PVP
I haven’t had the opportunity to participate in PvP the last couple of betas, however I can honestly say it is incredibly enjoyable. I don’t have any PvP screenshots to share either but the battle are huge and intense. There are quests to do in Cyrodiil in addition to battling the other factions.
PvP is a viable alternative to leveling via questing but that is something I will skip. You can enter PvP at level 10 and begin your quest to become Emperor.
The Rest
The game isn’t perfect, but then again it is still in beta and I expect to discover and report bugs. I have stumbled across and reported more than a couple and I’m fine with that. Unlike the so-called “professional” reviewers who gave every impression that the game was all but unplayable. That being said I have not run across any bug that was game breaking or that has caused me to rethink the purchase of collector editions.
I have a wish list, like most players, but nothing on my wish list is so earth shatteringly important to me that it will prevent me from playing and loving the game. Sure, I’m love a cosmetic armor slot and armor dyes but I won’t find my game diminished if they aren’t included.
I don’t have problems with the combat either. I don’t get all of the complaints that the combat is “floaty” or fails to connect to the enemy. I’ve experienced none of that. If I push a button, the game always responded in a timely manner as expected. I love being a Dragon Knight wielding a restoration staff while effortlessly killing enemies or my heavy plate wearing, damage over time Nightblade battle mage with duel daggers of doom.
Classes are more of a starting point then anything else. Oh the complaints and moans from alleged healers that tried to heal standing back and standing still. Let’s be clear, that healing style doesn’t work in this game and hallelujah for that. Healing is mostly area of effect based and in melee ranged. It is a blast to play to be honest. Mages are incredibly powerful and again a blast to play. Bow skills are fun and overpowered. Healing on my Nightblade is fun and a breeze. To be honest, healing isn’t complicated or magicka intensive if you think and understand that standing back and healing is the path to failure.
The game is so immersive and challenging that it has brought out my inner role player that I didn’t know existed. No I won’t be roleplaying in game, but I will definitely be chronicling my characters adventures and exploits. I’ve got the blog space reserved already (just not set-up yet) and now I just need the ability to reserve character names to get started. It’s a journey I can’t wait to begin!
So, ignore the negative reviewers who don’t know what they are talking about. Journey to Nirn and discover what Molag Bal has planned and experience Elder Scrolls Online for yourself and decide.
