TESO thoughts about the beta ?

last beta round i played it it crashed for me after 30 minutes. set all the details and stuff to lowest and it crashed again. this time after 15 minutes. put everything to max and the loading took a bit longer but it didn't crash at all. so imo it's poorly optimised.

other then that, it was the weekend so lag was to be expected. but it was just too bad for me to want to continue playing. not even considering getting it, and hoping they will just bring out number 6 :(

It has a beautiful world, decent story & quests and great voice acting; but the gameplay is so dull, it's unbearable. Also, it feels like playing a singleplayer game, and the optimization is the worst part, especially for an MMORPG.

cba even trying it for that price (and subscription)

You can see alot of people agree with you here

It has good production values but it screams single player and that's what it should have been.

About the payment... I don't like paying more than a certain amount of money for games, and that's why I hate games like WoW (especially WoW), so I find the montly payment terrible. But I heard that Bethesda will add DLC-sized, or micro DLC-sized, content every month, which if it's true, then it's totally worth the money to me. I believe it will become a B2P sometime after a year or two.
Now, about the game.
I got the chance to play it for a couple of hours, and I really like it as a game. Sure it is not like Skyrim or Oblivion, but it's really nice. I like the character developemt, even though I kind of not like the classes perks, and I am still not sure if stabbing exists... The gameplay seems nice for a MMORPG. Actually, it's one of the bests. I have to play a MMORPG for 2 years, with last one being Metin 2 (which I was playing for years), so I can actually be sure about that. BUT, it lacks customization, which is a heavy portion of a MMORPG. For example, I picked Khajit, so my passive perk is that the medium armor's experience advances faster than the light and the heavy armor, BUT, I have not found a single medium armor piece yet... Only 3 light armor pieces and 1 heavy armor pieces.. But the game is in BETA, so I cannot really judge that much the game yet.

The game looks like a single player and feels like one, doesn't attract me at all
The combat system is not so great, i only played Templar.
Maybe they will improve, but i doubt that can make miracles in less then 3 months

Its good for most mmo players nowadays, they mostly want single player gaming even in MMO and refuse to play in groups.

This game doesn't deserves to be called "the elder scrolls".

1. Feels booring.
2. There is more color in the real world than in the "magical world of tamriel"
3. The animations are horrible. I never thought that it's possible to make a pretty looking character look so bad while running/swimming.
4. It doesn't deserves all those money....

Played a few hours, the combat is ok, but not really interesting, the quests are ok as well, the only interesting thing for me would be traveling throught the whole world of Tamriel, but that's mostly all there is for me and I wouldn't pay monthly for it, maybe they'll make it a buy 2 play game, than I'd consider buying it ;)

Played for 3/4 hours it's a decent game. I like the environments ( I've visited Skyrim and Morrowind).The combat is clunky: sometimes you hit the opponent and he doesn't get any damage. The graphics are not that great, there are alot of very-very-very low res texture around. It feels like a single player game! In any case I don't feel like a subscription model is a good thing for this game. If ESO had been like Guild Wars 2 ( pay once, buy something later if you want) I would have bought it.

Tried to uninstall the game using CCleaner, the game is still there (you have to delete the folder by yourself) -_- Zenimax really wants to force us to play their game...

I tried about 10 times to create a character but each time I got "name already in use" even if I tried completely random names so this TESO must be the most successful beta EVER if all names are taken.

I'm probably one of biggest TES fanboys out there, and I say.. This game is totally not worth of monthly payment. After playing the beta yesterday and today I can tell you that the game won't only be f2p within a year.. it will probably go f2p in 3-6 months lol.

The game is awesome but it is not something anyone would pay monthly for. And just as you said, I wouldn't mind giving 60€ for it in total.

it's a VERY, VERY, VERY standard boring MMO, they trying to hide that fact by Elder Scrolls franchise, it's nothing more than - kill three spiders. find four stones, press three switches, and you just run across the map from one to another NPC . ZERO innovation. It's TERA with first person view and Elder Scrolls textures. I think everybody were secretly hoping for some sort of Skyrim Multiplayer but it;s really JUST ANOTHER MMO RPG. Seriously.

Monthly payment = no buy

Very boring, Uninstalled after few hours.

i hate all the damn loading screens between areas. it seems like in the first 5 mins of game play i went through like 7 loading screens and that bugs the hell out of me its not like were playin n64 or ps1 now

This is what I think

With this being my third beta weekend for TESO I can honestly say, It's a lot better now then it was that first weekend. Still laggy has heck in places.

The problems with the game this weekend mostly stems from the massive amount of people logging in, which makes sense since this is their 'server stability test' weekend. But yeah, being 20 people in que 5 minutes after opening was rather annoying.

Game play, I've referred to it before as 'Cookie Cutter'.... and I'll stick to that. Especially after I was talking to a friend about it and he thought I was talking about another MMORPG with roughly the same layout, story and character skill tree.

All in all, I'll wait till it becomes F2P.

loading...

Just started it.
I got a nice Khajiit kitten with a bow.
This pleases me.

Not worth the price. #corta
