Elder Scrolls Online open Beta this weekend! get your keys at Curse.com, and Download your client now to avoid the rush! I'm gonna make a kitty I think, Meow!
I may get it eventually. I usually refrain from buying MMO's on the release date. Too many server issues, etc. I know Beta is free, but i prefer finished product quality and fun gameplay over "being first" and keep getting certain issues that prevent me from having said fun. :derpe: TOR was a mess when it first launched.
I played it. Didn't like it. I think they should have just released an Elder Scrolls game with small scale multiplayer.
I found it ok, feels like a standard mmo to me. Though a 2 to 4 player CoOp would have been much better I think.
It's just hard to get sucked into the game like I did with Elder Scrolls V when they're telling me "no one has been in this cave for hundreds of years" and you see people going in and out of it like it was a Disneyland ride.
I played it last beta weekend, it's a lot of fun. I see potential in it, but I likely won't actually play the game unless it goes F2P. Spoiler: And I hope to god someday they make it compatible with this [video=youtube;k7n5kRRHDpw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7n5kRRHDpw[/video]
It was Ok, However I don't think it can justify having a monthly Subscription + Retail price. It just feels weird having people around and filling up a city, but no real in depth interaction with each other. A much smaller Co-op 2-6 players seems a much better fit with multiplayer similar to Fable, where you can drop into other peoples Worlds and do everything you can do in single player. I'll give the Beta another bash this weekend and delve deeper into the quests and multiplayer aspects but I don't think it's for me.
It looks cool, but I'm not a big MMO fan. I love TES, but I probably won't get it. Still sounds awesome, though.
Simplified combat, your toon looks Elder Scrollsy and the quests kinda seem Elder Scrollsy but the gameplay is all too MMOy. Still fun but i like MMOs I spend most my time in SWTOR for crying out loud. If you're on the fence wait a year till they concede and go F2P ^_-
I've been on the closed beta for awhile. I feel if they turn it into a f2p it would be the best on the market for MMORPGs I do not like the idea the Zenimax is nickel and diming it's fanbase. You have to pay 100 bucks for the collector's edition (so you can play the Imperial Race), and not only that it will be sub'd at 15 bucks and it's 60 bucks to buy the game. That being said I rather enjoy the game, but as soon as it releases fully I'm not sure I'll want too invest in it. That voice acting though, and I feel this calls to the Elder Scrolls style of action-based gameplay. (I'm sry I've never enjoyed the WoW MMORPG style gameplay) The music is epic. I just wish the nickel and diming wouldn't happen. They should look at the monetization models of EVE and WoW if they want to make it sub based.
