    Player 1 "You all suck, dont you know how to play this game?"
    Player 2 "Huh?"
    Player 1 "just run passed everything!"
    Player 3 "We could just kill them on the way"
    Player 4 "Why am I 89% of total DPS, one of the only ones that Qued as DPS, and yet in a group with 3 other DPS that cant seem to kill the basic mobs in a normal dungeon, and being told I suck?"
    Player 1 "Whatever, GFL"
    Player 1 has left the group...

    So i read one post after another about people being upset with ZOS for one reason after another. Very rarely do i see real legitament concerns brought up, and 99% of the time it is addressed in the forum section. But the truth is The Dev team on ESO is doing really well. Think about it they make an effort to bring new content every couple months, how many MMORPGs do that or are even able to? Sure there are some real concerns, ive complained about not being able to move content across servers and server performance in pvp zones at times, most recently punturing sweeps malfunctions and does not flow into the next puncturing sweep attack properly like it used to since murkmire, and how the new mounts are always a reskin and the mounts aren’t really an important issue as much as i rip on ZOS in the forum section but other than that, i think they are doing great. Everyday i see a new post about the balancing in the game, and people are so uptight about balancing in the game as if they are experts and that they no better than the engineers of this game. But more often than not ots because someone is sore about their favorite class getting a balance to level the playing field for everyone when they want a leg up on the competition. I get it, i was upset when my templar lost major mending. But its always people get so bent out of shape over little stuff. The newest example is the sorc and the shields, hate to break it to you but they definately needed to be balanced with everyone else in pvp. When a sorc can take on 15 players and survive for 20min without dying due to stacked shields, thats ridiculas and not balanced. So thank you @ZOS for doing a good job.

    I am both saddened and confused about your misleading, slanderous, slick tongued, contradictory thread as well as the absurd amount of blind hits on "agree, awesome and insightful" it's almost mind boggling to see just how much people do not read content as opposed to context.

    So here we are with you making an almost assuredly positive Thread title.
    Too much negativity toward the ZOS’ Dev team

    But then, you go on to hate bash zenimax about your issues, then you hate bash and ,, yes AND ridicule everyone else about their complaints.

    My opinion, I think everyone that thumbed up your post, needs to read it again slowly, maybe even copy and past it, and make sensible "paragraphs" instead of a huge wall of text. Then everyone will see that this thread contributes nothing at all in a positive way towards the community and or zenimax.

    Dude, even your very last sentence was very targetted and sacrastic towards zenimax. I mean really, here I will break that last sentence down for you.
    When a sorc can take on 15 players and survive for 20min without dying due to stacked shields, thats ridiculas and not balanced. So thank you @ZOS for doing a good job.

    I made sure to bold the key phrases for you to see someone was smarter than you today to see through your Bull crap.

    Second, a lot of players yes have a lot of similar, and or different issues, as well as a lot of players have a lot of different ways to express their appreciation towards zenimax. You bashing people like this, shows you lack respect. For everyone, including yourself.

    I, as an example, have a lot of great and positive things to say about this game, it's development, and where and how far it's come. However that said, it is only recently that I have a legit problem that is not related to my computer, it's specs, my ISP, my modem, router, ports, anti virus, land lines, however I am in a location that for some reason is being targeted by a company that zenimax contracted , which is called Akamai. For certain countries and or locations such as American soil, but soil over seas like me, in the Hawaiian Islands, and seems to be almost specific locations, Akamai is bottle necking my connection and timing me out. We already proved this over and over and over multiple times.

    So yeah, I can write a novel of what I like, however it's now going to be salted with what I don't like. So those people, who are not suffering from High ping, lag and disconnects, have no idea what the hell they are even talking about, because it's not them that is having the issue. And those people, when they post in our threads, they are completely ignored and for good reason.

    So in finishing, and with respect, you can trick some of the people some of the time, but you cannot trick some of the people all of the time. If there were a thumbs down rating, you would be the first.

    Thank you.

    Honestly i wont buy anyhting from Bethseda or Zenimax again. I hold very little hope either company is producing games to play , they are producing games to make money and are confident in their EULA to protect them from lawsuits. Have a look at fall out 76 that game is not only unplayable its more enjoyable to clean your house then play that game and they released it anyway. though ive owned everything from both IP's Elder scrolls and fall out. I wont even think of buying Elder scrolls 6. such a bummer to see aother company go this direction . all the good dev studios are in ashes dont even exist but in name.

    Yeah, it is.

    ESO has quests, dungeons, trials, dailies, likeable characters, great voice actors (especially for the DLC areas), adheres to Elder Scrolls lore (And brings back old lore from Morrowind, Daggerfall and Arena) and has a lot of great stuff despite its misgivings (Bad balancing, not so good marketing on the Crown Store and occasional server issues).

    Fallout 76 literally has none of those (no NPCs, no meaningful quests or interesting characters), but has ALL of the misgivings which ESO has. FO76 also doesn't adhere to Fallout lore, outright rewritting it like Skyrim or Oblivion came close to doing to TES (But were actually good games in there own right).

