Sorry guys, I found a better game lulz.

This is the sort of thing that can't not go wrong.

IGNorance put it online.

Thoroughly unimpressed. Count how many times they play on Morrowind nostalgia.

Caim · Aug 3, 2013

Ugh, there was so much promise, but this... no, thanks.

Why are there even classes, anyway? What happened to the whole "TES is classless" thing?

Yeah, even mudcrabs a distinctively non-mudcrab-y. I'm even serious. Floaty combat, shitty Skyrim-lite dual-wield... And classes. God forbid we ditch classes, retards then wouldn't know how to play. :retarded:

It's not that I'd really expected a hardcore MMO, but it looks like a really generic themepark.

Metro · Aug 5, 2013

Reason you have classes in MMOs is to give subscribers more levels to grind, i.e., they have to level up everything!

Caim · Aug 5, 2013

But if all characters can do all the things they have even more things to level, meaning that players will put more time into a single character.

But then again, that would mean that once again fighters are the best class. :smug:

Will there be inifinite quests?

Of course.

I got into the Beta. Should I test this game for Bethesda (free of charge)?

IDtenT · Aug 13, 2013

Yes. Grief if you can.

Skyrim is the only classless TES game.

Man, that's catchy.

So I played this for 10 minutes (until they downed servers) and it felt a lot like skyrim. My laptop played it on high settings (easily) at 60 FPS (runs good). It felt a lot like an Elderscrolls game. I leveled up and was allowed to spend 1 attribute point (think Skyrim attributes) and 1 ability point (chose a cool turn invis spell - short duration).

Anyway, it was a total waste of time considering that I didn't get to do much. lol!

I would have taken a screenshot, but they tethered my email address across the screen as to identify whoever did such a thing. ;P

I'll just wait for the Planescape: Torment MMO

It does that even if you use FRAPS/MSI Afterburner/other utilty to take sshots ?

I would play a MMO based on Planescape. It wouldn't even have to be that good.

No troll, I really love the setting. But I will require classes such as celestial firebreathing velociraptors from the Beastlands, or Modron warriors, or yugoloth wizards. Crank that weird shit up to 11.

You mean you have that overlay on all the time you are playing? WTF?

Caim · Aug 16, 2013

I... I don't even know what to say to this. It's somewhere in between efficient, terminally stupid and outright insulting.

Yes, they overlayed the screen with the user's email address. It's more prominent on the outside, and becomes more transparent toward the middle.

Pretty ingenious way to do it, baring a user who signed up with an email they don't care about. Still, it allows them to identify whoever violates NDA.

That can fixed with some kind of photo editing program.

The lady of pain on top of the sigil, lots of exciting bosses thrilling trash mobs along the way from the bottom!
