All in all shows more people possitive on this game then negative... Which somehow feels like a mirracle on this website..
I still am a firm believer in this game, and i know many with me..

I agree it cheapens the experience. To be honest though, its not really a defining feature of a themepark game and only one of the complaints from the sandbox crowd which seem more bothered by the fact that themepark directs the player through a specific path around the world instead of just letting them do whatever they want with no clear objective or purpose outside of their own imagination.
As for the quest assistance, Its more something they added over the years because players were just alt-tabbing anyway and checking some internet database all the time to find a quest objective. Even I did it now and then for the more frustrating quests. Also, it takes the blame from developers who just suck at explaining quests and objectives.
Its 50 -50 actually.

Being "very much in doubt" means you still can go either way. It is a poorly constructed poll anyway. There is only one positive choice and basically 2 negative choices. Either the "very much in doubt" choice should be removed (as it is essentially the same as the last choice but sounds far more negative) or a second more positive choice such as "Likely will try it but need to know more".
Because of this it is not 50-50 and you will never be able to measure the result due to the poor choices offered.
You stay sassy!
You're arguing that "very much in doubt" can be positive? The question is "Are you happy with where the game currently stands?" Being very much in doubt is never a positive response to that question. It could potentially be semi-positive if the question was whether or not someone was going to buy the game, but that's just not the question.
It's a really poor poll, but it seems pretty clear to me that 2 of the options are negative, one is positive while the fourth one is neutral. The results do seem to be very close to 50/50 when considering whether or not someone responded positive or negative to the poll.
Polls like this i always find so abstract, 1 positive answer, 2 negative, and one undecided.
As of me reading this, its 41% of people are happy, 20.9 unhappy, 20.9 concerned.
Interpreting the polls seems to suggest that its 50-50. happy vs non happy. which isnt apparent apon first looking at the graph.

sandbox people are unhappy? They are few and, if they are looking at TESO, they are simply looking at the wrong game. TESO is a themepark, the game kind that most MMO players want, but with a lot of sandbox/freedom features. Just like Skyrim (Skyrim is not a real sandbox, only with mods the game can be totally changed and you can't permit mods in a MMO). So if they are unhappy, it's purely their fault, looking at a game not designed for them.
Yeah it totally makes sense that in an alliance or faction you should be murdering your own faction nonstop..... You should play Darkfall
Actually... Killing your own faction makes you a murderer and as soon as someone sees you doing this... You will be a cast out, that cant come intoo towns, cant come near guards, and all NPC including questgivers stop talking to you..
its not that kind of game...

But that's not real game play .....you have to show real game action
PvP will always generate a ton of complaints regardless of how it is implemented.
Better just ignore them, and make the best game they can.
at least they don't seem to gone with the whorey-chic "style" of tera....
Advice for Beta testers, crank the graphics settings up. Given all the different opinions, I'm thinking maybe they don't have a system that sets your graphics automagically yet since its not packed in release format or whatever yet?
My option isn't based on game play but common sense. Certain builds/weapons will be op. That's most of what you will see in battle, at least until it gets nerf'ed. The factions will be unbalanced, because of the race lock, starting land and race skills. It won't be much fun fighting for a keep when its mostly just npcs. There will be zerging. There will be bugs and exploits. All those nice graphic settings will be turned way down to cut down on lag, since a lot of people won't be using top end machines.
The game will be competing against FF Reborn(sub), Improved WoW(sub), Wildstar(sub) and Landmark, so any problems are going to be bigger because people will all ready be tempted to try out or go back to the other games.
Yes, I'm very happy witht he results of this poll, looks like a lot of people still confused yet though. Theres a lot of fan sites that can tell them a lot about this game if they want to know more about it.
Quest gaming network, Shoddycast, and tamrielfoundry are just a few great resources to find out about the game.

I'm one of those casual PvE story people, but i'm still on doubt
it's either TESO or Wildstar, i have to choose one of them
wait and see is my stance on this matter
But why ? i mean ESO is the only game of the two with an actual release date ?
As far as i remember Wildstar has nothing but a vague 2Q date and nothing else. I see no reason not to jump into ESO play through the story, and then after a few months you can jump into Wildstar.
Excellent point, there's absolutely no harm in killing time with it,[mod edit]

Yeah, it totally makes sense that if there is an alliance of faction that the crime of murder would just suddenly vanish. The pride it creates would make everything all rosey, even to the point of it placing up invisible walls around your boarders so the war never reaches it.
All is well in the lands of alliances and factions.

I have not played a mmo in months now. Just for the fact that I only play it for a few months tops. Nothing has been really ground breaking for the genre. The genre is really at blah a stage right now. IMO
I don't care much for story, I love Sandbox games, and I love PvP, and I will definitely buy and play ESO.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
The yellow and red outlines are pretty cheezy (from the quakecon video). I know they are diablo-esque, but they just don't fit in elder scrolls.
they should use something more subtle or just turn it off. It really takes away from the graphics if you ask me.
There must be another way to do it so the whole screen isn't filled with red and yellow toxic waste monsters.
They said a long time ago that it was optional and could be turned off. While playing I really didnt even notice it happening.
