New poisons in Dark Brotherhood coming up, as well as a bunch of NB abilities changing to disease means bosmer's resists should make fighting them easier.

Having a limit on how many characters you can delete per day is arguably one of the worst game decisions made by ZOS

I just started playing recently and was trying out different characters and now I can't fucking play until I get more deletes, because I decided on what I want to main, but the name I want to use is in currently taken by a character I plan to delete.

Why would they limit deletes? WHY THE FUCK

>>143649762
Bots apparently. Early on, there were easy to get to, single use quests that would give good gold and were easily automated.

You could make your first alt before your main? or get a character to level 8 quickly as a crafting alt?

>>143649762
You get one delete back per 24 hours from your last deletion.

This limit killed gold spammers over night in the PC version.

Don't make so many characters maybe?

>>143649938
>>143650002

I suppose if it means less bots and mail spam, it isn't such bullshit.

is ESO graphically demanding as fuck or just poorly optimized. Even on medium I get fps drops to 30s when I enter towns. It's mostly smooth 60 outside of them though even on ultra

Right now I just lowered resolution, shadows, draw distance and it's tolerable, but still getting drops.

Will I just have to play on low for 60 fps, or is there something that can be done.

Bought this game recently, impressed with the variety in combat it offers, but still clueless overall.

Would I be gimping myself if I played as a nightblade with a 2hander for example?

>>143653682
2h nightblade is the done think afaik

anyone know which addon gives the armour damage percentage, when you view what you're wearing?

>>143652776

I've not had any problems with performance running on high, and I have a dinky weiner GTX650, 8gb ram, and a 6 year old 3ghz black edition.

If you have the minimap addon, you may want to uninstall it.

The second I installed that addon my FPS dropped by like 40 with ugly spikes during pop-ins. Second I uninstalled, went back to being smooth as butter.

Haven't had any sort of lag since.

So, how much does Executioner actually matter for 2h DPS in PvE?

I'd understand a 30% execute, or even a 25% execute, but 20% with a passive bonus at 15% just doesn't seem very good.

On most mobs that's literally one hit, and it's really just the same damage as Wrecking Blow with slightly less cast time.

Even on bosses it's usually only 5-10 hits before it's dead.

Wouldn't I gain a much greater overall bonus from slotting somthing like Evil Hunter instead, and just continue spamming Wrecking blow?

I'm only level 38 right now - will the bosses maybe eventually get enough health for it to be more useful?

>>143657617
>minimap addon

is that advanced UI?

I have it installed, but not enabled, because I couldn't figure out how to move that stupid minimap

>>143658087

I was talking about the Minimap addon by Fyarkin, but I don't use AUI. It's possible that might have it bundled in.

>>143657812
in dungeons where things have exponentially higher health the 300% execute damage will output far more dps than even perfect light weave wrecking blows

its also a very comfy combo in overworld pve to crit charge>wb>executioner with light weaves in between.

P2W is here.

>>143659852
yep, everyone's totally going to use the shitty crown store poisons over the leagues-better crafted poisons.

this is exactly just like the crown tri-pots and food, overall shittier, but convenient for anyone who can't utilize a crafting station.

What's the word on the street with how magicka sorcs are dealing with the too brief shields in the patch?

>>143652776
I'm only using a 950 and have 10Gigs of RAM and I have no qualms whatsoever playing it on High and even Ultra when the mood takes me

Please speak slowly, and try to explain this to me like you're speaking to a child - I'm afraid I don't quite understand. It appears that, via some invisible and unknowable force, this game is causing me to have fun.

You can be honest with me. Do I have a brain problem? Am I feverish? Is it fatal? I feel faint. My vision is getting dark. I feel death at my shoulder. No, false alarm, that's just some fucking Ayelid ghost trying to give me a quest.

Are there any optimal strategies for fishing that could save some time?

Hours per zone. Today I spent two hours and about 150 guts trying to catch that fucking Mud Lamprey in Deshaan without getting it. Well at least you get plenty of gold from selling Psijic Ambrosia or Perfect Roe.

What class is a good fit for argonian? Their abilities seem all over the place with maybe a small focus on playing a healer

>>143679789
Some people like them for tanks due to their unique racial ability of increased healing received.

Does blocking lessen the effect of red AoE attacks?

>>143685168
Pretty sure it decrees all damage, even damage over time on you for some strange reason. It absolutely help against AoE tho.

For someone who just got this on ps4, what are some beginners tips?

>>143688168
Crafting is worth taking a look at and the sooner the better. Always have something on research. Save your money so you can buy a mount asap.

>>143688168
If you're a Skyrim adventurer, take a couple hours to learn to use the combat system effectively. You'll have a lot more fun if you feel powerful when adventuring.

