It's hard not to be disappointed when you realize there are no proper cities in this game (Ebonheart is made out of 4 huge buildings and couple of argonian huts) and also when you look your horse in his creepy lifeless eyes (reminds me of a chess piece).

Seriously? Wow. The cities in Morrowind were awesome, especially Vivec. One of the things I thought they would get right might be the cities. Would be cool to own housing etc.

I'm afraid this game is full of fail. There were posts everywhere asking for Multiplayer Morrow/Obliv/Skyrim, but not this. And when they tried to do this, it's Fail. There are many many playing the beta, because it's free. But come time to fork over $15 a month, they're going away. The game just doesn't have enough pull.
my not so humble opin.

Don't get me wrong, area that Ebonheart takes on the map is huge, they just failed to create the feeling of a "living" city ... you never get the feeling that people live there.
For me, the main "thing" of the elder scrolls series was it's immersiveness in a way that every NPC had a job to do, place to live and a bed to sleep at night. Until now.
They had more than enough space to make it happen - instead we got typical MMO style monumental staircases that take a lot of space and consume lot of time when you move about.

I liked a lot of things about this game but ultimately the wife and I decided not to go with it. Rather spend more time in Rift when action in LOTRO is slow while waiting for Everquest Next beta access.

We had actually started a couple Rift toons before learning about ESO and getting in on the beta. Glad I re-installed it as it's pretty fun.

I've put several thousand hours into Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, but I just can't do this right now. I've got a lifetime sub to LotRO and invested five years into WoW. Just can't get behind another MMO and I really don't want to see the single player series I love go that route.

I have to agree with others. This was a let down for me. Though the one thing I do like is the fighting which feels very much like the past elder scroll games. This they did pretty good but the world doesn't feel like an ES game. Visually it's a mixed bag.

I'll say it again but EQ Next is the game to look forward to.

Yeah, I was all excited to find out what happens with the Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion (with maybe ES VI set in the Summerset Isles), but who knows when/if that'll happen. I know its two different Zenimax studios, but I'd wager it'll be all hands on deck if ES Online takes off (a la Blizzard and WoW - kept them tied up for a decade).

Well I caved in! So far I'm glad I did too. I was in beta but I only played the first beta weekend and then ignored all the rest. Going from the first beta weekend to this finished product is night and day. Visually this game look hella better than it did back then and I really like the combat system. Game is kinda fresh since I have not been into any MMO's the past year except for a short stint in final fantasy.

This game reminds me of Lotro but much better looking. Lotro is one of my all time favorite MMO's ever. Right next to EQ2.

So I will play this for awhile and see what happens. Right now I'm pleasantly pleased.

That would have been enough for me to cancel my subscription... the last thing I want when playing a TES game is to be playing D2. damn.....altho, the first thing I would have done? Abuse the shite out of it. I know many of us in the beta had a lot of issues that Zeni pretty much ignored, or didn't respond to, and honestly, I didn't like the game. So, as wrong as it is, I would have enjoyed this chance to smack them in the nose a little, even if it did ban my account.

I got a full refund for this broken game. I hit lvl 10 just to watch loading screen for hours. WPvP is so laggy this mega server does bot work. Games still in beta and will be free to play in one years time.

after Skyrim this game is not even worth a shot.
my thoughts too. i hated the static world, super linear design and the way quest characters just become invisible to everyone not at that stage of the quest :/

played the beta, came here to see if others hated it too.

After saying that wouldn't buy it... I bought it. A friend of mine was like, gotta buy it, I already did and need someone play with, etc. So I picked up the Standard Edition for 20% off which was the most I think is acceptable to charge for this game.

Not going to renew, just playing while I still have free play time in case a handful of updates later it's a better game. Currently at Level 31 with an Alliance Rank of 9 (Auriels Bow).

Today's patch claims to have fixed the loading screen bug, will see if that's true shortly.

I have been playing casually. I have 1 lvl15 and 3 toons below 10. It still feels like a Beta to date, I play with a buddy of mine and the mega-server is always making us relog as we end up in different instances all the time while questing. I like the graphics/art style. The combat is floaty but decent. Questing when not buggy is fun if you take your time and immerse yourself. To me this is almost not a MMORPG and rather a Elder Scrolls game with tons of people. I going to keep playing a little long as I am having some fun. I do agree this is on a fast track to Free to Play just like SWTOR. Companies are starting to lose their ass on making games like this or is there something I don't see.

Because I can...




I am looking to start playing Elder Scrolls Online more regularly now as I have jumped back into it this past few weeks. I would like any TPU or TPU friends to come along for the fun. To start it would be on the EU region servers, however there is no region lock and you are allowed characters on both regions simultaneously (they cannot cross play though).

What is in it for you?

  • First and foremost, more exposure to awesome Tech Power Up members! And if we get enough players(ten to start) we can setup a guild bank and then at fifty we can secure a trading route/guild merchant.
  • A streamlined and appealing, easy to jump into title with a lot more to do and a lot of flexibility to your play style.
The game has changed quite a bit these past two years, due to large adjustments and changes, including an overhaul of some fundamental mechanics. For new players or those whom tried it previously, here is a concise and useful video that details those changes as well as may address some of you previous concerns or highlight things you may find appealing :​

Even if you prefer non Steam, the base game is very affordable***

**For anyone curious about the pack and it's included DLCs or how they work please ask
*** Game is buy to play one time, however subscription is optional and has some useful benefits I can detail is well if interested​
  • MORROWIND!!! Can you think of any other one word that strikes so much passion, emotion and nostalgia in TES and RPG fans? Well it's coming...



In summary, give ESO a try if you are looking for something that's not tab targeting based, has good story/lore, familiar RPG elements, The Elder Scrolls IP influence, an active community, a varied game play spectrum, a strong mod community and easy to use mod system, is inexpensive/good value for money and may be a chance to play with other TPU members. Furthermore consider jumping on board now, particularly while it's on further sale.

And lastly to add one more highlight to convince you, there is a free week/weekend on right now if you'd like to try it out before purchasing.


What to do next?

Has my used car salesman pitch done in a Jimmy McGill voice worked on you? Are you sold? If so, state your interest and leave your Steam name (or other preferred contact method) here as well as PM me the same including any other relevant details you feel are helpful. We'll try to get you added to the TPU Steam group.

If you need advisement about the purchasing methods/options or any other queries you can post here or PM me.


@RCoon
Ideally this could be made into it's own thread A) To be new and more lively/generate more interest B ) Because it's no longer a beta game.

Game discounted also now on their official website (so that's the non-steam purchase), to match Steam prices. I suppose this is in advance of the expansion release.
