is this game worth playing again?

Ozazz · March 2019

has the pvp combat gotten any better, has heavy armor gotten addressed yet, is 1vx viable, or have they continued nurfing classes for no rhyme or reason?

dazee · March 2019

Games worth playing for non PVP reasons but PVP is still broken.

idk · March 2019

Considering the game is still able to operate there is a great number of people who has always thought it was worth playing.

Ozazz · March 2019

well the only way i would ever consider playing this game again is for pvp reasons and to 1vx people :P

Ozazz · March 2019

Seems like it died long ago, and my class got absolutely destroyed after already being the most persecuted class in game, so that's why it was enough for me. im kinda hoping the necromancer is stupid op to bring this game back alive in pvp terms

If you are a serious PvP player I would think you would want to play in a game actually designed for PvP vs a PvE game that has some PvP in it. idk, just seems to makes sense.

Regardless, the forums cannot make the decision for you. It is only you that can decide for yourself.

pvp was half of this games early population in the origins and first years. Then they catered to pve for the longevity of the game, their always trying to revitalize the game with some new garbage dlc in hopes of people thinking the games pvp has gotten better etc

Ozazz · March 2019

we need a vanilla campaign to come out for eso that would revitalize this game 100%

It was not. First year of this game the PvE zones were full. Heck, early months of this game we stepped over each other doing quests and delves. PvP had two campaigns they would fill each night. The other campaigns ended up as buff campaigns since PvP buffs carried over into PvE.

Yes they lowered the pop caps a couple times since launch, but PvP was never half of this game.

Ozazz · March 2019

also that is sad you say that because eso's pvp combat system was truly amazing that felt revolutionary in the mmo genre, dodge rolls animation cancels for each classes rotation, destro weaving etc, the skill gap mastery in this game is incomparable to that of any other in its genre, yet the most fun

Ozazz · March 2019

you forget the campaigns were all full my man? thats why pve zones where full lol

They were not.

We could continue this pointless argument all day long but neither of us can really provide anything to back up our words so they are just empty bantering.

If you really wanted to know if you would like PvP in todays game then you would find out for yourself instead of having the forums make your decisions for you.

However, as I stated before, if you were truly interested in serious PvP then you would seek out a game designed for PvP. MMORPGs that are PvE based like this has been since launch (15 large PvE zones to one PvP and most added content PvE related) do not offer the challenge most hard core PvP players seek.

I don't PVP much - don't care for a lot of the BS that goes on.

I do PVE quite a bit as I have "alt-itis" and like to swap back and forth to keep things fresh.

Game performance is $h1+, IMHO, FPS is low, lag is HUGE, if you're at a crowded spot with a lot of large AOE effects going on, you might just freeze up (I do, a lot).

Spartabunny08 · March 2019

Nope, now they're nerfing skill lines on top of classes coming soon. Steel tornado losing execute, snipe losing major defile for minor while necromancer gets 5 secs major defile, gets major vulnerability... P2w so they had to nerf the entire game apparently. This is appalling, unbelievable.

Illuvatarr · March 2019

Best mmo there is. Some challenges with design though.

This game was intionaly focused around PvP at launch but they change one of the head people and servers got bad they stoped the PvP as main gameplay if I remember alot of the people who helped make this game at the beginning help with DAOC

It was never PvP focused. Not before launch, not at launch or anytime since. Yes, Cyrodiil gained many inspirations from DAOC. That is obvious from who leads the game, but in no way did or does that make ESO PvP focused. If it was PvP focused, which few MMORPGs do really well with that focus, we would have had open world PvP, not one single solitary zone out of 15 (16 if you count a month after launch). The numbers just don't add up to what you are suggesting.

I recall the old adds, but a logical person would look at the design of the game and come to the conclusion that this is a PvE focused MMORPG with PvP. Also, few major MMORPG titles have succeeded financially with PvP their main focus.

This is accurate. There are alot of good things about this game but endgame has issues and pvp balance and the current meta is a big issue. At least for me.

"is this game worth playing again?"
That's like asking is sex any good the second time around.....of course it is!!!!

Morgul667 · March 2019

It has its faults but even so, I have never once it 3 years regretted my purchase. It was more then I expected and that only grew with time.

PVE is okay if you re into it

PVP wise the game is not ok though

I still have hopes for elseweyr allthough the more i read about it the more i worry

I had hopes in rob brian and gilliam

The reps seemed hyped. All signals were good.

Now that i read the shared information i feel it is more of the same and the distance between previously quoted people and the pvp base is growing bigger

Time will tell, hope it proves me wrong

Madrax573 · March 2019

To be perfectly honest I just don't understand why people play MMORPG's that JUST want to PvP.

There are plenty of Fantasy based PvP focused games out there.

Why complain when one is an online version of a huge fantasy world setting (The Elder Scrolls setting) that has thrown some PvP into the mix? The vast majority of the game world is PvE, so by design the game is more PvE centric.

For me I Adventure (PvE) around a fun fantasy setting (TES) and sometimes hop into BG's or Cyrodil to have a go at some other players. If I really want to have a serious go at other players I pick another game(s) that are designed for the activity.

But to answer the OP's question in the title, Yes it is worth playing again. In fact I have done just that. I started playing day one of live release. Leveled through, PvP'd etc then stopped playing. I came back about a year ago and I am still very much enjoying it today.
However I think the OP may not be so inclined.

what class do u play?

there's always a few 1vX people in Cyrodiil all the time (mostly cheesy tank build), but judging from the thread, I'm guessing you're a DragonKnight that can 1v50 back in the days with ridicolous DPS, extreme mobility, and best-in-game CC?

yeah those days are gone, my friend.

DK (and StamDK especially) are at the bottom of the food chain.

Minno · April 2019

they just need to fix the lag or add a CP BG option. till then the game will suffer for cyro and those players will have no where to go when they want to go to another option.

separate IC was a step in the right direction however. That will be my spillover location during huge lag.

Neoauspex · April 2019

Magsorc tears

Myrkgrav · April 2019

Go play Apex with everyone else if you wanna PvP.

I'm mostly joking but FR this is not the game I'd play in any stretch of the imagination if PvP was my focus lol. I think the BGs are fun but man... it's not that engaging. This is a PvE series, so that's where it shines IMO.
