    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This. That's the part that makes me doubt most of this study. Companies like Trion and Zenimax that aren't owned by stockholders and have never shared this kind of info with the public generally all of a sudden opened up their books and somehow "worked" with these guys (their claim), yet...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    My only question is where are they getting this data from? Rift has been out since 2011 and not once has Trion ever released sub numbers or revenue streams to my memory, even when it was clear the company was doing gangbusters back in the day. I find it highly unlikely that they'd open up now...

    lol this guy... Okay, you're right. I totally don't understand any of this and I and read it super slow as directed.. probably I am just looking to quit and continue playing FFXIV.

    You really hate WoW that much to keep bringing it up? I don't even know what to say to that. The odds of getting a four slotted Blue are really good, huh? No. You could/can end up with just as much shitty two and three slot Blue as shitty two and three shot Purple. I still don't understand you...

    PUGs will always be PUGs, no matter what loot table is put in. This game isn't set up for PUGs nor will ever be. Seems to me that's been done by design (Carbine seems to really push tight guild/group behavior ala FFXIV). I really can't imagine a 40 man PUG in this game and will never try that...

    See that word you typed? It doesn't mean "only". It still affects Adventures however you want to phrase it.. 5% or 50. And Yanger assumed I was confused. I clarified in a follow up post I was not. Please stop trying to explain to a moron like me how having a 15% nerf on purples for...

    You've got it right. So do I. Because those areourexperiences. Voldeth is obviously having some other orgasmic thing altogether. I like WildStar, I really do. Healing on an Esper is pretty fun. The housing shit I don't care for but usually don't in most games because it gets sappy after...

    Download took 5 minutes, update took about 30. Kid's in the game right now bopping around and giggling. Watched him punch guys in the grill, then shoot them with a .357 and that's pretty tight. Reminds me of the Smuggler in TOR kicking people in the jewels. Overall, it looks pretty fun. I'll...

    Personally, I might shelving this game for now. I don't think I want to put forth my best effort for an increased chance of lower tier drops. That really doesn't make sense to me. Adventures/Dungeons were a good way for me to work at it because I could log in, heal up even PUG runs that could...

    Right now, no company is putting more content into their MMO than Square Enix. No one. There is so much that diversity in it that you're bound to like something. They just released Frontlines for PvP and while it's nowhere near as great as PVP from say, DAoC it's a nice breakup...

    You don't grind gil in the game now. That shit is old school.

    Do you even have the max Dom/Exile rep yet? Gotta get that too! Gotta catch 'em all! Dungeons at 50 are the only thing worth any challenge still. People only do Vet Adventures because they are either attuning (silver/gold) or trying to get gear. By Vet level no one runs them for 'fun'...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Based on what usually happens in games, that is entirely possible. It could very well be they listened to the loud minority of players who post like crazed idiots on just about every game forum. It wouldn't be the first time an mmo went down the tubes for listening to those few that scream...

    Agree. Two 50s in this game is bad enough to level through (esp if you're doing Paths/Crafting on both). It's pretty tedious doing both even if you split factions. The game doesn't exactly shine on the leveling end. The bigger problem he faces I think is having two 50s at endgame because...

    C'mon man. TESO's gonna sell millions more units in console sales and subs along with them, updates months from now will be completely and radically awesome... TESO's future is awesome. *actual T-Shirt included with every pre-ordered ESO console "Imperial City" edition for an extra $20.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I get your point, and there most certainly will be 'some sales' on consoles. But you are under some delusion that there are several hundred thousand CONSOLE players just sitting around waiting for a finished version of TESO that they can pay $30-60 for (who knows) and then push a monthly sub...

    Neither. Queues pop very fast. You won't be waiting for more than 10 minutes in any role you choose. Even DPS don't sit around for long in this game waiting. Pug groups actually need more competent DPS than anything else imo. Tanks are easy to heal (most of the time healers are healing DPS...

    Well the official word was 'end of the year' (Bethesda's vice president of PR and marketing Pete Hines). The unofficial word and what most people seem to think is 2015. The great thing though is this: So according to him if you wanted it on console before but couldn't, you can just go ahead...

    You mean Rune Fragments will get cheap? Yay. Going through a lot of gear upgrades is wearing me out of runes having to replace them out. Base Rune Fragments cost more than most of the higher tier ones.

    Nope. "It will ruin the economy" or whatever bullshit excuse they came up with (even though several other major mmos do this already). You can't even send stuff to your alt on the same side I don't believe. If the grind to 50 and Attunement isn't enough to make someone not want to roll alts...

    Exactly. "tons of players jammed in zones"probably is nothing more than an accurate copy of the town of Rock Ridge for all we know. I know one thing, I don't see very many people talking about ESO anymore anywhere. Not blogs, not trademags, very little chatter.

    Precisely, which is why I said it'll do far less than that ending up probably average but far better than TESO's dismal performance.

    Not really. It's weird but I'm finding my Esper is extremely resilient when getting hit and I don't have any gear on other than three blues, and none of them have runes. The DPS seem to get hit a lot harder than me on the same kind of stuff, mainly because I think a lot are making glass...
