Elder Scrolls Online Beta

[featured_spectre]

isn't the beta is closed now until the game release?

[jaminben]

Ah, that would just be my luck... it just allowed me to sign up as well

I meant for those that continue playing.

I'm still toying with the idea. Given we'll all likely have to start new characters, we could get communal levelling going on.

[featured_spectre]

The game wont allow beta characters to continue (you dont know how many times I got annoyed at having to repeat the prison at the beginning of the game on EVERY beta test!!!)

[Garacesh]

Never get emotionally invested in Beta characters. You always lose them.

[featured_spectre]

I know, but I maxed out the characters a few times. It was easily done in the beta as killing anything and everything got you XP (even the tiny little mudcrabs!)

 

Plus at level 50 (max level) you get master dungeons, which are, well, painfully fun!

For anyone interested, the full size of the game is expected to be around 60GB (before any patches, or DLC)

[bushby]

nooooo that will take me yonks to down load -_-

[Sunnyknight]

60gb... like fudging bf4 all over again... 1 - 2 hr dl.

 

As for group levelling.... I see that failing. Youd need to all stay on the same quests... areas etc etc. If anyone solos at anytime.... game over as such.

 

Did it in wow and gw2 though with a nice social group. All logged at the same-ish time and levelled together. Ended up being a fearless guild in pvp / wvw.

 

So yeah... would need a committed group to do that imo

[Garacesh]

Eventually it would fracture as people with more time played, or people with less didn't, but to kick-start off our new characters it wouldn't be too bad.

Get an EduGuild going lol

[Sunnyknight]

We'd be 10 strong!!!! Against the hordes of foreigner guilds lol

[featured_spectre]

I wouldn't do it for any period of time, I can't commit to such an endeavour.

Guild motto: is it on the help desk?/ blame sunnyknight

[featured_spectre]

no...should be..."Have you tried switching it off and on again?"

*Kicks Bushby out of the guild* How dare you! xD

I plan to hopefully have a couple of characters, which can be in the guild. One I will max up with smithing as an imperial, so he can create some awesome armour, and another as a mage type deal to enchant it to high heaven, then another as a fighter who will wear it!

[Garacesh]

Not played an amazing deal of it, thinking I'm going to really hammer it this weekend.

Also going to give recording it another bash, since last time I fudged up the settings before recording my first impression review and it was bad quality and poorly synced sound.

(Serves me right for not doing a test recording first!)

[featured_spectre]

They're allowing everyone to play as an imperial this weekend, I can see it being over run to be honest. lol

 

But good thing really, I want to be an imperial to be able to explore everywhere on the map and have no affilation until as late as possible

[Garacesh]

I like elves, personally.

Kind of irritating you're forced into a.. faction? alliance? thing?.. depending on your race, but I'm hoping that actually has no basis on play and it's just about where your race comes from or something (I'm not amazingly well-versed in Elder Scrolls lore)

[featured_spectre]

When you are in the faction, you are limited too your travels. You can venture into other territory, but prepare to be ganked!

[featured_spectre]

Atleast as an imperial you have some impunity and can go across the map in its entirety with a degree of protection, because you can freely explore and nobody knows the faction you're in.

[Garacesh]

So you're telling me the factions (whatever they're called) races are based on result in racially-motivated PvP?

 

To be clear, above the race symbols during character creation is some kind of faction/alliance symbol denoting the races allegiance. The ones on the left and the right have three races in them, the middle one has four. That's what I'm on about.

Well @mrjonesybop and myself will be playing it over the weekend for a while. Would be interesting in grouping up for group events and such if anyone will be around?

Playing on the Europe server for a change, mostly likely as Khajiits :-)

Nabajits.

 

That is all.
