Why is ESO DEAD? Is it the bugs?!

[𝒞𝒶𝓉𝓎𝒶♡]

I stopped playing ESO year ago, mainly due to really bad performance, endless bugs and abysmal "balance updates" (literally worst balance team in any modern mmo game tbh). Still, at that time it did still have a few endgame groups (playing even in the horrible lag), but now.. when went to check the game out, there is like 3 people in big cities and zone maps are empty, can literally hear the crickets.

So, did everyone leave during the Light Attack change update last summer? Did people finally have enough? Even pvp seems to be more dead than ever? Apparently some poorly designed new class is not even enough to bring any positive hype?

What do you think? What is the problem that is killing ESO for you?

IMHO they should have fixed pvp fast and given new pvp battleground maps and modes and modify Cyrodiil map. Like make updated version of the map and so on. But they been just lazy when some of the last few players accept crown crates seasons as actual "content" meanwhile content is like written by 6yr old. *shrug* Only housing andies who like paying 100eur on some laggy & bugged (cannot even fill houses because console memory limitations KEKW) houses seem to like the game?

Game had potential still during Summerset DLC (remember when game was still more fun?), too bad incompetent and greedy devs took the lazy route with minimum effort.

And yes, their "nerfs and buffs" cycle is just to create illusion that you have "content" to do, because you need to grind new meta set/class/weapons instead of the nerfed ones. Every intelligent player saw that for years. Because those balance decisions made no sense, unless just wanted to shuffle the meta every 3-4 months. It's not even fun for anyone. Unless wanna keep people in threadmill with minimal effort put it by devs.

So.. to other ex-ESO players, what made you leave? What was your last draw?

PS. ALSO block bug for how long KEKW?

IF only ESO had professional and good developers like in FF14 and WoW (i don't play WoW, but at least their game mostly WORKS and is not always a bug ridden mess needing emergency maintenances few times a week lmao). In FF14 you get updates that are quality and not only "We apologize for the inconvenience..." when game is always full bugs that make it first and second month of new patch cycle fully broken like on ESO , often both on pvp and pve.

Endless bugs? big cities and zone maps are empty??? Are you sure you've played The Elder Scrolls Online?

I quit reading on the first sentence. Just because you quit playing, does not mean ESO is dead. There are still tons of people that play.

Some people want to reinforce their decisions by making others take that decision too. So when they quit something they want others to quit it too, so they don't feel like they've made a bad decision.

This is why we get forums full of EX-players all trying to tell everyone else to stop playing. That the game is dead and that they should try something else instead. Try whatever it is they are currently playing.

The thing is though that the game isn't dead. Far from it in fact.

For everyone who thought Update 35 would destroy the game: More people are playing now than were before u35 landed. What's it like to be so wrong?

As i already said. I first started this whole topic as a counter-satire written exactly like how some ESO players go to other mmo games discussions areas telling every other mmo is dead.. :D

So i decided to have a bit of fun and do the same. Oh did it clearly stick some nerves.

No "reinforcement" needed on my decision of quitting, me and my frriends did quit already over a YEAR ago. So we all well over the game. Of course it is sad, because the game could have had potential to be good, if not so bad developers/combat team.

But yes, keep living in your hopium in a game where there literally is like 3 endgame groups left doing same few laggy/buggy trials. :D

Like this started as a satire topic, but i'm not only one who came here to say what they have observed and why ESO has become a tiny game, a front to sell crown crates (lol that crate bundle to get the polymorph deal LMAO??) compared to what it could be if it only been run by professional developers.

I know i know, you have the sunk cost fallacy hitting, most likely a long time player with lots invested in? You have spend many years and a lot of money to ESO, am i right? Of course you will defend it. Even if know the truth in your hearts.

As said, the game has these weird fanatical 100eur/dollar house buyers so obviously it's not gonna "die", but it for sure is damn empty on the game's actual endgame and also on PVP. It's crickets on overland. Compared to some other games that i THOUGHT were smaller than ESO, but to my surprise GW2 was actually way more populated inside the game. And well, FF14 is my current main game. It's known to be huge game, 2nd after good old WoW in active numbers. But this is not the point. I'm not here to ask anyone to come play some Final Fantasy with me.. you can stay here all you want. :) As said, i just did what some people here from ESO forum do, go post on other mmo areas. Maybe because bored in their game where nothing happening? *shrugs*

Enough from me tho, i've said all there is to say. Enjoy your game as much as you can, no bad feelings.

