"Likewise, the 4-man dungeons obviously require a group to complete," How so? Are the enemies higher levels? Is the combat
turn by turn? Are there alot of enemies? This is the elder scrolls and no matter what I could always figure around things unless they changed things. This "preview" does very little to actually tell me anything besides that this has a story

At this point, it sounds very much like Guild Wars 2, with its exploration-related quests, playstyles, zones devoted to PVP, shared PVP/PVE gear, etc. So I have to ask the critical question:
How is the combat?
If the combat is mediocre, it will make or break the game. Why should I play ESO over Guild Wars 2?

Anyone else noticing similarities between the media for this and the media for the old republic... single player experience, story, o don't worry, we got awesome mmo-ness at the end...
Seen too much hype about too many mmo's in the past to not be skeptical. Color me cynical

As long as every single fucking blow I land hits with no "MISS" popping up on screen, every single sword the connects with my shield or sword is deflected or impeded, and projectiles are manually aimed with no lock-on and hitting 100 of time, balanced only by the dreaded "MISS". I.E. Like every other Elder Scrolls game post Morrowind (minus the projectile part) and not like the mechanical combat of WoW.
Then they may, just may, get my money.

The sad part: I'll never get to try this out because of HD spiders. Whatever happened to good old spider-less Morrowind and mostly spider-less Oblivion?
You know, I never really have the confidence that this game could make me hype considering that the art direction look a bit too cartoony for an Elder Scrolls game. If they decided to make it look like WOW clones, why should I expect more from the game considering that's what most people frowned about. They should at least make it look realistic so that people actually awed with the look of the game before proceeding on showing us the gameplay and features, which is very slow to gain consumer's attention.
Hundreds of MMO have been made and most of them have not gain as many success as WOW did. Even GW2 have received negative feedback from the fans. Putting the Elder Scrolls label is one thing, but making sure it has received continuous praise have yet to be seen. A guy who plays Skyrim for 200 hours are immediately say that the game is boring, can the Elder Scrolls Online make people invest to the game for 600 hours and say it's amazing?

This is what I'm worried about too. It isn't a big problem for pve as far as I've seen, but pvp is an entirely different beast. The singleplayer combat mechanics never seems like it will work well for pvp. Only way we'll ever find out is when we get our hands on the game.Newtonyd said:
