Bad new IMO and it'll end up like SWTOR where U thought I'd have rathered KOTOR 3 lol. I mean Elder Scrolls games are about not being in a faction and joining any one of many, yet you'll be restricted to one or at most one of three. I've never played an Elder Scrolls game and wanted an MMO out of it, I've always played the games and wish'd MMOs had these types of quests but for me Elder Scrolls games can only ever be single player. I mean if they get rid of First person combat it cannot be an Elder Scrolls game and if they keep it then it cannot work in multiplayer....
That Todd guy who is the head of that studio said he has no intrest in making it into an MMO, so wtf has happened in the space of a few months? lol.
Ok i just saw them, first off we cant judge based on the fact its the same engine as TOR, nothing wrong with the way it looks. But as a big TES fan if they create this game as a tab target system with typical hotbars...regardless of how good the content could be i feel it will be the biggest let down of any MMO ever created.
If they are making a TES MMO...then do it right, dont copy n paste and just hope to make millions of a title other developers have created and led a solid fanbase for years. I look at those screens and it seems like im looking at Dragon Age 3...like it really looks like that, my GOD....if this game is Tab target trash and no different aside from fluff....i will spam Zenimax with hate mail.
I just dont get why these MMO companies dont push the genre further, reproducing the same old crap is...really getting old, regardless if I love the title or not.
Holy cow! I replied and it went off to some remote corner of the game forums.
My take again..
Personally if they do TES MMO like they have done Oblivion and Skyrim I most likely will pass. For single player RPG they are fantastic games for awhile so don’t get me wrong here but for MMORPG the repetitive play of the dungeons become a snore fest.
I played Oblivion for months because I had a goal to close every last oblivion gate before playing out the rest of the story and on top of that explore every dungeon, cave and fort including SI. After 4 months it because the exact repetitive crap over and over that I didn’t even finish the MQ.
Skyrim is great too but again the mechanics of game play and design of the forts, caves and what not are so repetitive you will get sick of them after 3 months.
I loaded up Oblivion awhile back to relive the memories and played a couple days but the long lasting effect to keep playing is just not there.
I see TES MMO as a short stay and not profitable even though at one point I fully supported a TES MMO.
GW2 still has the trinity, only difference is they've made ever class the Druid from WoW, so they got rid of the diversity and made the class selection boring.
After reading the leaked issue...I AM BEYOND DISAPOINTED.
They may have used the TES name to create a buZZ and make some dollars...., they may have replicated aspects of the world, they may have copied the races, territories, cities...
BUT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE ANYTHING LIKE A TES GAME AT ALL.
I did have a great laugh at controlling capital cities based on points....yeah...sandbox...LIES.
TES for MMO carebears.
TO HELL WITH ZENIMAX.
Biggest letdown ever in MMO history, i dont even have to play it, read the gameinformer mag leak and youll come to the same conclusion.
Yeah after reading the leaked issue it's really...I dunno..."meh" I guess.
Plus no housing, it's class-based, no player vampires/werewolves, possibly no tails on Argonians/Khajit, and a lot of other things. Plus they're witholding parts of the provinces for later expansions. Though a little bit of each will be represented to some degree (not much by the sound of it).

Wow. This is so wrong its amazing. I played a Druid in Vanilla WoW. GW2 classes are not druids. Not at all. The fundamental mechanics of the way GW2 skills work make it impossible.
Now you are giving me bad wow acid flash backs of the times I would wander around killing stuff in feral forms then get begged to heal an instance so I would put on my heal set and suffer through it because my guildies couldn't find a healer.
Yeah that's not GW2. Not at all. And if it was I would cry bitter bitter tears.
Well I want this game to be really good. So I'm going to stay away from all the hype and all the news. If I let my expectations get too high and I know everything about the game on release I'll probably be severely let down. The best games I've ever played were the ones that take me by surprise. I always noticed the people that are most disappointed are the raving fanboys that rule with an iron fist well before the game is even released.

Yes they got rid of the trinity and gave everyone the potential to fill any roll, but each with each with a skillset of 40+ with traits on top. How would you visualise the Trinity being removed?

Long rumored and much anticipated, The Elder Scrolls Online is finally being unveiled in the June issue of Game Informer. In this month's cover story we journey across the entire land of Tamriel, from Elsweyr to Skyrim and everywhere in between.
Developed by the team at Zenimax Online Studios, The Elder Scrolls Online merges the unmatched exploration of rich worlds that the franchise is known for with the scale and social aspects of a massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Players will discover an entirely new chapter of Elder Scrolls history in this ambitious world, set a millennium before the events of Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal tries to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm.
"It will be extremely rewarding finally to unveil what we have been developing the last several years," said game director and MMO veteran Matt Firor, whose previous work includes Mythic's well-received Dark Age of Camelot. "The entire team is committed to creating the best MMO ever made – and one that is worthy of The Elder Scrolls franchise."
An in-depth look at everything from solo questing to public dungeons awaits in our enormous June cover story – as well as a peek at the player-driven PvP conflict that pits the three player factions against each other in open-world warfare over the province of Cyrodiil and the Emperor's throne itself.
Come back tomorrow morning for a brief teaser trailer from Zenimax Online and Bethesda Softworks, and later on in the afternoon for the first screenshot of the game. Over the course of the month, be sure to visit our Elder Scrolls Online hub, which will feature new exclusive content multiple times each week. You'll meet the three player factions, see video interviews with the creative leads, and much more.
The Elder Scrolls Online is scheduled to come out in 2013 for both PC and Macintosh.
Click the images below for the full-size renderings of the cover, and continue on to find out what other surprises are in the issue and when it will arrive:
SWEET!!!!!!!!
Not at all ashamed of being called a fan boy on this one. This is the first hype I have cared about in about 4 years.
I wonder however if WoD will beat them to market.
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

"Hero of Time! Face me!"
it was disspointment to hear that they will not have the same combat has oblivion or skyrim that was the biggest let down.
Matt Firor is the lead. He left mythic in 2006 and was a major designer for DAOC.
Wow. This is so wrong its amazing. I played a Druid in Vanilla WoW. GW2 classes are not druids. Not at all. The fundamental mechanics of the way GW2 skills work make it impossible.
Now you are giving me bad wow acid flash backs of the times I would wander around killing stuff in feral forms then get begged to heal an instance so I would put on my heal set and suffer through it because my guildies couldn't find a healer.

What did SW:TOR do to the Hero engine? I am curious to hear about it ( as a SWTOR player that's really fed up ).
I am filled with:
- dreadful apprehension
- morbid curiosity
- anger at marketing departments and CFOs
at this announcement because:
- it's not Bethesda
- it uses Hero engine
- it has cash-in written all over it
Well I want this game to be really good. So I'm going to stay away from all the hype and all the news. If I let my expectations get too high and I know everything about the game on release I'll probably be severely let down. The best games I've ever played were the ones that take me by surprise.

It is the the other way around. The Hero engine retarded the potential of a 2012 Star wars based game.
