It says default will be open multiplayer and feel much like a traditional MMO. Sounds at least as much MMO as GW1 or that Hellgate game. We called those MMO's didn't we? Or maybe not. Anyway, I love Lord British (fuck you haters!) and Ultima. I remember taking over towns in Ultima 3 - you...

Well, in that case, you should go here:The Elder Scrolls Official Site You're not hardcore unless you've played through ES: Arena!

You certainly have me at a disadvantage, sir, knowing so much about me! Actually, I'm a pretty busy professional, and the idea that Draegan was counting on me to keep a certain amount of posts going on TESO Junkies every week was always in the back of my mind. I didn't like that feeling...

Zing! Youch!

Did I use the wrong word for you? I quit? I hung up my spurs? I threw in the towel? I stopped writing for? You get the idea, I hope...

It was actually pretty close to the feeling I want, but I'm not going to let you bait me into busting the NDA wide open. PS - I resigned from TESO Junkies a couple weeks ago. My life is pretty busy, and the time I have to devote to gaming, I'd rather be actually gaming or busting some nerd's...

Nah, I just loved DAOC. If cyrodiil brings back that feeling, it's all I would need. That doesn't mean it would be a great mmo for other people's tastes. So, people start calling you out on your batshit crazy ranting, and your response is to try the old shill card again. Cool strategy.

Their website sucks. Their marketing sucks, and I agree that they better have higher level betas before release. That said, if they do cyrodiil right, that's all the content I'll need from 10+

Utnayan, you keep listing your opinions. That's great. We get it. Let the rest of us form our own opinions about: combat, crafting, graphics, animation, immersion, quests, exploration, pvp, cyrodiil, etc. I don't give a shit about the behind the scenes bullshit. Every company has drama. It's...

I know for a fact that they have higher level content. Probably not polished. I would imagine they'll be expanding the beta level range at a steady pace. More importantly, people will get to evaluate systems like combat and pvp and graphics and animations. This will allow for some more...

At least, after this weekend, more people will have informed opinions.

uh...k? So, if anyone's an ES nerd, you might enjoy:http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/map/tamriel

What will your name be, Utnayan? I wanna say hi.

Lol, yeah - "Hey how can we hide how shitty our game is and keep people from talking about it? I know! Invite them all into beta!" You are a nut.

This is a big wave of invites; everyone I know who applied got invited this weekend. It'll be interesting to see how the server handles it.

Should just be one.

Yeah, should be a fun weekend. I gotta say, their marketing sucks. This game has shit for buzz. Been a couple weeks since I've even really thought about ESO. That can't be good, right? Hopefully they start ramping up their official channels, showing us they're really gonna be ready in a few months.

I like the idea of being able to make stuff, but I'm not excited about playing in a giant, cartoon lego universe where people can build space shuttles in the middle of the forest. How does this appeal to RPG players? Must have a different target audience than old ass RP gamers like me.

I want to like this. The graphics reminded me of Mount & Blade, the animations looked really rough. It definitely had a nice NOT WOW vibe. Hope they pull it off. Yeah, it looks rough.

Delicious!

It is a fan site!

Finally got some answers for our Q&A. Not everything was answered. Not all the answers are satisfying. Some of the answers are pretty decent, and at least they are aware of us. I hope they listen to some of the feedback from sites like this as well as from rabid fans on the Bethesda forums...

On another note, they haven't had any outside beta going on for over a month. (Publicly available inference I made by looking here:Sign In - Elder Scrolls Online) Wonder what they are up to?

Uh that's not an official video. It's some fansite speculating with a cobbled together video of footage released over the last 1.5 yrs. Thought that was pretty obvious. Just saying. ..

Shadowbane was fun, in spite of its many many flaws.

I had fun in daoc because the zone was big enough to avoid the zerg. It was fun to prey on zerg stragglers too. Cyrodiil has potential for this sort of game play, and their stated goals are that there will be good reasons to pve there. I'm not dumb, however, so I'll wait to see the final version...

Eh, I kinda agree that they need to keep campaign placement as permanent as possible. Hopefully they are listening, and either come up with something genius or change their plan a bit.

What if they make the transfer cost Alliance points? Like more than they'd get if their Alliance won? What if they put something like a month long timer on transfers? What if they say you need to have x alliance rank to join the super cool veteran campaign? I mean, there are ways they could be...

So, there are a bunch of skill lines. Like class skill lines, race skill lines, armors, weapons, guild(s), pvp, werewolf, lycanthrope, veteran, etc. So, hundreds of skills. As you gain proficiency in a given skill, it comes to a point when you get to "morph" the skill. You make a choice...

Kind of pertinent to recent conversation, ZOS answered some of our more general questions in their recent "ask us anything." I briefly discussed some of the answers here:TESO Junkies. The pertinent part is here: (emphasis is mine) Kinda what I said, but maybe worded better or differently...

I'm glad to see your affection has found a new target, since Khalid rebuffed your attentions.

This sounds good, and I hope it can deliver. That's quite a way's off, though. Wizardry Online sounded really good to me too, before I saw it in action. Of course we've seen a lot more screens/video of this one, so at least we know that visually it's nice.

Yeah, I think that was the idea behind the suggestion for choosing handedness or movement style; they'd show no matter what. I guess this sort of thing would be pretty resource intensive, and would really only matter to a small percentage of players. Systems that allow for you to wear outfits...

Yeah, that's a good point - I don't hate anyone here. Sometimes I get a little wound up, but I'm trying to keep it in perspective. I, too, think I could enjoy a beer with any of you nerds. Think of the amazing forum war stories we could share! On topic - DMK, I looked at that video you...

Of those I only played AOC. I'll have to refresh my memory on that. I'll search YouTube later.

It does look great... the character creation graphics + options are the best of any mmo I have seen, but I missed a few that supposedly had tons of options like SWG.

Khalid, they have said combat logs will be possible through UI mods, if it's not in base client.

Nothing I said was wrong.

With consoles in, if it's half decent, they'll probably pull a billion within 6 months.

Cool, dude.
