✭✭✭✭✭You have to remember something about the whole death screen thing: AOE ticks are added up the entire fight before you die, so if he stacked 3x300DPS AOE on you and you died in the 2nd second thats 1800hp damage shown on the screen.Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.0 -

True. I have read that. However...at beginning of battle you throw one attack and u are dead. Not sure how there is time there for anything to stack. Think of it....who at VR3 has 2600 hps?0 -

I will play occassionally but going to give Wild Star a try. I declined all beta invites because ESO was so good. Lately however "VR content sucks"
Thanks for letting us know I think.

Apricot✭✭IMO, Wildstar is a bad MMO. It's pumped on hype of being the next WoW, and granted it's launching with lotsa features, I almost hated playing it with any class combination I tried. The graphics are from the year 2000, the art stye IMO is kiddie lame, and the only draw I had to the game was how cool the developers approached the game. But really, when you get in game......it sucks.
I'm looking forward to the stupidity of the media upping this game compared to much better games along it's side.
In my experience people who claim WS sucks haven't played it past level 15 or given the reason because . . . graphics. Most people who actually played WS have a totally different view. To be honest I had no intention of ever stepping foot in that game because of the art style. Finally gave it a shot. The starting areas are indeed "meh" and at first the classes seemed "meh" as well.
But the thing about WS is the more you level in that game the more intense it becomes. After level 15 things change. After level 30 the game goes into omg-can't-put-it-down-it's-so-fun mode. Classes feel smooth and really well done. Abilities synergize and combat is AWESOME! Once you go into a dungeon or raid? That's it. If you like challenging, reactive, intense and fun content you're hooked. It's the most fun I've had since early WoW. I'm also SUPER impressed with the PvP.
This is all subjective, of course. If you like doing repetitive questing over and over ESO's your game. If you like endless zerg PvP, you'll enjoy ESO. If you like having access to tons of useless skills and builds, ESO's for you. If you like mindlessly mashing AOE abilities, you'll like ESO. If you like playing one of the two classes that actually make sense and spending hours and hours and hours doing linear quests for pocket change, then you're in the right place.
If you like DC's, hackers, exploiters, botters, bugs (and more bugs), broken abilities and passives, then you'll love, LOVE ESO. If you think that having to spend weeks and weeks to reach level cap = hard, then you should be playing ESO. If you think this game is at all challenging then by all means, keep playing.
As for me? On 5/30/14 at 12:01 PDT I'll be logging into WS with a ton of guildies, and you'll never have the pleasure of seeing my face here ever again.

A quick look at the forums tells me that WS will be just like any other MMO. It'll be fun for those who like it, and not so fun for those who don't. To be honest, since I've never played it, and probably won't it looks more gimmicky. IE: Great fun for a few weeks, then you start to lose interest.Toktok - Vet8 Orc Templar - 2 Hand, Medium/Heavy Armor Grunt - Blacksmith/Clothier/Enchanter/Alchemist0 -
nalimoleb14_ESO✭✭✭✭I don't think I'll ever be able to play an MMO again that doesn't have 3rd person shooter mouse control as the default. Nothing makes me feel less immersed than having to choose between using A and D to turn, or holding down the mouse button.
As silly and/or petty as it might sound, that's actually what killed Wildstar for me (that, and I'm not quite sure what kind of steroid gaming rig can actually run it on ultra with no problem because it was a sputtering mess for me!) But the biggest problem I had was the fact that I'd have to hold down the mouse to change the view/direction I wanted to look at, and I've been spoiled by too many other games which allow you to control your view by just moving your mouse, and then equipping attacks/blocks to your left and right click mouse buttons. That, and I just like more realistic looking MMOs...

Good to hear. When it comes to MMOs, graphics are not a priority for me. I actually like the graphical style of WoW. I didnt play the WS beta and bought the preorder so I am glad to hear some non-negative about it.

Moiskormoimi✭✭✭✭I'm with the 'couldn't get into Wildstar' crowd. I only have room for one cartoony mmo and that's WoW. Have no love for it's hell spawn.
ESO was great 1-50. Vet levels are unrewarding and regurgitated. It's a lazy man's way of trying to extend life to something that wasn't fully developed but pushed out the door. They may fix it before it the ship sinks, they may not. They won't, however, be doing it with my money.

Gern_Verkheart✭✭✭✭I personally love ESO. It is everything I want in an MMO. There are clearly plenty of issues that need to be resolved, however. Such as class mechanics and scaling, the lack of an effective auction house, etc. But the basic game is fun, and everything I hoped it would be, and I am confident that Zenimax will deal with all these issues in the coming months.3 -

Not eating through my nose.
Not traveling backward in time and shooting Lassie.
The possibilities are endless, and now that you've whetted our appetite for what you're not doing, I just have to have more!!!

I haven't played it so I'm really just being hopeful, but I think that voice acting and too much story are not good for MMOs. They are cool with one character, but after that it's pretty boring. That may just be me though. I had the same issue with SWTOR.
I'm probably in a minority, but some of the most fun I had in MMOs was a mixture of grinding and quests. As long as the combat is fun anyway.
