That’s your opinion and that’s fair for you to have such opinions.
But yet… said opinions are shared by very few people who give XIV a real honest chance (more than just logging in for 2 hours and calling it a day). Like, I’ve yet to see a single person who played up to max level and tried max level content saying they disliked the game, lol.
But hey, keep echoing what everybody else says without giving the thing an honest go yourself. Everybody knows your opinions are flawed and formed from a lack of experience.
Yes, like those little caches. Dolmens, man they are popular atm. Turn up at almost any of them and there are people there ready to boogie. ESO has so much damned content, I havent even started on most of the Elswyr zones.
You know… I’ve never played ESO before, I don’t really know anything about it.
Might look into it sometime to mess with during downtime, though a part of me wonders just how you’d take an Elder Scrolls game and turn it into an MMO as the very format of an Elder Scrolls game doesn’t sound like it would make for a good MMO?
Unless of course they changed how the whole thing functions, then I’d worry about it not feeling like Elder Scrolls.
What I was saying, is that they have no reason to do so when they are struggling to service their current customers.
What’s the point in paying people to advertise the game on other forums when they are having massive queues to log on, and they are apologizing to their customers and scrambling to do anything they can to let the current people log on and play?
They don’t want to actively attract more people right now. They have more than enough already.
Its funny, you can visit cities and locales from Skyrim and go…oh I remember this place, I came through here.
It has one of the most detailed questing systems Ive seen, and the questgivers speaking the text puts a lot more emotion into the story. Its very involved and I generally choose to view all of it because I like story-driven content. It has its issues but a lack of content isnt one of them.
But yet everybody bashes XIV for having too much dialogue, lol.
That doesn’t really answer my earlier questions, though… I mean is it First-Person and similar combat or did they just slap an Elder Scrolls label on an entirely different genre? I’m just confused how you’d take an ES game and turn it into an MMO and not have the thing be entirely broken (balance/mechanics wise) as a result.
I would hope that they would improved upon Vvardenfel, because I played Morrowind and the majority of my memories are the endless walking through areas where you can’t see more than 10 feet in front of you because of nonstop dust storms through featureless terrain.
EDIT: Ok, I’ll revise that: I tried playing Morrowind and never really got very far in it partly because of that, and partly because of the broken character progression systems, and partly because the game lacks any kind of direction of what you’re supposed to actually Do, and the journal system was terrible so getting lost in your quests was easy, etc. The world seemed interesting enough, at least the outsides of the island where there were no dust storms, which is why I wish they’d hurry up with Skywind already.
Why would Square Enix pay people to go on other forums to advertise their game? Because they are asian?
It is not a widespread thing that companies do, but suddenly Square Enix does… because they are asian, correct?
It would fall in line with the whole “weeb” “weeb graphics” “weeb this and that” line of thinking that typically occurs on these forums. Weeb is used as a negative connotation here, and often against anything from the asian nations.
Companies will pay, and there are many marketing companies that do, simply because word of mouth is still the best form of advertising. The clap trap that you just spewed demonstrates that whenever you don’t like something, then it must be racist, & you’ll use all sorts of mental gymnastics to call it such.
It defaults to Third Person but you can change it to First if you prefer that. I keep it at Third as Im used to that in an MMO. You just scroll the mousewheel in to turn it to First.
Im not wild about the combat system but I have sort of got used to its - its not tab targetted the way WoW is, its a lot more dynamic and you need to move a lot and keep control of your characters. Im not that great at it as Im not as skilled and my reflexes arent great but I cope most of the time.
Its on sale on Steam atm (runs out in a couple of days) for less than $20 for the base game and you dont have to subscribe to play it. It has limitations of the ftp but its still a good way to test it and see what you think.
I did notice it on sale earlier, and I was always curious, but then I always ask myself if I have time for another MMO, lol.
That, and now that you mention it, I do recall hearing that it’s F2P and a lot of F2P games are grindy AF with Pay-to-skip/reduce-grind type models which is usually a turn-off.
But I could give it a chance. I’ve been playing Skyrim and I got so bored as to install Oblivion (haven’t fired it up yet, couldn’t find any good leveling mods that improve the God Awful leveling system MW/OB had).
And I keep seeing youtube videos popping up about Skyblivion and Skywind, and just been more in an ES mood in general so I might.
