How do you currently feel about ESO (May 2014 Edition)

killion81

Yes, it's not quite May yet, but we're almost there.  So, ESO has been out for a while now.  Lots of people have played their included month and tons of posts about the game have appeared on forums throughout the internet.  How do you feel about ESO right now?

 

Edit: The poll in the OP here is screwed up (hit enter at the wrong time) and I can't fix it.  Sorry.

Ugh, I broke the poll.  Hit enter at the wrong time.

also add the 3 months mark, many players understand the issues of a new mmo and content. But if it is not added / issues addressed within 3 months most ppl will leave. Only those that don't give a F about the social aspect of a game and the MMO to succeed, those Offline RPGS players will stay ofc.

Example: 

Every time some one posts at the official forum a post about the bad grouping system / phasing / not getting quests done in the group with friends or no nameplates in the game ( such basic social features that are needed in MMO'S ).

There players that actually believe that this is not an issue at all. Then tell me if those are real MMORPG players or those TES offline RPG players or in general just RPG players that are not used to play an MMORPG. That is just sad and so blind of those people. because all want the game to succeed and there u have those blindfolded players with the pink glasses on.

I can deal with bugs. All of the bugs I encountered were fixed by either /reloadui or just relog.  That been said, I won't deal with vet ranks. So, I am done playing this game. I had fun running dungeons with my resto templar. But going to the other factions for the VRs ain't gonna happen. Zenimax doesn't have a clue about what re-playability is about. Maybe in about 3 or 6 months?

I love the game, but right nw I'm pissed off. 

 

Going Vamp literally broke ny character. I'm not one of the "lucky" one with the bat swarm bug. I'm like most of them, every time I die I lose all passives and retain all debuffs. Debuffs like -75% health regen and +50% fire dmg... 

 

It's game breaking.

Based on preliminary returns... You may have the most accurate and telling poll I have seen in a long time.  It would appear that a third of the people voting in your poll about ESO do not play ESO but come to the forums to vote down the game.  I think that would accurately reflect the percentages of people posting as well.

Loving the games leveling experience, AvA is fun, the bugs I have run into were few and easily fixed with a relog.

 

Overall it's been a smooth launch for me and I'm greatly enjoying my time. The questing is refreshing rather than moving hub to hub to collect 10 bear butts. I really look forward to seeing the end game PvE as well once Craglorn goes live.

 

I have a feeling ESO will keep me entertained for several years as DAoC and EQ did and still do.

I played it for about a week, and then got a refund.  At the time, it was mainly because I wanted to wait until it came out on PS4 (it feels like it would play really well on a console).  Interestingly enough, I haven't missed or longed for the game at all since stopping.  My time away has let me reflect on the game a bit, and now I'm not sure I'll even buy it on the PS4.

My issues aren't what everyone else's are, such as bots or whatever (since I'm not dealing with them).  Mine are two-fold.  First, I realized that I actually kind of miss the standard tab-targeting class/role MMO.  I love Elder Scrolls, and I love the freedom that world always has, but I can already experience that world and its lore in other games.  I just don't feel like taking Elder Scrolls design ideas to the MMO space really offers anything new for me.

Secondly, I'm just not that interested in RvR style PvP.  Every game that has it, just ends up being a zergfest.  I'm also not interested in a game that makes the mistakes WAR made, by having a level cap, and then ALSO having additional PvP levels after that.  It makes the level cap pointless, and I wonder why even bother with levels in the first place?  Two tiers of levels makes no sense, when they are both required for effective PvP.

Anyway, there are a lot of good games coming out in the next six to eight months.  Things like the new Metal Gear, and Watchdogs.  I may give ESO another try later on, but for me the overall design just isn't what I'm looking for.
