Well, a month in and I am nowhere near on the content but have had some fun.
Now for some things that seem odd to me, having never played WoW, SOTR or whatever so i'll just pop them down in case anybody is reading these.
1. Start - When I start the game I have 3 screens of logo's inflicted on me every time I want on. So I want to play the game and I am stopped and they kindly show me a logo of an entity that is stopping me. Every time.
2. Doors - they seem to have a regular issue opening doors, frustrating. In fact it can be any interaction where you end up repeatedly clicking to try and get it.
3. Hanging - Spinning logo of doom - you get a load screen and then just get treated to the music looping.
4. Local chat is amazingly clunky. you'd be better with windows for each zone, guild etc. they are not intuitive or easy to use.
5. pets is town - if you are in a pacified area the default should be no_pets. Cuts down on load and stops all the sorcerors cluttering the place up.
The biggie is payment system, and it not working but I posted that elsewhere.
So in all it's a good game
well done

HandofBane✭✭✭✭Most of the rest of that isn't really something that can be helped with, but on point 1 - go to your /Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/usersettings.txt
In that file, scroll down til you see the line: SET SkipPregameVideos "0"
Change the 0 to a 1, and you will never have to worry about those little startup screens again.Edited by HandofBane on June 9, 2014 4:17PM7 -
Brutalis✭✭Some of these are system related meaning something is on you rig is configured in way that ESO doesn't like your pc or you or it simply cant handle it. But i could be wrong.
Logos typically can be skipped pressin "esc" key on your keyboard. You may already do this.
Doors yea annoying especially in heavily populated areas like Davons Watch Bank.
You can customize the chat window in-game and there are addons you can get that allow you to customize it further.Edited by Brutalis on June 9, 2014 4:20PMA Roman walks into a bar and hold up two fingers and says, "I'll have five beers please."0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Disable intro movies.
Open your UserSettings.txt file in My Documents and change the "SET SkipPregameVideos" value to 1.
No more videos while loading the game.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver
