Can't wait for all the "Arrow in the knee xD" jokes in all chat.

Interesting.
-
So, they're finally doing it? :lol Only way they'll get me on board is if they fully realize their world in this and it's optimized as hell. I would love to see the whole of Tamerial as Arena wanted. But given that they changed the regions (IIRC Morrowind's Island wasn't supposed to be an Island in Arena), they'd have to update that to match TES2-5.
Edit: In this month's cover story we journey across the entire land of Tamriel, from Elsweyr to Skyrim and everywhere in between.
Okay, so if GI is to be believed they're doing what I want (well, minus optimization). Hype++. :hyper

I wanted this a decade ago when I thought MMOs had potential.
But the funny thing is this:
game director and MMO veteran Matt Firor, whose previous work includes Mythic's well-received Dark Age of Camelot.
I became interested in DAoC because it looked like an MMO Morrowind to me.

:lol Yeah, seriously. But wasn't the flavor "data" about that supposed to be that the dust storms around Dagoth Ur was basically a breeding ground for them or something? I know some fans tried to rationalize that annoying bastards spawn rate. :lol
On the bright side: Brosidon can play a furry with me trolling him as another furry in the land. On the downside: Furries. Thousands of them. :'(

I was doing recruiting for this game back when I was doing that job, around 2008 or so. It's finally coming out, that's awesome

Finally a reason to play an ES game
-
The setting and gameplay type of Elder Scrolls really would fit an MMO well. Hoping it's first person.
Also hoping they won't fuck up like Bioware, but make something manageable. Break the mold, give the player freedom.
-
sounds boring as shit and fuck
-
It depends on if it's just WoW with an ES skin or an ES game with other people. Learn from neocron and ww2 online!
-
This will be hot. I can feel it.
Adding people to ES is exactly what ES needed to feel alive.
-
Unless I can play it single-player in exactly the same way as Bethesda's other RPGs, then my interest is zero.
-
Curious to see what sort of systems they use. Needs to be open world sandboxy or at least like GW2.
-
the joy of skyrim is that it is an open world WITHOUT other people
now we can enjoy massive game-breaking bugs and fucked scripting in the company of slopebrowed incoherent teenagers

Sandboxy open world would be the shit.
-

Are you saying that because it's an mmo...
...or because it's ES? :smug
-
Curious to see what sort of systems they use. Needs to be open world sandboxy or at least like GW2.
Sandboxy open world would be the shit.
The only issue is how you keep those sort of sandbox options working with other people around. Like if you want to steal a ring for some girl and decide to disguise yourself as a maid and then go to snatch the ring out of the mistresses coat... but then bam another player comes along, kills the mistress and takes the ring.
You could either decide that is how you're game is going to go and let people get pissed off or try to protect people from each other.
-
This is just my opinion, but what makes the ES games awesome is that they're completely opposed to mmos. I doubt you're going to get the sense of solitary exploration if you're part of some shitty guild and doing a raid or whatever the fuck.
That's not to say this game won't do well or ostensibly be a good representative of the genre. There are obviously tons of people with no taste and $15 a month to burn.
-
As long as this doesn't bleed over into the mainline Elder Scrolls series or Fallout, or effect the development of either, then they can do whatever they want with this online thing. Only don't come crying to me when this becomes yet another MMO bomb.
-
on the other hand, a fallout mmo... :hyper
leading a raider gang, cookin' up a pot of strange meat :drool
-
Well you can't have solitary exploration in a MMO and if you do then you run into the same problem as Bioware with he question of why SWTOR was even an MMO if its so single player based. You can still have exploration though.
-
on the other hand, a fallout mmo... :hyper
leading a raider gang, cookin' up a pot of strange meat :drool
If they go through with this I hope they make it fucking BRUTAL. From the sounds of it this ES MMO is gonna be some WoW carebear shit. Worse yet it looks to be a 3rd person and not doing anything interesting in that regard.
-

Don't eeeeeeven get my hopes up for something that awesome. I'd hate to have to become a hypocrite that plays mmos. :-\
-
yeah i'd totally backpedal on a fallout mmo
-
Fallout has the type of environment where player killing could be encouraged
Have one of the guilds be about commerce and merchants which will welcome a soldier/merc sort of class that fights against raiders in protecting precious cargo. Why doesn't this exist? Wryyyy.

