Farewell ESO

Having racked up over 1100 hours playing on pc and near 300 on PS4 I am done with the game. The current login issues on steam and the poor servers have ruined the game for me. At this point I wouldn’t have thought these would be my main points but sadly they are. Zenimax have already released new dlc details but nothing on the fixes this game desperately needs. Mounts are the same reskin constantly, jewellery crafting is a joke, pvp is forgotten about...........loading screen...................loading screen...............loading screens everywhere. I would have hoped Zenimax would have taken some time to sort these problems out but NO more cash grab content. Shame I had nearly 1 mil gold and over 10k crowns on my account.

    I know what you mean. Got kicked out of the game twice today into the char loading screen twice today and I'm just 'wrapping' up things on my account. The game's performance is getting worse every day now and there's no fix in sight. They do have a nice thing going to get you to log in every (?) day, but even that won't fix it.

    can I have your stuff

    on a serious note I don't blame you a game that still has year 1 problems 4 years after release Ive never seen a game go backwards in terms of development why does this game feel like early access Ive seen early access games with better stability than this its sad to think a team of people and a huge game company is behind this game if I didn't know better you would think this was some crap indie game.

    I must be one of the lucky ones. (PS4-NA). Ever since Summerset release, I notice a SLIGHT lag around the wayshrines in Daggerfall for some strange reason. But that's about it.

    Been playing for almost a year, and only experienced a handful of these "Load Time Is Taking Unusually Long" messages when entering another zone. Never experienced a "crash".

    Inb4 lock. Zos doesn't want you to tell other players why you're leaving, also goodbye threads are against ToS.

    But farewell to you, all the best in your future! :)

    I'm not going anywhere just yet, but I do think about it every loading screen. It's a game where you can give half the time to not playing. Mix that with inventory and you start to wonder if the good still outweighs the bad.

    Honestly, after 4+ years of technical issues with ESO, I'm almost completely desensitized to all of it. Just means I waste my money elsewhere since ZOS isn't really investing it in important maintenance features to fix their game.

    The game has always had lazy developers. I shouldn’t say lazy, just disinterested. No issues are ever resolved, just “patched up”. This game should have been scrapped and reorganized during beta when they found out the game was going to console and the direction of the game was no longer going to be Dark Ages of Camelot 2: Elder Scrolls Edition. A new team should have been brought in with console experience and large scale MMO experience that better suited the direction Zo$ wanted to go. At this point, we shouldn’t be surprised that the developers have no interest in fixing problems since the game they were left with is not the game they envisioned or wanted. I truly believe that if the devs would have gotten their way and this game would have stayed DAoC2, these issues would not be present and the product would be presented with more pride.

    yep....no pride or quality control in this game....

    A year has 8760 hours. Sleeping a third brings you down to 5780. It was released on Xbox in June 2015. So, are you using diapers and food delivery service? What did you do the 2000 hours you did not constantly play in the last three years? And, most importantly, how do you manage to pay for that livestyle?

    Honestly curious. Would like to achieve that as well (with a bit more time for toilet and food breaks).

    1400 on a single game is a pretty impressive amount of time!

    Sitting nearly 5.5k hours & I'm taking an extended break till this game figure its-self out because I can't deal with it anymore. Balance sucks & people who are near the forefront are making weird arguments, connection sucks but people are white knighting so hard I'm going blind, & lastly the content in this game is extremely lack-luster like wtf kind of "raid" was Summerset/Clockwork?

    I've stressed how raids should have the same level of creativity as that of Destiny 1s raids because they were pretty solid in terms of having roles or different things to do within the raid that wasn't too annoying like this game.

    Lastly & frankly, I feel as I've stated a while back that this game needs to go through a realm reborn transition where everything is brought up to par. I wouldn't mind buying a upgraded 40$ version of this game if it entailed better textures, cloaks, way better performance in all content, & promises to deliver raids of complexity (doesn't mean you get wiped if you don't do exactly one thing within a short time-frame).

    TL;DR Take a break like me until this game can figure out the direction it wants to go & when they finally decide to do something about performance. The more players taking a break & outright leaving is bound to send a message when the coffers dry up.

    So, just to recap, you've spent nearly 1400 hours, combined, playing a game that has - I would assume at least - entertained you enough that you invested additional money into it. I would extrapolate that you were likely also a monthly subscriber?
    But, because this game has run into some issues - which the DEV's have already commented on are being worked on - you are walking away because these things are taking a moment to fix and are not being completed on your expected time table?

    Is it just me, or does that sound a little... pretentious?

    I get it. When something you enjoy doing has a problem and it sucks some of the joy out of it - it sucks. But, business being business, your walking away does nothing to solve that problem and - let's face it - in the long run has little to no impact on the financial stability of the game. From what I have seen on the forums, ESO DEV's have heard the issues and are working on the solution. You can't really expect more than that... right?

    I am sure the DEV's hate to hear these types of complaints and are working diligently to correct the issues as soon as possible. However, your walking away is a drop in the bucket compared to the over 2.5 million subscribers (by last accounts I was able to locate, at least) who are playing the game, dealing with it's relatively minor hiccups, and enjoying themselves despite the issues.

    New expansion. New bugs. Pretty much par for the course for ANY game - MMO or not. Perhaps a taking a breather from the game instead would be better. You'll come back to additional crowns in your bankroll and, hopefully, these minor issues will be fixed in a relatively short amount of time.

    Ya, I understand. Just today, numerous load screens trying to load into a delve or a house. I have to restart game sometimes. It is annoying. One wonders what is going on; is this hard to fix?

    Maybe you could give it a break and come back sometime.
