Nope. Installed twice, also tried the repair tool that comes with the launcher to verify the installation files. Twice per install I've checked and on different days.

Do you have some unallocated space on your HDD you could install Win7 and the game on... Try duel booting just to see if you can get ESO to work on your rig...

pftt I see more action in guild wars 2 than this! :P


that's a 6 minute clip you troll-not a all encompassing video of everything that is possible in this game. Unfortunately I was not recording during any of the massive keep wars I was in. I did participate in a AvAvA that had about 500 players involved. 100 defending the castle(my side, ebonheart) 300 attacking from the disposed faction(the dominion), and the 3rd faction(daggerfall cov) with 100 people flanking the attacking 300 from behind.

The game does have the potential for 667 vs 667 vs 667 battle, however with the importance of holding and taking supply routes/outposts/bridges/farms/mines/mills/minor castles, it is unlikely to ever have the whole cyrodil population in one fight, all at once.

No, not trying to troll, but I don't see what makes ESO so special tho, what new idea did they bring to the table? Castle wars have always been around, even back in the days with mmo like Dragonraja, RO or even lineage 2.

Those players number are impressive tho, but like you said, the chance of all of them fighting all at once is very unlikely. Even if you get all of those players fighting, it's probably going be a lag fest and unplayable. I saw those siege weapon getting built instantly by 1 player, looks pretty OP.

i agree with you, many titles in the past have had great ideas. the difference with this is that its huge title and will have the massive player base to make it work.

I do not agree with Hinouchi. Although there are other games with siege warfare in their pvp, I have never seen a game that links 40+ objectives in one zone, with a three way alliance battle.

and as 47 said, this is the first mainstream title with a massive player base to have fully customizable character skill-tree's. You don't see Battle-Mage-Healer-Archers running around WoW/GW2/Aion.

Did I forget to mention that this game allows you to take over and be crowned emperor of your PvP-Campaign?

edit: its more like 75+ objectives, and yes, even holding the small farms and road ways matter greatly for your factions success over all.

Planetside 2 did this already. Actually, the more I think about it, the more ESO looks like Planetside 2, except it's pre-medieval themed instead of futuristic.

There's many P2P mmorpg with big name like Starwars are failing and have to go with f2p model with micro transaction. So that's why I don't see how ESO will survive with P2P, with nothing that stands out beside their name.

Well it's a 667 vs 667 vs 667 castle siege, so I'm not surprised that they need a map with 75+ objective in it.

Guild wars 2, 4 Zone, 79 objective combine, 3 way server war. They just added a new map, but the score doesn't count toward the war.

3 classes roll, so are you a full healer/archer/mage? or a master of none? Guild war 1 have 2 class, and this other mmo I used to play have class reborn, you can be like a Mage/Warrior/Archer, but whatever you reborn your class last, that will be your main, but you gets some skills carry over from your previous class.

I'm not sure what's this crowned emperor thingy is, so no comment. XD
