The Elder Scrolls universe has long been one that I keep going back to when it comes to the single player games.
Today though, im checking out how Tamriel looks when its an MMORPG with many other players in the game.
This is my first look into Elder Scrolls Online!

Hi all dont invest into eso lot of time - Trials r broken and laggy - pvp is even worse (most of day unplayable) thats why i left game 2 months back. Simply endgame is broken. Every dlc release Zos make game breaking bugs (after last update it was Blocking bug, zos said that fix will be after 3 weeks) There r bugs for years (streak bug more than 2 years) .... but when u cassual player game is nice, during prime time skills r not even fire or fire with big delay (u cant even dodge or block) .... zos is talking to community in rly bad way, many years of lie, in case u want they repair what u payed for they just block u or delete post / there was stream and pvp was rly broken, so ppl were asking when they repair that and were banned only for using "PVP"/. Dev team is just incompetent, and leader of team Rich Lambert is someone who doest give u any respect (mean community) and blaming players for not enjoying broken game.
@@gimmezeon3065 exactly this!
For new players there's a few things that you really want to do and really great tips.
1st: when you get to level 10 go to your alliance war tab and do a missions in Cryodiil or do some PVP to level up your alliance skill line to level 3 and then use a sky shard to unlock Continuous Attack. This will give you 33% more mount speed. This is one of the best things to do and it's really simple when you 1st start off or are starting off a new toon. You might not think it'll make a difference but you will notice it right away. New mounts are REALLY slow!
2nd: don't waste your gold in game buying anything from stores at 1st. Use it to upgrade your carrying bag and bank.
3rd: Don't really worry about weapons/armor until you're at least CP160. That's max armor level for right now. My suggestion would be to just use any armor you pick up off the ground or loot until you get to CP160 and then worry more about your build. I'd go further to say anything with a "Training" trait would be best until you get to cp160 as it helps with XP.
4th: anything that you can research at crafting tables(armor, weapons, jewelry, etc.) do it right away and early. It will help with you being able to craft set armor later. and anything that you can't, deconstruct more than just sell. Yes gold in the game is REALLY good, but so is having materials.
5th: I strongly suggest if you 're REALLY into the game to actually have ESO plus. Yes it's $15 a month but it's extremely useful to have and you get your moneys worth out of it every month just in the crowns you get from it, which is 1500 crowns. Those alone cost $15. You also get an unlimited crafting bag that holds all your materials and doesn't take up space in your normal carry bag. Plus you get all the DLCs(newer DLC's are not included like High Isle).
6th: Addons- There are a lot of addons for PC, sorry console players, that are EXTREMELY useful. Ranging from map pins to find sky shards to locations on maps that you haven't been to yet. Or some that will organize your set items in your bag or help you with crafting.
7th: Look up Beam Me up as a guild. It's nice to be able to use it to fast travel to someone that is in a location you want to go to without having to spend gold to travel to a wayshrine.
8th: Harvest EVERYTHING you see!!!!!!!! It's helpful to have all materials!
9th: you don't have to follow meta builds, but I do suggest that when you're starting off that you look up ideas for which races pair better with certain classes. Like High elf with a sorc for DPS or like Nord with a Dragonknight for tanking. I mean more armor related for your build as far as meta builds.
Lastly, just have fun. Talk to people in the chat and make some friends. I can say that the community in this game is REALLY what keeps the majority of players staying or coming back. Most everyone is REALLY friendly and willing to help out newer players learn things. I say this because I'm still a newer player, been playing for a little over a year now and I'm still learning new things.
Thank you - I was wondering if this video was going to share any similarities with my experience... it did not. I am a complete newb at this game. And in one word - it's overwhelming. I have started several different times getting completely confused lost and then bored with the story. I guess it assumes I already know the lore. I do not... so you comment with simply life hacks!! Very much appreciate it!! I am still lost as to the story or what is going on an any one time, but no longer feel overwhelm to point of restarting or simply deleting. in my experience = 1 quest at a time, and see above hacks!! amazing! Thanks @WarFareCheck
Thank you so much for taking the time to cover this off, it’s extremely helpful…..it’s my first day on the game and it looks overwhelming at the moment……..
@@joseywales1869 you're welcome. This game is a little rough for new players and can make you want to quit. But it's fun overall and the lore in it is great. Plus there's different ways you can actually play. Whether that be PVP, Pve or roleplay in it. Be sure to reach out to the community in the game chat if you need help, there are trolls in the game but for the most part everyone in the game is REALLY helpful. You can even reach out to me, same @ name no numbers and I'll try to help. Biggest thing to remember, this is like a 14 year old game that keeps growing. I've only played for a little over a year and I still learn new things every time I log in. Have fun and enjoy!