Huh, it has art direction. Kinda surprising.

doesn't sound as good as getting hate spam for killing and eating another player
-
A Fallout MMO sounds amazing
-
Wait, is Zenimax Online in the same building?
-
Wait, is Zenimax Online in the same building?
Bethesda is in Rockville, just north of DC. Zenimax Online is in Hunt Valley, just north of Baltimore.
-
Full VA is such a content drain.
-
this is what I'd want a Fallout MMO to be like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSWRfI4SkWc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBja0TiKcXk
(It's a zombie mod for ARMA2)
-
Bulletpoints:
-Non instanced dungeons (instanced dungeons are there as well)
-No traditional aggro mechanics, any 5 skilled players can clear content
-Limited number of skills to be used in game "no skill rotations"
-NPC mobs don't stand around waiting to be pulled
-Open world free form faction vs faction PvP :drool
-
-"Recreateing the freedom Elder Scrolls players expect within the World of Warcraft-style mechanics Zenimax Online is using for this MMO would be impossible without changing the way that players interact with the world."
-As such, the game uses a hubless design
-For example, you don't necessarily pick up a quest to do the following, but if you kill all the necromancers in an undead barrow, a shade you free at the end will reward you.
-However, to help you find these events, various NPCs you talk to will tell you where they are happening and put a marker pointing them on your map, which is obviously totally different than receiving a quest.
-The game features three faction PvP where you fight to take over keeps and use trebuchets and other siege weapons to help do it. At the high end, you can have 100 v 100 battles. There are also farms and mines you can try to take over. Mots of this happens in Cyrodiil where your goal is to take over and hold the Imperial City to get faction wide bonuses for it. If you have played Dark Age of Camelot, this probably sounds familiar. For those who haven't, essentially the entire zone is a giant PvP area will all sorts of points of interest.
-The most accomplished PvP player on your faction becomes emperor whenever you take over the capital
-Back on the topic of the skillbar, you have a limited number of skills you can use at any given time, and can change them whenever you're out of combat
-The number of skills is equal to (paraphrase) "a light and heavy attack with your current weapon that take up the first two slots, a few more spells related to your class, and an ultimate in the last slot".
-For example, a rogue can put oil on the ground that a mage can set on fire
-A fighter can also spin in the firestorm a mage puts down, which sends out fireballs
-If you've seen Guild Wars 2 videos, ALL of the above will seem familiar
-The combat model will not be real time due to latency
=( What does this mean?
-The combat is based around a stamina bar which you can use to sprint, block, interrupt, and break incapacitating effects
-
Sounds like an extra mana bar to me :gloomy
Very dissapointing they went the WoW route, this will bomb hard.
-
No stamina bar sounds like ES stamina and GW2 stamina. I meant what do they mean by not real time?
-
Okay, found the scans of the article. It looks like a more medieval Rift.
-
Why call it Elder Scrolls if it's not first person and combat isn't real time? Might as well call it DAoC2 or something. At least TOR had the whole Sci-fi thing going for it, this is what, the billionth fantasy/medieval MMO?
-
yeah, it's not like "Elder Scrolls" is a popular brand.
-
-Third person perspective
-The game uses a hotbar to activate skills like other traditional MMOs
-Visually it looks like other Hero Engine MMOs like SWTOR
-The general art style is kind of like RIFT or Everquest 2
-The combat model will not be real time due to latency
- No player housing
- No riding on dragons
:fbm
-
I hear Star Wars is kind of popular. Shouldn't be too hard to make a great, well-selling, populous MMO with that. Easy as pie.
-
"It needs to be comfortable for people who are coming in from a typical massively multiplayer game that has the same control mechanisms, but it also has to appeal to Skyrim players."
"Recreating the freedom Elder Scrolls players expect within the World of Warcraft-style mechanics Zenimax Online is using for this MMO would be impossible without changing the way that players interact with the world."
:lol Wow, at least they're up front about it.
-

Crayman from GAF said it best: "Can we kickstop this? I'd pay like £10 to get this game cancelled"
-
Honestly, the combat will probably improve over the hand-to-hand combat in Skyrim. Skyrim may have been real time, but everything outside of archery felt lame.
The early screens just don't look very Elder Scrolls-ish.

