Hope ESO thrives for years to come even though I don't play it anymore :D it's definitely one of my favorite mmos that I have played.

@@kingutterly9806 I think the main issues vets have with ESO is combat, poorly fleshed out endgame systems, and PvP. Much of the end game content is unapproachable and very sporatic. (There was an update a few months ago that made content across the board harder and nerfed most classes that made a lot of people quit) A lot of the tie ins feel forced and like they are only putting out updates to continue milking the people heavily invested. The way the monetization worked was fine when they did big content drops but now they do expansions as well as very expensive chapters with very little content. Combat is both very dated and very unintuitive. It's some of the worst mmo combat you'll come across with a large player base. Arcanist is the first class with a proper combo system lol Personally I think everything in Necrom is a step in the right direction but the community was pretty doomer over the past few months. High Isle for many was the worst expansion the game has ever seen as well as the most wasted. Personally I'm still really enjoying the game but I can understand why a lot of high end raiders and PvPers have quit. The game would be 1000x times better if they focused on combat updates for the next year.

@sleepykhajiit1875

​@@TNTspaz how is Necrom a step in the right direction? Same exact content structure as always, no base improvements to the game, no new mechanics or weapons, no overhauls and a new class that is literally the biggest trashfire the game has ever seen, with it lacking a decent DoT and a decent instant damage cast. It's objectively useless in PvP and the weakest class in the game. Also, one of the reasons I hated High Isle (and hate the writing/Dev team in general) is they literally stated they wanted a holiday and basically used their job to make one, and it really, really shows. The Devs and writers are all insanely well off and out of touch people who write and develop shit for their own amusement and circle-jerk each other, without any consideration for quality, the lore, the fans or the needs of the game. With Necrom, they hyped everyone to no end about morrowind, but they actually just wanted to use that as an excuse to do Hermeus Mora stuff, so Apocrypha is 3x bigger than Necrom and that's where all the content is. ESO is honestly like an abusive relationship, ever since I broke off from it all the problems seem so much more clear and I feel genuinely gross even thinking about it and how much they're exploiting us. I hope you have the same realization soon, the game deserves to die.

Honestly, the balance patching has consistently been the most horrendous aspect that has burned me out every time I try to get back into the game. It is entirely unfun to have all of your work and effort potentially made obsolete within a few months and you gotta go back and start from scratch, get all the gear you need, all the food and buffs, or even if your entire class becomes unviable, starting up a new character with a more viable class and having to unlock all of your bag space, all of your mount upgrades, skyshards, quest progress, all over again.

If you have played before NO if you haven't YES. Just realize the zones are the same activities over and over with different settings. Also the game is designed to keep you playing to purchase things from the crown store. Leveling in this game TAKES A WHILE! No im not talking about 1-50 im talking about CP, Crafting, Horse training, and other things that are necessary. PVP has lagged for years and not been updated for years. It is fun to create builds, housing and chase things. BUT this game will leave you feeling unaccomplished if you are looking for something rewarding in a short time.

First time player here and same. Never was into MMOs so it’s a stimulating experience although there were certain things I had to get used to and push through to enjoy the game to the fullest, having been an elder scrolls fan since 2011 I can say that wasn’t so hard though. Came for the world exploration and lore, stayed for the actually funny and interesting / different quests. Was very pleasantly surprised to see the scale of the game as well as how unique and different all the quests feel.

after playing ESO for many years on and off, chasing achievents, focus on goldmaking for a while, minmaxing builds to see them destroyed... and after a long break and returning again, I now play completely different. I don't mind the content being so easy, actualy I appreate it. I realised what I missed most was simply soaking in the athmosphere, immersing myself in the world. So I had this idea for a more immersive playstyle, mae a character and give it a proper background and reason to do things. No I am not a roleplayer but I take a much more casual approach now, I don't care for minmaxing, I don't chase content, I don't chase gold or achievements, I simply enjoy the dialogues, the storylines, I take my time, II stop and smell the roses. And this is how I enjoy the game again. My new characrter is a female Dunmer Nghtblade, Dark Brotherhood inspired and themed, opportunistic, pragamatic, and whatever she does in the world she does it for a good reason.... I love playing like this, others need not approve. Needless to say I completely ignore lootboxes and cashshop nonsense (I still have more gold than I ever need and I stil enjoy having my old maxed out crafter). So, is it worth playing? For me it is, for now... 🙂

It's basically like DAoCs system, but without being able to search for what trader has what items in game like DAoC allowed.

