This. Also it is not a scam. Most people buy Diablo games to complete them 100 times.

I know, pretty weird when you think about it.  I mean doing the exact same thing over and over, good thing MMORPG's aren't anything like that. 

Elderquest: The World of Scrollcraft

I just don't understand what the heck relation THIS game has to the Elder Scroll series besides the brand name and the skins?

From my perspective they might as well have just called it "Generic Fantasy Themed MMO with names that sound kinda familiar to you."

That's a waste of a well established IP....and frankly seems like a cheap attempt to cash in existing Brand Recognition.

I agree somewhat, but I disagree with you on a few things.

 

1. TES series are not sandbox games, so why should an ES MMO be?

 

2. The three faction PvP system sounds much better than FFA.

 

I could care less that it's going to play a lot like your standard themepark, what angers me is that it's doing away with FPV, twitch combat, housing, free form character progression and probably a whole lot more. It could still be a fun game, whether or not I decide to give it a go will depend on a few things, once being payment model.

It is a sandbox. You can go out and do as you wish. You can slaughter a town, take over someones house. The main quest is only a portion of whats there to do.

Sandbox is a virtual world with an assortment of things for you to choose to do when you want to do them. Creating your own content is only one aspect of a sandbox and not an aspect all sandboxes share.

It's nice to see people trying to suddenly declare the TES series a themepark lol.

What your talking about is an open world. Being able to roam freely and do what you want is not a sandbox. It doesn't matter what games people want to label as a sandbox, the very word sandbox implies creation. Therefore, every sandbox game should rely heavily on player created content, something which TES has never done.

It amazes me what people try to label a themepark. No, after all these years the TES series has not magically been reclassified as a themepark lol. Sorry man, you may feel differently but it is called and accepted as a sandbox due to the open world. You may not like it or agree with it but apparently your opinion isn't the widely accepted one.

An open world is a type of video game level design where a player can roam freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in choosing how or when to approach objectives.^[1] Video games that include such level design often are referred to as "free roam" games.

The term is sometimes used interchangeably with "sandbox" and "free-roaming";^[2][3] however, the terms open world and free-roaming describe the game environment itself and allude more to the absence of artificial barriers,^[4] in contrast to the invisible walls and loading screens that are common in linear level designs. The term sandbox refers more to the mechanics of a game and how, as in a physical sandbox, the user is entertained by his ability to play creatively and with there being "no right way"^[5] of playing the game.

DeWe're ready to come up whenever you guys are. Figured maybe after you were finished your school year.spite their name, many open world games still enforce restrictions at some points in the game environment, either due to absolute game design limitations or temporary in-game limitations (such as locked areas) imposed by a game's linearity.

 

Hell here I'll even give you the above, a wikipedia refference on the matter.

Grand Theft Auto is widely considered a sandbox

UO

TES series

I mean you aren't required to agree but you do need to acknowledge your view on what a sandbox is not the widely accepted one. In accepting that you can see why your comments above are being regarded as incorrect.

First a real gem:

---

The game will also use a hotbar to activate skills like many classic MMOs and will vissually resemble other current online multiplayer games, including "Star Wars: The Old Republic."

---

oh.. kay what else:

---

Players will not be able to transform themselves into werewolves or vampires and there will be no flying mounts, player housing, non-playable character (NPC) romance or marriage, and no dragons in the upcoming game.

---

and:

---

the game will use genre standards like classes and experience point based leveling up.

---

but wait it gets better:

---

"Elder Scrolls Online" will feature raids and heroic mode for its dungeons

---

Surely that's all the bad news... what... oh god make it stop:

---

The combat system will not play out in real time. Instead it will be based on a stamina bar, allowing the player to sprint, block, interrupt or break incapacitating effects.

---

 
There's no sadface that can properly describe this, if it's true.
