Bittersweet milestone

Sheezabeast · July 2019

I finally hit CP 1300.

I've been reflecting on ESO and how much time I have invested in this game since beta. I really love the lore and community and my characters are my babies. I have been pretty angry over issues with ZOS lately, and I haven't been able to sub since February, and having hit this 1300 mark...I'm just looking back at how far I've come as a player...and wishing the game had kept up with me. The newest subsample texture issue has really got me angry, the unaddressed stuck in combat bugs...the lag, the server instability, how they mistreat their EU customers, how the console people get breadcrumbs..it makes me sad. But I keep playing, I keep holding on...

For those of you reaching milestones, remember the good times, they happened and while the glitches and issues continue to snowball, you still have achieved what you have, and feel proud. I feel a little proud of hitting this mark, outside all the issues.

Interesting. Do you think you will feel less proud about your personal accomplishments in the game if it will become unplayable in year? Did you feel more accomplished about your adventures a year or so ago before the performance problems? Curious how much our attitude towards our adventures tied to the world they took place in.

It's more about the feeling of persevering through tough times to enjoy the good times, I guess. I'm the type who will play one game for 10 years ;_; So it's more of a self-evaluation of my time spent and enjoyment ration.

Congrats!!

I hope it gets better so you can enjoy that next milestone with less of a cloud hanging over it.

If i look backwards on the good things i only think of the fun people had when everybody in PvP was still a noob and learning, big groups attack keeps and defending (no lag).
But that feeling will never come back if i keep playing. It's not only the lag ruining it. It's the armor sets, weird skills, entire stealted zergs that just roflstomp over sieger casuals, poisons etc.
But mainly the lag of course. I have barely logged in, although i do have good memories.
I haven't started Murkmire not Elseweys yet. I did run around in Elseweys but only had bad performance, no sense of danger from Dragons and a lot of closed doors.
I really had a good question to myself. Do i want to keep paying for this? I mainly only like PvP because PvE (overland) is boring as everything dies in 1 second. The quests are fun and stories, but only for 1 time. I tried doing an alt but it's just not to rewarding, engaging and even red choiced just don't have impact on anything.
I just took my money elsewyr and upped my pledge for Pantheon instead. Maybe this game is just not for me anymore, or i am just mmo tired as i have been playing them for 20 years. Will i enjoy Panteon if it will ever come out? I don't know, but at least my name will be in the credits if i quit playing that.

Huge congrats to you.... it’s a long journey I know.... we get very attached to our characters don’t we.

It is sad, I feel sad too.... but the way the game is being managed and the direction it is taking is definitely changing and I think either we roll with the punches or we bail out...

@Sheezabeast If you ain't having fun, it ain't worth it.

Elsonso · July 2019

Congrats on the 1300!

I see you are using Outfit #5. Impressive that you found a use for so many outfits!

Sephyr · July 2019

I'd offer congratulations if it wasn't for the cloud. Instead, you get my condolences. Wish it was a better milestone for you.

I just want to play the game with less stress about performance server side

So much buggy content from Bethesda in general. I still love the game and make my own fun and all. It's just gloomy. But my friends bring me happiness.

Grats!

What's the /played for 1,3k cp? Must be quite a while.

Browiseth · July 2019

i feel you. i took a 2 year long break before coming back 6-8 months ago, but already i feel burnt out from the terrible balance, slow response time and the even worse dev communication compared to before my 2 year hiatus, if that's even possible

so i'm taking another break currently. playing some other games. i'm currently revisiting Dragon Age: Inquisition (absolutely adore this game), and just got Super Neptunia RPG (anime girl trash)

it could be worth doing the same for you; playing other games i mean.

It isn't accurate, I've played on a desktop and like 4 different laptops so it isn't cumulative for me since I nuke laptop fans

I have been doing that a lot more, playing a lot of Borderlands 2 and I just got Destiny 2 Forsaken on PC and have began playing it.

Only just got to 1300cp. You spend all your time fishing?

Mettaricana · July 2019

My biggest milestone sad regret is my nb tank and how many times i got her functional before zos murdered her again and again and i finally deleted her because the nerfs never stopped. Or all the effort i put into aquiring a set just to see it changed nerfed or made worthless it was fun while it lasted but lately im so disconnected from my characters simply because the future and game performance are so uncertain

Coatmagic · July 2019

Got me in the feels. Seems to be more anger and frustration than anything else these days.

Don't like being reminded that I let myself get attached to my characters when I told myself years ago that I would never do that again...

I feel this way too, I really don't like the uncertainty. Elsweyr made them a ton of money, we need to wait to see any trickle down...
