Well, even if you hate PvP, several of the DLC dungeons are located in the imperial city DLC pack (white gold tower and imperial city prison). If you are a healer, you'll want spell power cure out of WGT, and if you are a tank you might want leeching out of ICP, and scathing mage out of ICP may be making a comeback as a good DPS caster set.
>>
they're not going to remove Vivec's death stare in the expansion, right?
>>
>>175855916
Alright, thanks pal. I was looking mainly at the Thieves Guild/Dark Brotherhood DLC packs, since I'm playing a Nightblade at the moment (heard they're getting destroyed in morrowind patch though, JUST). Are those questlines good/better than the base game?
>>
>>175855938
Sort of, it's a lot more homoerotic.
>>
>>175855938
They should remove the death stare of vampires first
also do skins like the one from vMOL override the visual vampire effects?
>>
>>175856054
Yes, sadly.
>>
>>175856045

Thieves guild and DB are very similar quest lines, the main difference is stealing vs. shanking. But, both have their charm, and can offer ways to make decent money. With the thieves guild, you can do their repeatables and get large reward bags (doing ac action, like breaking into a lockbox or pickpocketing NPC's in 3 separate zones) that can drop motif pages, which sell quite well. DB quests have similar repeatables, either shanking people in towns or specific NPC's.

Then there are heists and sacraments, higher level missions. They involve you going into an instance and completing several objectives for a score. COmplete all of the optionals and main objective, get the best reward.

Finally, the skill lines from both guilds offer good bonuses. Thieves guild lets you sneak and steal better, DB lets you shank and get way better. The DB passive that reduces the aggro radius of enemies while you are on horseback lets you farm the bosses of certain dungeons in 20 minutes or less solo, depending on build.

I've hardly been into the imperial city. I went in once on Blackwater Blade and kept getting rekt by elite mobs.

What's the deal with it? Are there more people in on the 50+ campaigns? Or is it something you need friends to really manage?
>>
>>175856467

People go into IC for two reasons.

1. To farm the mobs for telvar stones, which can be traded for specific gear, consumables, cosmetics, etc.

2. To farm the people who are farming the telvar stones, if you kill them, you get some AP and half of the stones they are carrying.
>>
>>175856623

So nobody plays it for fun like the rest of Cyrodiil?
>>
>>175856841

I do, and I have a blast. You can go in there with a modified PvE build to fight the mobs, get motifs and key fragments, open the vault doors for a chance at good loot, and occasionally (or frequently) meet other players. There are also some crafting stations located in the imperial city that are pretty powerful.

People still have alts, but now you have to run them through 100x as much shit to pray for legendaries so that can be your main. At launch top guilds had players make up to like 5 versions of the same class and multibox because you needed X legendary to be BiS.

You can't stop alts.
>>
>>175858070
Sure you can, mmos didn't used to have this sort of thing, people had alts, sure, maybe fun little ones to mess around with, shifting mains was a huge deal, something people only did after a lot of consideration. This both insured class diversity because nobody expected you to make a new character with every patch, because by the time you did get back to where you were, many patches would have come and gone and the balance would be totaly different anyway. People played a character, not a game. It was about being the strongest X you could be, not just reading whats currently OP and shifting all your assets to that.

The problem is illustrated in your post i think, its an item based progression system, with a definite end goal that you get to.
Any system with a final objective is going to have to allow people to reach that objective, and if some people reach it, then everyone else is going to want to reach it too and bitch if they cant.

Now imagine if instead of playing to obtain something specific, you played to simply become stronger. No ultimate goal, but rather always a fairly easy to obtain short term goal. Your effectiveness was measured in how good you were at progressing, not where you were in the progress.

In the system you just described having multiple alts was actually a way to reach the ultimate goal faster, thats oposite of what im talking about.

Currently one can claim that total time /played in a game (including time out of game researching the games mechanics) make you a stronger player. You understand the game more, you get better at it. Characters used to grow in experience as the player grew in experience. You gained gain experience and your character gained exp and the time spent by you was mirrored by your character. Now you wear characters like a piece of equipment, and the characters themselves only progress via equipment, things that are discarded when no longer needed, instead of experience that always stays with you.

Ive decided to give this game a fresh, new go, since I bought the game at launch.

Only real gripe I have with it is the combat, is there a way to make it feel less spammy and floaty? Atleast bows feels really shitty to me. Any recomendations on what class to play?
>>
Are group delves similar to public dungeons in difficulty?
I don't have a group to run with but I am interested in at least getting these skyshards for now.
>>
>>175859025
>its a "I want this MMO to be something completely and fundamentally different, why won't the developer just rehaul their entire game!

Meta theorycrafters will never stop crunching the numbers to find the 1% best of the best and since its a group effort they generally converse.

Their builds filter down to people who have no clue how to play but see that the best of the best players recommend X so they pick X.

X becomes overpopulated so people who don't play X feel out of the loop and pressured to roll X leading to the company nerfing X/buffing Y to compensate which means theorycrafting now discuss build Y.

ESO is already in a great place with a gear cap resulting in a horizontal gear progression system that makes gear from a variety of activies viable depending on your build and playstyle. Generally trials gear is the best but not always the case in every scenario, as we are seeing as well with Morrowind they are not wiping the slate clean and forcing everyone to get to a new gear cap that only includes new gear.

You want a sandbox MMO, go play a sandbox MMO.
>>
>>175859078
And it doesnt matter because you are still the most powerful _your class_ in the game and people are awed when you pass them in town and you can still kill the vast majority of everything by looking at it, and at this point power is more academic anyway.

The proper mmo is like an endless DBZ powerup episode. I say this as someone who hates DBZ, but power is intoxicating and you can craft a game to give that sense of power, ive played them. But no, people would rather log onto alts and do dailies and then circlejerk on discord or whatever

>just rehaul their entire game
It wouldnt be, theyve already taken steps in my direction, it would just be continuing down the path. Im not asking for radical mechanical changes, just changing some exp curves and taking one half of the VR system and combining it with one half of the CP system. See, its all stuff thats already been in game, just arranged a little different.

>filter down
sure optimal is always known, but the point is its impossible to chase optimal if you require progression to take enough time.

>sandbox
thats a buzzword, i think only mmo hipsters think its a good idea because the kind of shit sandbox proponents drone on about is nothing like the way the mmos they claim to be trying to 'recapture' were like.

Depends. In trials there are mechanics that if ignored will wipe most of the group or all players. In vet dungeons it may just instakill one person, and the other 3 can finish it.

anything that makes you sneak better, also the passives that increase daily fence use.

One tip is to take the white items you find and launder them, while selling green+. You can turn around and sell a laundered item to a merchant for what it cost you to launder it, this will help you level up the skill line faster.

daggerfall is a good city for robbing houses for lockboxes. The inn in reapers march is a good single building for just getting lots of lesser items stolen.

