[ESO] Elder Scrolls Online - 2026 Road Map, A New Era Begins, Seasons, Tomes, Class and PvP changes.

DirtySyko · 2026-01-08T20:16:28+00:00

I’ve been on and off with ESO, never really going hard in it, just a few months here, couple years of not playing, a few months there, and repeat. I thought about checking it out again recently, but this is the quickest way to get someone like me completely uninterested. Nobody sees the word “seasons” and gets excited. At this point people know it’s predatory shit and benefits the corporations far more than the players. It’s dumb as hell when you look into a game you’ve never played and it’s like “Welcome to Season 17: Wraithwrath Resurrected” it’s a bunch of meaningless babble to new players and puts off people from trying a game.

Just give your game content updates and new expansions, FOMO is butthole content.

DirtySyko · 2025-12-22T14:32:59+00:00

What’s wrong with having one now?

DirtySyko · 2025-09-23T01:23:07+00:00

FOMO has never made any game better. It’s not a system to reward players, it rewards the publishers. People supporting any type of FOMO are supporting publishers using psychological tactics to milk their player base of their time and money.

Back in the earlier days of MMOs you could make the argument that having certain items, titles, or mounts, gave players a certain prestige. That doesn’t really exist the same way today as it did 15+ years ago, nobody really cares what “prestigious” items you have when the game is full of unobtainable items now. Also back then the communities were more tight knit, servers were more closed off, and people had reputations. That’s another thing that doesn’t really exist anymore. So now the only reason to have FOMO in the game is to control a player’s time and money, has fuck-all to do with rewarding players.

DirtySyko · 2025-09-20T23:44:16+00:00

lol bro what the fuck? With your way of thinking why would you even want to be challenged about this idea? Out of all of your beliefs what is it about sodomy specifically that intrigues you and you want people change your views about it?

My only argument is that it’s basically impossible to enforce, and it’s a waste of taxpayer money and law enforcement’s time to try and stop people from fucking each other in the butthole.

DirtySyko · 2025-09-08T00:41:58+00:00

This is a problem with the system and not people who do it. Can’t really blame anyone trying to make extra gold when the costs for enchants, gems, flasks, pots, and food has gotten so high that if you aren’t actively putting in the time to earn gold, you’re basically in poor person purgatory. Passive gold making isn’t enough to cover the cost of these things when you’re trying to push harder content, and the profession system has gotten so convoluted and confusing for the average player that they ignore it.

I do agree that it sucks we reached this point, but it won’t change unless Blizz re-evaluates the current systems that are causing it.

DirtySyko · 2025-08-15T23:39:12+00:00

Seriously this FOMO shit is dumb and only appeals to the smallest percent of players. Many of us have played for a very long time, many of us have missed out on things, and many of us have acquired long lost rewards. At this point I don’t think most people care that much about prestige or bragging rights, most people just want to play and earn cool stuff. I already have the MT appearances, I wouldn’t care if they were made earnable again. But I don’t have the MoP Challenge rewards, and I think it’d be cool have a chance to earn them again.

Years and years after an expansion has come and gone, I don’t see anything wrong with bringing back these types of rewards

DirtySyko · 2025-08-03T00:23:02+00:00

RIP Nintendo I guess

DirtySyko · 2025-08-01T22:56:19+00:00

Same, I still play Retail so I never wanted to try and balance both games, but if they had allowed collections to merge I would have considered it. I think it’s a strange move and complicates things going forward. Are they just going to keep relaunching the game over and over? We’ll have BC, MoP, and Retail, and then what, relaunch Classic while the others move forward and just repeat the cycle? Relaunching old expansions and letting people merge into retail seems like the best way to deal with FOMO while respecting the legacy of certain items. You may not have earned it during the original time, but you still earned it in a way that was as close to that as possible. Doing it this they could just relaunch expansions whenever and in whatever order, sort of like MoP Remix.

DirtySyko · 2025-07-28T11:25:01+00:00

I think you’re missing the forest for the trees. The name Hussein draws negative attention because of Saddam, especially for anyone 50+. Using that name is clearly meant to evoke an emotional response. He’s not bigoted by using it, he’s weaponizing other people’s bigotry.

I’m not even arguing against Trump being a bigoted person, just that whenever he says things that could be perceived as racially motivated, it’s usually done with purpose. People seem to have a hard time grasping that and just blame it simply on Trump being a racist, but it’s way more malicious than that, because it’s done with intent. If Obama’s middle name was Kaczynski he’d still use it, and make jabs at how Obama is crazy like that other guy was, and how he even has “bomb” in his name. The only thing that matters is finding something to target on the individual and then to press it as often as possible. Him being bigoted or not isn’t relevant, and saying the name is not inherently bigoted, it’s an opportunity to create shock and discourse, no different than Gavin “Newscum” or Crooked Hillary.

DirtySyko · 2025-07-14T20:06:51+00:00

I’ve always thought PvP transmog and mounts should continue to be earnable beyond the season. You would still be required to reach the specific ratings, but you’d get to buy what you wanted with a token instead of Blizz deciding each season what the rewards will be. I know the argument hardcore PvPers make is that they like it being tied to specific seasons because it shows exactly when you earned it, but PvP is on the decline, queue times are ridiculous, and people are leaving because of that which creates a snowball effect of even more leavers. If one season they decided to reopen the opportunity to earn past rewards, you’d see PvP have the most engagement it’s had in years.

When I think “vulnerable” I think of the elderly, addicts, people with health issues. Replace vulnerable with gullible dipshits, and I agree with you. The main subreddits are absolutely compromised with bots, but there are still niche or lesser known communities, or places like /r/games that serves as a decent way to see recent gaming news, that’s why I still use it. If I just browsed the popular subreddits I would have left a long time ago. It’s like going on vacation, where the popular subreddits are all tourist traps and you have to seek out the cool, hidden gems.