@@WarFareCheck thanks bud, really appreciate the kind offer and words of guidance…..you stay well and ride easy pilgrim
just picked the game up downloading now
I absolutely adore this game! Just playing quests not trying to build a specific type of build! Just adventuring around it’s incredibly addictive
I recommend the multiplayer mod of the single player version.

Exactly this is what got me back to this game after not playing straight for 6 years.
Yeah, when I wasn't maining any game I put around 200 hours into ESO. Never got to max level or anything but I had a lot of fun with the story lines in each zone.
ESO felt like a nice mixture between a single player RPG and MMO. I never got into doing anything with other players but I liked the overarching story and the story lines in each zones had a lot of in game implications to them.
I've been enjoying wow again but I might go back and finish leveling in ESO. I didn't love the combat system but it was good overall, I liked that it wasn't tab targeting.
The dungeon you queued for at 8:30 is called Fungal Grotto 1. It’s the easiest dungeon to clear. The players speed running were either doing their daily dungeon quest or farming of some sort. If you are new, enjoy travelling the world. Enjoy the lore. Join some large guilds and ask for help… wait for that one terrifying thunder clap when it rains…
Yea Fungal Grotto really is for Daily Random dungeon or Undaunted Quests. I can solo the dungeon very easily and quickly on Norm and vet mode.
I first tried ESO during the WoW exodus last year (when everybody else went to FFXIV I went to ESO) and I was blown away that everything was voice acted. I couldn't get over how every. single. line. in the game is voiced, from the main quests, to side quests, to completely random NPCs you might never even speak to cause they're just fluff. And they have it in several other languages too (french, russian, german), it's crazy to wrap your head around. It truly has spoiled me and I get upset when I log into WoW and the NPCs throw a wall of text at me to read. Blizzard has no excuse to not voice act their whole game when a much smaller MMO does it and in several languages to boot. It should be the standard nowadays.
Yeah, and even if they don't have the budget a lot of other MMORPGs have the decency to dub at least the first lines of dialogue to hook you into reading it. There's no excuse.
@@catch82 Yes, but smaller budgeted MMO have some dubs for the beginning lines of important quests.
If only they put the budget on the stiff combat system and update the graphics. And have the option to speed up the dialogue since you can’t move freely during conversations like in Skyrim.
@@Pharaoh_The_Great Don't know what you're talking about, you can click through the dialogue if you don't care what they're saying or just skim it yourself quickly. You don't have to wait for the NPC to narrate the whole thing for you if you're in a hurry.
I think Blizzard understands that 75% of the players just read the one sentence summary and blindly follow the markers and voice acting would be a waste of time and money.
Just started installing this game today , thanks for the review
Hope you enjoy it!
A lot of people that dip their toe into this game think the combat is simple and the game is easy because they don’t realize the overworld and normal dungeons are designed to be absurdly easy for roleplayers. The disparity in content difficulty and player skill at endgame is massive. At least, back when I played, you could pug randoms for Maw of Lorkhaj and roll through easy, but Veteran Maw of Lorkhaj with Rakkhat on hardmode was a guildbreaker. It was like Deadmines vs Naxx. And beyond that, two guys with the same gear could do 10k dps or 35k depending on how well they knew their rotation and mastered light attack weaves, and class choice matters a lot.
Light attack weaving ultimately pushed me out of the game after about 100 hours. Not a big fan of animation canceling shenanigans.
@@Assywalker LA weaving got nerfed really hard and has become negligible. Not sure if you still care, but it definitely brought me back to the game.
@@JetHammer nice top know, thx mate
Light attack weaving is still something you want to do, _especially_ for endgame content. Still one of the main ways that you proc enchants, still one of the main ways that you generate ultimate, and it still offers a not-insignificant amount of damage (albeit less than before). Overland it's fine to not light attack weave in (always has been fine), but endgame content you still want to be light attack weaving in.
@@jcm2606 I see. Unfortunate but whatever I guess. I'll just macro it to my mouse buttons.
I think you did a great job with an even handed review, the full disclosure of what they asked of you is always a good step. Also impressed that they did not ask favors of you.
Would love to see more of this as an ESO player rare are the things I enjoy more then watching new players learn the game
Yeah, ESO is amazing, I have been playing it for years, and I freaking love it. If anyone still havn't tried it, I highly recommend you give it a try.
I’m downloading it atm do you think you could help me get started?
@@hwangraphy5 Just pick a zone and start questing, the leveling before endgame is best enjoyed solo :) If you have the subscription go to the newer zones for the prettier environments.
Amen ! , I have been playing for three years and no matter how deep i get into the game there is always more in front of me to discover...ESO is the home and refuge of the old school mmo lover... A major win for the game is at a very low level u can participate in the major content , the game simply scales . HINT - there is no reason to grind xp to reach end level and players doing that content. Housing ! = The true end game :)
Don't think the game is in a good place, from ignoring player feedback for a long time now, to game malfunctions such as basic combat functions. PvP and Alliance war being neglected with noticeable delays and bad gameplay fluidity. Also store has been pushed in your face more and more, clearly showing where the priority of the devs are. Game is fun, but definitely not heading in a direction where it will be fun for much longer.
