Elder Scrolls Online Beta Signups Begin

[vortalism]

I did not know that the Assassin's Brotherhood recruited Elven members.. Elven Ezio seems way too damn fast for how traditional Elder Scrolls combat goes... After that bit with the rope and the running and throwing knife I was expecting him to pull out a hidden blade and air assassinate the last dude..

This MMO looks a lot more 'interesting' that I had expected. Hmm..

Truth be told, I stopped feeling Elder Scrolls right after that standard MMO combat. I was hoping that'd they actually have the dev team that works on the Elder Scrolls games as reference so they could get that meaty combat right. Now it all just seems so artificial, like chicken nuggets. They could've really made this MMO stand out by making the experience similar to the actual Elder Scrolls games, just online..

Well I may still end up liking the thing depending on how well it executes and by that I mean ape off WoW.

From what I see here, I feel like a fair number of people were around for the E3 reveal, decided that it was too much like WoW-tRO, and left, only to come back now. I think it'd be prudent to mention that things have been fleshed out significantly, it looks like a real TES game, and it also looks fun. I signed up, was given an excellent chance, and am more than excited to give this game a test run.

Well, based on that trailer it looks like they aren't bringing Slow Fall back.

Therefore, this game will be terrible. QED.

Okay, not really. If it's F2P, I'll give it a shot (first MMO ever, yay), but I'm going in with low expectations. Especially if they make the lore more generic.

I just don't think it's really a TES game if you're not playing it in first person. Then, it's just another run-of-the-mill RPG. Besides open worlds, first person view is what really set the series apart.

I think I have a fair chance. Good Luck to all those who entered! Also, it will be perfect to test out my new gaming PC I just bought.

I guess with an online game, there will be no more single player/stand alone titles. Lame.

You guess incorrectly. This is being made by Zenimax Online. Bethesda Game Studios, the studio responsible for the entire TES series, is still making single player TES games(though I wouldn't be surprised if another Fallout game comes first).

Yeah, open worlds, first person perspective and use-based skill gains. I am not optimistic for this game, but I'm willing to at least give it a chance. Hopefully ZeniO doesn't disappoint me as bad as Bioware did with SWTOR.

My computer started wheezing just from the trailer. I think I'll have to pass.

 

[Daveman]

Yeah, I'm dead keen for this, so I signed up. Not likely to get in though I'm guessing due to never having played many MMOs or beta tested anything.

 

[Zedresserit]

Does anyone know if you'll receive an email letting you know you haven't been accepted?
I guess it wouldn't break my heart that much if I wasn't accepted, but I'd at least like to know as much.

Same. I'd love to play, but my PC barely runs Minesweeper these days. Shame, really, as I love TES.

Then again, plenty of people are saying it looks like WoW, and I've never played a more boring piece of shit than that snoozeathon. Perhaps it's best I can't run this.

No they will not send you an email. You see they always start off with a small amount of testers and then as the beta goes on they invite more and more people so they cant ever really tell you that you will not be accepted because you might at a later date.
