Great point brotha I’m with everything you said! Thanks for the shoutout

I run adept rider on my back bar only the weapon for the 1487 armor is really nice. I love it for extra survivability. I usually heal on my back bar. I run 2 sets of 5 piece dmg sets mythic and 1 piece heavy trainee on body. Also I strongly believe on any new character it is also slept on. When you need to grind skill points getting sky shards and dungeons having the constant major gallop and expedition is really nice.

They're working on it

I’d like to keep it short so I’ll make my best effort . I started MMO PVP when hardcore existed. EverQuest, Lineage , Dark Age of Camelot. I’ve played most every type of, genre etc. I like a lot about ESO. PVP is a care bear combat system kind of the bastard child of DAOC if you will. I’m a 90% PvP 10% PvE person. You made a great analogy. One of the biggest problems with ESO is there is no class definition. The only class truly represented by lore in ESO is the Nightblade and even that can be altered. Tanks should be tanks, Buffers and support classes, healers and rogues. As an example rogues in DAOC were agility based. They didn’t suffer fall damage but every other class did. Rogues could climb walls meaning I could climb into a keep and get murdered as fast if climb points were camped. Not every class had self heals. Just potions on a cool down. Healers were healers that’s there job . They had targeted healing in and out of groups but no spammable stackable AOE heals. Sorcs were mages, high dps and un survivable in PVP without a healer. Wardens were hybrid off tanks, healers buff/ debuffs. Basically 4 classes with designated roles. Four class armor sets with only 3 stats. The devs continue to try and provide a happy medium between PVE and PVP and it’s simply not possible. So they create crutch gear sets that only add to the silly combat mechanics. Imagine a game with no self heals outside of potions. You couldn’t hire enough healers in PVP lol. This is a good game with potential. Way too many worthless gear sets for the servers to track but they keep making more. Why? Right now I’m bored for that very reason. This game is OLD and dated in every way. Is it revivable? No.

I love your content... I cannot figure out why you don't get more views. Your light hearted approach and presentation is refreshing and entertaining at the same time. Just keep having fun making your brand of content I will always be ready to view anything you make, I know it will put a smile on my face. Keep it up.

Great insight on the current state of the game. We will see what happens within this upcoming year.

awesome video man, very well said. always love seeing ur vids

If they add prestige systems to gear and unlock them based on cp markers it will eliminate the need for farming gear. Also instead of nerfing sets to oblivion add more morphing options for skills (weapon type specific morphs for class skills.) give the players that are ok being outclassed a chance to get good (talking about myself first) and figure out a counter to the sets paired in pvp or better address challenges mechanics present in pve so all dps don’t have to run the same set ups for dungeons and trials.

i would LOVE to see only the weapon skills receive a third morph choice to make them as impactful as some class skills. Like what is the point of getting to level 4 of Dizzying swing?

I like watching the old ads for eso where they actually showcased pvp as the primary focus of the game. They should give guilds a way to modify keeps and other objectives in different but limiting ways. Nothing crazy op but something else to do out there. Told you I'd finish watching it 😊

As a new player to this game the gear grind and crafting grind are what make turn it off but the people and combat have me coming back it’s a frustrating dichotomy

I’m just glad to see u on a plar ;)

Started playing the game when I was 15 as well. It’s pretty cool.

as veteran (playing since 2016) I agree with everything u said. I have 2 accounts also on PC (1900 and 1378 CP ) The accessibility ruined it for example the alliances that anyone can be anything so it doesnt matter which one are you (crownstore any race any alliance ) reward system sucks and also all cool stuff are in crownstore. but long term short im not gonna mention everything cuz you cover everything and just perfectly said. This is the best eso guide video on youtube Gz man.