I got 40 euro gift card, what did/ other stuff Should I buy ?
It's nice to see the occasional non WoW video on your channel. I do enjoy them whenever you do them.
What I like most about this game is the expansions are optional, in true Elder Scrolls fashion you can play them in any order or none at all and still take part in end game pve/pvp. Unlike World of Warcraft there is no power creep, you can get to level 80 and power level through the champion system and upgrade the base armor sets without having to pay for any additional content. Morrowind also comes free with the base game so that's 1 expansion you don't have to pay for.
I just wished they'd allowed us to turn off dlc quest starters. I want to experience the story as it was released and play everything chronologically but everytime I do it I get lost with so many quest NPCs runing to me delivering me quests for DLCs. Plus it breaks imersion when NPCs that should be dead early on chronologically appear before me giving me quests for future dlcs..
so what do u miss by not buying xpansions? just story?
@@Enlazador9 acess to the DLC maps, and the content within it.
@@Enlazador9 Content, new features, best gear
@@Enlazador9basically all useful gear at the time
there's a lot to learn brother. Took me years of learning to get to my level of skill on the game but you definitely will feel more powerful as you level up and start getting either crafted gear sets or overland sets. Seeing the 5 piece bonuses light up are really gratifying
this is probably the best way to keep your channel healthy, and we like all your content, not just wow videos
Great video! The beauty of ESO is that it can be enjoyed by a lot of different kind of players.
This
Casuals*
As a new player myself I say this game is pretty immersive. The graphics are pretty good, def in the top half of mmos. Theres a BUNCH of content, sometimes I feel like its too much. The combat is pretty mid, def not my style I just like good ol tab targeting. Maybe if it felt weightier it'd be better its just too floaty. My biggest gripe is the lack of detailed tutorials, as someone who came into the game very late there is a lot of systems and basically 10 years of content im trying to figure out. I still don't know what scrying is and I've found a bunch of those antiques lol but I dont worry about that as much as just exploring the world and questing. I'm still looking for a guild if anyone wants to let a noob sign up lol 😆
This has been pretty much my go to MMO as of lately. I abandoned wow after the abysmal shadowlands trash and being burned by the last excretions, FF XIV is an amazing mmo but isn't really what i've been in the mood for. The fact ESO is solo play friendly in a ton of aspects and it taking place in the Elder Scrolls setting is really what scratched that itch.
You rock Willie, been one of your first 20k subs brotha, I value your opinion and having a 3 yr old I don't have the time to play WOW like I'd want too so I'm looking for suggestions! Friends are talking about that Conan game? I have a PS4 and obviously a gaming PC . Any suggestions!!! But you should definitely make more videos like this and that other game I swear u did a video on that amazon made!!!
You rock though man
Ech, smallest possible gnome in wow, highest possible elf in eso. 👏
Good video! I really like eso, awesome voice actors, and great lore, way better than wow. Overall I see myself playing both
I love ESO, its a great relaxing game that i can jump in and out of at any time, months go by and ill jump back in. I just wish they would make it VR. Ive tried Vorpx but its not perfect.
Thank you for this nice small video abt this awesome game !
I discovered you through Asmon.
The Algorithm gave me this video.
I subbed because of your quality conversation about the game.
Still to learn padawan, lots there is.
Enjoy the journey
love the game - easy to run through solo or jump into dungeons and raids with pugs. i’ve kept coming back time and again. always find a new quest.
I replayed Skyrim multiple times so now I will give this game a go 😁
First elder scrolls game I played was skyrim. Fell in love with the world. Always wondered what was beyond the boundaries of skyrim. Found it in eso.
I love the combat system. In pvp being able to dodge and block is super fun. I played eso for years. What drove me away from the game was server performance. I was pvp Andy and not being able to play the game with more than 5 people in the area drove me crazy. Especially when the meta was zerging around in a 25 man group.
Are you PCEU? I think I remember you from a few years back if you were actual 'pvpandy'
The meta is still 25 man zergs and you can't even duel in stonefalls at 4am in a dead instance without experiencing prime time level lag, idk how long ago you quit but it's still the same shit show lmao
It was a great play for me. Very Skyrim style yet the online grouping is easy. Really fun if you have the time.
I love ESO a lot. I mostly play solo doing quest and zone content, it's like playing Skyrim but on a larger scale. I'm in a quin of really organized guilds too so I can do end game content like hard mode dungeons or Trials aka raids whenever I want to. Its the only game on my Steam account to ever have over 1k hours played lol
It is worth mentioning that ESO offers 'free events' a couple times a year. These events have always allowed players access to the base game, which includes the four original classes, and the first few zones of the game. Usually they are around March or April and another around August, and usually coincide with in game announcements and such.
