Concerning the arrival of ESO

I believe I remember reading somewhere that ESO would be announced before the end of this year, but I can't find where I read that and I don't remember. I don't believe they have announced a release date yet, and even though the impatient gamer in me wants them to just hurry up and release it, the disappointed-and-tired-of-the-same-rehashed-game-over-and-over player wants them to take a while and make certain it is an extremely high quality game.

 

Can anyone with more information confirm whether the game will be released this year or not? Does anyone know more details and specifics? *Looks at Fog, hoping he knows something he can tell us.*

Target date is q4 2013. However its tenative and with the gaming industry xlimate atm they might be smart to wait to q2 2014 and make sure its as close to flawless as poaaible at launch..

I agree with Fog, probably Q2 of 2014. They have the means and opportunity to polish it as much as possible before its released, since they don't have one of the Evil Empires pressuring them to push the product out before its ready. They'll really have to get the mass combat system right at release, or they'll suffer the fate of Warhammer. The server architecture will most likely be the easiest part, so the hard part will be in making sure that the average client computer has the power to run RvR at acceptable settings. I think ArenaNet just opened the door with their latest client quality settings system, so they might adopt and improve on that. I would.

I am hoping for a good, polished game that matches the best release so far (none have been perfect) and to have it in my stocking from Santa on Christmas. :) But the "good, polished game" is the most important.

I would much rather they wait for Q2 of next year and hand off a "Rift"-level of polished game instead of cramming it in this year. Considering though ZM is revealing a playable version to the public at GamesCon, this year, I worry they might be getting a bit of pressure from the publishers to push it out earlier than that.

When a game is released, depends a lot on the economic climate, project costs and other financial factors that the public isn't privy to. These games are businesses first, they're supposed to make money, so they have to weigh a lot of factors to decide when its best to release their game. A lot are learning from the mistakes of those that came before: that they cannot release incomplete games and expect to do well, because they will lose player confidence and struggle uphill to regain it, but sometimes they just don't have a choice. I don't expect that to be the case with TESO, it seems like they have some deep pockets behind them (like RIFT did) but I don't know the players or who will be deciding when its ready to release. GamesCon will be a toe-dip, so we'll see what prelim reviews come out from that.

The difference between rift and eso is that eso is self funded. Rift was vc funded.

I was not aware of that Fog. That's a pretty darned important snippet of information that gives me a little more confidence in the product.

Here is hoping. I need more dynamic play and progression to keep me. My attention span keeps growing less and less with MMOs of late. I don't know if its me or the product.

I'm actually with you, Cliff. Games don't seem to grab me for as long or something. I actually think it has to do with the amount of content and the fact I play more steadily than I did before. And lately I have had timing issues with getting into guild events which I like, but I have other things I'm doing evenings with church and Pathfinder campaigns I'm in. I'm down to Thursday and Saturday's free, but something I get doing something and lose track of time by the evenings. ::chuckles:: I'm keeping an eye on ESO though because it has a lot of things I hope to see pan out on a level I haven't seen in a game in a long time.

Don't mess with Mama Bear, I might hug you too tight. =D

ESO has a lot of potential from what I've read so far. I'm really interested in seeing what these dimensional anchors are for starters, if they are dynamic like the Rifts in Rift: Planes of Telara and there are zone event type invasions, then we are off to a really great start. The random nature of those events were far more replayable than the dynamic events in GW2. I've seen a few of the skill trees posted on the offical forums now too and I really like what they are doing with the armour and weapon skill trees, I can't wait to see more info on this.

The Elder scrolls have been some of my most fav games. I loved Morrowind! Some of the best storylines in recent games, imo.
