We are currently investigating issues some players are having logging into the European PC/Mac megaserver. We will update as new information becomes available.

Will Zenimax add "ads" to ESO's loading screens ?

    Maybe a good opportunity for them a get more cash.

    Erm... All the money from the Clown Store doesn't seem to be helping. How would this?

    Even if the money were to go into game developement, as if that's the issue here, it is really sad to see video games evolving in this kind of mess.
    TBH I just find myself playing less of the big games from the companies that do this stuff, there are plenty of games companies making great games without being ruined by greedy publishers.
    I also rarely buy their games on launch any more because I don't see the value in their games, just wait six months for the next Steam sale and pick them up at a massively reduced price.

    I can't say I trust Bethesda with the Starfield release after what they pulled with FO76. I think I can live without playing it at launch and wait for their two week later sale. :trollface:

    I understand your thinking process as a consumer and I can identify. However the clear line that I used to draw to seperate the good from the bad games or the good companies from the bad ones is now very blurry. Main reason is the compromises I 've been making as a consumer. Compromise after compromise you will eventually find yourself accepting things in order to prevent worse things from happening. And you keep retreating while greedy ceos push the line inch by inch every year. It's the shock doctrine over and over again.
    Take eso for example. When crown store was announced there was this "promise" that it would stay to cosmetic only items. Well here we are a few years later and skyshard packs are for sale. But they are not pay to win because they require an achievemnt. For now. Tomorow we might compromise with skippable ads in order to prevent unskipable ones.

    You dropped this /s.



    Zenimax making more money will not make the game better. Thats not how any of this works and its an extremely uninformed way to look at corporations. They dont just keep giving projects bigger budgets just because the overall company is making more profit than before.

    Some of you travellers may not have been around yet when the daily login rewards were introduced.

    The plan was to make the rewards screen, and thus the advert for the store, appear every time you logged in - that is every time you want to train a different apprentice.

    Travellers were not happy. Not a bit. So it was reduced to you seeing it just once the first time you log in each day.

    If they introduced any other sort of advertising then the firestorm created would exceed anything the largest dragon could produce.

    Bethesda/Zenimax has enough bad press right now I don't think they want to draw the attention of more just get make some add revenue.

    2k Is already under massive community outrage over something marginally less ridiculous.
    This, now add that sports games tend to be way closer to mobile gaming than mainstream games. Stuff like P2W in loot boxes are common.
    SW Battlefield 2 showed how well it went down in mainstream.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    It's Tamriel is it not?

    Or is the right answer Nirn yes?

    Or Elsweyr?

    Or are they all technically correct … ?

    No business wants their product associated with frustration, or to have their ads cut short by disconnection.

    Since there are many (too) loading screens why not add something useful. An ad will help Zenimax get cash and make the wait feel shorter for us. A win/win situation.

    i don't bother getting ads in this game, a loading screen with a photo of tamriel or an advertisement about Zenimax crown store, merchandise or even a third party product won't hurt our wait. let's make this happen so this game become better and better.

    It's a loading screen so doesn't matter if a static pic or something useful like an ad.
    at least this will bring more money to the company.

    Unless we end up queue'g into a queue for the queue to get the loading screen in Cyrodiil with ads, because the ad server has lag.

    I don't know why but the idea of having some ragehead PVPer get killed in Cryoland, sent to a loading screen, and forced to watch an AD about a tampon product or cougar dating site is something that causes be to giggle. I would imagine this would make PvP ten times more enjoyable. :D:D

    I'd be happy if they put their company logos on the loading screens rather than having zenimax/bethesda/havok play every time I start up the game.
