The Elder Scrolls Online

[Whiran]

The next beta test will be this coming weekend: starts Friday, February 28th at noon Eastern and goes until Sunday, March 2nd at 11:59pm eastern.

This time the beta won't be under NDA so screenshots and videos are allowed (and encouraged).

Everyone who was in the previous Betas should have gotten a Friend beta test code. I did at least.

I haven't decided if I'll play in this weekend's "test" since I've, more or less, done everything I wanted to in the game. I am somewhat curious about the PVP element but I don't think that I am interested enough to actually bother with the logging in and the like. I think that says everything about my view of the game.

EDIT: OK I got into beta I'm beta

Playing Elder Scrolls Online Vs. Thiaf on February 28th, which is better and why?

Thiaf, because the pain stops earlier on account of it being a shorter game if you're playing to see everything.

Thiaf obviously, because Thiefs are all about social justice, aren't they?

Nah. Played around 5-6 hours maybe and if a game can't get my attention within that time it's not worth it.

The worst thing coming to my mind while looking at this is how instulting the lore-rapes are. And not just to oldfags and fanbase, but to people actually involved in creative steps in the former games (obviously I'm not talking about Oblivion here) and what made TES3, well, magical. I'm not naive enough to think that they'll make Morrowind again, but it constantly reminds me of what Lucas did to the original trilogy - throwing so much shit on the screen it becomes boring instantly.

I can't even care anymore about TES, I think, I'm completely indifferent, let it rot.

Any juicy examples to enjoy?

There's a temple of chim. If you steal the elder scroll of chim from the temple of chim, you get a 5% attack/defence bonus for your alliance.

Guys, just stop it. I'm not angry, I just want you to stop....

Gonna put it in a spoiler tag so those who don't want to see the lore rape don't have to see it.

Noon eastern time.

So two hours from when this is posted.

Edited to add: for the last two testing periods they opened their servers early.

i got another invitation for beta this weekend. last time i gave up after around 5 hours. i am not even going to bother this time

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

Played for 10 minutes and quit. What a boring game.

It makes Oblivion play like Dark Souls and read like War and Peace.

Judging from that text, Mauloch is just a cover name for Malacath.

so wrong, thiaf is actually based on a quality series so it will far more rage-inducing than tes online

"Hurry, with the passing of time indecision soon becomes decision!"

Oh man, the Prophet is so wise. I love all the double-speak he constantly does. "You must rescue me, and I must rescue you." Feels like I'm back in FF9 with those two weird little imps.


Also, Half-Giant Tyris? What? Bitch you better be able to pick up a club and smack Daedra over the horizon. If you don't get out of Oblivion and immediately herd the nearest Mammoth I will be very disappoint.

Mage combat straight out of Dragon Age 2.

I like how they gave away all those beta keys because nobody actually wanted to play that shit. Geez, I wonder why.