I'm sure I missed the shitstorm about this here, but what do people think of 4K crowns for the Dro'Mathra Senche mount?

I think it looks cool, but there's no way in hell im condoning the price by paying that much. Voting with my wallet for this one.

>>143693909

Why would there be a shitstorm over cosmetics?

They can charge $100 for that shit and people will still buy it. That's the kind of people they're afer.

If it keeps the game from having invasive monetization I don't give a fuck.

>>143694123

The forums and subreddit were a shitstorm, people were furious. I'm not as much angry as I am just not willing to pay out.

I still think it's a stupid thing to do because they'd be making a lot more money from crowns by selling it for 2.5k like they do with other exclusives. More people would be willing to shell out to buy a new stock of crowns. I'm sure the ZoS thinking was "Let's charge more than people are likely to have saved in their wallets so they're forced to buy another large crown pack."

>>143693909
I don't care how other people spend their money as long as it's not p2w. I'm fine with the way the pay model is now and as long as Zenimax is making enough money they won't change it.

>>143693909
It's too much and there were smarter ways to market it desu.

Still, richkids will be richkids, so you can still see a fair amount of Dro'Mathra Senches around.

>>143694598
>"Let's charge more than people are likely to have saved in their wallets so they're forced to buy another large crown pack."
I do believe that is the very same reasoning behind the 500crown welcome wallet

If anybody plays Xbone EU, add me at TheEnkian. I'm looking to start a guild because nobody I know in real life plays on Xbone, they're either PC or PS4.

Any good stam DK builds? I'm aiming for PvP, but it wouldn't hurt to know some levelling tips as well.
Mentioning levelling, can you guys tell me the most essential Dragonknight skills (and 1h+shield)? I'm new to DK. Using heavy armor, aiming for 5 heavy + 2 med ultimately, is it a good setup or moar medium?

File: what.jpg (169KB, 945x879px) Image search: [Google]

169KB, 945x879px

So my main is an imperial stamina dragonknight, and I am trying decide on what my alt should be. I am enjoying my dragonknight but I play on him with a friend and don't want to work ahead of my friend.

I want to make a dark elf but I don't know what to do. Suggestions?

Do your secondary weapons don't give ultimate?

When I switch to my bow, nothing gives any ulti. And then for around 5 seconds after I switch back.

>>143705403
I'm leveling a stam DK dps with 2h/dw. 5 med, 1 light, 1 heavy.
The unstable flame is my standard opener
Burning talons and burning breath help a lot with those groups of three that are so common in pve. I chose Burning talons for the additional dps.
The chain pull thing is nice for maneuvering mobs to a safe place to fight and for the CC.
If you're ranged, stonefist is a good CC.

>>143705403
>1h+shield
It's really a tank skill line. 2h is good for a stam dps.

Why are the only people who use mics in this game black? I've heard maybe 20 different people using a mic in random campaign groups and almost every single one of them sounded black except for one hick white sounding dude.

>>143705570
DK skills are mostly melee, go ranged for different gameplay.
Dark elves have some flame damage racials. You could do a flame staff wielding sorc.

>>143708876

Black people have quality taste in video-games.

>>143709024
>flame staff

I will be honest; I hate the way staves play. Lighting staff is the only one I can bear, which is sort of my dilemma.

I had thoughts of starting a magplar but it seems dumb to use something other than a fire staff as a dark elf.

>>143688168
do at least enough crafting to unlock the hirelings for each craft, join a big guild hopefully with a trader and sell off any gold or purple materials you get from the hirelings

use the gold to buy a horse asap to start getting it upgraded and get the first few bank/bag upgrades

always have something researching in your crafting stations, starting on it early will result in a lot less headache later on

try to wear 1 piece of every kind of armor so you get skill ups, also try to have at least 1 class skill from all 3 trees to keep them leveled

when you hit 10 look up the cyrodiil skyshard map, join the non vet non champ map first if you want to do actual PVPing but you can guest into a vet map that your side dominates to collect more skyshards

>>143709527
I was more implying why is it only black people who use mics? I'm not convinced 95% of the population in the game is black but 95% of random mic users certainly are.

This was the NA PS4 server too, I would have thought black dudes would all be on xbones but now that I think about it the PS4 is kind of the main system for fighting game fans which = black people.

>>143709637
I have Dark elf magplar healer, flame staff/resto staff.
I think high elves have a lightning damage bonus.

>>143710553
6% fire/ice/lightning I think, still probably better off using a fire staff though because of burn

healing staff best staff

>>143711161
How good is stamina sorc on a dark elf? It seems like it is the closest to a spellsword, which would be my ideal character.

