    That wasn't the point I was making that Vitality was agreeing with. The PvP is irrelevant to the argument that Cryodill is a better MMO experience. If you took the PvP out of Cyrodill, the very basic philosophies of it's design inherently foster a better MMO. Level agnostic content, lack of...

    The irony of TESO is that their game already has the answer to it's PvE problem. It's essentially Cryodill. If they had based TESO PvE on using the same philosophies that can be found in Cryodill, it would have been a pretty awesome MMO. Since levels are agnostic in Cryodill, progression and...

    If you can't see the inherent problems with fixed levels being the primary source of progression in a MMO, then I can't help you. It's been covered ad nauseam on this site and the former. I don't have the time nor patience to walk you through it. Essentially though, the only reason levels are...

    Actually, it's completely possible to have the same progression in TES games in a MMO. Saying otherwise is just another example of giving the developers a pass for being lazy. Using Darkfall, Ultima Online, and (to a degree Guild Wars) as a baseline you could build a MMO based on skills...

    "At this point in the evolution of MMOs, every MMO has tried something at one point or another that you're going to do in your game. There aren't any more truly innovative features."- Matt Firor ...and that is how you end up with this Elder Scrolls masterpiece.

    Exactly, TESO does a lot of things that were cutting edge six to ten years ago. Who's going back WoW? I must have missed that, but I could understand that. The things that TESO and WoW share, WoW does better. What's really chuckle worthy is the people who say SWTOR is more fun. It is mediocre...

    Of course I did. However, the advent of more interactive combat has caused me to move on. I understand why a lot of people enjoy it though, it's a great game. For all of its flaws, Guild Wars 2 is the best MMO on the market. TSW and WoW are close behind. A large interactive world, challenging...

    There are plenty of reasons to criticize TESO. However, the people who compare it to SWTOR just baffle me. That game was terrible and boring in almost every sense, from combat to quests. Yet, TESO is terrible and SWTOR was fun? Give me a fucking break.

    Actually... you are. Just because it's a different way, doesn't mean it's not the same tried and true model. To quote Mr. Plinkett, "You may not have noticed it, but your brain did." At a micro level, TESO provides the illusion of exploration by hiding what most people would consider quest...

    But it's not like your saving blue haired grandmas from being fleeced of their life savings here. I'm buying it fully, as well as a few others, expecting not to get more than 2 months out of it. Problem is, this game has been setup as the biggest clusterfuck this side of Vanguard and it is...

    Great changes! Two of those are things I was really hoping they would add/improve upon. I never thought they'd ever add Collision Detection into the game.

    That's my assessment of the game as well. However, I have found the PvP to be pretty entertaining.

    I agree it is a pretty mediocre game. That being said, it's better than SWTOR.

    This is going F2P. There is just too many examples of F2P transitions in recent history (SWTOR, Rift, TERA, EQ2, LOTRO, DDO, AOC, etc.) that I don't see a scenario where it isn't F2P within 24 month of release. It's not to be construed as a negative either, as there have been games that have...

    From what I've played, it's not a good PvE game and I don't think that is a minority view. The PvP portion is fun. The fact there is a sub is almost insulting since we have yet to see their post launch roadmap. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings. Hug?

    I want to believe you, but unlike some of the lemmings around here I desire proof. Utnayan could also step up if he wasn't too busy playing both sides.
