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.

if that is true i will be playing it for years to come. sorry but DAOC was one of the best MMORPGs EVER so saying its DAOC 2 in Tamriel is a compliment.

Hype. Means nothing to me.

I do hope I get into the beta though.

If crafting is an important part of this game,  which it wasn't for Rift or GW2, then they have my attention. However, I'm still hesitant to get too hyped until I see some meaningful info and gameplay.

this guy worked on UO.  His boss worked on DAOC.  Crafting is extremely important in both thoose games and the TES single player series,  I think crafting will have a larger slice of the pie than in your typical wow style mmo.

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.

I like a lot of what I'm reading about the game, but I, too, would rather have PVP in all zones. At least they could put in a WOW-like flagging system where you couldn't initiate a fight in the two enemy territories unless the enemy was flagged for PVP, but you could, of course, attack them in your own homeland or in Cyrodil.

The fact that you can't even visit the enemy territories is a bit disappointing. Almost guarantees I'd roll three characters from the get go. :)

As of now, this is my one big beef with the game. Maybe along with "no aggro tanking", if I heard that right.

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.

also add NO RIVALRY.  I just got killed by random nameless dude from some unknown guild from that server we happen to be randomly paired with this week.

Theres no real reason to control the map in planetside 2 either, but i find it way way more enjoyavble than wvw as I have rivals and best enemies.

This game will be the suprise hit of 2013.

Feel free to quote me in future ;j

I expect it to be torn to shreads here like all the past MMO's. People seem to feed on saying negative things about any game. Beta was just annouced and the trash talk started and will continue.

I for one am looking forward to ESO.

Well, they're making it sound better and better, I was leery at first but everything he's said intrigued me.

Course, that could just be his job.

My hype level goes up every time someone mentions DAoC in a TESO thread :( I can't control it damnit.

Same here. I am trying my best not to get hyped up over TESO but everytime Daoc is brought up, wonderful memories of Pre- ToA come to mind and the years of fun I had with a great RvR game that had the best community ever in an mmorpg.

ha! Yes, one of the main deciding factors for me liking TESO will be the RvR system. I hope it's similar to DAOC.

Getting a straight answer from this guy is like nailing jello to the wall.

I would get annoyed with this shit if I were Mr. Murphy.

Oh geez..  PvP centered MMO, here we go again!

I'll check back in when they add 'open world' guild or player housing.  I'm sick and tired of the WoW treadmill that is nearly every AAA MMO developed in the past decade.

One ray of hope for me is when talking about factions and guilds. Anyone else pick up on the lack of confirmation about being able to join another faction's guild?

If I were to hope beyond hope it would be that they are introducing a way to leave your faction and join anothersomehow, maybe some sort of betrayal quest or similar system to choose to join another faction...or perhaps some sort of spy system....lets hope as the rest of the game sounds like it could be cool, just the faction restrictions are really bugging me. Sort that out and I will be a little happier...

They have asymmetrical factions for a reason.