Getting back into ESO casually. I probably won’t play much endgame but I’m trying to get used to MMORPGs again I need a good community

Regardless of any negatives, ESO is the most immersive MMO on the market. Ive played WoW, BDO, GW2 all for very long periods of time, and always come back to ESO. Theres something about the style of the world, the combat, character progression, diverse build options, quests that arent just "fetch quests", the PVP is great, the graphics are stunning, and its an MMO where you can jump right back in after years, and all your progress is still 100% viable. For anyone to play other MMOs and dislike ESO, must have abused the game for a very long period of time. I hope they continue to build on ESO and make it better for many years to come!

ESO is the game on my PS5 that i play when im staring at my library and dont feel like anything. Late night before bed il just boot it up and do some quests and level something up. Its perfect for that since its got endless content. Ive scratched maybe 5% of the single player stuff. With HDR and the ps5 update its so pretty to look at

that's just sad, what a waste of potential for the game

Only reason I quit playing ESO is because of lack of crossplay

I have break now - but I spent over 1000 hours in game. I will come back but for PvP I preffer Conquerors Blade. For overland quests (I did all) - this is the best game I ever seen...

I do love how games like ESO and FF14 started off in an absolutely dire way to the point that people wouldn't be shocked if it became abandonware yet some legit passionate Devs manage to bring it all back. Love it. Just wanted to point something out but subbing does give you pay to win benefits. Being able to use real cash for an in-game advantage does constitute as pay to win although it's not egregious in containing direct power, more so XP buffs, crafting bonuses etc

I do remember enjoying the game a lot when I played a few years back. But Wednesday started adding crates and locking away of really cool cosmetics behind a pay wall of random chance. Even when you own the game it nickle and dimes you for everything. You never feel like you are playing the "full" game.

I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to try it out, mainly because the biggest issues in the game will not apply to new players. I’m well into the CP grind and I am still nowhere near done all of the content. It honestly can be a bit overwhelming how much there is to experience. I hear a lot of people complaining about the overland content being too easy but a lot of bosses still kick my ass every time I try to attempt them solo or even sometimes in groups 😂 The biggest issue in the game IMO is that PvP is almost unplayable if you have bad internet, but i’m not a huge PvP guy anyway. Really good game overall, has some problems of course but so does every good game

My brother and I, we know from SWOTR, can not even stay awake to enjoy the story if the gameplay isn't traditionally challenging. Whereas before this whole 1-50 needs to be easy fad SWTOR class stories were some of the most engaging content we had ever enjoyed. Sadly we've given up on the MMO genre as a whole. If these games ever just give us the option to play how we want then we'll come back. But bosses and dungeons and end game loot are not the main reasons to play MMOs, at least for us. 1-50 content is the most important part.

I wish there was a group of highly influential content creators that would tackle the issue of ball groups in ESO PvP. I know…nobody gives a crap about PvP…but heal stacking and ball group exploits are a real issue. No player or group of players should have the ability to affect the abilities of other players to stay online and play the game. When these ball groups show up the performance tanks and many times my game crashes and I have to fight to get back into the game. If it is prime time…once you manage to log into the game after the crash you now have a queue to get back into your home campaign. In most cases it take queuing several times to get back in and by then the ball group has ravaged your keep and moved onto another. And even worse…these ball groups primarily exist to farm AP. They will often times move into a keep and leave the doors open so that they can mow down any players trying to defend the keep. These ball groups purposefully leave a few players alive so they may resurrect the others just in time for the ball group to mow them down again. This is abuse. Their intention is not completing objectives but to boost SP and score for their alliance…and even worst…they exploit because they can. These guys use existing game mechanics in ways they were never intended to be used. Unfortunately without continued and regular outrage and attention to the issue from content creators willing to dedicate time to fixing the problem…ZOS will continue ignoring the issue. No player or group of players should have the ability to affect another player’s ability to stay logged into and play the game.

It’s because the enemies match your level which allows you to be able to travel anywhere unlike some other mmos where some other places, the enemies can be at higher levels so you have to grind more until you reach their level.

I genuinely don't get the gripes about performance. I've been playing ESO for years on PS5 and PC, and (aside from Cyro) it runs head and shoulders better than Black Desert, DCUO and STO on PS4/5 as well as New World, SWTOR, and Guild Wars 2 on PC. Can't say about other games, but of the other MMOs I play semi-regularly ESO is the most performant. Sure it's rough on a PS4 or a dogshit PC, but that's true of most games. It runs at a smooth 60 fps 95% of the time and there's little to no input lag (again outside Cyro) on PS5 and with a decent PC. I'm genuinely at a loss as to where people are getting this impression from in 2023.

Well i will give it a try since it's free on epic right now.

