do you have much hope in this game and tell us why

elsom23 · June 2014

Do you trust Paul sage propaganda the elder scrolls online development team will make the game better do you agree on the development team where is your subscription really going towards the game or in to the pocket of the makers are they listening to us we want your to tell us how the game is for you

Stratti · June 2014

No I do not

The game is awesome but out of balance . Their focus is on destroying DK because of a FoTM cookie cutter 'exploit'

The game is flawed in that magicka builds with LA can spam abilities that are too cheap

Melee is about right ( I am sword and board) and large pulls are challenging but not faceroll

If they wake up to it all good if not o well

I think not

stevenpotter321b14_ESO · June 2014

Um, I trust what he says is true. He gave no hard date for anything, no set in stone game plan. Is it game political speech, yes. Is it subject to change, yes. Am I sitting around giggling like a 9th grader asked by a senior to prom, no. Am I resubbed atm, no. Will I be in the future, maybe.

Dealdrick · June 2014

They obviously have no idea how to balance classes and weapon skill lines. They would rather nerf ways for players to grind quick Vet XP instead of fixing huge bugs that have been exploited for weeks, and of course, ban people indiscriminately for no reason (literally, they don't give you a reason why) and take 3-4 to give you your account back.

Worst MMO dev team I have ever encountered.

Dusty5 · June 2014

I have no hope for this game its a done deal. This comes down to 2 major issues. 1. ZSO has still not established a clear direction for a product with this many issues to be wasting time trying to push new content and screwing with class nerfs at the same time is insanity. It seems to me no one in management taken control to focus on the major issue at hand. That issue is fixing the multitude of bugs that should of been cleared in beta or release should of been pushed back. 2. Time is against ZSO and they know it,puff posts on the home website does little or nothing to repair the beating they have taken in the press. E3expo is next week for those that do not know it is the superbowl event for the industry and marketing. Every year this beast grows and grows and its covered by the international press. This roadkill is out for everyone to see and theres no time left to bury the body or put lipstick on this pig.

Agreed

Loco_Mofo · June 2014

Judging by how they've handled the game since release, no.

Maverick827 · June 2014

This development team simply cannot put out the right content at the right time and at the right pace. Whoever is calling the shots isn't doing a good job.

Ragnar_Lodbrok · June 2014

As long as Zeni runs this game? Hell no

Rev Rielle · June 2014

Of course I do.

If you look at things objectively - and don't get caught up in the whining that is incessant on these forums unfortunately - you'll see that Zenimax are doing at lot and on the whole trying to move the game in the right direction. Sure they've made some mistakes, and done things we don't like, but only a spoilt, selfish person would expect any game (or any thing for that matter) to be perfect.

The personal opinions that are often expressed crassly on these forums and the actual reality of what's going on with the game are poles apart. Try not to get caught up in the dribble spewed over these pages and you'll realise it's hardly as bad as it's touted to be.

elsom23 · June 2014

do you agree the development team have much learning to do because patch updates with endgame content all time is not way to go yes or no

And what direction is that? Why is it the right one? Sorry, but I don't see much of a direction at all......

Natjur · June 2014

Once they fix the bugs and balances between classes, then a full reset and release this game out of beta then..... oh wait, its released already. Nope, no hope as I don't think the dev's play the game, if they do they play sorcs and DK only.

The game is pretty and the quests are cool, but no one V1+ does quests, they just grind in Craglorn from V1 to V11 and then at V12 do trials
Even playing a 'unbalanced class' I really had fun doing all the quests from L1 to V10
And I would like to thank the devs for that, but V11-V12 and the Craglorn release..... it just pointed out who bad the class balances are.

Wildstar is not a great game but it gives me a lot more to do them ESO at the moment, as a templar I get no trials runs (my V10 DK gets heaps) and no one does quests. PVP is too unbalanced so that leaves me ........moving on.

Anilahation · June 2014

It's a game with an open class system.... but it waste it in RvR instead of structured PvP.

elsom23 · June 2014

I agree the development team ban just about anyone for no reason at all I want to know all your opinions on the game how do you feel about the power us players have over this game in my eyes they are testing ourselves how far we would go to quit the game

herpadurp? There has only been one content update so far and tons fixes / updates / testing balance features. Are you saying that you have seen them release new content more often than fixing things?

take a look at what actually has been happening and what Zen has been actively doing / fixing / testing / releasing.

Then you may find the clarity you need.

Now this is a constructive, non-trolly post =p

Seriously though, what direction? There are numerous bugs that have not been fixed after weeks, effectively builds are constantly being nerfed while stamina builds are basically garbage and have not been addressed. Then you have nightblades......

Honestly, what direction are they heading? The lack of leadership and communication from Zeni is pathetic. Those aren't tears, I've moved on for now and I'm perfectly content to be.

