There was never a reason to make TES into an MMO. Major single player games should stay single player to me.
Hope you weren't too excited about that Elder Scrolls MMO

I forgot. nobody would buy a non-FPP Elder Scrolls.Kaleion said:
Much of the rest seems like it would be able to fit.
Zenimax Online is developing the MMO while Bethesda works on other projects, presumably Skyrim DLC at this point. That being said, although I am optimistic about the potential of the MMO, I hope this doesn't give Bethesda a reason to stop making fantastic single-player Elder Scrolls games.Robert Ewing said:
for arguments sake, what about MMO's that are still on the market that are as old, or older then WoW? are they 'WoW clones?'Dendio said:
OT:
knew this was a bad idea from the moment i heard about it, so nice to know thinks seem set to confirm this
Like most people here my interest in this just vanished, i was hoping that they would make a game like skyrim but have it 1-4 players so you could run around with your friends but it will never happen.

That's why I've learned to mute trailers. The audio can build artificial hype. If it does look good muted, I'll watch it a second time to see if there was anything in the audio to make it even cooler.Fappy said:
OT: Well, I was never excited for TESMMO, so I'm happy to hear it's going to suck, otherwise I'd have to listen to everyone talking about how they love the newest skinnerbox mechanics.
C-c-c-called it!
And the Fallout MMO will suck just as much, no matter what the greasy hippie from Fallout: Houston claims.

MMO's predate wow, but WoW has come to define the genre. The WoW infrastructure seems to be at the heart of any MMO. At the end of the day you grind gear via pve or pvp and level alts.Lunar Templar said:
Its a very successful formula and nobody wants to stray too far away from it.
The future seems to be all about playing WoW in your favorite franchise universe.

only 0 is generous, come on Zenimax/bethesda whoever the fuck.
you finally hammer down some quality gameplay with skyrim, and then completely ignore it for your mmo?
wtf?
do something different! warcraft is cooldowns and quick turn based, so is ToR, so Everquest,Ddo, Allods, LoTRO... etc. Do your own thing for fuck sake. real time combat was such an obvious step, its been done in mmo but NOT in a triple AAA super high profile game.
Son i am disappoint.
like the old phrase goes, Innovate, don't emulate!
I'm not defending what they are doing, but think of it this way. Why is WoW still so popular? It is easy to run. hotkey based combat is much easier to run than real time with raids full of people. Try Vindictus. It has real time combat, but the problem is that it is much harder to run. MMOs are expensive to make, and if you can get 50% of computer users running the game, then that is a possible 50% of people in your market to sell to. if only 10% can run, yu just cut 40% of people from ever buying your game.Manoose47 said:
Well i must say im not surprised. its incredibly unfortunate but not one bit surprising, mmos really seem to be stuck in their mechanics with very little innovation coming out. perhaps one day we will see an mmo use real time combat and get rid of hot bars and succeed but it seems that time is not yet.
kinda figured you'd say that, and it's sadly true.Dendio said:
though depends on how interesting they make the 'grind', i suppose.
of the 3 i play, 2 have decided to hide the grin behind a more 'twitched based' game play scheme. though the grind for mat to MAKE the gear in the one can be a cold hard *****, it's ok cause i like the combat system, hell they give you a single target insta kill for the trash mobs, at lvl 1 even (its a grab, hitting the heavy attack button will, in most case, kill an enemy out right. doesn't work on bosses, they're to big to grab)
the other, my first MMO, which i still go back to
, more or less makes grinding for that 'epic gear' fairly pointless by virtue of not needing it at all for any of the high level content, be it a raid or other wise, and for the little bit of content there is that pretty much requires a power boost at the level cap, they made those boost laughably easy to get. so you know >.> you can have FUN with it and not grind for days and days trying to get ONE hunk of gear in a 9 part set
According to the Game Informer scans the game hasBlobpie said:
-A limited skill bar, like in GW and GW2, so you cant have have like 10 skillbars all over the screen with all of your skills on them like in WoW
-A Stamina mechanic that allows you to
--Sprint
--Block
--Interrupt
--Break some forms of paralysis
They say they are doing this to give players more self-responsibility to try to help break the trinity DPS/TANK/HEALER that other MMOs, like WoW, use. Quite similar to GW2 and its dodge mechanic that uses a stamina bar.
-Classes can combine skills, like a rouge's oil-slick, and a mage's fireball, can make a firewall. Again similar to GW2.
-Weapons determine your first two skills and you have a special finesse skill, similar to how GW2's weapons determine your attack skills and you have a dedicated elite skill.
-There is apparently no aggro mechanic, monsters use combat tactics that a player would use, and dont just sit around waiting for someone to attack them.
-It has a hubless quest system, so no going to towns to load up on quests
-There is a form of fast travel, and the compass with map markers are in the game.
Count how many times I mentioned guild wars, then count how many times I mentioned WoW.
the game doesnt play like woW
I'm actually not too surprised. The whole Empire falling apart, Skyrim rebelling, and the Aldmeri Dominion breathing down everyone's necks storyline in Skyrim seemed to be the setup for something. At first I thought some epic Elder Scrolls game where the player gets to travel to all the lands, like Daggerfall...
Now, it's just some shitty Mummorpuger. wonderful.
I can't wait 'til Guild Wars 2 is released. If nothing else to give devs something else to copy as they butcher their IPs.

I wasn't ever interested in this mmo and it ruins what I like about Elder Scrolls that eventually you were an overpowered god in the game. MMOs can't have that experience because all the classes have to be balanced and while yes you can go to lower level monsters and dominate them its just not as fun like summoning a storm to kill a town full of people or abusing sneak and laughing as you keep shooting arrows into someones head.
