@Adenoma won't come. He's afraid of my Xv1 skills...

I think Adenoma is on some mountain top looking for a cure to save us all.

So is @W0lf_z13 .... Speaking if @W0lf_z13 , saw him in one of the vet campaigns as I was on my main (a DC) completing the Cyrodiil zone guide.... I tried to whisper, but he was in offline mode... I am sure he didn't think it was me on a DC in cyrodiil!

Gotta get my AP somehow! I get tired just repping walls...

So what has everyone been up to? @vamp_emily ? @Stridig ?

I've been doing more pve, trying to 100% achievements on my main, but had been poking into icereach at least once a week.... I did miss the tri-faction event over Easter, though. Ran into Valor yesterday and his band of AA.... I thought they "moved to vet..." Oh well.

I have been working extended hours through the lock down (energy industry) so..... not much. I rarely log in anymore due to horrible performance and the total disregard from ZOS. Been playing Warzone which is pretty fun.

vamp_emily · May 2020

I haven't been playing. Last day was April 6th.

I do miss playing but can't handle the performance issues any more.

vamp_emily · May 2020

energy... ugh! When I think of oil I get sick to my stomach. I bought stock in a company called "Berry Corporation" around $7 dollars a share. After the outbreak it dropped to $3.50, I purchased some more and it dropped to $2.00 a share.. made me sick. I quit looking at it but noticed it went backup to around $3.00. 30 years from now I might be rich but it sucks watching it go down, down and down.

The good thing about energy is.. I took a peek at my upcoming power bill and it will only be like $0.80 for the month. Wish it was always like that.

Well, when they start paying you to take their oil....

Is that BRY? Anyway, good luck!

I'd like to tell you they fixed the performance issues... but I am not going to lie.... the 12 FPS I am used to and can kinda deal with... it's the random load screens that really throw me...

Yes BRY.

I'm sure I will play again, sometimes I see videos and remember how much I liked playing.

I work in the oil industry. Stock will go back up. Our company stock was $117 last year. It dropped to $42 recently now back to $65. Demand has dropped sharply while supplies are in excess. This is all temporary. When stay at home orders are lifted, and airlines resume flights we will see a change. If you want stock in oil, look for companies that have midstream capabilities, lubricants or transportation. Drilling assets will be slow to recover.

Makes sense. Some reason I think you work for Phillips 66.

I had my eyes on that company but ended up buying the other one.

Anyway.... before Felipe closes this thread for some random conversation, performance sucks and ZOS has horrible community relations. They are not the high performing organization I'm used to working for and with. They are lazy.

I don't necessarily agree with that. I think there are many reasons why performance continues to be an issue. They are building off 8 year old coding that was designed for way less sets, mounts, skills, classes, etc..... Heck, wasn't even built originally for CP! The game is pretty complicated and has to have Billions of lines of code. Each time they add/update/change something, they are affecting more code with the chances of causing more issues. I think they are doing their best, but have made the decision that not adding more content would hurt the game more than stopping adding content to fix issues. And seriously, population is booming in ESO, so it seems like they made the right call. It could, however, become so unplayable they start loosing players, then they will have to put in more resources and halt updates/adding new content.

Adenoma · May 2020

Performance was disappointing the last time I logged in. It seems like they’re starting to make some changes at least in terms of game design that are moving in the right direction, but it still seems a bit all over the place.

I’ve just been wheeling and dealing with this pandemic in the ER. Otherwise, playing battlefield 5 until they cancelled it and now I’m lost!

Stridig · May 2020

Perhaps all of that is true. Perhaps their KPI's are acceptable to them. But my opinion still stands. Its lazy. Having a complicated job (game) is no excuse to cut corners in order to get it done.

I don't think they are cutting corners, I just think that on the economic side, they are saying we have to push out more content to keep people in the game. I think the devs are working as hard as they can, but with the mandate to pump out new content, it becomes impossible to push through all the code to fix everything. At this point, it is working as there has been a net increase in players playing, and until that changes, they won't change the focus.

That being said, I'd love to know what the subscriber population has done over the past couple years...

Hello everyone,

Recently we've had to remove a few posts for bashing, discussing disciplinary actions, and inappropriate content. For further posts be sure to stay constructive and respectful with the
Forum Rules in mind to avoid thread derailment.

Thank you for understanding.

Stridig · May 2020

Whatever.... so I have some ideas for really nice builds. You use a combination of buttons and if you hit them enough times, a skill may go off.

vamp_emily · May 2020

A tank build where you just stand there would be best. Any other build would cause inflammation of the joints. I think the chances of getting Arthritis from playing eso has increased 1000%. Pushing a button 5 to 10 times for a single skill to go off has to be very painful to your body in the long term. Maybe their "combat" goal was to start selling ESO wristbands ( that prevents arthritis) in the Zenimax store. Maybe?

Posts getting the snip already and we are only on page 1?

The campaign was pretty fun last night. Lots of fun fights, porting around the emp ring to defend emperor. Both ad and dc pushing.
