LOL typical response I suppose. But that is also a completely wrong assumption. I dont care about these games I dont get emotionally involved in them like the fans do. The last game I 'cared' about was Lotro. And its direction made it apparent no one would ever make an epic game ever again. Because the blueprint for a perfect game is all there in Lotro.
ESO is just another game, and other in a long list of great expectations that will make everyone sad (that cares about games I guess)
The decisions they made on how they made the game notwithstanding the issues they have simply running the game are what kills it.
-Inability to have a server that can handle the stress
-Inability to comprehend and utilize phasing in 2014
-Generic random bugs
-Ability for random people to access at least your character and maybe full account information (thats a great one there)
I am sure there are more but those four are more than enough I think.
Hah,
Obviously didn't play AO, WoW, Neverwinter (Cat-popcalypse), STO, Champions Online, SWG... oh FFS, I can name so many horrible launches.
Welcome to MMO's. And welcome to MMORPG because hyperbole is obviously your friend.
While I respect the OP's point of view, that is indeed his opinion. But in reality...this game is ******* awesome. It is better than any game out , this is coming for someone who hasn't had that great gaming feeling ( you know what I mean ) since DAoC. You are selling yourself short if you do not get this game. We are gamers that's what we do , buy games and play them until you have dominated every aspect of the game, and then play some more if it is good and it is indeed good. It has far less bugs than game I need not mention did at release, and this is no offense "better by far" than game I need not mention is after all its expansions and its just the beginning. If you are a true gamer do not miss out on this experience , get in early , get powerful it is a blast. Have not had this much fun in an MMORPG in years.
_ps_ that trash about the launch being bad is a load of **** I'm level 22 already. Have had no issues aside from minor bugs here and there , if you have a crap rig expect issues ... if not, your solid.
To be fair, I've experienced main-quest bugs (return of the guardians for the EP, the abandoned house quest for the AD, etc). There's been at least a handful on each faction. And these are early on quests (levels 5-10) that I would have expected to have been resolved early. (I think Guardians is a phasing thing though.. supposedly the logout/login fixes but I've yet to be able to get that to work so I benched that character)
I've also experienced falling through the world. Nothing I tried would reset. This occurred upon entering the AD ship from Coldharbor. All I could do was delete the character.
Now, I've DEFENDED the game. I enjoy the game. But let's not pretend these bugs do not exist.
The things you mention about Morrowind were not bugs. Being able to kill people who were crucial to complete the quests was 'gamebreaking'; but working as intended. There were consequenses for your actions. Selling an item you need is no big deal as you could easily steal it back or (if you have to) kill the shopkeep and take it.
That aside, yes. Morrowind was buggy as fuck. As has every ES game. BUT. The fans fix things with mods everytime. That will not be the case here.
I have no dog in this fight. I am an ES Fanboy from the Daggerfall days (love the games) and Morrowind is imho the greatest game ever made (when correctly modded/patched)- But I am passing on this for many reasons I will not go into. Time will tell if this is as bad as it looks (I have no clue since I'm not playing) or this was blown out of proportion. Time will tell if this was merely a moneygrab looking to transition towards a cash shop game (as it looks to me)
There hasn't been anything said about accessing people's ACCOUNTS. They can access their characters, but they're still authenticated as their own user.
This is a database-related issue. To ESO the game, you're not John Smith. In fact, they don't even care what your name is. You're just 114367 and it knows to associate you to any characters that belong to 114367. Other than that, there's no link between the two. Problem is that when Timmy the Intern goes in and updates the Characters table, he, maybe, re-indexes that field. Whoops! My bad! So now your characters belong to someone random based on how it gets indexed. So now Don the DBA needs to go in and undicker what Timmy dickered. So they take the service down temporarily and they reverse Timmy's changes.
Timmy is really upset because of all the trouble he caused and all the forum hate, so he goes home and hangs himself because of all the trouble he's caused for so many people.
See what you all did? YOU KILLED TIMMY!!! Oh god, he was so young.

You sir are a F**king Liar. This is the reaction you wanted and deserve.
The gameplay itself is fairly smooth although there are a lot of bugs that were also in the beta so they didnt fix them. Also, ZoS completely ignored the beta reports of animation stuttering while jumping. That has been there since the first beta and it is still there now.
I laugh at all the people who yelled at me and others in game chat during beta saying that the buggy beta was an old build and that everything was fixed in the launch client build..... LOL in their faces
LOL
This is where you went to far.
I mean there is something wrong with dismounting, I've experienced it as well and it's annoying but far from game breaking.
There probably are people who have lag/disconnects for various reasons. There might be someone who has lost his preorder stuff, maybe because he deleted his character or perhaps it really just dissapeared. Who knows, people may even have lost bank items.
But being in control of someone else's character is just laughable
It really shows what your intentions are. I have seen 0 gold spamming so far and I've been playing since sunday.
This thread needs to be locked, it's just a wild and useless rant based on nothing.
Well I have played all 3 days so far, not today yet it is down for maintenance. Anyway I came across 4 issues with quests so far. Am at level 15. All but 1 I was able to complete eventually.
The horse dismounting is annoying. have crashed out of game 3 times. This whole people logging into other folks accounts is new as I last played 11 hours ago and none of that was being reported within the first 3 days.
Overall it has been a very solid launch for me. The guild I am in has about 300 folks total playing atm and only 1 person has not been able to play as his screen is all black and has all his drivers up to date.
We are loving the game btw.
Haters is all they are , they feel their game of choice losing its grip and beginning to fall headlong into obscurity. This game is bigtime and all the haters just prove that to be true. Die trolls. Back under that bridge!
Not Timmy NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
unfortunately the whole character thing happens to be true, how quickly they (zos) handle this problem will be definitive, but they need to get their stuff together because 2 days and the game goes live to all the rest of their customers. based on current performance, things are looking fairly bleak for Zos, the kinds of issues their having at the moment shouldn't happen, all the signs at the moment are that the game just wasn't ready for release, should be an interesting weekend, think i'll go buy a few tubs of popcorn
The 40 gold spamming accounts on my ignore list would disagree with you.
I love the game, but you're deliberately misleading people with this post. Cmon now.
