Discussion Thread: Dev Team’s “Top 5 Bugs & Pain Points” Request

ZOS_Kevin;c-8260655

Thanks for starting this conversation, @LadyGP. Just wanted to put a reminder that if folks share bugs and pain points here, that they also reflect that in the thread where we are collecting the list from players. LadyGP has it in the first post of this thread.

Hey Kevin, I posted in the thread but just wanted to add here that I wonder if this might also be some good material for a survey, like y'all did last year about guilds. Not that you won't get useful feedback here on the forum, but I feel like that's going to be very difficult to parse through. Especially with the answers varying so greatly depending on the areas of the game that people engage with. Just a thought about another potential avenue for gathering this feedback from players but in perhaps a more structured way. It's really nice to see our feedback being sought after, whatever form that may take.

I think Kevin mentioned that they are working on a survey for performance and are in the final stages of that.

Kevin created a thread asking players to submit their top five bugs and pain points that we would like addressed but asked to keep comments to a minimum. This thread is for discussing the dev team’s request itself, what bugs and issues you think are the most important, and any expectations or thoughts on how they might address them.

So, about the request itself, my plan is to ignore it. My expectations are that it won't matter. My expectation is that they will be more attracted to player comments that align favorably with their current decisions and not as much for comments that are not. I expect that they already have stuff in the works. Planned, booked, and confirmed. While ZOS needs to listen to players, I think that what we say now won't be in the game for over a year, assuming that it aligns well with what ZOS wants. 2026 or even 2027. By then, the player comments and opinions may be very much different than they are today. Many players that respond to this query today may not even be playing the game anymore.

That is a good idea. The general point with the thread is to get a baseline for the communities most sought after bugs. We are reviewing this now and seeing what can get tackled and when. However, getting more feedback via a survey is not a bad idea and something we can work on for later in the year. We do have a few surveys in the works on other issues, so we need to finish those and get them out before taking on any other survey projects.

I am curious how survey recipients are selected. Despite having many, many more hours in the game than most players and several stars next to my name here on the forums, I have never got one. I guess I have bad RNG everywhere, lol.
