^ Pretty much this.

I've followed the vids and interviews (mind you, 90% of them are all about the lore and not the gameplay) and so far I'm disappointed. Being both an MMORPG player and one who enjoys TES games, I can't believe the direction that TESO is heading. It's certainly not the online TES game I hoped for, at least not at the moment based on what I've researched thus far. Even the visuals are a step-down from Skyrim.

The fact that this game is already in beta has me concerned and alarmed. It's usually at this development phase where changes are mere fixes and tweaks, but no longer game-changing overhauls. The game truly needs serious help to the core, but of course, what do we get? Social networking integration!

Being called a "WoW clone" isnt an insult anymore to MMOs, its just part of the initiation process now.

I think its a great idea and can only add to longevity and variety which are both important to an MMO. But anyway like I said, can't wait to get in game and will cya there Bill.

 

 

 It isnt a "new" idea...its just like DaoC...even WoW had two factions. Its the same game, just different zones as a "warrior" plays exactly the same no matter which faction you choose.

Or did you believe that a Human Paladin was a "new game" when playing a Blood Elf Paladin just because its FOR THE HORDE!

Nope. Youll get one game, chopped into 3 smaller games because you are only allowed to play in 1/3rd of it.

Imagine how much smaller WoW would have been if you couldnt get into the opposing factions zones. Not only would the game have been half the size, you could never invade their cities or attack their towns. Its like SWTOR is now...small because you cant get into half of it.

Wow has 2 factions. But it does NOTHING with them.

 

 But it still stands as a refute to what was said. Playing an alliance character after a horde character does not make it "new". Same classes on both sides, you are just in a different zone.

So TESO wil be just another themepark MMO with more zones to come (which leads to empty zones everywhere), some RvR and instanced dungeons. We all have that in many MMOs, sometimes well done, most times bad. Is that really all ? The same stuff with different skins and a new story ? I am dissapointed. :(

Looks like it could indeed go that route. Oh well, another MMO I won't be playing.

This reminds me of GW2 in so many ways lol. I hope they have extensive housing in TESO, though that's a very good way to connect people to the game over a long term, having hobby content like that is always positive.

Well I hope you dont set those hopes too high as it has been stated there will be no player housing in TESO because "Its too hard to implement in an MMO the way players want"

We don't know much...at all. My understanding is 3 way faction conflict , dungeon crawling, and crafting will be the main sources of activity.

Given Matt Firor's DAOC background...I can't wait.

You havent followed anything.. The pod casts and youtube vids of people who have actually PLAYED the game talk about game play and zero lore. You just get all your info from this site, and call it research.

The people who have played the game that have posted their thoughts say the game plays EXACTLY like TES. As a matter of fact, they said they forgot they were playing an MMO until they saw other players. Do you people research anything before you post your shit?

"What features, were you designing an Elder Scrolls Online, would you make sure to include? Let us know in the comments!"

Housing and i want to be able to marry an npc and send her home, and even player marriage too. Build crafting posts in my house, add trophies and manequins for armor sets and weapons like in Skyrim. Also i want Skyrim's companion system that wont count as a party member (swtor did it wrong here) so we can have a group of people, each one with a companion and take on harder monsters when more people are needed and not enough show up :)

Being able to interact with all npcs is a must, both peacefully and aggressively. 

No gear threadmill, crafting and enchanting is the way to get the best gears. As soon as you add gear grinding, crafting becomes useless. 

Whatever you do in the game, affects every player in some way, but for the sake of not breaking the game for others, only non-essential npcs can be killed in your game and ill see it dead in mine. Still you can interact with the environment and destroy constructions and burn trees etc. If you destroy a house you get penalized by the town Jarl, and you have to help the npcs rebuild it again or go to jail (every player can see that happening in the open world, it wont be an instanced personal story)