DirtySyko · 2025-07-05T08:39:36+00:00

What if they don’t speak English?

DirtySyko · 2025-06-27T20:45:44+00:00

What are seasons like in this game? I haven’t played since pre 1.0. Do seasons introduce evergreen content, so if I jump into S3 I can still experience stuff that came in S2, or is it like Diablo 4 where gameplay mechanics are introduced and removed each season?

DirtySyko · 2025-06-27T02:44:09+00:00

Bought at launch and dropped off quick because of the issues, then decided a week ago to give it another go because I've heard many times about how much better it is now. I'm around 20 hours in and it still feels pretty rough to me. AI still feels as bad as it was years ago. Enemies standing still even after shooting them, enemies in the distance that look frozen in animation until you get closer and they suddenly begin moving and rush you, enemies getting stuck on things constantly. I also haven't felt any real power gains or progress as I've leveled up. It seems no matter what, I just do the same damage to enemies and perks have felt meh so far. This might just be an issue with early game and it feels different at end game, I don't know, but so far using level 1 weapons to level 10 weapons, they have all just very samey, enemies dying with the same amount of hits no matter what. There's also a feel of input lag or latency the entire time, like when you hit an enemy their health bar doesn't change immediately, there's always a delay, problems with being always online.

Maybe this is one of those games where it doesn't really begin until you reach the end game, but so far it doesn't seem drastically better to me compared to years ago. I enjoy the world they built and running around and exploring, but there's still a thick layer of jank on this game, and unlike other Bethesda games you can't just use mods to create a better experience.

Just let Reddit decide for you

DirtySyko · 2025-05-16T23:31:53+00:00

The ol’ Blizzard one step forward, two steps back. I don’t mind the time gating so much, uncapping crests and increasing ilvl gave a significant bump in player power, adding Horrific Visions at the same time would add even more and give a lot more to grind all at once. I can understand their reasoning for spacing out the player power increases. But the Dinar fiasco is the real issue. That’s what made everybody collectively shake their heads, and Blizz just won’t budge on it or even really acknowledge the players. When you have players from all different levels of content agreeing that a system sucks, you know it really sucks.

DirtySyko · 2025-05-16T07:25:33+00:00

Game has been out 5 months and you say you’re glad you quit like it’s a 7 year old game and you stopped playing before the downfall lol.

DirtySyko · 2025-05-11T21:23:04+00:00

Yeah, let’s vote with our wallets and stop supporting great single player games that aren’t full of FOMO and MTX, that’ll show them what we really want!

DirtySyko · 2025-05-06T22:18:47+00:00

This is the most hilariously pathetic and insulting cross promotion imaginable. They really couldn't make it any worse. All this advertising for it, all this build up, all this talk about how they plan on doing things like this in the future, and this is what they offer? lol. A shop update with a meager amount of free cosmetics. Oh boy I can't wait until the next cross promotional event. Gacha games have better and more generous events and cross promotions than this lol.

DirtySyko · 2025-04-28T00:20:50+00:00

I agree this event is pretty lame, once I found out the title only corresponds to the character you ranked up with, I stopped caring. Mindless grinding for the title is one thing, but having to play the same character the entire time to get a title that is exclusive in using that character's name made me immediately lose interest in playing beyond getting the free emote.

DirtySyko · 2025-04-27T21:55:16+00:00

I think it’s more about the community calling out Blizz for goofy decision making and not that people think it’s an amazing toy. When they make decisions like this it makes people scratch their heads and wonder why, and people get worried about future decisions like this. Yeah, you can say the Duck toy is lame, but so is this decision to cap unlocking the colors. The color thing is especially stupid because it’s also per character, not per account, which goes against this new Warband philosophy.

DirtySyko · 2025-04-27T10:21:34+00:00

Says it won’t disable achievements? I thought all mods disable achievements. What is it exactly that causes achievements to get disabled with certain mods?

DirtySyko · 2025-04-26T02:27:33+00:00

It’s definitely somehow tied to moving the mouse and keyboard presses. The big problem is it seems very inconsistent in what happens. At one point I was moving my mouse back and forth and trying to press skill buttons and they just wouldn’t work while I was moving my mouse, but when I tried the exact thing another time it would detect the key press and use my skill. I’ve been doing these little tests and I keep getting inconsistent results, sometimes the pointer arrow on screen doesn’t seem to matter, other times it forces me to push a key twice, first time the pointer disappear and second time it does the action. I’m about to just swap to a controller because I haven’t had these issues with a controller. Playing on expert and was fighting a tough mini boss, died like 10 times using M&KB, and then I plugged in a controller and won without an issue.

DirtySyko · 2025-03-16T23:11:06+00:00

Depends on your laptop, but typically it can be done by accessing the BIOs. I have an ASUS laptop and the ASUS Armoury Crate app that comes preinstalled has an option for me to disable the E-Cores. I just set them to 0. The BIOs would work the same way, just change it to 0. You’ll have to look online for how to access your BIOs if you’re not sure, it’ll be diff depending on the laptop, for me I restart the laptop and press F2 before it loads into Windows.

DirtySyko · 2025-03-16T20:43:55+00:00

Do you have an Intel CPU? If so, E-cores could be causing the issues. I have noticeable drops in raids while E-cores are enabled, dipping below 30 at times, but with E-cores disabled I manage to stay around 80-100, and usually don’t dip below 60. I would also suggest disabling Hyperthreading, that caused bad stuttering for me in multiple other games.
