For those of you sticking with the game. What daily tasks keep you occupied?

GrimCyclone · June 2014

Contrast this with another mmo you liked. For me personally, I just am not having as much fun as I could be having. I'm finishing up the VR++ from AD,EP, DC now in Rivenspire. I'm struggling to get through it all before I go back to SWTOR for a while.

However, I know my opinion is just me. So what about you guys? What draws you to this game that keeps you playing just like a player who likes WoW keeps playing WoW? What do you do? How does the game captivate you?

ipkonfigcub18_ESO · June 2014

I'm not having much fun anymore either. I got to V10 and well....you're lucky if you see anyone walking in the zones I'm in. Crag is not my thing especially when a good amount of my friends quit the game already. I'm not going to group quest an entire zone - I don't like grouping to quest I want that for myself. I group for dungeons and events and I enjoy grouping for those situations....NOT questing.

I have a few days left on my sub. I thought this was going to be my game of the future till I realized ZoS thought process and their lack of actually addressing skill/class bugs ASAP.

Log in, look for a Craglorn quest group or Vet Dugn run. Wait 2 hrs, give up, log out.

Found out my PC can run ESO and Wildstar at the same time, so now I play Wildstar while looking for a group in ESO (two monitors). No I am not saying Wildstar is better, its just sometime to do while I look for a group in ESO

This man brings up an interesting point. Play more than one MMO at a time. See that's my probably. I like to stick with just one and go hard at it. I mean sure sure.. i'll break sometimes and check another game out, but I have one main game. Hell, I've tried to do two, but I just don't like it. I feel like I'm being spread too thin.

Best I can do with that is play my PS3 RPGs when they come out and continue my mmo casually while I'm going through it. I.E. feed the horse and log out.

Zubba · June 2014

Pvp.

Nox_Aeterna · June 2014

I only need to finish the vr10 zone and then ... void.

I for sure wont be force into grouping to lvl , you can forget it , and zen did not dailies or anything else so ...

Currently im already playing other stuff like FO:NV , will probably also play child of light/transistor soon. Then i still got my 150+ games steam library to pick from.

Carnagan · June 2014

I have my V12 sword and shield Imperial Templar character and I'm waiting for a few of my friends to be ready to start doing that content. In the meantime:

1. Read the hireling emails. Seriously, they're awesome.
2. Feed the Horses.
3. Do any item refining and bank the stuff for later use.
4. Set any necessary researches.
5. Any V level buying and selling I need done.
6. Bit of PVP.

But the big one I'm doing:

7. Started a new character and starting the process all over again, but with a Breton Sorcerer. Not to dominate anything, as I probably won't even use the character much in PVP, but to see how the game plays from a completely different approach.

I'll be honest with you. Even if I could be invulnerable and all powerful in pvp and top of the leaderboards, it wouldn't interest me for more than a week.

When it comes to competition in mmos, I already know I'm the best. Not because I am, but because I know I could be if I cared enough to be. Problem is, I don't have an ego to stroke anymore. Sure I have self esteem, but I was the best at so many things early in life that it's no longer a carrot in front of me to run for.

I'm not sure if any of the rest of you understand that, but look at it this way. I see you guys? Running around or typing on these boards. None of you threaten me or inspire me. I don't look down on you, but I'm not the type of person that usually plays these game. So to be the best or to be "known" in these games wouldn't do anything for me.

Hell, I didn't even like being popular in school. The attitudes of the popular kids disgusted me. I was the odd good looking jock that hung around and joked with the outcasts.

That said, I did like the pvp in SWTOR. I like the quick re-entry to battle. Forward camps be damned.

BSGDevastator · June 2014

Killing VR12 Sorcs and DKs with my VR2 Nightblade. LOL

Paladin_echo1 · June 2014

Enchanting

. Its taking soooo long. But at least my DK is turning into a money factory atm. I do like all the quests though in the higher level areas. They are fun as well. I just hope that the next expansion they make it HARD for people to get ahead. That and start implementing new armors you can only get in dungeons that are well worth it. Speakin of which, any word on the accessory craft?

Lalai · June 2014

I'm only VR 3, so honestly the stuff I'm doing daily is just questing/crafting. When I do get to VR 10-12 I'll likely do some Craglorn stuff and start getting into PvP. Right now I've just been having fun doing all the quests and such for each of the areas.

Loco_Mofo · June 2014

Login, feed the horse, research a new clothing/blacksmith trait, run a quest, logout. Check the forums, shake my head, go play the UFC demo and Watch Dogs on the PS4.

Wow, just wow.

Ya know when you play deathmatch shooters, the guy who won is the guy that walks away, that's an instant take, as the highest score wins really.

You don't fell threatened, I am glad for you but worried too. It is tough growing up.

anakaki · June 2014

I can't PvP due to crashing. I do some trials, research and feed my horse. I can't believe I'm paying for this.