Dont bother pickpocketing

If you do the thieves guild stuff the tip board repeatable quests can be cycled, just abandon and get a new one if its one you dont like.

Is there anything to do in the Morrowind expansion? Got an invite into the beta but it's boring as hell. The nostalgia doesn't work for me even though I loved TESIII.

I feel like you're being facetious. Are you? I know there are a ton of side-quests around the map, but if they're like the main game, they're just busy-work to help you level up. Nothing in the beta matters so I ignored most of them.

I've heard this line that Morrowind is empty and not as good as Wrothgar a couple times now. I can't say myself because I didn't want to spoil myself on any of the sidequests. The MQ for me was disappointing, but the Telvanni quest was good. The world felt empty to me, but I purposely ignored all side quests so that's not really indicative of anything, is it? That's all I've done in the beta.

I like it because it punishes min/maxing faggots who daren't compromise MUH NUMBERS by making them wear dumb shit.

But then, nearly all the armour in this game looks like fucking ass, and I hope whoever designed it all got fired. So many sets with that same dumb "plate outline" theme going on. There's only the Thieve's Guild leathers, the Breton style, and a couple of sets from the DLCs that look good at all.

How the fuck do I git gud at PVP? How do some people seem to just have these fucking uber builds where they demolish you in 2-3 seconds and you have no time to react, whilst still being nearly impossible to even hurt at all?

I'm probably way too casual for this. I'm used to FPS games and stuff where your abilities against other players entirely depends on reaction time and precision; this seems to have a lot more going on that I can't even start to grasp.

>>175888654
Don't use health enchants.

Light armor magicka is very squishy but capable of very high damage as well, but you really want to hide in a zerg so you don't get blown up. And use harness magicka+healing ward as well.

The two top MMOs on the market at the moment, hands down. This is easier to pick up and play, easier to have a small session and do something useful. Easier access to low commitment pvp. Eve is just full of sandbox goodness. Similar build depth for various tasks as this game. You can probably play both, as eve has an offline character advancement mechanism.

How important are food/potions etc in PvP?

I don't like the idea of relying on consumables to make my character effective but looking at the buffs they provide they seem pretty damn important.

I mean I just find it kills immersion a bit to consider that your character is running around the battlefield stuffing roast legs of pork down his throat every ten minutes and chugging potions like sambuca shots.

Actually I don't think I'm cut out for MMO gaming, I want to play a fantasy game not a spreadsheet, fuck man.
>>
>>175902657
Foods is cheap, and lasts an hour. Everyone should use it.

Potions are only for top tier tryharding.
>>
>>175902657
Very. But food is very cheap and they last for two hours so it should be no biggie.

You will do just fine using the random potions you find in dungeons so it's not a necessity spend thousands of gold each time you want to join some pvp action.

For a magicka character, the increase to recovery rate alone is worth it. With red frothgar (max health + magicka recovery drink) my recovery is 3k+, I can literally spam skills all day every day and not run dry, really helpful for areas where I have to hit a shield quite a bit. The extra fire damage can be assuaged with a single gold fire resistance rune on your armor.

>>175908653

Are you a minmaxing faggot? Because if the answer is yes it's a waste of money. Imperials make pretty good stamina builds, but aren't as good as other races.

You can do the other factions content when you hit max level anyway. Only real reason to play them is you don't want to be a faggy Elf or furry.

I find it incredibly Ironic that a series that stopped giving a shit what race you play in the main franchise, has a mmo where race is one of the most important choices you can make.

>>
>>175908945
Not really a minmaxing faggot, but I'd have to pay $30 for 2 months of sub to have enough for the Imperial Upgrade.

So which of the other 3 races would you say is best for a traditional Warrior class? Or is there just very little difference between those races?

So you're saying there's no difference in factions aside from quests/who you can PvP with? No specific bonuses and shit?

Orc you limp wristed cum stain.

>>175909514
The Sub is more worth it for the craft bag. Unlimited inventory for everything thats a crafting material. And trust me friend. There are a fucking LOT of crafting materials.

Imperial race is ok. Stamina Templar is getting fucked and thats what they were best at.

Orc bretty gud for Tanking. Leveing wise they get Heavy Armor xp a bit faster and they learn Craftinga bit faster too. Endgame wise they have a nice buff to Health and Stamina pools as well as a substantial buff to Health Recovery.

Nords are kinda the same. They also get a pretty big Health Recovery buff as well as a decent amount of Max Health and a fairly useless 2k resistance to Cold/Frost Damage
Maxed out they get a flat Damage reduction of 6% which might be their best trait.

Argonians are pretty cool they get xp with Restoration Staves a bit faster but also have 50% extra swim speed. In the grand scheme its not that important but it just feels better than anyone else in the water. Their Potion passive lets them recovery a decent bit of Health/ Magicka/ Stamina with any kind of Potion they drink.
They get an ok Buff to Max health and smaller one to Max Magicka but also a small resistance to poison nd Disease damage. Those two types are very popular among physical damage dealers.

These things only really matter to the Endgame of the endgame. For leveling Purposes you can play however you want. Especially if its your first Char. In that case thow all of this out and just do whatever the fuck looks cool.
>>
>>175909514

>So which of the other 3 races would you say is best for a traditional Warrior class? Or is there just very little difference between those races?

Let me just say a few things. I'm not an expert and it seems to matter more if you are going to use stamina (weapon skills) or magic (class skills) to do the lions share of your damage.

If you are going to use a lot of dragonknight/templar abilities Dunmer and High faggots are the best. If you are going stamina Orc and Redguard are fine (wood elves and furries are decent too thanks to stamina reg passives and weapon crit chance).

>So you're saying there's no difference in factions aside from quests/who you can PvP with? No specific bonuses and shit?

Nope. None at all. However this comes into my saying how good racials tend to be. I'm sure there's some faggots here who say play what you want or something and that's fine to an extent. However the racial passives in this game are fucking enormous by modern MMO standards. A high elf who goes full WIZARD mode is going to have something like a 15% or so dps bonus over an orc or some shit. Which means (and I'm assuming here) that the dominion probably whoops the shit out of the other factions thanks to three really good races being group together, opposed to 1 good and two meh like the other factions have.

Can be done. I play a pvp character of my own build and it does fine. Usually you will come up with similar sections of the 'meta' builds even if you work it out yourself, because the strongest parts of different builds are often shared.

