The Elder Scrolls Megathread XV: A Song of Ice and Draugr - Games

Hey, we got another video from Novajam introducing Hellspire 2: Electric Boogaloo. [video=youtube;LS_8LvzxOIY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS_8LvzxOIY[/video]

Can someone upload their Bethesda.net_Launcher into a .zip

The download of ESO, in contrary to my expectations, has finished even before the server went live. It would have been downloaded yesterday if not for the fact that the shitty launcher actually needed not 30, but at least 35 (I think) GB of free space. It resulted with an error and despite freeing up more space I had to redownload everything again (!) because apparently it was unable to detect already installed stuff. Yeah, this totally wasn't a sign not to get involved in this. So I set it to download once again and today, when I had ~2GB left, the power and internet connection went out. This one wasn't a sign either. And now, I'm sitting here, waiting for precisely 4 more hours to see if all this effort was worth it.

Would #Thalmorwinning and #tesforever not be completely incompatible, since one destroys the universe?

The ESO NDA up for players today or just the press?

I just managed to log in and get to the character creation screen. So I guess the test server is up already.

Doing dagger fall if anyone wants to join up. I'm a white red guard lol. Also is anyone stuck at the requesting character load screen? [editline]7th February 2014[/editline] is there a facepunch eso group?

[QUOTE=redBadger;43823124]Also is anyone stuck at the requesting character load screen?[/QUOTE] In my case it took about 30 seconds.

Today is Creation Kit's and my skyrim modding career's 2nd birthday. So I'm going to celebrate it by streaming a lot on my twitch: [url]www.twitch.tv/wheeze202[/url] I'll be working on Luftahraan, the big skyrim project started right here on facepunch

I played for 1 hourish in the ESO beta. Quite boring, and it doesn't feel like an elder scroll game for me, no fluid combat and such.

Is it taking a really long time to load into the main game for anyone else? After the tutorial shit

I know who the nervariene is! [sp]It's the main character in Morrowind![/sp]

I'm still trying to load my character from the last beta. [editline]7th February 2014[/editline] Ok the NDA for players is still in effect, but they've removed the e-mail overlay from the game.

It's not loading the main game for me. I've beaten the tutorial but after going through the portal I'm stuck endlessly loading

Did somebody say #ThalmorWinning? [t]http://i.imgur.com/vBjkYNZ.png[/t]

[QUOTE=redBadger;43823666]Is it taking a really long time to load into the main game for anyone else? After the tutorial shit[/QUOTE] Still waiting for my character to be created. I've been sitting here for 10 minutes "Requesting character load" [editline]7th February 2014[/editline] Nevermind literally right when I posted this it finished.

Why is Dongguard such bullshit?

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;43823904]Yeah, the dick physics on mine aren't even working properly either. Mod author hasn't said anything about it yet.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, HDT physics are in development!

I still think if they have a NDA during a basicly public beta, the game has to be fucking horrible, at least just WoW clone #534234, this time with FIRST PERSON!

I can't play this fucking shit. Server doesn't like either my ISP or router cause everyone keeps lagwarping and freezing and I can't do anything.

I feel like the server is going down now

[QUOTE=SouthParkMGT;43824253]I can't play this fucking shit. Server doesn't like either my ISP or router cause everyone keeps lagwarping and freezing and I can't do anything.[/QUOTE] Did you set your region to Europe? It defaulted to America for me for some reason.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;43824554]Did you set your region to Europe? It defaulted to America for me for some reason.[/QUOTE] Did that, also added ESO exe to firewall's exceptions. Doesn't help.
