Thank you

>>1948681
the cp required to queue for vet stuff should be higher

>>1949107
That would just mean they spend even longer having no idea what to do before jumping in. What it needs is specific requirements that actually guide people into the roles. Want to queue as a tank, gotta have a s&b/slotted taunt/high base health. DPS? Get that goddamn taunt off your bar. Healer? Not with that bow/bow build you're not.

>>1949265

>>1949265
enforcing the meta is not a good solution, lots of players would complain that they're not allowed to play the game the way they want.

>>1949278
>autokick if you switch out of the requirements mid run, with a 1h timer to requeue and an unremovable clown costume and slow debuff for the duration
>short grace period if a role is emptied in case someone wants to switch in
But that'd be overkill really. Someone determined to crash a run will find a way, I'm mostly thinking of the ones that just don't know any better because the game itself doesn't teach you shit.

>>1949292
There's a reasonable limit to "play how you want" even for ZOS, otherwise the game wouldn't be designed around the trinity in the first place. Actively refusing to do the absolute bare minimum for a role in group content is just griefing.

Which of these events in Tamrielic history do you think was the most humiliating?

- Imperials getting conquered and ruled by savage daedra worshipping Reachmen
- Altmer getting numidium'd and forced to be under human rule for 400 years
- Dunmer getting invaded and massacred by their former lizard slaves

>>1951080
l4d2_wandering_witch_music.wav

>>1951304
Definitely Summerset's conquest. Imperials have been through worse than the reachmen, and the Argonians only sucker punched Morrowind after three back-to-back disasters that were all worse than the accession war, four if you count the Imperial occupation. Altmer had resisted invaders for thousands of years and the fact that they didn't rebel the instant Numidium was disabled implies the attack and/or occupation was much worse than just smashing a few ships and buildings.

>>1953804
>>1953827
Heavy armor will hinder your dps. Light armor passives give armor penetration per piece and medium gives crit and weapon/spell damage. Heavy is mostly damage resistance.

Heavy chest armor is popular since it gives the full resistance bonus as the biggest piece, but I'd consider swapping some of the smaller pieces to light and medium armor just to deal more damage, and to have exp flowing into all 3 armor trees

>>1952983
Altmer hands typed this post.
>>1953071
What you actually want is oracle eyes from the adornment pack, then stage 2 vamp on an Altmer or the arctic rime skin on a dunmer. The maormer skin is ironically useless for maormer cosplay because its only scales, no race has a pale enough skin tone to match and it takes up the slot you'd use to fix that.

there's an q&a on reddit

>>1955437
why there are people excited to see every zone becoming craglorn?

>>1955500
Because questing might as well be a VN right now. Even the lazy solution of inflating health would be an improvement.

just how many romance options are they thinking of adding...

>>1955516
most players skip mobs instead of fighting them. adding more health to the equation won't change a thing

Vet delves and public dungeons when

>>1955608
I don't care how other people choose to play, I just want to quest without feeling like I'm boxing patients at a children's hospital.
>>1955620
Those will probably be included.

>>1955607
All of them, fade to black sex scenes in nearly every questline. Vestige will be sluttier than a modded dragonborn.

Realistically though, only the companions will be fully romancable and the rest will be flirt options that go nowhere, MAYBE a kiss or implied one night stand if they're feeling bold. They're not doing elaborate romance arcs for characters like Naryu or Verandis because it would make writing all their future appearances too complicated.

>>1957005
That pretty much is how ME handles it. Fleshed out romances with the crew, smaller side scenes with a handful of lesser NPCs, and little to nothing with the more prominent NPCs.

>>1955437
It doesn't matter that it's optional. Veteran and HM are also optional. The rewards will be better so everyone will have to choose between overland HP inflation or lower drop rates.

I'm trying to make a living off of being a furniture crafter. What are some furnishings you think I should stock?
Any particular styles you like?

>>1957728
Probably the things you want in multiple copies. DLC lightning/conservatory bulk-selling.

>>1957700
Depends on what the rewards are. "Higher drop rates" don't mean anything because overland mobs don't drop anything useful, unless it affects containers which just means urn farmers will run stealth builds if the hp jump is that bad. The biggest thing they could do would be perfected sets, so people could just switch off whenever they're not filling the stickerbook.

And this is assuming hp inflation will even be a problem. Maybe they learned from Craglorn and focus hp gains on the bosses everyone complains about killing too quickly instead of random trash mobs.

>>1957826
Honestly, some perfected overland sets would go unfathomably hard

Will they ever remake High Rock to not look so half-assed?

