TESO Console Launch Pushed Back 6 Months

mutharex✭✭✭✭✭All the game's blindered fans can defend all they wantWhat is it with you people?
You rave about how awful the game is, about how nobody likes it, but then you simultaneously go on about how anybody who DOES like it is a "blind fan" or "fanboi".
Is it so difficult to think that perhaps people can enjoy something that you don't, without them being an insipid neanderthal as well?
Is your ego so large, that you walk into a restaurant and announce that anybody who likes anchovies on their pizza is a blind buffoon, because you dislike anchovies?
Amen. The problem is that these people pretend of wanting to improve the game (apparently despite all fanbois efforts to keep the game back) but all they do is say that the game is crap, ZoS is a bunch of thieves, no one plays it blah blah
I invite anyone to check the TESO section of MMORPG.COM forums to see why these people post this stuff, there are people creating new accounts daily because they get banned for their furious explosion of hate. When they gave a positive review of TESO the board went nuts. People just can't accept that they aren't the center of the world -
Spryt✭✭Not sure why anyone playing on PC would care about delay. Why would anyone want to move from PC to console?
Conole is basically a low to mid range spec PC. How are the big battles going to run on console? Will it even run at true 1080p @ 60 fps?
Also you can't use any mods and have to pay extra money to Microsoft don't you?
I just stream the game from my PC to my TV and connect a wireless Xbox controller. Basically turns it into a super console. Very nice for slack questsing on sofa if you have a big TV. -

Knovah✭✭✭lowered price on the game for pc now makes sense ( or a happy coincidence).. with the twenty dollar transfer cost and another free month of service they come out pretty good…
nice to see a game company do this

The "lowered" cost is only on the physical standard edition. If you want imperial or digital you must still pay full price. once these boxes are gone they are gone. -

I'm just pissed cus they've now basically said all you console people don't get the pre order bonuses and all the things like any race in any alliance etc this way... so they better find a way to fix that if they want me to not cancel all together

This game has plenty of bugs. Fixing them now rather than after a console release is probably a good thing. Honestly though...I am just as happy it is PC only now. No offense to the consoles (which I also have and play) but more people on the servers will make more issues.
However whoever they have in charge of PR and the release of info probably needs replaced because these things aren't being handled to mitigate damages.
PS4 and Xbox One will both have exclusive servers.
OK, thank you but I stand by what else I said.

Keffertjes✭✭I will be laughing if they tottaly destroy the console project xD
1.get the pre orderd console players to pc before they cancel pre order Make false promises.(get in the money while we can)
2.Delay the console release a bit longer to 8-9 months since they said we gonna need *ATLEAST* 6 months.
3.you got ripped off. Console aint coming due to not enough players to keep servers alive.
How i see it Console and PC/MAC are in the same boat if the one sinks the other one wil shortly follow. Only it aint gonna sink its gonna float lol

I paid 99.99 at game stop for my imperial all the bells and whistles with explorers pack at gamestop...for pc
My Bf could care less about the figures and all the shiny extras he wants to play and was waiting for console . ( I wont let him touch my pc ).
I got off work an hour ago stopped by gamestop picked up a copy for 39.99 off the shelf... 40 bucks.. he will transfer for another 20 .. total cost to him 60.
and he gets two months free game time.. one now one when he transfers. a 30 dollar value..
I think he made out pretty good... and he seems happy till they release it on his system. That is all that matters
oh and I gave him an explorers pack code ( I picked up a few copies when they had them on shelves for friends who were coming back from over seas as I stated awhile back in another thread) but that costs is on me I gave him the code.

You're welcome. I think we should also get compensated for all our QA work, assuming we hang for the entire six months. Like severance. If we stay for the entire time, we get the console game for free. Sounds like a fair deal to me.
-
Thesiren✭✭✭It wouldn't surprise me to see them cancelled altogether later on. However, they really should fix the "chevron-teaming" issue and the bots, not to mention add at least a faction-based auction house, before they launch the PS4 and XBoxOne versions of ESO.
After all, console players aren't even going to realize there's a $15 a month fee, never mind want to pay it with the way the game is now. -

Well you can get it for 12 pounds if I understood the deal. And move your characters for free

Thesiren✭✭✭Yes, the console versions of ESO have been put off for six months for sure. Here's the official article link off the launcher: http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/news/post/2014/05/08/eso-on-consoles--update?ref=rss
You can get the console version of ESO for $20 if you're a PC player by the end of this June, plus you can transfer your character over and get a month of play free besides. That's a sweet deal.
They should let PC players copy their characters to the console versions for beta testing, whenever that will be ready.Edited by Thesiren on May 8, 2014 8:53PM -

I send out a hearty "LOL" to everyone saying I was trolling or that it was faked. -
Selstad✭✭✭✭People are really desperate to find something - anything - to bash ESO about. Not sure why, if it's boredom or masochism but, if you're such a "hater" of ESO, why play and be around it? Why not move on and find something else to do?
I think they handled this very nicely from a game company perspective. Many other companies wouldn't even lift a finger to even try to get a compensation out for this, yet Zenimax is actually stretching out much farther than they needed to, just to make their costumers satisfied.
I'm also a bit annoyed that people claim that we are paying to beta test this game, no one made you come along, you got over 1 month of free time to decide whether or not you wanted to stay along, if you expect an MMO - any MMO - to be 100% bug free with 100% functionality and 0 errors or problems, well, you better get your MMO diaper changed because there's bound to be more brown mess in there, kiddo. Every gamer that's around and have been around both MMO and game releases at all know the risk of doing so. There are always bound to be problems in the first couple of months of an MMOs lifetime, heck, some MMOs I've played have had the same problems for years without a fix. That's the risk of staying around a release MMO, if you don't want to take that risk, don't pay for it, don't even play it. But there's no right either to complain and say that Zenimax makes us pay for their beta testing.
Now I might be wrong, and there are some nifty hiding places in my apartment, but I have yet to see any Zenimax employer standing around here with a gun against my head, forcing me to pay and play. Of course, the conspiracy theorist might suggest that a Zenimax employer is in fact doing that right now and force me to write what I just wrote .... They do please help me I iomasdkaw3+02934098u45 ......
Sorry about that, everything is fine, this is TOTALLY not a Zenimax employer writing this and there certainly are not any bodies to hide. Who said anything about bodies? You can't prove anything! ...... -

I wouldn't be surprised at all... They're losing massive numbers right now alone, there's no way that they will be getting enough players on the consoles to cover the costs of running it.
I see a port cancel, a f2p announcement, and the rollout of some weird pay-to-access cash shop in the very near future.Edited by Vivec on May 8, 2014 10:43PM -
LarZen✭✭✭It's a nice that they are giving people the option to transfer their PC characters to the console version. But I want the console experience from the start...I want to enjoy it the way I like. And that is not inn front of a keyboard & mouse.
So a nice thing but I'll just wait six months or so. Got loads of games out and coming for the PS4 to keep me busy for a long long time

Just curious where you get your "facts" about massive amounts of people leaving? please do not say the forums here. There are only about 30,000 posts total for the entire thing. Even if every single one was a quit posts thats hardly massive considering they sold about 1.5 million copies.

Funny how you're saying the word "fact" when you throw out a random number like 1.5 million with no proof to back it up...
You see it in the reviews, on guilds forms and websites, here on the forums, in-game with people leaving and complaining. This game is crashing harder than SWTOR did, and you have some serious rose tint going on if you don't see that.
