Eso has a very nontoxic community compared to other mmos alot of guilds focus on helping and teaching new players. 6 ESO will finally be a good game. I don't feel like I have interesting new tools to play with. how ever the rest of ESO is extremely good. Gw2 is garbage and if you play GW2 you're probably not very good and you just stand around in town showing off costumes, if you are good ESO’s creators have been working on optimizing how laggy and unrewarding PVP can feel. Now, if they took ESO and made it single player like Skyrim, that would have a much better potential for the type of play most of the complaints are in favor of 3- Tell the monarch how much of a good boy he is while you watch him die just to revive him in a couple of missions.

The majority of the quests are very good too. I suggest doing the dark brotherhood starting quest and get the Blade of Woe. Now the other one that died out quickly is the Classes. Mind you I don't have a top of the world rig and it's still better. IMO Vvandenfell, Orsinium, Rivenspire, etc had great, memorable stories -- some of the best in the entire Elder Scrolls series -- but some of the other zones were forgettable and just standard MMO "go there and kill this" faire. The Imperial City was introduced to the Elder Scrolls Online in 2015 and brought along with it, a new zone of the same name in Cyrodiil and now has its own PVP campaign.

All Rights Reserved I’ve played solo pretty much my whole time on ESO - the main story and the faction quest lines are interesting and will keep you involved - the side quests can be interesting and will give you plenty of variety - the writing and story telling is really good in most of the main and faction quests - if you have the DLC expansion chapters there I love the extremely hateful "no"-s for the guys who just hate ESO because ES6 is still coming soon. I don't like the many different servers/worlds on NW, ESO megaserver is better. Eso's console-Version is waaaaay better than anything else I tested so far.
