They haven't. If you like me have been hoping for a true Elder Scrolls MMO this isn't it. This is DAoC 2 in Tamriel. Not saying it will be a bad game, and maybe it'll be fun to play, but take it for what it is. Otherwise you'll just be disappointed.

DAoC 2.0 in Tamriel sounds a lot better than anything else being drummed up the past few years. In fact that excites me even more!

I wish there were some Argonians and Khajit too in the trailer. That would give it more character aside from other things but one thing i don't understand is why is the Altmer not golden skinned. Aside from that it is an incredible cinematic and i literally can't tell if it's part live action part cgi or full cgi.

Btw, are they still on Hero engine? That's my biggest gripe about the game. All the other concerns getting looked at imo and it will be a pretty good game probably (i can't help but be optimistic about it being a huge TES fan). In the end i'm excited, can't lie.

Experience has taught me that features which devs do not bring up are usually the ones that are lacking, thus resulting in significant lack of staying power for specific MMO.

For example, what about: arena/warzones and leveling through PVP, alternative leveling zones within faction, roleplaying elements (housing, chat bubbles, inns etc.), combat and class diversity?  

I thought the interview really was extremely vague.   And yes he said basically the same thing every single other mmos have pretty much said entering beta.

graphics look amazing , lets hope the game is as well.

Just scared that this mmo having so much money invested in it, will take the safe route like all other AAA titles

Combat sounds good. I worry about the megaserver sounds like a fancy work for instance lol.

The AvA sounds just like GW2 Im cautious about this if its just a ton of randoms all thrown together to fight for nothing its not going to work out too well. They would be wise to make people choose a specific "server" or something to fight for anytime they goto pvp kinda like gw2 guesting.

People must be able to build reputations and be seen an feared in MMO pvp that is what keeps people playing.

Also just on a personal note if you can't see enemys names I wont play im so sick of that.

Having been a big fan of DAOC Pre-TOA on Guinevere/Midgard, I have hopes TES can be the next game I get really excited for and can't wait to log in each day. I'm not going to get myself hyped up though. I'll wait and see, once I get my hands on the game I can decide. I'm hoping the crafting is a lot like it was in DAOC. I remember on Guin/Mid the whole community would help our high level crafters out with materials and gold, just get their skills to max. The whole realm worked together like that, the people were excellent.

I kind of hope TES is very DAOC Pre-ToA  like, I'd much rather play with a few hundred thousand people as a community than the millions of easy mode casuals we have in the larger games. We shall see....

It's cgi look at the eyes.

The combat and itemization sound really good, but I think confining pvp to a single zone will hurt this game replayability. I'm really concerned about his. I'm concerned from experience. Swtor, TSW, and GW2 tried this. As a pvpr these 3 games all lacked staying power.

GW2 failed with it's WvW because there was no damn incentive other than "I want my server to be the best in the world", dumbest decision they made in the game imo. There was no server pride as people freely jumped from server to server and the lack of identity really hurt it aswell. There was no progression either and it turned into massive zergs and contrary to popular belief there wasn't much meaningful or even fun times to be had in a small group.

DAoC had the best PvP ever imo, and that was confined into one zone. And I would still be playing DAoC but the movement and controls are just too damn dated.

No arena or warzones as they detract from ava. (good move imo)

No housing either.

Don't know the rest

Yea. Thanks. I've heard there was no arena, but no warzones? So, I guess we can scratch competitive PvP. Which means it's all about zerg pvp, GW2 style.

I really hope they plan to have alternative leveling zones and alternative means of character leveling. 

Just keeping the hype level in check here. I'm hoping the crafting system knocks my socks off, cause otherwise from what I've seen, looks pretty GW2ish which I just didn't catch on to.

 More or less like anything else in the entertainment industry, you have to wait and see for yourself. 

 If ten of your friends come home and tell you that the new Batman movie was the best yet, and you are going to love it like you have never loved a movie before...you are going to go that movie all jacked up and ready for an amazing experience....only to find it is just another Batman movie...good movie, but just a movie. 

 If you went to that same movie before everyone got your hopes up, it would have seemed like a great movie. and you would have been the one going around telling all of your friends what a great movie it is. 

 Keep your hopes, dreams,assumptions, and expectations to a minimum, and you will probably enjoy any game more then you do after coming here and reading everyone elses opinions. 

 I practice what I preach and it allowed me to really enjoy Guild Wars 2, andI expect it will be the same for Elder Scrolls Online.....unless it has a subscription fee...then I will most likely stop playing after the beta.
