Curious...how's eso?

From what I can tell morale is super high for the game. People are excited for another class. I love the questing experience in that game and haven’t played since like the huge one Tamriel update I think?

I still remember doing some of those quests which is really odd. But they are very memorable. I’m craving some elder scrolls action but burnt out from the main title games. Anyone playing eso the recommends it right now? How does it compare to WoW?

I wish wow would copy eso’s crafting system. It is so good you don’t even see the treadmill.

ESO isn’t like wow in the slightest. Basically, its skyrim as an MMORPG with set base classes - but you can further select more skills with other class-line you unlock from different places, as well as weapon-skill lines.

The world is HUGE, much bigger then Azeroth. You can go anywhere and do whatever quests you want in any zone thought many of the zones are behind DLC so you’ll eiher have to buy them outright or pay ESO monthly to access it all+free premium currency per month.

Their cash shop is predatory for cosmetics, but you can ignore it.

They have HOUSING!!! Real legit awesome housing. From small houses to mansions and tons of furninutes and all crazy themes.

Dungeons are speedrunned by high geared players so youll often see people ZOOM through the place, its nuts. I haven’t done an ESO raid.

The game is solo-friendly too, your not forced into dungeons or raids.

And what impresses me most: ALL NPC dialogue is fully voiced. Not half-done like wow is. Even if NPC is not quest related, they will voice fully everything they say. And quest related npcs have multiple endings for quests too at times.

Its 100% worth checking out.

If you want to play Skyrim but you’re sick of Skyrim, play ESO.

There I added one more sentence there at the end so it’s about WoW too.

Sorry to trigger y’all and any future people who are triggered from me asking about another game. Wish you well, and better health.

You might have more luck asking about the current state of ESO, on the ESO forums. Thought you posters came out on Sundays?

I finally recovered my account it’s not connected to steam unfortunately! But I’m downloading now and giving it a go!

I have the collection up to blackreach I guess and didn’t even know. Lol. Guess I bought it thinking I was gonna play or something :rofl: at least it’s not a barebones account.

Hopefully I can find a guild that is helpful to new players

one thing i liked about eso is their materials bank tab was unlimited storage if you had the sub

edit their pvp system they have is more like. lets help out this one player more then the others to get the emperor buff and achivment

I was in the closed beta testing and thought to myself afterwards “I should get the collectors edition since I beta tested it!”
and then proceeded to not even install the full release until MANY years later.

When my fiance and I did end up playing later on… we were VERY confused.
We couldnt seem to find each other for a long time, we had trouble understanding the map when it came to locating each other.
I also struggled when it came to making a different character, because apparently, claiming collectors edition stuff is ONLY for one character, which was strange? A GM ended up helping me claim on a different toon, as I had already deleted the first one (because we were struggling to find each other and thought making a new character in a different zone would help)
We ended up not really playing at all after we found ourselves so confused. We werent really in a mood at the time to struggle any more.
It looks like it could be fun, but for us and at least at the time when we made our new characters, everything seemed very confusing and strange.
Maybe one day we’ll give it another shot… But TBH, Skyrim and some of the older games seem more fun, despite not (unless you do some janky stuff) being online.

o yea if you wan to hit hard get leather and the class skills and the vampire/WW class skills lol

Have you noticed how many people want wow to be like something else ?
Why do you still play wow then ?
I guess WoW wont be some other game any time soon.
And I would guess WoW devs are striving actually to NOT BE like other games.

As I said before, this game looks more like a “portifolio game” than a production game at this point. Devs here dont want to make a game people play, they want to make a game the shows they can work somewhere else, or at some other game.

It is like those players who will sabotage their team because a lookout of the official leagues is watching.

did I say anything of the sort in my post?

Please just go. thanks.

have I said you name ?
Not, and be sure I wont ever.

k bye

for questing it’s the best game on the market. I don’t like any of their systems though or end game. Just casual play.

ESO
What it does well!
Questing: A++
Crafting: A++
Playerbase: A
Dev interaction: A
PvP: A++ (subjective but I LOOOOVE the besieging towers fights!)
Gear Customization: A++ (Dyes so nice)
ANY RACE, ANY CLASS, ANY FACTION (WoW needs this)

What It doesn’t Do well
Raiding, getting a raid together is a nightmare, there was no LFG tool when I was playing so you had to run around trying to find people for hours since the playerbase is spread out all over (this is an extreemely old opinion since last time I played was like 2016 or something)

Overall it is a really great game with a RP focus and alot of story to delve into, if you are a hardcore raider is the only type of player I wouldn’t recommend play it based on my outdated experience with the game lol.
