The 10 Worst Things about ESO in 2024 | Elder Scrolls Online Rant

[@MotherOfAllmonsters1]

Crown store ia a letdown and a marketing fail imo, they could make skins for prices that people want to buy but no they make like one crappy skin a patch and lock them in crates. They should let us buy old skins and polymorphs for crowns without crates

[@CasualLamer]

Yeah I'd love it this way too. But they wouldn't do it like this if it wouldn't be profitable for them

[@VITAMIN-DEATH]

Played for years.Done everything many many times over.Reached 2500 CP. At some point the repetitive nature and the lack of depth makes it a boring experience.Gave my gold and resources to friends, deleted my 10 toons and said goodbye to Tamriel.From time to time i miss it but i know if i ever got back to it, i would soon reach the same point.Nice video mate..

[@Charlie-vp5tn]

The thing I despise about this game is that every cool feature, every good set, just everything good is locked behind a paywall. I can't get even close to 100k dps, because I don't have DLC's with good sets, I can't make jewelry and upgrade it, because I don't have DLC, etc.

[@re__ng1806]

I'm just gonna say this.. how can you expect to have the newest/best gear and not have ESO+ (a subscription for an mmo) unheard of i know.. 😂. I agree with not buying the Dlc's but why not pay a small monthly fee to have all the dlc for other gear if you don't wanna fork out for each of them individually. You could even use your crowns each month and buy a dlc with them?? I just get so confused when people say stuff like that, why do people think mmo's are sprints? Zoomers probably, I rate you are no older than 20 kekw

[@MikeDementor]

​@@re__ng1806I'm doing this but the new dlcs don't apply to Eso+... You have to buy it or wait until they release something new

[@waldemarlight6149]

@@re__ng1806 ESO+ doesn't give you access to new DLCs. DLC accessable with ESO+ only a 1 YEAR after its release. Btw you can't buy new DLC in crown store too, only with real cash. DLCs become available in crown store only after it's available in ESO+. So if you trade gold for crowns, you still can't play new DLC. I wanted to buy Gold Road DLC to try the cool scribing features, but Gold Road isn't accessable in crone store

[@wysiwygcanada]

@Charlie-vp5tn many are behind a time wall. People spend time and earned rewards. Then new players show up and expect to get more for doing less than others before them.

[@TheParallelSound]

It costs 1 hours work of minimum wage to get 730 hours worth of ESO plus. I'm not sure why anyone would play the game without it. ESO plus is cheaper than a movie ticket and provides 10000X longer content than a 2 hour movie.

[@SomersetDrinker]

As a console player, I refuse to do writs (at least gold and purple) the more releases there are, the more motifs I need and I don’t have time to grind for the newest dungeon motif for one writ.

[@CasualLamer]

I get it. Without writworthy I doubt I'd do many master writs honestly

[@GeraldJSmith]

Mount training used to worse: in the original implementation, you had to train each mount individually, and you had to choose between speed, stamina, and storage; you could only have one type of upgrade on each mount. I guess they figured out that the system discouraged the purchase of new mounts '-)

[@CasualLamer]

Right I forgot about that! I only briefly played back in 2014. But wow yeah this was definitely worse :D

[@dafifelement6170]

Omg that was the dumbest s*** ... Now these new school players don't know how easy they got it

[@Cooperharley0204]

Just a stinkier pile of crap. We’ve still got a pile of crap in front of us 🤣

[@TheParallelSound]

I actually like the aspect of upgrading your stable skill lines individually on characters. It creates a sense of progression. I don't need everything handed to me the game is already easy enough.

[@uhhdriftzz4833]

That mount training is definitely annoying having to do it for every character

[@Thruthkear]

I don’t understand why all the tedious stuff like that is per character and not per account. Maybe leveling every character to 50 is ok but my mounts, wayshrines etc. is annoying.

[@CasualLamer]

If there would atleast be means to obtain riding lessons without real money (yeah yeah I know endeavours but you shouldn't use your seals for that)

[@martind.6208]

Thats Part of the System. You can only spend Money if you are in the Game. ​@@Thruthkear

[@lamebubblesflysohigh]

I would completely remove training in stables and had characters "learn" riding by riding so every new character would be equally slow. Mounts would be getting +1 stamina passively every 24 hours from the day of purchase and this would be account wide (because people can lend each other their horse and it is still same horse) and carry capacity would have been done by purchasing bags for gold. Bags would be an item slotted by character which means you would have to purchase them for every character or unequip them, put them in the bank and equip them by another character. It would be more immersive this way, the game would still have a solid gold sink but it wouldn't be too punishing for new players without a ton of gold who want to play with alts (it would be just annoying to do the bank shuffle which would be motivating altoholics to delete more gold from the game by purchasing more mount bags and thus prop-up the economy).

