It's pretty much p2w, but actually quite fun. And if you have a bunch of friends to play with you'll probably outplay the p2w people.

It's worth checking out, I mostly stopped playing because the game was fuck all broken for my friend.

Game will be released this year, what you see in beta is most of what you'll see at launch. Can't use this excuse all the time.

That's major bullshit, the test client does not represent the full game. You don't put out a massive client just to test specific things. Or do you happend to know what their focus tests are focusing on? Exactly.

The beta client is nowhere near the full game, every beta can look like shit and a week before release the update everything from graphics to animation to sound assest to fonts etc.

Unless you have proof of how they are working, I suggest you wait before making your judement.

The game is really sloppy overall, and stupidly obscure when it really doesn't have to. Contracts come to mind, like they are trying to encourage exploration but all they are adding to is a bunch of tedium where I constantly have to tab out and google shit. Atleast mark out point of intrest or something, the map is horrible. It's kind of like the old journal in Morrowind, I don't need a fucking arrow pointing the way but atleast give me a good description of what I'm supposed to do. Then there was the crap with the raider masks, 90% of all raiders wear gas mask but only one type counts for progress.

Other than that I'm actually enjoying the game, more fun than not tbh.

Most of the people I played WoW with had never played an MMO before and everyone was loving the shit out of Tarren Mill while I personally felt like I was participating in some form of paralympic hand-ball match at which point I asked my self wheter my friends were retarded or something. No incentive what-so-ever, just back and forth zerging.

DAoC remains the king of PvP, if Camelot Unchained can live up to that then I'm all for it. Camelot Unchained will be PvP and crafting only for the record.

To answer 1. and 2. There is already money in the project, it will happen wheter or not it gets kickstarted or not. But if it gets kickstarted there is 2 million dollars more for them to improve the game with, if people are intrested enough and want to see that happen, why not?

So MJ will basically put more money into it wheter on not it gets kickstarted. The rest... Well we'll just have to wait and see. I doubt they'll just cancel the project and run away, I'd even assume that's illegal.

You've clearly never played a three faction game.  

 

The third faction balances the unbalance of two factions.  Since one is always more popular than the other.  If one faction is strong, the two weaker factions balance it out.  Midgard was usually the least populated due to ugly races, however, I never had a problem taking keeps or finding a good fight.  I'm seen first hand, two factions temporarily forming an alliance to knock the stronger faction down a peg or two.

 

Just because WoW did it, doesn't mean that it's the best.  

Really? :) Midgard was always the middle pop faction in on the EU servers, but I suppose that's thanks to the Scandinavians I guess.

But yeah underdogs balance it out, that's the idea anyways but you can always fuck it up like in GW2.

Did you really play DAoC? The little guy usually waited for the right moment while the middle faction was thinning out the Zerg and then the underdogs came in for the clean up. That happend alot.

There is a very big problems in MMO's today and that's the whole balance whine, MMO's shouldn't be over-balanced, WoW was to the point where it bored me to tears.

And 2 factions has even less chance of being balanced considering population.

If you people would just learn to understand that this is a spin off taking place 1000 or years before the Elder Scrolls you know, then you too would be able to deal with it.

I wanted to play as an Imperial, can I? No, because they are the antagonists sort of seeing as how their emperor has sided with Mannimarco who in turn has struck a deal with Molag Bal.

The only thing you should take for granted is that TESO takes place in Tamriel. The rest of it is a whole different game, although I hear it's got a pretty good TES feel to it.

im actually quite hyped if they really wanna go all the way with e-sport!

Nothing wrong with e-sports, but it should be kept far away from MMO's. It simply doesn't... Blend.

DIsagree.

I prefer paying 15 bucks a month and have a mature community, not a bunch of kids playing around.

 

Also, MJ already said it's going to be Sub based, and that is one thing he isn't changing.

15 bucks a month for a mature community, did WoW teach you nothing?

The Elder Scrolls is still The Elder Scrolls, nothing is being turned into anything. It's a spin off on The Elder Scrolls series called Elder Scrolls Online, mixing parts of the Elder Scrolls series aswell as it's lore with an MMO focused on exploration and Realm vs Realm. And I'm excited to see how it all works out.

I hear the game being called a wow clone (which I think is silly in the least) and more recently and probably slightly more accurately a daoc spiritual successor that only has elder scrolls lore and nothing else in common with the IP. Now rather than this crap spilling out into every other thread I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to it. What could (within reason please) Zenimax have done to be more faithful to the IP?

They are butthurt because they like elves and their friends like lizards, basically. And because they don't know the meaning of spin-off.

I hate EA with a passion, but blame the cows being run in the farm.