The guide says to play DPS while leveling.
At what point do you stop "leveling"? CP160?
>>
>>175913856
CP600
at CP160 you can start to farm your equipment

>>175914939
So tanking is only encouraged at CP600?
How long does it take to get there?
>>
What's a more fun melee class, Redguard or Orc?
>>
>>175915189
Not the same person and I don't know what the beginners guide said but you should have enough skillpoints as you level to get both dps and tanking skills.
>>
>>175915189
nah, you can already tank a lot of shit at CP160 with a decent build
only the hardest veteran dungeons in hard mode and veteran trials need max CP or near max

you should play DPS between level 1-50 so it doesn't take you an eternity to level up, if you really want to tank then queue as a tank as soon as you hit 50

If you want sustain roll a magblade, you'll never have your huge 15k burst down, but you'll always have plenty of magicka. That's the kind of trade-off you're supposed to have to make, and these crybabies just want to have it all.

Magblades get a ton of magicka return from assasination skills, cripple, etc too though. Run vampire and a regen focussed set, don't even have to bother with light armour. Heavy armour compliments siphoning better anyway.

Posting screenshot of your creation isn't any worse than memeposting or posting 10th identical complaint about nerfs and such, isnt posting about the game what the generals are for.

No matter if its showing off your creation, or how awesome deeps your character does, or getting salty about changes and so forth.

Personally i just really like character creation and like to show them (im the avatarfagger)

Self buffed, maintaining a magicka pool of about 50% for the last burn. BSW, willpower jewelry, gold sharpened no set staves. Getting better, need to practice on weaving in light attacks more, and making sure I keep my abilities up. Eruption and blockade were up most of the time, but I let flames of oblivion and elemental drain down a couple times. Still need the second passive in vamp, but even with magicka regen food sustain is fairly difficult. I can go balls to the wall DPS for about 40 seconds, popping my potion for magicka/regen/spellpower after my first rotation and get around 23K DPS, but after that its heavy attack city.

I'm talking about PVE and PVP, but I'm not talking about DPS.

Magblade build suits a healtank type build much better, although you can still put out respectable damage if you use your stealth crit alongside merciless resolve (when it procs, stealth, let rip, boom) and impale.

>b-but muh DPS

Not aimed at you, Anon, but that's the main problem with this game as I see it right now. People seem to have forgotten other roles exist because you can just brute force DPS and why bother with anything else.

That dude got a pretty sweet looking set.

I need to unlock me some decent dark dyes, all I have so far are pasty greys. Even "obsidian black" is more of a dark blue, and if I try to use any of my reds it just goes pink.

How am I supposed to be a master edgelord with this pathetic selection.

Oh and aslo: Where do I grind for sweet spell damage/magicka recovery jewellery?
>>
Is there a free trial for this game?
>>
>>175953494
Complete the main quest. You get Coldharbour Black or something like that which is the blackest of the blacks.
>>
Should I even try grinding out Spriggan's to go with a NMG 5/5 on swap with agility jewelery?
It would be Spriggan's front and NMG back all Precise and Divines, or should I do the same but swap Spriggan's with Hunding and go Sharpened Daggers?
Or should I just neglect this idea entirely and go full one or the other?
This will be my placeholder gear until I can find a guild to run SO with and get my Twice Fang and VO gear.
Reading many different guides I have seen a lot of divison on which set to use, just had the idea of the 2 5 piece though I don't know if that's a good idea and if I'd benefit more from dropping Agility.

Outlaw helmet, legs, boots, and daggers (crafted)
Fiord's arm cops, belt, rings, and necklace (zone/delves/etc drop, Eastmarch) because i love sanic sprinting
Ra Gada jack for wings
Xivkyn bracers for claws, but only at like 50+ or something, it's weird
and an Outlaw bow on the backbar because it has a sweet-ass triple-pronged arrow

>>175954675
CP changes in morrowind means that people will be putting points into armor pen, which means armor pen sets may become worse for PvE.

3 Agi is worth 4 set pieces.

Personally I think you'd be fine with 5 NMG 3 Agi 2 random sharp daggers. You know the difference between 3 Agi and 3 VO is like 1%?
>>
>>175956693
Currently 5 NMG/Hundings, 3 Agi, 2 random sharp daggers is good. Then again, who knows because precise may become good in Morrowind.
>>
>>175956693
I should probably mess around more in the PTS to see the changes. I need to up my undaunted and get a monster set anyway so wasting time to get a 5/5 swap set could be better spent I guess.

>>175956693
>which means armor pen sets may become worse for PvE.
Would it mean that or mean that the armor sets are still good but the weapon trait should be precise now?

>>175959160
Maybe. Or maybe sharpened weapons will still be used but people will use leviathan instead.

Sounds like you have very similar edges to me Anon. It's harder when your build is heavy armour though, a lot of them just look too bulky instead of sleek and stylish.

I already have outlaw legs and asassin's league hood, but I can't afford motifs yet so the best I can do for the rest of the pieces is Breton and Redguard shoulders. Doesn't look too bad, in fact out of all the chest pieces I am struggling to find one I like better than the plain Breton one, but I still need better colour options.

Guess I have an incentive to go play the main quest now, at least.

I've previewed most of the armours with the armourer plugin; I'll probably end up going for either Xivkyn, Ra Gada (lolwings) or Mercenary.

I think have just become kind of attached to the big thigh plates on the Breton one, though, over the length of time I've been wearing it.
>>
>>175965375

I know what you mean. I've been wearing the covenant scout cosmetic armor, which is essentially breton medium with a hood, on my vampire magblade. I'm almost level 50, and then I can equip the CP160 armor and weapons I've been holding for that character, but I've grown pretty attached to the look of the armor. It looks good, dyes well, and it just looks practical.

i almost mentioned Xivkyn again but wasn't sure if that would be too bulky. i bet you could make a Ra Gada chest work with the Xivkyn, though. a lot of things can be made to fit decently with some creative dyeing. and there are always guild tabards, otherwise

No need to be apologetic when talking about the center of gravity on melee weapons. It's important to ground familiar elements like medieval-style weaponry in reality, unless specifically stated otherwise like: "Magic Axe of Uncanny Proportions and Weight"

Very silly to say when talking about MMO weapons in general, but in this specific context talking about Orsimer weaponry relative to the other racial weapon designs, completely justified.

That bright and shining age where people drew on the wall in caves, only for archaeologists to find and say "Shit these primitives couldn't even draw gazelle..."?

Or perhaps the age of the pyramids, the age of the seven great wonders, where thousands of slave labourers would die working, in order to satisfy a great ruler's vanity.

Or perhaps you mean the great age of science and discovery, where mankind deciphered the inner workings of the universe, deduced the mechanics of matter itself, and then used this knowledge to vaporise hundreds of thousands of innocents.

Humanity is already far beyond the dusk, son.

It's an anon in his own personal dusk, because he is probably a basement dweller whose entire social existence revolves around digital interactions, maybe even purely from anons and randoms in MMOs, and he was struck by a "realization" of how "meaningless" it is, because of his age and upbringing was JUST late enough to subconsciously think these types of interactions are "not real", and fails to condition his brain into the symbiotic relationship with technological and anonymous cohesiveness this species is slowly forming, akin to neurons growing in a human brain.

