Hello community,
After some years i decided to come back to ESO after trying another MMO and realising ESO did it better(in most parts).At first i loged in because of nostalgia but i quickly decided to start playing this game actively once again and some things immediately started bothering me and i would like to share them.They most likely have been discussed already but i want to share my point of view.I could mention some things like pvp lag etc but i will focus on 2 quality of life improvements:
1)Build change inconvenience
In the old days we used to spend a lot of gold and time in game to respec if we wanted to change from pvp to pve and it led to a lot of issues like wasting time or skipping one aspect of the game entirely which led to less activity in both pvp and pve content.I noticed the addition of the armory system which you can save builds and save a lot of time but when you put things to practice the inconvenience is still there in a smaller scale.Ever since i played this game i felt like i wanted to play more but the game didn't help me get in the action fast enough.In an every day scenario what happens if i want to play pvp and pve interchangeably i would have to teleport to my home and use the armory which means i cannot do anything else.If you do this once it is not that big of a deal but through time it adds up to a lot of time spended teleporting back and forth for no actual reason.In the meantime i am not able to do quests,general activities in the world,dailies etc.I believe you need to change it into a tab where you can change build from anywhere.I point this out because it is a feature that should be taken for granted.You did good to implement it as it improved quality of life but it failed to remove every last bit of inconvenience like teleporting back and forth and watching loading screens for no reason.
2)Party finder
If you asked me why i stopped playing i would answer that it became too difficult to find a group to do harder content.If my mates were offline and my guild was busy it was almost impossible to find the right people.The reason it was impossible is that i could not reach them.They could be in another zone,another guild etc.We come to a point where if i want to play i would have to teleport around zones and ask people to join for the specific content.I remember i had to do it even for farm runs in nMOL i would ask craglorn and then circle teleport around the capitals which leads to more wasted time and effort.Why isn't there a system to create and find lobbies to meet people who want to do the same tasks as you(achievement runs,farm runs,trials).This way we could reach the whole playerbase and not only those who happen to see a message in zone chat.
These were two of the issues i stumbled on after returning which players will compare with other games and find eso lacking.You created a lot of beautiful content and i believe you must let your players get in there fast without pointless teleports and loading screens which makes them feel the game itself is adding obstacles instead of giving them the tools to get into the action.
Thank you for reading this far and i hope ESO will improve and take the place it deserves in the MMO community.
