Huh, I didn't know who owned them these days: "? 2013 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved." It does seem very "The Verge'd" Web 2.5ish. The way the actual review read, I thought it was much more inline with what users have rated it: 7.4, which I think is fair. My perception of the...

Ut, Did you get one of these emails before you get the password reset? I have gotten these every time I log into any account (game/forum/website) from a new computer: I have seen this a few times, even just trying to log in after patching. I may have just missed something in the sequence...

If you had played an FPS 35 hours and returned it, would it still feel right? I mean, I understand not liking the game and not continuing but the first month is almost over; retail launch was 3 weeks ago today. I am not calling you out on it but refunds at this point would be stretching it to...

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!111! ARE YOU THREATENING ME???? Sincerely, my apologies. I took that entirely the wrong way and internet-snapped back unnecessarily. At this point I think I am 28? in the Greenshade with my main and only PVP rank 2, which I got like the 2nd day of Early Access...

Does my level have anything to do with my assessment of the UI and the overall writing in the quests? Look at the items I was responding to: and tell me what my level has to do with it.

I find it endlessly fascinating that people can have such divergent views of something. Nothing in my experience leads me to complain about ESO in those regards, while I would have a number of those criticisms of Wildstar (I haven't seen the UI since the last stress test but back then it was...

That's awesome. I noticed neither of the dungeons I went to tonight in Greenshade had bots.

Holy shit some of you are giant dildos. This message is brought to you by the Stop Being A-Normous Dildos? Campaign for Sanity.

what is happening to that woman's head at the point of impact? GIS for "head confetti":

To me it plays like every other MMO lately, or at least how I play them: I solo as much as possible and group/ersatz group in PVE when I have to for a particular goal. The game feels like a reasonable translation of an Elder Scrolls game into the MMO space. I am loving that at least for the...

I mean, its the internet and you are welcome to be as hardboiled bitter as you like but Chris Roberts isn't anything like Curt or Brad. Chris has shipped tons of products, has several movie producer credits (regardless of how good they were) and is making overt, demonstrable progress with this...

Well, heellllloooo there infinite login load, how are you? No, actually I'm not doing anything tonight. Combine that with whatever bug requires me to completely quit out of the game every hour of so because my fps slows drops into the single digits and its ah-mazing. Other than the few...

So, here is the epilogue from my sordid ESO performance soap opera: -I set about building a troubleshooting matrix and went through all of the factors individually. I reset the usersettings.txt to default and then reapplyed the AMD 13.12 12/18/13 drivers, thne upgraded to the 14.13 3/18/14...

Now I just need to get my video issues straightened out. At some point in the last week, something changed such that I can't run the D3D renderer at all. I have to change SET GraphicsDriver.7 to "OPENGL" from "D3D11" to get characters to load into the game. The trouble with this is it looks...

So, in fairness to ZOS, as it turns out, something in the Comcast infrastructure has totally grudge-pounded my upload speeds; still 60Mbps down, ranging from 3 Mbps down to 300Kps up, down from 12Mbps normally. When I started bitching about crashes, I am betting that is the main culprit...

To reply to my own post, I finally found something that let me log in: Although my framerate is down from 60FPS to 40FPS (this is after a video card upgrade in the middle of all this just because, from a 7970 to a 290), and visibly worse graphics, with that change I can now load all the way into...

Well, after redownloading the game, moving the installs around to different drives, trying all of the tricks in all the threads I can find, I can't log in at all, under any circumstances. 20+ crashes, some at the launcher, most trying to load any characters, including newly created ones, into...

So, just now had 6 straight crashes at various points, a couple times just hitting play on the launcher, a few times trying to load in my character. I am redownloading all 50 frigging gigs to see if that improves the experience; right now its easily the least stable since my first beta weekend...

I try to make up for it by giving Draegan straight cash. Premium blend ftw!

Hopefully they can fix the LLAAAAAAAG that I was seeing. It may be whatever MITM issue they are seeing could be the cause of that as well. Is that really a thing, dev/programmers acting as DBAs? What kind of tomfoolery/shenanigans is that?

