also, heard on friday that the main reason for the push back was not for consoles, but was due to the amount of work still needed based on beta feedback. if thats true, thats A+ because it means they arent rushing the game to meet a target date.

Cyrodiil is supposed 9x larger than each starting area. which is much larger than i originally heard. so we'll see.

no loading screens

interactive map (pvp/cyrodiil infos)

i really hope (think) the instancing wont be as bad as some people think. i like having the same enemies. it builds rivals and hate, etc

guilds can form actual alliances.

leaderboards

no item loot, no coin loot- u get alliance points

Archery sounds like TES games, ie can shoot through a steel grate / slots (can also pour burning oil on people through these)

resources > keeps

That's some of the best news ever! The main reason (in my opinion) that most modern mmo's crash quickly is because they are pushed out before being thoroughly completed. I thought the setback was for consoles, and was pretty pissed that my fun was pushed back because of console whores. I really hope they release a finished kickass TES game! As for the archery thats great, I'm rolling a heal type templar and my friend who I am going to duo my entire career with is rolling a stealth type, and he is a fucking crackshot with a bow since oblivion. (khajiit and altmer FTW!!)

Want to get hyped but can't.

It's going to suck.

Prepare for another over-instanced dungeon-finder shitfest with no sense of community, and little impetus to rely on or interact with other people on any meaningful level.

I'll never enjoy another game again. Just die in my sleep already

With all the instancing in this game that leaves room for another cop out that Bethesda loves. Scaled leveling.

Nothing screams quality like hitting a high level and suddenly every random bandit you meet has a set of Glass/Ebony/Daedric while the town guards are still rotting in their imperial steel. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My brother is a true ES fan and it's extremely popular in the military since those games always provided the perfect way to unwind from work ( stunning soundtracks, great feeling of freedom to explore etc).

I believe the true essence of ES games is solo, thats why im weary about an ES game going online and seeing "WTS cheap daedric armor pieces com'on Broskies PST".

As alarti said, from what Ive read so far (4 players dungeons maximum?) I believe it will be a great multiplayer to enjoy with fellow ES fans and close friends.

Im eager to test the new build with 1st person view at the gamescom, this is the only thing making me wanna try so far.

Breton Thief #5 I'm thinking. Oh but a Nightblade would be so fun for PvP. Are they going to have the old character classes?

So I'm sure you have all heard of the new mmo coming out based on the elder scrolls universe. My best friend and I are diehard elder scroll fans since the launch of morrowind (300 hours on morrowind, 200+ on oblivion, up on 220 for Skyrim right now) and we plan on rolling characters as soon as the server starts up. I plan on playing a healer and had a few questions about the role that e3 didn't answer, and a brief google search couldn't find. Just figured I would throw these out there for anyone with more info to answer. First, is the game going to be more pvp or pve based? It looks like it's leaning towards pvp, which I wouldn't mind but I prefer pve. I noticed how they said a player can be named emperor if he makes enough contributions, does this mean kills or quest turn ins, meaning could my healer class be crowned without killing many players. Lastly does the game look healer accesible? I noticed how there is little to no hud, this doesn't sound beneficial to healers at all. Thanks for your time!

I think they are going with a cross between darkfall online and WoW. Only time will tell, I REALLY hope they go everquest with starting out, having races with their own cities and starting areas instead of generic shit quests that everyone starts at.

With that being said, I'll more than likely try to play an mage-thief type with a 2hander. =p If I can specialize in some alteration type magic that gives me silent steps/invisiblity/lock picking while wielding a 2handed weapon, well then I am ready for cyrodil with my Dark Elf.
