I would say their marketting campaign is reasonably clever. If they release too little detail, some people will complain. If they release a lot of 'crunch' information, sites everywhere will analyse it to death and post their opinions of the succe…

I have wondered about this myself - I am hoping my Dark Elf Sorcerer will be a stealthy nuker/controller, but not sure how viable this will be. We shall see...

I love AoC for the detail and design of the armours. That said, I never enjoyed mass PvP in AoC - it was uniformely rubbish and required that you turn graphics down to Zelda levels of detail to experience anything other than 3 fps. I think the com…

I think the progression model is on the face of it quite robust. The potential for various skill trees from class, race, NPC guild and questlines; multiple unlocked skill setups (further varied by in-skill specialisation options) and multiple gear …

Whilst with some time on my hands one week I came up with a way of having non-linear play with a linear character development system. Have each zone with sub-areas - where the safest and most settled/civilised contain low level challenges - with se…

There are no ridiculous manga midgets with guns in TESO. Therefore it is already far better in terms of genre form than GW2. GW2 has many good elements, but flavour isn't one of them IMO.

There is no inherent problem with PvP in the TES universe. There is no obvious problem from what I can see with the PvE as it currently stands. The two are separated and will remain so in all likelihood. As long as both elements are fun, engaging…

Yes - I should have been clearer - I mean in endgame. In AoC, until one particular spell was 'fixed', the necro was a killer. But for 3.5 years or more it's been the pits against equally well-geared and AA skill-advanced players. One example I had …

Firstly - IF this rumour has any truth to it, there should be a quest to achieve it (I voted 1) and their consequences should be pretty heavy and pretty permanent, with maybe one opportunity to make amends and go back to your original faction if you…

Phasing is the elephant in the room. It will either work surprisingly well and be a boon to the game, or a horrible mess. It is difficult to see how it could sit in some middle ground. However, if it does work - immersion in questing of all kinds…

Originally posted by ShakyMo Caliburn Most people aren't just pvpers or just pveers I agree. Heck that's me too. But... I have witnessed in a lot of betas what I would call the "pvextremist" brigade that hate ALL pvp, even pvp they don't h…

Originally posted by ShakyMo Don't look to TESO to give you a pvp experience as good as daoc. 1 this megaserver thing means no server communities 2 yeah you have campaigns within the mega server, but did you know you can both guest in a "friend…

Originally posted by EL_Sirios [mod edit] As a keen PvP'er AND PvE'er, I always find this argument to be full of hot air. The fact is - the vast majority of mass PvP is zerging, and not nearly as interesting as a difficult boss-fight (pre-farm...…

With a sensible level of randomisation and a decent player to player trading system this will be fine. You will have the choice to grind for your best fit set (but not for too long), or to grind for the money to buy it from the auction house (or wh…

Originally posted by asrlohz Originally posted by hMJem I might break your guys' hearts with this one, but I'll say 50% of the day 1 ESO buyers dont care about the Elder Scrolls story or havent played an Elder Scrolls game before, but are just loo…

All the debate about 'how much inaccuracy in the lore' is acceptable or not misses a central point in my opinion. Zenimax deciding having a guy with the title 'Loremaster' who goes on about ES lore? That's a pretty basic marketing mistake if you h…

I thought the emphasis a little odd at first. Generally attractive environments next to rather bland character models? I'm used to it being the other way round where there is a lack of style somewhere... However, when I considered (as from a prev…

Originally posted by Iselin Damn... wrong thread. I thought this was finally a thread where we pretended ESO is not based on anything at all and we look at it's faults and virtues purely based on the MMOie things they're doing. MMOs with no previo…