>>1958271
oh fuck I didn't think about this before but every video I see of a consoid they have like max cash for some reason, how is the economy supposed to deal with that

>>1958469
>for some reason
Probably bought gold. Bots farm the starter zones, sell mats for dirt cheap then sell the gold for cash. But with bots keeping mats cheap and no addons to help with farming or trading until recently, the average player has way less gold and overall prices are much lower. So the economic threat would be a flood of cheap goods more than the handful of players with big money.

But did they actually say they were merging things to that extent? I always figured cross play would just limit trading to dungeon/trial drops and keep the guild markets segregated.

>>1958414
the starter zones received a visual update earlier this year, so other base game zones getting it too is not out the the question

>>1960084
What do you expect, a remake of every single asset? ZOS is either so understaffed or so incompetent they can't even put out new content on time anymore, much less remake the base game from scratch.

>>1959994
most quests are just 'move from A to B while killing everything on the way'. How is that complicated?

>>1960586
at the very least some of those assets that give visual definition to the zones.
driftwood and a rug from these devs is practically bait

I would prefer if they focused on better new content instead of revisiting old stuff

>>1960945
The starter zones are tiny islands, there's not much to touch up besides beaches, shipwrecks and decor. Redoing the building models would scope creep the project from side job to expansion feature territory, and they still got indirect improvements from lighting changes. Much as I'd love it if they prettied up the entire game until it sets last-gen consoles on fire, you've gotta be realistic. It wasn't advertised as a full remake and ZOS seems to be in no condition to do that even if they wanted to.

>>1959838
It's not worth the money, wait for it to come to plus.

Oh, I did not know Mizzak had that cat patting animation. And he has been in my house for ages.

Very difficult to say anything good about ZOS these days but their leadership AMA on Reddit answered some difficult questions that I expected them to ignore entirely.

So that's a slight improvement.

>>1961189
>I would prefer if they focused on better new content instead of revisiting old stuff
Why? There's more than enough content already in the game. Problem is a lot of it is half-baked. I would much rather they expand shit like Thieves Guild/Dark Brotherhood or do a "Orsinium/Morrowind II" expansion than another Solstice or the previous three regions I can't even name aside from Necrom.

>>1961604
They speak with so much authority but do it with those squeaky little voices

>>1961718
I'm pretty sure MS ordered the leadership changes, so best case they're actually trying to fix up the golden goose and get ZOS out of asset flip hell. Worst case its a B-team talking a good game but really just overseeing the descent into maintenance mode.

>get back bar maelstrom staff and wall of elements

>>1961722
>There's more than enough content already in the game.
and I have already done all of it. I need new stuff

>>1962124
Go furnish your house

>>1962124
Adding new stuff to Vvardenfell and the Dark Brotherhood would be new. I would rather they pace themselves because at some point they're gonna fill out Tamriel entirely and we're gonna have a bunch of half-baked shit.

>>1962369
they would just make up another island

>>1961988
cleave damage

>>1962369
I don't know why people are worried about them running out of space. If they were committed to putting out a new zone every year they could easily go another 15-20 without having to bullshit up a single new island like Solstice, and whether something is "half-baked" shouldn't have anything to do with a zone being new or not. The only thing retreading old zones does is spare them from creating new assets, and a AAA studio needing to worry about that is a crisis situation.

>>1962481
how many islands they made up so far? four?

>>1962502
>The only thing retreading old zones does is spare them from creating new assets, and a AAA studio needing to worry about that is a crisis situation.
nta but I disagree
We're now getting to the point where every culture has been well established visually. New assets for the sake of new assets is a waste of time and resources. We need new systems and revisiting old ideas, not locations. Touching up old assets is on the table.

>>1962749
>New assets for the sake of new assets
I don't see it that way. One of the appeals of ESO is being able to see parts of Tamriel that the mainline games aren't touching, and even hobbyists doing the same raised their standards beyond copypasting old assets years ago. Would you be okay paying that much for Necrom if it was cobbled together from upscaled Stonefalls buildings? Plus new assets do expand an old system, by adding new furnishings.

And again, this shouldn't even be an either/or situation. The only reason we can't have say, new DB content in Solstice is the design choice to have every expansion isolated in a timeless bubble (which is no longer the case), and limits on developer resources which appears to be because of gross mismanagement.

FINALLY, an event
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/68695

why is raising skellies a criminal action but summoning daedra isn't?

