Worth returning to?

Hi, I picked up the game in October/November, enjoyed a templar to 60 and a DK almost to 60. When the WoW expansion came out, I switched to that for a while.

With the changes coming(champion system), is it worth coming back to? They made a few tweaks to the champ points, so is everyone OK now with it? Or do you think we will see a bleeding population?

i just came back to eso from wow myself,nothing wrong with wow just good to have a break,im enjoying it so far the game is solid and lots of ppl around graphics are really good cranked up aswell and the weapon swap at level 15 really gives a bit of added flavour,i will say the leveling seems slow but i guess im used to wow,all in all i would defo recommend eso it is a very solid mmo imo.

sorry i should have added that im on eu server and i just logged off and still alot of peeps running around wich is good to see.

They're doing major updates, redoing lots of core stuff, I would wait til the dust settles but that's just me.

One of the best MMO's out there and it's only getting better.

Everyone is excited for the champion system and the 1.6 changes w/o exception, seriously. If it was polled on the ESO site 99% would say yes, seriously.

So yeah man welcome back.

I have a level vet6 and love the game, they have fixed all the issues that have been game breakers for me like the horrid boss camping in craglorn and many more to come. I look at zenimax as an awsome company because they have listened to everything the fans have been saying and changed this in a very timely manner. Im currently resubbing myself because these changes coming up are epic and will really add a lot of flavor to the charecter customization and that I like.

There are two reasons I created this thread:

1. The upcoming changes have me intrigued.

2. My guild in WoW made some silly changes from personal loot to DKP all because a former/long time guild leader came back to the game and wanted to make a sweeping change...when things were going fine. Now, you have over geared people passing up on loot or driving up the bidding on pieces which make it harder for undergeared people to maintain purchasing power..etc etc, just...a bad decision on guild leaders part. Really put a bad taste in my mouth and with the changes coming up in ESO I figured maybe I'll look at it again.

My only worry with ESO is endgame content. What is there to do at end game? Outside of WoW I am not a big guild person. I enjoy going through the other faction zones in ESO but there has to be something challenging for the solo player to accomplish in ESO. Not really looking for trials. I do wish the Group Finder in ESO actually worked.

There isn't a lot of challenging end game content for solo players in ESO. There isn't a lot of designed solo content for end game period.

That being said, doing the craglorn group content as a solo player can be very challenging and rewarding. It's hard, but doable and many do.

I don't think we can answer your question OP.

As you played in Oct/Nov and played to max. before returning to WoD - which released November 13th - it means you have played the latest version of the game: update 1.5.

OK before someone mentions it there have been three lots of bug fixes since then, the most recent on Jan 12th, but ... I don't think bugs are a factor here.

So what are you asking? If you are after new content then there hasn't been any. Or are you asking how different the classes are? Or how vibrant PvP is? Or .....?

Edit: your above post wasn't live when I replied.

I came back and tried it again....was not any better than it was before and I quickly had no drive to log on. It is still just a shallow version of Skyrim to me and does not feel enough like an MMO to separated itself from the TES series.

Thornrage · January 2015

I came back and I am enjoying it. I left because most of my friends I have known for years were excited for Warlords of Dreaner and so I was left alone in ESO. I left ESO and joined them in WoW and once I and others made it to 100 (some didn't get that far) I was done with it. The new dungeons were terrible and the leveling experience was way too short. I got from 90 to 100 in about the same time I went from 60 to 63 when Burning Crusade came out. Now that was the best expansion for WoW. WoD was very shallow and the garrison was a disappointment.

I am now back in ESO and leveling up 2 new characters (2h/bow templar & Fire staff Sorceror) which are both fun. I waiting on the new updates coming to go back to my DragonKnight.

Simple answer.

Yes!!!

I just started 2 months ago after playing in beta.

I am definitely tempted to sub again. I did have a blast and only stopped playing because I got sucked into trying WoD (after not playing WoW for 2+ years).

The question for me is: Is there enough content in the end game for a non-guilded player? One poster already said theres not much... which saddens me. I mean, I already know whats available for the most part...dungeons(without a working group finder), leveling through other faction zones, trials(Im assuming mostly guild runs), PvP(which I do not really participate in)...that cover it?

Doesn't that list sort of cover end game for MMOs in general? Well... not the other faction leveling bit. That's unique.

And you left out the end game group zone, Craglorn.
