I think it's time we start shaming players who do subclassing.
Argonians and Khajiit should be enslaved forever
FACT: Khajiit are the most powerful race in Tamriel.
Trumpanzee b liek
My account in ten fucking years old.It is done.Fuck the base game quests.
>>2090482FalseThat's canonically the Argonians.
>>2090946I sure hope you mean the Hist, egg-sibling.
>>2089884agreed, I miss being able to pvp and get mad at the nightblades, now everyones a nightblade hybrid mix, what's the fun in that..
how does the furnishing vault work
>>2091070place it in your home somewhere and you can use it like an extra larger bank for furnishingsit has the same inventory if you put it in different homes
>>2091081can you still use it when your sub is over
>>2091106you can use it to withdraw or place the furnishings in it but you won't be able to deposit anymore
>pve and pvp dds need assassination>tanks and healers need siphoning>if your [any character] isn't a NB you'll have a dead weight skill lineI'm not sure why everyone's mad about the beam, it isn't even the strongest skill in its line
>>2090879My account is beta and launch old.I still haven't completed this.
I touch myself at night knowing pvp nerds suffer
>>2089612why are they holding fish?
>>2090774Send them all to Ayrenn's Vineyard
daily login rewards for this month
>>2092096gonna use my foodstamps to buy that stinky rat
The December clown store showcase is up. All-maker crate and purple fatecarver are the things that caught my eye. You just know the skill style will be overpriced
I spent my seals on this cool dog
Is the complete edition of the game at its cheapest now? Or is it going to be cheaper on the next sale?
Which class/race combo would you fug?
>>2093146why does the class matterstop fucking bears
>>2093249Different classes lend themselves to different personalities.A Dragonknight might view the bedroom as an arena where they conquer or are conquered by their partner.A Templar might view the act as sacred where every moment is meant to be special, or even something that should only happen under the blessing of Dibella.A Sorcerer is going to probably lean into more experimental stuff.A Night Blade is going to be more open to quickies or one-night-stands.A Warden might lean to more exhibitionist stuff like making love outside.A Necromancer is going to be a fucking freak.
>>2093028it's usually the cheapest when they're about to release the next expac (february or march)
>>2093363Thank you.
>>2093146any argonian female, really
>>2093376The monkey's paw curls.You wake up next to a Shadow Scale.
>>2093146I just want to romance femceloid
>>2093302sometimes I read posts that make me realize I'm not as autistic as I thought
the event is about to enddon't forget to grab the last tickets
>>2094533KeK it floppedRepeat after me:>DYING >GAME
>>2094663It all depends on if they don't fuck up the content reveal next year and they make some subclassing changes to strengthen pure classes.
Is Altmer society high trust?
>>2094663You'll be bleating this 20 years later
I heard that ZOS might be trying to fix subclassing by buffing your main class abilities more and nerfing the subclassed abilities. Will this actually make a difference or is it just a really shitty band-aid?
Why does /v/, and other shit areas of the internet, keep thinking this is related to either TES or TESO? ZOS can't even run an event in game successfully let alone do viral marketing.
>>2094877because they've only ever played Skyrim and have a very surface level understanding of the series so any large spooky statue = daedric shrine, clearly
Really I don't know why you say subclassing is broken, apparently only PVP nerds seem to be bothered by it. ZOS shouldn't make a big change just for a community that represents less than 25% of their player base and which also spends way less than PVEers and Housing bitches
>>2094877>>2094879I don't recall Skyrim having anything like that, looks more like ESO slop to me. Now ZOS doesn't have the funds to build statues to hype up their 2026 season pass, nor would anyone in their right mind call that a huge announcement. But I wouldn't dare to claim Bethesda can't have bought into ESO lore and art style.
>Read the combat live letter>classes getting artstyle changes (FINALLY)>skill lines getting reorganized to make sense>subclassing being treated as a choice rather than the boring slop it is nowIt might finally be time to play ESO again after 4ish years. I suppose the fear of job hunting has finally caught up with them.
