Helping you a bit to remember a few more things like Horrible Combat, Horrible Skill Animations & Character Movement, Horrible choice locking a race to Imperial Edition, Horrible lack of Nameplates etc, Horrible easy mobs, bosses & content, Horrible Dungeon experience https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLBHjwCw088
If in the near future need me to refresh your memory with a few more things, i ll always be available
Cheers!
Gloria Victis... and it ain't even done.
Pft not if they have a cash shop than. I will just instant level for $49.99.
It's got some very good combat and animations. There are thousands of people online right now!
Cheers!
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Gloria Victis looks like an awesome game, but it isn't going to make it because of it's smooth combat system.

Why would you want to play a game that is supposedly so terrible that it could not sustain it's membership?
I don't quite get the thought process that people have in that they want a game to do poorly so that they can play it without paying. It's even more bizarre when you have people saying how they dislike so many things about a game, yet will (and want to) play it if it goes f2p. Why?
Isn't your time worth anything to you? I don't play games that I have no interest in regardless of their cost.
Do you not realize that with your statement you're simultaneously saying that the game isn't good and will "fail" (in subscription MMO terms) but that you will then play it.
A lot of folks in this thread continue to be ignorant by assuming that if the same 25 people keep posting their dislike or that they think its a mess that the view reflects the majority when it does not. Every single poll that has been released in even these forums which have a huge sandbox following has been overwhelmingly positive of ESO. If it was an actually fan site, like Reddit, than it would even be higher.
The first few reviews on Metacritic have also been overwhelmingly positive. Of course the user reviews are going to be lower because everyone who dislikes it just puts a 1 for everything and that mathematically skews everything to around the 6-7.5 range despite the majority view. Its just their way of having fun since they aren't playing anything else that is doing well and they are bitter lol. Will we see some professional negative reviews. Of course.
I LOVED Captain America but despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews there will still be some with some negative ones and thats what opinions are about.
Oh..and Escapist has a history of reviewing MMOs without understanding how to review them.

For some reason people use f2p as the equivalent of failing. If the game went f2p on release they would complain it should have went subscription.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Gloria Victis? Personally I am tired of those cheap shell-games, especially when I now have the real deal in ESO. Until they screw-up the combat system with future OP buffs, why should I leave perfection for a hollow shell?

I would have been one of those :-). Not one F2P game has held my interest for more than 3 months. Subscription games generally have held me for over 6 months.

I don't see the combat system being that bad, honestly, atleat in pvp. Sure, animations, floaty characters, sense of hitting, etc, i get, but the mechanics, felt solid the short time i was in Cyrodiil.
Blocking, dodging,sneaking based on los, good variety of skills, etc. Now, real collision detection or removing the stupid tab targtting/auto hiting BS from kitting would be excelent, but, it's not that bad. But yeah, the animations make it look terrible.
In pve, yeah, most of the mobs just charge you and that's it.
Oh well, lol if it goes free to play I will play it. The only game worth subbing for imo is WOW. Right now it's not since i already cleard heroic SOO with my guild. So i'm awaiting WOD. If this goes F2P or hits the bargain bin for $10 this will be my filler.
Agree with you. I come here to see what other ESO fans are doing. ie addons, dungeons, campaigns, ect. I'm dumb enough to get caught up in reading ignorant posts and trying to defend the game. I am not sure what they get out of it by upsetting people.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
While the game looks okay, I can't help but feel it will be nothing more than what MO turned out to be. Which if that's what you're looking for that's great. I have a hard time believing we're going to see any real kind of society form in it, given the lack of restrictions. The player police concept really never works, and they've been trying it since UO. IT's a system that supports the wolves, and like any other they'll drive away those they view as their sheep.

Why are people comparing ESo to D3 launch? D3 ain't a MMO.
MMOS all together a different beast when its comes to programming.
Yup... deeper crafting, meaningful pvp, etc,etc on top of the better combat system.
No one compared it to D3 lol, the question was posed, "what would a blizzard launch look like in this day and age?"... everyone said d3.
Besides...If they can't get a ARPG off the ground online after how many years in development? How do you think they'd fare with an MMO? :P

Ya, right. Coming here with no real proof is very short sighted. Perhaps when the game actually comes out we can compare the two.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Donno how FFA it will be... my hunch is considering the existence of empires + territory control + a unique take on a death penalty is that it may turn out to be somewhat more non-pvp orientated player friendly than EVE-Online ( plus the combat system makes anyone that's actually every fought using its combat system a threat to a PVPer so outright ganks may be more difficult to pull off and could actually backfire ).
You crusade around defending this game with less proof so your point, if it even exists, is ironic.
If people are complaining, ESO did something right. It's when people aren't whining about stuff that's a bad sign, because it means no one is playing anymore.
In today's society, if you aren't whining, you aren't contributing. Just ask 90% of the posters here
Currently Playing: ESO and FFXIV
Have played: You name it
If you mention rose tinted glasses, you better be referring to Mitch Hedberg.
I have a lot more proof concerning ESO than you do of a game that isn't out yet. There are also thousands of people playing this game and I'm sure none of them have Gloria Victis experience.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Hopefully, we definitely need more games like that, I just don't understand why no one adopts SWG's system of PVP when they want player politics and societies to form. It worked perfectly, guild wars and overt/covert status, bounties..bases, etc.., served everyone's needs.As did the faction system with a neutral option.

I am pretty sure he was talking about what Blizzards MMO launch would like in this day and age. Like is aid what goes into release of MMO isn't the same as what goes into releasing a single player / co op game.
