if you were to honestly go on what "the mob" here at mmorpg.com thinks, then only sandbox games would be any good or have any hope of having success lol
because you are in a large guild? i do agree that is TESO's biggest issue but i don't think it will be an issue for most.
most people will play this game with a small group of friends or solo.
for those people i don't think the faction lock will b a huge deal and prevent them from trying the game.
if you let a feature like that prevent you from trying the game then that is sad indeed...... unless you are in a large guild already like i said before.
I think I recieved eye damage from trying to read that...
If a game fails the company is to blame, not the customers, don't ever try getting into business or running your own where customers are involved, you will hate it.
Indeed, how cute, your title berates the mob for their opinion, then you go on and kick someone for theirs. How very cute.
Block list, here's a new friend for you to play with.

I don't hate. I am actually looking forward to getting some hands on with this game. I am not crying because it isn't Skyrim online. The game is what the game is. I am fine with that.
That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!
Threads like these make me hurl.
They only exist to antagonize portions of the forum.
Are the mods sleeping this one out?
Welcome to MMORPG.com.
Forums and MMO-gaming site that i've lost faith in since 2004 (yeah, we all know what that year brought into the MMO community, that used to be one of the better communities over the internet)
The Devs of TESO are making a MMO, not a MMO according to OUR definition, but a MMO as defined by Stock Holders, Accountants, and Wall Street Speckulators. It is also the definition used by MOST People that have heard of MMOs, and especially the People that bought WOW and LOTRO and SWTOR and RIFT and played it just because it was cool or because their Dad played it or their Neighbor.
TESO won't be a MMO according to another definition of MMO... as defined by old school and hard core MMO Players that want the best.
No, TESO *IS* a MMO, according to MOST people's definition. That's the problem and noone can fault the Devs for that. That falls on the Stock Holders and Investors. The Masses. "Tab target, WOW clone bullshit" *IS* what a MMO *IS*. Now.
I ain't happy with this, but as my real life Son, an Accountant, would say.... "We don't matter. Just the Numbers". This applies to all of real life, not just MMOs, and there lies the real danger.
We can complain all we want. It won't matter now. We are heading for the bottom of the Sine Wave. Grab a hold of something.
Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
Damn, if this were true and everything was equal (ie: it isn't - some betas look better than other products' final versions), I guess Warhammer and LOTRO must have been really really ugly at one point.

Really? Which one is that? Because I count 2 games there that require purchases. Did Rift go F2P when I wasn't looking?
Also... er.. most of those games still have quite a few people playing, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Ah, I never got that far. Thanks for the info. That makes his/her post even more inaccurate. /OT

I have been MMOing from the date on EQ1 launch day. Been around the block 14 odd years just on MMOs, been gaming almost 30 years. Still wont see me hating and acting I know what a game is really like before I get to really try it. If the game does not fit what I want I look for another. I may say why I dont like the game and but then I walk away. Taking over every thread where fans of the game are trying to talk about the game and turning everyone of them into a hate thread is where I am getting sick of it. If the game is that bad, then go find one you like. Many here have said very clearly, unless the game is remade from the ground up. They would not play it, yet they are here every day bashing in every thread.
Im personally sick of the gear grind and happy with a MMO that focuses on teaming and fun over tones of heavy raid content that gets you fishing for new gear every 6-12 month. Games like GW2 and ESO are right what I am looking for. Something I can log on and play for 2-3 hours and skill matters over gear. Where I can get in any team even though I have shorter time to make my char uber like I did back in the day with EQ1 and WoW. DAoC was my first taste of that type of game play and I have been waiting for a game to do that again. I think ESO can do that. As a fan of the game I would like at least one thread where the hate stays out and we can talk about the game. That has yet to happen here.
Off by one. Good call out. Truly worth trying to derail.
I guess it depends how one defines "quite a few".
Kiling rats makes a game a WOW clone? He was doing it out of his own free will, not something he was asked to do, he was still on the ship he arrived on. So what about that has anything to do with WOW? You realize also that during the act of killing those rats, he was using a staff by hitting the left mouse button, just like you would in TES V killing a skeever? Nothing like WOW combat...thanks...
Here's an excerpt from the recent Gameinformer for anyone curious about questing (this is from the starting area after 4 hours of play)
"Throughout my four hours of play , I never once was asked to kill ten rats, collect twelve bear tongues, or find sixteen scattered relics. Every quest has a decent-to-good story attached to it, and every objective would feel right at home in Skyrim or Oblivion. The questing I undertook in ESO is a cut above any designer scripted solo adventuring I've done in other MMORPGs."

Not trying to derail this thread, however would like to give some general information.
1) Morrowind had classes, as per the manual.
Combat Specialized Classes Magic Specialized Classes Stealth Specialized Classes
Warriors Mages Thieves
Barbarians Sorcerers Agents
Crusaders Healers Assassins
Knights Battlemages Acrobats
Scouts Witchhunters Monks
Archers Spellswords Pilgrims
Rogues Nightblades Bards
Also had a hotbar which was called Quick Menu accessed with the "F1" key, allowing the player to load any spell,weapon,
potion, or power for fast access.
2)Oblivion had classes, as per the manual.
Predefined classes
Oblivion comes with 21 predefined classes, seven for each specialization. Their Specializations,Major skills,and Attributes
bonuses have already been selected for you. (basicly the same list as above)
Oblivion also had a hotbar that worked the same as Morrowinds using the 1 to 8 keys
3)Skyrim does NOT have the predefined classes, however Skyrim still uses the hotbar.
Skyrim game manual page 2 Gameplay Controls
Hot key items 1 thru 8
All TES games have been SOFT LOCK targeting.
Yeah, but you could pick warrior and then go full mage. It just took more time.
Edit: I also never once picked a class for my character. I always chose my main and secondary specializations myself.
While the rest of your post was pretty much accurate, this part on the other hand is not. Soft lock means spells/Arrows hone in on a target, they will not strike things that jump in the way, instead they will travel though toward their target (as long as you are aiming toward them).. I believe this is only the case when you have a target soft locked though.