GrimCyclone · June 2014

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. I... I'm friends with Merlin Olsen, too. He comes over on occasion.

jamodo · June 2014

I'm just leveling alts on different factions. I like the fact that I can't go to a certain area of the zone because the mobs are a higher level than me. Rather a veteran zone where everything is the same level. Also experiencing different racial abilites, although my main is a VR12 DC Breton Nightblade. Interacting with different people from different factions is always fun.

Wow! I dont Pvp do be on any leaderboard. You assume alot by this post. I simply enjoy each and every fight in pvp. It gives me a thrill. Always has and probably always will. I am close to 50 years old and I don't need to stroke my ego. I play as a nightblade, and I love each and every fight. Even when I lose.

Nicky_W · June 2014

Lots of things.
I'm currently levelling my VR3 Dragon Knight.

I've parked my VR12 Templar for a while.
Most days I run some dungeons, farm a little, do some quests.

I will say that my 2nd playthough is far more enjoyable mainly due to not being a gimped templar.

Today I've mostly been questing, running a few of the low level group dungeons and testing out different builds.

Oh yeah I know. I'm just saying that's what I figured some people were doing it for. Lots of people wanna be the best. But of course it's fun. Like I said, I loved me some SWTOR pvp. Got full conqueror's gear for my sniper and sage.

Chatoyancy · June 2014

Questing/crafting/the usual. I enjoy the story line, and exploring the world, and trying to get achievements. My main is only level 40, but I am still in Malabal Tor -- not too happy that I've already out-leveled most of Reaper's March. Once she hits 50, I'll start leveling up one of my alts, since I have friends in different alliances and would like to play with all of them. I'll probably give VRs a try, but they don't sound like a huge amount of fun. I'll probably try PvP again too at some point, but I already know I suck at it.

As long as I keep it slow and don't run out of content that I enjoy (questing, mainly), ESO should be able to entertain me for awhile.

Compared to other MMOs... well, I played Lotro for two years (will probably go back to it eventually, but took a break to try ESO), and I'm currently not doing anything different from what I did there. My main was at level 55, I think, and level cap is 95? With several alts, all below 55.

Seriously, I don't think I am ever going to make it to max level on anything.

seaef · June 2014

Daily? Um...I don't have the time to play daily...

Besides, it's been sunny and in the 70's all week. I'm not sitting in front of a computer when it's beautiful outside.

Tavore1138 · June 2014

Feed horse.
Get hireling mails.
Do some quests in VR9.
Go look for someone in Deshaan to group for VR7 Vox.
Get bored waiting, stupidly try again solo and die...
Respawn and swear a bit.
Pay for repairs.
Go back to Rivenspire and run around a bit for crafting stuff.
Refine & hope for gold mats.
Edge 1% closer to level 40 Enchanting so I can make Gold Glyphs for my stuff.
Go to bed.

crislevin · June 2014

Slowing down now.

Went through all zones, craglorn is hard to quest, I'm not able to solo it, and groups are too much a commitment of time and effort.

Just collect some mat, it's near the end if nothing changes.

stabbykitteh · June 2014

I enjoy the questing, so that primarily. I also enjoy collecting crafting mats, alchemy & provisioning ingredients and going on occasional dungeon runs with friends.

Can't compare it to any other MMO's as this is my first.

DireKit · June 2014

Playing alts, leveling through again. Enjoying the process on different characters, with different choices, different abilities, different weapons, etc.

It's like real-life and people saying "I'm bored."

No, you're not bored; you're boring.

Inco · June 2014

Sell some GOLD refined items
Check Forums and comment complain (mostly about balance & build issues)
Logout w/o completing any AA or groups

andersan · June 2014

What really is there to do once you hit VR12 other than Trials or PVP or some very quick crafting stuff?

I see most people rolling alts to do the same exact quests over again. That sounds fun. Where is the variety? Seems like 90% of the things to do in this game are questing while leveling.

Ulalume · June 2014

I level new skill lines and new morphs, in case they ever become useful in pvp.
My brother and I duo group dungeons together with varying success.
I quite like the story so I go back to zones and complete any missing quests for achievements.
We are also still gearing up our characters for pvp.

Since no other game is coming out for a while I am okay just building my character here for now. That being said, I really miss structured pvp.

kaosodin · June 2014

Still leveling and having fun....only level 48

MasterSpatula · June 2014

Leveling. I have alt-itis.

I really hope they don't do this. Dedicated crafters should be able to make the best armor in the game, maybe getting ingredients from certain dungeons either themselves or through trade.

I don't want this game to turn into a dungeon-running gear grinder. Other games offer that.

As to the OP's question, my VR12 Templar is parked. I use him for crafting, so I do research and get stuff from hirelings. I also take him out to help guildies who are leveling and for guild activities.

I'm leveling a both a dragon knight and sorcerer and find those much more fun than the templar. I'm not sure which one I will focus on yet.