>>1963704
necromancers are targeted and oppressed by tamrielic authorities

>>1961407
*vibes*

>>1963704
Probably something to do with the whole necromancer-centric cult and their necromancer leader. Also the Mages Guild outlawed it, and summoning lesser daedra is still fairly common among them. Since they are 100% bound to your word while on Nirn and can't remain without a summoner. Zombos and skellies can run amok until their gas runs out if when they get taken off the leash. If you could summon Dremora as a sorc, that should carry a bounty.

>>1963704
Summoning a daedra is dangerous, but doesn't necessarily require anything but knowledge and magicka and isn't inherently harmful. Step one of necromancy is to desecrate someone's corpse, and possibly enslave their soul. Only one of these things NEEDS a death to function.

Plus it's just unhygienic. Necromancers probably smell funky.

>>1965010
I had the same problem in the past and the solution is to close your torrent client

>>1962605
Bleakrock, Khenarthi's Roost, the Systres archipelago and now Solstice. I guess 4 is correct

>>1965585
The first two are just small tutorial zones, might as well give them shit for making up dungeon locations. The Systres were a named location from Redguard's map. Solstice is the only case (so far) of them pulling a big island out of complete nowhere AND blowing an entire expansion slot on it.

I started playing again after many years (account is 10 years old, but I played less and less, and one of my characters is CP 5 or something). My biggest problem at the time was not having a class that I liked enough. With the changes, and mixing skill lines that has changed, and I can just play on my main character (which I kept deleting autistically and remaking as a different class, while I kept an alt for crafting)

Should I bother getting plus for DLC access right now, when I have so much free content to get through?

I love fauns bros

Haven't played in over a year, thought about starting again. In your honest opinions what is the new expansion like and how has the "classles" update been for the game, is it better or worse and are mono-class builds dead?

>>1966143
>what is the new expansion like
Same as usual, but with recycled assets and half the map delayed.
>how has the "classles" update been
Polarizing, some like it and others absolutely hate it. Personally I like it, but it did exacerbate some major preexisting issues. Skills that were already broken in pvp are now stackable, Arcs already pushed every other class out of meta and subclassing made them stronger, and the barrier to access those skills is just slotting a line instead of leveling up a new character. But blaming subclassing for all that is misguided, the problem is the inept devs that don't play the game and balance entirely via spreadsheet.
>mono-class builds dead?
Yes, the performance gap is pretty big.

they finally killed eso

>>1967984

Britt is so much better than Rigurt

>>1967996

How long does this game realistically without shitposting have left before shutdown?

>>1968041
next expansion is the last according to bethesda discord leaks

>>1968041
another decade at least. ZOS said they want ESO to last 30 years

>>1968048
ZoS's other MMO was shut down by Microsoft. They will be forced to continue on with ESO until the next TES game comes out (never ever)

>Vivec city outlaw's refuge
>350+ FPS ultra all settings
>step outside
>1 FPS minimum settings, brief flash of light before my computer and the whole city block are engulfed in cleansing flame

>>1968041
Blackbird turned the ESO team into a skeleton crew, so its a question of whether MS decides to build the studio back up to keep the crate money flowing long term or not. Its hard to tell which they're doing right now.

If 26 is a repeat of this year or worse, its probably doomed and shuts down within 2-3 years as players lose faith and stop spending enough for MS to justify its existence.
If they can get their shit together and deliver beefier content and/or any of that "cool stuff coming next year" stream talk it could go another 10+ years just fine.

>>1965911
I wanna hug him.

What do devs unironically without shitposting need to do to save ESO?

>>1968225
Demote or fire Wheeler and whoever he sucked off to get the job. Ban the writers from using cults as primary antagonists for the next 5 years. Hire however many people it takes to make expansion assets, earnable rewards, and crateslop at the same time. Begin phasing out last gen consoles.

>Firor gets fired
>devs suddenly talk about adding romance

Interesting. I remember Rich saying in some interview that he wanted companions to be romanceable but Firor rejected the idea.

>>1968411
>devs suddenly talk about adding romance
do they mean companions or questline NPCs like in old republic

>>1968695
the server is sending you information that your(and other's) client is not visually displaying by default.
also the trilateral commission sent spies to look through your window while you play to confirm that the information sent by the server is correct

>>1968411
romance was talked about when companions were added. they said the same "we want to add it, but we want to do it right" line back then too

>>1968460

>>1955607
could've been a joke

Unironically romance and skyrim tier sex mods with special sex positions in creates and ESO plus, game would sell like hotcakes as much as people here will hate me for saying it.

