For those of us that quit eso, please share all of yourr negative experiences about this game including how it was managed. Community, technical issues, story, etc.
I quit the the game mainly because of 3 things
1. Nerf Roulette
2. Constant Non-Stop Lag
3. Inability to see other player effects.
This was a good game until they started nerfing skills. 1st it was maybe once a year in the 1st 2 years. Then gradually turned into 1 ever 4months. 4x a year I would have to completely change my builds across 13 different characters. Actually more than if we are including my 2nd account. I was pretty dedicated to this game and I supported the company because they were headed in the right direction, releasing regular quality content that was immersive and exciting. But, they stopped doing that.
Instead they started nerfing classes on a regular basis and called it an update. On top of all of that, Bethesda started nerfing foundational classes, removing certain skills and passive, repackage them under the auspice of a new class.
This happend each time Bethesda released a "New Class"
Next is the lag. The game has always had some lag. To be fair every mmo has built in lag or latency. Therr is so much information going back in forth to get the command to output on the screen for not only you, but everyone around you. However, this MMO is exceptionally bad when it comes to lag. The slow down in running through certain areas is absolutely abysmal. Often the game simply shuts down it's so bad. Weapon swapping is a joke in a game with so much lag. Often in dungeons and trials I find myself being pelted by enemies as I wait for the game to weapon swap. I literally can do nothing till the swap happens. The game becomes unresponsive and freezes, but I can hear the enemies beating on me. And after about 3-4 second the weapon swap executes and I now have control over my character with less than half health.
This was not a once in a while thing.
This was 9x out 10.
Then there is the inability to see what other players are doing. Everyone running around making ridiculous gestures like an old school kungfu theater flick. Lol. It especially funny when watching The Warden. I thought Inwas watching The 5 Venoms kungfu movie. The game didnt always behave this way. In the beginning you could see everything. I honestly dont know what happened. Over time you werr able to see less and less. The skills were beautiful. Later you could not see any of them. Ultis were giddy mode phenomenal. Same with those. Eventually you could not see those either. Sure you could see some ghost images from skills, but the ones you needed to see to coordinate group combat were all but none existent.
This really was beautiful game with very OMG lore. But the way that it was managed has drivin this game in on the ground. They even stopped making new items for the crown store. Thst should be a warning sign right there. Between the the instability in the game due to rolling nerfs, the lack of other player visuals to coordinate group play and the the lag which makes the game and unplayable mess, I 1st stopped supporting eso by unsubbing. But, when all of the above rose to a level 1+ Ultra,
I simply could not give them Bethsda my participation any longer. I deleted the game from my system
