[Ayiu]

Update:
Bethesda has officially announced the Imperial Edition for The Elder Scrolls Online. The Imperial Edition will be available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One in extremely limited quantity? through participating retailers for $99.99 (?99.99 EUR/?89.99 GBP/$ 139.95 AUD).

Original Story:
Bethesda has yet to officially announce a collector's edition for?The Elder Scrolls Online but a user on the Amazon video games forum spotted a very peculiar image attached to the Dishonored GOTY store listing. The image shows a collector's edition called?Imperial Edition for the?highly anticipated MMO, The Elder Scrolls Online. This was obviously a mistake and the photos have now been taken down but the image appears real enough.

The image features the following content for the Imperial Edition of The Elder Scrolls Online:


Physical Content

Collector's Edition Box

Steelbook Packaging

Molag Bal Statue - A collectible 12" statue featuring Molag Bal, Daedric Prince of domination and enslavement

Map of Tamriel - A printed map detailing alliance-controlled zones and the ultimate conquest: Cyrodiil

Emperor's Guide to Tamriel - A 224-page illustrated guide annotated by the Imperial scholar, Flaccus Terentius



Digital Content

Play as an Imperial for any alliance - Appears to be the only way to play as an imperial

White Imperial Horse

Mudcrab vanity Pet

Rings of Mara

its a good value ce, the only thing that gripes is they should give 90 days not 30


compared to skyrim though good value

I think this is far overpriced (especially in europe), not sure if A4 artbook, only 12" statue, common digital trash = 60eur, 80e MAX!!

when it ships

also how i see price breakdown

game 20gbp (as it is a sub game)

1 month access and digi items 15 gbp

artbook 15gbp looks high end stuff

statue 25 gbp

steelbook 10 gbp

map 5 gbp


so 90 gbp seems fair

[AWildSnorlax]

Compared to the Skyrim CE this is a great deal. Well worth 90 in my opinion.

I'm happy with the price especially after the skyrim ce. There are much more editions out there for 100 euro who not offer half as much.

Also I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the monthly fee. I can't remember people moaning about WoW.

CE is good priced but the subscription model for MMO's has been on the decline for 5 years or so. It doesn't make sense in this day and age.

WOW is going to go FTP at some point. It's subs are slipping like mad the last 2 or 3 years. And this ain't going to be WOW

My opinion of course

sub models are aimed at people like germy

people looking for diversionary tactics when they have to study and have nothing else to do but roll in plushies and eat haribo

I agree. WOW is a great game and the subscription model worked great for it. Not so much for any other MMO though. Off the top of my head both star wars galaxies and SWTOR either shut down or went FTP from a subscription model. It's an old system that people don't care for anymore

They are still charging for FF XI and XIV, don't they?

Played FF XIV when it came out for pc and it was awful, more like a beta and not even worth the money for the game itself.

I'll be happy to pay a fee for ESO if it means stable servers, a smoothly gameplay and especially a full game, not some FTP crap where you have to spend 5 bucks every time you want to talk to a npc in order to move on with the game. But this is just my opinion.

lol I actually consider the subscription model to result in a better game almost always. My point was simply that the industry as a whole is clearly moving away from the subscription model and with how ESO is likely to perform financially [considering its astronomically high cost (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=743992)] we're unlikely to see any further large scale MMO's by big publishers like with EA's SWTOR and Bethesda's ESO. ESO has been in development for years, before WOW started its decline

[Vlad]

This is a really dumb question but it's been ages since I've used Game and the site has changed a lot since then, do they still wait until release before they charge you?

Just on their checkout for example it says "Pay Now" at the final ordering stage.

I think they charge like 0.99 cents on order and charge the rest after. That was last I purchased from GAME

They finally put up the PC version listing. Sadly only shipped to US at the moment and it is cheaper for me to get locally. Second time a CE is almost same price in Australia.

pc-version will be mine ^,..,^

Subscription + shopmodel for custom items or pets is the best way i guess. As long as there are no pay2win items.

But look at RiotGames they make a bunch of money just for skins .... that ezreal cyberthing hit 1million in ...uh...duno anymore a week? on the first day? sth like that...

[flatout]

I like the CE but I am going to have to wait on this... simply because the subscription fee is just stupid.

Also I guarantee it will only take roughly a year (if longer not much longer) for it to be forced to go free to play. So within a couple years, and by then there will be tons of fixes and more end game content.

[singer07]

now that the price is known at $99 for the imperial edition, what are peoples thoughts on it being worth it? i think at 99 its a good deal considering what you get.

