Classless character system Character skill based progression FFA PvP Open PvP enabled dungeons edit:I may be confused between the way they *should* have done it and the way they've really done it.

He did cover a fair amount of the map he was on but he was on Stros M'Kai which is a small island between Hammerfell and the Summerset Isles. It suggests (although isn't conclusive of course) that the game world is going to be pretty large. You can see it on this...

The guy playing it was jerking the camera around a lot. I get the feeling he hadn't played the game before and was working out what to do as he went along. He intentionally opened every menu and every skill list and every map option etc to show it all in the video which was pretty cool. I've...

Interesting to see that the stealth system looks exactly like the Skyrim one.. Same controls and conversation options too. Graphics look bad.. those environments simply do not look like they belong in TES to me. That little Dwemer themed room at the end looked laughably bad.. Are there even...

They were in Morrowind. One of the loading screens in Morrowind had concept art of them and it looks like TESO has modeled it from that art.

Looks pretty good. Is that the only non human they've shown so far?

I don't think they are Bioware fans necessarily complaining about the "hackers". It's just whingers complaining, because that's what whingers do, they bitch and moan on forums. The expansion has lot of interesting minor changes, some that improve quality of life like merging all of the...

I don't see what the big deal is. So people dinged 55 instantly.. Who cares? How does it affect other players? They won't even be in the same WZ bracket as you. The only reason I can see for people being upset is because they want to race other people to 55 and didn't realise there was a...

Depends on the xpac. The open dungeons in Velious and Skyshrine were moderately popular because they dropped gear way higher in quality than similar difficulty instances and were also excellent XP. The open dungeon for the current xpac is basically unused because the bosses are as hard as the...

Wrong context. The suggestion was that F2P exceeded their expectations for F2P, not for whatever expectations they had for the game prior to launch (which other than some decent out of the gate sales would be classified as "major disappointment"). As for what their F2P expectations were, who...

Their reasoning is mostly bullshit, they could have at least tried a server merger of the 3 Oceanic servers. I would have given up the PvP server where all of my characters are on (Master Dal'Nara) to merge into a PvE server with a bigger community. It will be sad to give up the good ping (I can...

I definitely noticed the more positive atmosphere in the TOR community the last few months, although that was wrecked in the Oceanic community with their sad announcement last week. I'm looking forward to the xpac next week. Disappointed that they stopped the early entry pre-order though...

The targetting and quest aura are a bit over the top. Control system is fairly skyrim like, combat looks ok. It's interesting, I would love to have a go of it.

It has ability cooldown it just works differently than most MMOs. Most of them do it the wow way which is there's a minimum amount of time that each ability must take (usually around 1.5 seconds), and if you use an ability that takes less than that you have to wait until you can use another one...

As I said it depends what they call a dungeon, but in both Skyrim and Oblivion there are a hell of a lot more than 16 of the huge multi level dungeons. One of the big drawcards for TESO for me was running those dungeons with my friends, racing other groups for nameds, PvPing in them.. If it's...

Sixteen dungeons? That is pretty damn sad considering Skyrim or Oblivion have over 100. I guess it depends what they call a dungeon but that's pretty disappointing.

That's what progression is. My group (trio) cleared tofs, then spire, then kael, then drunder. 12 different dungeons to run through progressively. By the time we were working on Drunder we could also go to tofs x2 and 3 man about 5-6 of the bosses for raid quality drops with red adorn slots, and...

Yes just CoE. I didn't mind DoV, it had great progression for heroic players.

That is very sad indeed although to be fair some classes are a lot harder to macro (well they lose a lot of effectiveness if you 1 button macro them). Wizards for example. But yeah my Bruiser and Coercer are both pretty much 1 button wonders. Bruiser has a button for AE and a button for temp...

Yeah that video is amazing and gave me some major SB flashbacks.

To add to what you've said, SWTOR, the most reviled of all "AAA MMOs" had quite a lot of innovation. The companion system, crafting system, the itemization system with it all being modular.. HUTTBALL, all innovations. And look where it ended up..

Have you played Vanguard, where (when PvP still existed in that game) you would fight other groups over dungeon bosses, quest hubs etc? It was epic, if you ignore all of the bugs/balance issues. EQ PvP was the same. Kicking enemy groups out of lguk/solb, fighting enemy raids over Nagafen/Vox...

All good points really, but primarily #6. PvPing over PvE objectives is great. As for 3 factions, it's certainly better than 2 but it's pretty disappointing that it's not FFA. TES is tailor made for FFA PvP, and the 'factions' they've set up are laughable. Half of the races on each team have...

Just play SK then you can tank, AE DPS and self heal all at the same time in reckless stance.

Most classes you can just macro all of the attack abilities into one button and mash that if you want to. On my bruiser I have one single target button, one AE button, one temp buff button. It's good enough to do most things.

Utnayan everything you are saying makes sense and I agree entirely. The issue isn't why people don't like or are suspicious of a game as it's a perfectly valid stance to have. The problem is that this forum is full of people who are so innately negative that they feel that taking a dump on...

I remember when this forum (well, its predecessor) used to be populated by people who actually liked video games.

If you like and/or are excited about an MMO then you must be a shill. I'm looking forward to TESO. I'm a big fan of the TES series and I'm hoping for more of the same with some multiplayer fun thrown into the mix. I think it's likely the endgame will be shit or not exist, and I think it's...

No it won't, you need to buy the last 2 xpacs to get everything.

The game is pretty bad but you're on crack if you reckon the character models look like they're from 2004. It does feel kind of arcadey, although a better way to describe it is it feels like a console game. You could easily play this on a 360 controller. It has its moments.. Arcade feel isn't...

This just happened to me. I wonder if there's any way for me to get out of here now. I think my character is ruined unless it times out or something. edit: went to log a bug report and found it's already well reported, with a workaround to get out (/killme, respawn, then zone out through the...

How and at what stage can you start grouping up? All of this talk of single player doesn't sound good.

No this was at launch of CoE. I was one of the most vocal posters on the official EQ2 forums at CoE launch about all the ways they ruined the heroic players game with this xpac. Velious was a lot better, and SF was better still. My friend & I quit EQ2 in Jan and went back to SWTOR. Throne...

Probably not true. While not exactly the same thing, me (Coercer), plus my friend (dualbox Warden+SK) and 3 mercs cleared all of the CoE heroic content except for the last 3 bosses of Harrow's End, and even farmed x4 trash when they dropped an Obol from every mob. Some of the bosses were hard...

SOE Mote is actually pretty cool imo. It's very very niche, but cool. I don't mind wierd features like that being added to games. That was one of EQ2s strongest attributes, that it has all of these funky features built in to make it more interesting for casuals. Because ultimately that is what...

The last expansion was really half-arsed. I'm one of those players who comes back for every xpac and really enjoyed all of them to date including SF and DoV but CoE really hurt the game for me, and I unsubbed less than a month after it launched. Basically, there was no progression at all in the...

I too enjoy presenting baseless assumptions as fact. This isn't to say that you're wrong, and perhaps you have knowledge that wasn't presented in that post. More likely though this is a sad attempt to scrounge for things to complain about. So I have to ask, why bother? Anyway I'm...

Massive +brownie points for acknowledging the existence of Australia (and our quirky bro's from across the Tasman!). ps: Where's my beta invite?

Generally don't tip at all unless I'm feeling particularly generous or the person was awesome. When I travelled to the Phillippines however practically everyone expects a tip and they try to pressure you. I ignored it at first because to me tipping is not normal. Eventually I tried a few times...

So did beardman devour that werewolf? Pretty OP!