Is there anything comparable to cyrodiil though? To me it always stood out as so unique taking a character and being part of a huge army taking and defending castles… siege equipment, strategy, etc… Like I’ve not seen anything like it, is there anything that does it better currently?

I spent like 50 bucks on crown crates and didnt get anything good.

It just sucks to play solo. I mean that’s the case for most mmos but I like games that make it easier to do things solo if you don’t have friends who play. If you want the best gear in the game you need to grind vet trials. Finding a group who’s willing to let you grind vet trials with them even though you don’t have trials gear is hard.

I would say that FF14 has a much better housing system than ESO, but that ESO's most expensive houses are some of the best designs of player housing but those require a lot of premium currency to actually get them.

I play since beta and i have to say this: If you want to start playing ESO for PVP , DONT. Performacne in cyrodiil is horrible. If you do not care about PVP, PLAY for sure, PVP is about 5% of the whole game, everything else is PVE related which isnt affected by PVP performance in anyway.

They need to remove inventory as an ESO+ thing

I've played off and on sense release. Dungeon group finder is broken and has been for over a year now. If you like solo pve questing then yes it's for you. Otherwise wait for them to fix group finder. If they ever do. Also there are tons of cosmetics and housing items. But many of them are locked behind a loot crate system, and pay wall.

Haven't played in the last year, but I got into ESO during early lockdown. so 2020. Grinded hardcore, saw a lot of content and then went back to WoW. I came back to ESO a couple of times but in the end I realized that I was done with it. I can definitely recommend it for questing, leveling and doing dungeons. You can grab the game cheap at one of their sales. You have to know that if you play longer than 2 weeks you will probably need a subscription. If you reach maxlevel you DEFINITELY need that subscription. The game is unplayable if you don't have it. ESO is not upfront with you about this, but the game is structured in many ways to inconvenience you. Because it wants you to buy things. And this is why I do not recommend doing any late game stuff in this game. The raiding, the grinding the gear, learning the solo content. Just not worth it. The game punishes you for time invested and forces you to invest even more time. Or money. I found a lot of the quests really enjoyable. The first character was a great experience to level. But the endgame is just not that great. There are so many layers of things you have to learn and get into and at the end of the day it all takes endless amounts of time or you can pay for it. WoW at least was honest about the subscription. Why don't I come back to this game? Because I played all of the story, and I would have to buy the addon to get like 8 quests. I would need the subscription to have inventory space or not loot anything at all while I play. So that's an investment that I have to do before even taking one step in this game. I have two fully equipped characters and getting them better gear would cost a lot of gold, which means swiping or doing writs (boring dailies that you do on all of your characters every day to get money) or doing some other grind. I never really learned the weaving thing which you need to do good dps for the real endcontent. Don't want to learn it as well for the little endcontent there really is. I don't want to play the same 20 dungeons that I already played 3 years ago (that is with subscription, without its just 10-ish). Every class is 50% the same spells. They all use that ball spell, they all have the backbar buff mechanic. If you dont know, like every 10 seconds you have to switch weapons to get access to another 5 spells and use all of them to buff you then you switch back to your other weapon and use 5 spells until your buffs run out. If you are questing you don't have to do that. But in endgame you have to. And that is super super boring and inconvenient. Especially since EVERY class has to do it. There are builds that use 1 bar, but you have to farm gear for that and it does not compete. The minmaxing in endgame is horrible. The overworld content gets boring, the dungeons get boring, the auction house is inconvenient and inaccessible for new players. The whole game is just a decent solo experience. And a couple of 5 mans are fun. If you are rich irl and care about housing then that's fun too.

Thanks for reminding me of all the shit i hated about eso. Ive been missing it but cant switch accounts to pc. Zos will never change 😂😢 thanks dotz for all the eso videos u provided over the yeara!

20:50 I cant even remember anymore just how many freakin times I wrote this exact complaint on the forums lol. It is so ridiculous, a big almost demigod like villain is terrorizing the whole country for months/year and then you came and one shot him .... This was exactly why I stopped playing and cant get back to the game anymore.

If it was off line too. Sure. One thing i used to hated about the division was that it used to be an online only game. Then they changed that. Still a banger. I got an eso bundle around christmas but i stopped getting xbl. So now i cant play it.

My biggest issue with ESO is how EASY the world content is. The game is usually praised by its open-world quality in general such as in questing, exploring, and even the graphics and immersion. But I cannot possibly bear how there is little to no challenge in everything we do. Then, what is supposed to be a game becomes something like a visual novel. And to play the "real game" i.e. the hard combat, you have to sacrifice everything you like about the game and add a toxic hardcore community on top of that. So sad. Even though I like the exploration and housing systems A LOT, I just can't for gods sake bear its combat. Not for how it is, but simply, again, for how easy it is to do everything.

