nothing like instant teleportation from any location to any location to give a decisive FUCK YOU to immersion

Because if you really want immersion you'll walk and immerse yourself. The options are what makes elder scrolls great. Play and enjoy the game however you like.

Well everyone is entitled to his opinion, but I dont know what MMOs are having better graphics than ESO ?
Maybe mention 3 or five out of the multitude of mmos.

And of course they made adaptations to the story, if you don't like adaptations you really must hate prequels, sequels and re-imaginations. They even did changes in the TES series themselves and contradictions...

I cant think of any mmo that is more immersive at the current time, spoken texts, well thought out areas quests and reappearing characters.

For me, I just like it.
I mean taste is in the eye of the beholder but some things like TES having top graphics compared to other mmos is just a fact. You may dislike the art style itself, but you cant dispute the other fact.

Yeah, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Too bad you didn't write as though you were just talking about your opinion, you were writing as though you were just stating facts.
Also you said and i quote "it will be the best in graphics" even though an MMO like TERA easily has better graphics, especially since in TERA the armor doesn't look as though it is painted onto the character.

Adaptions? It's no longer TES, that's why it's non-canon. They have changed so much they could just as well have created their own universe, it's a poorly done TES paint-job. Again, races lose the things that make them unique, races that hate eachother are suddenly friends just because, the big evil that's threatening everyone could be stopped by the dunmer alone and they would be home for tea as well. Not to mention anytime anything was even a little bit too complicated they ruled it out as a transcription error. The endless jungles of cyrodill? Transcription errors, the amazing cities of summerset isle? Transcription errors. I could go dig up lists of things they have done to butcher the lore, they haven't just made small changes, they have completely ruined big parts of the lore, that's why even bethesda is now taking a stance that this game isn't canon, because it's so fucking dumb.
Oh and let's not get started on how none of the factions make any sense. Or how Elder scrolls are now fucking CTF objects, the whole thing the series is meant to be built on, scrolls of unfathomable influence on reality itself, are fucking capture the fucking flag objects.

And yes i can, it looks incredibly bland to me. The items often fit incredibly awkwardly onto the characters and the clothing looks as though it was painted onto the character.
It might come as a shocker, but for an MMO your character is really fucking important, having the characters looking bad is a huge step down.

You are joking. The only thing all recent MMOs have done well on is graphics. It's really easy to get good graphics, you can just throw money at it and the graphics will go up. You can't just throw money at gameplay and expect it to go up.

What? ESO has one of the most exciting combat systems to date. It has realtime combat with blocking and attacks from the mouse just like a singleplayer game. Also abilities are just support, the balance is more towards actual player skill than levels and abilities chosen.

I feel like we played a different game in beta. I played a 2h melee class and it was some of the most boring, unintuitive, and awkward combat of any mmo I've ever played.

I dont think he's played the beta because I totaly agree that melee combat feels terrible.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

I find it a little disingenuous to say that TESO has one of the most exciting combat systems when games like TERA and Blade And Soul both exist. The combat in this feel incredibly clunky and slow/unresponsive. Having "real time combat" doesn't automatically make it good, the system itself comes with a multitude of challenges the devs have to overcome. Combat was never a huge selling point of TES games and TESO certainly isn't changing my mind about that.

But for the sake of it: A lot of new coming asian MMO's look way better than TESO does. You want three examples? ArcheAge, Black Desert, Bless.

jesus fuck calm down we get you don't like the game, why do you feel obligated to preach this to people who have genuine interest in it ? If I tell you not to watch that movie you are so waiting for will that stop you ? I will still play that game even if I come from the camp of my favorite game being sold to another developer and getting destroyed with a couple of shitty releases - I have Neverwinter Nights in mind.

I don’t see why this is bad. Multiplayer games are bad for telling stories, because the world is persistent and mobs/bosses/key characters respawn.

Imagine Alduin was in "Skyrim MMO". What would happen? Once you defeat him, it does not make sense that other players can defeat him too... since, you know, you already defeated him. You also can't defeat him a second time because in MMO you can't reload.