Played ESO on a regular basis since launch and kept my ESO+ to support the product. Stopped somewhere around 2020 - 2021. If I have to mention the reasons I left, i'd say: 1) PVP lag was ridiculous to the point where Cyrodiil was unplayable; 2) PVP was left out from the development of new content. 3) Constant changes in mechanics were annoying and I just got tired of completely changing my builds every couple of months. 4) The tons of PVE upgrades offered no progression in difficulty in the main areas so it was basically a 10 hour walk-trough; 5) The solo content wasn't very well developed apart from Maelstorm Arena and Vateshran Hollows. By what you're saying, I figured the situation has not changed a lot. :/

My main gripe about this game is the assassin tank meta. Why people are able to sustain damage from a dozen people forever while still killing their attackers. That is the biggest problem with the game. So your choice is be boring and build a tank to fight other tanks for 20 min duels or be glass cannon and get stomped by the tanks.

I call them the Omni Man builds. Sometimes they make stuff so broken I won't even touch it because I know it should get nerfed although sometimes it doesn't.

Pain.

Had a ton of good points

Really good points. I definitely agree with how overwhelming it can be for newer players. I’ve played on Xbox for a few months before wardens came out and even back then I had no idea where to start in terms of sets because of the sheer amount of them. Fast forward to the end of 2023 and I’d say the number of sets have nearly doubled (maybe? Don’t have time for maths!) My point being there is so much useless stuff in this game that the developers need to sit back and think how they can make that stuff relevant. Trying to rebalance all those sets would be insane, but constantly adding new sets with each zone seems equally insane. Maybe remove some so there’s only 1 crafted set per dlc zone? Do we really need Hundings Rage and Law of Julianos? Make that 3 piece stam and mag and ditch one of them.

I’m a longtime player as well and I agree with all your points. I don’t pvp much, instead I like to do things solo that should be group content. I only play my *ahem* khajiit stamblade and that can be a challenge in and of itself. Good gods. Standing at the banker and being surrounded by flappy twilights is unnerving. Yeah. I also had big expectations for EA and it just fell flat. Face roll for an hour to get one shot by a boss mechanic you may not see again for a week is not my idea of fun. I collected everything except the big stuff in less than a week. Other than the mount I’m not really interested in anything. And only the mount because I collect them. I rarely ride them. My Guar has been my main mount forever. In questing; I forget what was going on most of the time. Sure they remind you but even that is not really enough. A journal/diary would help that gets populated as you progress with everything you’ve done to that point. And give a reward other than decon gear and chump change. Also we need better gold sinks. I have over 100M gold and growing. Housing is meh for me. Most of my houses look like I’m getting ready for a yard sale. If there was a true mechanic to trade gold for crowns I’d be farming gold I’m sure. But the hassle of finding a seller and running the risk of being scammed. Easier to just buy crowns from ZOS. Oh and I don’t sub. Most of the time I log in to do the crafting writs and amass more gold for some odd reason. The only time I play more than an hour is during free ESO+ and grind out my surveys. So I 100% agree. It a mile wide and an inch deep.

The indirect confirmation of your point about its huge potential is that they have managed to almost seamlessly squeeze the whole new class into the game. And overall, this is very deep video and a very good expression of your attitude 👏 I repeat, you should consider becoming a lector and arranging your own TEDtalks 😊

The full quote: "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

I think ESO has fallen into a nasty cycle after so many long term players left after patch Voldemort. Basically, ZOS is focussing on attracting new players to make up for the loss of long termers but this means that there is less and less reason to keep playing the game. So as more long term players leave, ZOS has to lean harder and harder into grabbing the newer players. So you have a sitation with dumbed down classes and overpowered items to make up for the declining skill levels of the players. This allows newer players to get to endgame more quickly and move onto the next game more quickly. This forces ZOS to push monetisation harder because they have less time with each of their customers before they leave. Meanwhile, longer term players like me are playing other games and waiting until ZOS get around to fixing balance in our favourite classes. All they have to do is fix the damage they did in last year's patch and we will come back!

