The Elder Scrolls Online

[Fredom]

After playing about 20 hours of it I'm really impressed (and that's considering the bugs, gold spammers, etc.).  If endgame is this good I think it will be the WoW killer.

I saw a gameplay and found the graphics are worse than the ones of Skyrim... That's right? O

Graphics doesn't mean anything in an MMO, Elder Scrolls have always been about exploring an open world, and it certainly delivers on that side, the rest? Nah.

Of course they are worse... it's an MMO with thousands of players on their servers. They said they had estimated pre orders of 1mio-2mio. And there are two big servers, one for EU, one for NA. Can't expect them to make awesome graphics that need a good pc. It would also cause lag for many with average pcs. Now, nearly everyone should be able to play unless he's using win xp (joke hehehhe).
I didn't see any server selection (only that I'm playing with EU client). It's all pretty full, thanks the Eight there are three factions which means three starting areas. It's already damn full, but with one starting area it would be insane.

I enjoy this game. It's not boring as some rl friends said. Until now. Dunno what's planned in the high levels.

Still buggy, but lets face it ALL MMOs are buggy at launch. Enjoying it so far, but haven't played much yet (level 8) due to time constraints.

[Fredom]

Does it run with steam? Or is there any greenlight announced yet? I'd be pretty interested in it but I want to play it through/using steam.

[Miwiw]

Why would you.... thats not making sense. Why would ESO need green light anyway? They don't need steam for their game.

WoW killer? People still believe that an mmo can kill wow? Its not possible, WoW will eventually kill itself though. ESO will die within months though. I heard the pvp is shit in ESO aswell. I really dont think this game has anything going for it that will keep it alive in the long run.

Actually the most fun I have had in a MMO for years.

I tend to forget that I am leveling and just enjoy running around doing the quests with my brother.


I don't know, I wasn't really impressed about this game but I am glad I bought it because I am hooked.


Also, WoW killer is the stupidest term that everyone says about every game and I fucking hate it because its never going to happen.


But I do think this game will hold its own. I'll have to see how end-game holds up but from the dungeons I've done, my questing experience so far, and the pvp I have tried, this game isn't going to be F2P any time soon like everyone has been saying. Again, I will have to see how end game is.


I am also surprised this is the first game I have disagreed with Vibe about. I was even upvoting some of his shit talking about this game until just recently. Sorry ESO fans.

The dungeons, the questing and the PvP have nothing to do with the game going F2P. Only money does.

[Clockworkkiller]

Lol vibe please pull that stick out your ass

Generally the quality of content in a game has something to do with the money they make.

Not always, I realize there can be other factors but generally that has something to do with it. Especially when you are talking about a subscription based game. If the quality of content is good people tend to keep paying.

That being said I was just giving an opinion based off what I have played.

[Miwiw]

Hopefully it stays p2p forever, it has quite a high chance for that.

p2p mmos at least leave lot of scum players out of the game, not all of course but its far more enjoyable than a f2p game.
Or at least if it has high restricted content that f2p players don't easily get.

im okay with f2p games but only if I can pay to be better than free players just like I am in real life.

[Miwiw]

Jep thats why I like Turbine when they went f2p with lotro.
Pay 10$ per month and get a VIP account, as the game would be normal (access to everything). If f2p you get a minimum and need to buy additional stuff for either real money or in game coins which are easy to get (lots of farming, grinding). So if you want to play it actively only a VIP account makes sense (otherwise its either too expensive or takes too much time). Great for casual players as well who don't like to spend money regularly.
However I prefer a p2p system in a mmo with an additional cash shop that sells minor stuff (ie. char slots. I really hope you can buy additional slots in ESO, 8 aren't enough^^).

You can't kill what's already dead
