I left this game before craglorn came, I left because of the AoE caps bullshit, I have 1.3k hours on GW2 and I can't play another zerg fest AoE spam, did they change or fix something about that or even actually said WHY they had AoE caps? Hows the rest of pvp? It was pretty shitty and unbalanced when I left.
Did they fix the horrible optimization issues? Like stuck forever on loading screen, walls not loading properly, game lagging a lot after some time inside cyrodiil? Did they change that fucking cowards skill bolt escape that made sorcs impossible to catch up unless specifically built for speed?
Did they fix the guilds and trading? That shit was horribly clunky. What about culling? Still pretty much a solo game on PVE? Anything else new on pve besides craglorn? I enjoyed the class roles but tanking was pretty much useless and people could go withouth it and clear it faster by going mad dps and aoe

Nothing changed.
Wait until Update 6 somewhere in February / March. Things will be very different, don't know for the better or worse, but at least it's a change lol...

Now playing GW2, AOW 3, ESO, LOTR, Elite D
Played Prereleas was great game was in 30 day vet 12 with all lore explored there were bugs and some flows ....... than I thought I'm done with game and sold account for 200$ on player auction . yesterday it bought again well all great 0 bugs new guld trade system realy like it . many quest were improved fixed . Some public dungeons as well were improved now are bigger . going to get to 50 and will resubscribe when vet lvl will be removed . Almost lost connection to world first time so not going through vet levels again )))... dye system is very cool . IDk about PvP yet . Also new ligthing revamp is great .
In future I want to see Spell craft Morrowind New class or Brotherhood and so on .
Also I dream to see Neverwinter Quest creation tool in ESo it would be amazing crap .
They added a Dye system and there are less game breaking bugs. Other than that its the same game it was before with a great experience 1-50 and then nothing of value after. I knew this going in when I decided to come back but wasted $15 to see for myself anyway.
I like the Elder Scrolls world but this game seems to be missing something that makes it feel less like an Elder Scrolls game. I will probably test the game again in the summer but for now I would guess that since the console launch seems to be a long ways off even the Developers feel its far from ready as well.
Fans of the game are always claiming this game will be awesome in the "Next" patch but I think when it releases for consoles that will be a good time to come back as it should have all it should have had at launch.
Playing- Guild Wars 2, SWTOR

Yeah man there were a lot of bugs at launch. Not any more. There never was culling. There was lag in Cyrodiil because 1000 people there were too many. They lowered the cap to about 750. ESO has always had awesome fps optimization except for 2 weeks during 1.2. 60 fps on good comps. Guild traders all over., booming economy. Stamina builds are good now. Bolt escape was nerfed months ago. New trails scaling dungeons ect.
Yeah you must have left the first month
^^^^^This.
I think this sums it up perfectly, the game has arived where it should have been at release.... Its a very fun place, both in PvE as in PvP.
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
Theres many things that could have changed and be way easier to ask someone what that meant instead of reading long patch notes, sometimes they would have en effect only people playing would notice, also, things like general state of the game can't be understood solely from patch notes.
WHAT? Pretty sure that was never the case unless you are talking about low level dungeons.