You tell me how many millions Dark Age of Camelot did.

STOP MAKING EVERY MMO EXACTLY THE SAME.

NEXT WOW BRO
I've never understood that statement, like being the next wow was something to aspire to.
edit: and there, right above me, is exhibit a in why they never should let idiots have money.
-
Sorry my spunk is so bitter, Triumph :( It's my diet
-
People have been trying to create the "next WoW" since 2004. How's that working out, guys?
-
To be fair, ES has the fanbase to do just that.
-
My big want:
Blizz to make a Starcraft mmo. I think that'd be probably be really different from most mmo's in terms of aesthetic.
-
To be fair, ES has the fanbase to do just that.
Star Wars has a much larger fanbase than TES and the Tortanic has hit an iceberg.
-
If I liked the genre I'm sure I would be excited by the announcement. But I just don't like mmo's.
As far as the "next" WoW I would argue there may not be a next one at least in this market. I think Wow came along at the right time and acquired the right market. I think the market is WoW. Not people who just genuinely love mmo's or anything. It's similar to the COD phenomenon. The appeal is the specific game for specific reasons. Not the genre.
-
The "next WoW" will never happen because the subscription model is on its way out. There are no upcoming games that can command a monthly fee and retain a healthy player base.
-
To be fair, ES has the fanbase to do just that.
If you really think that, you're dumb enough to actually want to play another Shenmue. Oh wait shit-
But seriously, you've had a thread full of ES fans saying "no thanks" and you still honestly believe that? smh
-
I bet ToR after one year will have a much bigger userbase than TESO after one year. Book it.
-

Well, Star Wars Galaxies didn't too that great, either. I don't think every Star Wars game is going to be a success. However, Skyrim sold 9 million, many of which to Johnny Casual who DOES love multiplayer games. He may be all over this depending on how they advertise it. I'd say there's a bigger crossover between potential TES online players and Star Wars players. TES players are GAMERS. Star Wars players, well, that's a really diverse audience.

This, however, I agree with.
-
There won't be a pure Next WoW. The game came out at the right time and dominated a market that is dying now. Sub based MMOs aren't going to work in the future most likely. The market is moving toward FTP. Eventually one of the many FTP is going to start dominating that market, just as there were a bunch of MOBA games competing until LoL took over (and now DOTA2 is on the horizon).
GW2 seems like the most polished, likely successor to the FTP market; yes I know it's not a traditional mmo.
Are people going to buy ES Online for $60, then pay $15/m to continue playing? It'll work for awhile then servers will be merged, just watched.

This, however, I agree with.
The SWG comparison isn't really relevant, TOR hit 1 million subs in two weeks -- over double SWG's highest count ever, I believe. Currently around 1.7 mil (over two million sold in about a month from launch), with the most pessimistic predictions that it'll hit 1.25 mil in the next year. Honestly that's still a ton of people. SWTOR had some pretty trailers right out of the gate at least, all TESO has is some Dumbledore logo narration. I don't see TESO getting nearly as much hype (and thus subs) as TOR.
-
Each failed WoW-clone hurts the chances of the next MMO. I think the MMO userbase will eventually splinter into multiple games with millions of users each, but every TOR and Warhammer makes people pessimistic of the next diku-clone.
People are still trying sub models though, so they aren't going away quite yet. If Guild Wars 2 succeeds at a high level then maybe that changes the consumer mindset.
-

This is what puzzles me the most about this game. It's the absolute worst time to announce it.

