✭What's annoying me in ESO is not so much the amount of nerfs than some very specific, targeted ones, for the worst reasons ever.
I keep beating a dead horse, I know, and I will until this is fixed or I completely lose interest in this game, but really... Bosmer not stealthy anymore ? After 25 years being stealthy, they become guards. Their third racial passive is entirely useless in PvE. Characters made anywhere during the past 4 years to be thieves are now to be race changed or gameplay changed because "it fits the lore".
Except it doesn't. At all. Bosmers are hunters, and hunters are stealthy. They have the rite of theft, not the rite of rolling on the floor to catch sneaking thieves. And I could go on for a while. And the reason behind the change is simply PvP whiners who complained about snipers. B*itch please, when was war ever fair anyway ?
Of course, if PvP and PvE skills were separated, that wouldn't be an issue, but we PvE players have to suffer falling from the nerf tree and hitting all the branches on the way down because some kiddie couldn't bear taking an arrow in the back in a killing field. And ZOS actually accomodates those whiners, but also pretends that the change is justified by the lore.
And then, there is the constant Nightblade nerfing. So, Nightblades are "too powerful" ? Well, isn't the whole point of a rogue / assassin class to be very good at dealing large amount of damage on a single target ? Oh, but I suppose it's a PvP thing again. Nerf Nightblades, assassins are killing us too fast, whine whine whine. And again, in PvE we are stuck with characters who keep becoming less and less powerful because of some lazy PvP kid who couldn't bear taking damage on the killing field. And again, ZOS accomodates and plays favorites, and again with false pretenses.
One of my favorite skills with magblade (who certainly are NOT overpowered, at least not those days anymore) was path of darkness. It started as a skill that deals some AoE DoT, and could be morphed to add some healing too, or a speed buff. I used the DoT + HoT morph. It was amazing for my support Nightblade. She's a vampire, and the concept is simple : everything she does heals her and / or an ally. So, she fights with a nirnhoned restoration staff (silly, I know, but that way even heavy attacks will heal), steals life, uses AoE DoT / HoT... Oh, wait, no she doesn't use that last one anymore.
Path of darkness was nerfed to a skill that starts entirely useless with only a speed buff, and then can be morphed to add either DoT OR HoT. Not both anymore. Update 20. Because "each class needs to bring something unique to the table" or some bulldung like that.
Meanwhile, Templars have Cleansing ritual, which can be morphed into ritual of retribution, and that is an AoE DoT + HoT. And its area is larger than that of Path of darkness. So much for the "unique" thing, eh ?
So, I don't know if the game has become the "most unstable" thing ever, but the nerfs for terrible reasons are annoying as heck. Feels like a team of whining kids took over and decided to buff their favorit classes for PvP, the rest be damned. But with some flowery talk to hide the ugly truth.2 -
Pops_ND_Irish✭✭✭✭✭strom arena, nerf event drops, nerf transmutation drops, nerf race against time, nerf draining shot, nerf nightblade, nerf sorc, nerf dragonknight, nerf major evasion, nerf sub assault, nerf wings, nerf ravager, nerf blocking, nerf dodge rolling, nerf cloak, nerf mist form, nerf enchants, nerf spin to win, nerf argonians, nerf orcs, nerf snipe, nerf master's staff, nerf healing, nerf solar flare, nerf necromancer, nerf dot ticks, nerf crafting...did I miss anything? These forums are filled with whiny entitled players who don't want challenging game play they want to beat everybody and all content with the least amount of skill possible. So the question is when will we stop trying to nerf everything before the game becomes an echo of itself?
I could actually list all the nerfs and nerf overs throughout the history of this game. But, I would rather someone else do it.
I took this from another post to demonstrate how tiree a lot of us have become of manufacturee instability in this game just so devs can fee like you have done something innovative with the game.
If anyone wants to add other nerfs that devs have riddled the game with. Pls be my guest and list them. Some have been nerfed, buffed, nerfed angain and buffed again.
Ridiculousness
This game has become absolute garbage. Broken OP sets, that you're damn near forced to run in pvp. It was good while it lasted if it ever was good.
Yeah. Its pretty sad. But, they will get what they got comimg. Im certainly not going pay for it.

I don't think it would be feasible to even try to list all the nerfs/adjustments.
It's a near constant stream of changes in totality to play.
Like... the game right now is so vastly different from it's original release.
I guess you can't claim that the devs are inactive though... it's actually been a bit too much and too heavy handed.
Devs have been active in giving non innovative changes. Just moving the same old same old around. And then you have people who ask for stuff free stuff who should be asking the devs for actual real new content and real advances in game.
Should not pay them to create mechanisms designed at wasting members time.

Get in there and make that content!
I don't think they would accept transcripts from Laz-E Boy Community College. But @Lab3360 should definitely try and see. 😋1 -

I could keep on going but you get the drift.
ESO is actually one of the most stable and better MMOs. That I have played in my 16 plus years of MMO experience, through many MMO titles. That is the truth!
There are only two that I can think of that are more stable than ESO. That's Guild Wars 2 and Eve Online.
Star Trek ((More Stable)
HAHAHAHA
I hope you are joking comparing that piece of lootbox infested chinese-owned cashgrab crap polished by a veneer layer of 'Star Trek' with ESO and calling it more stable.
Hey, now! I enjoy that lootbox infested chinese-owned cashgrab crap!
(It's got lots of costume customization - including your ships; the 'flying around in space' bits are fun; and it's got quite a bit of Star Trek 'veneer'. /shrug Also has an exchange so that you can get cash-shop currency with in-game currency. I've opened lots of those lootboxes without spending a dime.)
That said - yeah, plenty of nerfing / meta-changing / gear-obsoleting / etc, in that game.0 -

✭To me unstable means the servers. I see a lot more lag spikes, steady higher lag, and never ending load screens than I did when I started playing a few years ago. They are getting an influx of players on a level I believe they did not anticipate and need to sort the servers NOW before it starts chasing players away, especially NEW players. This game has the potential to grow to rival FFXIV (if it hasn't already) and even WoW (since Blizz seems determined to chase away all of their players) but if the servers can't handle the load the game will die as players leave.The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. ~Pablo Picasso0