Microsoft needs to fire everyone and start over with people who actually listen to the community's gripes.
Seriously. It makes no sense how you work on something for 10+ years and are still confused about how it works.
It has to be done for the game to live.

I heard the romance rumors. I know it's cheesy but that's a cute idea. I always really liked Naryu, Ayrenn, and Mirri, so hopefully the options include one of them. I'm excited

>>1972521
the companions are the only ones confirmed to be getting romance stuff
but if the latest expansion is any indication they're gonna let you [Flirt] with Naryu every other dialogue line to the point of cringe

>>1972559
Didn't play the latest expansion, just here doing dailies, what are you refering to regarding flirting? Are the old questlines updated with that too?

>>1972566
they're starting to add flavored dialogue lines, one of which is flirty
and they're red lines which means the game will remember your choices

>>1972585
Damn if this is in old content wanted to RP these on my main, will it be possible to redo questlines

they're only in the new content, mostly in the prologue+main story quest

Okay I haven't played in a long time so I missed a lot of discussion about hybridisation but if it's all scaling anyway wouldn't having a big stamina bar be more useful than magic? Or do you still want the extra magicka to last through long fights anyway?

>>1975324
Yep. Stam and medium armor are the meta now in most cases.

>>1975281
It's justifiable now, though. These last 5 years have sucked ass. Even the lore (the only reason this game is good) isn't good anymore.

We really peaked at Summerset, and it's been downhill ever since.

>>1975784
>it's been downhill ever since
nah, Blackwood and High isle were good chapters. The main problem with solstice isn't the content, but the quantity. they delivered only half a zone so far and we will have to wait until november for the other half.

>>1976000
Bro, we literally went from new kino tower lore to reheating oblivion
I don't even want to talk about High Isle. The worst chapter ever released.

-Two great looking zones (Galen was even given out for free at the time).
-Pretty good questlines.
-Tales of Tribute
-Dreadsail Reef (every set in that damn trial is useful)
-Good OST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtoPL1yjHHE
-Ember

Not the best chapter but it was a really good one.

You're not beating the allegations

>>1976067
I still don't get why they invented sea sloads when regular sloads were already amphibious.
>>1976079
Yeah, the biggest issue with high isle is how ZOS lied about it being a political intrigue story and break from world ending cults only for it to quickly devolve into just that.

>>1975324
Not really. In most cases you will never run out of stamina while using magicka as your main resource.
Putting points into magicka as a magicka caster seems a better choice since it will keep you longer in the fight without having to replenish the bar.

I suppose this happens to every mmo, but I just feel like I've done everything in eso so I don't log in as often anymore. I've got several max level characters, I've done every trial and dungeon, I've got a good win rate in pvp, a few houses that are well decorated, etc. The same thing happened with WoW and swtor for me. I just did everything. I love these games and I love mmo's, but there comes a point where I'm satisfied with with "beating" it. I can go months without logging in, and then I'll just play the next story expansion when it comes out. I guess lots of people feel this way so it's nothing noteworthy. There's no real point to my post, just thinking.

I would say that eso has been overall fun for me. I started playing because it's been over 10 years since the last elder scrolls game and this was a in the meantime game, but as I played I enjoyed some of the characters and seeing parts of the world that aren't featured in a mainline game and various other positives, and I even got into the social aspect a bit and joined a few guilds a couple of which did meetings and rp and that sort of stuff. So it had something to offer that the mainline tes games don't. Seeing Summerset and Elseweyhr and those places that don't have a game has been quite enjoyable. I think eso is a good game overall.

It's a bit simplistic though, compared to a lot of other mmo's. I had to sit down and do number crunching and rotation memorizing and priority memorizing a lot more in WoW and swtor. Eso has fewer buttons and fewer moving parts in its gameplay. I think that's a good thing for casuals, but as a long time mmo player who did top raids and top tier pvp in those other mmo's it always felt a bit simple. Not inherently a bad thing, just an observation.

I look forward to romancing Naryu in the next update.

having to rely on other players to experience content is unironically the worst part of MMORPGs
fuck raids, and fuck dungeons that i can't solo, no way i'm playing with anyone ever again

Haven't played in a while saw on plebbit that devs talked about adding romance and reply types such as flirting joke etc. Are the replies in the old vanilla main story and will they be adding romance to that too?

>>1988047
they added that to this year's storyline. see (>>1972585)
and no, don't think they will revisit old content for any reason

Anons I'm a mainline SP TES fan and I've flirted a few times with the idea of trying ESO. Their famous cinematics were always amazing. I've heard both positive and negative things regarding its content (gameplay, plot, etc). Still my interest remains.