Best mmo, so much potential, but ultimately ran by bad management and probably poorly funded despite being a cash cow. I love this game, have played since launch and i regularly take breaks, however, this is my longest yet. I haven't played longer than a week since U34/U35. 1. They develop too slow. Classes take years to get obvious changes they need, pvp has had no new content for 5 years, etc. 2. They spent too many years (mainly covid) on systems with little depth that just pad time or appeal to new players... Aka 2020 scrying, 2021 companions, and 2022 cards. 2023 they finally did something inpactful by making a new class which is awesome, but that does mean our main characters have used the same skills since pre 2019. Nothing has expanded them. 3. They desperately need to update existing systems. Beter reward structure, more combat skills from new guilds, weapons or spellcrafting. More depth to cp system, many nodes are just % stat bumps instead of doing interesting things. Overland/questing difficulty options, aka a debuff you could get in town for -50% damage done, +100% damage received, but +20% gold/xp/mats. Something like that to push players to improve themselves instead of trivial story content. It's such a shame that Ive missed out on 7 years of their hardwork because the stories are surrounded by combat that is too easy. I'm exactly like you, i want so bad to enjoy all the content they put out, but ultimately the only thing i care about is the combat and customizing my characters because there is little depth in the things i normally enjoy from other games in this game.

To be fair.. things take some time. I think they're finally aware of these problems based on their decision to stop developing q3 dungeons and q4s zone was Endless Archive instead. They expressed that they think there is more than enough story, zones, and dungeons so they can afford to spend more time fleshing out existing systems and I'm ALL for it. I think the fact that they did a class in 2023, a bug fix patch, and EA is a huge step in the right direction. Next step to win back players for 2024s 10th aniversary has to be: 1. Spellcrafting or new weapons focused chapter mechanic. 2. Develop at least 1 new BG map every 6 months for free base game. 3. Develop content for Cyro again. 4. Revamp IC. 5. Overland optional difficulty slider or debuff. 6. Rewards improved for PVP boxes and quests, start including transmutes and endeavors, 2 in game perfect currencies everyone cares about because it enables build theory crafting AND free cosmetics. 7. Improve mount training, something you can actually grind for instead of having to login 180 times for every single character. 8. Improve inventort management. Reduce mat variety from lv 1-50 and CP 1-160. There is no reason to have 8 different metals or 8 different woods, just make everything use CP 160 mats, then adjust the cost to craft items. This is a huge confusing pain point for new players. Craft bag is still ideal enforcing the purchase of ESO + like they want, but now you don't have to scroll through 100 different items you don't care for. Same for style materials no one uses anymore because of outfits, costumes and polymorphs. Useless.

I’m hoping 2024 will have something exciting as well. But so far all I’ve seen is a homogenization of classes, a reduction in player skill and regurgitation of styles. All we need is an auto attack button. I feel like one day they will make a station that lets you swap class and that will be the day I quit ESO. Still I hold hope that even one point on your list is implemented.

i feel the passion with this comment.

EA kinda gets super boring after 2nd or 3rd try and you are basically hoping to get favorable buffs to push it further. I'm not much of a PVPer but as for PVE, it really lacks diversity in builds and playstyles. The gap between meta and none-meta is huge and kinda makes everyone do the same thing (probably less of an issue for PVP). I keep seeing new players going Arcanist, building around deadly strike and proceed to deal so much damage with little effort.

Good points. And you’re still young. The realization that you’ll be let down most of your life will come with time.

I have to remind myself this every year because I still cling on to hope they will be as ambitious as they were in the beginning when they had plans to release spell crafting and the justice system was based on hunting down players with bounties. 2 incredibly thoughtful ideas that would have made ESO stand out as an MMO, but they ended up just doing what every other MMO does for the past 10 years.. New class, new redundant story, new zone with reskinned mobs, new casual focussed mechanics. That said, I'll continue to cope. #Spellcrafting10thAniversary

It's been a crown store cashcow disguising as a game for a while relying on trapping new players more than keeping old ones.

Literally my Only problem is the pvp meta and the fact they don’t give af about the community. They make new crown crates weekly but can’t make a single pvp balance that doesn’t break the game in what 3 years? 4 years? The game is dogwater if you play pvp and sadly that’s all I have played for 8 years
