Games The Elder Scrolls MMO

[Raven]

Don't worry...35 min queue!

...which has somehow increased to 40 mins.

 

[Raven]

Meh, the starter zone annoys me.

Is this game aimed at retards or something?

mob! see mob! attack mob! loot! lol!

Crashed when I tried to leave the starter zone and couldn't be arsed with the queue to get back in...will try again tomorrow morning...and yes I will fill in the form.

Certainly doesn't feel very Elder Scrolls from first impressions.

That was my impression from the first beta test i did. Wanted to give it another go tonight but was delayed by the trains first then got home to find i'd deleted it...

Got to level 5, feels ok I guess, didn't really grab me.

Will prolly play a bit more over the weekend. The combat feels a bit airy fairy.

The story irritated me. I know it's an MMO, but it doesn't exactly give a lot of multiplayer stuff outside of PvP either... I just don't like the way the story jumps straight in to the biggest possible evil dude being responsible, and says "hey, he put you in this pit. Now go get strong so you can fight him."
I think they'd have done a lot better to start with a simple thing, like one person did the whole sacrificing thing, and you investigate, find it was part of something bigger, discover how big this cult thing is, and how deep in society it goes, THEN find out who/what is really behind it. Far better way of playing out a story in my opinion, rather than "here, it's all there, but you can't do anything about it yet."

Well i played some last night and a bit this morning. However the 10 minute load screens are getting a bit much. The AD has you go through a fair few of them and sitting around each time is fairly annoying., ofc its down to the stress test, but still...pretty boring

 

[Mabs]

bad load times on zones atm, just took me almost 10 mins to get out of a quest zone

 

[Raven]

Played it a bit more today and got into the world proper. I like it but the combat could be better. playing an archer and apparently shooting an arrow into the ground agros mobs miles away from where you shot. The UI could be much better too, it doesn't give you much feedback, I don't want hand holding but tracking multiple quests would be nice without having to go into the map or journal. The graphics are really nice, probably the best I have seen in an MMO.

 

[Overdriven]

The 10-15m load time between major zones drives me mental. Am usually porting between minor-zones (in/out of dungeons) in about a second.

Unsure how I feel about the game still which is interesting. Will hammer it tomorrow and see if it's worth actually paying for.

 

[cog]

How long roughly does it take to get out of the starter zone? I'm still 5 at the moment, want to explore a bit more but not sure how much I can play this weekend. Starter zone just feels a bit... meh. I want a bit more meat to the game!

Honestly no idea. Am also L5, in the middle of some forest activating shrines (Now on a 15m loading screen..) Need moar official details.

 

[Hawkwind]

Game crash after leaving starter area. Now cant login - constant error 103. Finding it a bit simplistic, especially the combat. Looks nice but meh, not really grabbing me.

 

[Moriath]

Think they bought the server down till 8:30 ish

 

[Fefner]

Yep server down, Cyrodiil coming online for an event i think ( unless the event was earlier )

It's ok, in WoW today it took 6 hours to get from stormwind to deeprun tram

 

[LordjOX]

40+ min queue atm it seems

 

[Moriath]

The queue system lies a lot. Said that yesterday and I was in in ten

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Not gonna break NDR.

However on a completely random and unrelated subject absolutely just because I happened to be on the intarnetwebs tonight...

[Moriath]

You face palm sky rim too ?

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

You face palm sky rim too ?

You've never had a palm in your rim? I find that hard to believe

 

[Moriath]

Not yours

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

Sometimes its good to be in a minority

 

[Moriath]

In this case I agree that not having your palm on my rim is indeed a good thing

 

[Mabs]

well they appear to have fixed the servers since last so u can actually zone now

 

[pikeh]

So what, this game is £60, £80 for the deluxe edition that if you don't pre-order you don't get access to a main race, £9.00 a month in subs AND they have a cash store? Am I missing something? I've not heard really many good things about this game but doesn't the above just take the piss?

 

[Moriath]

Twenty percent off on gmg till the tenth.

 

[pikeh]

Bargain. :\


Just think this is a slippery slope, that's all. Subs and a cash shop? I'm not saying that by supporting this game you are contributing to the death of PC gaming, but by supporting this game you are contributing to the death of PC gaming.

 

[Moriath]

It's not just a pc game it's console as well I think.

 

[pikeh]

Exactly! Extortionate costs for console games means higher price for PC users.