I received no tickets in the most recent event, I attended every day for 12 days and EVERYTIME FOR 12 DAYS THE BOSS WAS BROKEN. I submitted a ticket and if course received no recompension, just the typical f-u from zos customer service in the form of a non sequitur form letter.
@@darthmercur3067 how did you did that when the Event just dropped yesterday lmao.
@@OhSo_Bear lmao stupid, not the new life festival which started 2 days AFTER my post, the last event from a few weeks ago...stupid. LMAO
@@darthmercur3067 just matching your opinion, little one.
@@OhSo_Bear r u retarded, again u make no sense. By the way little bitch I could woop your daddy's ass....you are clearly a 12 year old who you can't read and has no attention to detail.
So retard, you'd didn't know thier are events every few weeks on eso....dumbass why then did you comment suggesting the opposite???
Go ahead comment to try to save face making yourself look even worse...pathetic incel.
I like ESO especially the raiding part , rare style page farming, achievemement hunting and overwhelming character customization also i do some PvP. and new zones are always thing to experience because of the overflow of other players and meeting new players during those events. i just dont like how most of the mounts are behind a paywall there are 3 very cool mounts that can be gained trough the hardest trial achievements but you can also earn some cool mounts for completeing enough "Daily endeavours" and gaining enough endeavour points to exchange those to some cool cosmetic like mounts.
i have 100 hrs in this game. i play mainly WoW but heres my thoughts:
1. Most advanced and best questing in any MMO period. I don't want to listen to music because I always want to hear the dialogue and its so engaging
2. Questing is the endgame too, which is honestly so great.
3. Combat is kinda meh. healing is kinda weird where your spells autoheal the lowest target. Tanking is actually somewhat interesting but doesnt let you DPS as much unlike in WoW. DPSing has some depth but that comes in with gear sets
4. PVP is shit. its either i suck or its not really pleasant unless u know what ur doing
5. Gearing progression is super great. Once you had collected an item once, you can craft it for other toons as catchup. Also, for your main, you can craft the same item with really specific stats that suits your build.
6. Professions play a huge role in the game and all of em are relevant. If you're a clothwearer, I think you still want to level blacksmithing because you might need a melee weapon for endgame builds. Basically, gives you an incentive to progress all professions.
TLDR: Great game I'd recommend this to anyone. Buy base game for a feel. which is a guarnateed 200+ hrs of gameplay right there. then buy ESO+ if you're invested. Then buy the latest expansions (similar to WoW) if you care about the new raids (basically considered the hardest content when an xpac drops), new tier gear, features and Quality of Life stuff.
I hadn't found a resaon to buy High Isles because I wanted to explore all the questlines first as a High Elf.
let me know what u guys think!!
This game can be immersive, and the story is pretty good but god I hate the combat in ESO so so much, it just feels awful. Craft bag being part of sub makes it nearly mandatory if you want to keep even a slight bit of your sanity.
I feel you, for a wow player the combat mechanics are cancer. With the bank space and all I just invested a lot of gold into it and gave up crafting at one point, I am vendoring everything :D Other players can craft you whatever you need if you give them mats anyway.
eso combat is so bad, and it’s a shame - the world itself is something i’ve always loved.
Yeah, the combat is the sole reason I can’t play this game. Just zero skill and all spam
Picked this game up between Legion and BFA to have something to play on the side, and when I got bored of a WoW patch I'd go back to it. That changed in Shadowlands when I quit WoW and mained ESO. Incredible game really, just wish the devs were a bit more receptive especially on the PvP side of things.
I highly recommend picking this game up for some casual fun or if you're looking for a new MMO and really try learning combat mechanics. I know some people won't like it on first impression, but once it clicks it allows for a huuuuge expression of skill to get infinitely better at the game and always see better and better results. You don't just pick up a class and do your class's rotation, that rotation will infinitely change depending on your character setup and it's up to you to learn your priorities in group or solo content.
Over 6000 hours in this game since beta in 2014. Amazing game pve and pvp content is amazing
Are you playing it's pvp on youtube or something? pvp in this game is basically dead for years now
@@SergeiSugaroverdoseShuykov maybe in the eu server. Pc na is jam packed
I love the Elder Scrolls universe. In a new player perspective, I prefer GW2's approach to map side quests, where you no longer need to find the NPC to start/finish the quest. (Though plus points to ESO for having immersive, fully dialogued NPCs). Job classes still felt limited to my playstyle as I prefer having more (7 at least) classes, plus sub-class, etc. Should they decide to add an Illusion/Alteration Class, I might go back to playing.
I moved to ESO after i left WoW, and im really enjoying it. Its a game i play pretty solidly for a month or two, and ill subscribe for those months, then when i burn out i unsub. After WoW, the class design of ESO is what keeps me intrigued, finding a new armor set combos to revamp how i play my class or if i want to even change my whole role. Glad you had a good time WillE.
