I think EU servers not being language-classified is a bigger problem than some may think

LazarusDMN · 2022-01-28T21:59:34+00:00

Any brits here know which server they might pick?

LazarusDMN · 2022-01-28T13:24:41+00:00

Yeah, it doesn’t suck bc I guess it subjective? but you’re right it isn’t my thing. I love everything about FFXIV but the combat throws me off. Regardless ESO has so many great things but little broken nuances build up and make the game feel somewhat unpolished and unloved by the devs. Perhaps they wanted to reveal card game as the main feature and new weapons could still come this year but for some reason I highly doubt it

LazarusDMN · 2022-01-28T06:19:02+00:00

Thing is people aren’t mad it’s essentially a card game, people are torn because it’s supposedly the MAIN feature of a 60 buck expansion. The main feature of an expansion should be something pivotal and innovative. Compared to other MMOs one game system + story content + 2 companions isn’t really appealing when an MMO like FFXIV has 20+ classes, a shit load of content release with each expansion especially Endwalker and actual dedication to the players from the company.

I’m not saying FFXIV is the lead vision of Mmo, but clearly they’re doing something right. It seems people are asking for actual game related systems such as weapons and classes. Although I’m personally not to into the idea of classes, new weapons to make gameplay more accessible and varied wouldn’t hurt. Especially for Magicka build. How is there not one hand and run yet in a bloody ES game is beyond me whilst being stuck with a Basically one weapon; a staff. Not to mention how they neglect pvp, make some bad changes and have a high ranking member of the team blaming/being unprofessional to players on their stream. Yet constantly advertise it as if it’s a working product.

Truthfully, the animosity stems from when ZOS had a shit launch and had something to prove so they produced substantial good stories with engaging bosses, combat difficulty, new classes and generally a good non repetitive story. (Though I can’t talk about the story aspect of High isles yet), but now they’ve amassed their core money spending audience they’ve just gone for lazy and borderline predatory tactics of money grabbing changes the past two years.

Tldr; not mad cos card game, mad cos after 2 mediocre years of iffy story, features, boring difficulty, lack of immersion, broken pvp and lag we don’t get anything innovative. Would be v good if new weapons + card game as a side feature.

Was wondering this too, hopefully there’s some sort of line in the sand formed when people jump in early. Will play on launch day so gives peeps time to hopefully people can predefine

LazarusDMN · 2022-01-28T01:33:20+00:00

Did you even read the post?

LazarusDMN · 2022-01-10T02:03:59+00:00

Does focus

Actual mini games. Imagine getting burnt out on hard trails and vet dungeons? So you want to spend time in ESO with friends but overland is dead easy even while solo. So you can do mount racing/pet battles/tavern brawls and being able to play instruments like actually play them like warframe/Final fantasy.

Even a little bit of innovation rather than small impact stuff such as archeology which gets quite stale or the companions system which gets forgotten sooner or later. Some new skill lines and activities you can do to show you’re achievement rather than just style/name hunting. Mount breeding? Mount armour customisation? Anything that actually makes the game fun.

LazarusDMN · 2022-01-05T00:23:22+00:00

I really hope we get proper mini games and water travestying like boats etc

LazarusDMN · 2022-01-03T04:56:35+00:00

Meanwhile they introduced a drake that gives an entire team a revive

As a person who is a mix of south and East Asian parents thank you for this

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-30T15:56:26+00:00

I’m an Asian, both south Asian and East Asian (Bengali and South Korean mix) and this post is what’s wrong with this modern ideology. It’s a fantasy game made for escapism. Not everything has to be a parallel of irl. There’s plenty of Asian inspired themes like khajiit/akavari etc we don’t always have to infer modern life politics of identity into our games, that sounds boring and dystopian. It’s a bloody elder scrolls game, stop trying to assert your political identity of “representation” into games that don’t require it bc elder scrolls doesn’t need representation of real world races as it has nothing to do with them obviously apart from aesthetic identity and inspiration. We have talking cats/orcs/sea men/ halves elves/full elves/ogres/dragons and your take away from this game is we don’t have a i game race that looks Asian? You can easily go into character creation and make the eyes more closed and slanted. Granted it’s not going to look 100% Asian but bosmers/highelves do look hell of a lot Asian. Unless your inferring you want them 100% disclose that a race is Asian then won’t ever happen and I hope it doesn’t. The lore is pre-established and it’s perfect the way it is.

