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%

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
