The Elder Scrolls Online is a great MMO released in 2014. How is this game doing a decade later and with the launch of the new Gold Road Chapter? This review will be completed from the standpoint of a 10 year veteran whom main focus is PvP and has seen the mmorpg progress over the course of a decade. Please also enjoy the outnumbered PvP in the background footage as we discuss the world of Tamriel and this long standing game from Zenimax Online Studios and Bethesda.

Loved this completely honest upfront review about the game. I came back with a few friends after being burnt out on all of WoW's many splintered versions after being gone for 5+ years and oh WOW the content and insanely awesome changes to the game! I mean the housing, new skills, new quests .. just amazing. When my friends asked me to go back to WoW for The War Within I was like.. nope.. sorry,.. ESO is too much fun now!

On a more relevant note, ESO is definitely worth playing if you get the latest chapter, scribing has been a super fun system to mess with and the chapters overland content has been really fun (even for a pvper such as myself). The latest world bosses and world events also seem to be a good mix of difficulty currently (not as harsh as previous chapters were like grey more, but not exactly walk in the park easy either). Is scribing p2w? Definitely not, the buffs are definitely a strong aspect of the system, but the skills themselves fall flat, being far enough behind existing skills to not be worth it outside of specific combinations for specific classes. Definitely agree that if the chapter included a new BG map or PvP content, it woulda been 10/10. It has been one of their best chapters in recent years.

I go through phases. I started ESO in 2016 just before the Thieves Guild DLC if memory serves. Currently, I'm on a new character and really enjoying going through the old zones and experiencing things again. However, I have found the newer zones to be disappointing and repetitive story and activity wise. Morrowind and Orsinium are the two best stories for questers, but since Western Skyrim they have been bland and quite predictable. I think new players might find ESO to be overwhelming, but if you find a nice starter guild there are a lot of helpful players that can give you tips, help with crafting, etc.

After upgrading my PC I tried out Doom Eternal and Cyberpunk 2077. So if this PvP update won't provide something really good, I will eventually drop it. I started playing at 32 patch may be or a little bit earlier. Started with a templar. And I don't even truly remember it being as broken, as sorks are nowadays. May be I was still a beginner templar that time, or may be ZOS completely ruined class balance. So templar now is just a tiny bit ahead of necro. It is so frustrating... To resume it, I will say that after all the disappointment I got from it, not pretty sure that I will log in and play. Log in for daily reward and log out the same minute. Untill they will fix necro and templar. Or if my friends need help in PvP. May be.

@@Nyce-Gaming spammable is not the problem. Power of the Light is the problem. And Burning Light passive is the problem. Power of the Light tickles nowadays. You simply cannot do enough damage to fill it and if you do somehow, it isn't enough still to be considered burst damage. And it is predictable, when you are going to attack. Burning light stacks too slowly and also is gutted. Cristal frags and curse do much more damage and you don't have to do anything. Just cast them... I know that you know all this without me. Just wanted to speak about that. Necro is not in a good spot, but at least there are some changes constantly, so ZOS seem to do something. But with templar they are completely silent.

When a game is called pay-to-win, most people think of something very different than having to buy an expansion once per year to have the cool new stuff. IMO we are watering down the definition of pay-to-win too much, if we include that. A game being labeled pay-to-win used to be a warning that it is not worth your time, unless you are willing to compete with other people's wallets.

@Nyce-Gaming 23 күн бұрын

Fair. There’s different levels of pay to win and many have different definitions. Personally I don’t feel esoteric I’d pay to win, but to imply owning the gold road chapter doesn’t make your character better or content easier… I think I laid it out well in the video, but I’ll say it’s not uncommon for MMOs to paywall content. Scribing in terms of eso was the biggest character advancement we’ve seen perhaps behind a chapter paywall. Had a good talk with Nefas in the subject. Even things like transmuting your arcane jewelry to bloodthirsty being paywalled definitely have characters an advantage

Casual soloer here. ESO will do for now (ESO+ subscriber) but I'm definitely checking Throne and Liberty and New World to see if they are a better fit for me. No central auction house and the inability of soloers to sell there make the game artificially cumbersome to me. I've never seen an auction system so hell bent on being disjointed and keeping soloers poor. I find killing 1,000 bats less of a grind than having to go from auction to auction looking for decently priced items. As I said, okay for now but I'm looking to move on. I rate it a 6 out of 10.
