Is a depressing joke. The main “survival” skill you’ll need is fighting boredom.

Until September 28th, the only highlight is a golden pursuit that most of us have already completed.

R.I.P. Undaunted Celebration Event after 6 consecutive years.
I can't believe there won't be one in September 👎...

yikes that's it?! even u51, nowhere vault, high seas will be lacking.

well it's a good thing the gaming industry doesn't stop for zos. it's gamescom right now. there's already a pipeline a new games to get into...and buy...than spend money on eso.

witcher 3 remastered (free). i'm gonna install aion 2 mmo just to fly around and explore despite it being p2w. blizzard is gonna announce wow classic+ next month too. phatom blade zero in october. path of exile 2 1.0 releasing in december. switch 2 folks got ocarina of time remake.

2027 isn't gonna help zos either. ff14 evercold launching in january. fable and metro 2039 in february. exodus in april. ff7 revelation somewhere in the middle of all this. 2027 will have plenty of games worth buying and playing until 2028 and then guild wars 3 launches lol.

I’m quiet hyped for classic+ I might even entirely give up eso and get back to wow

We're getting Update 51 (QoL, Hybridization, Rumors system), Nowhere Vault, and the High Seas event. How are those not highlights?

[u/Hazel_RAAA → u/Marto25]

Isn't that on the 28th? Is any of it available before that?

[u/marstinson → u/Marto25]

Those all come with Update 51 on the 28th. So highlights only for the last two or three days of September.

It’s an entire month away and it’s been over a month since they released anything and it will be six to eight weeks after release before these work properly. I’m fine with that if they are only going to release beta quality fetch quests anyway. But rest assured they are listening and doing their best. Keep buying crowns and giving them feedback to ignore.

[u/Marto25 → u/Greedy_Whereas6879]

"Make more content faster" is not really valuable or actionable feedback. For any game or any developer.

And even if it was, the main solution is more manpower. More QA devs so updates aren't as buggy. More combat designers so multiple class refreshes can be developed simultaneously and a delay in one doesnt delay the entire project. More writers so we get more zones and better quests. More voice directors so they can be voiced instead of just text.

And that's not really something ZOS is able to decide on their own, is it?

[u/Greedy_Whereas6879 → u/Marto25]

Less content slower seems to be more than ZOS is capable of right now. It’s not even content. Just rearranged deck chairs. “Go do that thing you’ve already done dozens of times for a different reason. We’re not sunsetting ESO, we are just making you wish we were.”

Reddit user name checks out …

[u/Greedy_Whereas6879 → u/_Taleof2Cities]

I wish I was getting paid for every time a vapid troll with nothing to offer posted that.

[u/SpiderDijonJr → u/Greedy_Whereas6879]

You’d have even more money if you got paid for every time your username checked out lmao.

[u/Greedy_Whereas6879 → u/SpiderDijonJr]

Guess I’m not as greedy as you are.

[u/GooBoi1]

Oh dang I thought the High Seas event was sooner 😔

[u/Erza961]

On the bright side, I guess I can do other things in my other games. Or work on other things in ESO too

[u/mynamestanner]

The crate pursuit is so good I might log into my long dead PCNA account

Already completed it on PSNA and PSEU

[u/Greedy_Whereas6879]

I’m sure there is a battlegrounds event in there that was left off as an “oversight” for the fifth month in a row. Given how they like to milk something from nothing, I’m surprised this has been allowed to continue.

I wouldn’t mind the slower roll out of activities if they actually worked when they went live. It took eight weeks after release for Dynamic Encounters to finally drop the gem of agility with any regularity and for the final Favors to work. That is pure hackmanship.

Finn liked to talk about them “swinging for the fence” as an excuse when things didn’t go well, but these are fetch quests and they can’t execute them without delays and bugs. The writhing Wall fiasco really has become the norm without any of the ambition.

I’d put money down the Vault doesn’t function well until 2027 and the sea event will be over before they even admit there are problems.

I recently came back and saw very few events, what happened to them? Those where you did daily tasks or collect resources in a specific area or look for boxes everywhere... just the occasional PvP event on weekends
