    I would just look at what people have said about the alpha so far, most people seemed to have been impressed. I haven't really come across a negative review of that experience.

    They did say they were taking a lot from other MMO's, but I don't think that should have been taken so negatively. I mean the combat seems pretty unique and that's probably the most important aspect of an MMO... They just need to churn out a ton of content, especially endgame content, and make it interesting.

    I'm not overly optimistic about this game, but it's certainly the only MMO I'm interested in for 2013. It certainly seems less generic then XIV:ARR.

    Oh yeah, clicking to attack sounds like a fantastic idea for an mmo.

    Fascinating.
    Bethesda can't make an offline game without an absurdly large number of glitches, exploits and blatantly obvious recycled assets and they think they can actually make a MMORPG.
    It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

    They would be pretty awesome to make a game they are not really making.

    Again, instead of interjecting opinion based on nothing, take a look at what people who have actually played the game say. At least look up the combat mechanics before complaining, your comment is honestly just stupid.

    I don't know of many - if any - truly open-world games that don't reek of glitches and bugs these days. I consider GTA:SA, the last one to escape the glitch wagon.

The combat controls are also taken directly from previous TES titles. Clicking the left mouse button will swing your weapon, whereas holding it down will charge up a power attack and holding right-click will block incoming attacks.
    Been reading this thread from the start, been following what other people have said about it (because what video game journalists say about a major game is always totally trustworthy right?) and been watching the videos. The game sounds like an awful idea.

    Until real people who aren't being paid to write good things about the game get their hands on it (i.e. Open Beta or Closed Beta without an NDA), none of what has been said by anybody about this game means fuck all.

    You do realize the "2 pages back" quote is a direct quote from those "writers being paid to write good things", right? You know, people who've actually played the game whereas nobody here has? The same article that explains the combat system right under your out-of-context quote? Maybe you should read it (http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/10...crolls-online/). It's not glaringly positive, they do complain about the targeting mechanics and it's not like they were drooling over it like some were (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLp0ykvotEI), but these are people with hands on experience... Their opinions matter right now, yours and anyone else who hasn't played the game (including me) don't.

    If you don't like it, that's cool, move on... Your comment on clicking was just universally stupid though. If you want to complain about having only 5 hotkeys and how it'll lead to min/maxing cookiecutter builds, it's at least a more valid argument, but save that shit for beta. Otherwise moving a standard attack/power attack from the numpad to the mouse and giving the players an active blocking system is not a bad thing and it's there to make the game feel like a TES game.

    Yeah same. At least going in with very low expectations lets me either get blown away by a really good game or I get a good laugh of SWTOR 2.0. Being a realist has its advantages at least.

    Their opinions do not matter because they are being allowed to play the game to generate hype, which is exactly what they're doing and makes any of their observations on the quality of the game void.

    I fail to see how my quote is out of context. I read through the entire article again just to make sure I'm not blowing shit out of my ass. You click to attack, right click to block. I think clicking to attack is a bad idea for an mmo. How is that "universally stupid" and out of context? The blocking function is essentially the same thing as GW2's dodging, but with a slight twist. I don't see anything revolutionary here at all.

    Stop being butthurt because somebody made a sarcastic comment about a game you're looking forward to.

    Same here, although I signed up with my lolMac so we'll see if that makes a difference.

    Their opinions do matter because they played the game, honestly don't know why you don't understand that. They aren't Zenimax employees, they aren't paid by Zenimax, and a number of them weren't even writers... You're just reaching now. Sounds more like you're butthurt that you can't find much of any negative feedback for a game you're not interested in so you make up some bullshit about how clicking a mouse to attack is crazy. As I said before, it's okay if you're not interested in the game, nobody cares, just leave inane and silly assumptions at the door and move the fuck on.

    It's completely silly because how the fuck else do you want to attack in an MMO? Is hitting the "1" button for a standard attack so much different then clicking a mouse? Do you want auto-attack? Are you upset that you can't use the mouse to select a target or do whatever the fuck MMO's do with right-click? Seriously, it's just a stupid argument. You're still acting as if there aren't hotkeys and an "ultimate" to use in conjunction with the mouse...

    I'm not trying to champion this game, as I said before I'm not that optimistic about it or any MMO for that matter, but it's certainly worth waiting for the beta and seeing how it plays...
