Playing with good friends in small group PvP

The constant changes makes everyone quit, so it’s not fun anymore

Also the nerfs cause the zergs to get bigger making small group play dead outside of BGs

For me it's the community. The good and the bad, it all brings amusement to me. Also I dearly love the ability to battle-rez allies while in combat without limit.
I don't think I can return as a healer in WoW now that I'm so used to that being a coverup *ehem* .. A way to recover from a mistake in group content.

It's the only MMO I've ever played with an actual story. Other MMOs just have a quick main quest and nothing but fetch quests on the side. The entire point of other MMOs is grinding to endgame by doing repetitive tasks. They very rarely have any story content.

The combat is also better than in 99% of MMOs which feature "tab target + faceroll" combat systems.

So true. Fetch 10 of this, kill 10 of that. And heres a wall of quest text to read. No thanks.

Wanna Rolldodge? or sprint? or Block ? well there is a 15 sec cooldown every time -____-

Story and lore.

Most of all I enjoy crafting, exploring, dark anchors and playing with my werewolf skills. I'm a low level player and so far I haven't done very much questing at all, I prefer spontaneous adventuring all over the world without having to be anywhere in particular.

Small scale pvp. Cyrodiil is usually a mess, laggy etc. Not as fun as smaller groups going at it.

A few reason what makes this game fun for me

1. I like improving myself
2. Helping others learn to be better at the game
3. Conquering harder content like VAS+3, VMOL etc etc
4. Earning no death run skins
5. Most important, playing with the missus

imo, the funny part is...there are trolls around, just like IRL. yes I even behave"meself" in Tamriel like an elven blood prude and no Im not being sarcastic.I "meself" simply enjoy it. cheese and cabbage for everyone!

Having recently come from WoW, it's mostly the game's respect for its players (note I say "game", not necessarily "publisher"). The difference in quest quality is night and day, with unexpected and sensible twists, politics and culture being consistently explored with numerous sides to a single issue, and characters whose motives are more than just "muh boi ded" or "muhahahaha". I would hope this carries beyond Summerset, where I've started and now just finished.

Professions are useful, a stark contrast to my previous MMO, as well as fun from the beginning. I'm actively looking for crafting mats and enjoying the process of discovery or when a risky improvement pays off. There's an emotional response besides "meh", and moving on.

That said, I'm struggling to find a class and build that's for me. Sword 'n' board for solo content is something of a pain, though I hope it gets better (I'm currently only level 28), and I don't get any impact from dual-wielding. Archery, while flash (indeed, what isn't?), doesn't have the same feedback as previous ES games so that's another favourite gone. I may try a Sorcerer with a Staff yet.

To say I had a rather negative view of ESO when it first released, it's come a long way and has done a lot to impress me. I'm definitely going to continue playing, and this may be *the* MMO I'll play to fill in the blanks.

i loved the excitement and freshness of leveling up the first time through!

also a close 2nd is the events when they are fresh and not copy and paste-like.