[giantqtipz]

Lots of negative impressions of the beta... Understandable its a beta, but the gameplau seems generic...

[Letrico]

Not sure about NDA but I felt the beginning plays like single player elder scrolls. Skills are improved version of guild wars 2 with skills based on weapon equipped but require skill points and skills can be morphed

Seems like GAME UK still have stock for imperial edition

[KnightOfTruth]

I really do like the price for this CE, but only if it wasn't subscription based. I just don't have the time to play games too often, and so I refuse to pay for something I won't play but occasionally.

My final decision is still on the fence right now about this...

Also wish the statue was something cooler, like a hero character. Not a big fan of creepy looking statues cluttering my shelves too often haha :)

I'm keeping my CE sealed so subscription does not bother me :)

For those that want a copy. It seems like Amazon have more in stock now. Probably cancelled some people that buy 50-100 copies of them and now limit to 1 per order.

For just the PC right? Didn't see any next-gen console versions available.

All versions seem to be ready to pre-order for me on Amazon. I would either get the PS4 or PC download versions.

But from the previews I have seen from people playing the BETA most people do not have great things to say about it.

Playing the BETA right now... feels empty. It is like a very low budget Skyrim. Voice acting is about on par though.


Sadly feels too much like an MMORPG now... probably gets better in the end game but I have never had enough patience with MMOs to get to the end game stuff where everyone says all MMOss get fun. Th only MMO feeling game I ever like was Kingdoms of Amalur but I suspect because it was still only a single player RPG rather then an MMO. Plus the physical world was more realized then then ESO.

[narg]

True, i give beta 2h, game is really bad, take all Skyrim fails and put it in mmo, total disaster. And wants monthly fee for this, LOL. This game is like Skyrim with coop, but take only all wrong things from Skyrim and put it online, i cant recommend it for anybady here :/ GW2 is still BEST mmo so far.

I agree... just not very good. It does not succeed as a ES game nor an MMO really.


Yeah I want to try GW2 at some point... have heard good things and have seen good things. Love the art work and style of the game.

Really I just now have a PC I can play games on so now i am waiting for another free to try week.

[wAngelo]

Pretty sure the game will go F2P or Buy 2 Pay soon enough.

Ill wait to see if the price of their physcals drops as I've cancelled my pre order after playing this weekend beta, really wanted it to be good but it just bored me shitless, basically a bad Skyrim port to the MMO genre.

[narg]

I am not sure, but it looks like they take Skyrim engine and modify it for mmo, but its 3y old game and mmo novadays are lightyears away :/ and i am not sure, if this game can live only from Skyrim fans... Succesfull mmo needs around 500k + players for flawless running, age of conan have i think about 100k? and slowly dying, APB die at 25k, so i dont think there is 500k PAYING Skyrim fans.

I doubt it is the Skyrim engine. I am no developer but I would suspect they built and entirely new engine for this since it is a completely different style game (MMORPG as opposed to SPRPG).

There will be an initial surge of players at first... but if it does not get better then what I saw after a few hours of playing then it will bleed players rapidly.

[GeraintWilliams]

I can't help but feel that all the negativity surrounding ESO on this board is a bit misplaced.

From the point of view of someone who has thoroughly enjoyed the TES series since Morrowind, I can honestly say that ESO has met my expectations and I'm really having a great time with it!

There's differences yes but I think people are jumping on the bandwagon after one or two hours of playing a beta or even watching some videos on youtube. Plus, based on the way that the devs over at Zenimax Online Studios have been responding to the fanbase during this late stage of development, they really do want to put out the game that people want. There's been so many changes and enhancements over the course of the last 3 betas that anyone who has got a predetermined opinion on the game based off what they saw months ago should really consider holding their judgement until they've experienced it.

Will it go F2P? There's always that possibility because I don't think the MMO market is as lucrative as it used to be so only time will tell. But for the moment, I think they're on the right path with it. The PvE is great, the PvP is great, it looks fantastic and it plays extremeley smoothly.

You may be right for some people. But I can say everything I have said about the game is true... at least for me and others.

There will be a lot who like it and a lot who do not. But I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it is not worth $60 + $15 a month to play, again for me. And I think it is not for the "average" TES fan also.

We will have to wait and reserve final judgement on the overall game when it is released... but I will not be jumping on board. I am very interested to see how low or high the review scores are.

