Elder Scrolls Online

The new beta is great, I am having a ton of fun. Highly recommend.

I would have loved an online multiplayer version of Skyrim, but that's not what ESO is.

It's just another cookie cutter MMO, with a bad camera angle, and shit gameplay. Playing ES with other people should never be about having 50 people all attacking the same group of rats and bats.

Yep.

Honestly, I can't see how people would even think that a TES would make a good MMO. TES games are way to player centric and scripted about what you do that it would never work in a MMO setting with thousands of others trying to be "hero" or whatever you want to call it. A TES game would probably be awesome with a local co-op mode (iirc there was a mod being worked on for Skyrim that was going to allow this. Think it got scrapped sadly), but not as a MMO. They are just two very different games.

I swear if this game wasn't called an Elder Scrolls game it would of become vaporware before beta even happened.

Call it "Snowy lands of Go kill something" or whatever you want and no one would care. It would be seen as the generic broken pile that it is.

Seriously though, this game is only going to hold peoples attention for 3 maybe 4 months max. It'll be F2P before 2015 guaranteed.

I am in beta. Love it. This game is far more promising than any mmo in the past 8 years. Get the fuck over it scrubs. It reminds me of eq in a way because it is very immersive.... First person mmorpgs have an advantage over 3rd person or god mode games alone...

Every new mmorpg is going to kill everything then a few months into release we find out the game is dead.

This is exactly it.

I keep hearing everybody say how fun it is but I have yet to hear anybody talk about how satisfying it is. This is going to be a lot of fun for the first month or two and then it's going to rapidly lose its luster and after 3 to 4 months it's going to drop in population like every other MMO out there.

I'll eat my words if that doesn't happen because I really want a new solid MMO but I just don't see it with ESO.

It really is up in the air at this point. The majority of people who have commented on gameplay here have made to level 10, maybe. Most the naysayers didn't even make it that far.

The few people who have commented regarding the mid and end game have said its fantastic. There is a post regarding mid/end game in my old thread from last beta weekend.

My point is we haven't seen enough to really condemn the game to failure. In my opinion the beginning of the game is just fine. 1-10 may not be the most exciting gameplay I have had but its solid.

By level 10 in EQ you have a rusty sword, some cloth armor and are still killing orcs with a group.

Give it a fair shake before you shit all over it
