For sure no, Zenimax don't care about gamebreaking issues and the worse lag each update. Not going to waste time of my friends on this broken game that won't get ever fixed. I love this game, but start to regret the time and money i invested into it.

Yes, I recommend it. I haven't experienced all the supposed "performance issues" or " gamebreaking bugs" that people claim exist these days. I think most of that is people being stuck with a crappy internet service provider due to those providers monopolizing their local areas. The game itself is fine. It runs flawlessly for me, anyway.

ESO is one of the best MMORPGs I ever played. Plus is one of the ES games as well, since most ES games focus on a specific region, ESO has almost all of them. So yes, I would recommend this game.

Not at this point, no, not anymore.

Basic bugs and lag, plus access and server issues are something that a newb wouldn't be impressed enough by the rest of the game to bother getting passed.

I would say avoid EU server.

At this point ? Only for the good story

I think the game is totally immersive and the PVP is the best in the business but I would tell them to play with a light step. I would explain to them the lag and some of the nuances, like having to zone for mail sometimes and getting disconnected in PVP over and over, but besides that if they only want to PVE and quest and do dungeons, I would tell them yes.

It depends on the friend. I've both recommended ESO to people and advised them to stay away and find another game, but that's based on them and what they like.

For example one of the friends I warned off had just quit Guild Wars 2 because they hated reaching the level cap and only having horizontal progression after that - they wanted basically an old-fasioned grinder where you're constantly levelling up and constantly getting better gear and then can go back to low level zones and kill everything just by walking past it. Between the gear cap, diminishing returns on CP and game-wide scaling they'd hate ESO.

With other people I've told them enthusiastically that ESO is exactly what they want and they should definitely play it because I think it's one of the best MMOs out there.

I seem to get pretty lucky with my connection to this game and rarely have lag or disconnect issues (maybe also helped by not playing PvP) but I might mention that other people complain about it if I think it would be relevant for that person, with some of my friends I know they couldn't care less unless it's bad enough that open-world PvE is unplayable. (And I mean literally unplayable, not if you have the FPS monitor on you'll see drops, or loading screens take longer than expected, I mean literally you cannot play the game because everything is going too slowly.)

As soon as they fix the performance issue but no before

Ive talked to some people that used to play. In addition to rattling off new content, I had to tell them that performance is going down and things are not being fixed. No way would I convince someone to subscribe while ZOS handles things the way that they do.

Then tell me why i don't have these problems with other online games.

It could be the infrastructure. Maybe your provider is using equipment that doesn't play nice with Zos's hardware? It could be any number of things. All I know is that while you may have connectivity issues with ESO, I have zero problems. Like I said, this game runs flawlessly for me. But, I'm most likely not stuck with the internet service provider that you're stuck with.

I am always sharing pics and vids and trying to get more people to start playing Two of my friends only picked it up at first because I kept pestering them. A year and a half later and they are still here

So ya. I really do feel like it's the best MMO out right now.