    Welcome, Moon-and-Star, to this place where destiny is made.

    I play healers or DPS often for vet dungeons and trials (NA, CP810+). I play mostly elves or Argonians.
    I primarily play Damage-Based stuff in PvP, but occasionally I'll play something tanky or got the heals.
    I also love gaining more knowledge both metaphysical and mundane regarding TES lore.

    I also occasionally role-play, but I prefer playing the game.

    What about them, atleast when they release content. Its playable and not a complete mess?

    Red dead redemption 2, may have a 'few' bugs but atleast i can get past 10 fps and play the game

    Witcher series.... Again a few faults (mainly roach) yet a good example of what a triple a game should be at release.

    Eso at launch, well was a joke... Atlease they got rid of the mandatory sub (considering they released zero or very little content for it)

    Normally I would say to be more patient with the developers, but ZOS has one glaring flaw that actively warrants rage.

    They run a PTS to collect information - they almost always do NOTHING with it. People tell them what they didn't like on PTS, and it still makes it to the main game.

    The fact they ask us "hey what's wrong" and then ignore the answers, to me, means that yes, they deserve to be talked down to.

    This has got to be one of those peeps working for Zenimax or ZOS's non-ZOS forum account; I swear.. Yeah, with every new DLCs and contents come more ffed up issues; reoccurring bugs, glitches and crashes. Christ.. do you even play the game?? On the other note.. If a toon is taking out multiple others by him/herself, then there is surely some cheating and exploiting into it. Poison Injection and bleeds goes through any sorc's ward/stacked shields just fine.

    Nothing wrong with giving praises and kudos, as I often do on this forum to ZOS team and the game developers (particularly, with how things were better with Summerset) when things are working efficiently. However, when things are jacked up and we don't get any fixes/patches or communication thereof for weeks or months later following every ffed patches and DLC.. wtf, man?! This occurs after every ffing damn DLCs, Chapters, re-occurring anniversary contents and even after maintenance days. Goodness..

    It's simply a fact of life that I haven't had a significant performance problem with the game since PC launch, for example, yet some are quick to assume that I'm either lying or too stupid to recognise the problems I must be having.It's all down to a combination of things like player location, hardware setup, software setup, and most importantly the playstyle adopted.

    I don't deny that other people have serious issues, although I do question whether they are all down to ZOS, and I do challenge the claim that "they are observable in game by pretty much every single user".

    This one has nothing but respect and gratitude for the artists and developers who bring Tamriel to life and grant this one passports to travel to new and interesting places to loot.

    However where the wagging finger looks sometimes is in the direction of the coins and spreadsheets people. Yes it is they who say make recipes rare so they will buy furnishings instead, it is they who say take away the free crates for ESO Plus travellers, it is they who say make hackwings not drop their own wings but instead make them do daily quests for them. It is they who slowly choke the kwama that lays them golden eggs because the eggs are not popping out at an ever faster rate. A choked kwama ultimately lays no eggs at all.

    They have most probably never set foot in Tamriel and therefore cannot understand the consequences of their choices.

    It is they who do all of this and yet it is the devs and community managers who face us while they hide in the shadows.

    So travellers speak if you feel angry - but know that you are not speaking to those who are responsible. They hear only the language of the golden eggs.

    Just one example of ZOS way to handle issue with their game for all. Thisone is about favourite abuse of Torugs Pact set on Werewolf.

    This is a post from November 16th
    Thanks all, this is indeed a bug and we're currently testing a fix for it. Light Attack Bleeds from werewolves should not proc enchants every tick.

    November 19th maintenance 4.2.9 - no fix
    No maintenance for week of Novemner 26th.

    Tell me how to be positive about shenigans like this.

    Do you play pvp ? I find it very hard to believe that people have 0 bugs or lag in pvp. Every person I have met has these issues. Every single day I have played since I started I have had both lag and many bugs. I don't even have a single fight without noticing bugs. Some are only small annoyances, but they all impact my play, and some make it so I instantly lose the fight, that to me is quite gamebreaking. And all this time none have been fixed, only more added, and countless nerfs to make it harder while trying to deal with the lags and bugs.

    No, like many players I don't PvP. That's why I said it's most importantly down to playstyle as to whether you encounter performance issues. I have seen some PvPers claim they don't have any issues but I think it's likely that most PvPers do, whilst most PvEers do not. Then again, that relates primarily to Cyrodiil, I don't see the same level of complaints about performance in BGs or duels.

    I think the dev team does an absolutely fantastic job for PVE and the whole game overall.

    But PVP is handled by literally the worst balance team of any game I've played in any serious PVP game in the last decade. It's just insanely bad, like they randomly chose stuff and stuck it to any class without any thoughts whatsoever.

    But I'm a patient person, I'll keep playing PVE until they finally fix PVP in maybe 3-4 years. Which is kinda sad because they it has the potential to be the by far the best competitive PVP game in an MMO have a serious take into esports, which isn't a thing because how AWFUL it is.

