Just so you know Blackwulf shilled the shit out of this game on F13.net until everyone told him to shut the fuck up.

Draegan, Draegan, Draegan... if I was a shill don't you think I'd sign up with a different name from forum to forum? You're one of my main trolls on F13, and I knew you admin these forums, so I could havetriedto hide that, right? Oh well, no sense spending all my time denying these things. I think I've made some good points, and I'm pretty darn objective most of the time.

In fact, they posted an new Q&A today that really kind of pissed me off:http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en...nything-combat

In particular:

I know left click will be the main attacks ability but will there be "counter attack" abilities you can put on the hotbar that can only be used after a successful block with your shield or weapon? ? By Jesse Perry

There certainly are attacks which work better when capitalizing on certain opponent states, for example, exploiting your opponent?s vulnerability after an interrupt.However, we don?t have attacks that wouldn?t work without that situation being true.

Sounds like an extremely dumbed down version of DAOC's style system

And:

Would you please explain the soft locking system in detail? For example, how does it interact with dodge? Does it apply to melee attacks, or just ranged? During missile travel time, is it possible for another target to intervene between you and your existing soft lock target to take the attack? ? By Matt Feisthammel

You must be facing your target to hit it. However, soft locking allows you to pick a target out of a crowd to hit. It is possible that your target could be behind another target. You would hit the target you had soft-locked, provided you were aiming at them.Another target could not step in the way of the soft-locked target to prevent you from hitting your soft-locked target.As for dodging? The target can execute a roll dodge or evasion move to avoid attack.

That sounds really lame. So a guy with heavy armor and a shield can't get between a caster and a sniping archer? Maybe they'll have some kind of "guard" ability ala DAOC, but, meh.

Anyway, boys, if any of you could please link me some info on where I can go to apply to be a paid shill, I could sure as fuck use the extra money. I mean shit, if I can get paid to post here, why not??

This is like someone getting caught doing something stupid and then expousing, "do you really think I'm stupid enough to do...?"

It's a strawman copout. Whether you are stupid enough to use the same name across separate forums as a paid shill is largely irrelevant because the fact of the matter is you did use the same handle across separate forums as a paid shill...

...so I guess that makes you stupid.

Oh, Jeebus. Will you just read what I post and reply with some substance and quit wasting time with this bullshit? Is it impossible to have a discussion on game forums anymore?

I often wonder how many people actually remember DAOC and the stupid shit like a whole raid getting mezzed and killed by 3 people etc etc... Great game great game

Yes, if you're dumb enough to stand on top of your entire raid, you deserve exactly that. Obviously things were a little more reasonable when DRs were put into the game.

wtf..? Usually I can puzzle out your point, but that post was just cray, bro, cray

Don't be mad that we farmed autofollow zergs for many many lulz, bro. Don't be mad... just don't autofollow.

8v8 or 8v16 or 8vZerg was the way to RvR. But if you never found a steady crew in DAoC, I can only imagine it was utter suck. 2 v neverending minst zerg was pretty fun too.

I still don't understand why albs were so fucking stupid. I mean it's unreal how many times the exact same trick worked. Just unreal.

Sure, until you got purge it was a game of "who can mez first, and does the rapetrain have their assist keys set up?" But once you paid your dues and got RR4 or so, the game completely changed. Honestly, it got a lot more tactical once you didn't have a valid excuse to be getting farmed anymore.

Edit: It was well balanced in the way that it was a VERY steep curve (of power gain) up until about 5 or so. But once you were looking at 5+, it tapered down to be a very very gradual gain. And the ranks themselves were like exponential or some shit, so getting 5-6 took as long as getting 0-5. Up above 5 it was rarely the abilities that RR's gave you that won or lost, but the experience of the player from having played that much that won or lost. And if a rr9 crew was having a mediocre day, a rr5 crew having a good day could beat them. And to me, that's what kept me playing and made the rvr fun. Knowing that sure.. there were guys out there that had better math -- but if you played well as a team you COULD still beat them. It just wasn't quite so lopsided as recent games.

I'd like to see pvp balanced that way, tbh. Nerdsport is what it was.

Gameplay reminds me of warhammer, game will sell on name alone. Hope it to be good, expect it to be swtor.

Right, so... nothing different from any MMO out there? I am actually kind of surprised, it will probably be more boring than I originally thought.

So many ways to do an Elder Scrolls MMORPG... such a wasted opportunity.

I thought this was going to be good...

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 likely that the PvP system will be terrible, but even if that's the case I have no doubt I will find something to enjoy in this game.

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

I am Huge Elder scrolls fan since the 1st same with star wars, star trek nerd.

However beyond the engine is going to give them same issues it had with swtor just almost 2 years later at launch, its going to be tons of instanced crap, have guy leading the charge on that Matt is god dam Idiot.

If would told me years ago , Elder scrolls online game was coming I like most us would busted a nut, but Most us here have done extensive Alpha tests, with systems not even in, world building still happening to not call a Spade, a Spade.

If im wrong from all heard, will be 1st to post that, wanna play and love this game, but sadly dont think we will be, Maybe im To Jaded and cynical and old now.

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 threads is a good way to spend their time. It's so bad that when someone actually positive posts everyone swarms around to openly mock them which I seriously can't understand the motives for. In the real world positivity is infectious and makes other people happy, but here it seems to have the exact opposite effect and causes people to become excessively mean and obnoxious.

I don't expect (or even care) if people en masse enjoy TESO. I come to this thread to see what the news is on the game but instead I see two pages of people mocking the one person in the thread who dared to post a dissenting view. What a waste of time for you all. I thought GW2 and Tera were both intensely boring games but I don't understand what possible motive I could have for trolling those threads looking for happy people to piss on.
