    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Huh, maybe selective memory for me. I don't remember too much that impeded my leveling in that game, especially Fates. The Fates themselves were separate from quests so they were optional anyways; you could run right by that NPC yelling "Help Me" and continue the questline or some other hub...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I thought TESO was about a 5/10, but that was because I'm following this questline see, getting all into the story and.. nope. Can't save that chick because she's not there. Okay.. log a few times, try again. Nope. Move onto the next quest (like you suggested). Raz the Black Panther runs up to...

    No they won't, and no it won't. You know why? ""We will make sure that no matter where you live, every player in North America, Europe, Oceania and many places beyond, will have a polished, lag-free launch experience. It'll already be great and fixed in about 16 days. /chuckle...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Told ya. They got some rabids in that bunch who can't see anything... working as intended and all that. The best since TOR. Or Warhammer even. I mean, I like TOR but those people are insane and will defend it with their lives. Same type of crowd. They won't have any problems selling boxes and...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Maybe they did figure it all out at Zenimax and the launch will be 'lag free' and 'polished'. I don't know. My only thing is someone I don't know from Adam to tell me 'it's all good' and then me running out to buy it, especially when the version I just played was supposed to be the one the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I've been reading people on forums telling those who ask what you asked: "Oh, you're just playing on the old build. There's a lag-free and polished build on the PTS they haven't shown yet". The replies? "Cool, I'll pre-order then." Seriously.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Haven't you heard? Bethesda promises 'lag-free' launch for Elder Scrolls Online Not only will it be completely polished, but there will be NO lag. Matt Firor stamped and approved. Meh. Those are most fence sitters. This game will have enough people to go for awhile I think... reading the...

    Going to pre-order, but I can already tell those colors have the capability to give me an epileptic fit over time. I'm going to have to fiddle with the hue, darken up the screen or something because I don't want it that neon constantly. The art style doesn't bother me much. Neither do all the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I don't know who these people were that were saying the combat in this game is hard. I never played this game before Friday, fucked around all Saturday with learning what stuff was and getting through buggy quests, and Sunday ended up Level 12 killing/farming Level 17 shit with average gear...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Totally see your point, sir. I would have suggested if you were only playinganygame for less 8 hours a month WITH your friends, it probably wasn't worth a $13 a month sub either, and definitely not a $15/sub most charge unless you were financially able to hang onto them without blinking. If it...

    I want the gilded magitek mount. That says 500 people liked you at least once. I got 8 mounts right now (no Nightmare).

    Idk who these people are, but it's MMO 101 these days when pugging... learn what you can and fake the rest. Really when pugging, you have to pretend it's the last lifeboat leaving the Titanic and you're a 'doctor'. The main thing is getting in the group. Not getting in won't help you at all...

    SE said they had 500k daily playing the game, but indicated they had more people subbed but not actually logging in 'daily' (1.8 mil or something). I wouldn't doubt a few servers need to be trimmed in order to compensate for Launch Day Madness, but based on how SE did things with FFXI I wouldn't...

    Water under the bridge man. I'm not defending the game after being an abused 1.0 player; just hoping to bring facts whenever I can to a discussion without it getting all medieval and shit. Whatever skepticism or grudge people hold over SE after that is well justified. But yeah, it's opinion...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I would say this, but with the caveat PvPers should get it right away, there's no reason for them to wait at all. I already know where I stand on this at launch after this weekend. Lana from "Archer" says it best so I won't try. That said, it's got 'potential' like has been said about just...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Well, if you pick out only the small stuff like you just did to make it seem that's what that huge patch is all about.. yeah, that would be a sucky patch. 9/10 mmos "minimalize the older content as they create the new". The best you can hope for out of older content these days are reworked...