I watched one of those classic "is <MMO> worth playing in 2025?" and in short the guy explained that that the system is horizontal (I like that it's not a rat race) and the combat can become very floaty and spastic if you go for max DPS (though he also said that you don't have to other than the latest of game content).
Monetization was also a big con since you absolutely need to buy a sub for crafting bags and other QOL stuff according to the video.

And then I come here, skim the thread and find out that ESO could maybe have a few years of actual life ahead of it. Is it worth it to buy the Standard Edition to try it out since it's 5 euros in Steam atm, so dirt cheap? No investing big time and money yet.

>>1988260
It's a comfy single player MMO and you can get a lot of content out of that base game for 5 euros. If you're a lorefag too, it has some of the best lore reveals in any TES game.

Is there a point to having multiple characters besides crafting?

>>1988292
Your base class still counts for determining your scribing (Class Mastery) effect, and which Infinite Archive gear you can wear. Also mules.

>non-resetting dungeon selection
huh?
>story mode difficulty for trials and dungeons
it exists and it's called 'normal' difficulty

i just got the game for five bucks, are sneaky assassin type characters any good?

I'm one of the anons that said I'm returning after a few years, any recommendations for a melee "magplar" build, which skill lines from which classes to take that could work well?

>>1988579
>many dungeons (mostly the dlc ones) can't be completed without a tank
How many? I've soloed most DLC dungeons and if I didn't struggle alone I highly doubt I'd struggle with 3 other people with suboptimal roles.
Moreover, if I can enter pressure plate dungeons solo I don't see why the game wouldn't let me queue into tank dungeons with 4 dd and take my chances. Not that this doesn't already happen all the time due to fake tanks and healers.
>it exists and it's called 'normal' difficulty
Do you genuinely believe that a first-timer should be able to enjoy the quest, environments, voice lines and mechs at 3-11 other people's pace?

>>1988487
>an optional role-less queue
The game isn't healthy enough to split people up any further and 4DD vet dlc pugs would be a shitshow more often than not.
>non-resetting dungeon selection
We should have that, plus autoselect for active pledges.
>story mode difficulty for trials and dungeons
They should be reworked into vet solo arenas with a handful of new rewards and all mechs intact. So they could be a story mode, training tool, and new challenge for soloists all at once.

>>1988581
Stealth is only meaningful in PVP and Roleplaying against most NPCs, in PVE it serves no meaningful purpose. Now, the class that has stealth skills,night blade, is very good at reaching max damage right now but only the Assassination branch, which lacks the stealth skills, if you want to use it for hybrid builds.

there was a DK build that used the elf bane set + a ton of ult generation to allow permanent uptime on magma armor, but I looked up and they changed both morphs to not let you generate ultimate while it's up
I never used it back then but it was degenerate as fuck, you'd simply stack the status ailment vision to passively deal a ton of damage, and the vision to reduce ult costs and you'd just walk through the stages facetanking everything while waiting for DoTs to do their work
basically your score was limited only by your ability to stay on the computer before passing out from exhaustion/ having a power outage/ losing internet connection

What's the lore reason for Apocrypha being more inviting than it did in Skyrim?

>>1993573
It isn't, there's just more of it to explore so you're able to find some quiet spots. If DB had been fully set in Apocrypha it'd probably have its own nerd town too. Most realms aren't 100% awful shitholes.

>>1993573
The section of Apocrypha in Skyrim is a kind of prison for Miraak. It's obliquely referred to in Quires Wind.

same thing for me, I spent a year of my life in ESO so it's not hard to feel done with it. I haven't been playing much for 3-4 years, on and off, trying new chapters and mechanics. I think the final straw was accountwide-ing achievements, there are 14 characters on my account and all separately leveled up, max crafting and skill points etc. All of that was invalidated in a stroke. Now with subclassing it matters even less, feels like those hours were for nothing.
If anything it gave me a life lesson to only play vidya if and when I enjoy it, I have no will or time to waste on grinding and rolling the dice.
After all all these digital products can be gone in a poof and real life players are left holding their dicks. Even more appliable to online and live service games.

What's the reason for this? Unemployment?

Just started ESO, never really played another mmorpg game. Picked a Nord DPS (Dragon Knight?) guy because it is most similar to what I played in other TES games; big nord axe guy.

I am enjoying it a lot, just feels like a sort of janky old elder scrolls game. I am not paying for a subscription yet so I guess maybe I'll run into the obvious issues soon, but right now it just seems great for comfy questing. All I want from an mmo is to explore and immerse myself in a cool fantasy world, loving this so far.

