I didn't write a while lot. I wrote what amounted to 2 paragraphs, detailing how I test and what games I've tested before and what kinds of things I tend to do in game in a little more detail and my ability to test. Honestly if you're looking to get into the first beta wave, they do look for something like this. Beta testing isn't fun. It's not a demo.JaceArveduin said:
Otherwise your odds of getting into a later wave of invites are higher.
I bet your other answers were far better than mine, then, because filling it in put mine from average to above average. It might be because I don't play many MMOs, and I've only beta'd 1 game, LotRO. Actually, I just remembered, pretty sure I beta'd LoL too, but forgot to put it down.Baldr said:
Hmmm....typical trailer all things told reminds me of Warhammer Online.
Should be interesting to play though I hope.
Signed up for the beta and everything.
Cant wait to hear my friends say that "YOU ARE NOT A REAL TES FAN!". Dont get me wrong I like my friends...they just have monomania when it comes to TES.

Okay fuckwits: what the trailer shows us, and also the lore trailer from a couple days ago, what both of these show us is there are three playable factions in competition for power against a fourth ruling faction in league with demons.
So aside from the usual MMO grind there will be realm vs. realm among three factions, like Dark Age of Camelot, vs. a non-playable fourth faction, which I think is new. All this is awesome, aside from just the general awesomeness of the trailer.
Yes. It does indicate what some elements of gameplay will be like.
I filled in every field and got an excellent chance. So, hopefully soon.

I really do hate PG13 violence. I am not a "gorephile", but seeing somebody or something get hit in the face with an axe and fall over without any blood is really jarring, it completely removes my ability to suspend disbelief.
Out of all MMO's only this and Fallout are announced ones that are set in a game I'd actually be interested in playing. I am not particularly into MMO's in general, but I shall give it a shot and see if I can get in the beta.

To be fair, the Assassin is a Breton which is a decidedly magical race. And not actually human on top of that.CharrHearted said:
For the rest, it's just a trailer. Even gameplay trailers never reflect actual gameplay, every company is going to make trailers that reflect their game in the best possible light.
If I want gameplay I'll look up video reviews, livestreams and other sources.
If I want over the top exaggerated cool footage I'll look up trailers.
Ah opening a post with an unnecessary and inflammatory insult, nice.Fearzone said:
So you're saying that there will be a unplayable enemy faction? Just like almost every MMO ever made? And that you assume it means Realm vs Realm? The trailer does not indicate elements of the game play will be like, because all that can be pulled out is "maybe Realm vs Realm".
I don't see where you got Live Action out of that trailer. Looked more like a Blur Studio production to me.
I signed up, I hope I make it, I definitely want to give this game a try at least.
The trailer was interesting, I think I would have preferred gameplay footage though.

Same here. I do like fancy trailers, but I'd feel a bit more at ease if I got to see some in game stuff other than what we've been shown already. I'm a bit indifferent towards the game, at the moment. I'll wait to see what other content is released before I see if I should bother paying attention to it.New Frontiersman said:

Never had any luck with beta sign ups before, so lets see how this works out..

I signed up with only an above average rating. Personally since I generally have a strong antipathy towards the mechanical mechanics of MMOs (something Guildwars 2 seems to have somewhat done away with somewhat and thus I intend to get it) I tend to play them with reckless abandon while doing incredibly stupid things. Furthermore I try to get to places where it is clear they do not want me to go while abusing game mechanics and playing like I am in another game tend to net very strange results. Personally I would consider myself a drunk, dumb, deaf, and blind bull high on caffeine in a China shop when it comes to playing MMOs and would be no exception in a buggy BETA.
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.
