TESO the biggest rival for ARR?

[Gerrr]

I love ELdr Scrolls, but it seems to get weaker in each new edition. SO I can't be hyped about it until they have soemthig nstable to show.

GW2 let me down so I'll stick with ARR if the alpha was any indication of it.

Skyrim weaker than morrowind and oblivion?? Bwah??? What are you talking about??

It's possible that TESO will flop as hard or harder than SWTOR though because there's gonna be too many people who complain it's not Elder Scrolls enough and people who complain it's TOO MMO-ish.

I did have a look at TESO and it looks decent but it just doesn't do it for me.
Guess im just a FFXIV fanboy

Cool Beans!

With any luck you will go play that game instead. :-)

With any luck, you'll stop pushing people who think differently away from the game.. that if you still want this game to survive past 2013.

Nasty and immature replies like that don't make you look special.

What's he saying that's putting you in passive aggressive mode?

I applied for Beta at TESO, i like both franchises so i'm excited to see how both turn out. BTW i just tried out TERA, played 20 minutes and immediately understood why its going F2P, the FF ARR Alpha is better lol

Daggerfall fans said Morrowind was "not Elder Scrolls enough." Morrowind sold 1.3M copies in a year.
Morrowind fans said Oblivion was "not Elder Scrolls enough." Oblivion sold 3M.
Oblivion fans said Skyrim was "not Elder Scrolls enough." Skyrim sold 10M.

So... what is Elder Scrolls enough?

I don't recall anyone ever saying Morrowind was "not Elder Scrolls enough." Where are you getting this?

Elexias posts consist mostly of doom and gloom, little or no constructive criticism. I don't really care, if it gets the devs thinking, groovy. But if, even after launch she/he/it will have this attitude, then go play something else. i dont want to play with someone like that. just a personal opinion which can, and probably will, be turned right around on me.

i really dont think that TESO is becoming something linear and instanced like SWTOR.
(like everybody talking about that in here)
because it'll be much, much more openworld. and when we have seen the last MMO that really offered openworld? the most MMorpgs played around instances (which isnt a bad thing, but for pvp it is in my opinion).

i really see the potential in TESO to become a real different (more oldschool) feeling like DAOC.

No it isn't. It's not going to be anything like Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim except online (because that would be AWESOME) It's going to be WoW meets Warhammer. Basically.

If you are looking for an open world more sandbox type of game like DAOC you will be disappointed with TESO, I can almost guarantee that. You are better off looking at ArcheAge or EQ Next and Black something...

I really don't have a whole lot of optimism for TESO because they decided to go for the formula MMO just like SWTOR did except for the voice overs, and everyone is already playing games like that. Nah so far in my book FFXIV wins because they are more flexible in the kind of features that matters to them and to us as fans.
