The Elder Scrolls Online

[Vibe]

Got invited now but not even gonna bother beta testing this anymore

[Umbra]

Im pulling an allnighter today. Gonna play it all weekend. Gonna form my own opinion since this forum is filled with whiners anyway. Twas the same with Warhammer online, everyone bitched and moaned but it was the best MMO i have played to date.

Im a total elder scrolls fanboy and I also blindly trust Bethesda. They gave ZeniMax the all clear and thats pretty much enough for me to instantly buy it, they have yet to dissapoint me with a game. 

I might eat my words judging by some of the posts here. I hope not

The environment was cool and all that and I would have explored more of it if it wasn't so damn late when the beta opened. The combat is horrible and boring, even tab click is more fun.

I thought the graphics were nice, the world looked nice, the combat wasn't bad IMO, but after a while there really wasn't much atmosphere, didn't feel much like an Elder Scrolls game when I was simply only going from A to B to do quests, I didn't feel much freedom, which is a large part of an Elder Scrolls game. So eventually I just felt like I was playing the same old grind fest mmorpg shit that just happened to have the Elder Scrolls label slapped on it with first person combat.

As I will always say, each to their own, but regardless of opinions it's a fact this game brings nothing new to the table and brings even less than the singleplayer Elder Scrolls games. Maybe the PVP system could be its savior but I will wait to find that out after full release.

The story lines and characters were nowhere near as engaging as traditional ES games. This is confounded by a weak combat system which seems to lack any real depth.  I appreciate it's in beta but for me I'd much rather wait for the full release and try it again.

Trust me: story lines, characters, questing/leveling system and combat system never change from beta to release, especially if it's a "beta" like this one.

I'm having a blast, currently a lvl 5 argonian dragonknight, I'm dual-wielding swords like a boss

After seeing this beta, I'm 100% convinced that

ESO will be shut down, or go to a "Free to Pay to Win" model in a year, + or - 3 months.

[Thovex]

My thoughts exactly, I doubt enough people will go through the effort for this to pay $60 up front to play, and then like 13$ a month.

After watching Angry Joe's review, I must say that it looks way better than before they decided to make it really like a TES, but I'm certainly not interested at that price.

I can hardly think of a joke less likely to be understood by a random stranger on the internets

I decided not to bother this weekend, even tho I'd still kind of like to see ESO's pvp.

Instead I'm playing darkfall since they gave everyone a free weeks sub, its improved a fair bit but is still kind of dead. Ironic because this mmo still plays way more like elderscrolls than ESO.

edit: actually to be fair thats not entirely true, its a mixed bag. ESO quests/lore are more like elderscrolls its just everything else like combat/collision/freedom etc.
