Wait, did you just say people should experience his mom's ass first before forming an opinion? I guess you have a point, I mean I did play TESO for like 20 minutes before deciding it tasted like mom-ass.
We have a winner!

However, drunken shenanigans will undoubtedly be among the first thing I do when I get one...fret not!

Had a fucking blast with my brother and some people in Cyrodil last night. If you own a PS4 and this game let me know. Need more bros to stomp plebs with.

It's down to 39 on PSN.

Something like what, $12 on GMG or something?

ETA on your purchase!?
No idea. I held off for so long because my internet @ my current location is complete shit so it wasn't worth it for new gen stuff, but even now I'm broke so who knows! The joys of being young and poor. You can have my PS4 virginity though Ut, this I promise.

Magicka based whatever class is fun for leveling. Wear 5 cloth, 1 medium, 1 heavy (so you can level those lines.) Use whatever weapon, in fact take turns swapping different weapons in to level them up, but mostly use your class skills that are based on magicka. You can level with stamina and stamina skills, but it's not as fast/fun imo.

hate to say it, but that sounds better than anything else currently available in the genre.

I hope you are being sarcastic.

One content patch, 2 quest line patches, and imperial city - for one year's worth of additional content. To span until spring of next year.

I mean this game is now hands down better than anything else out in the market

I'll try it when it's ~$15 on PS4. They'll probably have it on sale for plus members this fall. I played roughly 15 minutes in the beta and it was horrible.

Shouldn't be too much longer. It's already down to 39 most everywhere.

Just hit VR1 the other day.

Difficulty went way way up. Dungeon bosses have more challenging mechanics than in sub veteran levels. If you aren't playing with a competent group with voice comm good luck to you. Better have the right spec, too. PvP campaigns saw a similar difficulty spike, and you'll take an absolute pounding if you aren't paying attention or are improperly/under geared. It's causing me to feel a lot more anxiety/accomplishment and in turn I'm having much more fun.

Champion system is sweet, and is the cherry on top of the game's already stellar character progression system. Feels similar to AAs if I remember them correctly. There aren't class specific champion points, but points you accumulate carry over to all your characters.

Combat feels terrible as always, but man is healing a blast. Haven't had this much fun healing since vanilla WoW. Lots to be aware of, lots to do, and lots of skill separating the men from the boys.

Lots of compelling gear sets to strive for. Unfortunately, they've chosen to go the 'random drops random enchants 'route, which I'm not the biggest fan of. However, the sets are attractive with compelling effects. I'm currently after a set whose 5 piece bonus is a 5% mana reduction buff for my entire group. Swag.

Edit: The story was awful. Like, the worst. Awful.

Why do you say combat is terrible when you follow it up saying healing is a blast and skill differentiates the men from the boys? The same sentiment applies to tanking and DPS, especially in veteran dungeons where one mistake can one-shot you.

Have you run veteran Darkshade Caverns yet? Guldmates tell me that one is one of the toughest ones for healers.

That was poorly communicated by me. The weapon combat FEELS terrible. Super floaty and without impact, same as it's always been. As far as combat interaction via abilities, I have zero complaints. Healing doesn't feel this way because you aren't actually interacting with targets. The only game that did it better was Vanguard (blood mage, disciple)

What MMOs out there have combat that isn't floaty and has impact? Not exactly certain what you are referring to. Are you saying that when you swing your weapon, you want to see some graphical display of it hitting your target like having blood splatter?

Ya, it's things like that. Sound effects don't match some abilities impact time. Range and visual effects are all wonky/inaccurate. A lot of it is due to animation lock, which is kind of unavoidable.