About 4k less than my magdk. Doesn't help that I am wearing julianos when the magdk was wearing BSW. Also only have willpower jewelry, gold sharpened non-set staves, and I need the last 5 - 10 points in my class trees to finish getting the passives.

I also didn't keep cripple up nearly as much as I should have, as well as grim focus (still need to morph it) and siphoning attacks. As soon as I started, I realized I didn't have any potions on me, so I could have gone harder if I did. Also need to get better at weaving on this guy, still getting used to it.

Probably. I could see them taking steps to make sure people get 25k - 28k DPS, and then build their content around that. I mean, with horizontal progression, you can't just make enemies have more health, then it'd take 10 minutes or more for a boss fight. That is getting back to old EQ, where 15 - 20 minutes of fighting a raid boss hoping not to die was normal. So, if they can't increase health, all they can do is introduce mechanics.

are restoration builds outside of templars viable?

if so, I have 3 questions:

b) if you need the resto staff to play your role, how do you deal damage in solo play? do the class abilities work with any weapon, including staves?

1)It's the only other main way to heal OTHERS besides a a skill called Vigor(Alliance war skill line)
2)You get 2 weapon slots. So front bar would be Main Damage or whatever else youre doing and backbar would be Restoration staff. The only thing that wont work ona weapona re other weapon skills. So I can use Vampire,Dawns Wrath, Restoring Light, Light Armor, and Restoration Staff skills all on the same bar. Or I can fill it with all Restoration skills. Its up to the player
3)Light Armor usually is best for MAgicka buffs. Since you NEED MAgicka to be a healer. Wardenfell might change that with STamina Heal skill but those are exclusive to the Warden.
>>
>>175998203
Alright anon, thank you
>>
>>175992836
Not a big threat, but they were really annoying, especially early game when weapon skills are low and many attacks would miss (unless you make your main weapon skill a major or minor skill, in which case you would probably level up too fast and get crud for attribute modifiers).

>>175996786
a) Generally, yeah. If you want to be a healer, then you'll be using a restoration staff.
b) In solo play, you're not playing a role, so you don't really need to run around with a restoration staff. You'll want to level up the restoration staff's skill line and skills, but remember that turning in quests gives a bunch of experience, so if you switch before you turn in, you can level up stuff that you otherwise aren't using. More importantly, remember that you unlock a second weapon bar, at level 15 I think, so that gives you plenty of options.
And yes, class abilities don't care about what weapon you have equipped.
c) Very early game, it doesn't really matter much. Later on when you've got skill points to spare, you'll want light armor for the magicka passives its skill line provides.

Well in thieves guild you get additional skill tree with stuff like better prices for fenced goods and so forth.

high level pickpocket skill also helps get some extra goodies, first you go through their pockets then you stab with blade of woe (if you have access to dark brotherhood) for extra goodies from their corpse.

I personally like to sub rather than buy dlc, i get them all and the crafting bag which rocks real hard.
>>
>>176004445
Legerdemain will increase the quality of goods dropped.

Dark Brotherhood DLC will give you Blade of Woe.

Most NPCs have three items.

It's shared between ALL characters so even if you level alt all the mats you gather go into it right away and can be used on any other character.
It also saves you a lot of space in bank for stuff like items with traits for you to research

Some magicka-based skills can be morphed into stamina-skills. Same with Sorcs and the others, which is why Stamsorc and Stamplar are a thing.

Thinking about trying out sorc healing when morrowind hits since templars will become a little less mandatory. Should I got with mystic orb or energy orb? I feel like I'm probably going to have enough healing with healing springs, mutagen, combat prayer, and twilight matriarch, so I get the impression the resource recovery from mystic orb might be a better idea. On the other hand, I'm not sure whether I'm expected to pick energy orb just because I'd be a healer. I think I'm already overhealing as is.

That said I don't actually like orbs. They move too fast and have too short a range for the synergy prompt to show up and register so you have to chase them sometimes. Templar's stationary shards are kind of more convenient.

Morrowind is a "chapter" but in reality it has less content then Orsinium and costs twice the amount.

It's a shitty cash grab with lifeless cities, empty environments and boring dungeons that you've already seen on the mainland before.

Telvanni towers have brick foundations, and all use the same architecture, the same trap the rest of the world falls in - if you've seen one building you've seen them all.

Mob spawns are sparse, and most of the overland map is covered by impassible terrain.

It's by any comparison, worth a DLC price, but not even a good DLC at that. If you're looking for PvE content from it - wait it out.

Also, subbing is for cucks
>>
>>176023251
The sorc clutch heal should actually be better than templars now because they have to sort of cone aim it. Curious to see whether that bumps sorc healing up at all, but I suspect you're right, temps will still be better because their sustain assist is still better.
>>
>>176023251
What kind of content are we talking about? If dungeons and vet dungeons, just grab combat prayer + twilight + lighting wall of elements. The rest can be whatever you want.
>>
Tried to get into this game but couldn't, I think I built my character poorly. Do you basically have to choose either weapon DPS or magic DPS? If I'm a Templar and I want to go the Aedric Spear line, do I just dump all my points into magicka thus making my weapon damage useless?
>>
>>176027557
Yeah, mostly dungeons. My pc actually can't handle trials, so even if I wanted to do those I couldn't until I got better cpu.
>>
>>176028137
Yep, pretty much.
They're trying to support hybrid characters with some of the crafted sets in morrowind, but in general that shit can't work with the system they've got going which encourages stacking all your shit in one resource pool. There's some skill morphs that let you use stamina instead of magicka for certain skills.
>>
>>176028137
Depends on the skills. Puncturing Strikes and Piercing Javelin can be morphed into stamina abilities utilizing weapon damage.
>>
>>176029171
Ok I didn't know that. So if I want to build my Templar for stamina I can take puncturing strikes or piercing javelin, and still have good weapon damage too? That sounds right up my alley, what else would I want to do for that build since the rest of the Aedric Spear line is useless for a stamina build?
>>
I want to be a Sorc but not sure what role/weapons/resource to use yet. Is Dunmer a good race to pick for this?

>>176030487
>What else would I want to do for that build since the rest of the Aedric Spear line is useless for a stamina build?

I wouldn't say useless. Sun shield uses magicka but scales after max health, the Crescent Sweep ulti do physical damage, and Luminous shards is a magicka ability but restores magicka and stamina when a buddy activates it.

Tamriel Foundry is great
http://tamrielfoundry.com/forum/classes/templar-class/

Magicka dragonknights use fire magic, and their skills are short range, so they are melee. Or, you can roll a stamina dragonknight and use a two hander, since twohander are getting a buff next patch. You'll use twohanded skill and class skills, some of which are morphed from fire to poison.

It's a small sample sure, but seems like this game has a pretty good community.