ESO to me is a fantastic game. I enjoy dipping in and out of it, but when I have plenty of free time I will usually by a 1 month sub because it really does make the game so much bigger and ultimately more enjoyable as you are not hitting walls, and for such a low sub price it certainly knocks the sock off than game which shall not be named.
Can you let Me in on how to find or aquire "bast" for crafting? I need 20 of them and I have had a few but can't seem to find any ATM.
I played it for some time and I have to say, it definitely gives you a great Elder Scrolls experience. What bothered me though is that you'd have to pay quite a lot of money to get all the DLC and expansion/chapter content. Sometimes it got a little confusing, regarding what you need and what not. Perhaps it's the best to use ESO+ for this. While ESO may not be my favorite MMO, it's definitely one that's worth getting back to, at least imo :)
i think my favorite aspect of this game IS that its a single player friendly mmo. i love that if i see someone, its an actual person doing stuff, and the world is not empty. this is unfixable in any other elder scrolls game. i just wish we had ONE more ability slot 😮💨
What race is best for a magic user? And what race for a Ranger type?
As a lvl 1800cp I will say combat in pvp has a whole lot of depth and its one of those where either your farming or being farmed. Players at a high level can have a 10 min anime duel with being able to 1 to 0 in one combo but between all the rolling, blocks, backstep and cheeky builds you can survive hits if you know what you're doing. Pvp is the game
Ive played ESO since it came out but I havent hopped on in about 5 years😭I wanna get back into it buh I had so much on my other account that I dont even wanna restart💔
ESO was top tier when it was dropped. Idk how it is now but one my favorite games
I tried to get into that game three times, but each time it felt like an extremely shallow and plastic version of the Elder Scrolls games. Something about it lacked feeling and exploring the world felt flat. When I played it, as a starting character I was just two-three shotting everything while taking almost no damage. Was not engaged at all. Oh and you can't even swim underwater.
Same, I even tried it with friends and it didnt help
The veteran player base has been screaming for years to make the overland content more engaging. We are met wish pushback every time from the casual player base claiming they will quit on the spot if it gets and harder. It’s def our biggest problem. However, I challenge you to veteran solo arenas, I promise you won’t make it out alive for multiple weeks until you learn every single attack and dodge mechanic.
Try Dungeons. Let me know how that 2-3 shot works for you.
@@STR8L8CED "I have a problem with this content" "just do other content that doesn't have that problem" overland is the majority of the game and the introduction for new players. That's not constructive.
@@sandoh World Bosses are overland. You could try 2-3 shotting that as well.
I've been playing since beta. I had no interest in PVP. Now it's mostly all I do, Cyrodil is insanely fun. It's a huge map with constant battles where you're trying to take over a castle or trying to defend one but it's 3 factions battling rather than 2. A lot of strategy comes into play and it's confusing at first but you get it over time if you can get into a group and follow the leader.
Played from 2016- 2019 it's going down hill devs arent listening to the community and keep adding more things to shop and upping the prices. And content is been crap. Why I stopped playing.
It's on sale in the PSN as of today [12/22/2022] for their year end sale.
8:55 You can let the creature trapped in that cage in Fungal Grotto out... He ~won't~ attack you or anything... 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great game! To me this was the WoW-killer (though I do dabble in that to see what’s going on every other year or so). I like the class system. As you mentioned you can go sorcerer which would be your stereotypical mage, but you can tank and tank as good as anything. Or you can go nightblade (“rogue”) and be a life draining, DPSing warlock. There’s hundreds of hours of solo content, the crafting is good and housekeeping is fun, to make your own lil’ place in the world. The subscription model is fair, as are most(!) of the micro transactions. There’s a lot of “gem” stuff that some higher up Brian-lookalike came up with that trashies the game down a bit, but you can ignore it. There also hasn’t been a new class/race for many years, just some sighable mini games. Apparently there’s some issue with adding this to older gen-consoles so they should probably just let them go by now. Things like that makes the game a bit un-fresh for those of us who’s been around since release.
I am a new player to Elder scrolls online i finished oblivion and played a bit of skyrim its a great game its smooth and the world is big
I have a good few hours in this game + a max level character and, despite some positives, is just not a game that I care much for. The recent expansions have seemed extremely uninspired and overpriced, no new class in quite some time, PvP is the weirdest shit in the world, you get pigeonholed into having to do very specific builds, the skill system feels stale and the same as it did in 2014 pretty much.
But, story can be good. Running around the world and finding quests as you go can feel immersive. Some classes and weapons are definitely pretty fun to play. But if you are a WoW player looking for something else, this probably won't be more than a passing interest. I hit cap, finished the main story, tried a little endgame stuff, and felt like I was all set.