NOOOO DON'T TAKE AWAY MY SUBCLASSING WHAT ELSE WILL I DO BESIDES DAWN+ASS+ARC
>>2095078So the corpses mechanic and tether skills will remain? Oh, how great.
>>2094663seems stable to me
>>2094838yes>>2094852subclassing should have been added that way in the first place, prioritizing you main class over the other ones
>necro second-last in priority despite being the most assMannimarco was right, fuck this gay earth
they cant take away my sorc skills i have skill styles on them already
>>2095270Nah, Dragonknight is certifiably the most ass and needs the most work. >Ugliest skills in the game (LOOKING AT YOU VOLITILE ARMOR AND DRAGONS BLOOD)>second most disorganized class in the gameNecro sucks because of the lack of mechanics and rewardI'm happy. I'm getting exactly what I want. Be patient, brother, we will get there.
>>2095078>>2095149Is this related to that class feedback form they did a few months back?
>>2095471necro sucks because you deal more damage with scribed skills than using your own class skills
>>2095529What 4 years of bad combat changes does to a mf
took me 6 years but i finally completed this boring garbageevery fucking zone is the same, including DLC>dark otherwordly force threatens the land and the ruling head of state>you retake some cities from said force while allying with The Zone's Good Guys who may or may not include selected exceedingly powerful individuals>head of state is killed at some point and you travel to the region's version of afterlife to reclaim the head's soul>final assault and/or defense against le evil force>ur da hero here's 600 gold, a skill point and some garbage item you'll immediately deconstruct
pen0r
>>2095784Murkmire, Wrothgar, Thieves Guild, DB and Elsweyr did something different, as far as I recall. I'm pretty burnt out on the "prevent demon apocalypse/big war!!!" storylines though
>>2095784big autistic energy coming from this screenshot
>>2090774>>2091680Fucking hell I'm on my kneel laughing.
I am hopeful for ESO's future
Naryu romance next year will save ESO
Naryu romance.Single classes with no subclasses receive some sort of buff.A political enemy rather than just another deadra cult for the 20th time.There, I will spend lots of money on crowns zenimax.
>>2095960Serious question:Isn't that what The Elder Scrolls as a series is?Excluding Arena, because I straight-up don't even know the first thing about it:>DaggerfallGo save the king from this lich who becomes a god by the end of the game.>BattlespireGo save the Battlespire from the literal devil because some dumbass allied with him.>MorrowindGo fulfil this ancient prophecy because three god went full retard eons ago and now the consequences of their actions has showed up.>OblivionGo stop Actually Satan from invading and merging the world with hell because some dumbass allied with him for power.Also the king dies. GG.>SkyrimGo stop this world-eating god-dragon from eating or enslaving the world.Also you're the super special powerful chosen-one and only you can save us.
>>2096227>A political enemy rather than just another deadra cult for the 20th time.member the ascendant order? I member
>>2096260the three latest installments don't have you wrestling the sleepers/mythic dawn/dragon cultists away from every second village/town>>2096140I'm sorry your favorite mumorpuger uses the same template for every zone you niggercattle, next time we'll triple the whedonisms and offer you a spitroast between that faggot darien and skordo
>doubling down on the super special class lorethere is no salvaging dk's lame dragon larping and magma spikes lol
By lore, ES dragons don't breath fire but they use shout right?
are they dropping a new patch with this update in which case, any ideas or patchnotes? Seems rather excessive to have 7 hours downtime but what do i know, i didnt play that game too much
lol this place is dead af
also why is every quest giver le stronk independent women and every npc failing is a white incompetent and optionally evil dude? I install quest skipper mod ust to not bother reading any more of this drivel was skyrim equally as bad? Ive played morrowind for 100 hours recently and it wasnt THAT bad, one of the more competent and likeable characters was the fights guild dude who uses you to rid the corruption of the fighters guild for example
>>2097265but enough about nords
>>2097077Yes. Dragonknights don't make any sense at face value. Its safe to say Gabrielle was right and they are just a bunch of bunch of LARPing weeaboos using basic destruction magic
>>2097358Shouts are essentially basic destruction magic in the cases that apply and can be warded against.
