I take it the 30 days starts when we put the code in... so better to wait until Sunday?
Does anyone know what happens when subscriptions run out? I hope it's possible to take an occasional vacation without losing characters.
So kind of them, giving us a free buck for having to deal with tons of issues. Or at least, I've had a ton of issues trying to play.
Really depends on who you ask. For me, the game is okay, I enjoy it when it works right, but I have been dealing with all kinds of lag, as well as 5+ character rollbacks. It's ridiculous. It feels like beta to me.

It looks better than the beta did and there are no bugs (or few ones if you like). Whoever decided they would use old builds as the stress test (which is what everyone judged the game from) should be fired.
edited to say ha at the guy above me. I guess it depends then. me and a friend had no issue so far.

The only issues I had were about 2 or 3 bugged quests but they were fixed before it ever bothered me.
Sorry to hear that you're having problems.

It has been a very smooth pre-launch. Actual launch, which is tomorrow, should paint a better picture. However, you can read many impressions, from IGN to Massively, that praise the game and its polish, thus far.
Obviously, there are bug quests and other oddities. Although, ironically enough, my experience so far has been less buggy than Skyrim launch.
My client had the "repair" button, I exited and then it was back to "play"

Yeah, that's too late for me now, but I can start the game fine using the executable in the game dir.
I hope Zenimax will release a patched/updated launcher, since it wants to resume the 2nd full install.

If anyone else is stuck downloading a full reinstall after downloading a small patch, this should fix it;
Hey guys, I'm considering an impulse buy, wanted a few opinions. I really didn't get into skyrim as much as I though I would. I did play a lot of Oblivion though. How is this game going in with no friends to play with? All my friends are on Dota and don't want to get it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

It still needs work in this regards. I am running a Intel 3930x OC to 4.8 and 2xGTX Titans and at 1080p and every setting set to the max, I have had drops down to the 30's at times in some of the towns and a little bit of drops out in the open. Overall, it runs good, but could definitely be better as I should not be dropping at all with the rig I have.
I am going to disable SLI to see if it improves. I have had games in the past that caused more issues due to SLI. I also think there is no official driver profile, nor a SLI profile (Nvidia) as of yet.

Ya check SLI. I am running 1440p on a oc'ed 920i7 and a gtx 670 and I have everything maxed and hover above 50 in all my review footage.
I did get one drop but couldn't tell if that was lag or actually FPS drops.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah I'm not talking about lag or server disconnects, I give online games a pass on those issues for a couple weeks.
I just want to know if the game engine itself is good and solid.
Did anyone else buy from Gamestop? Trying to put in my retail key now and it says it's invalid? Are they not going to be active until tomorrow? My 5 day imperial edition early access key worked the other day and I can still play right now but I'm not trying to wait any longer if my key isn't good.

Well I'm sorta hitting the wall (already). If this game had come out... 4 years ago... it would be amazing. But I think after 500 hrs of GW2 and 100~ hours of Skyrim, I just can't really get into this right now. It is just Skyrim with mmo quests (which aren't really all that exciting). The PvP, which I was most excited for, is a carbon copy of GW2's WvW, which I've played way too much of.
I'm going to take a break (I'm only level 11), and come back when I feel the game again (whenever that may be).

What the hell, the game has treasure maps? I don't know how I'm going to solve this, lol.

I didn't buy from GameStop, but I would hit up game support if i was told my retail key was invalid.

any guild spots left, War Macheen
also game doesn't look half bad maxed out, though some of the animations and hit detection are janky.

An Unwanted Twin is the coolest quest, hands down.

The combat log stream was too much for me, but otherwise it's great. Love the game's support for add ons.
Everyone in the guild can invite. I'm not on at the moment. My laptop is breaking on me and I'm trying to fix that. ): lol

To be added do you need my Character name or just my username? I have a few alts that I made, not sure which I am going to run with mainly at first.
Either your Character name or @ID (username). Once one is in all your characters are in.
Going to bed now, it's 3am. Only got to play 2 hours since I got called in to work. My impressions are pretty positive. Feels like I'm playing a slightly "jankier" Oblivion that is fully online, so that's pretty cool. I don't feel like I'm playing WoW based MMO #254. It feels like I'm playing an Elder Scrolls game. So props to the devs for managing to do that. Probably what makes it feel so fresh compared to the last couple of MMO releases...
Graphics are nice. It's no Skyrim but there's some nice art and effects in there. Performance was fine on a gtx670 and i5 3470 at 1080p. Good music and decent voicework.
Can't wait to play more during the weekend.

I haven't seen any performance dips outside of the major cities with a good number of players running around. I think it's more of a product of the final release of the game opening the floodgates than the patch.

Shadows maybe then draw distance. Make sure AA is off.
