✭✭✭✭✭I don't know why Gina would be acting all mysterious about it since ZOS already announced that Commander Keen game. Unless they're working on a second new title alongside.
I wouldn't completely discount the idea of an ESO 2. The game is nearing six years old now with several DLC content and three Chapters released with the fourth months away, not to mention all the performance issues the dated Engine and the networking has. If they start working on it now, they could have it ready sometime after Chapter four and five.CP1,900+ Master Explorer - AvA One Star General - Console Peasant - The Clan

Criticism has its place. If I buy a car and it breaks down before I get out of the dealership, I don't have to be a mechanic to know they probably suck at servicing cars. Nor to I need to be a chef to know that crap tastes bad.
When performance issues with a product are ignored for years and "fixed" things stay broken, it's not unreasonable to assume a level of incompetence. Every organization has areas of incompetence. The trick is identifying and resolving it.1 -

Considering ESO was their first (only?) attempt at an MMO, coupled with their experiential knowledge from developing ESO and the new technologies since ESO's release, and ESO 2 must be a very tempting prospect for them.
There is also a multitude of ways they could do it as well.
I quite like the idea of 3 different mega-servers - all share the same skills and equipment - PvP, PvE and RP. A player could then buy access to any of them and once purchased, could travel instantly from one to the other. By separating them, you would have much stronger communities and a lot of the toxicity between factions (eg PvP vs PvE) would be removed.

✭Their Glassdoor reviews are interesting. A handful of respondents reported that they hire to fix time issues instead of fixing the issues that cause time management problems. There is also a lot of positive feedback and a handful of accusations of toxicity, but you get that in every company.
I didn't know that they were located in Rockville. They could balance resources better by moving to an area with similarly available technical competence and lower cost of living. Or outsource, but they've probably already done that to the extent possible.1 -

ESO 2 will never happen. Period. I really want to know why people keep bringing up the idea of ESO 2. It's utopic. And if it DID happen it would imho actually hurt the community and the game, and even the company as a result due to instantly becoming split.
If you think of ESO 2 as a major upgrade to the game, then it's nothing more than a huge patch, regardless of whether you'd have to install it separately or not, hence making everything said here irrelevant.Edited by Nyladreas on December 10, 2019 2:22PM1 -

Every time they talk about the new game, it's labeled as a brand new AAA IP, so no, not Commander Keen and not ESO 2.0 -

One possibility is it's because ESO attracts lots of people who don't normally play MMOs and that's how it works in single-player games. Patches will fix bugs and glaring issues with simple solutions, DLC/expansions will add content but if you think anything about the game is fundamentally flawed you don't expect it to change, you hope there will be a sequel and that will be one of the changes.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

Yup, they've been talking the talk for years how ZOS should fix their ***, and how they could do a better job....back seat driving this whole time.
Well, here are the qualifications required to actually get in the drivers seat, now people can go fix the servers how they think it should be fixed. Based on how much whining I have seen on the forums, and complaining about how ZOS sucks, I definitely expect ZOS is going to suddenly get flooded with resumes now. There is just NO WAY we have people who talk the talk, but can't walk the walk.1 -

Yes, from your point of view something either works, or doesn't. You can definitely tell if it doesn't works....which is fine. But you take it to a mechanic when it doesn't work, because you yourself do NOT have the knowledge to determine WHAT is wrong, and HOW to fix it, and how LONG it will take to fix it.
The moment you step into the back of the shop, and start telling the mechanic how they should be fixing your car....well now there is a problem. Same with ZOS server and network engineers...you think you know HOW to fix their problem? You think what they are doing is the wrong way to fix it? Hm interesting...go put your money where your mouth is and go apply, and show them the error in their ways.
To Recap: Voice your concern that SOMETHING isn't working, is perfectly fine. As a consumer, that is within your scope of interaction of said product or services or goods. You call them and say "Hey object XYZ isn't working, here are the symptoms...", then you hand off the issue to them, and revert to their expertise. But that is where your part of the journey ends, right there. So you wait.....and wait, and wait until they have an up date, or a solution. Don't like waiting? Go get the proper certs, experience, knowledge, troubleshooting skills, become that engineer's boss, and boss them around all you want. Otherwise, state your issue, answer their questions, then sit down and stop moving your metaphorical sound whole. It's pretty simple actually.1 -

I believe the logic is that people can now put their money where their mouth is. They can now apply for all of the server related jobs, get hired, and finally fix all of the server problems in one weekend, which is something ZOS apparently "should" be able to do.
Well now it's your chance hot shots...lead by example, show us how GGEZ it is!1 -

Also I'm pretty sure no one's said that all of this is solvable within the timespan of a weekend, now you're just putting words where they never were and trying to validate your point with exaggerations.

Oh dear god why did you have to tell these people....
OKAY BEFORE ANYONE STARTS SCREAMING AND PANICKING WITH UNFOUNDED JOY, IT WILL NOT BE ESO 2.

New IP likely is a completely new title that has nothing to do with any of bethesda's previous works. Likely something Zenimax wants to call its own.

Pretty sure Bethesda Softworks can ruin their own game without having to outsource to Zenimax Online to ruin it for them. Just look at Fallout 76.
