much better quality gear and the nerfs the battle is trivial now. I do think some of the early epic battles were more epic in the early days but overall things are the best they have ever been. Thinking those early days were the best is really forgetting the horrible bugs, bots and missing QOL features that have been added since.

    Do you remember hunting for lore books and skyshards before the addons?

    Do you remember the game breaking bugs involving so many quests and even the main quest?

    Bots were SO BAD that I remember I had a special spot on the Bleakrock mission where I parked a character just so I could get SOME resources. You could play for hours overland and never get a resource.

    Housing, costumes, extra banking, account wide unlocks, the CP system, One Tamriel making the entire world playable...

    I would never want to go back.

    I think pre-Justice system was the "dark ages" for ESO... Post-version 1.6 was the "enlightenment..." This statement is supported by the fact that ESO was NOT voted the "Best MMO," by MMORPG.com prior to the Justice system but has been voted "Best MMO" in the subsequent 3 years in a row....

    It's not that I like it less now -- in fact I like it more -- but the One Tamriel and Housing patch(es) got me excited to play again. So in terms of really being psyched for the game, that's my vote.

    Ok, so Outfits also revved me up, and I'm looking forward to Summerset.

    Even so, yep, One Tamriel made it so much more accessible. Even though I'd gotten set in my habits of playing solo all the time thanks to phasing meaning I could never quest with friends, it was very nice to know that I could hang out with others no matter our respective levels/quest line choices.