The major problem existing for beginners on ESO is that they see they do damage or they tank etc, but they never are told that endgame healing tanking and mostly damage dealing is way more deep than what you are told by the quests and tutorials
I just got into this game myself even though I bought it in 2016 . I made a dark elf sorcerer also great class and great game also after just spending 2 months in skyrim and fallout 4 another 2 plus months before that lol
Spot on first impression game is very newb friendly and has challenging content also.
ye but for veteran players too easy - i remember first year was so challenging - now mental ill cat can play this
what's a good class to use now and days
Is it difficult to have fun in this game if you don´t have a fix group of friends that you play with? I have never really played MMOs, but I would really love to. The problem is that no of my friends play games like this.
I'm new to the elder scrolls it's just downloading on game pass wahooo excited
i love eso its massive world i love to gather quest i love the guild im in nice helpful people ect great game ive played since closed beta they have my sub
Oh no. WillE is intruding on Josh's turf D:
It‘s also on Gamepass if you wanna try out the full base game for very cheap if that‘s your thing!
Actually, ESO is pretty regularly on sale for like 5-6$ or less. Usually those offers also include up to the second to last expansion so you only need to buy into the most recent expansion. Note though that DLCs are not included in this offers. You though can obtain all DLCs by simply joining ESO+ membership for 10-13$/month, depending on the length you chose. Whether that makes sense to you or not, everyone should decide for themselves though.
very chill mmo tbh i love getting baked as shit an playing quests
It’s fun at first gets old fast I had a fucking blast with my friends though, but all the classes feel the exact same sadly because they can all use staffs shield etc
And they have like “guilds/factions” and they have some of the best abilities so you’ll be using the same abilities on different classes
The questing though is really really nice good stories (for the most part) and I like that they’re all voice acted
I like eso for its consoke-like minimalist ui
It's great that ESO can give new players a good experience. And as you said, I'm one of the player's that has experienced much of the game, played since 2015. However...
ZOS, the game developer, has been perfecting the experience for new players over the years, and excluding content for that mid and end game player. It would seem that most of the community that plays this game stay for their investment and hope that ZOS will reward us with our loyalty and time played. To put it nicely, ZOS does not focus on players that invest time into thier game.
Looking for an MMO to play an hour a week before finding yourself in this excluded group, play this game. Look up content creators like Nefas for PVE and Itherenoelse for PVP.
Still, a great video. Cheers.
fuck U35 all my ESO guldies hate U35 we were so close to Planesbreaker :((((
After playing ESO, WOW's lack of voice acting is sad. Blizzard should voice act every NPC, Mob, and random open world NPC's.
I like ESO but can’t play it as there isn’t Oceania servers which feels like it gatekeeps a lot of the content when having to play on that USA servers.
Idc what anybody says I love playing this game
Put alot of hours into eso. It's a fantastic casual game which I love. The problem is it's combat, the combat is poor when you're at endgame needing numbers for raids. It's sadly the same across all classes. One bar to maintain skills, one bar to spam an ability with a bunch of passives. This paired with everyone uses a staff of sorts just makes everything too samey.
so, its more interesting then wow system anyway imho
@@ThellUndeadll Uhm are you serious?
This is not at all how endgame dps works tho. Not trying to be rude but as a raider it literally doesnt work like this. Atm actually no one uses a staff except for very few exceptions :S
Staff is definitely not all people use, look at a single build from at least the last 2 years and you’ll see melee except for warden
Im a redguard stamdk. Nostaff and I hit 95k dps easy
aw man love this game
are they still going to change the combat like they say 2 months ago?
they did and it sucks. one of the reason why im ready for DF.
Minor adjustments, if you ask me they have to rethink from scratch the combat systems for competitive play. You have two separate global cd s, one for normal attacks and one for spells, that you have to alternate for max dps output, while they don t even show you the global cd s on the interface like in wow, this is just cancer.
played when elswyer released. Put about 1.5k hours on it, quit after that. Downloaded back recently, cant get into it anymore xD
Might buy an xbox just to get back into this game, the only thing that ever puts me off is having to pay for the extended inventory
ya the main reason i say eso is the best mmo is simply that everything is voiced and you dont need to pay a sub
i love eso despite the cons! This game is dreamy!
IVe played since launch and will say I love the game. My only problem is that if you do not buy every dlc/chapter, you are at a disadvantage when it comes to end game PvE & PvP!!! Can you still do it, of course... But like I said, you will be at a disadvantage. Especially In PvP. Not having mythic items and certain BoP armor is the reason.
I love this game so much, but I stopped playing it for now to play wotlk. I played on ps4 and was cp 750, pvp was so much fun I had a dope guild and we could run cyradil all the time. I used to do dungeons with my friends and we would do everything we could. Such a fun game, but its hard to play it all the time. I come and go. Definitely worth subbing for. The only BS is that the mounts are basically all paid for through loot boxes which is a scam. Just dont worry about mounts
basically its just really expensive compared to like wow and stuff. That said, it is the 6th elder scrolls game that no one counts. There is so many good stories in it and if you play your cards right you can maximize your dollar. You can get hundreds of hours of game play out of the base game and I've loved all the dlc.