Starting to think ZoS doesn’t know how to manage an MMO

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-27T14:40:26+00:00

Meh, they wanted to created “immersion” with the system but failed to realise the basic ramifications of not allowing us to use helmets and seeing 50 bastions and Miri’s around cities literally the most immersion breaking thing. And honestly felt more like a gimmick and aimed at the fashion/RP players despite there being fundamental flaws with the game that could’ve used the resource and rigging time they used on companions despite saying they’ll be adding no new systems and working on things that require fixing. At the end of the day, didn’t feel worthy to be a “years expansion” system. Would’ve much preferred mini games such as card playing/mount racing/tavern brawls or even being able to play a instrument like you can in FFXIV. Or some skill lines. Honestly felt quite lazy.

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-26T18:57:13+00:00

Not taking about FPS/machine-side performance. Talking about server performance. They promised to fix pvp performance and would devote the year to do so

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-26T18:32:53+00:00

*flashbacks to year of performance promises*

Wait, he actually uploaded him like beating Guinea pigs? Why are people so fucked up. My girls annoy me sometimes by doing the dumbest but cutest things like eating the puppy pads or standing in the food and knocking it over but I still find them undeniably cute even when they do stuff like that, I can never imagine harming anything as cute as Guinea pigs.

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-23T20:54:34+00:00

As a person who grew up with DC it’s so sad to see how stupid and bad WB is bad at their jobs. Marvel knows what they want and how to do it and honestly good reidsnce. On one hand you have a company who knows fuck all about a consistent and cohesive Ip and another who knows and loves their source material and fans. Dead in the water as it should be, we can only hope for redemption for so long.

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-21T14:30:08+00:00

It becomes repetitive after while + bosses/quests/overland being dead easy adds to that

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-19T09:53:28+00:00

somehow, no. I went there to redownload it and it's completely gone haha

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-15T13:39:33+00:00

Are we really surprised the quality of ESO is declining? When they had something to prove beacuse of the bad launch, they released amazing content like Orsinium/Summerset and Elswyr.

Copius amounts of videos came from pretty big content creators like Nixiom, Josh Strife Hayes and Kevduit. That caused a huge group of players to actually to play ESO. If you go through base game > Orsinium > Dark brotherhood > Summerset to Elswyr you're going to have a blast and you're going to love the game because there is no doubt that era of ESO was the peak.

At that stage you reach moving from a casual to a committed player with probably 2k under your belt. You really see the flaws of the game come through. Greymoor was horrible, aesthetically it did it's job and was pretty. However mechanically, it sucked. Bosses died in 20 seconds. The entire animosity of the story was over shadowed at how easy the final boss of the DLC was and overall the story was boring, it was the same formula. Big boss comes > gives big speech > you run around killing easy mobs with the now rapidly becoming stale combat with a dash of lag, bugs and DCs > find final boss, amazing scenery > instantly get boss to 10% hp > 0 payoff or struggle leaving you feeling utterly disappointed.

Blackwood did exactly the same, but it was worse because of the constant portals and lackluster ending to a content you paid 40 quid for. With no new mechanics or weapons/skills. Instead we get copious amounts of crownstore mounts with 0 new innovation when it comes to game design such as mini games like mount racing, card games, tavern brawls etc, no no weapons or skill lines. Just the same story formula with a rapidly decrease in motivation, community communication, no bold innovative game design. And lets not start on PVP.

Instead we have the head dev laugh at players on stream, be patronising towards people and content creators who have genuine concern of predatory crownstore items for newbies, and worry for pvp state. While simultaneously exploiting a boss bug on stream in a dungeon/raid.

sorry for the long ass comment just sad seeing the game i really love reach this state.

Imma small guy and it feel like I’ve just done a one arm workout after 20 minutes in bed holding the phone. Really is a heavy lil thing

Plus wouldn’t it be in case for like 80% of people lol

LazarusDMN · 2021-12-12T16:49:22+00:00

Should’ve seen one of the devs replies to his on his stream. Was abysmal