>>143711161
You could go bow with a flame enchant, but you're not going to get nearly as much out of racial bonus.
While I prefer the feel of a bow and the sneak attacks, I prefer the staff abilities to the bow abilities.

>>143710245
probs because a lot of black people are extroverted

>>143709024
And what for secondary?

>>143712447
And rapists

>>143712884
You could go for destro/resto for all ranged even if you're not healing. Resto gives you a self-heal and has some nice passives for magicka users.

>>143711398
staff so nice I equip it twice

Does anyone know around how much sustainWerewolf does fully upgraded?

I can do around 9k DPS single target in dungeons at 39 with Wrecking Blow spam, but my werewolf only does around 5k.

I'm just wondering if it's even worth it to start upgrading right now.

>>143718646
people have pulled 40k on ww in super short single target fights before, but that damage quickly goes down as the fight drags on. it's a decent morph for vet dungeons that aren't vcoa/icp/wgt.

>>143711398
Resto staff has it's advantages, but it lacks some of the nice features of the destro staff.
I like crushing shock for the interrupt on those healers and necromancers and the knockback of the flame staff's destructive touch is great for dealing with anything that gets to melee range.
That's why I like the desto/resto combo.

Pls don't die.

>>143708560
Any PvP skill choice tips? The Talons are quite disappointing to me, I thought they were a better version of sorc's Encase but their range is pitiful.

>>143708762
A-actually I wanted this character to be quite tanky. I might use 2h as the primary weapon and move 1h and shield to the back bar once I reach 15 lvl.

>>143730059
I haven't done a lot of pvp, so I can't offer much there.
The talons are for close melee only, you get right in the middle of the mobs, lock them down and go to work.
Tanky is fine and you can get through pve content solo with 1h+shield. It takes a bit longer to burn mobs down, but there is nothing more satisfying than shield bashing a caster to death in mid cast.

>>143730059
talons is good for draining your target's stamina, many people use shield charge from S&B and couple it with talons to CC lock people, to leave, they will have to either wait out both CC, or break free then dodge roll, the latter costing a lot of stamina.

you know what this game needs? hand placed unique items around the world in various locations people in the know can rush to like other tes games. When you walk into a dungeon in this game you have no real thought that maybe something good is hidden somewhere. I miss that feeling.

>>143693909
I think it looks cool. Happy with my current mount, so I didn't get one. It does tickle me a little how its pricing made a few people rage, which I will admit is probably a flaw in my character for which there is likely a name.

>>143733218

So much this. Even if it's just an extra momento or hat every now and then.

So how many of you guys consider ESO canon or TES fanfiction? I haven't seen any contradictions that stick out to me, but I'm also fairly blind to these sorts of things.

>>143739143

I consider it canon despite the while Cyrodiil jungle issue. Most do, some lorefags are just babies because they don't want the lore touched.

>>143669189
changes that will make stamina builds great again, I'm excited myself

>>143711647
lol what dark elf has specific passive for Fire damage, that race is more towards magic dk

>>143739847
The lore doesn't make the game, the game makes the lore.

>>143693909
Don't really care for any cosmetics, if I ever get a surplus of crown from getting sub then I might look into them but I won't be outright buying crowns anytime soon.

>>143739143
TES lore has room for contradictions built right into its fundamental cosmos, everything is canon.

>>143713969
Sounds nice, I'll probably do that

>>143694123
It keeps them from putting stuff like the craft bag behind a paywall, oh, wait...

Is there a way to get past this agegate bullshit? Or a fix for it to work on firefox?

>>143752715
Disregard this, I suck cocks.
Apparently agegate needs the tracker 'typekit by adobe' enabled to function.

>>143753003

is there a use for posions now?

>>143755629
nice. i dont even care if the poison will be shit but crafting ravage stamina poitons without a single fucking use makes me go autist

>>143754347
That agegate thing which asks your age on the ESO webpage doesn't work with ghostery blocking the usual trackers.

>>143739143
Considering the trainwrecks that Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim are for lore purists ESO is as canon as any other game. The fact that they have to consult Bethesda for any major lore decisions and the fact that they've said it's canon only solidifies it further.

I approach lore the same way you approach lore in the Warhammer universe; things aren't true and false as much as they're written to further the writers own agenda.

ESO have given me wood orcs, ancient argonian civilizations and letting me travel to one of the moons. More interesting than what I got out of Skyrim.

>>143755893
Oh, I see.

We really need a way to check out people's gear and slotted abilities. There's no way to know if a damage-dealer is good, bad or mediocre before you're half-way trough the dungeon.

Can anyone tell me how people are able to multi cast ultimates? I just watched this sorc cast two storm atronashs, then when that fight was over, he cast another two very soon after

>>143756250
There's an infinite ultimate exploit going around right now, expect a hotfix today.

It's not an exploit but a 3rd party software. I'm not sure what they can do about it except banning people using it.

>>143761338

I could see people abusing this to kick anyone that uses a slightly different build from the "best" (i.e. ones from Deltia's site)

And you are still prone to getting that player that copies a great build from a YouTube video but has no idea how to use it.

cunt

>>143766969

Are Delita's builds even still relavent?

At least looking at Sorc builds, they're all from over a year ago. From what I know about the game so far a lot of the choices seem questionable.

>>143766969
> "best" (i.e. ones from Deltia's site)
I understand why you put those quotation marks there. So sure, skip the skills, but still allow me to see the equipment. I was more thinking about avoiding groups when you've a veteran rank 11 going around in half the gear green from veteran rank 8 and the like. Like it or not, not all players can do all dungeons with all gear. If someone gets one-shotted there's fuck all I can do as a healer.

>>143761338
How exactly are they doing this? Are they reading memory and editing it or something?

>>143772248
>when you've a veteran rank 11 going around in half the gear green from veteran rank 8 and the like

>>143733218
I'm not sure that would work so well in an MMO. If the items are any good, they will be well known immediately because everyone will be using them. Then you just look it up online and go get it.

>>143774095
>>143772606

As far as I know they're using Cheat Engine. The lag in Cyrodiil is a result of anti-cheat measurements. They've been fixing some of the lag and as a result stuff that worked years ago suddenly work again.

Laugh all you want. Stamina based templars and dragonknights can solo veteran city of ashes but HOLD YOUR FUCKING DAEDRIC PRINCES seems like sorceres have a little too easy time in veteran maelstorm arena! we wouldn't want sorcerers to continue being good at the only thing the class excels at, right? After all we've some real problem if people can clear solo content and we need to focus on that instead of the fact that people can finish 4-player content solo without breaking a sweat! Who cares that sorcerers gets outbursted and outlasted in PvP or are useless in all roles in endgame trials because dem sorcersers m8 we need to keep em in check it's not like dragonknights and nightblades are balling out of control.

Fuck me.

>>143779302
Not that I know of.

>>143779623
Sorc is just such an annoying brainless class to deal with in PvP though. All they do is spam mines and shields and crushing shock. It might not be good but it sure is fucking tedious to deal with, especially in IC. No pity for the magSorcs.

>>143780351

That's simply because everything else got nerfed and it's all you can do to survive.

>>143733218
I could see this work. Zenimax already have specific NPC's that only occurs during specific times and places. Werewolves and The Golden comes to mind. I wouldn't mind if they did something similar with a treasure chest.

Anyone have a good nightblade build?

>>143784756
The golden?

Quick question for really anyone willing to answer, but this game isn't canon is it? I really have no interest in playing it but I love lore like a fucking tolkienfag. I don't want to miss out on a potentially canon experiences.

It looks fun but I'm not really sold on it. Does the game even really matter story-wise?

>>143787178
The pvp vendors that shows up in Cyrodiil on weekends and sell monster helmets and end-game gear for either 100k gold or 200k alliance points. If you're v16 you should really have a look because she's selling Morag Kena's helmets this weekend.

>>143788524
It's 100% canon. If you like orcs, wood-elves and argonians you'll probably like it since they've gotten more love than in the rest of the games.

All big decisions on lore literary have to be approved by Bethesda. The reason there's no Imga or Sloads is because Bethesda didn't wanted them in the game.

Why even bother with lore to begin if you're going to behave like a child.

>>143792146
Because retcons are a piss-poor replacement for consistency.

So I haven't tanked in a very long time. I used to tank when everyone put all points into health due to the soft caps.

It may sounds strange but is stamina tanking viable these days? As in having all my skillpoints and enchantment on a heavy armour set in stamina? Or should I put all of em in health?

My personal retcon have to be the Argonians.

Daggerfall turned them from lizard-people with hair into lizards.
Morrowind changed the Hist from being slightly smarter lizards into sentient firewood and gave them immunity to poison out of nowhere.
Oblivion turned all races into potatoes.
Skyrim changed so all the argonians who just stood around doing nothing was really returning home, because the now sentient firewood decided it was time to invade oblivion.
ESO changed it so that the Argonians have had previously huge and advanced civilizations with laser weapons fuelled by Hist sap that always ended up in the shitter due to the Shadowscales (and previous cults that's similiar to the shadowscales) fucking up the Argonians ability to communicate with the Hist.

5% max stamina vs. 10% crit

>>143796554

The game even have dinduns.

>>143797949

Also it appears based on builds that Dual Wield is more single target DPS than 2h after the patch, is that true?

>>143797949
I'd have bound armament instead of evil hunter (if you don't want to have both at the same time) since you also get spell and damage resistance, and crit isn't really that big of a deal if not the rest of your gear or starsign utilize crit.

With Bound Armament you also get use of the the Daedric Protection passive, giving you 20% healing regeneration.

>>143798285
Dual wield offers more damage if you're using class abilities (such as surprise attack). If you're using weapon abilities as your main damage source, 2h is better due to wrecking blow.

This is of course untrue if you have VMA daggers/axes, which, after the patch, will be the best in slot stam DPS weapons by a mile.

>>143798034
Come on, that has to be a joke.

>>143798323

Yeah but I have Storm Atronach for passive, and it's only minor ward.

I mean, my bars are:

2h: Executioner, Crit Rush, Wrecking Blow, Boundless Storm, Evil Hunter, Storm Atronach
Bow: Acid Spray, Arrow Barrage, Poison Injection, Crit Surge, Evil Hunter, Werewolf

Realistically I can switch out Poison Injection and Executioner for Bound Armaments, but I'm not sure that's worth it. They're both pretty good.

Especially if I have to switch Executioner for Brawler when there's a bad tank and I have to tank 8 adds.

This games pvp is so shit, i waited for the weekend to see if maybe it picked up, but it didnt.

This really upsets me, its just small groups trying to ninja sieges and then getting zerged by defenders, and a bunch of people arguing about 'dueling' in zone.

im in bwb on na pc, each faction has 2 bars, nothings happening.

>>143800770
BWB usually gets good in prime time (8 - 12PM), what faction are you in? for all i know DC always notzergs, AD has steady pop and EP is kinda ded..

>non champion point campaign has like 6 people in the whole zone, can only do scout missions
>regular vet campaign I can't even ride to an objective without getting 2 shot by what I assume are maxed out nightblades

this is frustrating

>>143801209
ive tried dc and ad and both seem about the same, though ad has a lot more arguing in chat

but seriously, for an rvr game on the weekend i would expect 100vs100 zerg clashes, at a minimum

ad just took a keep.. from npcs, since there were no defenders

I think this games siege mechanics are kind of screwed up and dont really allow for good keep fights, its too easy to start a siege, and too easy to have it end as fast as it started. Also i think mounts and fast travel, but not during sieges, is pretty much backwards, it should be no fast travel and slower mounts always, or fast travel always even during sieges, that would ensure better confrontations by either turning it into human wave zergs, or very defensive and well fortified siege camps with skirmishing in the middle. As it is people just rush around but then get hard blocked and thats it, go do something else, and then the zerg falls apart, nobody knows what to do, you get all these individual groups off trying to do their own thing, and nothing gets accomplished except by accident.

>>143802812
>but seriously, for an rvr game on the weekend i would expect 100vs100 zerg clashes, at a minimum

Due to things like siege weapons, and the sheer amount of AoE in this game, coupled with the relatively complex character models and effects, there is no way it could handle 100v100+ fights (ZOS needs to improve the performance in cyro as is).

Plus if you PvP enough you'll quickly learn that bigger fights are nothing but laggy proxy det clouding swarm bullshit storms, they are really fucking awful, they're just a contest to see who can stay bunched up tighter and who has better AoEs.

Smaller scale PvP however is VERY fun. Try Imperial City if you have the DLC, it's where all the good PvP is, and its the only place you get actual serious money rewards for killing people (especially after next patch). Or you can join a dueling guild and go 1v1 people all day.

>>143803878
fucking cunts, that's not how you get new people into the game...

>>143803878
Why have an open world factional game then?

Massive aoe spam sounds like fun, seeing lines ebb and flow is the entire point of rvr games. All this does is encourage people to be selfish and build themselves around ganking.

An example here. I can go make a new character in planetside 2, right now, do the initial tutorial, and have enough points to cert the ammo supply for the sunderer. Then i can take my ammo sundy, park it somewhere near the front lines, and be activly helping my team, as a 10 minute newbie. That sunderer could be critical to holding a bridge or something.

In this game, i take considerably longer to level to 10, do the only thing that seems viable with a low level character with out anyone to craft full sets of totaly upgraded gear for me, grab a restro staff and go around trying to heal people and maybe try some cc or something... and what happens? I came across a group of two other newbies trying to kill one level 40 something, i joined in. the three of us couldn't do it despite battle scaling, im not sure what the other people were doing, they seemed to be non healing builds, yet the level 40 coudlnt kill them either.