Everything about this game is perfect...except the combat and level scaling. But these two aspects are bad enough that a lot of people quit and it keeps the game from having the kind of population numbers that it could.

Two things I want to know. 1. Is the grind fun or a bore. (Main and endgame) 2. Is eso+ "mandatory"

1. "fun" is in the eye of the beholder. Hard to answer this question. I enjoyed it while i was playing the game. ESO being a horizontal progression game means that once you have your characters setup the "grind" it pretty minimal, unless they nuke your gear with a nerf going into a patch. 2. Imo, yes. Inventory management without it is a massive headache.

Does it need ps plus subscription to play ?

In my opinion they should add that you can change your class just like ff14

The difficulty is a big problem in the game. I always choose a Nord to play in every single Elder Scrolls game. Therefore, I start with in the Ebenheart pact. The first main question has you do a string of quests in order to contain one of the brothers of Strife. For those who don't know, the brothers or strife are like nuclear bombs they're doomsday creatures. After hours and hours of questing, you finally come to the big christiando to take down one of the brothers and strife, which is supposed to be this world ending entity. And you slap him a couple of times, and he dies. It is immersion breaking and unsatisfying. I do not understand why Zenimax can not improve the damage that the enemies can do to your character or just have difficulty setting that each player can choose what difficulty they want to play at prior to playing the game. It has been done in many other online games.

It´s an MMO. How do you expect there to have a difficulty setting? Just how? It does not make sense at all and it would especially not work out with any other group content you´re playing such as Dungeons or PVP or literally just questing together. I´ve been playing MMO´s for 15 years now, from World of Warcraft to ESO and there hasn´t been one where there has been a difficulty setting to choose. People like you try MMO´s and barely scratch the surface and then start complaning because they think that things work out as they do in the Witcher 3 or Skyrim.

@@Joseph-wh5of Lord of the Rings online can´t really be compared to WoW and other top tier MMO´s. It´s more of a solo-story-walking through type of game that requires almost non player interaction. In regards to WoW Hardcore servers: The only difference from "normal" servers to hardcore servers is - when you die - you die permanently. The character is gone forever. The difficulty "level" of the game itself is the same on normal servers and hardcore servers. It´s just that MMO´s get more complex and tricky the more you progress in the game. Endgame Dungeons and Raids are where the real difficulty starts. You just have to grind your way through the MMO to get to this point wich you didn´t do.

@JohnnyWalker1077 Lord of the rings online proves you can have difficulty options, even if it is more story oriented just like the elder scrolls online. it can still be applied to any game. However, if that's too complicated, the reason I mentioned world if warcraft hardcore server is because you could make a separate server where you could make the difficulty harder by bringing up the damage output on all enemies. It's doable and possible, companies just choose not to do it.

modern mmo are piss easy until Endgame Lotro fix this with Landscape difficulty setting, wish other mmos adopt it

I haven't properly played since maybe 2019, great game though

As someone who spent hundreds of hours collecting mounts on WoW, it's one of the aspects that ESO lacks the most. Want that cool mount over there? Well, sign up for a gacha game... it's really disappointing because i love the questing and exploration in ESO but it's not very rewarding at all in terms of collectables and cosmetics unless you're swiping. It's a stick without a carrot.

Level scalling is trash, biggest problem with game i have is o dont feel progress in power, in teso where i go just doesnt matter, i got higher level i dont feel this enemies always the same.

Been trying to find a replacement game for New World. Sounds like this game has the same issues. PVP is a performance nightmare leading to a great game feeling unplayable. Think ill still give this one a try but with a reality that it probably wont scratch that pvp itch

For me to play an MMO the 1-50 content must have good story and challenging, traditional gameplay. Don't care about instanced dungeons and special bosses and all that other junk. Old SWTOR had the perfect balance. Then they made the 1-50 braindead easy to the point where we were falling asleep trying to finish the class stories. Not going to give ESO money until they give us the option to play the 1-50 at a level of difficulty we can enjoy.

Yes you should. Its got everything, great pve, great questing, good grinds but not over grindy, great pvp, loads to do, hours of fun. Yes it has its problems but most mmorpgs do. I've played on and off since launch and loving it right now. Completely disagree with your pvp view. Yeah you get lag sometimes but it really isn't as often as you are making out. I play pvp every day and enjoy it, sometimes the lag is bad and unplayable but it's not often compared to how much enjoyment it gives me.
