TOR isnt doing it for me, i was hoping to explore the planets maybe even live on them, hunt gather craft build communities, interact with npc and creatures and watch them interact with one another. the worlds feel dead and static, endgame is generic and space combat is a single player minigame../ so yeah elderscrolls will have to do and at least i have something new to look forward to so enjoy grinding for tokens that get you vendor gear while rolling alts... but i have my eyes set on the horizon for a game that will go out of its way to knock my socks off... it was a great story to 50 the first and second time around but everything else is dull and drab imo may the 4th be with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems like a good approach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfninjajedi Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 ....DAMNIT! I won't be able to play at all, I already played ES 3,4 and 5 on console. I can't just switch over at the drop of a hat. <<....Plus I can't pay for two games*sigh*oh well...thats life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temad Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I am just curious to see if they start with a LFG system, customizable UI and are prepared for server transfers from the get go. Just having those things ahead of time would suggest their designers have learned from other games...unlike..well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talsalus Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 yea a huge chunk of the elder scrolls playerbase are console players. Now.... if they were to make a pc/console mmo that shared the same servers I think they would have tons of players. But I don't think they even have console plans do they?

That seems like a good approach... i have something to look forward to, whcih is good enough for me at this point because as of now the mmo scene is not doing it for me at all . if their mmo is anything like skyrim, then i have nothing to worry about.

AceMcVeer Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Tera launched with all those 3 days ago. TERA didn't "launch" yesterday. It had its North America launch. It's been running in Korea for well over a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ushela Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) TERA didn't "launch" yesterday. It had its North America launch. It's been running in Korea for well over a year. Correct it didnt launch yesterday. It LAUNCHED on 5/1 in North America with LFG, SERVER TRANSFERS, and CUSTOM UI like how SWTOR DIDNT...OH WAIT, and STILL doesnt have ANY of them 6+ months later.

spiey Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 by the time this mmo comes out swtor will have a lot of new things.... there's something to think about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
river Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 by the time this mmo comes out swtor will have a lot of new things.... there's something to think about i wish this game all the best, but until it adds features that will engage me i wont resub, and at least i have another mmo i can look out for cause the current ones in the market arnt my thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeada Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Tera launched with all those 3 days ago. Tera is also an americanized version of a korean game. Not a new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammm Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 This is a sad day for me. I always wished that the Elder Scrolls games would stay a single rpg serie. The world needs more exceptional single rpg games, not less. Also, no more fantasy mmos for me, no more... I just can't stand them anymore.

Gazzaho Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 To be honest I love the TES series to bits, but to be totally honest I wouldn't rush out and pre order it. Bethesda are a great game company but they have this trend of releasing half finished software then finishing it 6 months or more later. I know they'll deliver the goods... Eventually. But, as with this game it comes down to how long it takes to sort major bugs out. A lot of gamers in todays market, myself included, don't have the paientence to wait around for fixes, there's too many other games either on, or just over the horizon. As I've stated, going on Bethesda's track record, they're sure to deliver the goods, but I for one won't be an early subscriber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushela Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Tera is also an americanized version of a korean game. Not a new game. SO frikin what? They launched in the US with features that players want included from the start. SWTOR is 6months old now and has 0/3. Those are the facts, all Im saying.

The world needs more exceptional single rpg games, not less. Also, no more fantasy mmos for me, no more... I just can't stand them anymore. i know where you are coming from but i always felt that the one thing missing in a skyrim world, was that it wasnt an mmo. the world is a perfect mix between themepark and sandbox elements, from the great main quest storyline to all the side quests and professions and relatiion ships and building strong holds..., imo its the prefect recipe for a great mmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
river Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Really? Are we really doing this now? Why is it such a bad thing to like SW:TOR? if i didnt like the game i wouldnt be posting this , i want bioware to add sandbo features and make the worlds inviting and in teractive , but if they dont do that for me i will have to find the developers that will if bioware ever makes changes that i find enticing then i will be here with bells on , but as of now the game isnt doing it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Leadon Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I just heard of this MMO, an im extremely excited! I have always injoyed TES, they have been working on this MMO for several years. Which is good news considering the amount of work MMO's need. I really injoy SWTOR, an i wont stop playing, as im a huge star wars fan. I even read the books, so this game is special to me. But i play on a small server, an i have had leveling issues. Sometimes no one wants to join for heroics, an i find myself having issues leveling. The guild im in has no structure either. Thats the bigest complait i have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had read the linked article in the OP or read about this anywhere you would know this isn't being handled by Bethesda at all its being handled by Zenimax Online a part of the Company(Zenimax) that owns bethesda.
