    it is a fun game with lots and lots of content. but there are 2 things why i already quit playing the game 2 times. its the combat system and the awefull progression system when levleing a new charackter,

    the combat system is a mix of tab target and action combat. if your crosshair is on your enemy target while you cast a spell or skill, its locked on him and cant miss. it basically    it is a fun game with lots and lots of content. but there are 2 things why i already quit playing the game 2 times. its the combat system and the awefull progression system when levleing a new charackter,

    the combat system is a mix of tab target and action combat. if your crosshair is on your enemy target while you cast a spell or skill, its locked on him and cant miss. it basically creates the illusion of action conbat while its lock on "tab target" in reality. and thats not all negative, the combat is super clunky and slow. sometimes you have to press a button multiple times untill the skill goes off and to makes things worse, the skill and attack animations often times cancle or delaying your barswap by 0.5-1 second. i often times find myself in situation barswaping and pressing a button to use skill x, but the game didnt even barswaped because i pressed too fast. this especially is critical in pvp.

    the overall clunkyness and the delay of actions because of animations makes this combat the worse i have seen in a mmo so far. the combat also has no weigt behind it. other aspects behind of the combat system makes it even worse. things like no cooldown on skills or the tri stat progression system of health, stamina and magicka. so its not only the combat system itself which is unoptimized and not fully thought through, its also its pillars which are not fully thought through.

    the combat system is what makes or break a mmo for me because you have to "work" with it the whole time while you play. and while ESO is a great game content wise, its combat and technical state are a complete mess.    … Expand

    I like this game just because I can play Skyrim with my friends. This game is also massive as has some interesting secrets I never expected from an MMO.

    It's a game with a lot of flaws. I don't know if I'll do it again if it gets better

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset is a good add-on, with a new realm, main quest and characters, but still not up to the Morrowind standard.

    Summerset is a great second chapter for Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), allowing players to explore, challenge themselves with new and dangerous enemies, and learn about the Psijic Order that had disappeared over 300 years earlier.

    The Summerset expansion pack brings a lot of quests, an enormous map to explore, and some pretty nifty skills and abilities to the table and I recommend anyone playing ESO pick it up post-haste.