Highlander 3, Highlander Endgame, Highlander the Source, TMNT 3, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Spider-Man 3, Green Lantern, Daredevil, MIB2, Rush Hour 3, Ang Lee's Hulk, Cars 2, X-Men 3, X-Men Origins, Alien 3, Alien 4, Superman Returns, every Disney direct to video sequel ever, Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolutions, Pirates of the Caribbean 2, 3, and 4, Shrek 3, Shrek 4, Star Wars Episodes 1 and 2, Star Trek 5, 7, and 9, Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four 2, Ghost Rider, Catwoman, The Punisher, Lara Croft Tomb Raider and TR2, the entire Resident Evil franchise, Doom, Mortal Kombat 2, City Slickers 2, Street Fighter, Street Fighter: Chun Li, Dead or Alive, Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, Darkman 2 and 3, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Max Payne, Judge Dredd, Garfield 1 and 2, Chipmunks 1-3, Hitman, Another Stakeout, Yogi Bear, Dragonball Evolution, Saws 4-7... this is getting boring
the point is movies learn about as well as magoose
point is when they announce "THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ARE NOW ALIENS" movie fans go in the proper bitchy mode that should follow,when that happens to game people nods and say "meh,makes sense to me,it's popular!"
besides aren't half of those movie like ancient history rooted in 19XX? :smug

Wrong Response:
"haven't you eaten the TMNT cereals back when you were a kid? don't you realize how popular it was?"
anyway let me elaborate a little better,i didn't mean that movie have no shame at all but they feel less shameless,there are sacred cows that get untouched and revered,like fight club but in gaming? not a chance nor it never feels like they try to force stuff simply because "it's going to make more money" was there ever a movie that had a certain script and then they replaced the main character with batman because batman is popular?
in gaming stuff like this has become common place,these thing are rapidly approaching the same level of shame of those stupid parody "XXXXX Movies" (man that's a good analogy,we should put it in the news feed) and it bothers me people are accepting this with a resounding "eh"
-
Cool beans. The best mmo exp. I had was with PDZ, online in the early days was a total blast. No dweebs, just so much fun.

i'm no movie expert,i mentioned highlander 2 not because it was the last whoring out movie i could think of but because it's the first movie i could think of where they screwed up the initial premise as bad as possible,but syndicate turning into an fps? that's recent history
and yes,pointing out the obvious "it's because it's popular" at the question "this is stupid,why are they doing it" it's the same as saying "i'm okay with that"

Everybody wants to hit the MMO jackpot.

Everybody should be doing their research. Themepark MMOs are a wasteland now, the WOW casuals have come and gone and that lightning in a bottle will never be captured again.
Funny that EVE is still going strong and increasing subscribers after 9 years. Maybe aiming to be succcessful with 100k subscribers in an MMO with no real end game is better than trying to swing for the fences and get 1million subs with a themepark MMO whose only point of difference is character designs.
-
It's a matter of how much it cost you versus how many people tossing you dollars you need to survive. TOR's 1 million + audience is nice, but the only concern is how much the project cost to make and if that's enough to satisfy the investment. Rift doesn't have huge WoW-like subscriber numbers, but it wasn't as huge an investment as TOR (as far as I remember) and Trion seems happy with the subscriber base they have. According to reports, LOTRO has become a bigger money maker since going F2P.
Maybe there will be a new "King", but I feel it is more likely the MMO playerbase will splinter into multiple smaller groups.
-
I'm not really sure anything can be said about the state of MMOs when essentially every new MMO that comes out is a shittier version of The Burning Crusade with some gimmick or another (Public Quests, Full VA, Rift's Rifts and Talent System...thing, etc.). TERA tried different combat ideas but is the same old shit at its core. Guild Wars 2 deserves some credit for trying to break the mold, but its fans are somewhat obnoxious for this.
I've yet to play an MMO that takes what WoW did and make it better, ala EQ -> WoW. Most of the people I know that I played UO, EQ, XI and even early WoW with are extremely jaded now, myself included. A good portion of them just don't care for the genre anymore. The community aspect of it all is dead now anyway I suppose.
-
I am sooo not obnoxious.
-
I am sooo not obnoxious.
Not really talking about you. You're capable of coherent arguments unlike the majority of the active posters in the GAF GW2 thread.
-
yeah they're a bit too much
-
I'm not going to join their guild, and I only enter the thread to make minor points or ask questions. Any criticism of the game is met with a barrage of obliviousness and dismissal. Seems like no one there has a problem with the UI, target system, etc.
I guess I'll wait for it to become as jaded as the WoW thread, which is more entertaining.

