[Megathread] Elder Scrolls Online

[Idoru]

I'm a little bit surprised to see so many of the same bugs I've seen every single beta weekened I've participated in...when this is supposedly the last beta before Early Access. I honestly would have thought that Zenimax would have made sure to fix them, so as to put their very best foot forward with potential buyers/subscribers.

It's a stress test, not a test of the final version for release.

I don't like being dumped into the main cities, created an Imperial Nightblade as my 2nd character, and after the Molag Bal encounter in the starting area, all of the sudden I ended up at Stonefalls. I was kind of disappointed. Oh well...

You can go back to the starting area if you want to.

Combat feels a bit better, but still isn't really giving a feel of being within the world yet. Skill lag was better in Alliance War this time, but combat still felt disconnected.

I am not sure how well this will hold up as a pvp game when the combat is lacking. I guess WoW had some pvp players despite its combat not being fit for pvp, but that was at a different time with a mostly captive audience. It's too bad, because I like vastness of the map.

PVE side: Quests have interesting stories even if they are breadcrumb quests. Still looking for some interesting exploration based PVE. Got to level 11, so maybe its later in the game.

I've been talking about native language ... a lot of people learn english in school, that's right, but I know a lot of people who have a hard time communicating in english even though they had a few years of english lessens in school.
If you've read the whole article, you would have seen that only 38% of the europeans can speak english to a conversational level, 56% in germany, 39% in france and 34% in italy - the three largest language groups in europe, besides the english.

Now, luckily, there seem to be default channels for DE/FR and people don't have to deal with condescending pseudo-linguists who furiously flood the chat that english is the only viable language on the internet and I don't have to report 30 people per day who think it's funny to call everyone who writes a sentence in german in their beloved nationalistic zone chat a nazi... which is quite ironic by the way...

But have fun with the other ~300 million europeans who don't have default access to an insulated chat-channel for their native language ... I've also heard the russians like to play on the EU servers, another 150 million people who don't give a crap.

150 million Russians are going to play Eso?! Thats awesome! Along with the 300 million Europeans who don't have default insulated chat channels, can team up and have a really hard time understand the game, because it isn't translated in their native language either. Add the Asians because there isn't going to be an Asian server either.

Personally, being European (English is my third language), i prefer playing in American servers, with with 250 latency, just so i don't have to deal with the usual country/language bashing. As a community, we have less trolls and are more mature (in my experience) but the "my country is better than yours" is rather pathetic.

I don't understand whats the big drama here: English HAS been the default international language for years! People who don't speak it, usually get together in guilds so they get their own community. It has been like this, in every online game, ever since i remember.

You buy a game online, that is in english/french/german... the game only has support to those 3 languages. If you dont speak any of those 3, you will be in trouble. But im willing to bet, most of the players do speak one of these 3 languages... If they dont speak those 3 languages, chat-channels are the least of their problems.

Wake up, click play, download 22gb again! WTF is wrong with launcher deleting everything

[Dispraise]

I'm seeing a crap-ton of people running around with monkeys, and I are sad.

Exact ratios hold for women too.

just like 70 million brits or 80 million germans are going to play this game ... it's always only a fraction.

Good for you.

So what? My argumentation was about the people who lose their shit when someone doesn't speak english in the zone channel and insult them ...
There will be a lot of people in the default english channel who aren't native speakers. They're going to play on the english channel for the very reason you're using here: because they understand the language (at least partially) - but that doesn't mean that english should be enforced by some zealots. If someone has a question and can't express it in english what exactly are they supposed to do? Use google translate for everything and get flamed for bad english?

Just because the game itself limited to three languages doesn't mean the people playing it are limited to three languages.

Yeah, happend to me too ... I'm quite mad at the moment. Launcher deleted the game files ... what.the.fuck?

[Deleted]

Not sure why people start their client with the launcher. It's use is only for updates. Are you expecting something this weekend?

It is both faster and safer to just make a shortcut to the executable and start it directly.

That said, the launcher issues are a very serious problem that have been consistently reported everywhere.

[Deleted]

i know its probably been asked a million times, but can you reset your skillpoints some how? all i can find on google is something about a shrine in a zone i can't even get to.

[Deleted]

well i have 2 quests right now, and both are bugged :> time to go hunting for other quests.

[vizzle]

I said a page or two ago that my MacBook Pro wasn't playing this game right, but after trying again today I was playing fine without any lag.

With that said, I don't think I'll be buying this game. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's just not drawing me in. I don't care to continue. That might just be gaming in general though, since I don't really play anything anymore (other than hearthstone for a week two weeks ago, which I then quit); not a fault of this game itself.

[Deleted]

I have just quit with eso for this weekend, got to level 10 on my dragonknight and I am satisfied with what I achieved so far. I also made the bosmer I am going to play in release. But now it's just 14 more days so I can wait for that.

[laardi]

Meh, downloader started to load whole 22gb again for some reason. Was able to play yesterday but not today due the downloading. Cant wait till release, i really like questing and exploring in this game !!

If the launcher is being buggy just try launching the game direct from the exe, you don't have to use the launcher.

Sorry if I missed this, but can't find any info online... are Imperials a PC race only?

Nope, the Imperial Edition is available for Xbox1 and PS4 too.

Sadly, its the same as the last weekends. the longer the beta runs, the more quests seem to be bugged. I can now finsih almost no of the quests anymore, I have 7 bugged quests at the moment, which relogs would not fix.

And its mostly the same problem: the spawn of quest NPCs just stops.

Yeah. It's speculated to be due to the phasing when the servers are heavily loaded. Which is something that isn't tested on the PTS (not enough people for it to start bugging out). I'm guessing it's something that won't be fixed till after release. Enough people bitching about it then should get them to fix it.

Has anyone ordered from here ? Do you recieve 2 keys? 1 for early access and then another when game officially launches?

I haven't ordered from there specifically but the red bolded part of the description very specifically states you receive 2 keys - this is also how other digital retailers like GMG are handling it. You get your pre-order key immediately and then you will get the actual retail key around launch day when Zenimax sends them out to the retailers.
