It is unfair to write a negative review for this game. I am 2700 hours in, still stumbling into new delves, finding new skyshards, travelling to new locales, doing crazy quests, getting new builds, trying new characters and classes.

As for learning the slightly complicated mechanics of the game (Combat, CP system, builds, armour sets, motifs, Antiquity system, Crafting system), I highly suggest watching the Youtube channels "Hack The Minotaur", "Skinny Cheeks" and "Lucky Ghost" for new and veteran players alike!

**Review Update 1/11/23**

Endless Archive - This is a concept I am very familiar with as I did 3-6 hour endless runs regularly in Warframe. I do not like how it is executed in ESO.

A) The difficulty progression is too steep. It could've been good without the Tho'at Replicanum levels. It doesn't feel "Endless" at all. I was expecting a less steep progression of enemies.

B) The progression of rewards in relation to the difficulty, I don't know, its non-existent. I got 400 gold for doing few hours. It should've been 50K-100K atleast!!! After slaying hundreds of Trial minions and tens of DLC Dungeon bosses, Endless Archive Master Malkhest rewarded me with Saltwater bait, Empty Soul Gem and like 400 Gold and some buffs to be used in this mode.

Its unreal how bad the rewards are. Who gives empty soul gems as the reward for their endgame mode!?
The amount of effort put in was worth 50K Gold, Repair Kits, Filled soul gems, 1 Gold upgrading material, gold motifs, purple food, gold recipes etc etc etc. the reward pool is so bad.

C) The traders in the Archive Index have the worst inventory ever. Again, for an endgame mode, the store has items that don't even make sense to me.


Anyway, I wont write it all out, I just wont play such a tedious grind for saltwater bait, empty soul gems, 400 gold, and memento parts from traders, utterly disappointed.
