So I casually walk into their towns and they give me rewards? What kind of enemy is that?

If I was gay I would have your babies with that post. (Not trolling) Do you know how many times we all see this? I am cynical because of things I hear, but the first thing when I see the "Game starts at this"? I see someone trying to get people to sub up for a couple months, get to the point where they think it gets fun, and ... plummet back down to reality knowing they just got had. A game should be fun from the get go. It shouldn't ever take "level to 50 to see the real awesome parts". Because if it is designed that way, it's a failure.

I have no clue, but it is kinda funny. I'm not sure if you are actually doing the other factions quest(ie exact same) or since you are in a separate zone from that actual factions questers, if you get your faction NPCs giving their own unique quest just in the "Enemies" part of the world. If it's the former then its very dumb and really makes no sense for a game with 3 factions at "War". I could see the latter working if the story somehow equates to your side has won so you conquered their lands and now you have taken over and your own side gives you quest to do in the now conquered lands.

Isn't it great? You weren't here for the last 12 years, so maybe you should read this post again. Also, I know you took a few sociology classes according to some of your really ridiculous posts on the old Rift forums, but the internet isn't your own sociology experiment. Unless you are Raph Koster.
Welcome to the forums Rescorla. You won't last long here.
And even though you think you are posting to a whim or two from the replies you get, I know those posters. Khalid hates my guts and everything I post about. I still value Khalid. Because he is here, and has been here, and you are a never has been. When Khalid rips on me, I rip back, and regardless, I even respect what he says (Regardless that I know he is wrong) because he still has the respect from me to read it because he has been through the shitstorm of our little community for the long haul. So has Cinge, Jooka, and all the others. Some troll it to see what kind of entertainment they can get, others are sincere. Either way, they belong here, and have been here for as long as I can remember.
You, however, and some of your other 2014 cronies, have not. Miracously some of your little buddies happened to show up after the NDA was dropped, where you ripped on me for the NDA dropping, but yet, didn't dropfor the high level game of which you still cannot speak about. And hide behind. And ZO still bans those youtube videos.
What I am trying to say here is I end up pissing off Tuco, I'll piss of Draegan, they will put me in the corner like Willie in Little House on the Prairie on a meth bender, and I will get ripped on by some people from time to time... I'll embrace those. Because they know my posting style, they know I am over the top, they know I definitely come across as an ego maniac when I post... But... they embrace me as much as I embrace them.
You, the little shill that could.... And it takes more than a few sociology degrees and twisting words around to make that change here. It's time for you to go back to the MMORPG forums. Because no matter how much I rip on a few folks, they are still awesome people that have been here for the long haul. And you, are the turd in the wind thinking you will fly by the night and shank someone like me, is a moral internet victory and a challenge. Go back to dungeon crawling in Everquest. I hear it's the bees knees. And just like TESO from your great comments. Where all of us who have played it know you are full of marketing bullshit spin and conjecture. Like the very same first post you laid here when you registered.
Tuco, light these fuckers up in the game with PRX.
Technically, neither were you. You were banned for going apeshit and ruining threads and chasing away actual insiders in our last forums, which I joined in 2002.
On a side note, an open PVP server sounds intriguing but I'm not sure it'd work with their current configuration. It'd make Andred look like a playground. I am concerned with the long term viability of PVP. I'm not sure how long it'll hold my attention.

You are wrong. I was banned because I was in the midst of calling out Requiems bullshit. And when they tried to reinstate me, including that bat shit insane blonde chick who fucked Alex, were stopped by him and him alone. And we all saw how that played out.
The day people are banned for exposing the shit we should all know about, is the day rerolled is admin'd by Putin.
Get your facts straight. I have some emails I could share with you, if you would like to see?
And before I get called out for some real name garbage, I was told that's not her real last name. So it doesn't apply here. I *****'d it out just to make sure.
Either way, Gecko, you just don't worry your little head about it. No one is full of shit except the 2014's that have invaded this forum. Not even you.

You artfully miss the point, guy. Nobody is saying that the game isn't fun early. It's a MMO. It depends upon how you play it. You know, like every other MMO ever. The point that you're missing is that people play atutorialand then judge the entire game based on their experience learning how to press 'w' and left click.
Further, what MMO has ever allowed access to all content since level 1? You're creating a false dichotomy to shitpost no matter what is said. Either it's bad because some stuff is held back for later levels when it should be fun from the beginning or it's bad because it doesn't have an endgame. Are you a quantum computer? You can't have a binary both ways.
And when it comes to shills, a great way to spot them is that they never bend. They'll be purely negative to the point of making stuff up or purely positive to the point of ignoring criticism. There absolutely is somebody in this thread who fits that description, but you probably wouldn't appreciate it if I said who.

This game has neither. The end game is PvP. People are excited for it. If they can bypass the combat mechanics, which suck, then good for them. They have nothing else to look forward to, and the end result is seeing people play this with some folks for a couple weeks. Fine. We all get that. Publishers and dickheads like Firor capitalize on it. They already dropped the entrance to "the end game" to level fucking 5. Why? They wouldn't undue that gate unless they knew the PvE sucked and had horrible feedback. They did one thing right. Something that will allow people to play the game passed about 5 hours. If they dropped it to level one, I would love to see how many people last 5 levels before they get to the PvP. Which will keep them attracted for about 2-3 weeks and then falter off.
Any chance of a guild for filthy casual types ? I expect there to be a hardcore guild, and nothing wrong with that , just wondering if there's enough parents/two job working etc etc folks that still want to hook up when possible ?

Absolutely. I'll be playing for at least a few months. A few others have noted they will be playing. Tuco and PRX will be busy ruling the galaxy, but I'll probably be playing and looking for groups a few nights a week.
I do know groups were pretty easy to get in beta, and I think they'll be easy initially for the game. I'd really like to get a steady few night a week 3 or 4 people for a lot of the group content. I will be doing some crafting as the system looks rewarding also, but not exactly sure what.
The low and mid game are PvP too, and there's a PvE endgame. You've had that pointed out multiple times, so about that pattern of ignoring details...
All you've said here is that you don't like the game and hope people cheat. Good for you. Play something else then.
Now you're making a prediction based on a falsehood that you know is wrong. Again, it has been pointed out to you many times.
No sir, that's only in your head. You compose the entirety of "we all".
So now on top of making things up to criticize the game, you're calling the developers names to support your fiction? Really?
I don't even know what you're talking about. You called the "end game" PvP. The entry is level 10. And again, that's not all there is to the end game. You're conveniently ignoring Adventure Zones, veteran dungeons, alliance zones running from level 17 to 50, the main quest, the endgame in guild progression (Mages guild, Fighters, Undaunted, soon Thieves, and Dark Brotherhood). Going the "no content" or "too little content" route to criticize ESO makes no sense because if you actually knew anything about the game, you'd do a 180 and say there's too much content and no way they can balance it all.
So now you're answering your own rhetorical question to theorycraft about something you made up. Classy strategy.
"They did one thing right." -- and then you don't complete your thought by following it up with an "if". And it's an "if" that would worsen something you made up to criticize them.
Come on. If you're trying to criticize the game, then you could do better. If you're trying to troll... Well, you win I guess.
Cool , my usual playtime will be 10PM ish cst on ,during week once kids and wife in bed , when game first launches I always try and play a good bit as usual. I'd enjoy both some PVE grouping but will admit PVP will draw me a good bit to it (hopefully anyway ).
Of course if Brad needs me I'd have to bail for my apprentice developer position.
