No I am only mad when you make statements that contradict publicly available information. And given that WoW is such a stigma I believe that can count as an outright buzzword, no? And I don't know if I like the game seeing as how I haven't played it. But I defended it because you slandered it, attacking it with false information. That happens too much on the internet. And that does irk me. I don't mind you not liking it. But please make sure that you are referring to "it" and not some strawman. That was why I responded. Principle. Even on the internetz, there should be some common courtesy. And one aspect is doing your due diligence before slamming something (equating something with a stigma-tainted game and then declaring it will fade into the void of obscurity is a slam)

Except for the part where ESO seems to be avoiding a lot of that. As far as I have seen there is no chat in the HUD. Also, using the phasing technology will keep the obnoxious crowds away. Not sure if those methods will work as well as they should, but if they do it would be great.

Elder Scrolls Online looks like crap tbh. Very bland and generic and nothing at all like an Elder Scrolls game. I haven't been following this game very much and when I saw the leaked gameplay video the other day I was shocked. It looks absolutely horrible!

In your terms it is a "slam". In my terms it is common sense. Apart of that, your accusation of slamming is based purely on your interpretation. For all you know, "WoW-Orc" doesn't actually have to be a pejorative term. I simply may gathered a similarity in the art design of ESO compared to already established mmo-franchises, which I don't happen to like. And it's not even the only one. That doesn't mean, that it's bad in a general sense. Hence the "doesn't work for me". As for the baby ogrim.. - well, I seem to be not the only one who sees this. So it's more of an observation, either. We'll eventually see who's right about the "void of irrelevance" part, once it gets free to play. Oh, sorry - once that remarkably different game will rule the market big time of course! But in the end, you are just really defending a game and it's still pathetic. On a side note. How is it, that everytime I read the attempts of an internet warrior to come along as eloquent, the term "strawman" is at least mentioned once as an accusation of falsely used dialogic logic? Where did I use anything as a strawman in my "argument"? Wait, where did I anything else than defending my opinion? Are we arguing about rhetorics right now or are you just picking up things because you don't like what I said?

"Bah! The design in ESO is nothing like an Elder Scrolls game should have!"

And still isnt, absolutely. But its not just about the design, it is everything in general. This is not Elder scrolls. Its a random Mmo with the lore of it.

Zenimax, go to hell. Im sorry.

Is very Impressive however, although the Elder Scrolls Online is very good (Details and etc.) the downside being "if only they put as much effort into Skyrim as they did the online elderscrolls.

For all the complaints here, the game is still in production so it is still a bit early to say if you really hate the game and it sucks without even trying it out in the first place

it might be but what we already know  is for  a lot of the fans very dissapointing

Do we still remember the sceptism the industry had when they first anounced ESO , well that didn't go away contrary  even became more sceptical as more information came available

 

If people want to assume that the game will be awesome  because it has  The elder scrolls stamped on it than let them dream on , ESO  will bring nothing new  on the MMO market  since everything they are using   already exsisted and they only bought the licence for it , the game developers  calling it open ended  even tho  you have to ask yourself what open end if you  are  restricting the players  to one faction  only depending on your  race and when 2/3 of the map is actually off limit to you  not even a End game  so you basicly stuck endlessly grinding  dungons after dungons , with no storyline or purpose what so ever , , wait  you said to become emperor ,or atleast to make someone emperor ,  ok and what is in it for me ??  nothing  and lets  be honest  i have no onterest what so ever to make some metagamer who is most likely a 30 year old dude who is living in his mother  basement and divides his time vetween playing games and watching porn

 and when  you are stucked with  predetermined classes , yes they said they might change it but obvious they didn't , and now we   going to get stuck with 4 predictable classes ,  the tank the mage, the healer and the rogue  each with their own very predictable playstyles

probably fall flat on its face in 6 months and go into maintance mode in a year ,

 

the fans  asked  for years to develop TES in a multiplayer game were they and a few friends could enjoy  tamriel  they certainly  never asked that they turned a failed MMO concept into TES