Now of course, im not saying i should be able to take my crappy ap leeching build and 1v1 people, and sure its great that that one guy could 1vs3 us level 10-12s.

But that shouldnt be a situation that has to happen. We should be able to go to the low level rvr campaign, find a zerg, tag along, learn the strategies and flows of the games territory war while still being useful to the faction in some capacity, and slowly gain knowledge and understanding doing this untill one day we can 'graduate' to running small special teams that work off of the zergs position and be badass operators operating

The issue is this games territory war seems to not actually exist. do camps outside of keeps even do anything? Every keep that ive taken we just ignored them, id think you would need to capture them.

>>143805020
>Why have an open world factional game then?

Because ZOS didn't think that far ahead.

>>143805020
>The issue is this games territory war seems to not actually exist.

Yeah it's a bit of an issue. They are fixing it though, as DB brings IC district capture, and the next update is (supposedly) going to bring town capture to the rest of Cyrodiil. Hopefully it'll also bring more useful services to Cyrodiil towns as well, as right now all they are are places to do quick daily quests for easy XP and nothing else.

As for the other issues, yeah the social side of the game is a bit lacking, especially in Cyrodiil, no idea if Zenimax ever intends on changing anything about it, so it's just a hurdle you have to get over sadly.

>>143805020
Get some siege equipment, if you want to help out, there nothing like running over to a siege and seeing 3+ guys all operating 3 trebuchets each. Hell I remember busting on down to a siege and everyone's equipment got smashed up, so I popped out like trebuchets for everyone and battering ram, my lonely level 20 ass saved that one for them.

>>143805875
Is all that going to be behind a paywall?

>>143806069
Imperial City is, but any improvements to Cyrodiil at large wont be, as it's an integral part of the base game.

>>143800770

I think a lot of people play Azura's Star.

I haven't been to Cyrodil a lot, but I'm in two guilds and both of them are out there with big groups every night.

I'm DC, NA PC.

>>143806764
i notice the populations are higher in some of the other campaigns even though people talk about bwb like its the second most active because people just keep rerolling to play it.

well see, i came into this game due to TES and honestly pvp was a secondary interest of mine, but ive always like rvr games, daoc was the second mmo i really played longer than a year straight (and still the last one ive played for more than 2 years), and playing this game makes me want to reinstall planetside instead, which is a shame because my eyes get drawn to pvp as the endgame option, and if i cant make that work then it detracts from the thought of doing anything else in the game. Its like i feel like i should just reinstall some skyrim conversion for tes, and reinstall planetside for rvr

>>143806764
No, don't recommend Azura's.

Min/max faggots left the place because they can't play without CP and there's barely any action anymore, that's why most here recommend BWB, since there's quite a few dedicated guilds and there are no meta endgame builds or oneshotter nightblades.

>>143807862
If you really want some clusterfuck action try trueflame, the most populated campaign, though i'm not sure you'll be very competitive without high CP or a decent group backing you up.

too many campaigns...

>>143811672

> You were that dependant on a shield for your dps?

The changes to the shield are just nonsense. In PvP your shield won't last that long anyway so it's not a problem, in fact now we've even an additional shield after they've changed so that the light armour shield now absorb all damage. It does fuck all to make shields less frequent in PvP.

Now you're fucking with PvE where sorceres already are at a disadvantage. As a sorc healer, empowered ward is pretty much the only sorc skill you can use to buff your group, giving people minor intellect for 20 secounds. Now they've reduced it to 10 secounds. It was great being 20 seconds because it would linger around in case some mob decided to fuck with the twilight, arguably the best burst heal in the game if you could keep the fucking tits on wings alive.

But I'll keep my bitching in reservation that I may very well be wrong, I haven't played an awful lot on the test server and I may very well be proven wrong in the next patch, maybe the buff to the negate magick ultimate will make up for the shitty shield changes.

Maybe running around to your damaged keeps and repairing walls? Might be closer to the factional warfare deplexing or whatever, because you're still at slight risk. There's nothing i'm aware of that you can do that will keep on doing itself for 5-10 minutes and only require minor adjustment each time.

>In PvP your shield won't last that long anyway so it's not a problem
When focused, in an open field, of course, but only when fully exposed, and in those circumstances, it's only on to give time to react, and you're pretty much fucked anyway. When used with cover, the shields can and do last longer than 6 seconds, and they go down when you're ready to expose yourself for long enough to do your thing.

With the buff at 6 seconds, you've only got a couple of seconds worth of coverage before it wears out, after you've run back from behind whatever rock or pole you were hiding behind. It also forces sorcs to be constantly on their backbar to recast. The solution is either to have one shield on the front bar and lose entropy, replacing it with surge on the backbar and thus losing the +% health from entropy, or moving the finisher to the back bar. Either option is a whole lot more fucking around with bar swapping and a general nerf to survivability and QOL, but I guess this is a stamina patch and it is their turn.