Also, does the game have a memory leak issue or something? After about an hour of playing my framerate stability slowly starts to descend, where FPS will drop to like 20-30 in cities where it previously did not. Restarting the game fixes it and brings FPS back up to a stable 60 again. What gives?

Daily crafting writs, why not. You can get decent rewards in the form of surveys and recipes, and at max level I think it's something like 6k gold a day.

>>176048210

Personally, I'd say just use what drops, deconstruct what you won't use. That'll let you level it while you level. Also, start researching as soon as you can, and put the points into the passives that reduce research time right away. With the passives, your 8th trait takes 21 days, 9th is 28. I'd suggest researching divines, training, impen, and study for armor first, and divines, sharpened, infused, and powered on weapons.
>>
>>176048210
just keep intricate drops and deconstruct them, keep your researching slots busy and invest in perks that expand research slots and reduce research times

Nothing, all self sufficient. The max tier of writs only call for three items each for blacksmithing, woodworking, and clothier. Also, the surveys that you get will give you a fuck ton of resources back. I do them on my crafter only, so I get the max tier of mats.

I unironically think that FFXIV is actually pretty good and at the very least is designed a lot more elegantly than TESO, while also having more stable servers. Shame about the community though. BDO is also very pretty and can eat quite a few hours just doing life-skill stuff, and even the grind is kind of enjoyable if only because blasting a huge mass of mobs as a wizard is pretty cool. That one's actually a single player game, though.

It's actually pretty ok. Huge community, many guilds. You might run into them by accident every now and then. Sometimes even in OOC moments you might find yourself with one foot in RP-zone just by the way you talk about things. I once got confronted by a templar in a wizard hat who only talked to me because I was also wearing a wizard hat, and we discussed spells, so in that way there is kind of something like what is referred to as walk-up rp. Quality of RP is usually alright, though often you sort of know what to expect just by what race people are playing. Dunmer are probably going to be assholes, khajiit will probably be a little snowflakey, argonians will be weird. All varies from person to person, but in general it's alright.

You'll find some interesting shit every now and then like people RPing as political figures being accompanied by guards wearing identical uniforms, so people put some effort into it. It's pretty cool sometimes. Pic related is from a little festival that happened some time back. There were a fuck-ton of people.

Here's a site with shit like an event calendar for public rp happenings you can attend if you like.
http://www.eso-rp.com/
Also their forums for guild recruitments.

So far, the only type of RPers I can't stand are play-house RPers. The kind who play pregnant mothers or fuckers who carry their babies around, and pretty much only talk or emote about their fucking invisible babbys or bellies. Shit just rubs me the wrong way.

That sounds appealing. I'm with you on the play-house RP. That's not my type of roleplay either. Where would I tend to find other roleplayers? At the moment, I'm starting off in Bleakisle and I'm entirely new to the game, so I don't know where to go or what to expect.

>>176056120
Yeah, and eso's music does get repetitive after awhile. I wish they'd put more into music, maybe even get some more bard songs going.
>No orcish warchants or battle ballads
>No Bosmer forest hymns
>No Khajiit moon yowling
>No event specific music
>No GoldCoast/Hews Bane pirate shanties
>No Argonian number station chants
>No Imperial war marches
>No songs mocking the other alliances

I prefer statsticks and vertical progression because I feel like I'm maxing out my character as much as possible, with horizontal progression and sets I just feel like I'm increasing my verstatility just for the sake of increasing it, without any tangible benefits

RPers are often in groups of some sorts, so it depends on the group. You could probably find people in taverns, but it would depend on the time of day or day of the week. According to the site I linked, there is an event in just an hour, though it's more of an Aldmeri Dominion event. You can probably attend anyway.
http://www.eso-rp.com/forum/m/9324623/viewthread/26969386-naad-skaraja-clanmother-sessions
There is also another weekly event tomorrow which might be more accessible to you, the Telvanni Tea House.
I haven't participated in either yet, but those two seem to be happening regularly, so it might as well be a good place to start.

Yeah, I do that sometimes as well. Especially for a dungeon like CoA1 that is easy (soloed it over 150 times to get the burning spellweave armor pieces that I needed in the right trait, it is probably one of the easiest dungeons to solo) you just want your key and maybe an armor drop, so you don't even bother with a tank and just burn everything.

I was in a little RP dinner party today. It was pretty cool.
They shit-talked ashlanders and talked about regular dunmer stuff while my seating neighbour and I started talking about how to prank an ordinator by animating the face on their helmets to talk back at them and making their gauntlets perform vulgar gestures. There were argonian and kahjiit slaves serving our meals. I had fun.

We should rp too, guys.

Not quite. Apparently we're now performing telvanni experiments on an argonian slave. Something that may or may not involve attempting to replicate the hist's transformative effects while mixing in sep and large snake poisons or something.

I have a question for console players:

Would you prefer to play on PC if you were able?

Just curious.
>>
>>176084830
Not really. I like having the console as the "game system". And the exclusive games/franchises I enjoy most are on my console of choice.

I would feel weird running Windows outside a VM on a PC after a decade of Linux too, even dual booted.
>>
>>176086446
I'm a fairly new player on console as well and I'm trying to convince myself to make the jump to PC.

I think I might actually miss area voice chat. I've chatted with quite a few people during groups and such. Also, I like the fact that everyone uses controllers even in PVP. I prefer using a controller, and I know I could use a controller on PC, I also know M/KB would be infinitely better.

I'm also not a fan of damage meters and the elitism that comes with them, which PC has and console doesn't.

I just don't know. The PC version has MUCH higher graphical fidelity and seems to be the best platform for endgame and long term play.

as a templar healer I should pick a weapon skill that uses magicka as a resource right? It's not worth it to pick a melee weapon and then spec into its tree, since it uses stamina, correct?

>>
>>176094803
correct
>>
>>176095216
alright, I have an additional question though, if you don't mind.
I'm on my 5th level Templar, and I don't know if I should use a restoration staff and spec into Restoring Light + Resto Staff tree (for healer) + Aedric's Spear for my DPS/solo needs, or if I should just use a Destruction Staff for DPS + Restoring Light for healing.
Is the Resto Staff tree redundant if you already have the Restoring Light skills?
>>
>>176095740
Level all 3 class trees, use a restoration and destruction staff (you get weapon swapping at 15)
>>
>>176096462
so no leveling any of the staff trees?
>>
>>176094693
It increases the damage.
>>
>>176097171
Uh... no you level those too. So when you gain to experience it applies to the following:
>Each skill you have on your bar
>Skill trees associated with those skills if it applies (shit like fighters guild/mages guild etc have unique leveling mechanics)
>All your current equipped armor
>Your current equipped weapon
So if you have one skill from each tree, and 1-2 skills from your weapons (you can place a destro skill on your bar but use a restoration staff, won't let you use the skill but it will level the tree) then that levels everything. More skills of an applicable tree will level it faster.
There are like 300+ skill points in total so you don't really need to try and limit yourself.
>>
>>176097635
>There are like 300+ skill points in total so you don't really need to try and limit yourself.
Oh alright, that leaves me more at ease.
Thanks for the explanation on the leveling mechanics as well. I was wondering how the game determined what skills I got EXP on.

you shouldn't care about faster skill line progress with races, this 15% bonus becomes useless when you max the skill
dunmer and altmer are the kings for magicka since they have max magicka and elemental damage bonuses as their racial passives
there's also breton with lowered spell costs, more magicka and bonus spell resistance, but that's better for PvP

Yh provision supply are mostly worthless, it's not bad with a sub bag, you come 6 months down the line them little cost items add up to a nice pile of gold.

