How many people have actually stopped playing since U25?

Kityn · February 2020

I have drastically reduced my playtime.

I have reduced my play time drastically...only so many crashes before I get too pissed off. Some of my friends have stopped playing entirely, which will reduce my play time further. My play time is 95% PvP, which is basically unplayable.

Thokri · February 2020

I have drastically reduced my playtime.

Have not had motivation to manually update addons and playing without mail and chat addon is tiresome to add displeasure of lag.

Just getting event ticket until I can go marathon sessions without problems.

Got so much backlog anyway.

OP: The poll categories are barely differentiated and do not cover any reasonable span of population's possible choices. You must be picking up too many polling phone calls, and incorrectly learning from them.

Me:
Less than usual in PvP due to new campaign setup/wacky BG rules letting it settle a bit before tweaking builds and ramping back up. Though PvE has a lot currently. New dungeons (1 in particular is great fun), extra BRP drops, and putting tweaked builds through content for me are great fun. So, spending more time in-game generally on balance.

many others I know seem to be enjoying the new lore and Sunspire extra drops this week

bmnoble · February 2020

Playtime is about the same as before.

Didn't go through the whole re download to just stop playing.

Belyar · February 2020

I have drastically reduced my playtime.

i log in to do my daily crafting/ dungeon/ tickets then log off. My fps became terrible after the patch and i'm constantly crashing.

idk · February 2020

Wow. I do not think I have seen a more pointless poll. The results are completely meaningless since it does not account for players who are spending the same amount of time in-game or even increased their playtime.

The only thing we can say is less than 120 people out of all 6 servers have reduced their playtime to some degree. Out of the large active player base that is pretty meaningless.

Due to trials and real life i still haven't had the time to do the new dungeons yet.

This was a good patch. Sustain was improved (to where we said it should be last update). A bunch of sets were buffed or fixed.
The only negative was a slight nerf to iceheart which is honestly fine.

PvE is in the best place it's been in a while. Probably since update 21?

So, in a nut shell, you can shove your biased poll.

And your response wasnt bias? You havent even tested other parts of the game and are saying its good.

The poll absolutely is biased. It completely and intentionally omits anyone that doesn't PvP and/or have a favorable view the patch.

Let's be realistic for a moment, this patch hit Cyrodiil the hardest. People who do not play there likely have no clue except what they see here or in guild, discord, or zone chat. That problem deserves attention, but not this kind.

Sure it is, but it doesnt change the fact that the response was bias too. You cannot say " the patch is fine " and then also say " I havent tried pvp " .

You most definitely can say that.

Absolutely you can. I do not fish in video games. Until they offer the ultimate weapon of super awesome sauce and basically force me to, I'm not doing it. It fishing was completely destroyed, I wouldn't even notice it. Why would I include that in my review?

I'm not a QA tester for ZOS and any review that I give will reflect the content that I actually play. It's biased sure, but the poll asked for an opinion.

theyancey · February 2020

Troll poll. My play time is happily unchanged.

Saltisol · February 2020

Yes, I have completely stopped playing.

U25 has nothing to do with it. I stopped playing and sold my PC.

Dojohoda · February 2020

Not me. I'm just avoiding cyrodill kinda. I try it, but the crashing is op

Alamakot · February 2020

Plenty of people stopped to play. I'ts visible at PC EU CP campaign. During prime time (evenings) que was usually about 1-1.5 hrs. Now one can enter with no wainting

You certainly can say that. PvP is a minority interest in ESO, and while I respect it and support absolutely the need for it to run smoothly the fact is that outside of Cyrodiil the patch has proved pretty successful, so for the majority of players it is a good patch. Perhaps the PvP aspect would be improved in testing if more PvPers were prepared to spend time in Cyrodiil on the PTS but we know that PvP is a very neglected part of the game on PTS. Performance issues generally are always difficult to test fully before they go Live in any game because you just can't get the number of players to stress-test things until then.

Nanfoodle · February 2020

Very one sided poll. I have been playing just as much.

Just curious, I logged in on patch day, saw how horrible it was, and kinda gave up. Now I just come to check the forums and see that nothing has changed...anyone else in the same boat?

