Redguard.
Hopefully they change their minds and I won't be restricted by class. They should look at how eve and tsw handle character progression a much better fit for a tes mmo |

Originally posted by kevjards They're not closet fans, they're blatant fans. Most of them even say how much of a TES fan they are. And then how much that ESO has ruined their hopes for a good TES MMO. Reading is useful. |

But they are wrong when they say its like swtor or wow. It's not like tes either.
Most things they've said make it sound like daoc with a smattering of gw2 (combat) and tes itself (crafting) |

Originally posted by ShakyMo I agree. Frankly, I doubt there is sufficient time or money left to make any meaningful design changes at this point. It is clear that is game is not going to appeal to the majority of ES fans, because the gameplay and systems are so far removed from the SPGs. So I guess it is an attempt to get general MMO fans to play another "clone" by using the ES name as a hook.
It is like you can see the ship heading for the iceberg, and they can't or won't turn in time. All that is left to do is wait around to see the crash.

I think if they had made a game half tes / half daoc it would have been a great mmo. I think that's the game the devs want to make. Unfortunately I think the bosses are under the impression its possible to make a 10million player cash cow by copying wow, which has worked out so well for ea on their lat couple of mmos 8p

A bright red, flying, lactating EEE succubus. Just like in Oblivion. |

Originally posted by Crazy_Stick Anything that is Melee Centric with Magic debuffing/dots/leech effects if possible. My favorite type of class. Only thing I am sad about TESO is there is its going a class based system which flys through the face of TES style games which predominantly use a classless bassed skill system. |

Originally posted by Zylaxx To be fair, TES games haven't been classless until Skyrim. However, there has always been the option to create a custom class. Classes were less of individualized professions and more of groupings of skills in various tiers of importance. Your class never locked you out of doing anything. That said, I am really not looking forward to such a rigid traditional class system, I've always used a custom class in TES games and I'd want to do the same here, balancing be damned. |

Originally posted by Entinerint Marrowind and Oblivian were both skill based. These plus Skyrim are the only TES games I played. |

Yes but with Morrowind and oblivion, you still picked a class or made your own custom "adventurer" class at the start. The skills you picked were important as it was they that levelled you.

Originally posted by ShakyMo Narp. All skills leveled you, and all skills could level with you. The difference the starting classes provided was which skills you would start off with progress in, and to a degree what you could progress more easily in.
EDIT: Should clarify that yes, major and minor skills are the only ones that progressed global level, but they were not the only things to define what stats and skills you would progress in with each level. Like if you had no specalization in melee but trained it a bunch before hitting a level, when you take the level your largest stat bonus would likely be to strength regardless of if it was one of your two selected stats. As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero. - Vaarsuvius |

They actually put classes and are still calling this "Elder Scrolls", with a straight face? ...wow. |

Healer, battlemage or sorcerer (based on Morrowind), ain't gonna happen; If my character is going to be stuck with a faction I ain't trying.I think the only faction that makes sense is the Aldmeri and that's pushing it.

I want to play what I feel like, when I feel like on the same character without having to log onto a alt. I want freedom. I want there to be a hundred skills or so and give me a finite amount of skill points but let me spread them around anyway I want. Kind of like Ultima Online's skill system.

Report and ignore the trolls. Some of us are actually looking forward to this title and I absolutely am 100% onboard with the class design implementation due to the fact any class can wield any weapon.
I myself am most interested (barring they make the cut of course) in either a Battlemage with 2H'ed Sword, a melee Monk with a QuarterStaff (would love to resurrect my DAoC Friar), a Sorcerer with a 2H'ed melee weapon (or bow) or a Witch Hunter with dual wield Axes. |

An Aldemeri mage focused on restoration who uses a bow.
What? |
