Heh, making a prequel MMORPG for your franchises. Maybe this is becoming the new fad in gaming.

Anybody get the new Game Informer? I read the entire ten or so page story and I have to say it doesn't seem that bad anymore. I suggest reading it.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

From what I've seen from the trailers, it seems to look and play like an Elder Scrolls game and it seems to have a lot of it's own originality, but i'm still worried it might be shitty like SWTOR.

I got a beta key in the mail this morning.... anyone else?

I got one too. I don't even think this crumby laptop I use can run it, lol. Guess I'll find out Friday.

Would you expect anything else from a fantasy MMORPG?

Yes I would.

so far the game is extremely shit.

I mean.... its beta and all.... but its still terrible.
Guild Wars 2 makes this game look like a joke.

just received a beta key this morning and activated it this afternoon

now to start writing a checklist on all of the things this game will have to do come within 15 miles of even being considered to compete with world of warcraft

Have fun if the game is enjoyable i might look past the fact that it's class based and actually get it myself.

i wasn't impressed by the demo at quakcon tbh and the fact that it's monthly subscription based is already a turnoff to me but we'll see what happens this friday

Anyone have opinions on the beta? It feels fairly mediocre, but the world is interesting and it would keep me playing... if not for the $60 + $15/m cost. Way overpriced in my opinion.

It's a watered-down Skyrim with useless auto-aim bow combat. I'm not a fan of TES but I can see where the appeal of these games come from and literally all of that appeal is gone in TES Online.

Bitch please I'm BETA testing the dang thing

Like most other people...
Anyway, according to @LiquidFire the game is meh and from what I've seen, it looks like a Multiplayer Skyrim, which just seems plain lazy to me, Skyrim already has shitloads of content for me to enjoy, I'd rather not spend my money on this, I may give it a go, but from what I've seen it doesn't seem worth more than a month or two of paying for.

Yea it was ok but I didn't get around a lot but I guess it's cool that they have made places like Blackmarsh and Elswyr, that no body has ever been to in a game before, open is pretty cool.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard about the game...

LOL I forgot about this thread.

Why don't you explain why it's so dumb to think that way and why it isn't a multiplayer skyrim? Instead of just going "That's a dumb thing to say lel".

Because I don't care enough to explain why. Also Darkjam says stupid stuff all the time. Should be pretty obvious why what he said is dumb.

Don't post if you don't care about it. Also, if it's so obvious then there was no reason for you to point it out. No need to go on a witch hunt and call people dumb just because you hold some sort of a grudge against a person on the internet.

Considering Liquid has played it, and from what I've seen in demos and videos, I can say what I want about it, besides learn to respect other opinions, it's like you think your always right and if anybody does go against you, they're wrong.

I played the beta 3 times and hated it

While I do still believe this, I am sort of liking this game more, ever since I saw footage of a siege, I might just get it then, who knows.

Has anybody played it yet?

From what I've seen of this game it basically looks like Oblivion online with Skyrim's HUD, but a friend of mine who bought it said it's more of an MMO than an Elder Scrolls game. If that's the case I have zero interest.

I expected as much. MMOs these days don't really work out really well. Especially when Bethesda is making one. I always saw them as a single player only company. So imagining them adding lore and online stuff at the exact same time seems like it won't work at all.

I knew it would suck. All signs pointed to it sucking. All it had going for it was hope that it wouldn't suck. But I think most avid gamers knew it would.

I just wish Bethesda Softworks had put all the resources they poured into the Zenimax EOS team into their primary game studio and hence improved the quality of their next single player epic.

Best case scenario:

EOS makes enough money to not hurt the studio or harm their next single player game.

It does poorly enough that they learn their lesson and never ever try to do something stupid like this again.

Bethesda published it, but they didn't make it, which I think is partially why it did so poorly. The other part is that people seem to be afraid to try new ideas for MMOs and stick to what's been successful—which was successful at first because it was different, but now it's the same thing we've seen dozens of times.

I think if Bethesda Studios had made the game it could have turned out a lot better, but I wish nothing like this had been done at all. Bethesda Softworks could have put this money into Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls VI.

I agree with this completely. The elder scrolls or a fallout universe really needs a good single player experience with maybe some coop gimmicks on the side. And I did play mmo's in the past, but I never got the point of it.

Who on earth is going to pay full retail price + money for the mount and faction unlock ( else you have a walking simulator ) + monthly fees, for something that tries to emulate an elder scrolls game, rather than being one. For that cash with steam sales, budgetgaming sites and humble bundles you can get tons of better experiences.
And if you really do have to play an mmo, do one that at least allows friends to help you out.

In this game if a guy completes the quest he is gone. This means if he accidentally kills a boss before the game notices you are fighting it as well ( yes some the bosses die within seconds ), then he disappears from your realm. Same for puzzles, you will spend most your time waiting up for friends to finish their stuff. And if that person can't solve or beat the boss, because his build is complementary to yours, to bad. It's not like gw2 where your hero just scales back to a lower level when he is helping out.
