I only have the time to play one MMO at a time. Prior to getting an invite into the closed beta, I was trying Neverwinter and before that SWTOR. In case you haven't noticed, those games are not warranting much attention on the board here lately. For the past 6-7 weeks I have played ESO...

There are population soft caps for each faction in a campaign. However, Zenimax has said if you are in a guild and your guildmates are presently inside Cyrodil AND the population soft cap has been reached, the game should allow you to enter, even if that leads to more population imbalance...

There are quests that lead you to the FG and MG guild halls in the first major city you arrive in. Lorebooks are spread out all over PVE zones so you pretty much have to explore them fully to find them all. They sparkle and are all colored blue. You will get a notification when you find...

I keep remembering more things. The ONLY way to increase rank in the Fighter and Mages guild is to kill Daedra and undead for FG and discovering Lorebooks for MG. Closing Dark Anchors for FG may give FG EXP but not certain. That is all PVE content so if you skip PVE, you won't be able to...

One more thing. At least in the first few weeks of the games release, you might not be gimped as much in PVP if you ignore PVE. The only way to unlock the PVP skills in the two PVP skill lines is to gain PVP rank. Therefore, the players who spend most of their time in Cyrodil in the early...

There will always be bandwagon players hoping to ride the coattails of the guilds who are successful. There are also players who just like the thrill of competing and can have fun even if they lose. I would rather play for the underdog and cut into the lead of the winning faction versus...

I'm fine with that. The next time Utnayan fabricates something that anyone with closed beta access would know is incorrect, I will just award it 1-5 Pinochios to let everyone know and then move on.

LOL you can tell how much I've rattled Utnayan if he is internet stalking me and trying to discover my posting history on other MMO boards. I have no idea the last time I posted anything on the Rift forums. I wonder if I made Utnayan (under a different username) look the fool over there too...

Because people like Utnayan have a desperate need to be taken seriously and they don't like being exposed as frauds.

It will take you longer to level up, you couldn't gain veteran ranks, and you would miss out on free skill points from doing the major quest lines.

You've pretty much been 100% wrong on all your predictions regarding the NDA so not really certain how you now believe you are somehow on the winning side of that debate. Those of us on the PTS are allowed to give our general impressions of 17+ content without breaking the NDA and I have been...

Does being a long time poster give someone the privilege to fabricate "facts" and not be held accountable for it? I don't have any problem with anyone voicing their opinions. AFAIK Kedwyn, Pyksel, maybe Grave and I are the only people here with closed beta access. Kedwyn and Pyksel don't...

I've lost count of the number of times I have told everyone here that a combat log addon exists. The newest version breaks down group contribution for damage and heals even if other group members don't have the addon. If anyone would like for me to email you the two addons required (FTC and...

Do new posters need to be irrational haters like Utnayan in multiple threads before they are taken seriously here? I'd say half my posts are counters to the outright lies Utnayan has told, and continues to tell, about this game. Does the fact that I didn't start posting until his year...

If Utnayan had any inside contacts in Zenimax, especially if they were disgruntled employees, he would be providing specific details instead of the broad generalizations that typically plague every MMO launch. He doesn't even know what problems the closed beta testers are discussing right...

It wasn't that big a deal. Being a casual player, I didn't have anything to contribute to any of the threads discussing end game raiding. I only applied for posting rights when Schilling started discussing Copernicus development. BTW the more you try to insult me the more pathetic you...

Utnayan's wall of text condensed into one simple point. He knows he can't open those two links, he knows what the means, so we get a wall of text of him trying to insult me to cover up his lies. BTW I have been lurking on the FoH boards since it was the noows site. I applied for posting...

Since PC, Xbox and PS4 players will all be kept separate from one another, I can see ESO having different subscription models for PC players and console players at some point. The argument I have heard is that the console gamers are not likely to pay a monthly subscription because that is not...

Has any person in the entire history of the MMO genre ever has as many "inside" source as Utnayan? Now that he has resurfaced after a couple of days lying low, I wonder if I should repost those two links he avoided commenting on?

I think at this point Zenimax is giving away weekend beta keys to anyone who signs up for weekend beta access.

There is challenging PVE content in ESO. The issue is how long it takes you to get to it. The first private group dungeons are tuned for 12-16 characters. Until you get to those, almost all of the content is designed to be soloed. From what I have seen, when soloing you have to create the...

Adventure zones are 24 man raid style PVE content that you do once you get to the veteran levels. None have been released yet so no one knows how they will work. A regular zone is level 1-50 PVE content.

WoW set the standard for holding your hand thru the beginning levels. I played a warlock when it launched and didn't die until I went into the Deadmines the first time. In ESO, what classes have you been playing and what weapons are you using? Bow + sneak attack is OP right now so if you...

If you are a PVE completionist like me, you do every quest in the zone you can before you move on to the next zone. The drawback to that is that it is inevitable that at some point you will be 4-5 levels above some of the mobs you are fighting and the associated quest will be gray. There is...

What exactly do you mean by "some techie pushing a 'ruin it' button"? Are you claiming someone from Zenimax purposely caused players to disconnect or are you claiming the players from the opposing force were doing something to cause the disconnects of players on your side?

If you are going to limit the comparison between games to strictly how long it takes to kill a mob, then you are indeed correct it is a ridiculous comparison. Killing trash mobs in EQ1 took significantly longer than it does in ESO. If you are willing to expand the comparison to how group...

FYI the latest version of the combat log addon now tracks everyone involved in the combat, regardless of whether they are using the combat log addon or not. For every fight, you can see how much % of damage each player contributes to the kill.

Here are some more links Utnayan can share his input on. Link #1 Link #2 I'll be fine with just the topic of the threads.

Perhaps Kedwyn, Pyksel or Grave would like to do the honors?

Utnayan, Your #1 problem, which I assume causes you major problems in real life like it does here on the forums, is that you have such a high opinion of yourself that you have convinced yourself that your shit doesn't stink. You consider your opinion fact and anyone else with a different...

That looks familiar. Maybe Utnayan can tell us more about what is posted at that link.

First off, I believe it was Tuco calling for Ut to provide screenshots, not me. What I told Ut he could do was send me a tell/mail in game. He refused to do that because he claimed I would get him banned. Apparently because I have a positive view of the game and I started posting recently...

LOL if I'm a retard, what does that make you? I'm not the one who got caught lying left and right and then making a fool of myself after getting exposed.

You shill!! That idiot would rather believe Utnayan than use his brain and apply some common sense.

Utnayan's irrational ranting and raving appears to be spreading.

How many hours a week would you be playing? We had people play nonstop and get to veteran ranks in a few days. Others are taking a more casual approach and obviously taking a lot longer. The ones who rushed to veteran rank are the hardcore MMOers who want to do AvA and veteran dungeons...

I get the impression you think you are making a profound point and that you have me in a "gotcha" moment. Pat yourself on the back if you need to. The Rift zone, of which Riften is a POI, is still under NDA. If you have somehow convinced yourself that a video of a guy who fell thru the...

You lost me. What do you think someone falling thru the world during the weekend beta test proves? Do you think it somehow proves Utnayan was correct about the post 17 zones being unfinished and buggy?

Have you ever fallen thru the world in any MMO? I have a couple of times in EQ1 and WoW and when it happens, you don't end up in a fully functional world. You are forced to log off and hope it self corrects or seek a GM to get you out. Surely you knew that right? Kedwyn himself verified...

You don't have to take my word for it. You can go to YouTube and see the creator of the video (McYawgi) admit it himself.
