With regard to payment model: It's really low on my concerns list. I can afford some cash every month to play a game if I think it's giving me enough entertainment for my money. That's a subjective #. With regard to F2P. All I know is from experience with DDO's F2P model - I've spent over...

Sorry guys..super busy today with some training. Couple things: switching instances in cyrodil is most definitely not done "on the fly." Devs are on record saying that you can change your campaign but it will difficult, costly, and on a significant timer. This will differ from gw2, in my...

Nah.. that's 2000-2500 in the zone.. and it's a soft cap. The amount of players actually assigned to that "campaign" will more likely be something like 20-50k. OMG.. is this guy a psychic? So, wait, let me get this straight - you are predicting they have a plan to go F2P if P2P doesn't work...

First of all, Utnayan is wrong - there are static repurcussions to Cyrodil. You will be assigned to a specific instance (or what they call campaign) in Cyrodil that does not change. Every time you log in, and every time people you meet there log in, they'll be going back to that exact same...

Draegan, they've gone on and on in several interviews about "adventure zones" which are their replacement for raids. 24 man groups I think they even said. Also 4 man instanced dungeons. Also you can bet some of the open dungeons, especially in Cyrodil will be level 50+. One example...

Uh, so basically you don't know shit? First of all, if RVR were the end game, that would be PERFECT for me. It's what I'll be doing. DAOC was the best MMO ever because of that type of end game. However, secondly, you are wrong. They've stated many other types of end game activities...

Tut tut, Utnayan. Let's not leave out what has transpired since I wrote that: The devs have released some gameplay, and I've actually laid my eyes on some game footage, and I've spoken, personally, with people I trust who have played the game. Keep in mind, I just said I was skeptical, not...

Actually, Convo, I'll be more than happy to honorably admit that I was duped if this game somehow turns into the pile of shit that people here say it will be. I've followed EVERY major MMO release, and I'll admit that I was wrong about 2 of them: WAR and AOC. I was pretty spot on with regard...

Again, for the record, I disagree. Time will show who's right. Also, more on topic for the thread:

Honestly, the way they show up and post whenever I'm getting attacked, I wouldn't be surprised if they were alts of Utnayan or something, just trying to make me look bad.

While I appreciate their rather stalwart defense and find them amusing, no, they are not me. Your level of rustledness is rather elevated, bud. Relax, it's just a game forum talking about a game that isn't out yet.

Fair enough, Tarrant. I really started out posting yesterday just to say, simply, for the record that I think this game will be very good when released. I didn't intend to have to get into the back and forth of why I think it will be good, why I'm a dumb shill, why DMK wants to fuck my...

Keep posting, man, you sound really smart, and tough. How long ago, Tarrant? Just trying to compare notes.

I know lots of people who actually like ES and MMO gameplay are lurking - just do yourself a favor and try this when you can. I'm sure beta will continue to grow; I'd be surprised if there isn't an open beta around late winter. Anyone who says this game is "pure shit" is going to look like a...

I am strongly against the console ports. I don't like that the latest build doesn't have a mini-map and that they've taken name tags off of other players (can be seen in the quakecon vid.) I fucking hate bethesda's PR and their lack of a community presence (other than stupid FB posts.)...

A. I don't agree with everything I read - that's kind of the point of our argument, isn't it? You guys are mad that I didn't drink the Utnayan Koolaid or something? B. Dechire - logic isn't allowed in here!

Bro, you are sure it is lackluster and not worth your money. Cool. I don't give a shit. When more and more people get their hands on this, you will look back at my posts and realize I'm just trying to give people a heads up. This game is going to kick ass. Period. Hang in there; there might...

I can't convince you, no problem, wait til you get your hands on it, then tell me if I was right. Antarius, that's cute. Take what I said to Ambiturner, and apply to yourself. I really don't give a shit, my lad.

Only in Utnayan's most special dreams. I'm just a guy who likes ES and DAOC, and happens to be good at finding stuff out. I'm also a good critical thinker, and saw that a lot of the angst about this game was based on: bad reading comprehension, personal vendettas, and pure bullshit.

Their big player retention plan is Cyrodil - a pvp (rvr ala DAOC) zone (massive by all accounts) in which the three alliances contend for the imperial seat. They've advertised keep sieges, battles over resources like villages, mines, etc. Quests exist in this zone, as well as large open...

Well, what I'm hearing, without divulging specifics that I have promised not to do, is that once people get their actual hands on this game and see: -how smooth it is when you are actually playing it -how lovely the art is -an immersive world while enjoying combat that keeps your eyes off the...

I'm hearing good things from credible sources. I'd like to double down on my predictions that this game is going to kick ass and make Utnayan look really dumb. You know.. for the record and all.

Interesting article here:http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/1...ld-calculated/

It's been a pretty big issue among immersion type people. You know - TES fans, those pesky millions of players Zenimax is trying to court.

You never disappoint, Ut!

There are a lot of dicks on these forums, because the internet makes you tough, edgy and hardcore!

So.... You guys check out that latest ask me anything on the official website?http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/new...-live-gameplay Of particular interest:

Judging from my guildies, and RL friends, I think a lot of invites went out. Should help more people to get a real idea what its like as we near release and they keep increasing the beta #s.

I think a big part of your problem is that you are assuming from his quote that he made them useless. There's a pretty big margin between 'stupidly effective' and useless.

So, would you mind outlining how this game is a "shittier version of WoW" - everything I've read about their systems is a pretty large departure from standard MMO (wow) fare. Look, I don't have a problem with people pointing out problems with this game, but so far the only one I've seen that is...

There's nothing that's been released officially, or unofficially that make this game a "steaming pile of dogshit" - just some people on internet forums trying to sound edgy and tough. Trust me, they'll all probably be playing this on release day.

I take my sister to a lunch and movie on her birthday and come back to all these accusations. On one level, I find it rather amusing, on another, I'm worried some of you are special enough to believe I am behind all those other accounts...

Some serious paranoia in this thread. Also, I think I'm famous!

Incoming maximum verbose, damage control response from Utnayan. Something about how all the people who had hands on experience with the game also were slipped large amounts of money to lie about it. Maybe including some sort of "anonymous insider info"... in 5... 4... 3.. 2..1... Seriously...

Love the graphics in this game. Hate the Dragon Ball Z combat. Also, their engine was chunking like a mother f'er during that castle siege scene. But man... those graphics. Lovely!

Some things that irritate the shit out of me about Zenimax (Bethesda): Their official forums are run by extremely overzealous mods. Why do they close threads when they get to a few pages? Like is it really hard for some people to load big threads? That's the excuse I heard. Why don't they...

Hey, rocket scientist - I got those screenshots from the mmorpg.com article I linked. I don't know if they are doctored, but they look pretty sweet to me. Since you asked, here are some more: I could care less what engine it is, as long as they are telling the truth about 200...

Ut - time to check your meds. I think you missed a couple pills this morning. Seriously, can someone please put a leash on this guy? He's shitting this thread into oblivion.

The idea of being an adventurer and helping out as Halas is founded reminded me a lot of the old D&D gold box set. I dunno why. Pools of Radiance or something like that. Made me feel nostalgic and I like the ideas behind it. I hope they can take a lot of feedback, make some good adjustments...

Dude, you asked why I'm interested in this game, and what they are doing differently. I acknowledged that I haven't seen this stuff in action yet. I acknowledged that if they don't pull it off, I won't stick around for very long. I don't need you to point out obvious shit. I've been around...
