Does Planetside 2 count ? It's actually funny because the worst bottleneck in that game are the home PC CPUs. The network and the servers are doing alright.

Yes, it actually does. Planetside 2 and Darkfall: Unholy Wars are the two that do it right. And if they can do it so can any other MMO.

I don't know about Darkfall, but Planetside does a lot of stuff client-side to achieve that. I guess it works, but it's also cheater's paradise.

darkfall 1 (2009) was the closest thing to elderscrolls mmo in terms of actual gameplay, new darkfall is still going to be way closer than ESO but now it has classes and EXP (not necessarily saying this is worse, just less like ES). people care more for graphics and cliche lore than gameplay, easier and less risky way to sell an mmo.

Anyway is there going to be a open beta or what?

So far it looks very spammy

But he'll be around somewhere between Heaven and The Devil, because neither of them will take him in, and he'll be farting loudly and singing a filthy song.

button mashing is still better than auto combat imo...

TBH the melee combat has always been pretty shitty in TES games.

It would be great if they at least tried to do something different with the combat system.

For example Wildstar, while in it's core is still hotbar combat system, uses so called telegraphs/skill shots that you need to aim to hit the enemy:

BAMP

Nobodies talking about the beta event going on this weekend?  I'm assuming they are stress testing servers.

I won't really be able to invest time into getting into this game for a 3 day period, so I'm going to skip it.  If anyone plays in it, give us your thoughts please :)

I love(d) the Elder Scrolls universe and I'm sure this game will be just like every other ground breaking MMO that's been released in the past year or so with it's own variations and quirks but Dota 2 is taking up my time and I'm sure Monster Hunter Online will be eyeing me a bit seductively then this one.

And come on, High Elves, Kahjiit, and Bosmer; Dunmer, Nords AND Argonians? As far as I can recall the factions don't make sense lore wise, and we've never been to Valenwood before so if we go I better see some cannibalistic wood elves.
And how!
