Played again tonight, I don't see this game being ready in 2 weeks.

1) A lot of quests are still buggy as hell. NPC's not spawning, doors not opening, Items not being present.
2) You can fall through the map, this seems new as I hadn't had this issue but It happened twice tonight I open a door run into a building but it has no floor and I fall and fall and fall.
3) Combat still seems way off, I know they said they fixed things but the jump strike for nightblade still deals damage without actually jumping you to the target, the aiming is freaking terrible in third person, and blocking and interrupting seems to only work half the time.
4) Ive been stuck in a disguise for a quest I did 2 hours ago. Literally running around as a dude, when im a foxy wood elf beotch.
5) NPC's seem to be wigging out with their options.
6) The god damn quests are still buggy as hell (I know I said this before but since its the only "real" way to get EXP its kind of a big @#%^ing deal).

I think I said it before, or maybe I said it on the ESO forums but my god this Beta feels a hell of a lot like the first FFXIV Beta, and I think this company is in for a world of hurt if they try and push this to launch in 2 weeks. People aren't going to tolerate sh*t not working when they actually have to pay to play.

I also didn't include laggy stuff because that might just be beta server issues but
~ Skipping along where your guy all the sudden goes from 0-100mph in a second is whack
~ Dudes are not dying when they should empty health bars and they just stay on screen and about 10 seconds later fall over dead
~ Game will pause randomly for 5-10 seconds and then catch up to itself (They said this would occur in the patch notes though but don't have a fix for it yet.)

Is your character taking a siesta?

It's nice to know that as we progress further through this beta, the game is getting prettier, but more buggy. Obviously they're focused on the wrong aspects of development.

The ironic thing is that XIV:ARR's first alpha in December 2012 was more polished than the state of TESO beta today. SE got burned and learned their lesson. Too bad Bethesda didn't learn from SE's mistakes.

I'll just wait for them to muck up the launch, lose most of the customer base before they fix the problems, and then have to go F2P just to keep the game running. With any luck they'll have fixed the bugs by then and I can play the game they wanted to have at launch for free a year or two later. All part of the plan.

Don't laugh, it worked with SWTOR.

Well that's no fun. I was just watching this thread for the inevitable launch disaster and the bloody wake of whining players it would leave behind.

I gave it 9 months on the last day of Beta. I said it would be FTP by Christmas.

I dont give it that long.... Its going to be similar to SWTOR.... the difference is that SWTOR actually looked and played good.. it just had no end game. ESO has terrible graphics.. tons of bugs and the fact you can not explore an open world... Is a death nail.... I give it 2 months tops before the subscription base begins dropping... then another 1-2 months and the game will go F2P.

Oh, right, that's coming out. The level of disinterest I have in the game is kind of ridiculous, given the ES title.

The level of buzz for the game is really super low. I mean, it's not surprising, but that doesn't bode well.

I'm sure we'll hear about it when the launch falls to pieces.

They'll even add a magazine.