"Don't hate the players, hate the game!" as they say. :)

You can actually read my post history and see if'm a troll. :)

It even has like helpful posts where i answer people's questions about different games or what/where/when to purchase or how to link FF14 account to Steam and so on. I'm actually friendly and helpful.

But.. i'm also a known pvp player hahah, and when i saw some ESO players from this discussion started doing some weird "My mmo is best and every other mmo is dead" forum pvp, of course i did some satire response. Hey, it's only fair that things go both ways, right? :P

And today i also might have a bit of extra time on my hands, kinda waiting for new Stellaris DLC to come out later this evening today. Then i'll post less when i'll play that, so you can sigh from relief. :P

Yes, i've apparently developed also a bit of Stellaris addiction on the side with FF14 addiction. A bit weird combo of games, right?

If I quit a game I wouldn't be in their forums over a year later trying to cause drama.
I'd be playing a game I prefer instead.

[(Clever Name Here)]

Been playing two months and I have not had any issues, bugs, lag....etc. Maybe you all need better PCs or something.

As for PVP. It seems the PVP areas are always full of people. And its all they do. Like they have no lives or something. Hence I haven't gone back to PVP. PVE is much funner. What fun is it to play a game where vets have the same exact builds and you can never win? Psh. If I want that I'll buy a boring average MP game.

Guys, why do you always jump on the bandwagon of these trolls... You behave exactly as he wanted and expected ...

[⭐Rodent⭐]

"Join over 20 million players in the award-winning online multiplayer RPG"

This is a joke in the store page, maybe many ppl bought the game over the decades, but there are about 20k online as much.
boycott fanPaidBois!

[FN]

[Karax]

What's this about light attack change? I haven't played the game for some time.
Is spell weaving still a thing in the game?

game has had the almost same player count for the last 3 years

Yeah well, i just used the same terminology ESO players do use when they post on other games forums/discussions. This is what they do. Not sure because insecure of their "own game and it's health state" so they go on other games telling every other game is dead. I see same nicknames do it often, people who play ESO.

So..? *shrug*

Like on GW2 forums. I guess some ESO players see GW2 as ESO's biggest "rival", since both FF14 and WoW are clearly bigger giants what comes to player numbers.

Funny thing tho, i played just 150 hours of GW2 first time ever just to try it, and even GW2 had MORE people in game anywhere i went, in cities, in pvp (in World vs World pvp), out in middle of nowhere events always people around the clock. Meanwhile at ESO: crickets. I know GW2 has small numbers on Steam, but in game it's like 5x ESO population at minimum 24/7.

Yes, meanwhile this is not scientific evidence, and ESO does have some similar numbers for years (not healthy for a game tho, too many old players leave and only new players get into the grinder mostly), ESO is not good at respecting old players time. Thus many leave when they get fed up with the endless nerf/buff incompetence and similar stories the last years, everyone can guess the "plot twists". Writing is like 6yr old school essay. ChatGPT AI could write better stories.

ESO used to be better and had potential, it had potential up until Elsweyr chapter. After that it started to deteriorate, performance became bad even in overland/trial content and not just in pvp.

But no point really going through all this. I know how it is. Remember, i used to be ESO player also. I was also explaining to others why this or why that.. ESO is like that one drunken uncle who ruins xmas, but everyone tries to explain his bad behavior and pretend everything is fine. "This is fine." The meme with everything burning around you. Pretty much described ESO team handling the game. Always patch days and most decisions they made. Sometimes was even surprised about how they could mess up so much things. Can see it better in hindsight. While i was still playing ESO i also was defending the game since it was all i had lol. How sad was that? :D It was like some weird abusive relationship lol. Where we listened for years for everything to be better soon, but goal posts just always moved and promises were always empty, sadly.

Ok reported you for trolling as you're npt bringing anything constructive to the forums other than trying to start an argument