Fyi you could make a several months stockpile of mats and get sub for a month then they will be stored in there, just you won't be able to put anymore in there when sub ends but you can take them out.

I use the same gear for my sorc and magplar but with different skill setups so my maglar gets a bit more magicka because i slot entropy along with inner light and meteor because maglar doesn't have a class skills which gives major sorcery, only minor sorcery from class passive. However I hit 4.5 spell damage with my templar and 4.1 with my sorc but my sorc gets more deeps because liquid lightning and much better sustain.

You already get all those things though, are you blind?

The exact point of PvP is that you don't grind anything. It stays interesting because you get a dynamic, changing map that you have battles with real people over. There's no grinding involved with it.

Of course, it is somewhat spoilt by all the manchildren using broken builds who could do their "rotation" in their sleep, but it's no different than having some virgin railgun you from the other side of the map in mid air on Quake.

I'm using the Weapon Damage Enchantment, purple rating right now. So, WD/SD 320 for 5 seconds.
Is it because you have Mages Guild skills slotted? That alone brought my crit up to 48%. I just don't really have space for them in my rotation.

>>176123501
First of all get some bi-stat (health-magicka) food you knife eared shit.

Then put spell damage glyphs on your jewelry.

Be smart and use bound aegis.

Make use of undaunted mettle and magicka controller passives from undanted and mages guild skill lines.

That way you can reach the numbers I have right now. After that watch some youtube videos about sorcerer rotations and such and figure out what else you wanna slot to get most out of your character. For me it is:

Front Bar: Force Pulse, Crystal Frags, haunting curse, bound aegis, inner light ult: meteor

Back Bar: Power Surge, liquid lightning, elemental blockade, dark exchange (or elemental drain depending on if the healer is keeping this up during boss fights), bound aegis ult: meteor.

I use 5 piece julianos & burning spellweave and molag kena shoulder

self buffed deeps 4.1k, during trials it can jump to 5k with all the other buffs going around.

My magicka regen is dogshit 700 something but being a breton + sorc passives + CP I can keep up the dps no problem until boss melts away and if somehow I run out of magicka I just put down AoE's and spam dark exchange then continue deepsing.

I have a Breton templar who runs the same gear, similar dps, similar sustain (a bit worse than sorc). Werks just fine. My Breton NB uses meme gear but still fine dps and werks just fine also. My Redguard DK is in PvP gear so I have no idea what kind of numbers I'd get with him. I gathered the PvE gear for him but never bothered to PvE.

I don't care about nerfs or buffs, anything works for me. I try to get shiny numbers because I am terminally autistic, I do group content once or twice a day (pledges) or just not do them at all and I don't even need half of these numbers to do the stuff I do solo tbqh with you friendolam.

Trials are boring, rewards are meh. I don't why would anyone care about ESO end game content and the current meta, it is just a buggy, plain and repetitive mess.
>>
>>176131469
sorcs are infinitely more sustainable solo then a magplar, they also don't have to rely on standing in a tiny as circle for there 'bound' armor. You say "similar" but what you really mean is "worse, but whatever I play my sorc most of the time so it doesn't really matter to me."
>>
>>176131797
I use bound aegis for the magicka bonus rather than the resistances. I got 40k magicka on my templar. That's plenty to kill an overland boss, which is one of the hardest content types you can get solo in base game. Both my sorc and templar have very similar resistances, templar being the tankier one and doing stuff solo with my templar is easier for me because I don't have to rely on power surge to heal me because my spears hit hard and heal a ton. That and I get more spell damage because minor sorcery from passives and entropy major sorcery + heal. Tbh if you are having sustain issues during soloplay it is time to git gud.

How to get decent numbers on a magblade? Fucker is caught up to CP 320, has purple julianos in divines, grothdar divines shoulder and infused head, gold inferno staves. Not at my computer, but with bi stat food my magicka is 35k or 36k, health is 19.5, spell damage is 2200 - 2400, and I still can't break 16k on a dummy with them self buffed. It's frustrating, since my magdk can do 20k easy in the same gear, more in their BSW.
>>
>>176132517
or maybe i dont have completely grinded out max gear?

I dont know I can't solo most world bosses - get one shot by a lot of things, have 36k magicka

running julianos, twilight.

It's kind of frustrating that proc/monster sets are absolutely necessary, and I have to grind for overland sets.

You don't find using entropy clunky as fuck? I honestly don't believe you that sorc is harder to solo with, dark conversion is an instant cast, and crit surge is fucking ridiculous - it provides just as much healing as sweeps and you dont have to use a shitty cone skill that snares you
>>
>>176133159
I use clever alchemist and martial knowledge on my magNb, 22k dps. I use swallow soul as my spammable and I weave swallow soul, light-ish attack (i hold onto left mouse a bit longer to get two fireballs but not too long) and keep merciless resolve up and shoot it-recast along with twisting path-elemental blockade. For trash pulls twisting path-sap essence-elemental blockade. I use use sap essence next to a boss if I can to keep major sorcery up when I don't have my pots running. I have 50 alchemy on that guy and I use shitton of potions because it is fun and it gives me a lot of helpful bonuses like regen, spell crit, damage and all that.

Clever alchemist is kinda unreliable in PvE situations tho because nobody waits around for your bonuses to fire but I enjoy playing it solo, I rarely ever die to anything.

>>176133536
Doing world bosses solo is still hard for me both with my sorc and templar (my nb has infinitely easier time doing it because cloak + spammable long distance heal). When I say it is easier to do I mean it relatively, I have 16k hp on both so if I fuck up I die. It is easier for my templar to keep his heal up though, mainly because spears hit much faster than force pulse and they heal for the damage of each hit compared to one time heal on crit you get from surge. It is hard for me to keep the AoE up along with shield and force pulse-c-frag and all that when I am doing bosses solo so I can't get a ton of healing from AoE crits. You can put light armor shield in your bar and morph it to harness magicka. It'll help your survivability and you'll regenerate magicka if the boss you are fighting shoots majick at you.

Entropy is clunky if you let it run the whole animation, I animation cancel pretty much everything as long as it makes sense to do so.