>>2097358None of the base classes make sense really. DK's Akavir connection is dubious at best, NBs feel more like vampires than illusionists, "aedric magic" isn't a distinct thing from regular magic, and sorcs are bizarre. Who plays a summoner and just stops at mid-tier daedra, and why does dark magic=crystals? I suspect the classes and 3-faction pvp were designed with an original setting in mind, then they got orders to make it Elder Scrolls and decided to adapt what they had instead of starting from scratch.
>>2097265This game was pozzed from the start. Playing AD, the very first thing you do is kill the le evil racists for your girlboss queen. Skyrim at least had the balls for you to side with the racist faction
Is there a lore explanation as to why the monsters in the Infinite Archive get stronger and stronger?
>>2097637yes, CHIM
>>2097593>>2097325the retarded woman stands up to the king/counts/general must be ingrained into the cuck wirter genetic dna at this point.
Jorunn, Emeric, Irnskar, Sai Sahan, Shalidor, Vanus, Darien, King Dynar, Torvesard? all strong independent women
>>2097255new crate in the crown store
>Chuddy(a khajiit himself):"Sounds good. Where do i sign up?"
i need some help or idea.Im doing a light attack build only just for fun and so far noble duelist, balhazars band, slime head and mothers everything else. I want to replace mothers but the crit is just really good. I tried molag kena but it was only like 800 more damage on an 16k crit per hit. I wasnt impressed so i went back to mothers. Im currently farming undaunted unweaver but it kinda goes against the light attacks only rule so im a bit torn atm. You have any suggestions?
>>2098114*besides killing myself that is
>>2098114you could try something generic like Order's wrath or Pillar of nirn
this game needs an 8th class
Excited for class identity refresh.Excited for Naryu romance.luv eso.Simple as.
you play like 4 hours a year you don't luv shit retard
>>2098544>excited for naryu romanceI will pray for you. I hope you get better. You deserve better than this.
>>2098832You mean, like, 2 Naryus?
>>2098832the only thing better would be Valsirenn romance
>>2098544The Bosmer guy who canonically fucked Naryu was very excited too!
>>2098206true
the fuck is going on with alliance VS alliance this time?
Not played for a few years, are there any strong arguments to/not to return just now? I have seen subclassing and I imagine almost everybody is playing the exact same build now with beam, which sounds awful. Anything fun to do or avoid? Also the thread is in /vm/ now?
the new crate…mid
>>2100382arcanist beam reigns supreme
>>2100614It's not even new Again. Dead game. They don't even bother to make new slop to sell.
>doing leyawiin zone story>dagon appears a grand total of two times>his model doesn't have lipsync and is so badly animated it looks like it came out of a 1999 gameat least i got three hot bitches to gawk at my cool lizardboth it and greymoor were full of girlboss bullshit btw so nothing changed from the previous DLCs and base game>>2101109the game might be dead but that's no reason to lie
How long does AD take?I finally made it to Cadwell's Gold and I kinda just want to power through it.I'm already fully aware of the story of each zone due to reading the wiki, and it seems like anything not involving Razum-Dar doesn't matter in the long run once I start to complete DLC chapters.
>>2100382Don't bother returning. Zos is full of shit as always.
>>2100382IF you can have fun just going through quests and treating the game like a single player story game, then yeah. I'm having fun.No way in hell would I ever try to do multiplayer shit outside of the daily normal dungeon, though.I also buy gold off of Player Auctions whenever I want a new set of gear, so my opinion is probably shit.
What is the theme of these crates even supposed to me? Orcs + Khajiit, but why? How is any of this stuff related to anything? And why does Forgemaster's Throne defy all the laws of mundus
>"We drank the water and something bad happened!">go inside>the water is glowing green with stereotypical poison clouds wafting off of itCome on guys
>>2102233when it comes to crown crates, don't overthink, just accept
Mirri romance....