Mind you I only just left bleakrock island so what the fuck do I know

How many characters do you actively play as? For me having more than 4 is too much and apart from daily writs I've got no reason to make more

New player (~30 days since started eso), picked Templar for some reason (didn't realize any class can heal and tank, don't have to pick the "paladin" for that),bsubclassed into DK now. Playing tank right now, but realized I struggle with hard modes sometimes (lightning snake lady in Arx whatever just murders me)

1) Don't use any Templar skills anymore, just 1h+shield skills + DK fire chain + stunning circle from Fighter Guild for tanking and 2h skills + DK fireballs for damage when playing solo

2) gear is Embershield (buff self with HA) plus Tormentor (lets me use 1h charge to both taunt enemy and buff self). Used Imperium set before Embershield, but it was boring, since now I have to watch fire proc uptime

They're in the sub tho

>>1999829
Oh, right. Pay for ~10 bucks to own the DLC forever, or pay 15 bucks to own it for a month. I should definitely choose the second option. Makes sense.

>>1999834
Yeah it's called an mmorpg that's how it works.

>>1999770
>>1999834
ESO+ gets you all the DLC now, as well as some crowns so when your sub ends you can buy the one/s you like. That said there are occasional free ESO+ weeks, so you can see what it's like that way.

>>1999845
I doubt I'll complete entire chapter and farm all stuff over a single month, so its really not worth it.
Plus subscriptions are dumb. This isn't 2004.

I've been looking for interesting tanking sets, and stumbled upon Almalexia's Mercy. The heal ain't big, but it has short cooldown. What's the general opinion about it as a tanking set?
(weapons/jewelry, obviously, since its light armor)

>>1999902
Get your powerful assault for weapons/jewelry
1 medium piece for 5/1/1 tho

>>1999582
2/3 still do :^)

eso's MAU on steam is about 8.5k, do we know what the console and bethesdanet launcher numbers are?

Final Fantasy's is about 14.5k, but I'm not sure if they have console players or a second launcher.

I don't see any actual numbers for blizzard, but they claim wow has a MAU of 8 million. That's so crazy. Is the gap between first place and second/third place really so large? That can't be right.

>>1999974
No way WoW has 8 million.
It was 10 millions at its peak, years ago, at a time where MMOs were the balls, and when WoW was basically THE mmo.
No way it has nearly that amount at current day and age. Hell, it fell to like two million during WoD, IIRC, you don't recover from that.
Sounds like bullshit to me.

So let me get this straight.
The class called NECROMancer was not released as part of the chapter called NECROM, which instead had a different dark scholar?
What kind of idiotic decision-making is that?

>>2000030
>Orcrest dungeon
>No resting orcs inside

Cyrodiil is a waste of resources. Its an always empty pointless map of humongous size.
Devs should just carve it up into several PvE zones. Leave Imperial City as the PvP area, it will be enough for all ten PvP players

>>1999974
>I don't see any actual numbers for blizzard, but they claim wow has a MAU of 8 million

>>1999974
let me put it like this: if they still had 8 mil cows they'd be advertising it proudly
there's a reason why they aren't reporting player numbers anymore

>>1999954
>306 members
>half of those is likely zsj alts
Man this community is dead

>>2000105
pvp in general is a waste of resources

>>2000334
yeah it is
I've resorted to befriending local eso people and it's been weirder than 4chan people and that's saying something

Stars are just holes that Magna-Ge made when they left Mundus, through which light of Aetherium shines.
So how can constellations be people running around Nirn and getting beat up by 12 nobodies?

>>2001720
Birthsign powers show that the magic coming through those holes does take on consistent forms. Either that magic naturally coalesced into the celestials which the Nedes eventually bound with the stones, or the stones were used to artificially create celestials by supercharging mortals with a given constellation's type of magic. IIRC there's more signs pointing to the latter but they don't explicitly confirm it.

Name a cooler character, I'll wait

He doesn't seem very cool at all actually.

I think making Molag Bal a humanoid was a mistake.
It would have been hilarious if he was just a sphere.

Jesus Christ, I decided to read some TES lore and its like that "mr incredible becomes uncanny" meme.
The more I read, the less I understand the whole thing.

>>2001720

>>2001794
It's fine it's mostly stupid bullshit that doesn't really matter.

>>2001819
You are stupid bullshit that doesn't really matter.
TES lore is ART!

