And by the way, there are Official Forums for the Elder Scrolls Online.  If you are not a fan of the information realeased (or leaked) thus far, I encourage you to go there and be heard.

It's being negatively received kind of all over the internet.  Every gaming site I go to that has a story about it has negative comments attached to it, so it's not just website.  This is just an observation, nothing more.  I do agree a bit with the op, but I really think everyone is just jumping the gun on this one. 

I really want to wait to see.   I want more information about the game.  I want gameplay videos, I want a beta test.  I want some concrete stuff before I am going to make any judgment on the game. 

My main issue is that I hope it doesn't effect the single player rpg series.  I am somewhat confident that it wont, as Zenimax is not going to give up on thier mult-million dollar cash cow, especially after Skyrim's success.  With this game....Worst case scenario is that they squander their opportunity, release a bad game, ruin the lore and it becomes something we laugh about in a few years.  Best case scenario, we have a lore-rich game that is a fun time-killer between TES V and TES VI.  For me anyways.

Saying it's like DAoC does little to no good to a lot of people. GW2 is going to be released soon and us close enough to DAoC for the majority. Not to mention, many of us have already played it and know how awesome it is. No subscription helps also

So some time back ' we want pvp in MMOS based on DAOC' and now 'GW2 is awesome and nothing will be good enough'? i would save my judgements till i actually play 3 faction PVP in TESO. And yes more MMOS based on DAOC the better.

Since when having more choices is a bad thing?

For the first time i agree with you Chrome.

We are tired of this "Pink Slime" being passed off as "good meat".

Regardless of the state of the recently revealed game or its ability to stand on it's own as an MMO, the development team has departed significantly from the features that characterized previous Elder Scrolls games and has resulted in a backlash from the fan base.

With the leak of some detailed information on game play, many have begun to wonder if the title of Elder Scrolls Online should be replaced with something more fitting a traditional MMO "Based upon the lore of the Elder Scrolls Series".

At a time when most MMO's benifit from exciting announcments, ESO is already being heralded as a falure for lack of vision. This appears to be the most negatively received "reveal" in the history of the modern MMORPG.         
 

...and you're basing that on the responses from the boards on this website?  No surprise there, knowing that many of the lurkers here are devoted to sandbox / action games.  I don't see much if any negativity on other websites in regards to the release, with exception to MMORPG.com as usual.

Maybe you should actually check another site or two.

You, your lonely neighbour, the rubber duck in your bath tub and your dog 'barney' doesn't count as WE.

More choices are a good thing.  I would just like the option to choose to play a MMO based on the Elder Scrolls series of game with a feature set that is similar to what these games offer. 

Oh yea..i don't have that as a choice.....you would think something called "Elder Scrolls Online" might offer it...but no.

My comment was mostly about 3 faction PVP.

It seems like every new game reveal comes with a "worst announcement in the history of MMOs" thread. Is it possible that these forums are just filling more and more with compulsive whiners?

I see like 3 to 4 negative topics, rest are people complaining about others complaining (no surprise there) other then that there are actually quite good  topics on front page where people are having civil discussion. Guess you just focus on negative too much and fail to see the rest?

As everyone can see from the time stamping of your post, great job reviewing the Elder Scrolls Forums in all of LESS THAN 3 MINUTES.  Anything else you can possibly contribute to this thread is meaningless.

3 minutes is a lot of time to go though front page of the site, and title of topics are good enough to tell you the kind of discussion people would expect.

Like i said you are tryiing to hard for people to see only negatives. 

By the way i have been going through official forums whole morning, not like you just introduced me to it through your link.

*rolls eyes*

If it aint Gw2 it aint nothin'

If you take the time to actually read the threads, you will get a good sense of the community's reaction.  Your post was made to be argumentitive, but you didn't take the time to back it up.  Are you just looking for way to up your post count?

I fully support this view.
