Suddenly lost interest in the game :(

AreoHotah · June 2014

And a couple of weeks ago i could have sworn i will play this game a long time.

I maxed out all 6 professions a few days ago. I can craft like anything in the game. I curently have 286k gold and at least another 200k worth of mats in my bank, 150 bank and inv slots, all motifs known, 47k max horse and i'm VR6. Only VR6 because i found this veteran leveling very boresome so i stopped and starting to craft alot of stuff for many people. Gold was coming in daily (20-30k a day) just by crafting and selling. I am part or 4 trading guilds with 500 members each so i can find anything in their bank when i need something. It's so easy to make gold in this game, who need gold sellers??? BUT... it became boring the last few days so i didn't even manage to stay logged in more than 20 mins

I also work 9 hours a day so you can't say that i've played this game too much... kinda sucks really, wish this game kept me going for long but it seems it doesn't

PS : all 6 professions have max skill points in passives and i still have 4 zones to collect skyshards from. What i'm i supposed to use those skills on? I already found a build for my nightblade wich i do VR6 zone just fine solo.

It happens to the best of us.

If you quit, can I have your gold?

Can I have your stuff?

Unfortunately, a lot of MMOs seem to hit the plateau of long term relevance and fail.

Some survive to provide stimulating content, progressive game design and strive for balance and player base satisfation.

Beta and three months subscription revenue has yet to yield game stability, a workable solution to bots and class balance.

I'm afraid you're in a "twiddling thumbs vortex" for some time to come.

The VR levels were a huge mistake. They should have keep the cap at 50 and put the time and development effort into better end game PvP and PvE.

daneyulebub17_ESO · June 2014

No game is going to survive that many hours of grinding, grinding, grinding. Barely two months in, and you've burned yourself out. Next time take it a bit more easy perhaps?

Fuzzylumpkins · June 2014

I would chime in with "can I has your lewts" as well but honestly I have been giving my crap away. Since we are tossing in our resume here:
VR12
-maxxed profs
-all traits researched (that was not fun)
-2 horses 1all stam/ 1 speed
-150 inv slots on 5 toons(4 banks)
-No less than a full stack of each legendary mat (4+ stacks of blue/epic mats)
-no less than 50k+ AP every run in Cyrodil (I know that isn't much, relative to my play time it is fine as I went from 3+hours a day to less than 2 hours every other day)
-Respec'ed skills 7 times at 250 skill points to train EVERY potential weapon/ style/ ability/ morph for that 'just in case' moment that all the good abilities got nerfed (as they are)
-Leveled and cured vamp and ww so those options were there but my preference is neither.

Looking over this list, that isn't even nearly finished, I realised my account is worth something, elsewhere. Hmm. Right, good day guys, I have some googling to do

P.S @op also found the game suddenly was not engaging at all.

Final Fantasy XI. Stayed in business for a hell of a long time. You couldn't even fight stuff your own level on your own. But know what? It was hard as hell and really rewarding albeit a little grindy.

I hope you enjoy a little break from this "unchallenging" mmo according to you, and then find something more fun to do with your summer.

I salute you for maxing out Enchanting though, even more than finding a great build for working your Nightblade

I'm definitely jelly about that. *Slogs on looking for more runes...the right runes...any runes...

Lol at all traits researched on all professions.. Lol HARD.

It is funny that game overall has better UI engine and job playability.

Oh, and you can search an AH/store. For an item you want.

Wouldn't it be cool if they made skill chains? This would make grouping and different weapon type of players.

Personally I truly hope they do crafting quest able and combinable like FFXIV

Right now FFXI launched with a thing called capacity points. These are enhancements to your job traits.

But in ESO case it could of been a vetren rank skill point to put in vetren rank tree. Every time you leveled.

A question. Do you use the addons like Skyshard map, quests map, leveling exp best per hour, etc.

Have you done any actual exploring and found any of these word things, like the lone house in the middle of nowhere, with an old lady in, who wants you to listen to her tale. You can choose several times to quit and the dialog changes so you cant just click on.

After you listened to the whole story, she asks you a question, and if you get it right, you get a skillpoint.

If your answer is Yes, you used the addons, level guilde, maps etc, then I understand why you lost interest.

Check out the road ahead. Maybe something there catches your interest?

Fuzzylumpkins · June 2014

13 days 18 hours. My /played on my account before any scrubs pull some crap about how we must play 24/7 to cap everything. No, some of us actually play smart/ effectively and have zero interest in listening to endless horrible voice acting for side quest. Do whats required and move on to what makes things happen quickly such as early VR dungeon farms that quickly levelled everything, dropped goods that sold for a fortune and so on that have now been nerfed due to tears.

So no, what some of us did effectively , no player will be able to do again.

felixgamingx1 · June 2014

This game is over for me it's going to take a really legendary expansion to get me back here.

You guys believe after a whole month the forums home page still doesn't work on mobile?

100000000 bugs only about 150 fixed.

ZOS failed bad and failed me as a customer same for Bethesda the publisher

I passed on wolfestein because it's published by Bethesda.

you could have least read all i have written. i am only vr6. i don't grind. i hate grinding.

i have a friend that has ALL traits ressearched. on 6 different alts :P he can't make 8 traits gear but he makes more than decent gold selling ANY trait.

