Let's talk about things that annoy me/make no sense...

sqwintsb14_ESO · April 2014

1) The account name being displayed. Why is this implemented? I see people talking in zone chat or sending me whispers and they are one name. Then i see their account name say something in guild chat and ONLY then do i realize they are guilded with me.......

I can understand the whole guilded alts easier to know blah blah. But why not just show character names everywhere and allow us to mouse over them to see their account name?

2) Open world player interaction. I cant whisper someone if i saw their name for a brief second without using the radial? That makes no sense. Why can I not see what guild the person is in? Honestly it feels like i am playing with no one unless i am grouped. I have no sense of aww when i see groups of players because i have no idea if they are a guild or anything. Why are guild names not represented at all. This has always been a great sense of pride in MMOs

3) Guild Shops. Skipping past how absolutely useless the UI is for finding stuff. Why are we only limited to selling to our different guilds? This is terrible as it is a very very small fraction of the player base. For the amount of deposit it asks for id expect far more exposure. Which is my next point. 25% of my item cost is gone? really? That is excessive. I have zero desire to post anything for sale in the guild shop. Id rather just wayshrine from zone to zone and post links to things. This needs to change.

Id also like to mention how crappy it is when you actually do sell something you have no idea who bought it, or what they even bought......

4) Quest XP. A game with such deep lore and great story has given next to no incentive to do these quests. The amount of bugged quests is ridiculous. Not to mention how much faster it is to just roam around in a grinding pack. Not only is it faster xp but the amount of loot that drops is ridiculous. This needs to be fixed. Grinding should be an option. Not THE option.

5) Dungeon Loot. I am soooo tired of getting soul gems from bosses. You fight a boss you should be rewarded with something. The set items that drop like candy from grinding groups should be moved into the dungeons. It makes no sense why this is that way. Not to mention the randomness of what does drop. Im tired of seeing healers and dps link purple quality shields etc in instances while i loot soul gems for the whole run.

6) Enchanting. ...... not even sure what to say here. WHY IS IT SO DAMN INVENTORY INTENSIVE?!?! It's dumb.

Im sure there are other things that bother me. There are a lot of things I enjoy but these things bother me daily. Just wanted to vent them and open them for discussion during this unannounced primetime maintenance with no eta (does that count as a number 7?).

If you think enchanting is inventory intensive, you should take up provisioning... or better yet.. don't

Aside from that I agree 100 percent.. all these things get to me too

one more odd thing hehe, why cant I mail my own chars on my own account, makes no sence at all, like for example I want to make some low level items to my alt, I then have to put it in bank so my alt can take it, why not just mail it to my alt and so I then just can equip it, but no, I have to walk to the bank for it, makes no sence at all,
bank is shared yes but if I want to make a full set of armor for an other char I have to remove stuff from my bank to get room for the items sigh.

Next question: Why is it that we can't get enough space in our inventory/bank to hold every crafting material+let's say 20 random items? I have to send mail to my wife's character, then she has to return to sender JUST so I can have room to pick up the things I want to use. I'm a 50 alchemist, 50 provisioner, 40 blacksmith, and 13 enchanter. I don't have room for all that crap even with a fully upgraded bank, bags, and an extra 13 slots from having fed my horse nothing but oats because I just don't have the inventory space to even go adventuring. Who thought it would be a good idea to put such a small cap on space?

Hell, let me buy a 2nd bank vault if the banks are that worried about somebody using too much space.

My newest development is being content blocked at VR1 for the last 4 days. I know that some have been blocked for longer. ANY blockage in content when part of your player base has been allowed through is absolutely unacceptable. New game or not. This should have been fixed long before now. People are profiting insanely because they were able to advance before the quest bugged out.

I tend to be a completest ( I like to do everything in every zone including every quest) when I play RPGs and this game is driving me crazy. I feel like Sheldon on that one episode of Big Bang Theory when Amy tries to cure Sheldon of his need to complete everything but instead just goes crazy and wants to tear his face off. Every time I look at my map in ESO and see a black icon and remember I can't change it to a white icon because of a bug I want to tear my face off as well.

sujaysarma · April 2014

Ermm.. You dont have to pull stuff out of the bank for crafting. Just go to any crafting station and open your inventory... its all there regardless of whether its in a bank or your backpack.

