I never have luck on betas but hopefully I get picked. I really hope this game isn't a sub. I hope it's either F2P with microtransactions or a Guild Wars 2 model, buy it and play.

IF they do a sub, hope it's only like 5 bucks. $15 like WoW would be a turn off for me.

Nice trailer though, I wish they'd do a movie/TV like that lol.

I'd much prefer a sub payment model. With a sub payment model, the developers get a nice influx of cash, while developing huge patch updates that you don't have to pay for (much like WoW.)

However, I will have to say, I really do love the Guild Wars 2 model. If I were developing an MMO, especially one the size of TESO, I'd go that route. With some content locked behind microtransactions (see: Black Lion Chests), which gives the developing team money past the initial buy into the game, while also offering up cosmetic items that players are likely to buy. Also, when I play WoW, I feel like I have to play, since I'm paying for the time. With GW2, I feel like it's more of a play when I want, how I want type thing. I love that.

Right, feeling like you HAVE to play is a downside of sub. I don't think sub is viable anymore. We seen it fail with Star Wars, Secret World, LOTRO, DDO, DCU, etc. WoW can continue doing it because people are so invested in their characters they don't want to ditch them. Fact is, casual gaming market is where the money is, especially with a Elder Scrolls name behind the game. You want all the Skyrim and Oblivion fans to buy this, and if you charge sub, you'll miss out on a LARGE market. Even though there is usually justification for sub, most people just don't like it (casuals) and won't even try it. The money is in casuals now, and gaming companies know this.

bethesda can't even put out a finished single player game, this is gonna be like a mentally handicapped rapefest

Good thing they aren't making this game.

I think one of the people that is leading the effort is a guy who has experience with games like Dark Age of Camelot (I think).

But if Beshesda WAS making the game, it would definitely be bug central.

is it good? any advice?

I like it, the PVP is really nice. It's pretty well rounded from what I've played. I mean there's some issues but it's a beta, you'll experience some bugs.  Leveling's been a bit slow the last two times in, so expect to put some hours in if you want to hit PVP. It's pretty different from any MMO i've played so far, it's got a similar feel to it as DAoC and for good reason since it's pretty much the same leads that made DAoC. 

 

It's also similar to DAoC in that a large portion of the MMO and Elder Scroll crowd are not going to like the game very much, it's much more actiony then most MMO's and it doesn't have a large skill bar at the bottom. 

 

 

Advice, be patient with the game. Read the races,classes and skill trees and plan your build out so it's effective in PVP and PVE. If you want to join up, I'll definitely be playing a bit this weekend, I've already put in probably close to 30-40 hours in so far.

      I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
