Elder Scrolls Online

If you don't like the game, don't buy it. Don't play the beta, don't spend your time worrying about it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that you need to bash a game that others may like. The betas are put in place to test servers at max load (specifically this one). User input/feedback will make this game even better. So if you hate the current build, give feedback.


TLDR; Some will love ESO, some will hate it. Deal with it.

Listen, I didn't say shut up, I said try to give your feedback to devs..

Too late for "hey how about a sandbox" feedback unless they gonna scrap big sections of work already done, which i dont see em doing with the amount of money thats been pumped into this.

Elder scrolls: Large open ended sandbox world

WoW: Zone to zone quest hubs, faction specific zones

Quality logic there mate. Two things share some loose similarities and they are oh so much alike?

WoW: You collect experience to get to the next level, where you unlock new spells.

Everquest: You collect experience to get to the next level, where you unlock new spells.

Why are we playing this terrible WOW-like shitfest!?!?

I can understand that you wanted a world more like other Elder Scrolls and I get that, and that's a valid complaint. Likening TESO to WoW, however, is not.

Its not loose similarities, its trying to do what most other MMOs have tried to do since wow came out, emulating it for the most part and hoping the dollars will flow in. Its like that scene in groundhog day where Bill Murray is trying to recreate the night where he got the girl but cant get it right.

Its an outdated model for the most part. Ive tried to play Deus ex3 with all the rave reviews but i couldnt get into it because level by level feels so dated now that weve had a taste of open worlds.

Thats how ESO feels, a dated game. Instead of focusing on what makes ES great, the sandbox, they went along and made something most people are bored with by now. The go to quest hub A, move to quest hub B, then C model.

If that pleases you, ok thats not only wow thats used this. There, happy?

A dated game with a 300mil dollar budget [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Couldn't of said it better myself. If this was coming out in 2004, it would of been great.

I went on ahead and edited my posts that clearly broke the NDA, I'd rather not have any trouble come of it since someone made a post about it and I know the community here is pretty shitty and I could see them reporting me.

Here is what I will say, without breaking the NDA. One hour is not long enough to see what they are trying to do. This is an MMO, it isn't a normal game. The first few hours are devoted to learning the game. Sure, in classic EverQuest they didn't hold your hand. MMO's have evolved away from the plop you into the game with a note thing because that is what MUDs used to do way back in the day and they were trying to make a visual MUD. These games are advanced, and they have more sophisticated design.

You spent an hour exploring the game? Your opinion isn't even noteworthy. Try to get past your preconception that it should be an Elder Scrolls game and once you get past the first two starting areas and enter your capital city, I guarantee that you will find the game much more to your liking. In fact, you'll be super surprised with what you will find. I do not want to post any more because while I'm excited about it and I posted a ton earlier, I would really rather be in other beta weekends because I cannot get my hands on enough of this game at the moment.
