I've been saving up so hard IRL to burn $100s in the cash shop! I can't wait to be the envy of all the other players, haters gonna hate. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

So what's the deal with the early start? As I understand it there are several and the Sunday one is for Tue direct download from Bethesda. You have to preorder before Sunday or can you just do it then?

I believe you need to preorder before Sunday.

You gotta have alts! amirite?


....truthfully the idea of a subscription model + DLC/micro transactions is enough to make me gag.

I was online last night trying to get a handle on the structure of this game. Haven't played betas.

But from what it sounds like, it sounds like SWTOR: early game is basically a solo linear game with a bunch of other players running around you do not need to interact with, then an end game with.... what? PvP?

Sounds like SWTOR. Which was a so-so single player game with an MMO part tacked on?

If so no thnx, sadly. Damn, must I come back to p99 for just some basic mmo gameplay?

Here's an article discussing the end game content:

http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/new...eteran-content

TLDR They are going to have high level zones (Adventure Zones) that have groupable+ content that I believe is not soloable, but I am not sure on that. I would assume it's not.

They're also having 12 man "raids" that they call trials. Trials will have leaderboards based on time to complete them, and there are time penalties for messing up. You also apparently have a limited amount of rezzes for trials. Not much is known about trials other than what that article shares.

Will be on the Daggerfall Alliance as Pitborn ( hopefully ) .

Won't see you in Thurgadin.

Decided fook it! Purchased, downloaded, and patching now. Soooo ready for a new game and hoping this scratches the itch.

Probably won't be on till the evening because I have weekend company but if any of you guys are playing and post your info I'll try to hook up with you when I do.

Tried the beta, it was so foreign to me im not sure i could get used to it. Never liked the console versions and not targeting in an online game seems weird, so does manually having to attack.
