Anyone played/playing this?

Thinking about picking it up but am reading mixed reviews.

 

Would like to know what any huddlers think about it.

Don't know how much has changed, but the reason I haven't purchased the game yet is because from Alpha-Beta the early game was atrocious and extremely boring. The character classes leave a ton to be desired as do the skill trees for each said class. The world did feel good though, just everything else sucked. Combat is a mix of ES will a small amount of MMO styled hotbar attacks. I know they haven't fixed the classes till you hit level cap and there is still only 4 of them, not sure about the rest but doubt they have fixed any of it since they didn't listen to the outcrys of hate toward the tutorial, classes and hotbar/skill tree complaints during the closed alpha and beta.

I liked Skyrim and absolutely loved oblivion.

I was hoping they hadn't changed much in the way of gameplay.

​I played ESO when it came out on computer last year, it was bad back then.  It's nothing like skyrim/oblivion, it has an mmo rpg style game play or used to. The story line in the game is better than say something like WoW, but it's gameplay is way worse, atleast that's how it used to be.  I literally haven't played it in a year so I dunno how much they've changed it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Whats sad, is everyone kept tellibg them to scrap the combat, class system and tutorials for months. A year before release, they had plenty of time to fix it and never really touched those areas till well after release. Had so much potential, but the devs wanted a second coming of Dark age of camalot hence the pvp system and as far as I'm concerned they even failed at that.

Shoot though I must be crazy cause the reviews have been good-solid for the console versions....soo wtf do I know. Maybe you'll enjoy it, just don't expect skyrim type leveling till level 51+ cause you unlock the constellations system. It's similar to diablo 3's bonus Valor levels reward and buff wise.

I just picked it up, bit it has a 15gb update so I won't be playing til tomorrow prolly.

I never got into it because the combat is terrible for an MMO.  Let's be real, Skyrim combat system was terrible, but we didn't play it for that.  However, looking at an MMO, where you'll be doing SO much fighting, it's just too boring to handle.  

At this point, MMOs that are trying to charge monthly fees have to know it'll eventually change to F2p.  I wish they'd just do Guild Wars 2 way and sell the game at first, and then make money off non-p2w microtransactions, and then have big expansions maybe each year for 30 bucks or something.

Not sure why all the hate, I played it for quite a while from Beta as a sub, when you get a guild going and gear up some of the endgame is pretty solid. Especially the PVP, never seen anything on that scale before or since.

Gave it up for Archeage when our guild moved over. Had a pretty damn enjoyable couple of months on ESO before that though.

Yeah it's a little buggy but overall I like it.
