if TESO does bad then it will put other devs/pubs off doing the same.

This is a very true point. SWTOR already put a huge dent in the large developer projects, very strong IP and strong developer. Now you have elder scrolls and ZOS and if you hate wagoners carry on you'll ruin this game and then pretty much make the future development of MMOs so risky no publisher or developer will risk it.

Well let’s hope they pull it off then, only time will tell wont it? you can’t deny that a lot of people where extremely disappointed when they were given the beta access. But they are listening and making the changes which is good to see.

Completely agree, but you have to look at why. Most of them where in the its either too much or not enough like skyrim, combat floaty and starter island was bad. Most of the people on here never got passed level 10.

Now they are fixing these problems and people are still not happy. So please tell what more can they do?

You talk just as bad about Wildstar and defend this game so badly and a lot of others will back me up in saying this.
Click to expand...

I speak badly about wildstar as that is my opinion, I don't continue trolling the wildstar thread or create problems like a lot of people here. I reply to comments aimed at me, but for the most part I don't bother and that is the difference.
 
clartymarty said:
But there is always going to be a battle between 2 MMO's. I much prefer Wildstar to this but it doesn’t stop me putting my views across to why I don’t like it. After all it is a discussion isn’t it???
Click to expand...

But why create a battle? Why can they not co exist for there own audiences?

Its almost like this forum has a complex that only one MMO can be successful and its their duty to spend their entire time forcing and trolling others to agree with their MMO choice.

Yes forums are a discussion, but trolling, hate wagoning and general anti discussion behaviours are not welcome and this is why I'm sitting here in this thread trying to keep this thread on topic and provide help for the people who are interested in this game.

I will give it another go, and If I am inpressed then I will hold my hands up and say so

Then test it again, when you still hate it come back and tells us again how much you hate it. But then move on and stop forcing your opinion onto others.

I watched a pvp video last night on TESO and I have to say..... It looked insanely fun :D some of battles and sieges going on just looked crazy good. Will give it another go this Sunday, am I right in saying the most recent patch notes won't be live this weekend though ? Slight shame if that is true.

That said will prob still login for a bit to get the monkey !
Click to expand...

Correct.

All the awesome updates are in patch 0.18 and this weekends beta is on 0.17.

So it will feel very much the same as previous betas. Sadly.

Anyone got an issue where the launcher just sits there when you click on Play?

My missus and I both have betas and are going to give it another go this weekend. Mine loads up perfectly fine, I click play, then several seconds later I am taken to the login screen. However my missus (identical machine (though not the same one obviously)) , she clicks on Play and hers just sits there on the launcher, never goes on to the login screen.

Anyone encountered that?
Click to expand...

First thing to remember is the game will be the same since you last played it. All the important updates wont be playable this weekend.

Now the issues with the launcher, has she tried repairing it?

Have you tried cutting the 'The Elder Scrolls Online' core folder out of the directory, uninstalling the game, loading the launcher and copying over 'The Elder Scrolls Online' core folder back over?
 
Tombstone said:
Yeah thats ok, she didnt see it last time, so its a chance for her to try it first hand this time around.

Yup, tried repairing it, still doesnt progress when she clicks play. Also tried bypassing the launcher altogether and running the eso.exe directly from the game client folder, just hangs. (on my machine it works fine with both those methods)

Tried deleting her files and copying my ones over across the network, still doesnt work for her. All rather baffling. At this stage, the only thing I can think of left to try is for her to delete everything and re-download it again (though I'd have thought copying my "working" files over is much the same)
Click to expand...

Obvious questions here:

All drivers up to date?
Any anti virus running?
Tried running as admin?
Tried running under different compatibility modes?
Running a VPN/Proxy?

Find a file in the Launcher folder called 'launcher.settings' open with Notepad and look for a line "zosLastError":"Error 104 - DownloadError_NotEnoughSpace - Not enough disk space, please clear up 30GB and try again" like this. This is my one, see if that might help shed some light.

Check the Errors & Log folder in My Documents?
Delete the Elder Scrolls Online folder in My Documents?

Drivers, antivirus, login etc, are all identical to my machine. They are two exact clone machines. Tried deleting the folder in my docs and replacing. No dice.

Have deleted all trace of it on her machine now and redownloading, see if that works

I know its a BS question but can you "sell" me this mmo in terms of previous ones.

Is it EQ2'ish, Is it 1s global cooldowns Rift/SWTOR? Is it DAOC siege warfare ?
is it Classic Warrior/rogue/healer/mage or free spec Ultima online SWG ?

Sorry to be a pidgeon hole'r I dont think this laptop is upto spec to play 2.4ghz I7 8gb ram and a 460M GTX :(

You have 4 classes which you can pick from. They each give you 3 sets of talents which you can intermix, so your not locked to 1 set of talents.

Then you have Armour talents which are Light, Medium and Heavy, again with there own set of talents.

Then you have weapon, which is 2h, 1h and shield, Bow, Staff, Duel Wield and so on, they all have their own unique talents.