So yeah, MMO is terrible for story telling.

You can do the same thing over and over in Borderlands 2 or Diablo 3 and those games told a story pretty well, at least Borderlands 2 did. The point is you can have story in any game, just write in an engaging quest series and you're done. It doesn't even have to be required but it can be there.


Good point but those aren't MMOs. MMOs have something similar in instanced dungeons (where the storytelling can be better) but in the open world they are quite different (not limited to 4-8 players).

I will give you an example, SWG preCU. You built cities, you opened shops, met people, formed guilds, alliances, built bases and tried to destroy enemy bases, meanwhile cantinas were full of people resting with musicians and entertainers just chatting between them and their audience, tips flying over, shoppers would or not accept special orders, giving different kind of treatment to their clients, or prices, their shops would be decorated, medics would be around to heal or buff, forming lines in adventure or war zones selling the precious buffs. Resources spot would be generated, and people would need to scout the zones, and fly over to plant their resource gatherers before other people did, renting those resource gatherers was also normal. War would rage for months, forums would become flame festivals, and in some cases, one faction could dominate the another for some time making them quit. The worlds were not just paths to level up.

If there is something than MMORPGs can do amazingly on a sandbox enviroment, is to give players the tools to create their own story, which is in my opinion way more rewarding as a player than guided storytelling.



Big thumbs up. In my MMO career SWG preCU was one hell of an amazing experience. Totally open world, huge planets and amazing crafting system. People made careers out of that crafting system, cities would be full with players that offered tons of different stuff. It was a real breathing econemy. Also the class system, you could study and mix tons of classes i remember. Like Doctor and Teras Kasi for example.

So good memories from that MMO, its never been an MMO like it ... Thinking back on it, it was probably the most advanced MMO. Cant think of any that come close to it now. Sure MMO today have more exciting combat but man, here you had open world PvP. It was amazing.


Sounds cool. Eve and Ultima Online (pre-expansions) are/were the only others like it.

It has top graphics for an mmo, an immersive world and is going to have a good story.

It most definitely doesn't have top graphics. And they could definitely put some more work into models and equipment.
Good story? All i have to do is say: Tribunal and any story there was is gone. The tribunal is enough to clear any threat molag bal might be.

But it will be the best in graphics and even lore and immersion wise.

TESO? Best in lore? pfthahaha, yeah after murdering and butchering the TES lore, i'm sure it will have good lore, oh wait, it doesn't. Instead we get bland races and mary sue leaders for them (Altmer leader).
There's a very good reason why TESO is non-canon.


Well everyone is entitled to his opinion, but I dont know what MMOs are having better graphics than ESO ?
Maybe mention 3 or five out of the multitude of mmos.

And of course they made adaptations to the story, if you don't like adaptations you really must hate prequels, sequels and re-imaginations. They even did changes in the TES series themselves and contradictions...

I cant think of any mmo that is more immersive at the current time, spoken texts, well thought out areas quests and reappearing characters.

For me, I just like it.
I mean taste is in the eye of the beholder but some things like TES having top graphics compared to other mmos is just a fact. You may dislike the art style itself, but you cant dispute the other fact.


You are joking. The only thing all recent MMOs have done well on is graphics. It's really easy to get good graphics, you can just throw money at it and the graphics will go up. You can't just throw money at gameplay and expect it to go up.


What? ESO has one of the most exciting combat systems to date. It has realtime combat with blocking and attacks from the mouse just like a singleplayer game. Also abilities are just support, the balance is more towards actual player skill than levels and abilities chosen.


I did not play the beta, but I did play Skyrim and I have some idea of what you are referring to... so no, it is not innovative and certainly not a sign of 'fun' or 'success'. Just see TERA and Blade and Soul.

Graphics don't mean much if the gameplay isn't there.

Gameplay > graphics, everytime.


This!

But for the sake of it: A lot of new coming asian MMO's look way better than TESO does. You want three examples? ArcheAge, Black Desert, Bless.


when does archeage actually come out in europe. still waiting for that one