    1. The art and design team are top-notch. Nearly everything they create is a work of legitimate beauty and wonder.

    2. The story team is fantastic. There are a very few genuinely dumb quests in this game, a lot of ones that appear simple but get more complex if you read the journals and books associated with them, and a few that are just really emotionally impactful and truly, truly great.

    3. Sometimes, I just stop playing so I can hang out and just listen to the music. The new cues for Murkmire are fantastic and beautifully set the tone for the zone.

    4. And then, there's gameplay. For the last eighteen months, every single update has contained at least one changes that should have gotten the person who proposed it not only fired but blacklisted from the entire gaming industry. Instead, these changes went live.

    If 4 continues to be true, it won't matter one bit how true 1-3 are. The accomplishments of the amazing, talented developers behind these elements of the game will never be seen because the deteriorating gameplay drove me away. So yeah, when it comes to feedback, I'm more focused on #4. I would think the art, story, and music guys would want me to be, too. Cause if #4 doesn't get its act together, they'll put 1-3 out of a job.

    They release a PTS and dont listen to any of the CRITICAL feedback from the players who test their game for them and release the most broken stuff you have ever seen and then patch it back to normalcy over the following months.

    Sloads is the PERFECT example of this.. Oh yeah, then the enchant changes are another VERY recent example. In both cases they were warned and PvP, especially the BGs (which is where the only real pvp in this game occurs) suffered as EVERY OTHER PLAYEr GOT THOSE ITEMS.... God this is so frustrating to even recount.

    This unhealthy cycle is replayed over and over with ZoS. They implement some crazy change.. The meta players find a way to exploit on PTS. They warn ZoS. ZoS releases the broken crap and ruins the game for a month or more.

    FIX THE LAG IN CYRO! I cannot understand why this has taken so long. It was better long ago. I dont even set foot in cyro anymore. Im disgusted. Yet no word on this no fix in sight. Basically a big FU to open world PvP guilds... Do those even exist anymore?

    The PvE is great.. I also got a mount in a free crown crate.. GG!

    We're talking about a developer who is so blindingly incompetent, that the only grouping tool in a multilplayer game has been various shades of broken since release. And the developer is so deliberately opaque that they stoicly ignore all references to this over a 4 year period.

    And this is just one of the epic failings of ZOS and the chimpanzees on the payroll. If the developers I employ in my own business were this useless I'd tell them to clear their desks and have security walk them out of the building to make sure they never blighted my presence again.

    So yes, ZOS deserve all they get and then some.

    OP, untill ZOS gives us any reason to stop hating them i think people are entitled to their hate.

    If you truly hate ZOS, why not just leave the game and the the forums. Move on to another game where you would be happy. Life is too short to spend your recreation time doing something you hate.

    why give up when you can do your best to make things better? that's the easy way out.

    Because some people have too much pride and to be proven wrong on "what-ever-it-is" would hurt their ego, so they'd rather leave than fight. Ofc there's a subjective invisible line, before you give up, to everyone that's in correlation to how much one actually care. But the line is still there. The sooner you quit and the less you actually try, the less you actually care :)
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    We -- and I include myself -- love to hammer on "the developers," but often as not it's the bean counters who drive a game's evolution. And ZOS is certainly no different.

    In the context of ESO's current life cycle ZOS's priorities are entirely tethered to keeping players marginally happy, picking up a few new and returning players, and investing little as possible in maintenance and whatever little development may be coming down the pipe. Order of the day is re-skinning existing models, punching out one or two more chapters/expansions with little quality testing, and even these will be entirely dependent upon financial projections.

    I kind of get a kick out of all the threads asking for costly, pie-in-the-sky changes and additions. Fun to dream, but it ain't gonna happen, people. It's all about the money and ZOS won't spend it unless they deem it financially necessary. At some point in the not too distant future the only thing we'll get is weekly maintenance and rotating Crown Store items. When even that is no longer profitable ZOS will shut down the servers.

    ZOS's bean-counter and keep-it-simple and uninspired philosophy, a la Fallout 76, deserves all the venom it receives.

    3. Sometimes, I just stop playing so I can hang out and just listen to the music. The new cues for Murkmire are fantastic and beautifully set the tone for the zone.

    Tell me about it. I did not play the game one time because I was just listening to the new Morrowind music.

    I think it’s justified, all this while I believed and was told that eso is a really complex game and probably cannot be optimised for console, recent moved to other games that need a lot more processing and better connection than eso does.

    To my surprise the game worked so much better and smoother, I was shocked since it has so many animations and calculations to perform and it was done so clean. This game even allows me to set my ping and let’s me choose from more than one server at no extra cost.

    But the best thing is “I AM ON CONSOLE” this is never going to happen on eso!! Not in a million years!! when it actually needs to be a basic part of you the game.

    I don’t believe anything, they just divert the topic when it comes to performance and connection. These issues are in no way minor, I believe in some situations they make up the entire game.

    Maybe if they did the right thing and fixed the stuff we are so negative about we wouldn't be so negative.... like calling a plumber to fix your sink and he either tells you no eta or half asses it til you call him again to halfass it
