Why is it that thirdies flock to multiplayer and multiplayer communities (especially MMORPGs) more than any other group of people? I only call the thirdies out because they have some of the most disgusting takes, especially with how easily they are swayed by graphics, early access, and Korean / Chinese trash. I am not trying to generalize here, thirdies just seem like a massive wave of sludge on multiplayer gaming.

Can I enjoy this game without having to shill out more money for ingame currency/premium subscriptions?
I just want to play some comfy MMO for story, exploration and questing with other people, and I've always enjoyed the Elder Scrolls world, but recently playing LotRO with all its over-monetization has left a bad taste in my mouth, I wouldn't want to make the same mistake again especially for a paid game.

SHIT GAME
>>
>>1251957
This was me, got it in 2020 played with friends for like a month-ish but hated the weird squishy floaty combat the whole time. The combat felt fake and fudged (which it is so that you can play any content at most any level). The world in ESO is great and lush and fun to explore but it just makes you wish you could play it with Skyrim/quality single player engine vs a janky multiplayer one.

OP If you want to check it out then go for it but honestly it's not amazing. A C- to C+ at its best.
>>
>>1227271
Would have flopped hard if it didn't have Elder Scrolls in the title, the brand hard carries it like you wouldn't believe. It's not the worst thing I've played but holy shit I would not recommend it.
Questing is chill, sure, but it's also mind bogglingly easy. Seriously, you're fucking invincible against regular overworld enemies. The difficulty is either "rape everything and never drop below 99% health" or "lmao get oneshotted". The latter being the case in veteran (max level) DLC dungeons and trials (raids). Also most of the "quests" are the same fucking thing over and over. Hope you like running from point A to point B and clicking E on a note, because that's what you'll be doing for most of the game.
The combat is incredibly unsatisfying. Nothing has any weight and your damage isn't tied to weapon upgrades or anything but rather your armor set giving you bonuses and how good you are at your rotation, which is always just throwing down a bunch of DoTs, spamming your main damage skill while waiting to reapply the DoTs, and "weaving" light attacks between every action. Which is just a gay way of saying animation canceling light attacks for free damage. People like to praise the "build variety" in this game and I cannot understand why. Everyone uses the same gear and has the same build for their role, and the only difference between classes is the color of your class skills.
Don't even get me started on the aggressive jewing. Some of the worst monetization I've ever experienced.
And before anyone tries to cope and tell me that it gets better, I've played the game on and off since release. I've done literally every single quest in the game up to, and including, the High Isle chapter and done several veteran trials.
I fucking wish this game was good, man, but it just isn't. I regret spending several thousand hours of my life on this garbage.
>>
i mean it's just for comfy gameplay and exploring. when are the mainline ES games "difficult" unless you jack up the difficulty level? baffling when people play a game they think is shit. move on buddy, there's a thousand other games to play

Buy the biggest bundle whichever has the most content on Steam then refund it. The game content will not be removed from your... Bethesda(?) account, whatever it's called, ESO account.

Have cheaters essentially ruined FPS games for anyone else as well? Years back I enjoyed playing PUBG, but then it got ruined by an influx of an unholy number of cheaters. I used to like playing Siege too, but cheaters at higher ranks and ubisoft's retarded decisions rendered the game basically unplayable for me. Same situation with Hunt and higher ranks too, it's all either cheaters or rats, or both. Got into Tarkov a couple years back, but it turned out the EU region in that game is one giant farm for Chinese RMT cheaters, there also isn't any matchmaking in Tarkov, meaning cheaters play in the same lobbies as shitters and aren't put in high containment ranks. Bf1 used to be great as well, but so many servers specifically in the EU region seem to be filled with either cheaters or high level sweats who have all meta guns unlocked these days.

Don't even get me started on games like CSGO/2 and Warzone.

The only shooters that I found have very few/almost no cheaters are HLL, Squad and Insurgency, but these games are really boring and heavily promote camping due to their low TTK. There are also no meaningful progression/goals in these shooters, essentially you just camp around, rack up kills and don't really get anything for it, besides some xp/points that let you unlock cosmetics.

Basically at this point I'm pretty much completely out of fun games to play.

I booted up BF1 for the first time in ages and remembered people on here saying it was full of cheaters as I got accused of hacking in my very first game.
>>1254560
Site is full of egotistical casuals now to whom any sufficiently good player may as well be cheating. It's impossible that someone is just better than them and even if they are then they must have devoted their entire life to it. Just look at the guy above you coping that it's fine he banned players he wasn't even sure were hacking because they must be losers for being that good. Those are the people crying about cheaters.

The simple truth is that if you're playing a FPS then either you're a cheater or you're a second class citizen.
The people arguing against that are just people who love FPS games and are in denial. Sad.

What's your favorite thing to drink while you play Vintage Story? For me, it's mulled cider and coffee with heavy goat milk.

Not much. OG picked up a little in traffic where the main server is experiencing the natural slow down we get after every major update. A lot of chisel work lately.

I have questions.
1. Why do people pretend WOTLK was the best expansion that drew so many players when it actually plateaued hard right out of the gate, only being the peak due to the natural player count gain from TBC and classic?
2. Why do people pretend TBC and classic were so bad and that people who reminisce on them have rose colored glasses when they.... have tons of people who look back on them fondly and were the xpacs that grew the game to its peak?
3. To bounce off the last two questions, why do people still pretend these are the cases when we can see via WOTLK Classic's massive player count falloff that it.. wasn't actually that good? Sure there's the problem of player saturation and whatnot, but many complain the xpac just isnt as fun as remembered. It was also the start of actiblizz, the marvelification of WoW's storyline, and the oversimplification of its systems.
I think its time, post-classic release of all three of these, that we consider the narrative the discourse around these games formed before classic's release ended up being flat out wrong.

As a general rule, every single modern player always thinks that the best expansion pack was two expansions ago.
When BC came out, the players praised Vanilla and said BC was shit.
When WotLK came out, the players praised Vanilla and said WotlK was shit.
When cataclysm came out, the players praised BC and Vanilla, and said Cataclysm was shit
And so on and so on and so on. It never stops.
>2.
Because the games were more difficult then.
People put more emotional investment in things that were harder for them to enjoy.
For example, when Vanilla was a thing, you didn't have BG cues. You literally had to stand outside of the instance in WSG or AV to join. Sometimes for hours. When you actually had a chance to play, each 'match' lasted anywhere from 30m to literal weeks.
Thottbot didn't exist yet, neither did wowhead. You had to socialize and connect with other people to actually figure out where the fuck dungeon entrances were and how to solve quests. etc etc etc
>3.
WoTLK had a lot of problems, but it was still many people's first expac.
