I did not vote myself, so that this would not be a biased post/poll. Tbh I am not concerned either, and I do now regret using the word "worried" in the title. I probably could have come up with something better, but I was in a rush to post this before it slipped my mind.Please support my Quality of Life Suggestions here:

belial5221_ESO✭✭✭✭✭NoI never changed my playstyle or gear in years.I'm guessing a major change will hopefully be how dungeon finder works,since there's ging to be a endless dungeon.1 -

✭Nah, not playing the game atm, whatever lol....currently I prefer Grahms Meat-Week and the new scoreboard in F76 to standing around at ESO worldbosses waiting for an hour for other players to show up. Did not buy Necrom, and feel it was the correct choice after the feedback I've read.
So no new content that would keep me engaged, old content getting more difficult (less players, more nerfs). So not looking forwards more of such changes at all.1 -
jcaceresw✭✭✭✭✭NoNo, at the moment U40 goes live I already should have my ESO+ taken down because I plan to take another break, hopefully for more than 2 years.2 -

✭✭✭✭The forums will burn with rage whatever is revealed, it will be fun, time to stock up on the popcorn.Not really. If some scary patch notes come out, maybe, but I think the dust will settle like it always does. If I like the game after, I'll still play. If not, I move on or take a break.
I'm actually looking forward to the Endless Dungeons, hopefully they have some cool sets and rewards. If nothing else, it'll be something to do with the wife.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭The forums will burn with rage whatever is revealed, it will be fun, time to stock up on the popcorn.I expect a bunch of combat changes that nobody wants and don’t address any real balance concerns. I expect feedback about the changes to be met with contempt by the studio. I expect major bugs (like the immortal arcanist condition) to go unaddressed.
So no, I am not worried. My expectations are too low to bother with worry.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche7 -
jommerryrth✭✭✭my stamplar healer is fun. sio long as i can fly through the air and slam the ground with my 2h mace, i guess i'll be alright. those aoe heals and such are pretty good even for stam healers. choke thorn getts the ones that aoe heals miss. and i still have bol for emergencies and that pvp thing for heals for people close around me in melee. And i still get to do jabby jabby with the light spear thing. so def 2h/dw heals is a thing. why worry? oh and did i mention healing barrier and orbs? no worries here.0

There’s so many incredible games this year. If ESO really wants to retain players and bring in lots of new ones, they’re going to have to blow it out of the water.

✭NoAs others have said, why should we "worry" about a game? If it's still fun then play on. If it's not, move on. I guess some people have such amazing lives that they need something trivial like this to expend mental energy on.3 -

✭✭NoIt's unlikely but possible the update will collect personal info, accounts and passwords, send it to hackers then encrypt all data on system and demand ransom in bitcoins. What's there to worry about?Edited by rpa on August 31, 2023 4:04PM2 -

This has and will continue to be a really amazing year for gaming.

Tandor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭YesMore concerned than worried. I never used to be, but in my view ZOS have made a lot of mistakes over the last 18 months or so, and taken together they do cause me some concern as to how they intend to move forward. In particular, their stated reason for switching achievements to being account-wide, namely the need to reduce the demands on the database in order to accommodate future additions to the game, if true, leaves me concerned as to what other core aspects of the game they may need to spoil for that same reason.
Then the move towards flashy visuals is also a cause for concern so far as I'm concerned. and I fear more of the same being introduced. They seem to want to move the game away from what it always used to be, and developers who do that generally find that they don't attract the new players they were looking for but instead lose the hitherto loyal existing ones.5 -

✭✭✭✭✭Nah, not playing the game atm, whatever lol....There's always something coming, don't care anymore after years of actually caring and making feedback and testing on PTS. If it's good I'd might play, if not that's fine as there's no shortage of games atm luckily.1 -

✭✭From U39 I learned that what ZoS considers Quality of Life and what the players consider QoL are two vastly different things, so I will retain my usual skepticism about the upcoming update.8 -

✭✭✭✭✭NoI wouldn't have even known there were combat changes in U35 if not for all the (please forgive my choice of words, but it's my honest opinion) overblown hysteria about it before it had even dropped. I couldn't even tell any differences on my characters and with my playstyle.
On the other hand, there were a couple of updates a year or three before U35 that hit me pretty hard.
After the earlier one, my mains could barely solo resources in Cyrodiil anymore, which was something I enjoy doing since I am lousy at actual PvP, but eventually I adapted-- or else there were just further balancing changes-- and I was back to being able to solo resources.
After the more recent one-- the year before U35-- my PC EU main could no longer solo a certain boss in Northern Elsweyr, and some of the other world bosses in the game I'd enjoyed soloing were much harder to get through without dying several times. But I've adapted as best I could-- without making any gear changes or respecs, just modifying my combat rhythms a bit and watching my Stamina and Health resources more carefully.
U39 has been pretty good for my characters, as far as I can tell; as with U35, I haven't even really noticed any changes.
So I'll roll with any punches and go with the flow as best I can, whatever may come.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!4 -

✭✭NoI hope they make lots of big changes as long as they turn out to be good ones. The game is in a stale state right now with low player counts and needs a refresh.1 -
Dragonredux✭✭✭✭✭NoI only care about the Endless Dungeon. No use worrying about the next bad change.1 -

SandandStars✭✭✭✭✭Yesevery update for the last 2-3 years introduces more bugs into pvp combat than existed before and they don’t get fixed, so yes.

Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.3 -

✭YesOf course I'm worried; petrified even. I mean, what if the marketing department got the spelling wrong, and it's actually "Endless Are-the-chives"?!?

It could be worse: it could be 'endless arc hives' whereby every time you wipe, your character gets arc-shaped hives and they persist on a timer, like bounties. The more you wipe, the more 'endless' the hives seem.2 -

✭✭✭✭Dunno, can't wait to see!I'm not worried and will watch the stream to find out what's coming down the pipe. If I like it, great! If not, I'll do what I'm doing now. Daily writs and endeavors, and that's all. Most of my gaming time is already being spent elsewhere.
So...dunno. If it's good, maybe I'll play ESO a little more. If it's not so good, no change. If it's terrible, I might cancel my sub and come back when new story content drops.2 -

Point is take everything in stride and roll with the punches.1