>>2102498Crown crates are canon
>>2102543they aren'tyou don't see stuff like (>>2092911) around in the 3rd and 4th eras
>>2098114so i got the unweaver set and now crit for up to 18.5k. The downside is i need to use merciless resolve stamina morph every 10 seconds but i think unbuffed on the weakest dummy i could find with 300k health i sit around 24-27 dps. i cant imagine another way to boost my dps higher than going from violet to yellow quality. The ticks on my heavy attack lightning staff are around 22k with a crit and obviously the last tick does around 50k so ill never reach those numbers but the pro is 2h is always aoe so while with the staff i had to finish off every single mob one by one it took mere seconds to do so on a 2h axe.
>>2102547You can see some in Skyrim anniversary edition with approved creation club content(also canon). You will see more storm atronach horses in TES VI.
>>2102524why are you dressing her like a street whore? She's better than that
Have you always been able to queue into dungeons from Cyrodiil?
>>2102547>>2102557this is Arvak erasure
the daedric horse mount from Skyrim's Creation Club looks Crown Store as fuck
>>2102793ADAW
>>2103135It probably is from the crown store. They've put stuff in from that shitty blades game into the creation club so this wouldn't be any different.
>>2103135Missing the full body neon halo and a gay furry prostitute in a carnival costume
>>2102547Morrowind had giant flea busses, Oblivion let you ride a unicorn, and Skyrim added a few magic mounts later. The newer mounts are going too far with the glow effects but for the most part crate mounts aren't that out of place for the setting. The real problem is seeing dozens of them in every town because MMO. "Realistically" they'd be much rarer and limited to certain areas, groups, or individuals.
why didn't we get any new companions this year?
>>2105800maintenance mode
>>2105800ded game
>>2105800We're probably getting one in Jan or Feb considering the Valentine's Day event achievements tell you to gain a gazillion rapport with a companion. Or maybe we're meant to take the old ones on murder sprees and have sweaty makeup sex, I don't know
>>2105800They should update the existing ones first. Allow us to travel with up to three companions at a time. Add new voice-lines plus reactivity. Bantz, obviously. And, of course, romances. Bastian, Mirri, Ember - playersexual. Azandar - gay. Isobel - gay, unless you're an altmer. Too much for lazy, greedy asses.
>>2105909What are we still missing, an orc and a bosmer? How will they screw it up?
arcanist is the only class you needeverything else is irrelevant
>>2106569based and morapilled
>>2106569oh boy, beams
>>2105822>>2105823This
Just coming back after a long time away, only played casually - normal dungeons, overland shit, etcMy "spell damage" and "physical damage" as well as the spell/phys crit rating are matched, and when hovering over them, they say they work "if higher" than the other. Almost every goddamn thing I can find boosts both spell and physical damage or spell and phys crit, am I just retarded and missing something, or is the text outdated? My damage feels fine (stamcro, even just fucking around trying to level up destruction staff and bow which I never used before), champ level is like 200 and I'm crushing delves (and overland content obviously), am I missing something, is the text just outdated?
>>2107158since update 33 (hybridization update) there hasn't been a distinction of physical and spell damage. They are both just one stat now
>>2105800Because they over invested in Blackbird and lost a bunch of staff when it got axed in the mass layoffs.>>2105974>orc is a fat woman who don't need no chief>bosmer is Tanlorin 2.0 but this time its a transman with top surgery scars
>>2105800Darien should have been the companion. He ain't doing anything.
>>2107177Gotcha, Thanks! I figured I'm just being paranoid, but holy shit does ZOS need to update that text in that case, hard to imagine anything more demoralizing than implying "all your effort is for naught" on a MMO stat screen.
>>2107158>>2107486why do you write like a woman

>My deadra is cool and not like those other deadra
>>2105974Forgot Nord. But I bet they'll have a 3rd khajiit before they do all the missing races.
>if you don't want to simp for a deadra, then you shouldn't play the base game main storyline, craglorn, morrowind, summerset, gold road, blackwood, necrom, or solsticeThis is honestly one of the things I don't like about eso. I love the game in general but I'm growing weary of every storyline except a few forcing you to simp for deadra. And the number of times I've had to read "they're not so bad!" from some idiot makes my eyes roll.I want another expansion that is not about deara, or it's about only killing deadra and reminding viewers that every problem mortals face is their fault. Why does it seem like the eso writing team are all deadra apologists, and why would that even be a thing in the first place
yum, map and story completion. All solo, although companions didn't exist when they first made all this so it's not true solo.Where to next I wonder.
