3 faction pvp!

http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/03/bethesda-confirms-elder-scrolls-mmo-three-faction-pvp/

The dev team is headed up by Matt Firor, known primarily to gamers for his work on Dark Age of Camelot.

[Yooxra]

No screens or video have yet been released, but more information will be made available through Game Informer, as the reveal is part of their June 2012 cover story.

Give me information!

they have been talking about this for a while now guess they finally confirmed it.

[Rottenzombie]

I liked daoc, and skyrim is awesome, TAKE MY MONEY

[Yooxra]

More will be revealed tomorrow in a "brief teaser trailer" of the game, GI says. We've got our double-horned helm on while we wait, just in case.

YES!

I just saw this. Between a game this awesome and Avengers tonight, there goes the rest of my work day.

While I will not make any final conclusions yet, it seems a little more themeparkish then I expected.

[Yooxra]

The Nords, Dunmer (Dark Elves) and Argonians make up the Ebonheart Pact.

That's my faction, dark elf 100%.

Nice early post, good read.

[Yooxra]

The Elder Scrolls Online also plans to “bring back” the public dungeon, allowing for more organic group building instead of entering instances.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FUCKING YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Eq public dungeons RULED THE FUCKING WORLD.

[Yooxra]

However, when reminded by the fact that Bethesda, as well as talent from Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot, are standing behind this project, we just might have the next big fantasy MMO waiting for us.

This is why this game will rule. 3 of the best games talent combine to work on this game. I'm about to jizz all over this computer screen.

[Yooxra]

Why the hell hasn't Asano changed this website into a Elder scroll mmo website yet. Fuck man, slacking.

My guess is they'll have the same issues Bioware is dealing with right now. Mainly not having the customer support experience for something this size and too little content at launch to compete with more established MMOs. The upside is that they have massive amounts of canon lore to draw on and a really good understanding of skill based leveling systems. When it comes down to it all the TES games have been single player MMO just based off the feel of their games. As excited as I am to see it come out I'm cautiously optimistic about what shape it'll be in at launch.

I like the route they are going. Lots of things about this sound right. For example, they are going to continue making the single player games at bes while zen handles the mmo. So we'll continue to get single player games which is awesome. They claim they been working on this for 5-7 years. They do need end game content in these kind of games that's where swtor went wrong(not enough, and i'm not talking just raids). You can't have these games with vanilla settings out the gate anymore that's 10 years old. I would of gladly stuck with swtor for much longer, even played it till ESO if it had more to do. Time will tell, hopefully they can learn from swtor's mistakes before launch.

The most accomplished PvP player on your faction becomes emperor whenever you take over the capital

Yoox wins

Good read

For example, a rogue can put oil on the ground that a mage can set on fire

Sounds amazing, droping oil on people while stealth and having a mage fireball them on fire from afar.

[Gogan]

I dunno. I want to like this, but like almost every single other comment from these articles you're posting, I'm not terribly impressed yet. I didn't see the screenshots before they were taken down, but every single commenter said they looked bad.

There's some strange notes from the last link you posted:

-There most likely won't be dragons

Lame.

-The combat model will not be real time due to latency

Huh?

-The combat is based around a stamina bar which you can use to sprint, block, interrupt, and break incapacitating effects
-Blocking is the primary focus of these abilities, and can do things like stopping the secondary effects of attacks such as an ice spell slowing you
-ZeniMax feels that having the stamina bar will help break down the Holy Trinity as stamina allows you to do things like tank
-However, healing is still a big part of the game
-There is also no aggro mechanic in the game, which is part of the reason stamina blocking and healing exist

Sounds kinda strange -- especially the no aggro part. But I guess we'll wait and see how it plays out.

Sounds like the leveling experience is a lot like GW2, which looked pretty cool when I saw it. Overall though, I'm not seeing anything really unique here to think it's going to break the mold like they're claiming.

I agree that it seems like they are trying to get out an online version that seems like it will kinda be like everything else already out. We'll see.

[Pathology]

The more I think about this is if they want it to be ESMMO they just need to get the people who made the AC skill system in on this. AC was an ESMMO with different lore, it had random dungeons in the open world, in depth skill system, just the UI was awful. We will see though. In my perfect world it would AC and DAoC combined with some end game PvE added in as well.

[Yooxra]

Interesting. Heroengine just a whiteboard.

http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/26/the-elder-scrolls-online-using-heroengine-as-a-whiteboard/

Really seems to be a shake up in the mmo industry after the great SWtor fizzle. 38 studios being shut down. Seems that 38 was banking on their mmo that was in the works. After the outrage of the generic looking esmmo, seems that things are going to possibly be changing some?

Interview from E3 info.

While it still sounds generic as hell. I like a few things. It sounds very wowish in alot of ways. Kinda like how wow took everything that was fun from EQ when it came out and left some things out. It really seems like ESO is trying to take all the good things from most of the great mmo's. Still sounds like something i'll be checking out next year.

So you know that the beta for The Elder Scrolls Online is coming up, right? Of course you do! But what you don't know are many details about it. Well, slide on up to the counter here and we'll give you the scoop -- with a cherry on top.

Beta events will begin as smaller, scheduled play sessions (usually on weekends) with a limited play window focusing on something specific. Invitations for the first round of public events will start going out at the end of March, with the tests starting shortly thereafter. Events will become more frequent and last longer as launch approaches, and players can receive separate invites for multiple events.

Testers will be selected based on various criteria and all invites will go to the email players used to sign up for the beta.


