See the video.They are appeasing to MMO players, while disregarding the hardcoe fans, the backbone which this series was built on.

...care to elaborate on specifically what they're 'appeasing' MMO players with. This is stuff that we kind of already knew.

No offense, but YongYea is so consistently wrong, and so often takes whatever random rumor he hears on reddit and acts like its fact, that I find it hard to take anything he says seriously.

Yeah I'm confused here also. Could you elaborate a bit more.

Also it's hard to just copy/paste the single player game and say, "Here you go it's online, so it's an MMO." Remember this isn't Skyrim with friends. So things have to be a bit different.

Soo many people that expect it to be exactly like any of the singleplayer tes games but with friends. heh.
Also so funny with all of the people asking if its coming for consoles..

That would contradict all the statments that I heard while waiting in line to play the game (While that may not be the official word as most are PR/Marketing people, what was made clear is that TESO is in fact an Elder Scrolls game first before its an MMO. From the videos they were showing and my own hands-on time, I can agree with the statement that is is very much an ESG first.

People need to realize that TESO is going to be an MMO but that does not mean the integrity of the game is in question. TOR is the perfect example of how a developer set out to make a great single-player game that happened to have many MMO elements added in. The class story in TOR is hands down the best of any MMO I have ever played, it was very immersive and each class having their own unique class stories was something that was huge for the game. While TESO will not have that kind of detail per-class what you do get is the lore, settings, some game mechanics, and feel of an Elder Scrolls game. What TOR lacked was solid PvP (Warzones aka battle grounds and they were very repetitive and got boring) and PvE content that was easy to blow through for our guild at least.

One person with one video cannot make such sweeping statements, though I will not discredit his opinion Some Elder Scrolls fans are scared that TESO will be an MMO first and just have some other elements sprinkled in to appease those fans. That is the complete opposite of from everything I have heard, as I have said. What people need to come to terms with though is that TESO is an MMO, that means it will have to have certain features and some things will need to get changed or modified to fit the genre of an MMO. What it does not mean is that it will be a "WoW clone" or that it is doomed to fail, or that it is Elder Scrolls with friends and all online (Though that is somewhat true on a very broad level as well).

Being able to loot what the enemy was using or wearing has been done in other MMO's and it is one of the things I like about TES games. But to random gen a loot drop from a mob is so not ES.

MMOs can be done for consoles, FFXIV (which is a MMO) will be available for PS3 and PC.

I suppose I should congratulate you for your excellent use on propaganda.

It's a shame they're not trying to make it for the next gens and at least attempting to play with the idea of having connected worlds in some fashion like Dust 514, which is an MMO for PS3 and PC relating to EO.

Also let's not forget about DCUO.

That's essentially what Bungie's next game "Destiny" is, and it's coming out for next-gen consoles. It's basically an MMOFPS.

It doesn't have to appease the SP hardcoe fans to be an Elder Scrolls game you idiot

I don't really understand what you're referring to anyway

None of that is confirmed. That's still rumors... though very much probably true. But it's still a rumor.

I'm already glued to PCs, though I suppose next-gen consoles could end up blowing us all away, technology really has improved.