What do you animation cancel it with ? Light attacks don't work and I swap cancel blazing spears.

Feels like a orc natural gets all necessary buffs with good skills where's Templar has to go out of his way to get those buffs with trash skills that worsen the dps rotation

>>
>>176135390
Well I assume when they were making the classes they thought of sorc as a pure dps while templar is a mix of dps and healing with great group utilities.

You can use block to cancel animation or swap bars either works for entropy. You should also always keep up reflective light on your targets because it is an excellent dot and minor sorcery. What I do in dungeon situations is wait for tank to get close to mobs, entropy cancel animation reflective light cancel animation, elemental blockade cancel animation then spam them spears. Entropy is obviously not as good as power surge for keeping up major sorcery but it is a good enough option.

Yeah recovery loss, it's still going to be meta because burst is too high to even consider running anything unless you're a ganker or zergling also light and med have both been nerfed so they ain't anymore desirable as they are now.

As a backbar ult gives me block cost on 1h/s, I use shooting star on front which gives me ult gen, drop it on group and have a second cheap ult up very soon especially when you kill one of them get the pk ult gen then you drop the sweeps on them. Boom. You've just hit a bunch of dudes with two ults both with powerful dots before the first one ends, nevermind the rest of your rotation which is mostly aoe.

Because it turned into a dick waving contest for the highest dps from what I understand
Never done trials(Well completed one) myself, but apparently people skip mechanics by brute forcing the boss with damage.
>>
>>176149191

Because big damage meant that you could ignore mechanics garage n some dungeons and trials, trivializing it. For example, people would brute force the last boss in the maw trial, if it's killed fast enough you can ignore a phase mechanic. People would rather dps it down than try to hope that people knew what to do, which wasn't usually the case since people didn't do the mechanic anymore.
>>
>>176149589

And this killed end game trials. It got to the point where if your e-peen wasn't big enough to ignore mechanics, you weren't considered for vet trials. Most stam builds we're already excluded since they had a harder time matching the damage of magicka, and magicka has the advantage of range and shields on top of that. It got to the point where the trial would be 2 dk tanks, 2 magicka dks, and the rest magicka sorcs.

I really hate shit like this. DPSing is one thing MMOs have a hard time getting right. Mechanics really need to matter and at top endgame you shouldn't be able to skip them with enough DPS. Just turns into a mindless gear check zerg.

Some anon here told about how he got kicked from a veteran dungeon not doing enough damage to skip the mechanics in vRoM (I didn't even knew you could).

Nah, frankly that's a cultural problem in MMOs in general. FFXIV has the same problem. Some bosses have mechanics that can be outright skipped if there is enough DPS, and with DPS meters PUG raid leaders can see who is underperforming and kick them.

Two things cause these issues: the developers not keeping DPS numbers in check (which is hard to do), and allowing DPS meters to exist.

I applaud ZoS for these changes if they will do what everyone is bitching about.

Fuck, makes me want to reroll on consoles where DPS meters don't exist. I am a great player, but I just fucking hate DPS meters because PvE endgame then becomes a competition against other players rather than the actual PvE content.

Word.

I would love to see what happens if they made an MMO that doesn't give you any numbers to autism over. Like, the stats are still there, but the player has no way of telling what they are other than just playing the game, and trying to gauge how effective their attacks are by feel.

This game has some really creative and fun play styles if you build with an open mind, whereas the builds you see in guides are just illogical as fuck, they don't have any "character" to them, it's just purely what skills and gear etc were the most functional. Imagine this game where people built their characters based on "shit yeah I wanna be a badass fire shooting Nord" instead of masturbating over how big they can make the numbers.

I guess I'm just a bitter role-play fag, but the whole MMO structure just attracts autists like flies. Man, I bet even if they hid all the stats, these fuckers would be out there using fucking timers to calculate it themselves and shit.
>>
>>176153804
the base game doesn't give a lot for the metafag number crunchers to go off of. Honestly if the API was closed and nobody could make mods then it would just be target dummy testing/testing on bosses and people would probably be more open about builds because it would move towards "is the player good" vs "is this spec/gear/rotation good at this time"

AFAIK people on consoles use their own ways to gauge player's DPS before inviting them into guilds and whatnot. Even if DPS meters didn't exist there would still be some kind of method players would use to figure out how much damage people are putting out.

However, that information is not so readily available in PUG formats. DPS meters gives a hard number for people to look at to determine worth, and that number often gets misconstrued. It doesn't matter if you're doing sufficient damage, if you are #5 on that meter, you are a shit player. The wrong people look at damage meters and over inflate/deflate player value. Sure one guy is wrecking the meter, but if everyone is doing a certain level of DPS, he's not really worth that much more than another player doing DPS equal to everyone else. The fight will only end slightly faster with the bid dick DPS guy in the group.

I can keep bitching about it but DPS meters are here to stay as much as I fucking hate them.

>good reason
MMOs are a neverending quest to get the best equipment while you try to convince you're having fun in the process. This simply means the best equipment is no longer BiS, so they have to get more equipment. Sperging out that your shit becomes outdated in a MMO is fucking retarded.

Also just because other games do tokens doesn't mean ESO needs to fit that mold as well. Fuck tokens. Do something else if gearing up is a legitimate issue, which it isn't.

>>
>>176156517
i think the gearing should me more complex and dropped items should have a chance at multiple attributes, not this lame magicka/stamina only shit

put strength, dex, int, willpower, agi, luck etc, back into the game, diversify races so that they are better at some attributes then others, and tie abilities to attributes in a sensible way.

then get rid of this set garbage, create rare drop tiers, and uniques ala saint's armor from TES lore and have them give special abilities or bonus to certain abilities that enable particular build archetypes

Core stats are kind of pointless in today's RPG. They simply translate into throughput with no reason for customization. Tanky classes will want to stack STR, stabby/shooty classes will want DEX, wizards will want INT, etc. There's no hard customization to them, so putting that shit in the game is pointless without introducing too much customization.

Frankly this game has enough customization as is without throwing the stat juggling game into the mix. That shit is fucking monotonous.

>Also just because other games do tokens doesn't mean ESO needs to fit that mold as well. Fuck tokens.
exactly what I'm saying, zero arguments, only "it works like that so it's good"
a token system would also help diversity, one of the reason why people farm and use BiS gear and only that is because of how much of a hassle it is to get optimal gear
people don't like to work for nothing and that's why they won't farm for rarely used sets they want to test but don't want to invest the retarded amount of time needed with no guarantees
>>
>>176157818
I'm not sure I agree. It gives a meaningful choice between stacking damage, survivability, and resources when you have to choose which of those attributes to excel at

in this game, all you have to scal is one stat and you're golden.

There should be skills that only work for the player if he is specced a specific way. As is now, all roads go in the same direction as far as stamina vs/ magicka builds.

