Everyone's heard about. But are you gonna get it? anyone beta testers?

So far no one is happy with the proposed business structure:

$60 outright purchase + $15 a month subscription + restricted access to classes, alliance/teams and armour (requires Collector's Edition or pre-order only)

Personally, I think subscription is easiest/best. then you can apply discounts for extended membership etc. Or make it outright price, will purchasable extras (mainly cosmetic) to keep money coming in.

This is almost tempting me to break my MMO virginity and try it out when its released. Looks pretty good, could be fun. I think Bethesda have some tricks up their sleeve for the release copy.

Haven't been in the beta, but everything I have read so far from people who are in the beta says its a fairly generic mmo, not really worth the money. And having an entire race behind a paywall (Imperial race is only for people who buy the collectors edition) is bullshit for a game with a purchase price + monthly sub.

I've been following it since it was announced, every new announcement I want it less and less.

this thinking (as it is very common amongst everyone) makes me think Bethesda will do something drastic to boost hype and try to gather people to the game for at least 12 months.

Surely the cocaine bucket is big enough for them to stall release while they try to make the game better in general.

I played a few hours of it on Saturday during the beta weekend, was going to play it some more on Sunday but just cbf. I don't really know why but I just couldn't get into it at all. Maybe if it had come out before Skyrim I would have thought it was amazing and all that, but as things are i just found the whole experience a bit meh.

Not interested one bit. If i was interested in playing an MMO (and paying for it at that) i would play wow. So many companies have tried to compete with blizzard and they have all fallen short.

And unfortunately Bethesda will be the next in line to do the same thing.

Takes a hell of a game for me to pay full retail these days

that because unless you become obsessed, you dont get much game anymore.

Currently replaying Hidden & Dangerous 2 because its good. will get into Death To Spies soon.

but yes, keen for opinion on Elders Online.

I've played all the betas and early access. Currently level 15 Sorc.

Dungeons

You can start Dungeons at level 12(?) but they're not your typical WoW dungeon. You have to search for your own group and enter the dungeon together (It's fairly easy, but as always finding a healer is a nightmare). Dungeons are not as adds intensive but a bit hard as each add has it's own opinion about you, in other words if you start attacking an add, he won't like it and start attacking you back.

WoW Vs ESO

You can't really enter ESO with a WoW mindset as it is quite a different game. A sorc can spec to heavy armour and a tank can spec to heals. What you decide to do with your character is what you get. Out of most MMO's I've played, WoW, AION, RO, SWTOR, LOTR..ESO out does all of them... the only competitor would be WoW.

PVP

PVP is like battlegrounds in WoW and it's HUGE! ! ! ! ! You get around 300+ players to one realm and there are about 12 to choose from. The more castles you get the more ingame buffs you get. PVP is 24/7.

Population

ESO is not lacking players AT ALL, it is extremely popular and going to the most remote place, you'll find others close by. This helps with questing and such.

Quests:

The game is heavily based on questing for leveling but if you prefer to grind through monsters than it's not too bad (AION would be a harder game to grind in if you've played it).

My opinion?

ESO is the closest game to take down WoW imo; this means taking the player base from WoW where WoW eventually dies off and ESO takes over. I didn't really play WoW all to much, I wasn't a fan of the game. But from the comments coming from Elitist WoW players, they're ready to make the switch.

still a lot of negativity surrounding the price.

can get basic PC copy for $60AUD which is supposed to last 60 days, then its $15USD a month from then on. 90 day subscription works out to be $14 a month, 180 day; $13. So even cheapest option for a 12 month subscription (after game purchase) is not going to be under $150. not including any possible DLC or micro transactions you may want.

pretty f**king steep. but they wont do a special for a few months since its so popular at the moment. theyll make all their development money back quickly, and once they figure out how much maintenance expenditure is and how much profit is leftover... they might start giving things back to the community.

Played about 3 hours last night.

Its good but lacks immersion. So far feels rather generic and procedural.

If im honest the combat system is fair f**ked. Why can I be melee attacked from 30 yards by a guy with a knife? I can see it being addictive later on but at this stage I have 5-6 quests that I cannot complete without being gangked 2minutes in.

To make it fun another player or two is needed on quests.

Player base is good if I'm being mobbed most people in the area will come help but the ai guards are retarded

Initial impression is that yhey skipped all the opening stuff that hooked you into skyrim and dropped you into a blaze' story line that is too quick to develop.

More play time needed to see if it is worth 90 bucks

Rosie - whats your user name? I'll add you

    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
