Haven't played it yet but when I read about it on the forums I hear Elmer Fudd singing, in the tune of Ride of the Valkyries:

Kil da mages, kill da mages, kill da mages, hahahaha.

F -

Murkmire is nice though it doesn't make up for the multitude of problems this patch has brought.
-Bugs that range from annoying to game breaking in everywhere from Housing, world bosses, dungeons, animations, combat the list goes on and [snip] refuses to fix them outside of pre-planned patches. Meaning that we will be enduring this a minimum of a week most likely 2+.
-MagSorcs have been killed along with shields and with no respec or shared progress its either; restart, quit or grin and bear it.
-PvP is unplayable.
-[snip] still refuse to split PvE and PvP changes.
-More sets introduced that are DOA or become BIS by miles.

[edited for bashing]

I generally like the content but there isn't much to the story line or quests. Performance seems to have gone downhill. It wouldn't hurt ZOS to forgo a content release and clean up the various bugs and performance issues in both PvE and PvP. I think a large majority of the player base would applaud this.

Murkire itself is nice but... but... everything else is a utter disaster. All of our feedback has fallen on deaf ears with the amount of imbalances and bugs that made it through live.

General consensus seems to say Zenimax got a failing grade.

Nope.

At this moment, 166 pass v.s. 164 fail.

Yeah, about 70% D and F combined really screams "satisfied customers". I am sure they are celebrating this resounding success.

Except that the vast majority of players don't answer this kind of "insightful poll".
The discontent are a minority .. but the discontent are also the most vocal, and tend to plague the forums with a huge amount of posts, all on the same few subjects.

You know .. yes, the meta change, yes sets AND skills go bis and fall out of grace. This is a living MMO. If nothing change, it'll die out, so embrace the changes. If you don't want to change your build with every update, then, accept that your build will be good, but not optimal .. many players play this way without raging.

I don't know if they celebrate, probably not, but they give it the imprtance it deserve : none.

You didn't vote tho

And I suppose that, in your mind, it void my points.
I didn't vote because I haven't done enough or murkmire to be able to give a sound criticism already.
I'm amazed that so many people are able to pass a fair and unbiased judgment, already.
So far, I kinda like it.

Even if I am a pet sorc who relies (relied) heavily on hardened ward for durability.
Yes, things change, as I said .. won't stop me from enjoying the game.

F

Have never felt this bad since i started in '15
Nerfs that dont make sense coupled with *insane* ideas regarding combat and an overperforming CP point system
Still, a buy to play game, with pay to play dlc's, a sub model, buy to play "chapters" and lootboxes.

yeah its enough for me now

I give it a C. There were some positives (templar sustain, dk melee range), mostly overshadowed by some huge negatives (shields, speed) as well as at least a few [snip] changes like the warden heal. I can't give it an F due to the existence of some good changes, but ZOS really should have been aware of the backlash they would get from shields and what were they thinking with enchants?

but you dont have any lag, or bugs with tons of basic abilities that interrupt the fun of the game? like, the bosses not spawning or the lack of content in the zone?

the quests themselves are pretty good, detailed fairly well but theres what, 20 of them and a bunch of dailies?
i cant even get my crafting writs from the zone and theres soo many other dailies.

I give it a 'frost staff tanking' out of 10

The new map is an A+

I haven't done the story yet to grade that but the characters I've seen so far get a B+

Additional sustain nerfs get a resounding F. I am struggling to improve my DPS for end game content and you just made it worse

How they handled the swift nerf also gets a resounding F. Major expedition was not the problem, swift jewlery in PvP was. My character now feels like he is walking in mud

Breaking crafting stations in houses, I'll give that a D-

There is a difference between the Merk (the pve zone, quests, delves, dungeon, etc.) vs. all the other changes made to the game. You can tell by reading over the comments in this thread (as well as other similar threads) that people are not in sync about what they are responding to ... some responses are about Merk while other responses are about 'all the other changes' (i.e., not related to 'Merk'). It would be nice if questions posed in threads such as these were more clear or specific -- IMO it would make reading over the responses more impactful. Just saying.

Nailed it. This patch should have never gone live. If something this bad was released where I work, people would lose their jobs. I think this team needs some fresh blood, and definitely some better direction.

Bugmire Patch, some really serious issues at the moment.

A new low in patch quality control.
