great game, a masterpiece ...

So I wanted to make a long comment and I think it is quite "complete" to fully describe the game and there is very much to say. I announced at the outset that this is anything other than the known sites of video games, with their game testers (if you can call it that ...) which gives a note after a few hours of play for In short they do not even pass the test for their lvl 14 and I am still very nice, I do not want to ridicule ... after all it's their job, they are PRO with a capital P .. .

Again it depends on the tastes and colors, but for me there was really something. People who know the series of Elder Scrolls will be surely satisfied, even if we should not expect a 100% game in the style of Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind.

Anyway, the game is clearly a true Elder Scrolls and finally found the "mature" side of the series in a massively multiplayer game, something that greatly missing from the series or sometimes we felt a little lonely. Well now the game is alive and frankly it's much better like this.

Getting started:

- Have started with a superb cinematic almost 14minutes available on the net for those who have not seen since April 4, and we can see a second kinematic that complements very well the first, making us 19 minutes in total very stylish cinematic!

- The game is super nice for a MMORPG that's impressive ... smaller configs will run the game with the shadows at a minimum, reduce the quality of texture and light, etc. and will have a very big drop in FPS in cities that are often very crowded.

- The three factions:

- The Pact Ebonheart: consisting of Argonians, the Dark Elves (Dunmer) and Nordic. Special feature: the only faction or we can have snow mountain scenery, Nordic area. A volcanic area too. Upon reflection, this side of the game can be really friendly.

- The Alliance of Daguefilante: consisting of Bretons, Orcs (Orsimers) and Redguards. The buildings and decor are much more to my taste, really nice. The sets are sublime, filled with these, these forests, these streams are climate. Special trait: the desert and dunes Alik'r brighten and its super sandstorms damn good. Only here and there is access to a landscape with sand dunes, Redguards area in a Middle East style course, is in the South of my faction. Varied area, very nice.

- The Aldmeri Area: consisting of the High Elves (Altmer), the Wood Elves (Bosmer) and Khajiit. Building and bridge in the Elvish style, yet a beautiful backdrop for this faction and it could have been my choice. Special feature: trees everywhere, which bothers some retail players because the scenery does not change much.

- Overall, character classes are great and very fun to play as the first returns. I play rocket science, it's very powerful and it controls according to your desire ice, lightning, fire due to destruction stick of care through the healing stick and it consists of three main branches: black magic, invocation Daedric and calling the storm. I direct mine to a mixture of black magic skills / invocation Daedric / call of the storm, destroying stick / stick and healing vampire, but I could easily have me delirium "War Witch" and orient mainly on spells lightning and heavy armor for the combat. The choices are vast.

- All classes of magic, the dragon knight specialize with fire spells, at the skin it is served. You can tweak his character a bit like we want keeping to something coherent. So there are sorcerer heavy armor and sorcerers with a bow + = a kind of invocation hunter with his pet.

- The PVE (story mode) is frankly very nice, the scenery is beautiful, there is no other word ... After finishing the prologue, landed in the city and one begins to gather the first quests that we propel faster than what we could have imagined in the universe of the game.

Note the FPS drop which can be very annoying in town when there are many people, for small configs will slow it thoroughly. For me it is between 35 and 48 FPS city with many world with a qHD resolution of 2560x1440. (Actually no FPS drop, I told myself that there was something, the thermal paste was to replace my processor and suddenly everything is back in order.)

After the first time the prologue, you have the option to create a new character and choose not to do it again a second time. We then landed directly in the base city, but suddenly there is no longer the equipment is gathered in the prologue. Not very annoying, just start quests, it locks itself and found the equipment. The White Horse of the imperial edition is 1 MW, as saying give big saving early in the game and usable at level 1. Otherwise it is 17 000 MW and 42 000 in play for the last inch frame that has better base stats. Then you have to feed the daily frame to 50th days it will be lvl 50. You decide if you want to boost with speed, vigor or portaging (carrying 1 = a place more in the inventory). everyone does as he pleases, I put everything into gear with black dada who already has 20 basic force;)

The main frame is really nice lvl 1 to lvl 3 veteran (where I am), I also particularly liked the quests mages guilds with Sheogorath (the god of madness), super nice. Get to lvl 50, it automatically switches to the veteran lvl 1. At present there are 10 lvl veteran, but at the next big update (1.1) that will bring new high lvl area, then there will be 12 lvl veteran.

- PVP: This is huge, the menu is huge, the groups are huge battles are huge, the rave that is tapped are really huge ... We're in the Lord of the Rings, this is not a joke, there are groups of hundreds of riders and it's a small effect, it is believed it was thoroughly super awesome!
The attack forts or everyone comes artillery: ballista, catapult, trebuchet, Pot of boiling oil ...

