But just standart PC food. Graphic is old hero engine i believe. Nothing special. Can´t even say that anything is really "bad". It´s quite polished standart 0815 MMO food. Just dull and boring and empty and not epic lol. PVP can be quite funny though. Then again the combat system itself makes no sense if that makes any sense O____o Did i said it will be a good console port game? Those 5 quickbuttons Uhmm... | ||

Same here. I waited until midnight to try it, played it for like 1 hour, got bored and went to bed. I never started it up again. | ||

It was interesting for sure, but I somehow can't find it compelling as a MMO title. I might give it a shot if there are reports of the story being somewhat worthwhile and if you can play all the content alone. Funny thing that I instantly found myself trying to pick up and loot everything, I was even confused that you couldn't at first, since it just feels like the previous titles. | ||

While GW2 can be extremely hectic and button mashy, ESO is very slow and you can focus more on defensive part of the game. Blocking in this game which is active is really necessary. Fighting just a normal mob you will get stunned and pummeled to the ground if he lands a hit on you. But if you block it, he will get stunned. Also some mobs with shields and when they block u will get stunned as well. And you can roll away from attacks like GW2. Or you run in circles around the enemy while he turns too slow and hit him from behind by mashing the auto attack. Like in gw2, too. He will only be able to set maybe 1/3 of the attacks if you are alone. 0 if you with another person. Very effective and you can DPS the whole time because you don't need to dodge/block. And also extremly boring but that's what you get from active combat. Moving should only be allowed for a handful of skills. Otherwise you have no incentive to not run, no dicision-making there. It's pretty much the same approach you can take in skyrim against melee enemies with melee. Kite them backwards outranging them with a two-hander and they will never hit you, lol. | ||

Yeah, combat becomes ridiculously floaty when you can attack and move at the same time. There's no feeling of impact, or tactics. You just run and jump around like an idiot. | ||

If he backs away a bit, parries etc. you wouldnt be able to just run around him and and attack. This is not in any way a problem of "being able to move and attacking at the same time" but a problem of dumb AI. | ||

What is the point of it being an MMO if there is no actual interaction with other people. All I did was flick some switches, collected some meaningless objects and returned them to npcs. But hey this is what people want I guess. | ||

I played for a couple of hours up to level 5 and had a good time. I've done the intro "prison hell" area, and (I believe) most of the first island (starting as a dark elf). The world is beautiful and the visual style is mature, which I like. The character creation was pretty good, and I was particularly pleased the female characters are dressed in something appropriate for adventuring, instead of something only appropriate for a brothel, or an anime convention. I like that all the quests are voice-acted, and it makes the quests feel much more interesting and compelling to undertake; I've played hundreds of hours of WoW and now find text-only quest system incredibly dull. My urge to quicksave on multiple occasions indicates that the game clearly felt closer to a single-player RPG than an MMO. It also seems you can go up to any bookcase and be rewarded with lore, and there's even a book section in the GUI just for lore stuff. The world looked and felt like Skyrim, but I'd be able to play with friends. I can't speak for all combat, but I made a mage/wizard/whatever-it's-called and had a good time. I grabbed a frost staff from the intro area, and picked up the first spell of each skill line, and the abilities felt solid enough. I haven't tried melee or pvp or anything like that yet, but everything seemed pretty good so far. | ||

Graphics are "ok-ish", I mean they are good but at the same time I felt a bit alienated from the rest of the TES games. I 've played both Dark Elf and High Elf, prefered the Dunmer line. Quests are way too boring and repetitive (WoW vanilla which is the last MMO I played had better/ more interesting quests) and we didn't even need to party at least I didn't got a party up to level 7 (I stopped at level 7 with each character). Combat is clunky, needs some rework. Skills / abilities are good to go on one hand, but on the other hand they are outside of the TES logic. | ||

And do you 'notice' level ups as in noticing to get stronger? Also, what does GUI mean? G____ User Interface? If anyone has a key to spare, please PM me, I'd absolutely appreciate it! | ||

The combat skill system is fine. The gathering/NPC interaction stuff needing skill points is really annoying. Like I should be able to have a basic roll for intimidate/persuasion without having to dump 2 skill points into them. Same with being able to more accurately find gathering materials in the overworld. Skill points seem really scarce given that you need them for almost everything, and having to use them for roleplaying purposes is a real bummer. | ||

The quests are standard MMO quests with "Elder Scrolls" flavor, but the voice acting does help with immersion. Also I don't think I found a single quests where it was "go here and kill 5 spiders", they were at least a bit more inventive than that. Some quests present the player with moral dilemmas which is fun although they don't seem to have much consequence outside of what reward you are given for completion. Also, I'd like to point out that there are hidden quests scattered about and items lying around that point you in their direction (these were not present in the last beta afaik). There is lore scattered about that grants profession points (Again, this is new to this beta) and there are special/elite monsters to find. Skilling up and getting new abilities and gear is the primary driver of getting your character stronger. Each ability can be upgraded from it's initial form into something more useful. There are so many combinations I feel like there must be some OP builds to be discovered. I tried to get some crafting done but couldn't find many recipes. Bottom line I am still not ready to give up on this game, if the combat can somehow get better (I think they should tie movement while in combat to stamina drain) it will be very fun for a few playthroughs at least. For skill points, you need to explore and find those crystal things. Seems every 3 you find gives you an extra skill. So if you want to get crafting up and have a ton of ability choices, you'll need to explore everywhere. | ||