Title for the thread:
Karen: The Gathering

Also, EU players leaving the game, can you please send me some all of your gold, meme builds need dosh. Ta.

precambria · February 2020

Yes, I have completely stopped playing.

As somebody who does mostly battleground. I can't play the game it's so broken it makes me upset. Uninstalled and Unsubbed, I still have hope that this is just LAG and will be fine one day but as somebody who has played the game in closed beta I won't be able to adjust to the 50%+ reduction in combat responsiveness ever.

Maybe more pvpers would test if we didn't get belittled, treated like dirt and our opinions disregarded. And the problems are even there with five ppl online at 3 in the morning.

Also campaign cap is 450 players. 450 players plus the people in BGS ist about 1000 active players about 8 hours a day in PvP. And that's only in pc EU, you can easily double that numbers with pc na, and even triple it with playstation and Xbox together. That's not even counting the people in the queues and people rotating in and out. So it's not as few as you think. The only reason the campaigns are ghost towns atm is because of this update.

mayasunrising · February 2020

Of course there is no "I haven't reduced my playtime at all." option on the poll. But I haven't and I've been quite happy with the game. There are a lot of crashes going on right now - especially in Cyro - which seem to be related to Cyro, but I'm guessing they will get that sorted soon.

max_only · February 2020

I said that “I agree with op, and the poll is still biased” so they deleted my comment. Ok.

LanteanPegasus · February 2020

x My playtime is exactly the same as it was before, because I don't detect any differences.

Would've been my answer. But I don't do any PvP, so I'm probably playing the "other ESO" anyway.

Cążki · February 2020

I have drastically reduced my playtime.

Im again disappointed

still ctr + c + ctrl + v philosophy

Nothing spontaneous.
Just dumb ai and riding from point a to point b
reading and riding simulator.
Cp dead still.
"End game" competitive dosnt exist. Especialy overland is dead.

5 months ago i limited my play time to two h per week, I wanted to see if its changed NOTHING changed, development and menagment is dumb! Where is something for endgame ? Where is spontaneous in this game ?

Long_Distance · February 2020

Yes, I have completely stopped playing.

I stopped completely after Tuesday. Crash after crash in Cyrodiil, even without any addon ons. I am not really interested in story line questing and PvE any more, so I wait untill they fix it or leave the game altogether.

tunepunk · February 2020

I like the recent changes, so for me it's unchanged.

+ BG Solo Que, this is a nice addition since 80% of my runs was solo before the update. Would be nice with an option to group, but then again there's cyro and IC for that.

+ Some interesting skill and set changes, not any major ones but slightly benefited from some.

- I'm getting event fatigue! I'm sick of all the events running all the time. Luckily i can chose not to do them, but it's just getting tiresome to see event after event non stop.

mocap · February 2020

I have drastically reduced my playtime.

Comletely stopped playing overland quests since Murkmire, cuz of idiotic difficulty.
Stopped playing Cyro PvP cuz of crashes.
Stopped playing dungeons cuz it's very hard to find a group as DPS.
Drastically reduced my playtime as tank cuz of super clunky new block/skip stuff

Currently im just a daily crafting bot, waiting for some responce from ZOS.

If someone stop play the wont spend time for check or write at forum

The game concept is pretty good and i like the game.
I can get so pissed when i keep see bugs and error and i could write a long list for what need to be fixed and if i get payed for this i will !
How is it possible to release a version like update 25 with so many bugs and error ?
It is not possible to play in Cyrodiil without crash, i have a great ideas for some like this not happens in the future... Zenimax can make a a test server... wow it is a really great ideas, then we wont run into so much fails, bugs and error.
Zenimax have a test server... no way i dont belive the have a test server !
- If the have a test server the have resease a version 25 well knowing people will have trouble playing.
- Zenimax did make changes in last moment and it make the trouble.. naa i dont belive a company can be not so professionel

What should we do ?
Leave the game ? then we leave and did't look back and we did't read or write at the forum.
Why leave when we like the game even we get pissed about the self-taught software development.
I can cancel my payment ! It wont rock unless all people or almost all people cancel there eso+ but if we did i am sure Zenimax will take the problems serious.

Tigerseye · February 2020

Where is the haven't reduced anything option?