Update 2 more endgame content
Update 3 more endgame content
Update 4 more endgame content
Update 5 player housing maybe whole new skill lines from new guilds we never heard of at all
They fix but more bugs come out every time they do

Thank you for linking an article that does almost nothing to address the concerns the player base has. The most telling aspect of it is that they actually attempt to define for us what an MMO is as opposed to telling us what direction the are heading.

More content, great! Thats exactly what an MMO does, stating that you are going to produce more of it is like Wal Mart saying "hey! its Tuesday! stuff is on sale!"

Class ability status, nerfs for DK, again, and they acknowledge NBs are bad. How insightful and helpful.....

If you think this article actually helped their cause, then you and I have very different views on how to run a company.

Mortelus · June 2014

They are trying, I think we can all see that. But for me this game has been ruined by bots.

Zeni seem intent on trying to lure players with content rather than fixing fundamental flaws in their system.

Trying? Maybe. I'm not paying them to try though, I'm paying them to deliver. If they don't, I'll pay someone else. This isn't the place for an elementary school participation award...

elsom23 · June 2014

money we invest to support this game seems its going right in to the pockets and not towards the game come on tell us what you really think get on this post and comment your issue on this game

Blackwidow · June 2014

I hope they fix a few things.

Lack of end game
Near empty PvP
Lack of feedback from devs
Bugs/crashes
Bleak dungeons
Unbalanced classes
Lag
Memory leak problems
Bad grouping tools
Tiny banks
Bad guild banks options
Lack of an real open world
Can't reply in mail
Can't right click to send mail
Can't right click to invite to guild
No AH
No dueling
Vet levels are just a sad story that makes you repeat the quests of the other factions
No underwater swimming
No law system
No housing
Lack of user friendly GUI
No options for floating names

Does that count?

driosketch · June 2014

I was going to ask if this was a serious appeal to discussion or another gripe filled thread of misery looking for company. But I can already see most of the repliers are pessimistic, and ready to jump on the first person to speak a positive note.

On the off chance this thread is sincere, I have much reason to be optimistic about this game. I've also been beta testing for these devs for a while. Are they perfect? No.

Does this game have pontenial? At its core, absolutely. It's a fun game with a lot of promise, personally speaking as a long time Elder Scrolls fan. I doubt it will make MMO veterans who want more of what they're used to happy. But who knows?

Do I think the Devs will make the game better? Hell yes! Once I got into it, I really liked Craglorn and its story. To be clear, I am primarily a solo player. I'm excited about the new content coming as well. I don't know were people got into the habit of doubting ZOS would follow through. They may have been late on a number of things, but have delivered on many things despite the naysayers claiming it would never happen. And still the naysayers persist no matter how often they are proven wrong.

Does ZOS listen to players? Again, definitely yes. You think bolt escape was nerfed because ZOS doesn't listen to players? Ah, but there's the problem isn't it? Sometimes they listen to players you disagree with. And it's very easy to fall into that trap, thinking that the devs, when their priorities don't match yours, don't listen at all.

Consider stepping back and reevaluating your perspective.

SharranAes · June 2014

I do

Now, if people only calmed down on the constant whining, and let the devs sort issues out before threatening with self-starvation, suicide, and sacrificing kittens to Satan...
...The world would be a better place

Have patience...
ESO is still young, and anyone who's ever played an MMO (Or knows what those letters stand for) should've known it would be a rocky start (Server lag/Exploits etc), expected class balancing (AKA Buffs & Nerfs), and should not be the least bit surprised bots and gold sellers exist (Yes, it sucks, but all we can do are report them, and hope they get caught)

The devs are actually trying to do something - They are not absent
However, they have to scroll through a thousand groundless whining posts/doomsayers before they can find part of an actual feedback

Just... Calm down, and let things get sorted out, please?

elsom23 · June 2014

The game needs a update to fix movement issues what do you think needs to be fixed and what content do you want to see in elder scrolls online give me your opinion on this do you trust the development team are they listening to us no only a few players a week

I certainly agree it has potential, that is precisely why I am so disappointed. Imagine if NBs were actually viable? Or, if Cyrodill was actually playable during large scale fights? This game CAN be a lot of fun, but the dev team is arguable causing more problems than they are fixing.

The way they have handled class balance so far has been awful. This is a fact. There is a mod started thread stickied specifically about how one class is NOT balanced at all.

On some level they may listen to the player base, but what they do about it is controversial to say the least. Up to this point they have been nerf happy and ignored calls to fix bugs for weeks.

Lee · June 2014

This thread is the reason why you should take most forum users with a grain of salt. I'm a little concerned about where the game is going and I may not resub next month, however I'm not going to bash the game while avoiding reality like most forum whiners do.
