The Unnamed has recently reached over 1000 registered members on the site. This is made up of our player-base, allies and fans. Its a great milestone to reach and this version of our website has only been online for around 2 years of the 5 years The Unnamed has been around!

We don't get complacent though! We still hope to grow and have representation in even more games!

Will ESO be a good MMO?

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:34:00 +0100

Well this is the question I asked the community via our forums. After GW2 started to get a little repetitive for me (My opinion as others in the community still play it) I started my search for yet another MMO that could satisfy my cravings. I went to mmorpg.com as I usually do to look at the most hyped games in development at the moment, thats when I saw ESO (Elder Scrolls Online).

My first thoughts where why have I never come across this game before or heard of its development? There is so much content already revealed and game play footage on Youtube for all to see. I decided this can only be one of two things.. Either they have been developing this game for a few years and managed to keep it totally on the hush hush or its been thrown together really quickly and will lack and real quality.

With doubts in my mind whether or not ESO could be a potential new game for The Unnamed I put the question on the forums Will ESO be a good MMO? The first thing that was brought up was the promise of full proper world PvP, the thing that made us such a large successful guild in the beginning with WAR.

One member said referring to a Yogcast video he had seen..

"... and then the video showed the PvP section of the game, large-scale continent-wide fighting. You can join the Ebonheart Treaties (which encompasses Morrowind) and fight against the filthy Aldmers. And suddenly my mindset is very different to what it was when I started writing this reply. I may be sporting a mild Elder Scrolls boner.

Oh God I hope this game is good"

Another

"For the PvP sides of things; Im trusting that one of the Daoc lead designers pulls it off. Otherwise, like Badger said , this game will go to the shelf soon, as no MMO to date has managed to give a decent "large scale" PvP experience. And with such beautiful poligons here And there..."

The Discussion then seemed to turn to comparing it to rest of the Elder Scrolls series. Is it going to be much like the games we already love to play and invest hundreds of hours in? Or is it going to be a generic MMORPG using only the lore from the ES games.

"I love Bethesda games, I love elder scrolls, Morrowind is still best RPG for me. However, Zenimax announced that elder scrolls online will have the general features like most of usual MMO games. The game will not be anything similar to what we love in Elderscroll games. I do not have hope for greatness. I know I will Definitely try for the sake of old times."

Another member then followed up with..

"What everyone expects it to be is a MMO version of Skyrim.

Hardware wise this isn't really possible the moment if they want to reach out to enough people to make a MMO popular.

In reality it's going to be an MMO of some kind but its not going to resemble the gaming experience of the Elderscroll games which are generally actually quite bad games gameplay wise (it's true) but suck you in by their amazing environments."

As a little time went on we had a few members in the closed BETA and careful not to reveal too much about the game they gave us there opinions on what they had sampled. I personally was still shocked on how fast the game went from being unheard of to a BETA stage.

One of the testers said..

"When the game was first announced I went full skeptic that they would fail at making an MMO.

I changed my view shortly before closed beta.. mainly because I wanted it to be good as there have been so many major MMO let downs since Vanilla WoW.

Since playing Closed Beta just feel this game is going to upset and let down a lot of people that expected it to be more than it is.(unless your a hardcore Elder Scrolls fan that would rape your own gran if Bethesda told you to)."

It wasn't sounding good for the new MMO and then a 20 minute video on the game appeared on the internet and the forum thread was buzzing with negativity!

Referring to the video..

"It does look rubbish. Uninteresting environments, combat seems sloppy at best, repetitive at its worst. The only redeeming feature from that footage was a slider on character creation for 'posterior size' - gonna get me a big redguard woman with a caboose the size of Mt Olympus!"

Another..

"From my experience of playing betas that are roughly 8-9 months away from release, nothing much gets changed in mechanics or graphics. Warhammer's graphics didn't change from beta, and I was pretty certain they would bump them up a bit but nope. Honestly not expecting much from this game."

One of the testers added..

"From first hand experience playing the beta.. they need more then a year to fix this game to even make it remotely worth playing (or to even bring it to the same level as F2P MMO's)... I honestly think the whole thing would have to be remade.

I don't know how to put this game into words.. because it just has nothing to say about it.. I honestly can't name one thing that defines this game in anyway shape or form.. I could say more about the features in Runescape then I could in this."

Well I think I got the answer to my question... Proberly not. It looks as though the ESO team have attempted to release a game with no quality and content in order to gain a quick buck using the name from the Elder Scrolls series to sell it. I really hope I'm proven wrong, the reaction to ESO could be manifested from the disappointment derived from all the current MMO let downs as of late. I'm not totally writing the game off and won't be able to say if we are going to venture into it. But it looks as though a lot of work is going to be needed to be done to persuade these constantly let down disgruntled MMO fans.

Go4LoL ESL CUP 27th Jan 2013

Sun, 27 Jan 2013 16:45:00 +0000

Our LoL ranked team entered Go4LoL Cup for the first time today.
We made it to Round 2 and placed 256 out of 512 :]

We won our first match quite easily but unfortunately got stomped in the second match against European Knights. They were a very good team with mixture of Platinum and Diamond league players and ranked 8th in last weeks Go4LoL cup.