I find these combat "rotations" that consist of largely the same skills between all classes to be more monotonous then having a little forethought into character building might be.

You want less forethought, and more button mashing because you don't have to think and just smash buttons for DPS. That's not really in the RPG spirit.

This game is a bastardization of COD and TES when you look at it that way
>>
I'm glad none of you are in charge of balance in ESO.
>>
>>176158349
Skill customization is a pretty big deal in this game. Can't really be said of most MMOs. What you want is for stat customization to really matter in regards to player builds. This will further randomize loot, because there will need to be a shit load of different items to account for all varieties of stat builds. Then you have the issue where players will need to juggle all of these stats and end up spending more time doing this than playing the actual game.

Lastly, even with all that added customization of an actual diverse stat system, there will STILL be 'required' cookie cutter builds. That is an inevitability of MMORPGs.
>>
>>176156517
All I want is less BoP, not all BoE but less. It's fucking ass right now it should just go back to how it was before one tam, no idea why they changed it, it was fine before and everyone was happy with. More people did trials than ever before or after because you could actually make good money

Also this massively hurt the trading community and traders are literally free real estate to zos, they'll keep playing no matter what, all they need is stuff to sell, you pretty much have to make fuck all content for them and they basically govern/balance themselves.
>>
>>176158930
sure but then at least you could have say, bow skills tied to dex and strength, whereas two hand might be strength and endurance, one hand shield strength and willpower, and dual wield dex and agi.

meaning there's greater opportunity for customization.

I also don't think random stats on gear would be bad either- would make gearing up harder sure, but the current system is just as restrictive with garbage traits, and set pieces that don't make sense (magicka sets on bows for example)

with a different drop system, you could tie specific traits to specific item types and forgo at least part of the RNG
>>
>>176159361
also i dont think I would say stacking an attribute would be the be modus of drops. I think a scale 0-100 should determine percentile effectiveness with diminishing returns, and players should be given attribute points to spend at each level, so you could still diversify into whatever attributes you want, but might not be 100% effective at a given thing depending on your race.

then item bonus should still be things like weapon damage, bow damage, spell damage, but further diversify into fire, lightning, poison, disease, etc.
>>
>>176158125
I'm not a game developer. I don't have a specific solution to the issue that isn't an issue for 99% of the playerbase. Top endgame sperglords are the ones clamoring for tokens because they care so much about having 100% BiS. The solution doesn't need to be tokens, and I'm fucking glad they haven't introduced them.

My comparison with Dranos was due to people struggling with him because they don't know how to interrupt.

Dark Exchange and its morph can be interrupted and they're channelling skills, leaving you with several ways to counter them. And it's not hard to get up in people's face if they try to run away to cast it. Streak takes you away but not further away that you can't use a gap closer and it's cheaper to use *any* gap closer in the game than it is to spam streak, including the DK's chains. And all classes, be it stamina or magicka, have access to bow and destro abilities that interrupt and stun.

Meanwhile Rushed Ceremony heals you and people around you in an instance with no way to counter it, so a mag templar in heavy armour can simply block for all eternity and cast breath of life if he happen to be low on health while he have 5 guys doing their best to kill him (at least now, I'm not sure what will happen in Cyrodiil but I wouldn't be surprised if nothing changes because even if heavy armour gets nerfed, so will people's abilities to do damage so it may balance itself out).

Only thing they need to change when it comes to Dark Exchange is giving it a bigger animation so people see you're casing it and a unique sound effect so people go "oh I better interrupt now" instead of standing in front of someone. Because the biggest problem now is that people don't bother to interrupt.

That vast majority of the playerbase will not see peak endgame content. Many of those that could see it focus on entirely PVP. Yes, it's a number pulled from my ass, but not entirely inaccurate.

Not the same person but the reason I want to see tokens is because the game have a problem due to how inventory, rng and sets work together not only punish people doing endgame pve but half-casuals who want to faff about with different builds.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but One Tamriel introduced 30 new sets. Due to the RNG and the chances that Wrobel may be Wrobel the next time he balances the game, you better save the drops with good traits because you may never see a divine piece again. And you may want them in PvP. So you want 5 pvp and 5 pve pieces.

That's 300 set pieces.

Then you have new 16 new monster helmets. Same rules there but it gets even worse since you may want light, heavy and medium depending on if you want to synergize with the undaunted passive or not. And you better save at least one in divines and one in impen (and maybe one more as a tanking trait but let's say 1 divine and 1 inpen for the sake of the argument) in all armour combinations. Monster set + shoulder would be 6 pieces each (at least). That's 96 pieces.

So almost 400 armour pieces combined.

A token system would make you go "ok I have these tokens in case Wrobel go nuts, I can feel safe knowing I'm deconstructing this armour and won't cuck myself from never ever seeing it again" instead of the shitty system we have now, where people who jump between builds just for fun are forced to act like hoarders because the RNG is shit.

>sets

>weight
as above
>traits
a maximum of 2 out of 9 are worthwhile per item; for the majority of builds it's only 1 of 9 traits for each of the 11 gear slots

I can't believe sharpened/divines has gone unmolested by nerfs this whole time, especially with the recent pts patchnotes

>>176161480
Oh, believe me, I understand the RNG. One thing RNG does is motivates people to do the content instead of just getting your shit and stop playing. I'm not advocating its severity, but it's a necessary evil, so to speak.

However, tokens do not need to be the answer. ESO has a great crafting system. Why not do something with that, instead. Make the monster gear craftable from really rare plan drops, which would create a boon to the game's economy for the valuable mats necessary and the equipment themselves. Or allow players to create their own sets with their own bonuses from researching set bonuses like traits.

Tokens are fucking old and boring. I'd rather not have them and the problem of RNG goes unchecked than have them.

Why don't you want to hoard stuff? Wasn't hoarding sweet armour and weapons half the fun of other TES games?

Maybe this game could use an auction house, so then you can at least be sure there's a place to go buy rare drops. Saving up the gold isn't any different from just farming the dungeon over and over if you think about it.

Lord knows how you people would have coped in those old school MMOs where any cunt who ganks you could take all your shit.

Sometimes people want this game to be more like a traditional TES game with stat juggling and sometimes they don't with gear hoarding and lack of respecs. Baffles me ervy time.

>>176160071
its not interruptible to my knowledge, it has 0 cast time.

also my comparison was about solo pve survivability, and sustain, not PvP which i could give two shits about how salty people are over a healer doing his job.

in my opinion a healer should be able to keep his party alive against oncoming damage against double stacked odds. You should have to focus fire and interrupt the templar to get anywhere

people just want to be able to zerg and roll over opposition because the game is nothing but a DPS check in its current state, and templar has a hard counter to mindless DPS.

getting rid of heals is the wrong solution. people need to slot interrupts, draining skills and CC and use timed burst, not just try to brute force every encounter.
