So the 5 day and 3 day headstart is now both well under way, who's playing and what do you think ?

 

PErsonally I'm anjoying it a lot, or well I was untill yesterday when I got a message I was booted from server and since then my userid has not been recognized(all indications from other people who experienced the same is that our accounts got suspended even though communications from zenimax and the CSR is non existant, and so far all of the people who have experience the issue reported gold spammers the day before...).

 

Anyway, the game looks great, it plays great, some people complain about broken quests so far I haven't experienced this except for one, which is the frog race. For it's graphics it also has really good performance. because of people I play with I also play on the US server and there hasn't really been any issues with lag or anything. The megaservers work exceptionally well and while they could have learnt a bit more from Funcom on it, they work more than well enough. one of the smoothest MMO launches so far, but I guess we'll have to see what happens on the 4/4, and well besides the fact I can't play the game since their report system inadvertantly banned me .... which is kind of annoying at the moment.

 

The current 10 hour maintenance with no ETA yet would probably have irritated me a whole lot more if I hadn't already been unable to play since 24 hours before that :)

To bad GW2 looks like GW2 though. the graphical style and gameplay are neither anything I like. It's got way to much asian inspiration on the faces/models and armors. Also this thread isn't about GW2 so ;)

 

Screenshots also don't portray the looks very well

I am a huge Elder Scrolls fan. I was in the beta. I will not be buying this game and paying the subsequent subscription fees. The fact that this is an MMO, with a bunch of dudes jumping around like morons completely ruins the immersion for me. Sticking with single player for now.

It's not really like that though. but the world is a lot more alive. and the fact it's p2p and not f2p cuts the moron factor by about 99%

    • Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is expanding its footprint into the classroom with a new suite of AI-powered study and teaching tools for Microsoft 365 Education. Rather than pushing these features as premium add-ons, the company is rolling out many core features at no additional cost to existing customers. The update brings new tools such as 'Copilot Notebooks' and 'Study and Learn Agents' into Microsoft's Education suite. Copilot Notebooks is essentially an AI-powered workspace where students can ground answers with their own learning materials, similar to Google's NotebookLM. The study and learning agents would allow students to learn concepts more visually, along with interactive practices and real-time feedback. For the last few years, educational institutions have struggled to implement practical guardrails for the usage of large language models. The new tools from Microsoft are a push towards providing those guardrails natively within the apps that the students and teachers already use every day. For teachers, the new 'Unit Plans' within the dedicated 'Teach' agent would allow them to rapidly generate structured curriculum frameworks grounded in established learning science, cutting down hours of preliminary lesson planning. Microsoft is also introducing 'Learning Groups' in Assignments that would help educators automatically categorize students based on performance data. With 'Learning Zones', teachers can then tailor assignments to different comprehension levels. It should be noted that Microsoft is making Learning Zone accessible for a one-year trial across all Windows 11 devices, while quietly incentivizing school districts to upgrade their legacy hardware and lock further into the Windows ecosystem. Of course, Microsoft is doing this as part of a broader ambition. Just last year, the company made waves when it brought its 365 Copilot to the education sector for $18 a month, introducing premium tiers with standalone conversational agents. However, gating all AI features behind a per-user subscription left a massive gap of students without access to official, school-sanctioned AI tools. Now that the features are inside the base Microsoft 365 Education suite for free, the company is effectively subsidizing the AI training of its next generation of power users. Microsoft’s own data, released alongside these tools in its 2026 AI in Education Report, indicates that while over 90% of students are using AI, nearly 80% lack formal training. Lastly, Microsoft is also expanding its "Elevate for Educators" training program, developed in partnership with organizations like ISTE and ASCD. This ensures that the teachers tasked with policing and guiding this new technology actually understand how to use it themselves.

      Nah. It has/had it's quirks that are either usual for every Windows version or a non-issue, like its easily bypassable requirements, raw launch state, broken updates and inclusion of AI, but past that, it's received tons of improvements especially in the last couple years, and we're now looking forward to 26H2 and the K2 program with a ton of QoL improvements, so it's clearly upwards.
