hey did anyone else play the Elder Scrolls online Beta? Just talk about your experience and how you all enjoyed or hated it.

It was alright. at first I was kinda bored of the gameplay wise. when I hit enemies it never felt like I hit enemies until they die. They just fall on the ground when their health bar is empty.

The later missions were more entertaining in the higher levels. It did get a lot more fun when I started to do things with a group of people. The dungeons really forced me to team up in a group to beat the bosses. Never managed to get to PvP since I was not level 10 yet. I was so close but the beta closed. Heard its the best part of the beta.

I got to lvl 10 with 2 characters, but didn't get to go to Tamriel since it was offline that beta-session... -.-'
the shadowblade (?) was the most fun class (tried mage, templar and shadowblade) since it was all about tactics and engaging correctly; If you went head on with 3 mobs, you risked your life but if you sneaked up behind them you could easily kill 2 in about 1 second then finish off the third one...

I like the game, shame it'll be a ''monthly pay''-game since i don't play those (it's just riddiculous how expensive it is to play continously for a year or two)

if they turn the game into a one-time payment like GW2 i'll most likely buy it.

I disliked the ESO beta personally, there wasn't much to do without constant crashes and the like. Though it was a .. Decent? replica of some older games I liked. TYhe biggest issue i have with it is the subscription =/

my game never crashed except for one session when the servers went down.

this necro wont last as the subject is outdated (ESO beta testing is over) though

I always have trouble with the subscriptions myself, it being what keeps my from playing many MMO's I'd enjoy wanting to play... but the ESO beta was okay I suppose... I didn't get the same intense feel I did with Skyrim back when I played it though, not sure what the difference was.
