One of the funniest bugs I've ever seen. In the English version of the game the spirits(yes only the spirits) speak German. Like the ones in the wyrd tree for example. Actually I don't know if its even a bug. They might have just skimped and didn't pay more money for someone to say the lines the spirits have.

doubt that considering everything else in the game is voiced.

ye.. that really annoyed me. I mean I'm German but I only play games on English as that's also imo the only language needed for games, so I skipped dialoges there. =D

Anyone still playing this?  :lol: my friend just gave me keys to get the standard ESO + 30 day sub and some explorer pack shit, I was not going to play this as I was disappointed by what I saw in the Beta but I've got a free 30 days to try it out so might as well try it out. Guess I'll be able to see if I actually like the game as a whole.

I have a few friends who bought this but already stopped playing it lmao. I would probably play it if it wasn't monthly or if they gave you a free 30 days to start or something (outside of a 60$ purchase that is). I just can't bring myself to buy games at 60$ anymore, almost nothing is worth that much to me anymore lol.

Ye, I'm done with major title prices. I didn't pay that much for M&B and I got thousands of hours. The last $60 title I bought was Rome 2.  :cry:

I honestly can't even remember the last game I bought for 60$. Steam sales have spoiled me. That and any game I've ever invested enough hours into to be worth 60$, well they were far less than 60$. (*cough warband cough*)

I dropped $30 for Rome 2 and played it for 11 hours, $60 for titanfall (44 hours), $80 for ESO (150+ hours), $4 and change -not counting camo money- for CSGO (600+ hours). I think I payed $15ish for M&B and yea, I've prolly got somewhere around 5000 hours in that game.  I personally was looking for a new game as I've been relatively bored for the last 6-8 months with WoW, C-rpg, etc.  Right now I'm really happy with CSGO, and ESO. 

ESO is a hell of a grind 300-500 hours of questing to hit the real max level, VR 10, but it tends to give me that sense of adventure (not knowing what's over the next hill (great rewards, epic dangers, etc.)) that I haven't felt since EQ or Vanilla WoW or Planetside 1 and that's huge to me.  Furthermore if Zeni actually does what they have committed to in their plan (I posted that a few up) I can't wait to see where this game takes off to.  Right now I feel as though ESO is the foundation for something that's going to be great  and in the mean time there is probably 1000+ more hours of content, so if they fall short I can always cancel my subscription and I will be happy with what I've gotten, but tbh, I think Zeni will come though, who knows.

Sadly it's still full of bugs. I actually meet them everywhere... need to relog quite often to get rid of them. Didn't play much during the last days so I was happy that they gave out 5 more days of playing time.

Yea true, but to be fair it's still early, and for all the bugs (which are slow to be fixed) none of them have yet to stop my progression, and none that I have encountered in the last 2-3 weeks aren't fixable with a quick log off/on, and far more importantly none of them are game breaking or can't be fixed, rather just periodic annoyances to be tolerated; really just a given resulting from the launch of a new MMO.

I gave up, at level 48, had about 14 days played left on my 30 days. I really wanted to give it the full 30 days to get the full experience but meh, the fantasy setting is just not me.

PvP is still great, best available (except for ArcheAge perhaps, will have to check that out soon enough).

Sometimes I think that it might eventually fall flat on it's head, perhaps not if it goes F2P soon, since the influx of players might fix the imbalance, but the fact that so many people are fully ranked in ESO via level exploiting, plus they tend to the people who also benefitted from the dupe exploit, they not only have the highest rank which takes months and months, they also have the gear and resources worth of 50 high level players in one, if not more for some of them.
This means that in PvP a group of people can take over half the map during night time, which they do every single night, 1 guy can drop siege equipment worth 25/50 players.
It seem Zenimax won't revoke it due to the bugs having been available for so long without them noticing, and thus everything is hugely unbalanced. You'll end up being 1 shot by VR10 exploiters half the time.

I still feel the same about the product though, ESO is well produced, it looks fine overall, not that the armors etc look that great they're pretty low res close up, but overall the look is more than acceptable for such an MMO, it looks slightly better than most other MMOs but nothing spectacular.
Quests are well varied versus other MMOs, you'll feel it is less tedious. There a minimal amount of "Kill X mob" for random drop quest chance, which is great, something that other MMOs tend to base 90% of their quests on. Also the dreadful escort/follow quests are at an all time minimal for any MMO. Great!

Regarding the game having an immersive environment, as with Angry Joe's review, it is absolutely true that ESO has no immersive environment, at all, not at any time did I feel something was epic or cool in PvE. The only "epic" part is the choices you get in some quests where you cannot go back and change them, which is awesome, but if you're looking to "escape" into the world of Elder Scrolls, then Skyrim is probably more for you.

ESO's force is the PvP (RvR) and the fact that you can somewhat group with everyone in dungeons despite level.
The PvP could easily stand on it's own and in fact I think that it would probably have been better of without the ES universe attached to it.
Things don't exist simply because you believe in them, thus sayeth the almighty creature in the sky!

Watch angry joe ESO review, then watch his GW2 review... ESO is the absolute antithesis to all the stuff that made GW2 enjoyable even tho its a themepark mmo.

but yeah we knew all of this from the beta, idk why joe or anyone actually payed for the game or acts surprised that the game is awful.

So, does anyone still play this?

As it is buy2play now, a friend and I are considering to buy it to play together.
Did they ptach out bugs and such things in the last 12 months, are there any players left, did they improve something at all etc. ?