Then you have Racial Talents, Guilds Talents, Crafting Talents and PvP talents.

Oh and you can be a Vampire or Werewolf.

So you can make a Heavy Armour wearing Mage, who stealths and uses a Bow, for example.

The way you make your class is up to you.

You have 2k v 2k PvP world combat which they call AvA. Its basically Cyrodiil from Oblivion, with 3 factions fighting for the main city.

Its a game about exploration, there is very little in the way of hand holding. So you don't have a Wildstar Fed Ex style questing, where the NPC's give you pointless quests to move you from one area to the next, you have to find them.


This video was made 8 months ago, so a lot of the things like the animations have been improved.

What a fantastic game!! Completely underestimated the scale. The combat while not much has changed feels good. Not amazing, but good enough.

Graphics are amazing. Not childish crap in sight.

Quests are enjoyable and filled with depth. And not your usual fed ex crap. You actually see the impact of them too.

Definitely day one purchase.

Now excuse me, I need to get back to this game.

Well having played this for the last few hours I'm sorry Latex but you really need to take the blinkers off.

Questing is entirely dull, go fetch bucket of water or go click on NPC X, or go kill so many of Y monsters.

Graphics are average, it runs really well so lower PC's and consoles should be okay

My main gripe is still the awful combat, it's just disconnected and empty again like hitting air.

Now, saying all that, it is not a terrible game and I can see how it will appeal to Skyrim fans and maybe it does get better at higher levels but as it stands it's plain average IMO.
Click to expand...

I have no blinkers on, I think the game is currently the best offering Mmo to be coming out at the moment.

Questing is thousands of times better then wildstar. No question.

The combat as discussed is fixed in patch 0.18, so you can't use that excuse anymore. Pvp I agree feels floaty, but they had to make a choice, massive pvp or smaller pvp with collision.

Graphics average?? You definitely Are trolling there.

Thing is you went into the game already hating it and came out hating it. And you never left starter island, so you probably got to level 6 ish based upon what you have said. So you have already judged a Mmo which takes weeks to play in a couple of hours.

Mayleu're right. I've never played an MMO before so ESO may be good compared to thhhough I wonder why people could waste their time with them if this is supposedly good compared to the rest.
Click to expand...

Compared to other mmos it's not that great. Wow is better, gw2 And a few others. But you have to bare in mind that other games have been on the market for longer and have had time to add and fix things.



I can't tell the difference between this and two betas ago (I didn't play the last one)
Click to expand...

That's because it's the same version. As explained in previous posts, it's for testing the megaservers.



Maybe they're great compared to other MMOs, but on the grand scale of video game graphics they're nothing to write home about. My graphics settings are set to the highest on everything.
Click to expand...

For an MMO they are very good. Mmos generally have lower quality graphics.



Well I've sank over 2000 hours in the last three Elder Scrolls games so I was looking forward to this. I've put a few hours in and don't wish to play any further. I don't have to eat a full meal to realise I don't like the taste of it, the same as I don't have to play two weeks worth of ESO to realise that it's boring.
I was expecting something else. I was expecting something resembling Skyrim but where you could see and chat to other players on the map. Instead I get what I can only describe as "Trackmania - Elder Scrolls"
Click to expand...

You went in expecting Skyrim and left disappointed. What did you expect? That's the problem with most of the people in this forum, they expected Skyrim and they never got it. It's a completely different game....

But hey, at least you tried it.

Latex holy Mary mother of god you praised gw2 (albeit in a backhand fashion) where do you live?! I think I need to get a doctor to you ASAP!!! ;):):D:p
Click to expand...

For all of its failings, it was somewhat enjoyable. Just end game content as always lets mmos down.

And I know newts :D we will be best friends if this keeps going on.
 
eekfek said:
I raised some valid points, firstly the questing is just as generic as other MMos yet you seem to act like it's revolutionary !!
Click to expand...

Yeah I read your comments and replied. Some of them where not valid. Like the PVE combat as that's fixed already and I agreed on the pvp.

I never said questing was revolutionary, I said I felt it had depth and purpose and it's much better then wildstars. Again answering your points.

Graphics are average, average if you look at what a modern day PC can push out. My rig ran this maxed out with no problems which is also a good thing but don't act like this is Crysis 4. I'm not just talking visuals and eye candy, I'm also saying the animations look average which they are.
Click to expand...

Since you seem to be new to mmos, ill explain

Mmos have since forever had lower graphical quality then single player and other multiplayer games. Now when I said the graphics are fantastic, that is in relation to Mmo graphics and other Mmo games. Not singleplayer or multiplayer games.

Now, every MMo I've ever played has clicked with me within the first few hours. This simply doesn't do that for me and neither does Wildstar (not that it's relevant).

I'm still going to level up over the weekend, let a few mates try it and see what they think, I value their mature unbiased opinions you see.
Click to expand...

Now your just decending into childish name calling. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I will stop discussing this game with you here, there is no point discussing when people get upset and angry.
