Elder Scrolls Online

I spoke to some Alpha-testers and they confirmed ESO's claim that the graphics will be better then Skyim's.

Great... that just means I may not be able to play it.

 

[F0uad]

Yeah me to ill just wait till its closer to release i do have some knowledge regarding the game though. I spoke to a couple Alpha-testers, followed some pod-casts and listened to some interviews.
So if you guys(girls) have any question post them here.

Why? You can run the game with the same specs as Skyrim, most MMO's do not require high end computers.

 

[Father Heathen]

Anyone here interested in making a guild yet?

A rf guild? colour me interested

I'm sure it will be as successful as the RF WoW Guild and the RF Steam Group.

My computer can barely run Morrowind.

My computer can barely run Morrowind.

Probably time for an upgrade.

MoonWater and I just ordered a comparatively low-end alienware, which should be leagues above my current POS. Before that, we didn't have the money. Besides, this laptop of mine was a present from my mom, who was told it was a great gaming computer. Turns out, it's got the worst graphics card in the industry.

It can run Morrowind, and Oblivion at low-medium settings. But the computer overheats, even with an external fan. I could never play more than a single round of Starcraft II before I had to turn off.

What I primarily worry about is that, because it's on the low-end side of alienware rigs, by the time ESO comes out, the new computer will be too outdated.

Eso will come out this year.

Don't buy a Alien-ware its just a name and nothing else, they are just ripping your money because its called a ''Alien-ware''.
I think the Elder Scrolls Online specs will be around this:

2Ghz core 2duo.
2Gb memory.
512 Mb video card or 256mb (with 3d-acceleration).
20/15 Gb Hard-drive space.

Too late.

They are known for being easy to take apart and customize, and designed with gaming in mind. In any case, we spent about as much on it as we would have on a non-alienware computer that would have the specs and card necessary. We bought when comparing our current computers to the specs of the new one, which will have the nVidia graphics card.

'Sides, if we don't like it, we have about three weeks to return it for a refund. ^_^

Still, if ESO is coming out this year, that makes me feel better.

I make my own computers its much cheaper.

For example i bought a AMD Black Phenom 2, 6core 3,4ghz + turbo processor for just 180, Added 12Gb memory for about 90, 2Terabyte hard-drive for 90 and a video-card 2Gb for 150. The Motherboard was included in the shelf. I am pretty sure i can use this for the next 6 years to come and i only spent 550-600 Euros at a max.

I don't remember the specs for the new computer at the moment, but we spent a bit over a thousand USD.

I suspect the price hike was either due to the fact that it was an Intel CPU, or a high-end nVidia card.

I wonder if ESO will have PVP? And it would be pretty cool if you could pay the Morag Tong or Dark Brotherhood to go kill another player. Actually the potential for abuse would make it suck, but it would be so cool if you get revenge on ninjas, corpse campers, and those who rudely take the chest/quest item/whatever from you while you where killing the mob standing next to it.
But I am going to cry if this game is ultra buggy like Oblivion and Skyrim. And after Skyrim refusing to run on my computer, I really hope their is a demo of this. I also really hope they put more armor and weapons in the game than what they do. It's bad enough that eventually all of your characters end up looking about the same across games clothing and armor, it would really suck to play an MMO where everyone looks pretty much the same. And I hope they do away with the quest pointer, at least give us the option to do away with it. People got through WoW just fine before they added one, and Morrorwind IMO had the better experience over Oblivion and Skyrim because it didn't have the quest pointers.

Elder Scrolls games have always been buggy, all the way back to Arena. Daggerfall, despite its massive fanbase and constant 10 out of 10s on virtually every review of it, is almost completely unplayable because of such bugs. :sad4::sad4::sad4By the way, for those who can persevere past the pretty slow opening and clunky interface, Arena is actually a great game. It's basically a first-person RPG spiritual sequel of early Zelda games.)

But take heart! ESO is being developed by guys who have made MMOs in the past, so hopefully the bugs will be at a minimum.

I didn't notice many in Daggerfall, but it has been awhile sense I've played it. Morrowind was pretty good I thought, even though cumbersome at times. Oblivion I don't know what it is that I like about it, but when it has such crappy physics that things on a table move around and fall off when you pick, choppy and sloppy character movements, and a few other things to me made it seem like an unfinished product. And then Skyrim, between PC bugs and scripting errors and the lengthy time it took to get the DLC on the PSN, right now I'm wondering why I like the games. And then I'll play one and remember why I love them.

I'm pretty sure that ESO will have PVP

 

[F0uad]

I wonder if ESO will have PVP?

Yes there will be it will have Guild vs Guild Pvp, Arena Pvp, it will have an province as the same size of the Skyrim game (if you played it) that will be open Pvp were you can take over cities and keeps. You will join one of the three Factions: Aldmeri Dominion (Races: Altmer, Bosmer, Khajiit), Daggerfall Covenant (Races: Breton, Orc, Redguard) or The Ebonheart Pact (Races: Argonian, Dunmer, Nord) to take control over the Imperial city to crown yourself Emperor of Cryodiil.

Note: The Skyrim province on the map above is the same size as the Skyrim Game itself.

And it would be pretty cool if you could pay the Morag Tong or Dark Brotherhood to go kill another player.

There will be two or three groups that i am aware of and i think The College of Mages is one of them not sure about the Dark Brotherhood did they even exist back then?

Actually the potential for abuse would make it suck, but it would be so cool if you get revenge on ninjas, corpse campers, and those who rudely take the chest/quest item/whatever from you while you where killing the mob standing next to it.

I don't think Pick-pocketing will be allowed or stealing someone's loot is possible it would be unfair.

I never found Oblivion buggy as for Skyrim it was really something NEW it had tons of Armors and weapons. Its confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online will have much more Armors, Weapons and items compared with the Skyrim Game furthermore customization is much more advance you will be able to customize armor, robes, clothing and so forth they really emphasized on the customization part of the game. You can even customize siege weapons with your guild and faction to attack a enemy city or keep.

And I hope they do away with the quest pointer, at least give us the option to do away with it. People got through WoW just fine before they added one, and Morrorwind IMO had the better experience over Oblivion and Skyrim because it didn't have the quest pointers.

It will be the same as the previous Elder Scrolls Games.
Like i said the game will be for most a Elder Scroll Game and then a MMO.

Well i never found one bug in Skyrim..

 

[Riverwolf]

Well i never found one bug in Skyrim..

I have found several. ^_^

One of the funniest is when part of Whiterun just disappears for no reason, allowing you to leave and wander around in the unfinished overworld.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Well i never found one bug in Skyrim..

Consider yourself lucky.

 

[F0uad]

Hmm maybe its because i played it after the patches..
As for a MMORPG its entirely diffident they will have Closed Beta's and Open Beta's to let people discover the bugs moreover constant updates will be released to adjust, balance and fix the bugs.
