Being kicked out of dungeons, just because your level isnt high enough in the eyes of some players is plain bad behaviour - which doesnt get punished. As a new player this really takes a lot of fun out of the game. The amount of content and the quests are good (the voiceacting is great) but the amount of bugs (many of them related to quests and breaking them) is terrible. In the bugged out state with its "elitist" community elder scrolls online is a game not worth to be played. EDIT: Well after a few days more of punishing myself to play the game i can say, that the game has the poorest balancing I have seen in any mmo up to this date. Really just keep your fingers away from it. If you planed on getting a subscription better pay for FF14 or WoW - you will get far more quality content for your money.

The storyline is also one of my favorites that the game has to offer, even if dealing with snooty High Elves is hard work.

Summerset wasn't called as expansion like Morrowind, but as a chapter. However it's sold at expansion price but with half the content.

The new Zone is buggy at release (as always with Zenimax new releases). Sorry but this isn't worth the money.

As a preface, I've been playing ESO since beta and am a massive, massive fan of the game and have been along championing it as it just goesAs a preface, I've been playing ESO since beta and am a massive, massive fan of the game and have been along championing it as it just goes from great to great. I love seeing the game constantly improve on itself.But that said, Summerset isn't an improvement. It's a step back. Where Morrowind blew me out of the water with its immersive experience, dynamic and highly rewarding quests, and fresh setting, Summerset was just, well, more vanilla content.None of the side quests were lengthy, dynamic, and rewarding like essentially joining the morag tong was. ESO is playing it safe, and tried nothing new with Summerset. It was rumoured they would introduce necromancy, which they could have easily done in addition to the psijic order - but why work harder than they need to?Everything about it just felt like a missed opportunity to me. Nothing in the entire expansion wowed me and the rewards to the player in skills, items, and cosmetics were all incredibly underwhelming. And perhaps they thought this was acceptable because they introduced crafting among other things, but... Really? That could've been for free in the base game.Finally one of the worst elements towards this hugely poorly created expansion was the boring, grinding way in which you advance through the Psijic order. It's so boring that the skills to me are not even worth the effort of mindlessly droning about Tamriel closing rifts.In conclusion, I'm nothing short of shocked that they thought it was an acceptable or exciting release and even more shocked that they thought it was acceptable to charge the same price as Morrowind on what felt like a step back from Morrowind, rather than the step forward I was hoping for.