I can assure you, I no longer enjoy playing this game. Not even my argonian characters motivate me, not even gooning. I've done almost everything, from PVP (which I hated) to Housing, from DLC dungeons to veteran trials and yet I simply find everything dull and repetitive and not worth paying for.I joined guilds, I tried to RP (did not like it), I befriended racists, furries, scalies, drug addicts, people different to my culture and mother language, all sorts of freaks...I liked some but I don't take online acquaintances seriously. I did want to join your guild but it seems it's even more dead than my desire to keep playing this game. I waited for cool stuff, got everything I wanted from the CLOWN store and other reward systems. I'm done, It's not fun anymore, it doesn't entertain me anymore.Thank you for reading my personal diary, anon signing off, have my last screenshot, good luck!

>>2111679is it fun as a casual game to sink time intoi like daggerfall morrowind oblivion and skyrim, but i heard the game is kind of bland overall i might be in the minority saying this, but i would hope it is a pretty social game i can't stand mmo-type games where all the players are silent as the grave 90% of the time and you can't tell if someone is actually present or afking
If the game is dead then why does this thread keep getting renewed?

>>2112302tell me more about this 'zos shill'
>>2111732ESO suffers from MMO-syndrome, so functionally it's just a generic take on TES. Characters look more generic, locations look more generic, gameplay is more generic, soundtrack is more generic, etc. Decent game overall with some nice features, but skippable.
>>2111732This game is more like those gacha Zelda clones than a classic mmo. For the most part you can treat it like a single player game and just explore the lore.
amazing quality control, zosi don't think even vanilla skyrim has water seams

The only thing that can save this game, for real now, is fan service. I am still waiting for that Lifts-her-tail costume in crown store or as a golden endeavor and no, don't put a diaper on the character's butt or make the skirt as long as a nun's habit, just make the skirt as short as the scorianite skirt.Christmas wish: Or make lifts her tail a companion, name her, follows-her-master and once we have completed her quest and gained her friendship, her name turns into follows-her-friend.The bonus she gives us?, +15 minutes to our drinks and food effects and also -50% to armor decay. And yes, give her a cute voice, no I don't care it breaks your already pathetic slop of a game "vibes".

I have had a key for this game since it came out and never botheredWhat are the top reasons to play this mmo vs something else that is low tier like fallout 76 or whatnot, I have zero idea what kind of appeal this game is supposed to have since all classes also can do all melee or magic stuff like a normal elderscrolls game as far as I know with weird ass classes
>>2116321>who cares about being "overpowered" in a pve game?The playerbase demanding 100k for vet content because they hate mechs and want to skip them. You either join the meta slaves or play single player.

>>2116902ripparoonies
>>2116321>who cares about being "overpowered" in a pve game?I do. Invuln phases are not fun gameplay nor good game design.

Why are people recommending this as a new world's alternative when its clearly now abandonware?
>>2120294why the hell would anyone play new world?
>>2120294>Eso is abandonwareHeh, true but it's because ESO has better housing and furry races.That's how I play this game now, a vaguely TES themed housing "game".
>abandonware>still getting new expansions and stories 10 years after launchyou guys have no idea what that word means
>Stage 1: Denial Face it, the game is in maintenance mode and I can literally list 100 reasons that prove it. The users of this chinese mongolian basket waeving forum can be childish, yes, but not naive or actually stupid, I really can't find another explanation for the way you cope than you being part of ZOS staff. Your toxic positivity brought this game to its current state.