If you're one of those people who absolutely cannot wait to get their hands on The Elder Scrolls Online, you won't have to wait too much longer, as the game's first beta testing will apparently start toward the end of this month. The testing will consist of small and focused test weekends, but it's better than the current test schedule of "nothing."


lets hope someone gets in!

[Yooxra]

First person mode added looks like

http://kotaku.com/the-elder-scrolls-online-finally-looks-like-an-elder-sc-510504840

Hoping to hear more about this at E3.

[Gogan]

I actually never really liked the first-person perspective in the Elder Scrolls games. I played Skyrim in 3rd person. Except when sniping with a bow, of course.

Encouraged to hear they're targeting end of 2013 for release though. That's sooner than I expected.

[Yooxra]

http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/05/30/the-elder-scrolls-online-completing-a-daedric-quest

I'm being sold on this. They have been targeting 2013 the whole time. This is looking good. Skyrim with parties hell yeah. With pvp hell yeeah.

[Kz]

yup looking forward to this as my next mmo.

[Yooxra]

More beta invites out. Anyone get? And can I leech, in before any of the other people wanting to leech.

[Kz]

i did not get one.

[McGrupp]

negative :(

[Gogan]

In case you missed it, Bethesda previewed ESMMO last Friday with some live gameplay action. You can catch it on Twitch:

http://www.twitch.tv/bethesda/b/439743009

It starts about 40 mins in.

Overall, really unimpressed.

[Kz]

yea everyone who ive talked to about ESO said its terrible.

[Pathology]

While I love ES the combat has not changed from Morrowind on. ES is great because the impact you have in the world, I am not sure how it will convert to a MMO.

I will play it I just don't know if the multiplayer aspect adds anything to ES.

[Megasteve]

More invites just went out, in case anyone was still wanting to try ESO out.

Be warned, the client is like 22gb.

[Gogan]

Got my ESMMO beta invite yesterday. Too bad I'm not interested in playing it anymore.

[Kz]

nice asano. you should at least look at it. i heard it making a lot of progress.

[Nucholza]

Got my ESMMO beta invite yesterday. Too bad I'm not interested in playing it anymore.

Same here, got an invite for this Friday.

[Xyrana]

What up guys? Does anyone have an extra beta key?

[Gogan]

You can have mine; I'm not gonna play it. The key was sent to me a couple months ago, so not sure if it's still good, but you can try. Will send it via PM.

[Xyrana]

Awesome. Thanks Asano! Is anyone from GoL currently playing?

[rursusferre]

xyrana......whaaaaaaaaa

[Blake]

more invites went out for this weekends test. got my key

[Nucholza]

I got another invite as well. Haven't looked into this game at all - worth checking out or no?

[Rottenzombie]

Got mine too but wont be around if someone wants it.

[Cruci]

If nobody has better plans for their keys I'd put it to solid use! Thus far I've been unlucky in the beta sweepstakes.

[Kz]

yea i got mine as well.

[McGrupp]

Got mine as well, Going to check it out.

[Nucholza]

I gave my key to Blake and he's giving his to his girl, sorry cruci!

[Rhun]

WTB D3 beta key

[Blake]

anyone able to get in the world?

[McGrupp]

Yes, but a lot of server lag. Zones taking 3min to load, game feezes when in dialog with NPCs..ugh

Looks like you can be emperor. Emperors have their own skill set.
http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/06/elder-scrolls-online-player-emperors-will-gain-a-permanent-skill/

Skill 1: Call peasants, your casuals will show up twice a week instead of once.
Skill 2: you can only guess

Are we going to rename our guild to GoL:Emperors or bust

[Gogan]

I have no idea what any of this means. Are people actually playing ESMMO?

Yoox and I are both emperor's in PoE


And KZ if you do not want that weapon you have I may want for your spec throw weapon if I live in this 1 week race I will use it I am already almost lvl 86 =S 2 DAYS LEFT

[Gogan]

Not sure really, haven't really tried online card games.

I never did either, Yoox. In fact, my only card game experience prior to HS was a few hours one day learning MTG about a decade ago.

HS is pretty fun. It takes like 5 mins to learn, probably less if you have some other TCG experience. What I really like is you can just pick it up and play for only 10-15 mins if you want.

We've been having some fun nights lately getting on skype and just playing against each other for a few hours. You should join us!

It open beta yet?

[Gogan]

Good point... apparently not. It's supposed to be very close though.

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/22/hearthstone-open-beta-pushed-to-2014-closed-beta-opt-in-still-a/

You should opt-in tonight. Not sure if that Jan 7 date is still accurate, but if it is, then your last chance to get into closed beta is opting in by then. At one point last month they said they invited everyone that opted in, so they've been pretty liberal with the invites.

[Fusa]

RIPPED!!!! at lvl 85


and that pvp to become the emperor sounds intense and fun

[Blake]

New beta weekend

Welcome back to the ESO beta! You've been invited to participate in a beta event from Friday, January 10th at 6:00PM EST until Sunday, January 12th at 11:59PM EST.

Ain't nothin wrong with Kate Beckinsale.

Also, LOL @ Michael Gambon's interview (right after Kate's):

I'd like to play an elf. That's the part I'd be really good at. Elves are quite short. I'm not short I'm a bit overweight and not very tall, but an elf would appeal to me. They're funny, they're interesting, they climb trees. So an elf would be my sort of thing. I'd be an elf. Also, they have the added advantage of sitting down a lot. I love sitting down.

I like how this option sounds. Wonder if they would still make xpacs for it after it goes this route.
