Checked comments on yt out of curiosity and turns out even popamolers are unimpressed.

Never seen the codex so unanimous. So how bad is it? Worse than ToR? Worse than that Final Fantasy MMO they had to reboot?

This will never be rebooted because that would mean someone has to take the blame, something that western developers will never do as opposed to the eastern ones who commited honorable sudoku upon admitting their mistakes.

Worse than TOR? From what I can tell, TESO is more bland than bad compared to TOR.

Can't someone just break the NDA and post some info? Unless you used the same name here and in the beta it's not like anyone is ever going to know it's you.

The one thing I thought was at least amusing was the nutter you have to talk to in Coldharbour. He's wearing a pot on his head as a hat.

Looks like complete shit compared with Black Desert online, which is currently on beta in Kwarea.

OH! HE THOUGHT THAT WAS AMUSING! I WONDER IF HE KNOWS THAT YOU COULD PUT POTS ON PEOPLE'S HEADS IN SKYRIM AND THAT WE HAVE AN EMOTE HERE ON THE CODEX OF PETE HINES WEARING A POT TO MAKE FUN OF THAT. HMM I THINK I WILL POST IT TO SHOW HIM!
:balance:

THERE WE GO!

Yeah, something like that.

I'll third that. It's basically MMO Skyrim. If I want Skyrim, I'll play it. It's executed better anyway. I got through the Coldharbour part and was deposited in some Inn somewhere. At that point, I closed the game and have had zero desire to open it again to find out what's next.

It would have been better if the whole opening bit was instanced to you. Maybe it was because of it being a beta weekend and everyone and their brother was checking the game out, but I hate having a crowd of people all moving along with me damned near in sync as I rescued the Prophet, went through the anchor, and woke up after being found passed out on a beach somewhere. "So, yeah, I rescued you and all your 50 buddies there passed out. Go see Rana (or whatever her name is). I'm sure you're the chosen one or something. So's that guy. And that one there.... Oh and that one... Him too... Yeah...."
They went full retard "you're the chosen one" in a mmo?:lol:
Imagine that in a Morrowind MMO.
"hey you, yes you, you are the chosen one, you over there? chosen one too, the guy behing you? also a chosen one, now shut up and go pick up the Moon-and-Star ring":troll:

Iran should divert all funding away from its nuclear program, allowing billions to go towards creating the greatest MMO of all time. Would be way more effective both as a deterrent and as an offensive weapon:

- US prepares to bomb Iran - public outcry of 'noooooo the SEEERRRRVVEEERRRSSSS!!!!!!!' forcing the US government to back down or face a domestic revolution.
- Iran wants to launch a strike on a US resource area: 'new raid dungeon guys, but you've got to grind rep first. You get a +100 bonus to rep for every molotov you throw.' :D

Blander than TOR? I shiver in disgust at the mere thought.

''A forbidden city for nearly fifty years, Alinor is both capital of the Summerset Isles and the heart of the Aldmeri Dominion. Human traders were only allowed at its ports, and they described the city as "made from glass or insect wings." Less fantastic accounts come from the Imperial emissaries of the Reman Dynasty, which describe the city as straight and glimmering, "a hypnotic swirl of ramparts and impossibly high towers, designed to catch the light of the sun and break it to its component colors, which lies draped across its stones until you are thankful for nightfall."

Whats the current bets on how long it will take to go Free to play ?

If I was a betting man I would put a line on one month because it is entirely possible that if word gets out how truly awful the game is they will have a very disappointing opening with a game like this that they are trying to get $60+$15/month for. Bethesda apologists are legion obviously but I would still be surprised if anyone actually enjoys this steaming pile of shit barring the most absolutely pathetic basement dwellers in the world.