>>143848952
the real solution is to let us bind all 12 skills to physical keys and have the game do weapon swapping automatically like a civilized pc game would and not have these console handicaps. The servers dont play togeather, theres no reason to punish pc

>The reason there's no Imga or Sloads is because Bethesda didn't wanted them in the game.

I doubt it, it'll have to be at least twice the size of Orsinium. Vvardenfell has too many major towns to be the same size as Orsinium which has 3 including the city itself.

Thing is, they've said that the next expansion after DB wont have a new area, just housing and stuff, so hopefully that means they're spending roughly twice the time on the area in the expansion after that (I'd assume the winter/early next year one), which might indicate that it's gonna be a big area.

Honestly, getting a 30 day subscription will give you the most bang for your bucks since you get access to all the DLC.

I play on PC EU on the non-champion campaign, IC is pretty dead but it may come alive after the patch due to factions being able to take over districts (some say it will be too popular and kill PvP in Cyrodiil). The dungeon White-Gold tower continues the main story.

If you like the single player I'd say Orsinium since the story is pretty nice (it's a continuation of the main story, sort of. Don't know what happens if you play it before the main story.) and there's almost always looking for other players to group up and do the world bosses with.

Theives Guild is pretty meh. Play trough the story if you go for the 30 day subscription advice, then leave it.

it's gonna be similar to Thieves Guild: building up the guild, dealing with city problems, and murder quests throughout tamriel. All I care about is the base game changes to all the classes and the buffs to stamina based builds, maybe I'll get that special edition for the wolf mount fuck yea

>>143877467
it was on one of thier live shows, they 'claimed' housing will be a dlc with no new areas and it will be this year.

As a tank, should I put all my points and enchantments into health? or stamina?

>>143886691
You want about 28k HP when buffed, generally this is done with food and enchantments, so every point should be in your stat pool (stam or mag) with your enchantments split between health and the stat, and using either Orzorga's max hp+stat regen food (the best if you're a stam tank, to give you the most stam regen possible) or just regular blue max hp+max stat, to give you the last 5k or so.

Any more than 28-30k hp is a waste of stats that could better be spent on more of your chosen stat pool, and anything less will put you in dangerously low HP territory if you're doing trials or vet dungeons with shitty healers/DDs.

Vanus Galerion is so goddamn annoying.

If he doesn't die, I'm going to be upset.

How to dungeon finder? I've been playing for two weeks, queueing every time I'm online, and I have yet to do a single dungeon, because queues are DEAD. yes, yes I know, "shouldn't roll dps", but fuck you, I'm shit at healing or tanking

>>143890684
roll as healer and then act as a dps

>>143890684

I get queues pretty regularly, NA PC.

>>143890684
If you're shit at healing and tanking, chances are pretty good you're actually shit at doing damage. Healers are just dps who also heal when needed.

>>143890675
I'm going to assume you haven't played Oblivion.

>>143891006
I'd sooner kill myself

>>143891403
even if that were the case, it has nothing to do with queue times

Hello.

New player here, picked nightblade for my first class, currently playing dual wield, but I keep hearing that 2h is better dps. Is it?

What's the point of Impulse?
I see it being highly praised but it does 3 times less damage than my C-Frags and it takes much faster to kill those 3 enemies through single target combos than to tickle them to death with it.
I see no reason why would I use it instead of Lighting Splash?
Yeah it's cheap but that's about it.

>>143902191
both are reliable picks just choose your prefered weapon, not hard

>>143878489
Why ;_;
I do PvP a lot and it would be lovely to have access to the Imperial City
I'm considering buying 1 months of ESO plus (leveling speed bonus as well as other shit would be noice as well) and then probably IC for the crowns from it
t. another anon

>>143902191
Dual wield is better dps because you're using two weapons increasing weapon damage.

>>143903909
get 2 months for less in OP's link, goy

>>143902191
DW is better DPS if you use class skills (surprise attack, biting jabs etc.) as your main damage skills, as it gives you more base weapon damage.

However, if you use weapon skills as your main damage source, 2H is better for single target (wrecking blow light attack weaving), while DW is better for AoE (meme tornado).

2H also gives you access to rally, which is vital if you are doing PvE without a self heal and haven't unlocked vigour yet.

Once you get VMA daggers/axes though, they are best in slot for stam DPS, they got a gigantic buff in DB and were already top tier.

>>143903940
Anon, come on, don't tease the newbie.

