Elder Scrolls games are terrible, but Elder Scrolls Online is a masterpiece.

approximately seven hours to download, and...

Wow, only seven? It took me approx. 12-13 hrs, luckily overnight on a weekend to install this.

Yeah WoW has loading screens for continents, and ESO zones have as much content as a WoW continent. The fact is you can play in the same area for weeks any not see a single loading screen. It is a dumb argument made by an idiot looking for excuses to bandwagon with the other idiots who have never played the game and know nothing about it.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, elder Scrolls zones have as much content as wow continents? Who the fuck is retarded enough to say this?

You can finish up an elder Scrolls zone easily in a couple of days.

If you mean 48 hours, then maybe. But you can't even scratch the surface of a zone in a couple of days of normal playing. There are several dungeons in every zone, world mobs, and 50+ quests, not to mention all the crafting materials, chests, treasure maps etc. And there are about 30 of those zones.... I maxed out my WoW character in about 2-3 weeks.

People should check Amazon, I got it really cheap.

Not true, take the orcs expansion zone, I arrived there, there was already a zerg doing all the world bosses, in an hour I did all of those plus the public dungeon...

Next up the delves, you can do all the delves in a zone, plus all the shards in a couple of hours.

Next up, the quests, if you try to 100% the quests in a zone, you can easily do it in a couple of nights, 6 to 8 hours max.

Zones, except for the Pvp one, are tiny, and considering how easy it was faceroll these leveled mobs with a pet sorcerer with only one active skill, force pulse spam.

My brother got me the Steam gift card for it for my birthday. So yeah, Steam it was.

Serves you right for zerging stuff! Public dungeons are most fun if you solo them once your character gets good. World bosses are also more fun with just 2 or 3 people.

Next up, the quests, if you try to 100% the quests in a zone, you can easily do it in a couple of nights, 6 to 8 hours max.

Zones in EQ are tiny. Zones in ESO are huge. The game is like 50 times the size of Skyrim. I've played it almost every night for 2 months and I still have lots to do.

it is one of the best MMO's out there

can we ban this plant please?

 

[anvi]

Yeah I am a Zenimax plant, hired to infiltrate the lucrative old retards audience at rpg codex. Also tell me an MMO better than this.

Why would I when I could play a good game?

 

[pippin]

I thought it could be something to kill time with my GF

You could have tried Divinity Original Sin instead.

Or sex.

I'm one of those "90% of mmos aren't fun and another 5% aren't worth the time investment until they get to be as good as some single player RPGs." types.

 

[anvi]

Meh. That leaves 5% that are good, and they are what I play. And they are WAY better than most single player RPGs.

Yeah, but even then it's arguable whether they are worth the time.

 

[anvi]

EQ was. Nothing is worth any time if you don't like it. But the few good MMO's I've played were fun to play for a while at least and I enjoyed the day to day. And when that stops I quit.

I am starting to get bored with ESO now too, but I'm gonna try a few things before I quit.

Two weeks between "best MMO ever you guys suck for not liking it" and "I'm getting bored with it now too". Fastest plant reversal ever

Up there with makaab's radio silence after NMS. He is still a Bethestard though, but at least the codex likes Bethesda games

 

[RK47]

But is the story and lore as well developed as AoD?

I haven't played either game, but I know how to use wikipedia.

I mean: yes.

I've been playing for a little over 2 months. I only played WoW, Rift, Neverwinter, DDO, Black Desert, Archeage, and a million others for less than 1 month. There are only 2 other MMO's that I ever played more than 2 months since about 1997. And single player RPG's I complete them in less than a week. With ESO I will likely last another couple of months, maybe more. I have only played 1 class so far and still haven't tried PVP.

 

[anvi]

Also nothing I have said is a reversal. There is only so long you can play any game.

 

[abija]

For a normal person, getting bored of a mmo in 2 months means it's shit.
But apparently you don't actually like video games, just enjoy mowing through checklists (talking about your 1 sp game per week metric). You're a CEO's wet dream.

I do not care much for MMOs since most of them are cheap soulless grindfests. I'd rather have my 20th UnderRail playthrough than playing a cash grab like this.

You can only afford 1 game? Bless.
