Elder Scrolls Online (all threads moved here)

[Hex]

Well I have played two beta weekends of the game so far, and it's just meh. Wildstar is a far superior game, and is still in an earlier stage of beta. But it does play almost exactly like all the other ES games, so if you enjoyed them, and would enjoy them with other people playing around you, then maybe you'll like it. It's still VERY clunky.

That's one of the other things that turns me off, either it's massively multiplayer or it's not, so far it seems like it's taking this halfway approach all around with a big chunk of the game being more or less single player except there's other people so either your interaction with the environment will be nigh limited or you're going to have people constantly in your shit messing you up.

I don't like it.

It feels a lot like SWTOR did leveling. Where you're part of this huge story, but so are all these other players, and you really only see them while you're in the towns, and maybe a couple here to there while walking around questing.

I've never played SWTOR but that doesn't sound massive at all.

LOL at you thinking ESO has carebare lore (go learns yurself sum ESO history - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Od2...aDLKS5&index=1)

I didn't speak to anything about the representation of TES lore specifically; I meant the attitude towards player relations in the game is very carebear in contrast to TES offline games and their lore,.

well then i retract my statement.

who's attitude are u referring to when u say, "I meant the attitude towards player relations in the game is very carebear in contrast to TES offline games and their lore"

personally i see this more as "Elder Scrolls: Online" than i do a "EldersScrolls: MMO"

This... the minute you lower you expectations to Online versus MMO is the minute this game becomes viable again.... just not as an MMO

[Sirken]

welp, either Alarti works for Zenimax or can foresee the future.

saw a interview from E3 with a Zenimax guy correcting the interviewer, he refers to ESO as the next big MMO, and the Zenimax guy says, "we like to see it more as an Elder Scrolls game that can be played with your friends, more than just another MMO".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD7x1KF8N8o pretty good 20min video that is a summary of "what we know so far" about ESO. pretty up to date, only ~1wk old

[Millburn]

Soooooooo....

ESO is gonna be subbed AND have a cash shop. That bad feeling I have about this game just got a lot more justified.