With each character class, it is possible to assign specific roles, it is not unusual to see black blade camouflage ambushed and well prepared to lay a dirty trick on the first unfortunate who has not had to spend thereby :) Or see vampires with their ultimate area attack "bat cloud" do much damage to a group. Improved, this technique makes it invisible vampire and you can not see the bat, very disturbing for the enemy, but just huge play strategy, because that is a whole unit just finish the job after the vampire have sow disorder in the enemy ranks)
(The vampire was nerve, his ultimate attack was correct because some exploited a bug chained several times the bat out. The speed of the mist was lowered and can no longer use his second skill to RVR. Both the first correction bats was indispensable, as the other two are useless and destroyed the vampire gameplay and this is the beginning of the case ...

On the battlefield, sometimes it's 200 against 200 or even more and there it much lag, strongly mega-server in Europe.

And there was the Emperor, then it's when you kill for the first time, you get a well deserved achievement. A campaign pvp classified Cyrodiil lasts 90 days. At the end we make the accounts and the one that is first in the ranking becomes Emperor and get the emperor suit (there are different suits that can take over our equipment, it's just for the skin), and a new branch of ultra-powerful skills that will enable the lucky one to be truly above the lot and groups of players fight alone.

Some have complained that the emperor, werewolves and vampires, so that there is no yelling either, it is good, there is something for everyone and it makes a really nice side the game. I'll never be emperor, but I will not see an update for these powers down following complaints from the community. It would be anything, the kind of person who complains of this is simple, if the sheets have the game dies ...

There are 10 PVP campaigns: Campaign Chrysamère of Lamedor, Arc of Auriel, Vifespoir, of Aubéclat, Breeze Skull, Punishment, Sangrépine, Volendrung and Wabbajack. Only four campaigns running at the bottom: Arc of Auriel, Aubéclat, Sangrépine and Chrysamère.

- Dungeons: Not bad at all again, the "mature" style of the series is felt throughout Tamriel and dungeons are not sloppy at all. Four players max in a group and it is enough. Yes, there are those who will take a lot of pleasure, then you must not miss strats for the veteran mode, it does not forgive.

- Guilds: So, there are several types of guild, there are the special PVP, PVE other special, other that do both sides who are only shopping. It is in a trade guild you will sell your items in the equivalent of a sales hall simply called "guild shop." You can have up to 5 guilds per account if I'm not mistaken, and I recommend having two merchant guilds, which makes 30 per guild selling slots 60 and thus objects that are no longer in your inventory in bulk.

Guilds are mostly shielded, business guilds are all the time on 500 to 500 players and the smallest will have no trouble reaching that figure after a while (if things are done well with regular messages on the channel area). There PVE and PVP guilds that are already full, I think it is very "active", there really busy on this game ...

- Veteran level: So once you get lvl 50, you automatically switch veteran 1. It will then go into the veteran areas, accessible after completing the main plot of your faction. The veteran zones, the enemy camp. So we made the territory of the other two factions, it may seem odd, but it's not bad at all actually. I do not say more in spoiler for not by accident, but the experience is greatly slows gain. In a faction there are 5 zones, so 10 in total representing 10 veteran levels if you can see it like that. A complete area gave me a veteran level. Get to lvl 1 veteran, you can gain experience only in PVE zones veteran, PVP with Cyrodiil and veteran dungeons. Some regret the side "I spoil you the scenario of the other side" in veteran, but that is not to say that it will prevent them from doing another character in the opposing faction and have few very well take the xp only Cyrodiil. But there are crystal shards to pick up around the world, there are really a lot and take those of veteran area helps to add a lot of passive and active skills. 3 flashes = 1 skill point. Personally, one character is enough for me ...

- Loot (items found in the game). Each in its own loot, no theft or anything in this game In dungeons, some dark on safe, but bof what, craft stuff it in this game . And it does not manufacture in town, no no, you have to find special places to make armor sets, but that I let you find where;)

But there are sacred loot into play I assure you, just yesterday a fire stick epic (purple) very very cheat;)

- The Cat: So the cat is one English and two German. Otherwise just speak French on the cat and others you meet EN. This is due to the European mega-server, everyone on the same big server.

Ability to access a chat 100% French with less flood and selling gold, but the FR cat is very calm at this time, we have to expect that everyone knows how to use.

Click the cog in the chat window to access the settings of your tab and add the "ZONE - French" by checking the box.

In the game, press ";". to bring up the mouse and easier access to the chat window.

- The mega-server: it lag much, it's the US mega-server that is located in the USA. 150ms ping now. An official announcement confirms the future of mega-server arrive in Europe without giving a date. Normally be at the maximum wide console output end June Otherwise throughout Europe on the same big server, it gives a full play to crack, there's people everywhere, in all areas and all lvl. The starting area and filled the area as veteran ... In short, I had never seen a live set. With mega-server, there was no queue waiting to launch unlike other MMO that had not strong enough to have a number of correct server at launch.

- The contents of the Imperial Edition: A huge box, I usually do not buy the collector's editions, but here I am tempted and frankly it is rather correct contents, the box is really impressive, the statuette Molag of Bal (Daedric Prince of domination and enslavement and rape ... ...) that fits in his palm a little soldier slightly with the mess is superb. The book is not bad too, very big with a leather cover, or rather fake bake and French text with beautiful artwork. On the edge there are strips crosswise very fragile at first sight.