At this point, I wouldn't put it past them that someone forgot to remove it from the first play, or some prototype legalese makes them have it upfront the first time but then no more. Who knows? The game doesn't seem generally unplayable; when I am on, while lots of people are complaining...

Not that I doubt Tidbit but before you start admitting things, can anyone else confirm this? Because I don't buy this, really. I am not going to download 50gb to prove him wrong but I would like to phone a friend or anyone else really who sees this. Or screenshots, etc.

OMG the evening lag is sooooo frustrating. Nothing like 5+ min of fighting, then everyone in combat stopping, then disconning, the coming back to the Anchor beaten with no reward. Multiply that times multiple resource captures in Cyrodiil. Or the final fight of a quest (rescuing Merric), when...

I am seeing some server stability issues. It isn't as close to as stable as GW2 was, and is close to where TSW was at launch, although TSW was better, too, at least for me. I haven't seen the terrible lag I saw last night but I have had way more crashes in the last 3 days than I had in all of...

Annnnnd down goes Frasier!

2:30AM here and I was able to set Dawnbreaker as my home campaign just now.

Damn, its been good so far but right now I am hitting some long laaaag spikes, which wouldn't be that much of an issue, except the reactive combat doesn't work so well when the NPCs are server-side and still doing shit while you are frozen and unresponsive. I took my Orc Sorc to 8 and then...

He's talking about templates, etc sold in the store, obviously.

GMG is well-established and awesome; have no fears.

If that is what FTC looks like now, I am ok with the changes. Also, after watching him beat all those people, I may roll a Nightblade for Cyrodiil rather than a Sorceror.

Some of the comments made by posters in this thread are "monumentally stupic". Your guild(s) store can be accessed from any bank in the world. Its nothing close to a real AH but since you can join up to 5 guilds per character, I imagine something will come along that allows this, either by...

I will leave the prognosticating to Ut but I think that everything works great for the 5-day start, sags with the 3-day start, and then a wheel may come off at Retail launch. There are going to be way less Imperial editions and ZOS-store bought copies than pre-orders and then day-of's.

SWG was the same way. "I thought putting the login on a webpage was genius! What do you mean we didn't built a big enough webserver?" Almost no one played the entire first day. I took off the 31st and the 1st. I was ordered to take some time; if it works out I get to play ESO, all the better.

Not that I in any way support the vast majority of the API changes but they have, indeed, on occasion, listened. Look at the changes in the start of the game, with the tutorial optional after the first run-through and then going directly to the alliance's major city, making the starter islands...

I have already expressed how WoW addons became so required that on several attempts to restart playing, I gave out trying to figure which I needed. And they were needed, because the default UI was(is?) so bad; it could be that bad because Blizz outsourced real improvements to the community at...

In this area, I will say that for Champions Online, early access was fun and as great as the beta had been, then there was a retail launch day-0 patch that nerfed the living hell out of everything, completely breaking some archetypes and power sets. Word on the street was that some late-comer (...

Seriously, STFU and GTFO with the SHILL!!!!11!! BS. It was stupid and lame when it was all the rage before, and it still is. The same cast of folks on both sides hasn't really changed that much, other than a few folks who were on the fence pre-ordering and then changing their minds when the...

Meh. If they fix the quest spawning issue, then it will be fine. The API change and XP nerf are somewhat regrettable, if only from a philosophical point of view that overnerfing and trying to force gameplay down set paths as guiding principles suck. If that is how they are going to run the...

Not that I would buy it for TESO but I liked TSW enough that I bought a lifetime sub for it. Such a great game! GW2 and TSW are different reflections of best-in-current gen MMOs. Hearts, as most will probably know, were added very late to GW2 after feedback and concern that WoW players...

It doesn't shock me in the slightest that they didn't have all the hardware online the last beta weekend; its way more overhead to handle a larger farm of infrastructure and software, particularly when all of that data and those databases are going to get blown away and have to be rebuilt...