I recommend it 100%
Its easy to meet good people or not. You can easily play alone and get immersed into PVE. The PVP and crafting aspect is huge aswell. Its a game that wont make you feel like youre doing the same things. I think its the best one out there.
did you spend a lot of money inside the game?
@@rabbychan Not at all. I bought the game, played it for over 800 hours and didnt spent anything. Only thing that I have bought is one costume. I usually dont spend money on comsetics but the amount of content that I get for cheap.. I happily bought it. It was like 5 bucks for 3 costumes that you dont even need. I hardly even use it lmao.
@@sharper9164 Alright, 800 hours sounds like you had some fun, I have the game btw but haven't played in years.
I'm actually looking forward to play the skyrim multiplayer mod, do you know about it?
PCNA - PvP performance in Cyrodiil is back to pre hardware upgrades. Whatever they did in U36 via code or back end infrastructure changes returned it back to being super laggy, abilities don’t go off and desync for everyone. I feel bad for EU or consoles because they won’t see how good it was for half a year until ZOS changed something they won’t admit. No reason to get excited about the hardware upgrades if you’re a PvP player. It was good for about 6 months on PCNA and is back to being unplayable.
Because of the fact that I found out the other day that I got the boot from a group I was in, I’m contemplating asking mom to cancel my subscription for ESO because - I do know to NOT take it SO personally, but I am because I TOLD all of the groups I was in that I’m taking an extended break from ESO to be on Skyrim for a while and next thing I know, I log on the other day and found out I got the boot. 💔That actually hurt because when I was on regularly, I was seemingly getting along with everyone. I don’t get it. Just a head’s up - if I happen to have repeated myself just now, I apologize. Don’t have my glasses on.
you can not tap shift to sprint. you need to hold shift. and this wrecked my finger over time
It's a shame that there is no incentive for players to do the overworld group content (world bosses, volcanic vents, abyss geysers, dragons, harrowstorms, oblivion gates) once they get the "do 30 of X" achievements early on in a new zone. It is extremely difficult to find enough players for them in the "older" zones.
I keep doing them to collect valuable cosmetic armor/weapon motifs and furnishing plans.
Yeah, people folks more on the ones that drop motif styles of armor. Tho, if you ask in the zone chat, I came to find the community very supportive.
Actually, ZOS "forces" players to do that "lush" content over and over again by hiding certain mythic items behind rare excavation leads and so on. For new players it might give the impression that noone is doing those bosses when in reality most players playing this game for years already kill those bosses in a matter of minutes if not seconds solo as they killed the same bosses probably already 100 times in the past. They for sure wont look for any help with those. If you are around and join the fight, no problem. But if you look for players to join you, they are probably faster engaging the boss directly than to wait for you.
everyone usually says the same exact thing about this game
that its a really good game but its not a good MMORPG, so I don't understand why they don't change the direction and try to make it into more of an MMORPG.
I sort of had the opposite reaction. I thought that for a hardcore Elder Scrolls fan, eso wouldn't really be for them. It "messes up" a lot of ideas, worldbuilding, a design philosophies Bethesda is known for, however as an mmo it has many great mechanics and may be enjoyed easily by non-elder scrolls fans.
That being said, I started with the base game, and uh, the base game is terrible from a TES perspective. I have noticed that the dlcs may switch this around, as I gave Blackwood a chance and it felt a lot more like on of Bethesda's mainline games (or at least as close as you're gonna get).
My main game starting mid of TBC classic, playing it for story and feelz, love it immensely, shame the competitive play both pvp and pve is unplayable for a WOW veteran, but it s a lot of fun (more than wow I would say) as casual/single player/easy group content. In all other aspects, immersion, social aspects, story, far superior. Also the fact that no old zone or content becomes irrelevant once a new expansion is realeased is huge. Same for the progression systems, it s the same since ages, you do not have to relearn the game and grind every time you come back. And one more thought, the story of their last chapter High Isle is the worst they ever did, but there is tone of amazing story content to play from the past, a lot more than most of single player rpg s generally have.
The game is massive. Tons of overland base game content. Pvp is buggy but the best out there.
The game has its problems but there is nothing out there as good as ESO if you want to be engaged in combat and have a huge fun world to mess around in.
And the PvP good lord, still the best thing about ESO if after the devs have intentionally ignored it.
I just recently removed the >100GB game from my harddrive after playing it since release with an almost 2 year break in between due to constant performance issues on ZOS side (either clients were not up to par where they should be or now with their servers who can't handle even empty PvP zones in Cyrodiil well enough) . If you play ESO casually it might be fine, but once you've done all quests you figure out that the year-long expansion gives you "new" content worth of 3 days playing, if even that much. The rest is basically grinding for antiques or mythic items and so forth. ESO has so much potential, but its Devs are almost blind to it and seem to ignore most of the critique brought up by the community, especially in terms of PvP or endgame PvE.
