[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17736620/loremaster.png[/t] One day, Loremaster Lawrence Schick awakens in a horrible place... a hell... a hell that he has helped to create. Will he escape alive? Hell no I'm not going through the starting area again.

What's that on his chest?

If the server's having huge lag spikes, crashing and going down for maintenance in a closed beta, I can't imagine how they'll get it to support the stress of release. EDIT: wait nvm noones gonna be paying $15/mo for this shit

Also a Majority of ingame chat today, at least where I was, was supporting the game and its payment method, I couldn't stop laughing.

Would anyone happen to know if there's a precedent in TES for time travel? There's the whole "looking through time" spiel Skyrim had going on, but I'm thinking about actual time travel.

I'm trying to give it a chance but the most fun I've had was in the character editor [editline]24th November 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Sgt-NiallR;42971754]Would anyone happen to know if there's a precedent in TES for time travel?

Sure people are going to pay for this game but probably not for long and probably not many people. Even if they have till Spring to fix this game, i dont see it working. They need a ton of work.

So how do I explore places on the main landmass besides Cyrodiil?

I would maybe pay for this if they fix the leveling progression, add instances to certain areas, and other things. It has lots of potential, and if they listen to all of us from our feedback and bug reports, the game could be great. Also, for those who are playing, are you guys posting stuff on the beta forums and/or submitting bug reports in-game?

I'd say I enjoyed it more than vanilla Skyrim. When I think about how I'd rate the gameplay, I have to compare it to the previous games in my head, and honestly, I find it much more enjoyable than each three in some way or another, and worse in some ways or another. I find it hard to understand how people could enjoy the blandness of Skyrim, but find this more boring when I got tired of Skyrim after only a short time. [editline]24th November 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Altimor;42971832]So how do I explore places on the main landmass besides Cyrodiil?[/QUOTE] They prevent passage during the beta. You can't get to the other regions.

So what time does beta end?

[QUOTE=kr1f333;42971988]So when does beta officially end?[/QUOTE] tonight, 11:59 EST

I finally got Oblivion to be playable on Low graphics on my PC that I had to downgrade back to intergrated graphics. I have about 25-30 FPS indoors and out in the fields, and 15-20 FPS in town. I'm running it at 1024x768. [del]Gonna turn on OCO and see if my framerate dies.[/del] It didn't! I can play Oblivion again!

Has anyone been able to load into PvP?

So I've been playing Skyrim on expert settings where I barely invest into armor perks and health to get a difficulty I want without making everyone a damage sponge. Now 70% of the time I died is from those Insta kill animations because of such. I invest heavily into block so any regular attacks can be blocked. Attacks like these cannot be blocked.

[QUOTE=Frosty701;42973269]Has anyone been able to load into PvP?[/QUOTE] I've been having major trouble, my character was stuck in connection oblivion for several hours. Now I'm in but none of the assets besides terrain are loading. I can run through the unloaded buildings so the game must have clientsided movement. Can't wait to see all the bots that teleport between quest objectives. EDIT: Well I drowned trying to see if I could swim to the imperial city and now I'm back at the 5 year loading screen

I really want to see which side of the terrible/p. good debate I'm on but I cannot seem to get a beta key. If anyone gets a spare one I'd super appreciate it of course, but in the meantime can someone who doesn't care about the NDA say how the "floatiness" of combat is going? Like in some of the gameplay videos enemies were doing the typical MMO thing where they respond to a blow by a massive weapon about as much as they would to a poke with a broom :v:

There are no real reaction-based mechanics.

The combat needs some polish, but it's okay right now.

[QUOTE=Frosty701;42973848]The combat needs some polish, but it's okay right now.[/QUOTE] Pressing a few number keys and hitting LMB/RMB is not okay. I don't even get to dodge or aim projectiles.

[QUOTE=Altimor;42973868]Pressing a few number keys and hitting LMB/RMB is not okay. I don't even get to dodge or aim projectiles.[/QUOTE] What exactly is there for attacking then if LMB/RMB and pressing numbers is not enough?

[QUOTE=Frosty701;42973880]What exactly is there for attacking then if LMB/RMB and pressing numbers is not enough?[/QUOTE] It's just DPS rotation shit, the abilities don't interact in any interesting ways. At least as a level 10 sorcerer. Give me some abilities that I can mix effectively in multiple ways, maybe let me aim them.

Reinstalled Skyrim myself. Started grabbing mods I could remember off the top of my head only to find all sorts of interesting stuff that's come out during the year. Now I don't know which graphic overhauls/mods to go for that won't shoot my framerate.

The ESO survey is out. I recommend putting negative things on there so they can fix everything