>>2120540>"you're coping"I've been hearing that "this game is dead" since 2022. It's almost 2026 and the game is still here>toxic positivitydoesn't happen. zos gets criticized every single time they do something to the game
>>2120701They ignore it They even ban people from forums and censor discussions.And the cherry on top, they even make fun of their playerbase, calling them crybabies

Still, they put out a form 3 months ago asking people about the current state of classes and next year they will start to roll back on the subclassing system. we will see how it goes.>calling the playerbase crybabiesgina was specifically referring to pvpfags, and we can all agree that pvpers aren't human
liggerbros...we won
>>2121158What am I looking at?
>>2121158I have an idea how to revive this game. Contact Todd now.
If ESO tanks, what mmo will y'all switch to?
>>2121188the new divinity game
>>2121378I go back to SWTOR, the one MMO that won't die
>>2121378eso isn't going anywhere in the total sense, but between updates I love going back to swtor. It's a game I've been playing for over a decade and it always feels good to fly around the star wars galaxy. It's one of the last remaining pre-disney star wars projects and it still gets updates, albeit sometimes slow and sometimes small.I play pretty much every mmo that comes out, including the plethora of korean grindy ones, and I would say overall my favorite is swtor. I played wow for like a decade too, but I quit cold turkey during the jailer story arc because the writers stopped caring so why should I.There are a few upcoming mmo's I'll give a try, but nothing stands out as likely to become one I play a lot. pax dei is worth a try, and chrono odyssey, and a few others, but these don't feel like long term mainstays.>>2121188That's from the trailer for the new Larian game, in the Divinity franchise. Shown at the Game Awards last night. I love a lot of their games so I'm looking forward to it.
>>2121378I don't play MMOs
>>2121378ffxiv is the main eso is the side piece
>>2121158GIWTWM :(
>>2121188TESVI: Black Marsh world premiere
>>2121378I don't care for other MMOs, they are just animeslop or wow (which I never liked), the only reason that keeps (kept) me from playing this game is that it is supposed to be a TES game
>>2121379welp, looks like it's finally time to jump off the boatthe only think keeping me from abandoning this craphole of a game was my love for the only (i thought) place where I could find lizard racesShit looks good, and they actively engage in gooning fanservice. Bye zos, I will not miss you. The rest of you, get a life losers.
>lizard gooners are leavingW
>>2122712he said the same thing some days ago and he's still here...
>>2122712I'm still here and not going anywhere soon.
i don't hate gay people but i do hate the ones who constantly lie for attentionglad you won't be in my game some day
>>2122420If you're a lizardfag, play original sin 2.
turns out that you can actually get rid of the wall after doing a few zone quests
>>2124274same location before
which character they will bring back next time?
Is it worth getting into ESO? Or does it suffer from dailyslop, FOMOslop, and other flaws that make MMOs less enjoyable? I like MMOs but they're so hard to get into nowadays.
>>2126616Varen aquilarios or Abnur tharn
>>2126713Just play it casually and enjoy exploring the zones. Eventually get into the harder content like trials for fun. if you feel like, buy some cosmetics but there's no need to. That's the best way to play eso. I don't think the fomo is very bad in this game, and it has a normal login calendar thing like a million other games but it's just extras, there's rarely anything exclusive on them.
>>2126713only if you want to play it as a singleplayer game, players are abandoning it by the thousands and zenimax doesn't care about it anymore, it's on maintenance mode
>>2126739Abnur is likely but what on earth makes you think Varen is a possibility?
>>2126768>only if you want to play it as a singleplayer gameNevermind then. I hate it when MMOs are just singleplayer games with extra steps. What a shame.
>>2126768yea lad, keep saying that the game is in maintenance modeone day it may become true
>>2126775why are you so determined on lying to fellow gamers about the state of this game? reality doesn't care about your feelings, period.