Titan is the next step no doubt.

Word.
If they would have gone this route for Elder Scrolls they'd capture a very steady crowd for a long time.
-

Wrong. It's all about MapleStory 2. :hyper
-
Depends on what Titan actually is. Is it a sci fi MMO? First person? Is it another fantasy romp? Does WoW go FTP once Titan launches? Who knows
-
Isn't Titan going to be F2P from the outset? I doubt it will be a WoWish MMO.
-
Titan should let players crew a spaceship. Really elevate that deep chat room experience.

Apparently the game will have lots of product placement, so I'd imagine it won't be a fantasy/medieval setting.

GW2 is the next step :bow
Have no idea what Titan is, but so far it has no established world associated with it. It's been awhile since Blizzard has attempted creating a new universe for a game.
-
GW2 is ok, but dev not the EQ > WoW step.
Really curious to what Titan will be and how it will look, a stylized look is a given as all Blizzards games have this.
-
Eh, I found quite a big difference between WoW and GW2. It's only Beta, but there's a jump in combat, flow of PVE, scope, size and just general feel.
As for ESO, I think some of the stuff they're going for is smart. I just don't know why they used the hero engine.

Apparently the game will have lots of product placement, so I'd imagine it won't be a fantasy/medieval setting.
Who says that? As far as I know the only thing they said so far is that it will have a broader appeal then the raid centric WoW.

Who's to say that dragons and wizards can't enjoy a refreshing Coca-Cola?

Last I recall hearing was that Titan was intended to be a more casual MMO than WoW ::) that you would play alongside WoW as it would be F2P and have less time commitments.
By the time they make a big formal announcement though, I imagine it will be something more than that. There's supposedly a lot of WoW's original A Team on that project. I can't fathom Tigole (bitties) working on a super casual game.

It's going to be a free to play Flash MMO for Facebook.

oh no that sounds terrible what are they thinking
-
Well WoW is pretty hardcore with raiding being the main thing at level cap, I think they want to get away from that.
And yeah the A-team is working on it.
(thanks for the link PD).

disagree. considering the audience size, blizzard could do well with a starcraft mmo. maybe not with the WoW format, but I think it'd do well.

lol I still remember going to Gamestop after SC2 was revealed and the clerk kept buggering me to pre-order WORLD OF STARCRAFT. I was like dude, last night SC2 was revealed, not World of StarCraft. He continued to argue it was coming out next year lol
Considering there are two SC2 expansions on the horizon, I don't think we'll get a SC mmo. Seems like Titan will be something entirely new, perhaps sci fi based like SC2. I tend to doubt it'll be another high fantasy set mmo
-
nah I bought my WoW time card and bounced. Probably went to Taco Bell after that, don't remember.

Game Informer has picked up the first official screen of The Elder Scrolls Online (above) and, well, hmmm. I feel like, if I sighted it while at some sort of game screenshot social gathering, I’d congratulate Kingdoms of Amalur and WoW on their successful coupling, and ask them what they’re naming it. Then Elder Scrolls would walk up and inform me that it – and not Kingdoms of Amalur – is currently seeing WoW, and a lightbulb factory’s worth of scandalous thoughts would pop up in everyone’s heads, but no one would say anything. It’d be really awkward.
:rofl

Gamestop preorder quotas have gotten so bad that some managers require anal rape as a tactic to acquire preorders.