    Open your Urn thingy (has your name on it in inventory), then go to a stable in the town and they rent you a Imp horse for 1 gold.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This actually seems the fastest way to level, mixed in with the main line when it's working from what I can tell. They have plenty of mobs and they drop a whole lot better items than the quests reward anyways. Plus less running around, just park in a dungeon/cave and kill away. I like story...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This. It's basically two hours you can't get back. Sure you can 'do it later', but if you want to do it right from jump, why can't you? It's supposed to be about choice. At least they should tell people why they aren't letting you do that.. someone buying the game and going through that will...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Played off/on about 7 hours yesterday. I'm STILL not out of the noob zone and by that I mean 1-10. What the hell is wrong with this game, lol? Even when you ding a level, that takes like.. a full minute for the game to tell you everything you leveled up and all the points you got in...

    ArcheAge NA will get half of those ESO bangers later on. Just hope and pray you get the good half.

    No thanks. You can keep all those dots, lines and shit on your screen.

    Archeage

    My money is on they do just that. The reason being is that TESO is definitely going to lose people, how many is anyone's guess. But I think ArcheAge will be the only game in direct competition to TESO style-wise when it comes here, it's simply more like that than anything released in the past...

    Nice read, thanks for that. Definitely pre-ordering to see what's going on there and what they possibly can/can't do in 3 months time. Ditto.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Yeah, that's why I said I'm pre-ordering. First hand experience. I just wanted a little more direct comparison other than 'Whaaaaaa! It's slow!" from people who tried both games. That crying shit people do tells me nothing really.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    From everything I've seen, they both don't even have to compete with each other. TESO will be shit and everyone will leave if the RvRvR doesn't work out (90 day locks, dominations, etc) and WS will be shit and everyone will leave if the raiding doesn't work out (Too many flashes warnings...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Last few pages, I've seen people saying the combat in WildStar is slow.Reallyslow. Dinosaur slow. Along with the leveling. As someone who is planning on pre-ordering WS and currently playing FFXIV (which I like), anyone know how it stacks up vs the slow combat in FFXIV? (it is slow) Just...

    Now I'm more interested in seeing what happens than I was before. Shit just got all braggy. Gonna keep my eye on this. Elder Scrolls monthly content will go beyond 'a new sword or a funny hat'

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I'm in. Haven't played the beta yet. I like they dropped the NDA this far out, you know.. like a typical release is supposed to do. That shows confidence that these big problems that I've been reading are under their control.. at least in their minds. Plus it seems like a reasonable amount of...

    This is pretty much the norm for mmos nowadays. I don't know of any company that tells people why they suspect them and doesn't take this route generally. I don't think they'll miss him much though. They recently said they have 500k players daily.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This is an interesting question because I just got done watching Angry Joe's updated review about TESO. If you saw the first one, he was pretty down on TESO but hadn't done the PvP content at all, just the PvE. In his updated "PvP review" video, he did almost a 180. He claims that the...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    I know what you mean about getting the idea out how you want it. I remember this set from an old Jerry Lewis movie and want to incorporate this sense of scale in some kind of way for an interior somehow, just not so provincial-looking. It also drives me nuts that whatever type of steps I...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Agreed but as you said, it won't stop them from complaining. I remember in TOR people would get killed by someone in Tatooine and then complain that Bioware sucked because they didn't want to get ganked. People would reply "Just toggle the PvP off and they can't kill you". Then a half-hour...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Yeah this kind of goes with what I mean. If it's toggled, then the person who is a TES purist turns this off since they don't have that kind of 'ugly number display' in the series (from what I remember). So he's playing 'immersed' in first person. But by doing that, he now can't see what...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    You mean like this: That doesn't really look "TES"-y. Maybe they don't think it would fit their theme very well and turn off the faithful.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Really? Then someone should tell the EQL team that they aren't supposed to be talking to it's players. I've never seen a team so eager to not shut up about what they want to do and what you think about it. But you did say 'usually' so I guess that covers it.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    I hope I don't get a plot next to someone like that. The way I built stuff I'll look like that last holdout who wouldn't sell his shack to that developer so they could finish the block off. If I do end up next to someone that skilled, I'll have to build some underground/subterranean shithole.

    Hmm.. That poll looks legit. Looks like one man, one vote. 492- yes. 664- no. 346- Could give a shit. Besides, there's no way for a Massively poll to be fucked. Oh wait...Manipulatable polls are manipulated.