>normally play tank
>am too tired and drunk to focus past few days
>decide to queue as DPS for dungeons and trials, despite not having DPS gear
>feel real guilty in advance, due to not being a proper DPS
>somehow am not the worst DPS of the group even in vet dungeons and trials

Jesus christ, what are these idiots running? How can you let a dude in hp/armor gear outdamage you?

>>1948681
What's the problem? I can scribe a tanking skill even if my class doesn't give me one, I can get a ton of shields and defensive buffs from Cleave and other sources.
All I lose is some armor from a shield.

>>1968997
Romance would be cool.
I'd totally wife the dark elf assassin chick you meet in some quests. The one who suddenly gets shy when you tell her she looks good in a dress.

>>1956019
>Do you think they're goblins or something?
No, goblins have some semblance of civilization and intelligence.

>>1988260
5 euros is a cup of coffee. You'll get more fun out of this game than out of cup of coffee.
I've been playing without sub with no problem. Its easy to get bags and bank to the comfortable size where you don't really need the crafting bag.

>>2001880
i've met 3 different players who only used light attack the entire run, no skills/proc whatsoever

Do khajiit meow or roar?
I.e. are they considered small cats or large cats, biologically?

>>2002009
both

>>1981248
"I don't remember what class I am, because I only use weapon/guild skills, since everything my class offers is trash"

>>2002025
Bit silly to pick it then

What's new?

>people above are worried about Tamriel running out of space

TES canonically has some sort of time travel.
They can make zones set in different times, with explanation that the Vestige, being a soulless abomination, is the only one who can freely travel in time.
BAM, can reuse literally every zone with some small changes as same zone in different time. Let us experience all mainline TES games as a Vestige. Participate in the battle of the Red Mountain, witnessing activation of the Numidium.
Maybe even several variations, since it was a Dragon Break.
Imagine a dragon break trial, where you choose which version of the history you play out.

I want to play ranged DPS, but I don't want to use bows or staves, since I'm not a fairy.

This game needs javelins or some shit for strength-themed ranged physical combat, as opposed to agility-themed bows.
Throwing axes maybe.

>>2001999
a tale as old as time

>>2002086

Every time I visit someone's house in ESO or see a screenshit of one in here, I am fighting an almoat irresistible urge to re-download Conan Exiles and build and outfit a house with ten times more freedom and hundred times greater furniture variety than in ESO.

>>2002072
You know, this explains a lot.
Was tanking veteran City of Ass II the other day, and our party got stuck right after the portal, where there are constantly spawning dremoras, because the Fey'ishas couldn't kill one before another spawned. Except they weren't wearing heavy armor, because healer was working overtime to keep their asses from going down

>think subclassing will save my shitty alts
>28 skill points to borrow one (1) line for just 3 skills and 4 passives
>main has skill points out the ass
>main also feels good to play without subclassing
Fuck you, I'm not buying your skyshard packs

>>2002139
Greed is a deadly sin, mate

We can already change two out of three skill lines.
Just let us change our class altogether, devs! I'll gladly give up the last skill line of Templar to become a better class!

>>2002072
Look, its not her fault, okay? She only has enough stamina for a single arrow spray once in a while because most of her points are in magicka, to use these really cool skills that don't work because devs are undermanned (the company needs more destruction staff, or something)

>>2002072

he's saying ESO's lead designer called out Asmon out of nowhere on twitter and starts spewing random ad hominem on the roachman, literal nothing burger

damn, you guys got banished to /vm/? anyways, I've played your game a couple times. the furthest I got was lvl 40 something a few years back, don't remember what I played. priest-like class?

I would like to try your game but I have questions. is it still necessary to do that janky autoattack animation cancel shit for DPS? are stam/magick classes still basically the same shit of every class using the same weapons and weapon skills? every time I tried playing all magick classes for example dual wielded destruction staves and mashed auto attack all day. super gay and extremely boring. i'm typically only into immersive exploring and raids so hating the combat is an instant turnoff for me

>>2002899
>MMO dev gets on the bad side of the King of MMOs
What's the worst that could happen?

the hottest female characters i've seen are argonians, followed by khajiit

>>2003003
Female saxhleel have gay alien skulls, I don't know what it is about them but they look uncanny and less lizardly than the males

>>2002912
>is it still necessary to do that janky autoattack animation cancel shit for DPS?
Yes and no. Unfortunately the people that like weaving are numerous/vocal enough that ZOS is scared to fix it so that garbage is probably staying until EOS. However, they're also well aware that it sucks and have been introducing various workarounds. Heavy attack builds have gotten a lot of support, and the newest class is designed around channeled abilities instead of weaving.
>are stam/magick classes still basically the same shit of every class using the same weapons and weapon skills?
Yep.

