WoW vs ESO 2019

Looking to get back into something for the next few months. What looks better currently?

wait until WoW classic comes out and play that
it's nearly time to go home

I never really got into WoW but ESO is top comfy if you enjoy the series.

Nah, fuck that. That's for dinosaur nerds who miss their glory days. Wow classic is going o feel archaic as fuck to anyone jumping into an mmo today

But mmorpgs are inherently an archaic design, that's why we have nu-age pseudo-mmo's like Destiny MH:World Division 2 etc

ESO improved dramatically since it released. I'd recommend it. I like the PvP system they got going. You can hop into a squad and wreck the other 2 factions by yourselves if you're good enough. I also like that you can spy on the other factions by having a character in their faction so you can listen to what they're saying in general chat. Gotta be careful what you put in general chat, could be real or fake news meant to distract.

Black desert if you are into weeb shit.

wow if you like the warcraft lore, still a very fun and rewarding mmo, it is just really made for casuals these days. Classic will be alot better.

ESO is casual from the start and it is just feels like shallow and really bad ripoff

What's got better waifus and lewds?

>Black desert if you are into weeb shit
DON'T!

There was a banwave last patch. Their automated tool to track cheaters is so crappy that it banned everyone who played Shadow Arena. It's on the top sellers again due to the amount of players who are buying the game AGAIN in a new account since their ban.

I did not know this, so strike black desert of my list. Just go with WoW

The only choice

that sounds ambiguous.
are you saying the game is so great that they are willing to invest again even after such a bullshit move?

ESO is confy and Alliance War in Cyrodiil is addicting. But watch out for incoming autism from RPfags.

I was asking for someone on the chat to give me a free werewolf bite, a player wanted to offer me a bite with the condition to join his guild and ask on the werewolf shrine for a "yiff". Just ignored him and waited for another werewolf to bite me.

MMO players are addicts. It’s like a woman going back to an abusive drunk boyfriend who hits her

>single player focus: the game

Come back when there's an option to play the game offline without subscription

>ask on the werewolf shrine for a "yiff"
yikes!

Literally anything is better than WoW.
>Nah, fuck that. That's for dinosaur nerds who miss their glory days
Good man.

ESO has better minute-to-minute combat, an actual real PVP system, player housing (which is superior to garrisons in every way) and a much deeper customization.

You'd have to be a brain damaged to keep playing WoW.

Wow, not even close.

Implying Blizzard won’t just release an even more broken beta and just use the new sub money to upkeep current retail. You niggers are getting played

Everyone is going to be playing WoW in a few more months when classic drops.

Refer to

>its been 10+ years and retards are still falling for the MMO meme

If WoW dies, this whole sorry genre is going with it.

Woah, a completely baseless claim.
You really showed me!

You should be asking "GW2 or FFXIV" instead, you filthy fucking normie sack of worthless shit.

I re-subbed to WoW a few weeks ago. I remembered loving Legion, and was so pissed during the start of BFA. I was exhausted. I was tired. I deleted WoW, un-subbed, and never thought about coming back. But then my buddy told me about a free 3-day thing they had and upon returning, it was aight. I'm digging it. I'm playing different classes, so it's like a new game to me. I'm also not playing hardcore and just going towards achievements and 2nd professions. I hear ESO is pretty good though. Hell, I downloaded it the other day and then re-subbed to WoW the next day lmao. Depends what you like doing, OP. M+'s I really enjoy. PVP/War Mode is cool. The raids are cool. The new zones are excellent. Blizzard totally fucked up between release and 8.1 though. Like, really. Was shit going from based end game Legion to having your character feel weaker. Also, RP is alive still I believe. Next patch is liking pretty good too.

eso sucks ass
just trying to download from their piece of shit p2p client is enough to avoid like the plague.
when they get a decent launcher and download speeds I'll give it a try again.

>argonian loli
D-does that exist?

Took me a fucking century to download the thing. Even with my fast internet. Left my PC on overnight. Also, I own it on Steam and I hear that launcher sucks, so I guess I'm screwed.

even if you own it on steam you'll have to download from their shit p2p client.

GW2, is that still a thing, have not heard anything about them for years, thoughed it was dead.

>sewer internet or shitty hotspot
>blames the server
you still have to wait around 7 months until your country becomes superpower

epic projecting

I hope so. The kickstarter MMOs will be a false restart. We need a good decade drought for a good virutal world to come along.

You can creat an ass bigger than that on the Character creator
and Argonian females has the biggest ass ingame

ESO is really good now a days. They fixed and improved most of the shit that was wrong with it years ago.

this + P2W, it's F2P in Korea which pretty much tells how both have the same cash shop

OP here. How's class selection/customization compared to WoW?

5 base classes, but shitloads of options and variables within each class.

6 Classes necros in Elsweyr XPAC, only races though nowadays isn't Breton or Dunmer scrolls like in the past.
it feels like an PnP CRPG by now with you free to do wharever the fuck you want with them, as long as it fits your playstyle.

people ingame who claims that isn't are retard minmaxers, which is a minority.

also before Yea Forums shits on it. watch Nixxiom's TESO videos, he somehow managed to break the EU servers with the massive player migration on the PC because of his videos, and Elsweyr Necro news.

WoW EU is becoming a Ghost Town in all servers with people leaving the game in pure spite and hatred cause by BFA, and 8.2PTR news isn't helping either, In the End WoW killed itself and players are moving to more firendly MMO's.

ESO and FF14 are on the top of the list due to community, Story and gameplay, ArenaNet is killing GW2 and Black Desert Online is a No Go.

Can I make busty argonian necroknights?
With big bouncy hist holders?

