Anyone who has played SWTOR knows about the ability delay and ability not-firing debacle. I mean you pretty much have to not even remotely know what you're doing or how to play the game, maybe even any video game to not notice when you hit or click your spells it doesn't fucking fire for the next two seconds or even at all.
Shit was so beyond broken it was unplayable especially in the first couple of weeks. I mostly played Knight and Trooper but from what I understand it happened to all classes.
If TESO has the same shit going on, I'm going to fucking blow a gasket I swear. Its also indicative that they're fucking lying through their teeth when they say they're not using the HERO engine.

I remember being really pissed about having such massive ability bloat, but I really don't remember abilities not firing when I clicked them. I also raged for a while when they took out the detailed textures. I mean I leveled 2 characters to 50, and there were little bugs here and there, but I don't remember anything being a massive issue like you guys describe. Crazy.

Dude, like I said - I don't give a shit about your inside drama scoops. It will be interesting to read a post mortem someday, by someone who was actually there, but for now, I'm just gonna see what comes out on release day or at least open beta when they've got all the systems in.

Utnayan aside, this is why some people here don't like your posts : you're promoting the game with ESO's official marketing material, tell people they're wrong "and I know it because I'm in the beta" and then when they ask you why you think they're wrong, you throw NDA at their faces, using it like some magical powerup wild card. If you don't want to talk about beta stuff, then don't. Saying you're in beta doesn't give you a special status here, especially when you're being a little bitch about it, if you would pardon my French.

Fair enough - I won't mention it again. I'm irritated that I said what I did.
It really has nothing to do with you being the Beta and everything to do with the fact that ESO end game PvP is pretty much exactly the same as GW 2 and you are hiding behind your "oh I've said to much" which is absolutely nothing. They've already officially said what End game PvP consists of and it is the same as GW 2 but worse.

You evaded his question under the guise of a clever counter-question instead of giving an answer, and now you're calling him out on it? That's bold even for you, Ut.
Here is a simple question for you that can be answered with one word: How many weeks ago was the last time you played any version of TESO yourself?
It can have WoW fluid animations and response and still won't change the fact the "massive persistent PVP" is instanced lobbies with multiple ways to change said instance.
Sorta makes anything else have a good chance of being stupid too unfortunately.

Yeah, this is one of my top concerns. I want there to be realm loyalty like in daoc. I'm just hoping they make changing campaigns very difficult.
I think the megaserver is a good idea: no ghost town servers, balanced faction numbers, etc, but it does cause this problem with instanced cyrodiil. I was trying to think of a good solution: maybe they can make you choose a campaign from a list of underpopulated campaigns with a new character, and that would be permanent. Course, what if your friends are on a campaign that is capped for your faction?
They put themselves in a bit of a pickle here.
Here's hoping they come up with something clever.
You've just proven you are a straight up fucken liar. Only a few posts ago you sat there and told me end game PVP is VASTLY different to GW 2 but you've just admitted you have no idea how they are going to implement campaigns/instances in ESO. You have absolutely no more information on PvP then what has been officially announced. I'm glad you've made it even clearer that you are full of shit.
GW 2 battle over keeps/land within an isntance. Losing? Change instance

ZeniMax's Paul Sage on The Elder Scrolls Online's endgame, PvP, and crafting | Massively
"The last pillar in ESO's endgame is the Alliance War, which is designed with the PvP player in mind. Players of all three factions will meet in Cyrodiil (a zone roughly nine times the size of a normal map) to wrestle over keeps, resources, and bragging rights."
World versus World - Guild Wars 2 Wiki (GW2W)
"In World versus World, players can besiege structures such as Keeps and Towers with siege weapons, and battle over resources, to win rewards for their world and prestigious World Experience for themselves."

I've already admitted quite a while ago that I was in the level 50 cyrodiil test around a month ago. I am telling you it does not feel like GW2, as much as they sound similar on paper. End of my comments on that matter.
Calm down, dude.

Your connections are a lot better than I thought! So you're playing their internal build? That's pretty awesome...

They don't have hardly any of the systems implemented yet that are going live in March.
Are you serious? Did you know that Wheeler and another guy (Yes, that's two people) were the only two people on the PvP team for 4 years?
And DMK was calm. Is that your only rebuttal now? Calm down... take a break... etc? That was one of DMK's finest posts. And he is completely right. You are such a spinster. I wonder if you are an SA goon trying to get everyone riled up on purpose.
Or is this your way of keeping this on the front page. Nice character creation video. I haven't seen such customization options like that since Star Wars Galaxies Beta 2.
And this right here proves how ignorant you are of the entire beta. You do realize there are three separate access levels right now correct? Maybe not. Looks like you aren't privy to one of them.

As of 09/24 at 6pm EDT the ESO beta forums are currently unavailable. Please keep an eye on your inbox for future invites. See you soon!
..... like I said, you have better connections than I thought.

/\/\ Vanguard had a better development cycle... Zenimax Online's management makes Jeff Butler and Brad McQuaid look like Shane Dabiri.
Correct?
It isn't that hard.
As I said, there are three betas. You do comprehend 1) Internal. 2) Friends/Family/Press. 3) Public phase/weekends
Correct?
It isn't that hard.

What's the confusion? You must be in 1 or 2, so your connections are better than I thought. Congrats!
