That seems very odd. I absolutely did not feel this immersed the first time. The vast amount of bugs present back then might of course have had influence on that too.
It feels like a different game tbh.

What is endgame content of TESO? Is it your standard fare of raiding, grinding, etc?
Not your standard at all.
End game in ESO is Upper and Lower Craglorn (group content high end content), Trials (semi-raids, 12 person group, but it's a race to complete it as fast as possible and leaderboards, but it does drop decent loot), Dragonstar Arena, Vet Dungeons and PVP.
It doesn't have your insane raid content like other MMO's, just not the focus of the game.
Yeah, if you look on YouTube for original beta videos for your faction, you likely won't be able to see any difference other than lack of stealing.
In terms of PC or console - I'm a console tester of ESO and have over 500 hours on PC version so feel qualified to say: the versions are exactly the same. The console version runs at 1080p30 in a mix of High and Ultra graphics (it runs really well, surprisingly). Feature wise it's exactly the same as PC - all the content and features are there. The only difference is console has some extra features - e.g. voice chat, new interface, controller support etc. The console version is, in my opinion, better than the PC version and I think will surprise people.
TV advert for Xbox One and PS4 just aired here: https://twitter.com/NexusFandom/status/603678917363429380
There's also adverts in cinemas now.

Glad to see that they're pushing this game, however I don't know how CG trailers get anyone into checking out a game. It must work cause they keep doing it.
They test very well with audiences, far better than in game clips.
I bought digital. You can do a digital upgrade to the imperial right?
Win an ESO themed xb1 or PS4

I really think BestBuy is going to screw me on the imperial edition pre order.
Yeah I have to admit you are right. It must be the amount of bugs present in the beta that completely removed any interest I had back then.
Either way its a fantastic game now.

You want to go digital because MMO's for consoles are not able to be turned in for credit or resold again to others. Unless you just want a physical Disk you likely won't need. FFXIV does not require a disk so if you purchased one its only used once for installation and never needed again. This sounds likely to be the case as well.
You can rent/resell ESO surprisingly. There was a recent thread update with the correction.

Awesome sounds great! I purchased the digital edition at reduced price for owning it on Mac so hadn't researched on the physical copy, now we know
What are good builds in this game? Does it have a good class balance?
Yes it has very good class balance.
Couple sites to visit for builds:
http://deltiasgaming.com/
http://tamrielfoundry.com/
If you are looking for PVP builds you can check out sypherpk on twitch.tv or his youtube videos also, here's his website: http://www.sypherpk.com/
To be honest, my take is this game is so casual you really don't need to worry about a build. Any class can use any weapon. And any armour. And any armour type. And use almost any skill. Sure, if you spend 100 hours in Excel you can create a character which is 2% more powerful than somebody else in PVP, but basically the game is super casual and it's a waste of time. It really is one of those games where you can dive straight in and play - there is no ideal way.
I would agree with this unless you go crazy hardcore 1v3-4 PvP like a few of us do. Builds are pretty important if you're soloing out in Cyrodiil. If you're doing group PvP they are still important, but not insane.
Honestly just play the game you want to play and make your own build. The only reason I talk/deal with others about builds and really go hardcore about it is because that's how I've always been in PvP. I've PvPed in this game without a crazy custom build and done fine so as Gossi said you can really just play at your own pace.
Separate loot per player.
Native support coming at an undisclosed time after the console launch. X-padder support functional but not perfect now if you feel like messing with it.

Anyone else out there pretty unhappy with the Emperor trophy/achievement.
I'd love to platinum this game but it's absolutely not going to happen considering how time consuming that trophy will be and even with the time commitment so many other factors at play.
It's definitely not going to stop me from enjoying the hell out of the game, but it still bothers me.

Can someone give a screenshot of each starting zone? Is there 3?

Found the game in a bargain bin today for 10. I've been passively looking at ESO since launch and now that it's free to play I thought it was too good a price to not try it out. Very much looking forward to finally playing it. Heard great things about it the last few months and watched quiet a few streamers on Twitch actively playing and enjoying the game from what I understand. Seems like a fun community to be a part of.

My destiny group is super burned out of Destiny and we all are super stoked to jump into this. Take our time and just enjoy the world and play together.

Just got the email that my account copy is complete.
They won't be sending the digital codes until June 8th so that means barely any pre-loading. That really really sucks.

Embarrassingly basic question.
The "raids" or "dungeons", whatever they're called in ESO, is there a universal que for them? i.e. can I pull up a screen somewhere that will list the available group content for characters my level and let me jump in a waiting line for them? Or is it the Destiny route where you party with people you know before hand.
I'll be playing on XBO if that makes a difference.

There is a group finder for all dungeons. Trials though I believe you have to put a pre-made group together. Trials are the 12 person content.
I hope they add a minimap.
I hear the group finder sucks for some reason. Like it's buggy or no one uses it on PC.
There's a full group finder on console (including for trials) and it works. Source: I tested it.
Awesome. I just saw a Youtube video showing it off. PC getting shafted.
Yea that email pissed me off... they blame it on console limitations yet I have pre ordered and pre loaded many games.
Whatever... we are getting the game cheap, guess we can not complain. But it makes me think there will not be a pre load for anyone.

You can already pre-load on the Xbox, so I'm not sure why PC users transferring to the Xbox are being delayed until the 8th.
No it works fine on PC, but PC users choose to not use it and LFG in the city with the Undaunted dailies instead.
