it was the steady build up I reckon.

honestly one tamrial was the release i enjoyed most as i messed around with all the sets and builds and had a huge amount of fun as the game expanded sooooo much.

Horns was great, homestead added a huge dimension to the game, clockwork city was great, but Morrowind sustain nerfs kinda coloured things, summerset launched with the light attack buffs as they embraced light attack weaving, cloud rest had some decent sets, dragon bones was hella fun, wolf hunter was also great, though mirkmire was underwhelming. I've never enjoyed a black rose prison run.

wrathstone and scale breaker has some of the best dungeons in the game, and sunspire has the best gear, i've run that trial more than anything else. northern and southern elsewyer are amazing content, but it was also a year of nerfs steadily making the things worse. This was also the year CP died and we lost all progression at end game.

greymoor is fantastic, except the gear sucks. like, all the itemisation is terrible. but no major nerfs (yet) this year so things are fine for now. hopefully the rest of the year will lift on the gear front.

you know, i read over that list and i think "holy ***, these ZoS guys have been hitting it out of the park over and over again!". For all our complaints and griping, it's insane how much quality content has been added to the game.

Bias post. Where is an option for, "I have enjoyed the game from beta to the present time".

Pretty much everything about the game (except performance, of course) was much worse than it is today but it was also new and exciting.
Everyone was absolutely clueless and you never knew what you were gonna find next, a new adventure or a game-breaking bug.

Also, nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

Everything was new and exciting (sometimes a bit too exciting - spent one hour beating Doshia on my fresh nightblade with no aoe abilities, she kept healing up).

At this point I had been playing about a year and knew more about the game. Mainly PVP was tons of fun. I enjoyed pvp in 2015 too, but I had started playing in vet at the beginning of 2016 and found it to be more fun than lowbie.

Sort of hard to vote as new player .. but informative results!

When was "One Tamriel" introduced, I wonder?

It's really hard to say, because there has been a lot of highlights for me. Orsinium was an amazing DLC, TG and DB's time saw the arrival of the Maw of Lorkhaj, my favorite trial. Vvardenfell fed the nostalgia whilst also being new and also brought the first new class, it also led to CWC which was fantastic. It was also around this time I discovered my love for Stam Sorc.
Summerset had the least exciting additions imo, but the island itself was great and I enjoyed the story very much.
Elsweyr brought Necromancer. A class that has been troubled but ALSO a class I had wanted and requested for ages. Even with its problems, I still love it. The zone itself was great and learning more on the Khajiit and and Akaviri was another thing I'd wanted for a long time.

I can't comment on Greymoor yet. However, Harrowstorm's dungeons are god-tier. They sit right up there, next to my favorite; Fang Lair.


My overall favourite time in ESO though would have to be console release. Everything was just so new and exciting. PVP was a chaotic mess of joy, as nobody really knew how to make a good build, or play properly.
Everything was so fresh and unknown. Even vampires and werewolves were a rarity. Hunting for a vampire, with all the rumors going around, was like looking for a Mew under that truck in Pokemon Blue.

In every MMO, the new player experience always has a certain sense of excitement and adventure to it.Especially when the game itself is new, too.

I really enjoyed PvP in 2015. People were not as locked into patterns. Today, everyone behaves the same...attacking from the same places,,defending from the same places. Back then, you never knew what was going to happen. I remember my whole group getting ganked by four NBs in the woods in an area where you’d never encounter enemies today.

It’s still fun, but I loved it around the time IC came out.

2015 Patch 1.6 & 1.7 was the best for me.

I really liked Homestead to in 2017.

Voted 2015. I'm on PC now but I started on console. I'll never forget the excitement of getting a physical copy at the midnight release at my local game store, and trying for countless hours after that to log in for more than 5 seconds without getting kicked. It was a rough start, but everything being fresh...stepping into Stonefalls for the first time, I'll never forget it.

I really enjoyed PvP in 2015, especially the PvP/PvE blend in Imperial City. I know there's probably people who put great stock in things like housing, costumes, festivals and stuff like that, but those things didn't exist back then and I never felt I missed anything because of it. So in that sense I've not gained anything, and since my favourite end game has gone down the drain of poor performance I consider it a net loss.

2016 (but only before Dark Brotherhood destroyed my white werewolf) :'(



I also liked One Tamriel; no more useless mobs below my level + ruby crafting nodes everywhere I remember when it just hit PTS, I logged in to test this, saw few Ruby nodes in Auridon, and logged out cause I couldn't contain the joy of this simple discovery

Every other update removes some fun out of the game And I never enjoyed the game more than I did during just a few months of 2016.

Running as white ghost werewolf everywhere, doing quests and RP in cities as friendly werewolf. No nasty dire wolf pets, timer refill on heavy attacks and pouncing/feeding on critters. At least I have those memories, but new players will never experience this werewolf fun; Greymoor's justice system is the most awful thing which happened to werewolves (and vampires, my poor vampires...) since Dark Brotherhood





NPCs like to have friendly werewolf around.





+ some more pre-Dark Brotherhood werewolf fun:

getting (mostly) better every year

Not necessarily biased if OP doesn't need your opinion, for what ever reason.
Not every poll needs to be aimed towards everyone

Also, OP asks "[...] enjoyed the most" not if you've enjoyed it at all. So you can, if you like, join the poll if you have one specific year that stands out to you

Me for example enjoyed 2015 the most. A huge reason is because of the people I was playing with in pve. Another reason was the pvp+pve we had in Imperial City and I simultanously had huge hopes that ZOS would polish the area and keep working towards that type of gameplay. Instead they did a 180
