Wasted $80 dollars on a worthless game. Do not buy.

Ok, Huge Elder Scrolls fan. Been playing ever since Morrowind. That said. If you are too, then do not waste your time on this game.

1. Login failures, annoying, not a great start.

2. I purchased the special edition with all the bells and whistles. But guess what, only I get the bells and whistles, my wife and brother who want to play on my xbox don't get it. Zenimax says "you have to purchase that dlc again." For DLC... I... already...
purchased.

3. Combat is slow and clunky. The game literally has the combat system used in games from ten years ago.

4. Every time you turn around they make the game overly difficult and frustrating so that you WANT to purchase in game money. Like way shrines, you can use them only so often otherwise it costs hundreds of gold to use. Just one example of the dozens of annoyances
I have found like that.

5. You only get 60 inventory spaces which would be fine except the count crafting items as items so a flower takes up a whole inventory space.

6. Most items found in the world can be sold for 0 gold. Which shouldn't be horrible because you can break items down for their raw materials, except its not guaranteed if you get anything. Most items you get nothing.

7. Except for special dungeons and pvp you cannot quest with friends. You can each solo the same quest at the same time but group questing is a no-go. Which means no helping friends.

8. The area is flooded with players, often doing the same quest as you so you have literally twenty or so people standing around waiting for the big boss at the end of a dungeon to spawn. Then all hell and lag breaks out when he does and the fight literally
lasts seconds.

9. Bad guys can hit you with a sword from twenty feet away. No joke.

10. Immersion is horrible. You wait in line to cure some npc with a potion. Watch him stand up and say "Thank you" then fall back on the floor so the next guy can heal him with his potion.

11. Playing areas at your level is to easy and playing above your level is suicide. You attack a heavily fortified enemy siege location... except their forces consist of two bad guys that spawn over and over again... Huh? I literally have to run around
looking for someone to fight.

12. You can only sell so many stolen goods a day.

13. no mini map and no red dots for enemies... but that doesn't matter because enemies don't see you until you hit them, basically.

14. After level six you cant respawn where you died. You can if you have special crystals. Please purchase a pack of those in the store for real money.

15. Even after paying $60 or more on this game respecing your character skills costs almost ten dollars.

16. There is no magic skill trees. Only staff skill trees. So you cant level up healing like in previous editions you have to level up "restoration staff." Which would be ok except you cannot switch weapons mid fight. at least not until level 15.

17. Support on this game is worthless. I went to the forums on their website and tried to write some posts. After an hour of dealing with support I still could not log on my forum account. It kept saying their server was not recognizing my ip address and
it kept sending me codes to me email to authenticate. Finally I got signed in and went to the forums. I tried to post and it said "please sign in" even though my name was at the top as logged in. So I type in my info for the thousandth time and it tells me
my name was not recognized... Call customer support again. So while I was waiting I read forum stuff, only to read complaint after complaint of things wrong with the game on the PC side that has yet to be addressed after all this time. How long has it been
out? A year almost?

Those were just SOME of the annoying things that I have found after a day of owning this game. My PC friends laugh at me and say "That is just how MMO's are." WHAT?! Bad graphics and crappy games are what the "PC Master Race" have been dealing with for years?!
And they have been so desensitized that they think that its normal?! Ugh.

I am just sad that I bought this game digital so I can't return it for at least some of my money back.

Hacked Xbox Live Account

Okay, so two days ago my xbox account got hacked , i dont know who did it and he wasted 80 DOLLARS and im so pissed i looked on download history and i saw he bought two games on demand and 1600 microsoft points . what can i do?

P.D i didnt give away my email or anything

 

PC/Mac users town hall - Is ESO noteworthy?

Broken game is broken.....and now unplayable. Wasted many hoursinto my build and with a patch or two my time has been wasted. DO NOT GET IT. You will be very upset after 2 months and 90 dollars spent.

 

Once the server issues subside the game will be very good.

You're entitled to your opinions but it appears that your expectations for a RPG single player game rather than what this is, which is MMO RPG game. You've only experienced maybe .5% of the whole game

Most of what you describe is normal for all MMO games and the issues are launch related. Hundreds of thousands of ppl downloading and trying to log in one server all at once causes this until the developer opens up the servers more for the traffic.

This is how World of Warcraft begun. Come back in July and give it a fair chance

 

Ok just picking at three of your points

#5 You can buy inventory spaces from a merchant in the towns you start in (different for each alliance) Also upgrading the horses at stables can get you increased inventory space

#13 the enemies do show up as red dots so perhaps just a glitch on your end

#14 It's called soul gems and all you need is one that is filled that affects the proper level of your character

 

Wayshrines are free trips from wayshrine to wayshrine. You just have to find them and use your map not your money. I hope it gets better for you! Launch day is always a mess with so many excited for it1

 

I really was afraid it would be a great disaster after the first day but don't if they fixed the things so early! If they did I got to say your post is worthless! Seems like you expect it to be perfect, its not but its so good and if it keeps going like
now ill be completely happy! Even if the problems happened only due to the first rush of people still it means that the game recovered so sooon and I'm happy!

 

6. most of the beginning sell for 0g and the junk lying around the vendors.

7. you can group and quest with friends except for solo missions which are usually the prophet quest and guild quest. when questing with friends most of the stuff will be completed at the same time only one person has to do the leg work.

16. yes there are magic skill trees use a sorcerer. for heals use a templer

11. i have no problem killing things 5 levels higher than me.

but im going to add some.

18. some times you will be sitting at a loading screen for over 5 mins.

19.get randomly kicked from server to sit and wait for over an hr to get back in. or as soon as you get back in you get kicked right back out and have to wait another hr.

 

Delusional this game will not be good when servers are fixed and second this is the worst launch i have seen for a big mmo or any game in the past 2 decades its bloody mess .nothing is resolved on the x1 its been nearly 2 hours of trying to sign in then
you do and when your making your character it kicks you and it starts all over and this has happened 3 times WTF having to start making a character 3 times over is a joke and i am returning my copy to EB games, so then i pass the the first cave part and it
disconnects it takes 20 mins to get back in and my character is gone need to create again. DONT BUY THIS GAME its a broken mess even by day 1 MMO standards it is horrible with lag , stuttering , data loss and so much more and thats if you can even get in to
a game you spent $60-$120 on . thanks to EB my copy is going back tomorrow for a full refund .

 

I don't know how stupid you have to be to only make 1 server for a community as large as xbox live , mega server more like mega dumb . I played for an hour and almost fell asleep , this game sucks . Nothing but a huge gimme all your money for a stupid horse
rip off already took this piece a crap to trade off .

 

Typical MMO ranters. Guess what guys. I played this on pc and it was the same it is now. And it might be a mega server but it has multiple servers in those mega ones. I know when I get home from work Ill give my 2 cents about you rangers complaining about
how MMOs run. Just a taste, your on a Xbox one. Don't expect it to be as glorious as it running on pc. Even pc has its issues so ye, if you have any problems I can help you just don't diss a game because its had a rough re-release on consoles. At least you
don't have to deal with botters and etc.

 

^ Ment to say ranters, not rangers.

 

Lol people seem to think there is only 1 server that hosts all players when that is wrong. Often times when I invite friends to my group they get a message " is currently in a different instance. would you like to join them?" Otherwise think just
how crowded the starting town would be? Also no mmo has had a smooth launch and anyone that played WoW would know this

 

^ exactly. As said if you have a problem or question ask someone. Don't think the games P2W and etc.

 

18. I shaved my balls for THIS?!
