Changes to early game and general combat

Anyone who has said something like "the game won't change much between beta and launch" are free to eat their words now.

 

I don't think they have to eat their words. It would be a fair guess given the history of MMOs development process. Just look at SWTOR, which appeared nearly identical from like 6 months before launch to 2 months after. They didn't even bother fixing the obvious bugs, let alone change how something worked.

 

"eating your words" is an idiom where one accepts they were wrong. The reasons they had for being wrong are actually irrelevant. :happy:

 

IMO "eating your words" means they said something foolish to begin with, then were proven wrong.

 

Much needed changes and I'm a little more excited now.

 

My favorite change is NPC collision followed by quicker leveling in beginning. That means we can get to PvP faster

 

Glad I never say such things....

You should try it sometime... :bashful:

 

nty :sigh:

 

This will be a pretty odd change if skipping a zone or two allows for faster leveling. I can see how it could if the quests that were at 7-10 are now designed to get you 3-10, like if there is no additional content thrown in to drag it out.

I guess we'll have to wait for someone on the PTS to spill the beans since we won't get that patch in our weekend test. So many youtube videos about this but nobody really breaking down the level range changes that I can see, if the starter islands were changed any in level ranges, etc.

 

Is there a test this weekend ? And damn this is the change I want to see!

 

All of these changes wont be in the test this weekend, according to this reddit thread. http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscroll...psa_this_beta_is_not_the_same_version_as_pts/

 

Seems legit. I mean why would we test the BIG CHANGES as soon as possible.

Going to be a fun launch.

 

Launch is still a month away, they could have another test
