Except it doesnt make sense becuase it wouldnt work outside of a low number co-op game.

First person is basically a death sentant for a MMORPG becuase you cant see anything. PVP turns into a "who hides the best wins" insted of a "who is a better player wins".
Trying to warn people of traps would be difficult if not impossible without a mic.
The skill system would have to get a major overhaul just to even attempt to put it in the game.

You lack vision.

That's true for small scale, and you know what? That's how it should be, because that's how it is in real life too.

Now imagine full scale wars and invasions, a la Battle of Whiterun. Imagine team ups for PvE. Imagine arena matches.

This is why you coordinate your attacks. If you bumrush, you die. That's how RPGs work. If you don't like it, go back to Call of Duty. This is especially true with TES, where if you do that you don't need to be teamkilled - the NPC foes will kill you before the team can fire a shot.

ugh...... its hard enough to cordinate in third person games...... doing it in first person would be even harder.

Even with cordination having a 40 man team in first person would turn into a cluster**** pile real quick. there isnt enough field of view to plan properly.

Then here's a good question... why has no company worked on tools to make it easier to coordinate?

that is proveably untrue

According to the Game Informer scans the game has

-A limited skill bar, like in GW and GW2, so you cant have have like skillbars all over the screen with all of your skills on them like in WoW

-A Stamina mechanic that allows you to
--Sprint
--Block
--Interrupt
--Break some forms of paralysis
They say they are doing this to give players more self-responsibility to try to help break the trinity DPS/TANK/HEALER that other MMOs use. Quite similar to GW2 and its dodge mechanic that uses a stamina bar.

-Classes can combine skills, like a rouge's oil-slick and a mage's fireball can make a firewall. Again similar to GW2.

-Weapons determine your first two skills and you have a special finesse skill, similar to how GW2's weapons determine your attack skills and you have a dedicated elite skill.

-There is apparently no aggro mechanic. Monsters use combat tactics that a player would use, and dont just sit around waiting for someone to attack them.

-It has a hubless quest system, so no going to towns to load up on quests

-There is a form of fast travel, and the compass with map markers are in the game.

Count how many times I mentioned guild wars, then count how many times I mentioned WoW

Hmm, then it'd need to have some kind of reward system to encourage proper cooperation, while punishing Leeroy Jenkins types...

and TES are known for none of those, ES are known for REAL TIME COMBAT. Not the sissy mash button stuff. Player Housing joinging factions and being able to play what ever race you want anyway you want. I find it funny that a MMO is going to be more themepark and less sand box then the single player game.

did Bethseda even pay attention to what was going on. Did the developmnet team ever play a single TES Title.

that was probably the single most laughably bad gameplay I have ever seen in a MMO

everyone was running around like headless chickens.

Proves my point if anything

Actually they're dodging, something you don't have to do in an autotarget mmo. The game plays like an fps rather than an rpg

Perhaps not a report system, but perhaps some type of system that looks at team work, along with player ratings from the event?

Except Gw2 is based around dodge and has auto target.

And TEs Online's sprint/block/intterupt stamina system, which is highly copied from GW2, emulates the same effect.

If it doesn't play like TES and doesn't look like TES, it isn't TES.

It is, however, possible to look for trends. Someone who goes around negrepping people could get flagged for it by the computer, for example.

Also, it's good that GW2 is gonna try something like this. Let me know how it works out, since I think more than just MMOs can benefit from something like it.

Doesn't that still come down to "press a hotkey to auto-dodge/block/interrupt", even if dodge moves your character a few yards as an animation?

The computer cant really know if its intentional or if they are just a bad player.

Also from the GW2 beta the system works ok. Its not super awesome, but its still a beta.

Er, no. I'm talking about someone who is going around and giving the worst ratings in rapid succession to many people - this is a very big form of trolling. What a non-trolly person would likely do is likely to talk to the other person and give them some pointers so as to better work with the rep and assist systems. They'd get lower rep, but hopefully learn from it - and if not, then it'll show by an overwhelmingly low rep, causing people to reject them anyways.