ESO is convoluted with sets that give you the illusion of developing your character. But the honest truth is, from those >500 sets you can farm, only a handful are really worth it. While the "meta" once used to be that different sets worn by different players allow the group to actually perform better in their activities as they gain access to more buffs and so forth, the meta now seems to be that everyone should wear basically the same few sets that also don't benefit specialized gameplay but only those that have a rather balanced mix of stamina and magica based abilities. The game isn't about choices or about how you want to play but only about how good you trained your light-attack weaving/animation canceling and your skill-rotation to a perfect T. If you want to play as a sneaky ranged shooting stuff with your bow only or as a magic focused sorcerer that is to weak to lift a 2h-sword you are basically punished by the game in so many aspects. And once you adapted to the current meta, ZOS is trying to change the meta once again. Lots of people are tired, tired of the constant forced change of how they are supposed to play. ESO suffers from meta's that clearly have 2 or 3 builds that invalidate any other gameplays and thus almost all players use one of these meta-builds. ZOS simply lacks the capabilities to balance the game to a state where almost all builds perform equally good and therefore allow players to truly play how they want.
ESO is a good game, it's fun, enormous amount of well done content. It has it's issues, all games do, but there are two that are pretty bad. One is the cash shop and what they do with the loot box system, some of the coolest things in the game cost $ and the second is the performance. They have been saying for years now that they were going to work on performance, it is still an issue. Other than that it is definitely worth the purchase price imo.
call it bs but everything is perspective & all i’m saying is don’t let others people negative comments on the games future affect you’re positive outlook on the future of the game! that’s why i like Willie
I know it's not ESO, but in wow I have grown to hate the weird scaling of leveling. Crate a new toon and you obliterate level appropriate npcs, but get into the 40s+ and you really begin to notice that you've been going backwards in strength. Enemies take longer to kill, your gear matters less and your abilities seem weak. When you get to max level that's the only time to evens out and your can become more powerful because everything is scaled to the max level and not power (higher item level) above that (at least in the original expansion zones/dungeons not Mythic+ etc) I know leveling takes up a small part of modern wow, but it always felt strange going backwards in power as you level.
This game would be more enjoyable if there was solo tuning. Haven't played a quest and struggled
Diversify that portfolio!
I like your WoW videos but this ESO review was very slimzy , clearly you didn't went too far with it and I get it, Dragonflight is here and its awesome.
It took me about 50 hours back in Beta and an other 100 hours when released to decide If I would like ESO to be my 2nd MMO where I pay a sub for
I played WOW and ESO for years, alternating between the too, They are so similiar in a way and also so different when it comes to progression.
I liked both until 2020 when Shadowlands released and oh boy, my love and loyalty for Blizzard went off the window. Was the first time since 2008 when I unsubbed from WOW.
Nowdays ESO is my main MMO ( have 4 accounts with active sub) and just 2 days before Dragonflight's release I subbed back to WOW.
Dragonflight is preaty good, remainds me of good old days, leveling is awesome so is dragonriding.
But ESO for the time beeing is still my main MMO since compared to WOW, it'a s a timeless game....old content is relevant and I prefer a horizontal progression nowadays to what WOW offers, a vertical one and lots of FOMO content which ESO doesn't have. The only FOMO thing ESO has, are the cosmetics in the shop which you can ignore them.
I have 300 mods on Skyrim. Whatever I do, I can't get my mind off TES 6. I want to play it, I want a next gen Elder Scrolls game. Skyrim is an awesome game and ESO too but enough is enough.
Its a good thing you did not do the PvP. Namely Cyrodiil. That is a whole different headache.
Imagine skyrim online
Really wish I could go back in the past and be a noob again. The game was so good before I started focusing on getting good at the game. Blissfully ignorantly played my way through random content for 800 hours of just enjoying the game. Started to get better because I got bored of tanking harder content and then became a really good DPS and getting meta trial groups together for trifectas. Game took a turn after that due to realizing that the rewards for time weren't great plus the game getting worse content and seemingly ignored issues by devs. Currently at 1200 ish hours and have quit the game.
Great quests with choices, or at least the illusion of it. (We don't even have that kind of thing on other mmos) Mostly single-player friendly. Nobody gives a damn about tanks or healers outside raids or veteran hm content, >.>.
I was impressed when npc's could not get through first lever puzzle.
It’s a shame people keep saying they hate the combat, to me it’s the best part of the game. Especially in pvp, it’s fast paced with a high skill level to it.
I just got a Divorce from World of Warcraft for the 3rd time in my life, and I somewhat wonder if I would have been happier playing this.
If you are still trying it out and want a set of crafted gear with training (+experience), I can make some for free :)