>>2126781you have never seen seen a game in "maintenance mode" or "end of service"ESO is nowhere near that
This is still in the top few most popular mmo's, and is the most popular on consoles. We get multiple expansions every year and that has no sing of stopping. It's a straight up lie to say it's in maintenance mode, but I can give the benefit of the doubt and assume it's an ignorant /v/ tourist who doesn't actually know what that phrase means and they're just trying to say something negative. New World's recent announcement is what maintenance mode actually means.ESO is good for casually exploring the elder scrolls universe and visiting places a main game hasn't featured yet.It's somewhat shallow when you directly compare it to some of the other good mmo's, but if you're looking for a nice mellow casual game then it's great. The generally good graphics and voice acting make just wandering around doing quests and absorbing the visuals and locations enjoyable.The harder eso content isn't very hard compared to the harder content of some other mmo's, but that's by design, since this game is made with accessibility in mind. They want the skyrim boomer crowd to be able to do well. It's not a bad thing or a criticism, it's just a comparison to some of the higher apm and precision of some other mmo's.I always find it suspicious when someone says ":is this game dead" and then an immediate response says "yeah dude it's totally dead" and then another response something to the effect of "wow bro thanks for telling me, I won't bother". It feel like a ritual or performance rather than organic. Why would someone who's actually interested in a game not do their own research on a site that actually has player numbers? Why would you take the word of one anon who just says "yeah dude it's totally dead" and that's it? That's not how normal people conduct research.Anyway, ESO is not my main mmo, but it is one of them that I've played for a long time and will continue to play because it's always nice to relax with and come back to.
>>2126781Do you not know what maintenance mode actually means? It doesn't just mean the devs doing a shit job, it means doing literally nothing more than keeping the servers online. No balancing patches, no new content, not even more scam crates.
>We get multiple expansions every year and that has no sing of stopping. It's a straight up lieall we needed
>>2126814>no new scam crates>the big event was just a re-skin of all previous ones (and it flopped miserably)>extremely buggy game (ask the main event that would change the game)>no significant changes in combat>no significant changes in PVP>no changes in races and by the way you have to pay to play imperial even after 10 yearsno significant changes in animations (oh nevermind there are and guess what they are shit)Open your eyes, zos doesn't give a shit about this game, the only thing keeping it running is the love of fans for TES franchise...more than 10 years and the game hasn't changed at all other than routine maintenance and some nerfs/buffs
>>2126826Yes, all of that is true and a problem that could very well kill the game soon. It still isn't maintenance mode. That is a very specific term that objectively doesn't apply to ESO yet.
>>2126826>no new scam crateswrong, we got 4 crates this year (Carnaval, Akatosh vs Alduin, Hidden Kindred and Moons Over Orsinium)>the big event was just a re-skin of all previous onesnope, main problem with the event (other than the bugs) was that it dragged on for too long. Should have been 12 days instead of 40.>extremely buggy gamefeels bug-free compared to mainline bethesda games>no significant changes in combat>no significant changes in PVPgood>no changes in races and by the way you have to pay to play imperial even after 10 yearsthey wanted to add lilmothiit as a playable race in the murkmire dlc, but bethesda said no
>>2126837It feels like they really want to make Maormer playable too.
>>2126893akaviri, maormer, dremora, more varieties of argonian and khajiitimagine the possibilities...
>>2126899Akaviri and daedra would need to be in a new game written around that possibility. Maormer could just be barred from the AD and fit well enough.
>>2126899>akaviri, maormer, dremorathat'll never happen>more varieties of argonian and khajiitThis is possible. Maybe they could have different stats
>>2126616Unlikely, but I'd love to see Khamira again
>>2127200Don't like khajeets but this cat was enjoyable and I like her hhhrrmmm she kept doing
Next ESO cinematic should be like this. Tight breton woman X argonian behemoth or minotaur.
>>2127332>filenamekek
>>2097265Your have severe brain damage from the culture wars. Like anon said it before, it was all there from the start, and even long before that in the media. But you ignored it because your NPC cyberbrain didn't have the anti-woke update yet. You were fine with every second soldier/guardsman being female despite women being an obviously inferior choice for that kind of job. You were fine with no region being racially homogeneous to a more significant degree. At least in the real TES games the guards belonged to the races of their respective homelands. Every second guard in Vulkhel is not even an Altmer, forget about them being mostly male. You got cat thieves and midget cannibals standing guard alongside the divine golden-skinned Altmer in the holy homeland. By Auri-El, it was over before it even began.
