    Yeah this was the modus operandi in GW2 and is something we're hoping to not repeat. Your suggestion is good though, everyone is welcome to hop into our Teamspeak and fight with us. We generally have a large number of unguilded people who frequently fight with us but don't formally join for...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    We're hashing out a rough outline of our approach, but we won't have solid details until after release and we see how the campaigns really play out. I can give you our general feeling, though. We're used to the old school approach to PVP where generally the world is static and once a week or...

    Haha. Onoes I'd recommend breaking off all contact with her and getting tested for STDs. If you're clean you got off cheap from that bag of crazy. If I had to guess she temporarily broke up with some dude and hopped on you.

    Oh, we also chose a faction today. The Aldmeri Dominion. This was chosen for three reasons: 1. While most general polls show a pretty even split amongst the factions, we've been keeping a close watch on which factions the big PVP guilds have announced for. The Aldmeri Dominion is clearly the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Who is ready to win some wars again? It seems that every MMO that comes out this forum creates an upstart 'forum guild' for it that invariably fizzles out in a few months due to a lack of structure and recruitment. The serious players join serious guilds and the bored players move on. This is...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I started watching that video for a minute but I don't get the point. It just seems like a rehash of what's in the books. Also what's the problem with the naming convention of the purple wedding? The poison used to kill Joffrey is smuggled to the wedding in the purple amethyst hairnet of...

    Yeah, the only argument about Cyborg is whether she gets a shot after 1 or 2 fights. Though her coming in and losing to Meisha Tate or someone would be a hilarious upset.

    Gina Carano coming in and fighting Ronda without a prefight is pretty much impossible. If that rumor is true Grimlokk can choose my avatar for a month. Cyborg on the other hand is possible but unlikely. The UFC wouldn't let a fighter unknown to the fans hop in to the UFC and fight their...

    JTheRuler isn't very eloquent, but there's really no reason why a player can't skip the tutorial, spawn in their newbie farm and just immediately port to Cyrodiil.

    Yeah I know what you mean. After killing that swamp creature near the human city 3 times it gets dumb. Another thing I hoped to see from TESO is a departure from the theme-park MMO (which teso as fully embraced) and more toward a sandbox MMO where they create a comprehensive and in depth...

    Yeah if it's repeated every 15 minutes it sucks. GW2 pioneered this and many of the dynamic zone-wide events were so light that it kind of failed. If a group of players pushes the evil NPCs out of the village, then drives the fight to their home-base and wipes them out, the village shouldn't...

    So there's a few ways they could have implemented this: 1. The way they did. When the player enters the village it's a ghost town state. The player finds the quest NPC on their minimap, runs to them and they put the village in the on fire state. The player then competes with other players to...

    Optimal aiming: mouse, because you're specifying a position and that's what mice do. Optimal holonomic movement: joystick, because you're specifying a velocity and that's what joysticks do. It's too bad that this type of device: Never caught on, because that allows for a joystick + a...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I agree with this completely. If you: 1. Removed all phasing and almost all instancing. 2. Changed most of the quests to be dynamic events ala copying GW2 almost completely. 3. Allow factional PVP 4. Allow people to change sides identically to how it worked in Velious. 5. Removed levels and...

    I don't see a point in time where BTC is valuable and an enormous amount of computing power is not directed toward mining BTC. In other news, BTC touched 700USD today.

    Good research. I started finding similar things when I got tired of getting broken quests and just started grinding mobs a couple levels lower than me. I'd say my findings that I didn't record were slightly worse than yours but my attempts weren't optimal. Generally in these games you have...

    Yeah it's a shame that no one has attempted to mimic atitd's crafting system. I love making shit in RL, and I loved making shit in minecraft, but every crafting system in MMOs that follow the EQ/WoW/Skyrim model are boring and I don't get how people (Tarrant I'm calling you out here) like it...

    Maybe it was just my experience or it changes later but I had a very bad time exploring in TESO. Each obviously sectioned off area was so tightly coupled with whatever quest was built for that area that most of the time those areas were devoid of NPCs if I didn't have that quest. Several times...

    After getting 3 broken quests I just said fuck it and started killing all the things that were near the current broken quests. XP in a full group is half solo so it was more economical to just murder things solo, lol. I got to level 10 much quicker than running around from broken quest to broken...

    Two bugged quests in a row =\ Mages guild and the plague in the mine. Ironically those are the first two quests that I cared about. And now I'm underleveled for the quests I do have. I'd just go hunt somewhere but I'm afraid of going to a ghost town because I didn't do the quests in the...

    It only took 5 minutes! Fuck the fires, you have to look for the spawns of villages being scowled at by the guards. Oh and talk about the retarded marines locked in the basement. 10 marines just sitting on the ground with their hands tied. Not only do they just sit and look at the floor with...

    They've found a way to make the theme-park style MMO even worse. Now it's like you're going to where each ride is, but if you don't talk to the NPC first the ride is a ghost town and it looks like it hasn't been run in years. I was 'exploring' and found a village that had been burnt. So I...

    What's funny about the shower cleaning being a 'her chore' is that depending on the cleaning agents, nature of the people being cleaned and the tub surface it can be one of the most physically demanding chores there is, lol.

    Yeah the whole forced mouse look + no ability to target but still use target-based abilities really feels like they've created an abomination of a combat system that leaves the player feeling neutered and annoyed.

    This game would be much better if they removed phasing entirely. GW2 having dynamic events that continually shifted the state of the zone were more interesting and gave the world a sense of realism. The phasing stuff makes everything feel totally fake when you see three guys running around and...
