    Most of those fixes are not in this beta, as psykel says just up thread. EDIT: Much better start than last week. Everything loads and runs well. Logged back in to find my Pact Nord at level 8 in Stonefalls. Let me tell you: Don't think the game is too easy; just run ahead of the content...

    Crazy Neighbor. Coward Landlord.

    Or across 59 in the Museum District. The Heights is too far from Miller. That would completely explain why ham is Triple-A screwed looking for somewhere else: Prices are brutal that close to Downtown/Rice/Montrose/West U. and don't get much better until you get way past 610 in any direction.

    Point is, someone who isn't Rescorla who is also in the Closed Beta with the updated patches could go test this out right now, and come back here and tell us. We don't have to rely on him/her. For me, the idea of lag is when I let go of the mouse button charging the attack, do the model's...

    While there are bread crumb quests which follow the major story lines for each zone/area/region, nothing is preventing you from running around and finding things to do on your own apart from these. They presents themselves as quests, to be sure, but they are not bread crumbed at all, and these...

    Just download the standalone MH and use the same account over there. I bought mine through steam and never played a minute with that version.

    It will be interesting in the next stress test how combat "feels"; personally I wonder how much the lag/lack there of impacted my impression of the game over the previous weekend as a whole vs. someone who only played Fri/Sat when everything was terrible.

    You have a code that works on GMG? I have been looking for a deal and haven't found anything other than semi-shady Russian sites selling it for a discount.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    This is me; I hit that point where I could feel the sense of loss building up for investing so much time in stuff that was going away. So excited for the next beta to start, though.

    Those patch notes do indeed look good. In regards to your pvp question, A couple of pages back there was a video of a guy soloing PVP as a dragon knight and getting tons of kills without ranged. He was sneaking but that is something that all classes can do in ESO.

    Once I changed the way I thought about the wind-up/swing action in ESO vs. how it works in other games, I didn't have any issues at all with the combat I experienced. It's way more Elder Scrolls than it is Other_MMO_01.

    I don't know about 40 but certainly 10 or 15 days late, to be sure. Anyway, by now this is undeniably the city of this thread's final destination.

    eh, the racials I like are Orc, or Orcasmer or whatever they are calling them these days, but man I don't like the models. In the interest of mixmaxeroni, though, Orc Two-Handed Heavy Armor Sorcerer it is, I guess.

    I know I am the guy who just posted dickbutt.jpg but this should end or be taken to PM. Folks on both sides have firmly made their cases and nothing further is to be gained by endless personal sniping.

    Well, obviously, since you have SHILL-O-Vision, thanks for coming in here in giving us all the warning that we need to know that the game is really terrible, despite our own experiences to contrary. I did notice, however, that you failed to shine that brilliantly perceptive mind on any of the...

    I mean, fuck all if I am going to pay it but with no KS funds, what else do they have to sell but access to themselves and the process? I don't want to help them make it, though, I just want to play it. I am really happy for Brad to get another chance, and for old-schoolers to get a game in...

    The basic attack, light/heavy is that way. There are healing skills within the weapon tree that are straight-up heals, though.

    I saw a number of folks stabbing mobs with lightning, so they were out there. It was a fair mix of archetypes that I saw in the starter zones, though.

    There is a lot of talk I have read of folks getting to the VR and getting surprised about the difficulty. Psykel here I think was VR10 and could probably speak to it directly.

    There is the same video with a little more context and some chatter in Swedish: Basically it seems this guy fell through the world and [NOTE: EDITED for clarity] loaded an unpopulated Skyrim.

    I understand completely. I don't mean to egregiously repeat myself but I found the tutorial/Coldharbor terrible the first time through, and a really poor introduction to the game. The next couple of times weren't so bad, because A) I was familiar enough with the game systems, given their marked...

    That is a really great idea. Hopefully ESO or someone else picks that up. It seems like it would really increase the intensity of the 5-day fights as well.

    This is a fair criticism overall, although I think in the example you mention, the guy says that the only reason he didn't succumb to the spider bites like his companions was that he was Argonian, and you run through the tomb the isle is named for in the quest finale. I thought ZO had someone...

    One thing to be thankful for, at least, is they aren't selling Lifetimes for this knowing they are going f2p. After gorging myself on head start for probably 5 days straight, if there are issues with retail launch it might even be a relief. Let's see where everyone stands after the next...

    The moment Comcast gets serious about enforcing/charging for cap overages, I will go Business Class that same day. Most of my kids' TV is streamed over Roku boxes and you have no idea how much bandwidth you can use until you have Cars and Cars 2 running in HD non-stop for 12 hours a day...

    My experience with the two was the exact opposite: I was really excited about Wildstar and then took part in a stress test/beta weekend. I am totally put off now and having trouble forcing myself to play this weekend at all. ESO, I didn't have any impressions other than the relentless...

    If I play this game for 6 months, that would be a win for me. I love love love GW2 and TSW but even those games get to where while I love them, I just don't want to *play* them past a certain point. The only question that I have at this point is: Do the overall narratives remain as...

    I am going to have to start over this beta. From the last beta I was in, I logged into today to existing characters in the middle of a number of things, totally confused re: the interface/abilities/etc. The art style is so totally WOW though, both good and bad from that.

    There are a large number you can, indeed, from which you can avoid and/or dodge away. I am specifically referring to the large wind-up/graphical warning attacks that NPCs do. Those can not be dodged and will hit you whereever you are. To test what I mean, engage any opponent(s) and wait from...

    -None of the special attacks account for distance or positioning; dodging out of the way of a mob with the ramping up motions (not the cone attacks) did nothing. Those attacks, both yours and theirs, hit if not actively blocked regardless of where you or they are. The charge is just the most...

    This isn't a challenge but where? I really wasn't able to start playing any real time (I only leveled my first char to lvl 3 Friday and Sat) until day 3 and never experienced or saw that personally. Edit: I did have to /reloadui a fair number of times, getting hung in the first person...
