South_of_Heaven✭✭✭It's a shame such mismanagement destroyed a beautiful game. But that was only what it was.4 -

✭✭✭What does that prove? Noone said it was a fake screenshot. Relax wait for ZOS to address it I say. Im not saying it is not true but also not saying it is true. If it was true why would they remove it?0 -

If it is legit,
b) if it does take 6 months to offer the intended experience, why do we have to pay for a product that's obviously sub standard by your own measures?
c) are PC gamers not considered fans and / or undeserving of a polished product?
d) can I swap my PC version for a PS4 version as I very much would like to experience the game how expected and deserve
If it's not,
e) do you really believe handling this affair with a no-comments on rumors approach will help the situation?
f) if it was a former employee, is there a round of lay-offs happening?
Thank for your time!
Since i cant give you more than one flag, i do this:
TRUE! AWESOME! INSIGHTFUL! I AGREE!2 -

Because they hadn't announced it yet. On the site they linked to a blog post about the delay which wasn't live yet. Hence, delete. They're also deleting all posts by customers on their Facebook page about it.

If anything it will be more limited than the PC version.
Because the xbox one version is a derived windows 8 version maybe?1 -

This is not true I was just reading the facebook page. This is all over it including about 40 diff screenshots of it before it was deleted. personally it looks like someone wrote it who didnt know what they were doing. Like I said calm down take a deep breath and wait for ZOS to address it.

I am calm. It is true, they deleted posts about it. I did not say all (it's also before 8am East Coast US time, where teh community managers work).Also I mean none of us are console customers anyways.
I have PC version and an XB1. I am not bothered by the delay - the PC version should have been delayed too.1 -

Proof positive there's no main quests broken, hanging at loading screens on PVP, bots, gold sellers, bugs etc.

smosti✭✭✭I play on PC, actually. And this game's problems aren't that bad and they've been doing a good job working to fix them. However, I do agree that the console gamers should be happy because they will get a polished game instead of what we got lol. Over exaggerations and ridiculous high amount of outrage over the PC version's issues, I must say.
Agreed2 -

Ive done all of the main questline. No problems. I have no problems loading into PVP nor do anyone I know of. 100s and 100s of people. Gold sellers are part of mmos. All of them have gold sellers. Also ALL games have bugs at launch. Even single player games.4 -

✭A capitalization error in a supposedly official (though prematurely released) FAQ entry makes me suspicious.This message confirms that you have successfully cancelled your subscription to The Elder Scrolls Online.

We're sad to see you go now, but we'll be happy to welcome you back at any time! Whenever you're ready to come back, your characters will be waiting for you, just like you left them. You can return anytime by resubscribing on the Manage Subscription page on your Elder Scrolls Online account.

Dayel✭✭✭Oh piffle, this is a normal MMO at release, the only thing unusual about it is the amount of effort that is being expanded to repair it fast. I would rather have 6 months of PC play and cope with some bugs, then to wait 1/2 a year and play it on my much less interesting console. I sincerely hope that a lot of the people posting in these forums never have a serious setback in their real lives.3 -
DarceiaSoul ShrivenThey are taking this game down for bug fixing maintenance more than any other game I've ever played. And while it can be annoying sometimes, I've never seen an MMO try to fix things this fast. SWTOR sure as heck didn't lol. I'm a console fan too, but I think the differences in build and gameplay has got to be different enough that it would be hard to compare the two. When a game crashes on my computer, I just reload it. When a game freezes up my Xbox or Playstation, I get more upset.1 -

One, they will not explain the leak, any employees involved, plans for staffing, or policy
Ever since the ability to patch, many games have been launching earlier, so investors can get their ROI faster, and the company can be more funded for fixing things, thus can fix the FASTER! the reason the consle game will need to be more polished is not for the players, but for compliance for xbox and playstation. Microsoft and sony DEMAND a product that meets their expectations. I personally would prefer to play now, that than wait over 8 months, counting the last month and the month until the original console launch. So thats why us PC players Pay now for a less than perfected game. We understand how this works and we want this game to succeed, and I for one gladly will pay to help this game get going. Multiplayer games have by far the hardest bugs to fix and the hardest time implementing them. So thank you Zeni for getting this game to us, and the free 40 days
and remember, with great games, comes great responsibly

From my very limited MMO experience this is true; there are bunches of issues but I can still play and have a good time and experience lots of stuff here. At this point in AgeOfConan I could NOT do ANYTHING because all the content was broken above my level and I wasn't a particularly high level and over-leveling screwed you up significantly. On the other hand if you put out $60-$100 you have a perfect right to feel entitled; I sure felt entitled and pissed at AoC at about this same juncture.Wow. Such non sense. There have been VERY FEW games (MMOs that is) that didn't have major issues; in many cases, worse than ESO's issues. People need to relax. The ridiculous entitled mentality of gamers today is worse than a game having bugs when it comes out.

If somebody managed to edit the text on elderscrollsonline.com to cause a hoax, they got hacked (which would be a bigger story).
Considering the console version was supposed to launch next month and there's no screenshots, no videos, no publicity - I think we all know it has been pushed back.0 -

How would it be a "bigger story" if someone managed to hack the text editor on the FAQ page? Also we dont know anything yet. I dont know why you seem to excited to believe this. Are you rooting for the game to fail or something?0 -

There is nothing about doom and gloom. You came to defend someone's post where that someone was letting people know this should be expected because other games had problems as well. That is reason and logic? People and companies learn from the mistakes of others usually. Moreso, this is the game we care about, not a different one. You can't justify the quality of a product by relating it to the quality of another. Who cares if others are worse?

KudnaBeefhooked✭✭✭The only game that was worse than ESO on release was FF14 which was truly horrendous. At least there is hope for ESO. It's a good game (marred by many bugs, crashes,etc), but with a little love could be truly great.0 -
