TESO the biggest rival for ARR?

[Zhinse]

Its a shame that TESO isn't out right now for the devs to study. The game itself is pretty big experiment. I am in love with a lot of the Ideas, specially the Mega-server.

Western Devs seem to love parading around their new ideas and concepts and have, Sometimes glossing over the important things like class balance, character building, and stuff that would actually keep people engaged for months at a time. Its easy to forget that FFXIV has some really unique features from mmo's at large that SE just forgets to mention or don't get address in interviews. The armory system is pretty damn unique but SE doesnt go making videos like "we have an amazing amoury system that lets you change jobs and use cross class abilities!". It's hilarious to me when a lot of the features new games parade around have been around for years in FFXI and other games.

Dont think a game like TESO can be a rival for ARR since action mmorpg have been failing alot, one big example is Tera the game started has a P2P title and its now a F2P game, players dont really enjoy much action mmorpgs becouse the game gets boring you can almost fight mobs without getting hit, for me i prefer to get my ass kicked a bunch of times and see that i receive dmg from the mobs then dodging them and do the hit and run thing aka Kite.

Last I checked TESO wasn't going to release on console. I'm a pretty big TES fan, but I've only ever played on console and never really bothered with the PC mods. As I imagine the vast majority of TES fans are from console, I'm actually not convinced that it will be such a huge success. I will probably try it, and if it has excellent controller support I may stick around, but my guess is that alot of the fanbase won't even bother unless it releases on a console. The MMO flavor of the monthers will support it at launch, before seeing it potentially crash and burn.

MMO's in general have been failing a lot.

If they haven't butchered and bastardized TES'es underlying lore they yeah FFXIV:ARR is going to have one hell of a time convincing me to stay on.

Though this is my mmo of choice if TESO gets to play around with tesnexus still, I hope it brings a new generation of player made dats to mmos, so much fun!

Aye, in oblivion it was fun interacting with the NPCs and such and doing quests, but the fighting itself is really bland. It's fun to play now and then, the world feels relatively lifelike which is cool- but it just gets boring fairly quickly.

Welcome to pretty much every MMO that has been released lately.

Bet TESO does SSM marriage too, hehe. Need some serious dats to make anyone attractive enough though ><
