Lost interest after an hour

WoW... just... WoW

Apparently, some people who gave it more time than i did say that it never gets better, sandbox wise. Youre just hopping from quest zone to quest zone which isnt elder scrolls to me. That thing is going to crash and burn so hard. Feels like something that was Dev'd hot on the heels of WoW to cash in but its like 8 years too late. I played like 2 hours and never logged back in.

Dont even feel like giving feedback because when you put this much time designing a game youre not going to scrap big chunks of it, its gonna be little tweaks here and there so no use in asking them "hey... what about a sandbox game, you know like an elder scrolls game?"

There is a lot wrong with the game, but it isn't really like WoW. I think maybe you're just defaulting to that as an easy way to bash the things you don't like, without actually being analytical and saying what they are.

You may want to note that though the progression from zone to zone is on the rails, I've found it fun to explore the countryside. You find quests that it does not point you toward, chests, skyshards that give skill points, resources, dungeons, etc.

Elder scrolls: Large open ended sandbox world

WoW: Zone to zone quest hubs, faction specific zones

ESO: Zone to zone quest hubs, faction specific zones

If you don't like the game, don't buy it. Don't play the beta, don't spend your time worrying about it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that you need to bash a game that others may like. The betas are put in place to test servers at max load (specifically this one). User input/feedback will make this game even better. So if you hate the current build, give feedback.


TLDR; Some will love ESO, some will hate it. Deal with it.

Listen, I didn't say shut up, I said try to give your feedback to devs..

Too late for "hey how about a sandbox" feedback unless they gonna scrap big sections of work already done, which i dont see em doing with the amount of money thats been pumped into this.

Quality logic there mate. Two things share some loose similarities and they are oh so much alike?

WoW: You collect experience to get to the next level, where you unlock new spells.

Everquest: You collect experience to get to the next level, where you unlock new spells.

Why are we playing this terrible WOW-like shitfest!?!?

I can understand that you wanted a world more like other Elder Scrolls and I get that, and that's a valid complaint. Likening TESO to WoW, however, is not.

Its not loose similarities, its trying to do what most other MMOs have tried to do since wow came out, emulating it for the most part and hoping the dollars will flow in. Its like that scene in groundhog day where Bill Murray is trying to recreate the night where he got the girl but cant get it right.

Its an outdated model for the most part. Ive tried to play Deus ex3 with all the rave reviews but i couldnt get into it because level by level feels so dated now that weve had a taste of open worlds.

Thats how ESO feels, a dated game. Instead of focusing on what makes ES great, the sandbox, they went along and made something most people are bored with by now. The go to quest hub A, move to quest hub B, then C model.

If that pleases you, ok thats not only wow thats used this. There, happy?