Yup, totally agree.. Enchanting and Provisioning are so overrated in TESO. Having come to TESO from Skyrim where you could enchant or provision with almost anything you find, TESO is soooo restrictive. And the runes... I ran through 50+ quests (and related areas) without having come across a single "Aspect" rune. I had tons of the Essence and whatever the other one is called. Ended up selling all of my runes to folks in Chat, just so that I could clean up the slots having given up on Enchanting (you cant enchant if you dont have one of every type of rune). And then.. just like that.. I find an Aspect rune under a tree!

Asava · April 2014

Why do I have to pick up 9 different level of potions for the same potions? Can't we just have a L10, L20, L30, L40, L50 potions? It's such a waste to have a L11, L12, L13, L14....etc health pot that's just a level and name variation that adds to our dismal backpack storage.

Completely agree with the OP....

1) Guild Store is an absolute joke, horrid search capabilities (and I don't care about the addons that fix it, it shouldn't be this way). The cost of listing something is overpriced, and a waste.

2) CoD fees. This little formula of Cost x 10% x number of items...is just stupid. Try CoD'ing someone 5 different white runes and watch the CoD fee far outweigh the original cost of the cheap runes LOL

3) Crafted potions having the same name as junk potions. A drop potion of health heals ...health. My crafted potion of health, heals all three stats. Try finding those on the guild store. Oh and speaking of potions, I'd rather not have 150 I need to vendor after a single sweep of a public dungeon.

4) Recipes that are in the game that cannot be learned, and even more that cannot be crafted due to missing items from the game. I still have a standing reward of 1K to someone who can produce a single Oats or Tomato and mail it to me. And of course, must be done prior to any patch/announcement that states they have remedied the "oversight".

5) As public as they are ZoS hasn't made hardly any impact on gold sellers. A single GM could just stand in Auridon and ban 30 accounts an hour. Another one could go stand out in Kenarthi's roost and watch the people disappearing after harvesting a node, only to reappear at the next node, and then reappear at the next node in a complete circuit of all the nodes across the island. To ZoS....your efforts have been deemed...lacking.

6) Stop sending me notifications of guild invites after I already have 5 guilds.... I don't care about the Gold Sellers Guild that have managed yet another way to pollute my game time.

7) Skills passives that have ZERO effect. Those are a nice skill point sink. They are aware of it, yet it still costs me thousands of gold to spec out of it until its fixed....I'm not ok with this.

8) My Health/Magicka food, randomly losing the boost to magicka while retaining the boost to Health. I'm not sure it's the number actually going down, just watching the bar shrink while my Health stays the same with 30 mins left on the food....that's annoying.

Maintenance on a Friday .

Actually what has me confused is the "regularly scheduled" part of the maintenance message. Really? Friday is your regular day? But... we didn't do maintenance last Friday, did we? And... didn't we have a Maintenance on Tuesday... you know, when it's regularly scheduled...?

ps- I don't mind them doing a bug-fix patch. But I wish they would call it a bug-fix. Not 'Regularly Scheduled Maintenance'.

Provisioner players selling level 35 crafted epic food for 200 gold a slice HAHAHA

Guild stores are a joke and anyone who wants to nag about the guild stores being more social should redefine what that word means to them cause last time I checked spamming WTS [Iron Ingot]x100 500g was not socializing and I didn't buy Eso to play spamming salesman simulator 2014. I agree with the op for the most part.

We need auction houses of some sort I get that since its a mega server that prices would plummet under normal circumstances but zenimax can control so many aspects to influence the prices. Drop rates, Quest Rewards, Item values, gold drops, etc. Hell they could just split an auction house into several shards intentionally just to limit the supply of items preventing that sort of issue.

I guess the plain obvious wasn't obvious enugh. Never played a game that made grouping with other People so difficult. Why can't i just make a group, and then after that; invite people from a list of players that want to do the same as me. There have been time i suddenly have found my self autoinvited into a party with another player, where both me and the other person are looking strangly at each other, questioning why we are grouped together.

I know Zenimax are supposedly new to the whole mmo playstyle. But I have some serious doubt they have never seen or tried several mmo's up to this date.
Wich makes a good question; Why have they done so much weird? Hopefully they will learn from the issues they are having atm. Almost hoping they will do a Complete day 1 reset when they sorted out these game breaking bugs and exploits.

You have a very good point on the loot, im getting better loot from the cabinets etc in the bank location, than on my expeditions to dungons. Wich makes me Wonder if i should just stay and farm that location instead.
