Zenimax Release AWESOME E3 - Video

Unfortunately Zenimax that is all it is, it in no way reflects the quality of the game !

If you guys ever go into the animated movie business I promise you I'll buy your stuff, its fantastic. However when you release a video that will be shown at something as prestigious as E3 have the courage to be honest.
Show a video showing all the broken classes, the endless botts and gold selling spam. Give the E3 attendees a taste of the endless downtimes, constant nerfs or the plethora of complaints here on the forums.

Hype like this might be good for keeping the suits happy as they grasp at our cash with their grubby little hands but we know the truth.
As a side note, just how many man-hours went into making this E3 spectacle ? Would be any chance those hours have been better spent fixing and refining 'OUR' game ! ! !

    Join your freinds?! I'd really like to but the fact you cannot go back and help people with earlier quests really stuffs that one up for me.

    Actually I see someone who looks a lot like me in that video (1.27) ... do I have a clone?

    Haven't seen a bot in weeks so sucks to be you if your still seeing them. If they did a live stream it would be on a closed server with their own people and not in an open one.

    Yeah, OP. That makes a lot of sense--show a promotional video highlighting problems/bugs instead of putting the product in its best light.

    Every MMO ever has had gold spammers, I have not felt that ESO has them in any significantly greater quantity than the other MMOs I have played. Nor have I encountered "endless downtimes." I've been playing since Beta, and to this day I have only encountered downtimes on scheduled maintenance days, as is normal (of course the downtimes during beta tests, I exclude.)

    I like the video but it looks like they mainly showed the 1-50 experience, which is pretty awesome. They should have also shown the trials groups with 12 light armor and stave users.

    They seldom share any real relationship to actual game play. And certainly don't highlight problems.

    Not in marketing, are you?

    That`s in-game footage.... that`s the game. Sure in the best light and all that it is a promotional video after all but its the game.... and it looks great.

    Remember all the cinematic videos Blizzard did as they could not actually show you with in-game footage as the game looked like crap?:p ESO doesn`t need that...

    Sure most things may not be as many expected but what they showed us there are things you can do and placed you can go to in the actual game...

    Not irony.

    "Disconnection" maybe, between the video's promises and our actual knowledge of the game, but there's nothing "ironic" about a video showing what you believe presents an incorrect version of the game.

    This is not for the sups, this is for getting more subscriptions

    Who ever made this video, does not work on the development team. This is PR department.

    Yeah, the poor, picked on game bashers. They take the trouble to make long, usually incoherent posts about the same things over and over and over again, for no constructive reason, and people actually have the audacity to call them out on it.

    You guys are absolutely right...they should show off all the bugs and issues, instead of the good parts of the game.

    Better is relative, and depends on what you want.

    Right now, end game, and social features, and some parts of the UI are most definitely NOT better and need to be addressed.

    Graphics, quests, voice acting, general game play, non-end game levels, crafting--those are arguably in the top tier though.

    Here are some comparisons just to keep everyone informed...

    Coke, doesn't create world peace.
    Tampons, doesn't mean you'll go horseback riding on the beach.
    Trojans, doesnt mean you'll get laid.

    Case in point: Promo videos are made to well.... PROMOTE the game.

    A "real" video would contain a lot of footage of most you sucking at this game and would only entice more botters/farmers to play in order to sell you gold.
