General Games Discussion

The game is 10 times better than it was in beta and I think it would be a real shame if you guys didn't give it a try, especially considering it is on sale for lke 20-30 dollars atm. I do believe it was overhyped but after a poor release it still has this stigma of being a terrible, dead game which is completely far from reality. Twoism, I can understand why you quit but I disagreed. I was in awe with the epic PvP battles and the end game content in Craglorn with the 12 man trials. Never judge and mmo based on its early content. Its the end game content that truly decides what an mmo is and I feel like ESO has and continues to receive hate for problems that were solved 9 months ago.

They have added a ton of content, which I will list here:

Made in-game chat much more peaceful by implementing many different lines of defense against black market gold farmers, spammers, and botters
Fixed a far-reaching quest bug that prevented quests from advancing properly—a bug that plagued us through the first few weeks of launch
Released Craglorn, our first major update, with new Veteran Ranks, a new zone for veteran players to explore, and 12-player Trials
Released many Veteran Dungeons, giving veteran-ranked players the ability to experience new adventures that add to the dungeon storylines introduced in earlier levels
Re-designed many of the delves throughout Tamriel to be larger and more challenging
Introduced the Dragonstar Arena, which presents four-player groups with a progression of challenging PvE encounters
Introduced new quality-of-life systems like the ability to dye your armor, new upgraded conversation and face animations, guild tabards, chat bubbles, and much more
Smoothed combat animations and timing, which is an ongoing process
Reconfigured Campaigns in Cyrodiil to make them shorter and more interesting
Made repeatable dungeon and crafting quests, and implemented scaling dungeon difficulty

Future updates:

The Champion System, a new way for veteran players to improve their characters (Skyirm constellation leveling system)
The Justice System, which brings crime—and its repercussions—to Tamriel (Skyrim type justice system with PvP elements, players can become thieves or guards)

Both of these are on the Public Test Server and will be out soon.

Imperial City

PVP & PVE objectives in city
Can capture districts for your alliance - this gives you rewards
PVE gives rewards + lots of gold
New armor: Imperial Daedric

Spellcrafting

New spells are classed into the typical Elder Scrolls schools(Alteration, Conjuration, Destruction, Illusion, Mysticism, Restoration)
Players use a new spell to reveal hidden doorways
Doorways contain stone tablets which provide part of a spell to craft
Players will use a mini-game (like lockpicking) to make a copy of the pieces until they have the complete tablet
Spellcrafting will let you create spells using different "focuses" (examples were spells made into ultimates, added cast times for more effects, allowing summoned creatures to be permanent pets, making something into an AOE, etc)
Tablets created with spellcrafting can be traded and sold


All in all, I think this game has received some justified hate (at the start) but Zenimax has really fixed those and made this game a great game in my opinion. So I highly recommend you get it.

I see. Well i can see they are really working on it , but tbh , i mostly wanted to try it just because of the "Elder Scrolls" .. not sure if i am into online gaming any more , let alone of this type.

Idk , i guess i will be thinking about it , but i do remain reluctant despite the improvements . Not sure if i even have the will to focus on such kind of games these days.
