this is it. the final /tesog/
>>2719062Things seen bad right now, but I doubt the game will shut down anytime soon
#esofam
>>2719042>brothel employee doesnt have any cleavage showingno wonder this game is dying
>>2719188look where the dog is looking. think about what the tail represents. this is why the game will never die
>>2719072Depends on the new roadmap I think. It was already too little and too slow, bad enough delays could cause numbers to drop like a rock and we can't assume years of maintenance mode from Xbox in their current state.
>>2719042why does the black guy have the most fuckass bowlcut i've ever seen in my life?
>>2719072It's been dying for years at this point. The core is quite good but the monetization is too extreme. they should try create an m+ mode like wow, people love that in that game. to an extent they shot themselves in the foot by not creating a true open world game from the start because it would have aged much better I think.
how do i raise the level of an equipment if i like its stats/set? i only see how to upgrade rarity
>>2719926You probably already have it in your stickerbook, so just transmute a new one for your desired level
>>2719958what
i just tried to do Alik'r dolmen farming and was getting like no xp. did 5 of them and didnt level up once whats with the hype?
>>2720051If you're in a group you'll get a lot more xp from kills, but even then it was never the fastest method, only the easiest. BRP or Skyreach are much more efficient, but less popular than the loop since they take more effort to set up and most of the playerbase doesn't want to socialize or pay for a carry.
>>2719309This roadmap for season one was published two days after the layoffs.
>>2721290Not that one, the long term one with multiple seasons and refresh schedules. S1 is already in the polishing stages and probably won't be affected much, S2 onwards is where things could really go to shit and piss off loads of players.
ESO might never get crossplay between consoles and PC now
>>2722403That's kinda crazy that they never tried it. Might have gotten a huge amount of people
>>2722486They were (are?) working on it at the usual glacial pace, it wasn't going to be ready by next year even before the layoffs.
BBC has published an article on xbox layoffs and things are not looking good for ESO judging by what one of the remaining ZOS devs said. Maintenance mode in near future is pretty much inevitable.
>>2723548I'm not optimistic and the layoffs seem more about union busting and salary trimming than performance, but I also don't think we should take the bitchposting from zos devs at face value. Read between the lines of Finnigan's bluesky post and its basically a confirmation they'd become a cliquey daycare that spent too much time fucking around and couldn't hold bad devs to account or take community criticism. This shit is why it took *nine months* for a studio with HUNDREDS of people to give mounts swimming animations.We saw a sharp improvement when MS killed Blackbird and caused/forced a change in the stagnant leadership roles, but the rot went beyond those few people at the top. This could be the spanking the manchildren needed to focus on their actual job instead of... chicken streams.
Funny how I have been a big Elder Scrolls fan since Morrowind and Oblivion but I never played TESO because I was busy playing WoW and FF14, now that I'm bored with those two games I finally started playing TESO (2 weeks ago) and all this bullshit happens. Guess I'll enjoy it while it lasts
>>2723904why are you playing ff14
>>2723904Even if Zenimax stopped making new content, this game already has 12 years of it.I started playing during blackwood and did everything in chronological order. Took me 1 year and half to get to the newest stuff (High Isle) at the time.
>>2723827They had way too many employees for a game like this. Fat needed trimming for sure
>>2724485It would be good if they did 400 people's worth of work instead of like, 40. They could have finished all the refreshes within the year and done a proper expansion in 27. Trimming the fat won't help if it turns out the entire company is fat, or if they can't hire new muscle to replace it.
>>2724669I'm sure someone in management tried but if they arent putting out the work in expected time the only thing you can do is cut. People will entrench and back each other up so it's impossible to know who's at fault
Whatever comes next can't be worse than Gold road and Ithelia
Dynamic events are such a snoozefest
Any mods that let me rawdog ayren?
>>2724979>Winterhold is about discovering the real magic is self-love>villains are Jyggalag cultists serving as a thinly veiled reference to the eeeevil art hating bosses>their leader also hates queers for going against the natural order because of course he does>Tanlorin is your mandatory sidekick for the entire zone>Shalidor is revealed to be a trans man>zos uses half the year's $350 budget hiring Elliot Paige to voice him>Jyggalag has a single line: "I HATE CHEESE"
>the waiter scrolls online>need to do group content to get gear>wait in queue>want to do dynamic events while waiting>wait on the beach>decide to join a guild to socialize and hopefully scrape together a group to avoid the wait>wait in application purgatory with no way to know if the officers of the guild I applied to are awol>want to do certain world bosses/incursions>wait for somebody to pass by>play pvp>wait trapped in spawn for the match to end>want some new content>wait for 6+ months for 4 quests
>>2725255maybe when the novelty of it wears down and less people engage with it, these events will become more challenging
>>2725960the only challenging part will be staying awake waiting for it to start
>>2725966dynamic events happen every 30 minutesyou're not supposed to wait for them to start
>>2723548I think the layoffs are a good thing. They're back to the summerset/wrothgar numbers. The thing that never made any sense to me is how you have so many people, and the best you could come up with is a season pass. More people means more/better content. (Which didn't happen)The new CEO is putting belt to ass. Todd getting Fallout ripped from his lying baby hands is the best news I've heard in years. Dudes were just sitting on their asses doing fuck all for like 14 years. I'm optimistic that this will lead to something better.
>>2726088Problem is they made them exclusive to specific spots in ancient zones that most players have no other reason to be in, you can't see it from outside the zone, and they end so quickly that if you do anything more engaging that survey farming you're likely to miss it. If you're not supposed to wait, why is it designed to punish anything else? In other news, looks like the composer/audio director was fired too.
>>2726088How are you supposed to know when the last one started? It's not at a regular time each hour, and it's impossible to know what time the zone instance spun up. So the only solution is to wait around.Inb4>Just ask peopleWho is just sitting around in the same zone afterwards? And what happens when it dies off and nobody was actually there for the previous one?
It's so over
It's eso over