[GeraintWilliams]

Yeah, you're right in saying that it's not for everyone but then again, there is no game that is for everyone. The price tag is normal. Even if you play this game for 1 month (first month is inclusive of the retai price), you're still paying the same amount you would for any AAA title and if you're even somewhat interested in the ES series then you're likely to get your moneys worth.

There's not many massive releases that will hold attention for more than 1 month. Granted there's the FPS crowd that play for thousands of hours but that's a different beast all together.

I'll admit that I've been taken by the game for a while and that I'm probably biased towards it. That said, I'm also interested to see how the reviews go. I've got a feeling that they're going to be slow burning because of the negative press it's had previously but it has been impressing more and more people as time goes by and I think the vast majority of people are starting to see its potential now that there's been a bit more openess around it. But like you said, it's not for everyone and that's totally fine!

[flatout]

I agree there is potential... there always was with a IP as engrossing as TES. But I felt it was not capitalized on, really my gripe is it feels a little empty and is too far towards MMOs. I would call it a watered down verison of TES... but that is simply my take on it.

Like I have said it may open up and get way better in the "end game content" that MMO players always talk about. I have never had the patience or the time to ever get into an MMO to get to that content people say is so good at the end.


I have to disagree with you way of thinking of the price... MMOs are literately made to be a very long term time investment and a month should not be enough time to play and get bored of it. Just my understanding of MMOs.

Another beta keys giveaway:
http://www.vg247.com/2014/03/11/the-elder-scrolls-online-weve-got-1000-beta-keys-to-giveaway/

[Cosmic_Link]

$15 a month to play

Is that correct? 0.0 I've already said to myself that if it is more than 5GBP a month or unless it has a discounted annual sub, I won't be paying after the first month. I'll be playing it on XB1, so let's weigh up.

$15 = ~10GBP
XBL = 5GBP p/m
or
40GBP p/y = 3.30GBP p/m

I pay XBL yearly, so I'll be paying nearly 15GBP a month extra just to play this game after originally paying 90GBP for the CE.

Do I look like a mug!? >.< It needs to be F2P pretty soon to keep me interested.

[Sylfaris]

guys FYI(= For Your Information @ flatout :D) the first Month in an MMO by buying CE or regular version is always for free. One month seems fairly enough to play troh the singleplayer (One of 3 sides).

Then you can decide to play or not. I will still buy it, i will still play it. And if i like it i pay if not ... then who cares :)

Who does not know what FYI means?


Yeah the first month for the first buyer may be free as usual... but if this MMO can be beaten in a month then what is the point of a subscription MMO?

So they should have never even bothered making the game because we can all play and beat it during the first free month and then no one will subscribe?

I suppose if someone had tons of free time they could do just that, but a normal person working a normal job would not have the time... I should rephrase "should not have the time".

Well more and more MMOss are getting dman easly all the time yxou can surely reach max lvl in that time with 1 character... in 1 fraction. Even with a job ... probably not with a wife :D:D

Nope... but i remember another member in the "random thoughts" thread saying something like that but I assumed he was kidding.

I know I could not get to max level in that time personally.... well with most MMOs anyways. This may be shorter then most though.



EDIT... found who said it:

How am I supposed to read all of these...
nvm, my responses:
I have instagram account :)
I'm not going to be fat. Some europian food tastes like crap but only if I cook it.
metaplaks are green and stinky
going to london in few months
I though FYI means something like fuck you indeed/internationaly/incredibily or something
France is awesome, just the language is crap. I'm learning it for 3 years and only can say Voulez vous coucher avec moi which I learned from south park. Although my english isnt that bad so the problem is somewhere else

You make a great point Sylf - with the "free" 1 month play, you'd get to experience much of what the game has to offer I'd imagine, even just playing for ~10hrs or so that month (which is probably a high estimation on my part). Many of the CEs I purchase don't even get THAT much gameplay (or at least haven't yet). If you like the CE I suppose it'll just be one of those that sits on a shelf somewhere. And if they do eventually go F2P then you've already got a nice CE and can jump on board :) I still wish they had a better statue though... :-/

This is exactly my thinking! Yes MMO's are usually a long term investment but if you compare it to the hours within the first month you are playing, to something like the new South Park game, then I really don't see why people are so anti-subscription model. That game is ?40 to buy now and I would love someone to tell me that they've put more than say 20 hours into it (and I believe even that's pushing it).

I know that there are exceptions to this but any game that can keep people occupied for longer than a month is worth paying for. People can throw around examples like Guild Wars 2, Battlefield series or even DayZ but I don't think that those games are backed up by the fact that there is a dedicated software house building on just this one game and they need to be paid if you're going to keep getting quality updates.

