Bad decisions and a small truths...

- Class balance is a huge issue right now (all DK's and Sorcs).
- PvP is in very poor shape.
- Weapons skills are garbage compared to Class skills (you truly struggle if you try a stamina only build)
- Vampires and Weres are still horrible - truly horrible
- We all know the bots are winning ESO.
- There is no END - GAME - Grinding VR ranks is not fun for the casual majority player base.
- If they would have made the entire map open to all to explore from lvl 10+ THAT my friends would have been a great Elder Scrolls Game! (not just post VR1)
We all know that they nerfed Biting Jabs (Templar skill) because of the bots abusing it. People argue, well its too OP in PvP, they had to do something! So... the interrupt on venom arrow is not OP because it can be spammed and does infinite spell stun lock, DK's Talons CC are also not, Sorcs crystal shard knockdown? (just proving a point) Hmm, so, common sense tells me, implement CC timers, so perma-stuns go away, rather than killing class skills...
Now bots are rolling DK's to spam insta dps/hps (heal) to grind, instead of Templars, so are they going to get the NERF bat to the face?
You hurt the average player base of Templars to combat bots for no good reason. These changes you keep making are small time, lower morale, and do nothing good for the game. Who is running the show making these calls?
Lets face it, you are a revenue based company, you need income to survive, so why do you keep making changes that you all (ZOS) want to see, rather than what the player would enjoy and have fun with?
The bots have not gotten better, they are now worse, they have node bots, train bots, defender bots, teleport, etc.
I love Elder Scrolls, but see no direction in which this game is headed... ZOS has no published road-map, no goals, no dreams... they are stuck in a reactive state rather than proactive.
Thanks for the read,

Tendeep✭✭✭should of just banned all templars imo, makes just as much sense
To add on to what you have said - Yes, it does feel that way does it not? The logic behind their decisions makes no common sense. This is why people are giving up and canceling.

ZOS needs to find a path, some goals, soon... stop implementing what feels like half-assed attempts to fix problems that do not exist ;-)
At least let us feel like you listen... Broadcast the "known issues, and our fixes soon to come" areas more often. Stop playint the PR game and admit you are f'ing up, own up to it, and work with us, testers, etc to fix this sinking ship.0 -
Arthur_Spoonfondle✭✭✭✭A couple of points in answer to the OP.
I have seen very few bots since the last patch and my nightblade archer is doing very nicely thank-you, on stamina only, using mainly bow skills. Your opinion is only your view of the truth.1 -

✭✭✭✭Nerf whatever the player-base complains about next! $ in the bank! Oh, hold on...
(in all seriousness, I love the game, but am getting a bit sick of the nerf bat being applied without much real look at balance in both PvP and PvE tbh).GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC
Epona was a Romano-Celtic goddess dating back to around 1800 to 2000 years before computer games were invented.1 -
p.hurst1b16_ESO✭✭✭The game needs structured endgame and structured pvp.
The whole thing is so vague.
The feel of the VR is the same as it was leveling. Does not matter how the extra ranks or levels are divided up, it just stakes so long to play all that content. Instead of feeling like I had arrived, I ended up back at the beginning again.
I am staring to think the game needs shutting down and revising. FFXIV had similar problems, class issues, content deficiency and just about the opposite of the whacky gear issues this game has.
Something needs doing on the client side to stop the easy botting. The client is a weak point and the starting areas are pure misery for any new player now. If I had seen it like this when I had first started I would have never stayed more than a few minutes.
If anyone asked you what the game would be like as a new player now, what could you tell them that would make them want to play, without lying ?

Correct, and thanks for the reply!
I can only speak for the classes that I have played, but as my primary sword and board tank Templar, it hurts my soul to play now. Our defense comes from our Stamina pool, our attacks come from our stamina pool, our sprint comes from our stamina pool - See the pattern?
Magic pool is not impacted in the same manner. If you do not want any magic in the build you suffer. I manage, but I do not have near as much fun as my now DK Tank using 90% class skills and 0 to 1 weapon skill. I also have a VR ranked Nightblade Archer, and have tested that using only Bow skills I feel imbalanced in some ways.0 -

I agree, this is why I keep rolling alts, but I am quickly getting tired of the lack of re-play value. Time is running out (for me that is, I can only speak for myself)

✭VR content does seem like a band-aid while they come up with real end-game content. So, you're right: No End game is a big issue.
Other than that--what you list are pretty typical regarding MMO's constantly dealing with balance issues, bugs that crop up when other bugs are fixed, and hackers.
Frequent ANY other MMO board and you hear the same exact kind of stuff, constantly. And it's always "completely broken and the worst it's ever been!!!!"This message confirms that you have successfully cancelled your subscription to The Elder Scrolls Online.