We had fun and everyone played well, just need to keep practicing and will hopefully do better next time but we did do well to win our first match in a tournament with a lot of semi-pro and pro teams.

Results:

Unfortunately I wasn't streaming these matches but we do have in-game spectator replays which I will leave recording overnight and will upload sometime tomorrow.

Also good job guys was fun and we got a lot of experience from this and hopefully with more practice we will be at the same level if not higher then European Knights in the future.

The Unnamed: Now on Desolation

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:54:00 +0000

Hey people,

This is just a quick update post to announce that The Unnamed is moving to the Desolation server. We had a great time on Blacktide but we have decided now that it is time to leave in order to pursue new ventures and to build up our WvW forces to it's former glory.

Desolation was our home in beta and we have now returned to settle in with a new pair of fluffy slippers and a good old cup o' tea. In the coming weeks the leadership will be focusing on bolstering our WvW presence, as well as planning on enhancing the guild in other aspects.

For now we hope we will be a welcomed force on Desolation and we look forward to some good old fashioned facerolling.

Cheers,

Benki

Dayz Update - Closed Testing and release date soon?

Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:34:00 +0000

Taken from the Dayz Blog

Where is the Standalone Release?

I suppose I should start with the question everyone wants to know… where is DayZ Standalone? Obviously, it’s not here. At Eurogamer I said that DayZ had to be out before the end of the year and that’s come and gone. I still stand by that comment, to achieve what we had originally wanted, we did have to be out by the end of the year - and we’ve failed to achieve that.

Good Job guys you did well (regardless of how bad I did in game 5 lol)... now to get the team to 2000+ ELO ;]

Guild Wars 2 Fractal Update

Sun, 23 Dec 2012 08:37:00 +0000

Taken from the Gw2 Website

Hello, everyone! I’m Isaiah Cartwright, lead designer on Guild Wars 2. I wanted to talk to you about two upcoming changes to the fractal dungeons: reconnect and party-tier improvements.

Currently, if a party member disconnects from a fractal dungeon run, they are unable to rejoin, which can cause a lot of issues for that player and their party. Our new system will allow players who disconnect to reconnect to their party and jump back into the dungeon. We certainly understand how frustrating this situation can be, and would like to apologize for the delay on this fix.

We’ve also made a few changes to the way party-level restrictions work. Currently, players who want to join a party are limited to the lowest fractal level in the party. This makes it difficult for lower fractal-level players to find parties, so we’ve modified the party-level restrictions to allow players of any fractal level to group up. At party creation, players can choose any fractal level up to the highest fractal level in the party. Upon completion of the fractal run, all players equal to or lower than the chosen fractal level will have their fractal level increased by one. All players above the chosen fractal level will gain karma, but their fractal level will not increase. Rewards from the fractal will be based on players’ personal reward level as long as the reward level is equal to or lower than the chosen fractal level. For example:

Player 1 (fractal level 2)

Player 2 (fractal level 21)

Player 3 (fractal level 21)

Player 4 (fractal level 21)

Player 5 (fractal level 53)

Player 2 makes the party and sets the fractal level to 21, and the party goes on to beat three fractals. Here are the fractal-level results after the run:

Player 1 (fractal level 3)

Player 2 (fractal level 22)

Player 3 (fractal level 22)

Player 4 (fractal level 22)

Player 5 (still fractal level 53, but gains karma for helping)

The goal is to allow everyone to play together and make partying less restrictive for everyone. We plan to ship these two features at the end of January.

Thanks for playing!

Dayz Update - Rocket speaks

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 16:37:00 +0000

After the November update where Rocket informed us the stand alone version of Dayz could be "delayed" we didnt really hear much else.

On Reddit today how ever Rockets speaks out about how the project is starting to get on top og him a little bit. I must add its great to see the response and support he got from the community, simply telling him to take his time.

From Reddit

"I know I have been very quiet lately. So this will be really all I'll say for the moment.

I've been pretty depressed about the whole situation. From a personal standpoint, this whole "saga" of the development made me seriously question if I wanted to be involved in the industry and I gave serious thought to cutting my losses and not being involved in the project.

At my Army Discharge medical this week, they noted I now have high blood pressure. Some things in life just aren't worth worrying about.

I've been getting hammered by a massive amount with requests for information about DayZ release, interviews and my reactions to this and stuff and such - but for my own sanity I retreated and have kept to myself. Right now I'm just at home doing bits and pieces on the DayZ development. The rest of the DayZ team is doing the same.

I realize that I went back on my word about releasing an update, but went back into my shell for a bit last week, and I'll come out when the dust is all settled."

From The Unnamed, Take your time pal!

Elder Scrolls Online - Should we play it?

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 12:55:00 +0000

So more and more information is being released on The Elder Scrolls Online, question is should we play it?

I've started a topic and new section on the forums to discuss this further. I'm sure that this game will be in development for a while and there for shouldn't inter fear with the likes of GW2 that we are currently showing in force, but could be one for the future.

[ThUn] CS:GO + 1

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 12:55:00 +0000

We are currently looking for one active person to join our low skill team.

We are training a lot lately and any person interested should be in the same mind of wanting to improve and gain a good team atmosphere and understanding.

If you are interested feel free to add Angelfighter (Leader) to steam - killing_cyclops