If people aren't willing to pay the monthly fee then that's fine and the model is just not for you. That doesn't mean that this is destined to go F2P. I just don't understand the hate on it.

I'd also like to clarify that my statement about the other development studios is based on the fact that NCsoft, Dice and Bohemia are all great and large studios but they work on so many games at once, cutting the post-launch development to a minimum.

Yeah, I'm aware that you get a free month to play, but after that, I highly doubt I'll be paying the fee. Tbh though, I was finished with Skyrim in less than a month, so hopefully will be able to blitz through this quick enough to avoid paying the fee., :P

Well...just some more info....

This CE will be sooooooo highly limited!!!!

I just have mine, and my friend told that the ps4 run for this CE for ALL Spain is......50!!!!!!!!

Totally insane...glad got mine... :whew:

So if you really want it, run for it before it's too late!!!

Yeah the statues were around 30,000 I think.

No over all I believe... but of coarse we cannot know that for sure.

Yes it is on the bottom of the statue.. someone posted a pic in the Titanfall thread. Similar to the Kingdoms of Amalur Statue.

[Vikingo82]

Yeah mate, they should have numbered the Elder Scroll CE as it will have a very short run in the EU...it's almost sold out evewrywhere...at least the ps4 CE...

Titanfall is 35000 for both systems...and yes, statue is numbered at the bottom...

[KnightOfTruth]

Well, I've been rather wishy-washy on this whole MMO deal thing, but I think I'll keep my pre-order with Amazon for this CE. If it is as limited run as it seems, it'll be nice to have or to sell for a bit of a profit down the road. If the game crashes horribly, at least it'll be a neat relic with a decent steelbook ;)

[KnightOfTruth]

Hadn't seen this posted anywhere, but this looks really cool! A bit much at $100, but definitely one of the best looking "guide sets" I've seen. Might just have to get this guide set - limited to 10,000 worldwide though seems like a large print run.

I will start off admitting this post is out of frustration.


I got a message saying I was re-invited to the BETA and I had not gotten around to deleting the 30 GB install that i had so I figure what the hell.

At this point you can assume i am not thinking I should have just passed on the invite. The new update made the game (for me laggy when yo try to do something like combat or move fast). This was not even close to an issue before. So a game that was already frustrating and borderline boring to play became just impossible to play.


I am going to avoid this game from now on like the plague. I am certain it will be a little better on console where you can use a controller. Oh yeah... no controller support on PC, I mean really? What year is it? I thought this was Zenimax and not Bioware.

Anyways short part is I quickly closed it and deleted it from my computer. I feel much better now.

[Sylfaris]

your HDD will be with you my friend.

I won't play the game untill gold-status and the early access. Betas mostly kill your ambitions to play any mmo.

What ever now will happen I gonna play a Darkelv named Sylfaris may be we'll see on battlefield or not :x

In skyrim and Oblivion I always chose Dalk Elf.

Actually in all honestly I found out the stuttering was not due to the game. It was due to windows 8.1. I had to downgrade my OS and l lose everything I had. I backed up most of it but save game files for a couple games I could not find ;(


But eve so the game is still painfully boring for me and I am so glad i deleted it.


BTW... I updated to 8.1 just to play Project Spark, to find that 8.1 and games do not mix at all. Ahhh, the irony.

So just realized something -- is the XB1/PS4 version not being released until 6/30/14?? All the stuff I've read up to this point seemed to say it was coming out on 4/4/14, but I just checked on Amazon and attempted to add a standard XB1 version to see release date and it said 6/30/14... :think:

It is being released on PC first and few months later released for consoles.

Yeah, guess I was figuring it'd be nice to get in April since there's not a lot of other releases at this time. Oh well, guess that'll mean maybe I can save a few dollars on the CE Guide as it'll be out with PC Release or so. I'm sure they won't sell out before the console release. :)

Yeah I heard! >.< That's really expensive IMO, especially since they're charging the same price as a normal game to get it in the first place. Also, to get your free 30 days, you need to pay your first subscription fee upfront and the the free 30 days will be added to that... :S

The price is actually not bad for monthly fee. I know other mom that charge more than that with lesser content.

You actually don't get charged to get the free playtime. It was a pre authorize payment method. Its the same as what star wars old republic did last time. No money is taken until the start of subscription.

[narg]

Btw any1 know, if exist any page, where i can find, how much people are really playing this game (or mno as type of game)? Any official data?
