    Signed up! That trailer really didn't do anything for me, though. More excited for FFXIV: ARR

    signed up. nice trailer but that won't be actual gameplay :P
  • ChoochChooch K-Pop authority™, Pho King Madison Heights, MI Icrontian
    Never said there was actual gameplay =p
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Agreed, just commenting on trailers in general.

    Generic fantasy cinematic #23.

    I never thought I could be so "Meh" about a TES game, but I'll hold out hope till I see it in action.

    I'm finding it hard to imagine successfully translating the ES gameplay into MMO. It'll have the lore, butthat's all. Beyond that it'll just be typical MMO fuckery, just like every other single-player game turned MMO that came before.

    Say you want to make a multiplayer Elder Scrolls. If not an MMO, what would it be?

    Skyrim with a party system like Borderlands 2?

    I believe the above method would work nicely. here's hoping they can incorporate that into a future release.

    From what I know of TESO, I would say it has a good chance of being successful in emulating the traditional TES mechanics and just being a quality MMO. Of course you can only tell so much of gameplay based on what the developers show you. I'm not gonna hold it to the standard of Skyrim and the rest since it's not being developed by that studio and a singleplayer RPG is a different beast then a MMORPG.

    That's an ass wearing a hat. The eyes/mouth should be on the hat, not on the ass.

    Irreconcilable differences.
  • MiracleManSMiracleManS Chambersburg, PA Icrontian
    I don't know how I'll feel about this. Reconciling the hero piece of TES with an MMO setting might be too much.

    I love the setting, so hopefully they pull it off.

    Got my invite yesterday for this weekend's beta run.
  • ChoochChooch K-Pop authority™, Pho King Madison Heights, MI Icrontian
    I got my invite as well.

    Dangit, I really want one D:
  • NullenVoydNullenVoyd Orlandish Icrontian
    Also got a key, also expecting it to be bland at best, but also willing to at least see what they're going for.

    Curiously, I openly admitted on the beta application that I'm very skeptical of a TES MMO.
  • trooster89trooster89 Are you from London? Icrontian
    I got one! I really hope it won't be as disappointing as I expect.

    I'd much rather have a coop skyrim.
  • ChoochChooch K-Pop authority™, Pho King Madison Heights, MI Icrontian
    That would be awesome if they had a co-op skyrim. That would be much better.

    There is a mod for that. No idea how well it works but it's there.

    I got a code for the beta, it starts tomorrow at 6 and ends Sunday. However, I'm going to be working all weekend and won't have a chance to actually play the game, so if anyone else wants the code in my stead, let me know.

    Should we coordinate a bit if we're gonna be playing in the same faction? Me and a friend who also got one will be in the Ebonheart Pact.

    I was planning on playing Aldmeri Dominion, but I'd prefer to play with people.

    -edit-

    Though I assume I can make more than one toon on differing factions.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    I have done precisely zero research, so I'll just jump in wherever you guys are when I get back home tonight. Gotta make a trip to the symphony first.
