Can't really vote since I'm already sort of on and off already. Only really logging in because of my subscription, and on rare occasions sticking around longer if a friend needs help or wants to spar in a PvP duel.

We’ll see. I will give it a try, but my subscription may not be renewed.

These updates are not promising and not asked for or wanted.

Showing parse videos really doesn’t do anything for me. Using dummy humpers as a representative sample of the community is just not wise.

Basically they say, “here! Dummy *** Yolo420 only parsed 30% lower. Great changes!”

Um. No.

i dont really see myself changing my playtime

i already dabble and play other games so i dont burnout too bad on eso lol

one game i have played on the side is lost ark, but also have a library of steam games numbering around 1750 lol

I'm an Elder Scrolls player, first and foremost. I've subjected myself to- and mastered- meta so that I can experience content and get the good rewards, but I don't give a rat's behind about it in the grand scheme of things. I don't find it innately enjoyable, and the "skill" aspect of it feels artificial, unintuitive and unsatisfying. I've come to believe, from my involvement in various communities around Elder Scrolls outside of ESO that this is a common perception, and for every one of me that persisted, there is a bunch of people that could have loved the game, but were disengaged because of the combat.

Since 2014 I've seen the dialogue around the game, as well as the meta- form, evolve and dominate, to the point where it, exclusively, seems to drive the direction of game development.

Numbers flag over time. The Covid "boom" is ending. People naturally move on. But Elder Scrolls 6 is on the horizon, and promises a new wave of interest. If the changes loosen the stranglehold, broaden the creative development space, and appeal to more Elder Scrolls people otherwise like me, but that were disillusioned with a meta that is so divorced from being in the world and in the mythology, it could be a very good thing, imv. So I guess that if ZOS were acting from this point of view, and I believe they are, and were to cave to a vocal minority, it would be evidence to me that they are hostage against things that need to happen. I can't say it would make me spend less time in ESO, but it would increase the feeling of disenfranchisement.

Even in Update 34, I log in, do easy endeavors, check enlightening exp, do rando if it's full, and log out. Not even doing writs for my quest log and inventory are full - and I don't want to bother myself by managing them.

Update plus the fact i wasted all my crowns and gold on appearance change tokens and i still didnt get what i wanted visually.

I don't do VetDungeons, Trials, or PvP.
So I couldn't care less about any combat changes, and will probably be playing exactly as much as I do now.

Changes in game mechanics can't affect the time I spend in ESO.

I have allway´s been able to handle, what ZOS throwe at me and that will not change this time eighter.

Now I just do my writs logg out, change account and play another mmo.

I have only one problem with this mmo and that´s the fake roles. I see how it´s hurting the community. As soon my craftig bag are near empty and no solution found I will redraw my sub after six year´s as a costumer.

Not really because of the patch but I find I already spend a lot less time then I used to in game, mainly due to character progression being almost nonexistent these days (I don't do HM Vet raiding). High Isle was a pretty big disappointment for me but I gave it a try anyways. In regards to U35, looks like it sucks, but we'll see.

Sub is cancelled, but is a yearly with several months left. I'm in the daily reward/endeavor boat. Should have plenty of seals to hopefully grab a nice mount I may have missed during Halloween season, but that may be the last thing I do. Don't do writs or pledges anymore.

I also very much agree with the people who generally say that it's not the fact that changes are being done, even though these don't look very good, but that it's the frequency of the changes.

I haven't cancelled my sub yet but it's already been over a week since I logged in and I've barely missed a day in over five years. It's not just about the specific changes themselves, although it definitely is about that too (especially as a magplar main whose class spammable now looks, feels, and hits so much worse), but the sheer size and extremity of the overhaul after so many significant overhauls has me feeling burned out and unenthusiastic.

The Elder Scrolls universe is my favourite fictional place and ESO has long been my home away from home, but this just feels like the last straw. Nerfing things by 30 and 40% every 6 months makes me feel like there is no solid plan for the game. There's no finetuning, it's huge swings first in one direction and then another. It doesn't make me feel like they're keeping it fresh, it makes me feel like someone doesn't know what they're doing.

I am a mid tier player. Not mid tier progging Godslayer, mid tier completing vDLCs, some vDLC hardmodes, and easier vet trials. Mid mid. These changes don't make my combat feel better. They don't make me hit harder. They don't make any content more accessible to me. They do the opposite of all those things. So despite this patch allegedly being done in order to benefit me, I'm only suffering as a result.

I'll do exactly however many days of whatever events I need to to be able to finish the Pure-Snow Indrik, because I wanted to complete that for years, but other than that I'm taking a break. I may or may not come back in Q4 to see how the High Isle storyline wraps up.

I have not canceled my sub yet. I'll at least wait and see how it goes but as of now on pts these changes are horrible especially the hard nerfs to to templars wardens and dk's. If they don't go back on these heavy nerfs destroying classes ill be move to another game for a while

I'm not going to reduce the time I play unless my gaming experience worsens, but I am also not going to subscribe to ESO Plus for any extended period of time given the uncertainty about how my gaming experience will be a few months from now.

I am already spending less time on ESO since the nerf started coming months ago. I find myself not doing anything unless I am running with a guild mate or guild group.
