Shame!

robwolf666

Yes ladies and gentlemen, shamed. I got shamed big time on ESO today by my 12 year daughter. See, she's relatively new to video games like ESO, in fact the only thing remotely similar to it she's played is Neverwinter... Yet, somehow she's managed something I never could. I've been playing the game almost daily since it came out, she's been playing it less than a week - What did she do you ask? She only managed to defeat Angof with a puny little level 9 Sorcerer... I have no idea how, or even how she found the quest so early, but there it is. I've always been around level 14/15 or higher before I've got to him, but not her, oooh no!

No doubt someone will come in here and brag about beating him at level 5 or something, but that's not the point.

Yeah, the game is far too easy now…
Remember Doshia.

I am so tempted to put the shame meme, but i wont

Most kids I've met IRL have been really bad at RPG games and really good at FPS games. I suspect it's because it's easier to learn to target correctly with a weapon, than learning English to understand the difference and function of the various fantasy skills such as healing, crowd control etc.

Kudos for your 12 year old ^^

Why shame ?

If I had a kid a that did that I feel nothing but pride knowing that they're on the right track of being a otaku.

The interpretation is that his kid "shamed" him in a test of skill at the game he plays, not that he is "ashamed" of his kid for doing so.

Yeah, it's a shame that 12 year old kids play video games that are not made for their age instead of playing outside with their friends.

You're all my friends.

Sadly there is no difficulty left.

Everything was nurfed a long long time ago.

I remember when Molag was a battle and a half, now, its a breeze in the park.

Shame on ZOS and their difficulty nerf hammer.

Since, she as played neverwinter. Her lvl for MMO is higher than yours OP.

@robwolf666 First of all: the game is not made for kids. Second of all: yes, it's easier now than it used to be, but this doesn't change the fact that it's not made for kids.

Here was a similar thread posted something like a year ago or less where I totally lost it in my reply to it (I don't regret it!), and I'm not going to rant again, BUT I got 1 question:

What do you do, how would you react, if some random guy came on to her and starts some kind of "dirty talk"? How could you prevent this to happen? Is that even possible? Can you protect her? You cannot make her forget when it happened.. Yeah, that was 4 questions, but anyways.

There were at least one or two threads in the near past here on the forums of which some postings made it clear that this DOES HAPPEN in this game (I guess this happens in every online environment anyways), and it happened to me in ESO as well, but I'm a grown woman and I know how to react to make them hitting the road again. A 12-year old does NOT know that.

Even a more harmless comment in chat like "wow, this dress looks sexy on you" (more in a funny way) would be a horrible thing for a 12-year old to hear or to read. I really don't want to be one of them telling her that, not knowing how old she is.

In any case, kids have nothing to do in a game like this.
Take care.

Let her get empress, then we'll talk

Pfft.... There is nothing to see in it. Like @Ultimate Joe77 said, if she is an empress of cyrodiil then its something to talk about.

PvE is very easy compared to PvP.

It's easy if you know what you're doing. My first playthrough was horrible.

Of course it is!!!
But in PvP it's going to be always your first!
You will never know when you will be ambushed or ganked or zerged.
That's why if she become an empress then its worth giving a praise.

I hope you know the emperor/empress title is very difficult to obtain. Just saying...

Dude, ANY title besides Master Wizard is difficult to obtain for me.

What a great little girl to be able to use her dexterity and mental abilities to beat that boss.Most kids dont have the concentration to do so.I dont know though.Maybe they do,and we just arent aware of it.
As to it being bad for her to play,..
If you are with her,why not.Ignore those who jump on you for her not being outside,or the game being too big for her.It is up to you to decide what your child does,..not them.

Congratulations!!

Yup, your rant is stupid. There is nothing in this game that she is not going to hear at school. Do you have kids? Probably not because someone with kids would know that to protect your child from everything means that they won't be prepared for anything. And yes, I have a son who is now 20, who has been gaming since he was 18months old and I never told him he couldn't play certain games. Blood, violence, gore, nothing has changed the good man that he has become.

No shame in finding something that you can enjoy together with your daughter...

In fact I applaud you for finding something you both enjoy.

It's too bad that most of the people responding have missed the point of you actually just being a proud papa.

I hope the two of you continue to enjoy your time in Tamriel


And BTW Grats

My son used to play a lot of BattleField Heroes when he was about 8, and he was damn good at it too.

I remember one time I caught him sitting in front of the computer in tears, and I asked him what the problem was. He told me he kept getting kicked from games for "hacking". So we had a nice chat about how all those losers would have their minds blown if they knew they'd just been owned by an eight year old, and that being kicked for hacking was actually the highest compliment you could get.

He still plays computer games today (he's 14 now), but not as much as he did. I truly believe that his reading ability was greatly helped by playing games like Titan Quest with me. It didn't take him long at all to realize that he needed to be able to read the stats on the gear he was finding...

I agree that children can hone their abilities with games.Which is why so many programs are out there to challenge them. Not only in their reading,but in their cognitive abilities,and their dexterity. Also helping them to zero in on movement,and hand eye coordination.

That's cute and all but could you put her to bed already? I wanted to farm some Tel Var but your daughter's been camping the DC entrance to the sewers and 1vAll my entire guild. She's a menace.