ESO combat and class design gave me AIDS. The devs have their heads buried in the sand about it and it will never change

>shitloads of options and variables within each class
Lmao

>Spotted the WoW Dev

Go BACK TO WORK YOU FUCKING TRANNY CALIFORNIAN SLACKER FAGGOT, YOUR GAME IS DYING BECAUSE OF NIGGERS LIKE YOU POSTING HERE INSTEAD OF LEARNING HOW TO CODE!

5 classes (6 soon with necromancer), each class has 3 skill trees + skill morphs that allow each class to opt stamina/magicka damage, tank or healer in terms of role/focus.

you can also combine the class skill trees with weapon skill trees and other skill trees (fighter's guild, mage's guild, vampire, werewolf), so it has a lot of costumization when making a build

lmao get that single player weebshit out of here

This game offers you a large variety of sub par options, and a few optimal ones. Essentially classes offer less differentiation than they do in other games. A Stam DPS Templar and a Stam DPS Dragonknight will run the same core build with some differences based on their class, because the devs can't into balancing and DPS is all about cycling through dots/buffs while light attacking

>baseless

>no Stam Sorc, which is better than Templar and DK (inb4 nerf)
Based

its really funny how the tables have turned for thease mmo's
ESO is currently in its golden age whereas WOW is dead/dying
and i dont think classic will bring it back, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Attached: 20181023040543_1.jpg (3840x2160, 2.05M)

I was just giving an example, Stam Sorc isn't excluded from the poison injection/caltrops/rearming trap/endless hail shit show

you forgot Stamina Sorcerer, it's all about buffs and has an infinite fountain of Stamina + heals HP thanks to Dark Deal, that and having a ton of passives that can be applied outside of the class itself

in all seriousness i think it takes a couple charicters to really appreiciate how nice it is in an mmo for you to be able to be whatever you wanna be

See

>or you to be able to be whatever you wanna be
Talking about a different game I assume

Its been at LEAST a year since I played ESO, probably a bit more.
I'm more of a pve guy.

Is magicka Nightblade still fun/good or has it been nerfed and shit?
How about Magicka DragonKnight?

Is it in its golden age? I used to shitpost about TESO with all of its lore changes when it was in beta.

no
if i wanna play a stealth caster with a sheild i can, a tank rouge with who heals? i can or a vampire hunter with 2 swords and heavy armor under robes? i can

Those classes will largely be useless and will all vaguely play the same. Designing stamina to be magicka but green doesn't help. Limited skill set means classes can't really have utility or flavour abilities.

yea, its currently the second best mmo to play rn aside from FF14.
the basegame is decent enough. and alot of the features like stealth and theft are really unique to this mmo, but what makes it really good right now are the recent addons. morrowind was fucking amazing to return to. and the lorefags have a pretty solid RP community going that i partook in for a while. the game is different in style from most mmo's so it can be hard to swallow at first but i think its a pretty damn good game.
fuck the crownstore tho. shits gay

You know what? I'll give the trial a try. I'm starting to like weeb shit

I felt like the loot in ESO got really bland when I realized the template, and all my gear was just bigger numbers and a different look
the questing felt like a bunch of reiterations of collect something or delve into a dungeon (to collect something)
some of the bosses had fun mechanics, but not fun enough to make up for the lack of character progression

I have 1.3k hours into ESO and I quit a few months ago.
Don't play ESO.

>Retail WoW
Its the same casual raid gear grind shitshow its been since Wrath
>FF
Its the same casual raid gear grind as WoW but with pedobait
>TES
Is an even more casual form of gear grind, Literal retarded monkeys could be MVP at this game, also dead
>GW2
Dead
>EvE
Absolutely dead, also P2W, also a shitshow
>OSRS
Alive and kicking, but exactly what you played a decade ago and we all know after 2 hours cutting willow trees you'll quit
>Classic WoW
404 Beta Not Found
>Albion online
Runescape but P2W and more PvP faggotry, but at least its alive
>Tree of Savior
Died before its time

So really the question is why are you bothering with this shitty fucking genre at all.

I heard recently that Archeage is decent now? Someone redpill me on this that ACTUALLY plays or played the game and knows about this?

Black Desert online

They implemented a (comparatively) f2p friendly catch-up mechanism that can get you to a reasonably competitive gear level pretty quick, if you don't mind grinding. Someone that pulls out their credit card can still have an advantage though

>Telling others not to play a game because you personally got burned out on it after 1k hours

Does ESO support VR? why would i downgrade from Skyrim VR? There's no point in multiplayer that isn't VR. the VR shooters are 100% interactive, i can reach out and rack the slide on a team mates pistol. i can slide a magazine under a car to him. i can take a magazine out of my rifle and put it in his rifle. why the fuck would i play a multiplayer RPG that was not VR? im never going back yo pushing buttons to attack, i want to swing that sword.

ESO is an MMO with MMO combat.

I never liked it to begin with.
I forced myself to play it so I can have a legitimate reason to hate it and at the same time to maybe try to like it for what it is. I lowered my standards many times but they eventually came back up as I noticed how shit it is.

Both are pretty shit as MMOs.

ESO is a dumbed down streamlined version of elder scrolls that uses the "MMO" aspect of it to just be an online platform for selling microtransactions.

WOW is no better in this regard, both are shit MMOs, the entire MMO genre right now is in a bad spot, they're all pandering so fucking hard to whales not realising that the only reason whales buy that shit is so they can show off, and if the game solo player focused with optional mutliplayer, whales won't ever get a chance, because no one will give a fuck about how good their waifu looks in game when no one else is playing in the same instance as them.
