The Elder Scrolls Online Beta

[Trunks]

Well after playing in the stress test, it's pretty much set in stone that I'm going to be wasting my life away on it once it comes out. Though it definitely tested my stress levels, the first hour was all loading screens and the game not doing what it was supposed to do. Once I got out of the tutorial, which should have taken 10 minutes instead of an hour with 3 game restarts, the game was really smooth. I was actually running 60 FPS with 100+ people in the same room as me with everything on max.

Some things a little different from most MMO's, you have the option of joining 5 guilds at a time. Meaning you can have a guild with your friends, PvP, PvE, ect all at the same time.

The Combat system is interactive, you can charge up for Power attacks which have the potential of knocking down your opponent, block attacks if you have a shield which also interrupts casting spells, but they all require stanima. You can also dash in any direction to dodge your opponents attacks. So PvP is going to be awesome in this game.

atm, they only have 3 races all under 1 faction, but it looks like they have 3 factions, with 3 races each. Each race has about 4-6 classes to pick from.

All I can think of right now, I feel like I didn't get to do a lot lol, 3 hours wasn't enough especially when an hour of it was trying not to punch my computer screen. After the little tutorial thing, I was surprised how everything ran really smooth with no lag, not sure how many stress testers were on, but the room was filled with people. Which was kind of funny, because we got every to do /dance which made me laugh pretty hard. Game definitely has the potential to be really awesome though. I couldn't really find anything I was upset with yet.