[@CasualLamer]

I like the thought of it. Especially the Gold Sink part. I think I'd like this system way better

[@shinobi197]

I've been playing the game since release on console and I can tell you some of the reasons why the game is the way it is. 1. Stuck in the 4th grade: Elder scroll games havent been much for choice since Morrowind IMO, if you want a game that lets you narratively make your own choices I'd play Fallout New Vegas. 2. Mount Training: The reason this exists its because of Below lvl50 Cyrodill, if you let those guys have Max speed on a zone meant for new people no one would play in them. 3.The difficulty problem: It didnt use to be like it is right now, the max health for a damage dealer used to be 9K, all the zones used to be level specific as well and people complained about it, so now overland is really easy. 4. The in combat bug: Crouch or use an invisibility potion, also at 6:54 the npc is straight up hitting you of course you cant log out. 5. Lack of mounts: Zenimax have given out alot of mounts over the years; Camels,Senches,Horses,Bears even Bugs, also the 2 new zones have mounts for 100% them. Everything else I agree 👍

[@dakota237]

Took a 6 year break, i come back and the games worse. Not surprised

[@CasualLamer]

I wouldn't say that. In this video I focus on the negatives but I still play this game religiously

[@dakota237]

@@CasualLamer To each their own. I'm finding the game overall to be worse now as compared to 6 years ago. Pvp has gotten worse in every single way, servers feel worse, guild and crown economy is worse, dungeon scaling is all over the place (new vs old dungeons), most of the monster sets are still worthless, dlc classes are significantly pushing down older ones, etc. I'm just struggling to find anything that has improved over all this time.

[@sk8legendz]

it would be cool if next years story has a zone where everything is on veteran difficulty including quest. they could make this zone an optional zone so casual players wont get soft-locked out of the main quest by difficulty.

[@dafifelement6170]

The Worse is the Mount Trainning and Crown Crates Casino. 900h but no idea. You choice Arcanist OP for World content and you say: Very Easy. You have Veteran Mode and DLC content. Go to West Skyrim to close “Dolmen”you alone, or Wrothgar for Kill the Daedra Dragon.

@@CasualLamer I'm sorry for the late answer. Mostly it's the community. Doing the dungeon- and trialachievements together,conquering the lands of PvP. At the moments at least. The Game is so huge,the interests in it keep changing. The other day i wanted to max out my main character but got distracted by other things like new dlcs or chapters. So all in all i guess i could say it's a really big game and i like to enjoy every aspect of it in it's own way.

You can always grab a drink or whatever, put something on and go fishing. Perfect roe sells. For a lot. If you get the right food and cp you'll be catching fish very quickly. Ill normally get about 100 or more fish an hour, which translates to 1 roe an hour

I'd say the mount commentary is spot on. It's most annoying to have to start over on mount speed etc... I am glad in some ways that I am a console player the economy is much better than PC 😊

[@keithbaker7097]

A few million is a lot on PS. I get by just fine with 600,000g. I can buy anything I need and make my money back with little trouble. I however am also a grand master crafter so I can always make money that way on top of just using traders

[@rkerver3]

Maybe for mount leveling if you max out after "180 days" you have the option to max out your alts mount but still have to pay the total amount in gold to level it but it is obvious why eso is set up this way... $$$

[@CasualLamer]

That would be an awesome compromise imo. But honestly I don't know who even guys riding lessons. They're super expensive in the store

[@brandonuzumaki]

That's a nice system, it would cost 45k gold per character, not super expensive, but also not so easy that a new player would max out his account in the first month or something (unless they have a veteran friend or guild to give them all the money lol), with the limit of 20 characters per account that's 900k gold to max an entire account using this system.

[@wkrick]

One of my biggest complaints... Companion gear cannot be locked.

[@leatherDarkhorse]

Companion in leveling from would be better, no like all the equipment do anything just waste space.

[@AiteraSeg]

Devs should have make the mount upgrades permanent character wide and could have allowed unlimited crafting bag space but yeah that's monetization for you.

[@CasualLamer]

I understand that they have to make a profit somewhere so I personally don't mind ESO+ because you get alot from it. But I'm with you on the mount training. You should AT LEAST start out at 20/20/20 when you've maxed it once
