You DO realize that you are posting the same threads we've had to read since the game came out, don't you?
Nah,the game was playable a Ross the board mostly up until before midyear mayhem. Sometime during that the performance fell through the floor. The mission objective of build diversity was thrown out the window with the vampire changes, punishing ranged characters, and new problems were created with no reason with the weaving paradigm shift.
While it is possible to adapt, why should people have to adapt and spend millions every six months ? It's frustrating. I used to play with 11 toons, then after elsweyr I dropped that to 3, and after ( if the vampire changes stay as is atm ) the Greymoor changes I will be forced to drop to one character because there will be 0 diversity in my toons. The whole reason I had 3 was to have my vampire mage, vampire rogue and vampire warrior. With these changes instead of all of them playing differently, all of them will generally PLAy the same, which is boring and flies in the face of the stated " play how you want/ build diversity" goal.
It is possible to love something and be critical of the direction, and loss of quality the game had taken.0 -

There will be bugs like always -but I don't think they will loose account data - this is their income source and some players return after a long time, if the game is still there then - and ESO doesn't seem to go away anytime soon, despite the problems with cyro - most of the game works quite well.

Mist of the game does not work quite well. Trials are a mess, vet dungeons are partially unplayable, normal dungeons are slowly being infected, and forever loading screens in overland content coupled with abilities refusing to fire had reached overland as well. It's not nearly as bad as cyro, but this is exactly how it started there too..
The servers have reached their maximum capacity and calculation capacity. And the more changes , new sets, new dlc, new quests they introduce, the worse it's going to get. They need to replace the old server tech with new tech that can handle it, otherwise what we see in cyro, will be Overland's fate too eventually.2 -

I don't consider Trials and vet content to be "most of the game" - it is tiny part of the game in certain locations. most of the game is to me overland content, where people quest and explore Tamriel and that works really well currently.
There are problems with the game - certainly - but I doubt that a lot of players really recognize those - beside longer loading screens when zoning in - but otherwise it runs really well for most doing just normal overland stuff - and that is most likely the majority of players.Edited by Lysette on April 1, 2020 1:15PM0 -

It must be nice to be so dismissive. Well, when the issues hit overland in full force, enjoy the " i told you so's". I already notice my abilities not firing in overland, my weaves not working, my streaks mis firing, and random hiccups in connection. This is exactly how it started in cyro.

Heimdarm✭✭✭1. best mmorpg if you just want to play solo and freeroam in open world
2. regular new contents for group plays, only wow updates can be compared to this, but it is tab targetng
3. with all the bugs, and lags for many, but the best open world pvp area in cyrodiil and imperial city among other mmorpgs
and you can do these, everything except the hardest trials, in a *** of variety of builds. in 99% of the content you dont have to follow the meta, you can easily create the perfect combinaton of sets for your preferred playstyle let it be a difficult rotation with many many skills, or just spamming a few and get the same result.
once i had a healer, max mag, and two spell dmg sets so it could heal and do good dmg as well. i used an ice staff so i could be a weaker tank too. its far from optimal for a trial, but i could tank or heal or help in with damage even in very hard vet hm dungeons, which is not really hard, but it was very fun for me. the point is, you can have hundreds if not thousands of combination of sets to find the way you LIKE playing the game and just have fun1 -

They are not in Cyro PvPing. They are not in vTrials pushing leader boards. They are not doing vDungeons, particularly DLC ones.
...
So, anyone not doing those things is "not actually playing the game"? You don't think that's a bit of an overstatement in your behalf?
Having said that, I had considerable problems healing in a vet trial, with abilities not firing and being frozen in place for several seconds at at time, and that was not fun at all. Still, we made it through after a wipe, and we were not aiming for any leaderboards, so it was still a fun overall experience. I also had a good group wiping several times in vICP because nobody in the group could get their presses of the X key to register. With the particular mechanic in there, that bug means certain death. First we gave up on hard mode, then we just gave up on the fight altogether when nobody survived even the first fall.
Yes, the game has problems, and of course I would like to see them solved. However, the game is nowhere near unplayable for me, and I'm doing quite a lot more than picking flowers. (Although, full disclosure, yes, I do that, too.)

ZOS mentioned in their announcements concerning testing the changes to light and heavy attacks that the climb was steep and most didnt enjoy the climb. How much is any new player going to enjoy "the climb" when once they reach the mountain top the game stops working lol.
Well I am going to call you on that bulls***t.
I spent all my time yesterday in a number of vet HM DLC dungeons. They all worked perfectly well. No disconnects, no desyncs nothing like that at all. I played with players from around Europe and Africa.
Today I’ll be back in them and vet trials. Looking forward to it.

It was genuinely non-functional for a while on Monday when the PC EU server crashed and had to be ‘maintained’. But yesterday it was working perfectly in vet DLC dungeon content for the entire evening.
I don’t know about PC NA, it seemed OK when I popped over when PC EU was down...
You might want to redefine your notion of ‘broken’.

I will complain loudly when it will happen - like I did with the stutter issues - which are now fixed. I can just tell how the game feels for me and I do not need sympathy from anyone - I'm a customer and when the product is not to my liking and will not be fixed, I just leave - i don't hang around waiting for something which might never happen.
I have a higher ping though and have to take that into consideration that not all what feels weird is on ZOS's side.

Yes, that is certainly how it is - I think as well that most are quite content with being just mediocre at the game and enjoy playing it like this. Overland content isn't difficult and can well be played with mediocre skills. A lot do not play the way you play it as well - some are playing the markets instead of the game and have fun doing that, some like even fishing and catching all the rare fish in the game and so. There is more than just combat in this game - a lot more. I even saw quite a few just walking around looking for nice motives for photography. ESO is a work of art - I don't take pictures, but I enjoy walking around (as in neither riding nor running) and just take in the scenery.
Lately I roamed around in older regions and recognized how much the art work of the game has improved in new zones compared to some of the older ones. These are things to appreciate as well, not just combat and competitive gameplay - ESO so much more than this.Edited by Lysette on April 1, 2020 2:58PM0 -

TBH, if your not having fun, don't play. That's kind of the point of a game is to have fun, and if its not fun, then its time to move on to something that is.
That said, me and my group have found tons of things to do that we still enjoy - completing storyline quests, grinding for motifs, working on master angler achievement, etc. All not as exciting as sieging castles in Cyrodil or running trials, but we do that to whenever we are able to do so without issues.
This game still offers a ton to do that is fun and relaxing, but if none of that appeals to you, there's nothing wrong with putting the game down and taking a break.0 -