>>2003003
Idk man those female bosmer activate something in the primal part of my brain

Please tell me crafting is on the list of systems they are planning to update

>>2003556
only the devs would be able to answer your question and I don't think they browse this website

Onslaught or Dawnbreaker? If Dawnbreaker, which morph?
For general PvE content.

I fell for the summoner multiclass meme. The bear despawns if you swap weapons unless you have the bear on both of your bar's ult slots. I think I liked my normal templar subclasses overall better.

>>2003622
Better not use summoning in current legal climate, mate.

>half-dead thread
>in-game chat is also mostly dead
>people don't really react to anything, neither questions nor jokes

Why are ESO players so sociophobic?

>>2003643
>socialising in an mmo
9th grade was 20 years ago man you have to let go

Not saying hello or hi or some variation thereof when a dungeon group forms should result in an auto-kick.

>>2003679
Cozy.

>>2003679
what tapestry is that, is nice

Are khajiit supposed to be pajeet?

>>2003706
pretty sure they're just gippos

>>2003706
>>2003741
No they're south east asian. They all live here.

I love scribing.
We really need more grimoires.
There need to be at least 2 grimoires per weapon/guild (including undaunted), and at least one grimoire per class - ideally one per skill line though.
Armor grimoires would be cool too, but I can't imagine any armor skills.

>>2003741
not really, or at least romanticized gippos, but even that is far off
the only thing they have in common is stealing and selling stuff desu, real gypsies are extremely loud, have no dignity, are ugly as sin, smell like rotten food, sweat and cum, breed like rabbits to get government money through theirs spawns (who repeat the cycle), despise working and live either in unfinished houses or nowhere at all
the rich ones tend to clean themselves up and live in houses that look like someone's perception of wealth, are uppity as fuck, cause drama and trouble, but otherwise share all other traits with the poverty gypsies

in fact the only people who draw a parallel between the two are those who never had to share a city/town/village with those creatures called gypsies
i wouldn't make comparisons in the first place since this is a form of escapism, so why would i want to be reminded of gypsies of all people? unless of course the devs make it extremely obvious (i.e warcraft goblins = jews)

khajiit are just funny moon cats and leave it at that

Nasty, gross post.

>>2003784
but true.

>the game is blatantly pay-to-win
>there's nothing to actually win
>you get a DLC which has trial or dungeon with better gear
>by the time you get the better gear you don't need it, because you have already conquered the trial/dungeon multiple times
I don't know how to feel about this.
On one hand I hate pay-to-win.
On the other hand it doesn't matter at all in practice.
This is weird.

>>2003793
So it's not pay to win then

Someone is always causing wacky trouble.

>>2003920
Is the Skyrim UI a mod or addon of some sort?

>>2003920
Don't bash it till you try it.

>>2003706
They were created by an Indian dude (Vijay Lakshman) so kind of. But they have strong Southeast Asian influence too. Especially in the architecture.

You just know....

Also, when something says "increases your critical damage by 3%" (such as several of the skill line passive nodes throughout the game), does that also increase critical healing?

>>2003932
I don't use any mods or addons. I use a controller, which has a different ui than m+kb. But you can still use m+kb with the controller ui which is interesting.

That's strange. What a weird story.

>>2004114
Well google says that crit chance is applied to both spell damage and spell healing, but that critical damage and critical healing amount are separate. So the stats go from being intertwined to being not intertwined.

>dungeons and raids give metric tons of potions and poisons
What's the point of Alchemy in this game?

>>2003951
>lakshman
Indian jew? That's something new.

Is there some sort of way to save bar presets? I want to be able to switch between two distinct two-bar loadouts

I think there are blueprints somewhere around the Red Mountain

You know what this game needs? More provisioning ingredients.

We will bring down his wall

How do you find RP in this game? Fell's Run is not an enjoyable experience.

Why did they make a tropical island chapter without beachwear?

We used to be able to do that. I think you can figure out why they took that away.

Zos really hates making anything that isn't generic armor that fits human skeletons.

10 minutes into this shit and I already want to kill myself. I hope they leave game design to AI ASAP.

wow we just met

what is this event about?

what is this event about?

>>2010234
They added a new island a few patches ago but it had a wall of souls preventing people from entering. This event is when we get to go inside. it's a community progress event but the individual missions are listed in the events tab

>>2010234
something about bringing down a wall

I haven't played in years, probably stopped a little after Elsewhere. How's the PVP scene nowadays, still shit?

>>2010265
