I pre-ordered with 25% off. How long until April???

Crap, so if I'm going to play on console, I'm going to have to pick up one of the new gens?

I'm assuming you are going to have to role a new toon? No imports?

[The Yancey]

Everything will be new.

Pre-purchased today. I hope I get a beta invite soon.

Just pre-ordered the Imperial Version from Amazon. Also saw where it was #10 on the Best Sellers list. That's really good for a PC game.

Also read that by last August ESO had over 3 million Beta applications. So I wonder how many they are up to now.

I decided not to go with Imperial. I played an Imp in Skyrim but I just don't like being the bad guy. The pre-order bonus pack on the regular edition will serve me well.

The only reason I did was because I had a gift card. Maybe I will be able to sell some Imperial style armor at the beginning of game to earn some quick gold lol.

It's been confirmed that XBOX Live will still require the sub cost on top of ESO sub. However, Sony has waived the sub cost for ESO and will not charge anything to play the game on the PS4.

The Elder Scrolls Online on PS4: Your Questions Answered

Will playing online with The Elder Scrolls Online have a separate subscription compared to PlayStation Plus? — @NathanaelMoner



A PlayStation Plus membership is not required to play The Elder Scrolls Online. PS4 players will only be required to pay the same monthly subscription associated with The Elder Scrolls Online that PC and Mac users will pay—nothing more.

Another Beta test this weekend. Hell yeah. We get to keep our character progression this time, so we get to go to some higher content now.

I have one higher level toon but I have mostly just been playing around with character creation. I want to have the right stats out of the box come 4-4. I've played all 3 of the opening areas now too. What are you playing?

[Cockadoo]

Im playing a wood elf, got to level 15 I think. Was just finishing the island I started on.

I don't understand the bethesda argument about it being on consoles and trying to get PS and X1 to not require gold or psn. Are they under the impression that people would buy the console and not purchase the live functioning and would simply just purchase it for ESO and be content with paying the subscription fee? I understand they may not have planned for it to be on console, but it just sounds strange to me, being a console-only player, to have a subscription tacked on to Live rather than being included.

The reason I'm really frustrated is because I want more Elder Scrolls, I'm not necessarily interested in the Online factor, though it is cool. I don't think bethesda is purposefully making it seem unclear, to me, the situation sounds like a scenario in which that one person you don't like(the consoles) was around when you invited everyone else to go somewhere, but you felt obligated to invite them. It just seems weird to me.

Well the thing about it is there's a subscription fee for everyone..PC, console, etc. This pays for the ESO's upkeep, servers, add-ons, expansions, paychecks, everything. But then you have PSN and LIVE that require their own seperate fees to operate, whereas the PC doesn't have this. So that is why you have the two, they are not inclusive of each other but totally separate. PSN and LIVE do not pay for ESO's expenses or costs to run the game. I'm assuming since Sony is the one that requested ESO to go to console, they waived the PSN fee. Microsoft has said they will not waive the fee for LIVE but you know how they change policies in an instant when Sony does something. So one can not expect the PC users to pay so that everyone on the console can play for free. Console users are more-than-likely paying for PSN and LIVE whether they play ESO or not. The console users should write MS and tell them to layoff the LIVE fee.

Oh well, I broke down and ordered a PS4 last night, so I could get in on this.

Ouch man kind of not what I was expecting. Hopefully you can respec the characters like Bethesda said they would try to do earlier in the gaming process. Question is the 4 classes like a special on top of the normal skills that have been in recent games?, or will Templars not be able to cast fire spells, or ice spells that a destruction caster can cast?