AreoHotah · June 2014

One thing that i wanted to do the other day is get some achievements you know??...

But then i checked my completed quest achievements and the zones that i cleared in the EARLY ACCES still has 0/59 so i lost interest imediately...

"Did effectively". Such a strange choice of words for the player that looks for the easiest way to obtain goods or level. In this case you sound to be one of those particular gamers who like to play the 'economy' game in MMOs.

This is another one of the bigger inherent problems in todays MMO. The hard core gamer is either rushing to max level and end content or rushing through content to locate the means to get 'rich' quick as a crafter/AH type of player. This is another reason we see the market flux up and down so much and with frequency like we did in this game.

Bye is really all i have to say to you. I do not feel bad for you or any of the other hard core types who burn themselves out looking for the easy way through the game.

Tarwin · June 2014

Take a break and try some F2P stuff. Eventually the ESO gene will kick back into action (and if you are away long enough maybe some interesting stuff will have happened)

cisadanepajsuxrwb17_ESO · June 2014

Something substantial needs to happen sooner.....i used to be a vehement defender of this game but i am starting to see myself swaying....and if you see our gen.discussion topics.....well...nuff said

DuelWieldingCheesyPoofs · June 2014

Same something needs to happen, or a simple acknowledgement of our issues and an aswer with palns for future.

I think thats arguable really. The fact you have done so much content are you are now 'bored' is an argument to say you have played too much! I am not criticising here, just putting across a different view

I played several of the betas, have played since early access, have a full time job (45+ hours a week) and support a wife and two children. I have got 1 character to lvl 44 (+ and alt to 22) and maxed Alchemy and Provisioning only (still missing loads of recipes though)

The game is not engaging enough. That is why you are BORED.

ttwinklerub17_ESO · June 2014

1. world too small
if you travel by foot or horse how long would it take you to travel across earth
let alone explore it and every inch and then caves,underground and oblivian

2 leveling too easy - should be exponentially harder to climb up - making it a challenge to get there
the original Elderscrolls games were like that

3 dungeons too easy - and too small
they need some imagination when designing caves/dungeons cities and buildings

4 no way you should be leveling by exploring - walk around do nothing but find locales and you go up

no way you should be able to finish a game in a week and then be bored by it
this tells me world was too small and leveling too easy

like can you travel by foot across north america let alone planet earth in 1 week(not including exploring every inch of it)
so why can it be done here?

if world was smaller... then gravity be like the moon

had they kept the original skill system from Morrowind and leveling that way
and had inventory and personal carrying weight system from morrowind
based on weight - bank can be weight as well)

we could carry based on our stamina or our ability to get armor with alteration(levitation/reduced carry weight) or throw alteration spells to helps us carry more

stamina earned by jumping.leaping running swimming climbing

they went backward with a lot of things - trying to fit this into a console game for kids rather than grown ups who want real meat to a game

where are the skooma dens and moonsugar,blackmarket sellers/fencers and red light districts

theives guilds, assassin guilds, nightmother, the tongs, etc
no ARENA's - what that been around since the beginning
no gambling dens?

I miss using 4 ingredients for potions
I miss using the different tools (combination of alchemy tools - 4 of them) to create stuff too
it was a kind of guessing game what tools or combination of tools to use with what ingredients to make something
(that's the challenge)

repairing armor - was useful for fixing your own stuff and for leveling up armor skills

no climbing mountains? what - I miss going everywhere
stupid making areas you can't reach
no swimming?
no pearl and clam hunting

and not be able to swim to islands or mainland that you see
(it should be all on one map and then we can get rid of the slaughterfish walls)

and for god sakes add more skills like gem cutting, jewelry making/appraising
speech skills - barter skills

no hand to hand combat?
no unarmored?

where are conjuration and alteration spells

like I said the developers went backwards

mndfreeze · June 2014

You hit enter way to much. I can't read your post.

Rev Rielle · June 2014

Levels & gold. Levels & gold...

Honestly, if you play the game with that focus it's no surprise you got bored. Not once in your post did you actually mention one bit of game content. *shrugs*.

Have you tried EVE Online, it's good game and might be something you're interested in. It's all about gold, well ISK, but you get the idea.

reggielee · June 2014

to the OP.. .take a break. I do frequently. When you treat a game like an entertainment outlet and not a job it can keep it fresh and fun.

Im not being rude, what i am talking about is the focus alot of us do (me included) where the game becomes driven by goals.. like.. I HAVE to log on to finish my crafting tier, feed my horse, check research, finish this exploration quest, and various other 'to do' lists that the game becomes more like work then a fun way to spend two hours.

when was the last time you just mounted up with empty bags and explored, role played with people hanging round in cities, chatted with guildies while your character stood idle or maybe followed and helped one of them on their to do list. it can be fun to get off the grindstone and just hang and be lazy and not acoomplish ONE thing in game.

heh

kaosodin · June 2014

You leveled to fast friend. Need to wait for more content

Zershar_Vemod · June 2014

OP, it sounds like you've been overdoing it - take a small break.

I'm only VR3, and haven't done half of what you did; I've been taking time and just doing everything at a slow pace and I haven't lost any interest because of that.
