I just want to resub and play a bit because I suspect the game will be unplayable for the first month or two after going F2P. Servers will probably crash under the load of people trying to get in on a TES game.

Well the nice thing with TESO is its one large cluster. So its a lot easier to manage the load, but adding more server nodes. There might be an initial issue, but will be sorted quickly. I always found their setup very stable, I don't remember any issues.
 
It's pretty much the same as what I remember. I think. I haven't played in almost a year so I can't remember what it used to be like.

I'm playing a Sorc and want to spec for healing now. We'll see how it goes. So far it doesn't feel like the class 'clicks' with me.
 
17th.

I suggest waiting until F2P to update though. These download sizes are insane. Last night was 13GB again and the F2P update will probably be just as big if not bigger. The problem is they're horrible coders. They change 5mb out of a 5GB file and then they expect you to redownload the whole file.

The update was actually about 25GB.
 
fok sakes, that's mental!

I remember that they designed this game from the ground up, which clearly wasn't the best way forward. How are botters these days? I remember when I was playing u could see the bot trains everywhere.

You don't really see bots anymore. No telling what is going to happen after March 17.

The huge patches are only with major updates though, this being the 6th one.

Yeah, I saw. It started downloading even more crap after the first 13GB.

Oh well. At least the new patch adds a significant amount of content.

Botters and gold sellers have been brought under control, but I suspect things will get bad again once F2P hits.
 
I'm definitely giving this a go again when B2P hits. Very curious as to how much the combat animations are going to improve with the upcoming patch.

Animation Updates

We have updated and polished all player character animations in both first- and third-person animations, which includes the following:
More natural postures and improved timing to combat animations.

- Improved movement animations to look better overall and significantly reduce foot slip while walking or running.
- Improved stealth animations.
- Slightly quicker light and heavy attacks, block, and interrupt animations.
- Smoother blending between attacks and abilities, particularly those that get interrupted.
- Light and heavy melee attacks will provide clearer feedback whether they hit or missed.
- Unique combat stance for Lightning, Restoration, and Fire/Frost staff types.
- Magical weapons will not persist longer than the ability that creates them. Similarly, equipped weapons and shields will always be visible when they can be used again.
- Female characters using 2-handed weapons or a bow will no longer have their arms stick to their weapons oddly when blocking or - otherwise interrupting an existing animation.

On a side note, one of the reasons I left was because of insane latency spikes and constant kicking to character screen during RvR. Maybe I just need to upgrade to 4mb though.

I think I used that at the time, and it did improve it a bit.

Started downloading the game last night as well for the 17th, 3% this morning :p
