Yeah, I stopped playing despite that I stupidly paid for a 6 month sub. It's just too boring.

I'll probably check it out when it goes f2p just to see my characters again.

Depressing on all accounts.  Just finished Skyrim and was considering giving it a go

Just "finsihed" this. It SUCKS.
It might be worth a single play-through at $16 or so if you can find a key as I did.
It's worth shit right after that, and HONESTLY it's not even worth that.

As any Bethesda game it's full of motherfucking bugs, - still better then DDO but I feel like stating that is essentially the same as shooting on the red cross...

If you enjoy the Oblivion / Skyrim Lore, well this shit had absolutely fucking nothing to do with it.

A few cool things should be noted however, The support isn't halfassed shit like for DDO, or nearly any other MMO I played.

Mods are the thing. they allow a lot of customization, from inventory handling to fight stats, to ... well basically just a bunch of UI shit.

Money/Making money is a bitch and a pain in the ass.
Crafting is as shitty if not more shitty then it was in Skyrim... maybe also because you can't ~ player.additem ### but heck, if it was a pain in the ass while being able to do that, I don't see how it could possibly not be a pain in the ass without being able to do that.

Horses cost way too fucking much gold. 17k to 52k... basically motherfucking insanity.

Inventory space was such a huge goddamn problem that you truly can't enjoy a run of 1 single dungeon without running out of space.
Expanding said space is pretty fucking expensive too.


And obviously, being a Khajiit, altmer, dunmer, etc. didn't actually affect quest lines or anything at all really.

The worst part of the game is probably dealing with the zone chat and idiots there in.
As an idiotic strategy Zenimax or Bethesda decided not to have server wide auction houses, but guilds instead.
Haven't used them, no point in using them really.
That coupled with not having a /trade or something similar session pretty much makes it so that the zone chat is constantly spammed with shit.

The graphics are pretty fucking bad.
In fact there is not ONE single fucking instance where you remain mesmerized as you would while playing Skyrim - Blackreach anyone?
Literally, best PC, a 2k screen to go with it. maxed out settings - it just fucking blows, no matter what.



I think that if anyone wants an account with 1 level 1 vet, a bunch of shit. 5 mule toons - one for each type of resoruce pretty much - and a bunch of already researched items I might be willing to sell it for $50's worth of Turdbine points.... If I consider that seriously I might actually get all the skills researched, and I'd likely post it as an offer here in the "other games" section...

After-all just cuz I think this game is pure shit - and that it can't hold a candle to skyrim, it doesn't mean that some other dudes/dudettes don't like it...


Eidted:
I never encountered lag in a whole week of game play.
The only one time I was having issues, I can't call it lag, it was like stop motion... and was likely to be caused at my ISP level rather then the server. Time Warner bastards like doing that to me.

The lighting is pretty good in most places; that's what DX11 does for you. But everything glows, and I was constantly mistaking a patch of flowers for a mages guild tome, etc.

And look at those textures! They look like they haven't changed since ES3.

The character models look OK standing still, but as soon as they move, it looks like an alien has eaten out the inside of the person and is trying to walk around by pulling ligaments and tendons while sitting inside the ribcage.

I don't think that it ever occurred to them to do so; that would require them to care about what their players want.

How's this going still?

Anyone here going to give it a second go now?

Wow.

That's fucking good news right there.

Yes, and I cant believe this happened to eso before wildstar.

Munkenmo wrote on Jan 22^nd, 2015 at 3:31am:


eh, only because of console release, ESO did way better then wildstar.

Lehane wrote on Jan 22^nd, 2015 at 10:38am:


I know thats the reason, but im still shocked that wildstar didnt end up announcing b2p or f2p before ESO

There is better way.
Just the game has to be popular as shit.
Lol, dota 2.