EDIT: The figurine is made of resin, but the quality of the painting is really bad, it peels off and it's been quickly just marks the finger contact is still hot ... It needs to get out and Climb very carefully, and ask not to be changed ... Me I have above brands and a piece of gold who retired.

Frankly, for me this game is excellent. But it is not free of bugs, there is still a lot, but it is not very annoying and is often the case during a launch of MMORPG.

EDIT: a lot of bugs already corrected, it goes very fast, the following team is frankly very pleasant.

- Registration, game registration and subscription packages: To Play you obviously save the code in the box provided on the official website The Elder Scrolls Online, and for those who have the imperial edition, you first entered the key the game and then the codes for the collector bonus. Then it asks you to select a subscription plan and a means of payment, common practice in MMORPG subscription. It will then follow the steps and you'll receive an email confirming you what everyone expects: your 30 free days are activated and it remains only to disable the subscription renewal. No money will be taken by cons, if you do not cancel the subscription in "my account" on the official website, then a sample will be taken under the 30-day games offered for the formula that you will chosen. Here are the subscription packages: the offer 30 days 12.99 a month, offering 90 days 11.99 a month and offer 180 days 10.99 a month.

I said that I ordered the game on another site. With Amazon I might not have had early access, it has happened with other game, then distrust.

In short, we arrive at something super interesting and very well done with this game, it promises. You have to see it to believe it and not see that with a lvl 8 and say it sucks I stop. A very promising content, really. Like all games, one likes or dislikes, then I think and I hope that many will enjoy. For my felt, it has nothing to do with the other MMO launch that never took off.

The dubbing of voices in French and all just copy, I have rarely seen such a vast game and as well translated. Full texts in French for books that are legion.

I add to all this the opportunity to become a werewolf or vampire if you are bitten by rare NPCs in the last area of ​​your faction. Otherwise, a player who was bitten and who has the necessary level and the passive skill, can bite another player and the infected once every 7 days.

I conclude with a summarizing "real" downer of the game:

- The EU mégaserveur is located in the USA and that lag far to RVR, but not in PVE. I thought there was a big problem with the lag, but summer is coming and apparently I am not alone in having to change the thermal paste CPU cooler or saw the erroneous comments I see here and elsewhere .. . The mega-server will happen in Europe, it's official, but when it's a different story. Normally the release of the game console in late June at the latest. (EDIT: Output pushed on console)

- Bugs, yes, there were quite a lot were corrected and it's always like that at the output of an mmo. Bugs there remain and will be corrected in turn. But how he could not be a frankly bug? It is impossible, the game is huge, it is huge and we can not thoroughly test this kind of game without thousands of players running around it to precisely identify defects. A mmorpg of this quality and maybe four or five times more complicated to do a solo game, as beautiful and great he (a coding story). No bugs blocked me in my progress and that's the most important thing to report.

Frankly this is the game that many people expected, it is not in a crappy launch of any MMO. The possibilities are vast, one can become vampire or werewolf part in epic battles genre Lord of the Rings in PvP, PvE is great the really great scripted, the craft trades is really not bad at all, all classes are fun to play, the dungeons are really nice, there's something for everyone, lots of animation "emotes" characters in play (for the dead is "/ holy";), brief ...

I never thought much like this game, especially with the critics that there is above. Now I realize that 80% of the reviews about this game's all just unfounded. Not to mention hundreds of false accounts that are created specifically for the game by laying down a note more negative on different websites. It's called "commercial attack" which necessarily comes from competition who feels threatened and will ask the boxes in Bangladesh or other countries ask hundreds of comments like this, divided over multiple sites and sales notation. You can check it yourself, its often create a user profile on the same day and poses only a single comment ... This phenomenon is particularly visible with the release of The Elder Scrolls Online.

The truth as I see it, with what I saw in play until lvl 3 veteran is that this game is a marvel with a huge potential for the future, all just ...

One of the best games I've played. The best MMORPG I've played.

And that's my last word, I assume fully and I am sure of myself;)

EDIT 30/05/2014: at first I was convinced that the problems I had summers linked to the LAG because of the US mega-server in the US and no, it was the thermal grease from the processor, j 'I had a smile on seeing on some forums that I was not the only ^^

In short, I log in and play there, the shock!

I thought back to some comments and I thought, wait, that's why he complain? Any lag in PVE and fluidity at the top as I had never had the whole game! And I said that I do not have the fiber, ADSL and I'm not the best throughput that is;)

In PVP / RVR, a little lag and there is more annoying, so strongly the mega-server in Europe.

In short, the city and the lags that I had to write, all that was wrong and I can enjoy the game. Still, we must also know the criticism and accepted the view of others.

In two or three months, we are going to hear about it the better, because the RVR is great and the raids came and this is only the beginning. The bugs are all fixed (I can not think of more personal).

To greatly improve the picture quality, I advice you to install sweetFX combined with pro Radeon (usable also with Nvidia cards) used to calibrate the colors and depth of image, amazing result and the whole is allowed by Bethesda / ZeniMax. Tutorials are available on the web and used for other games, the result is really stunning, no performance loss it only plays on the colors and the depth of field and black.