>>143907585
But that's literary how it works. Are you a magicka damagedealer spamming your class skills, you'll do more damage with two daggers than with a fire staff.

>>143908862
>magicka damagedealer spamming your class skills

Not to mention most class skills will have mutations that then scale based on stamina and weapon damage. Thinking of focusing on Stamina for my Khajiit Nightblade soon.

>>143903909
buy from resalers nigga

I buy my 2 month non-recurring eso plus from G2A for 13 euro

>>143860436
hadn't Balmora only existed for 400 years as of TES3? regardless, sadrith mora and tel vos would be pretty fuckin neato. hope they get the ambiance of desolate rock knives sticking out of the sea as far as the eye can see right.

I hope never, we don't need more spoonfed lore.

How worried should I be about the meta? There is some stuff I want to do but the "meta" is stopping me. I'm not talking about obvious stuff like hybrid builds or anything, but like racials and the like.

>>143912982
when are they going to subtly suggest Queen Mary Sue is KINMUNE

>>143913653
The meta can be bent in some cases but be wary of breaking it entirely. You dont want to be suboptimal, do you?

>>143913824
>the meta can be bent in some aspects

as in what?

I understand that things like stamina/magicka hybrid builds, and staff on a stamina build/vice versa aren't really possible. How much do racials matter? Would I be gimped playing a stamina build on a high elf/breton?

Do your point totals for emporership mean anything at the end of the campaign if you never make emperor? Like do you get better rewards for top 100 or something?

>>143914714
No, just play what you think looks cool

Except Dunmer Vampire Dragonknight tank > all

>>143917754
>just play what you think looks cool
this

What's the point of these random ass dungeons that are just crafting stations?

>>143918106
they are for crafting special sets of armour
http://uesp.net/wiki/Online:Craftable_Sets

>>143915854
The better ranking, the better reward in both gold and item. The top 2% gets a legendary item.

Do anyone have an actual time when they'll release Dark Brotherhood?

>>143914714
max magicka/stamina racials are significant, other racials are not so significant.

Why is this game so much fun? I haven't enjoyed and delved into an ES game this much since Morrowind, having 2 friends to quest and dungeon with is a total blast, we're currently rocking 2 mages, one for pure attack and one for pure support, and a nightblade. What are some other fun combos for future playthroughs? We've already got a triple Templar run planned for maximum praising of the Sun, though I'm not sure how well that would work late game.

>>143922436
>Why is this game so much fun?
it's not. There's a reason we call it atlanTES

>>143922436

Well, admittedly, the game is lacking. A lot. In a lot of areas, but it really is the closest translation we'll have of a TES game into the online multiplayer RPG format, and does so with surprisingly decent fidelity given the entirely different engine. Furthermore, the multiplayer aspect basically amounts to "Hey, I can finally let my friends see all those domb and crazy choices I make in a TES game without it being on twitch! And drag them down with me as I pick a fight with the guards!"

I also find the combat more interesting than vanilla Skyrim, Graphically, things feel like a lateral move as it's better in some areas, less in others.

Also nice that major cities are not behind load screens, this lends to making the world feel surprisingly big. Actually the world IS pretty damn big, even for just one faction.

I still do wish there were more opportunities to use persuade and intimidate with different outcomes, I would like it if Guards were just tough and not invulnerable, maybe some slightly more dynamic environments and zone events but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Also, The crossbow skill from the Fighters' Guild Skill line is the coolest skill the in the game.

>Flip, flick, click thwip!

It almost does make up for the lack of actual crossbows.

oh, another thing I like: dwemer ruins are not fucking boring.

>>143924008
>dwemer ruins are not fucking boring
they're full of retards running around

>>143922436
I say it's on the combat. There's a degree of complexity and variation without feeling abstract or being reduced to "stand in a place and click these keys and wait on your cooldowns".

>>143922805
/v/ pls

>>143925126
I agree with this. I never enjoyed combat in TES games. For me TES was adventure and storytelling. In this game, combat is fun varied and challenging and PVP is undoubtedly the most exciting combat I've ever played even if I'm not that good at it yet.

I've been looking at TESO for some time now, and I was wondering if I should get into it. My question is, is there a way to so things without raiding? Specifically, it would be nice to trade for profit, though I don't know if it's possible to own a shop.

back when I played EVE Online I liked how you could trade for profit, and there was a fairly complex economy in that game to support this type of play.

>>143926337
You don't have to participate in raiding at all. Most of the content and gameplay is pve. The economy however is not nearly as complex as EVE if what I have heard about EVE is correct.

>>143927139
Is it possible to make money from trading? Like buy low, sell high?

>>143912428
no, you need Stam to block, magic tanks are the shitiest tanks holy shit

wat

>>143927965
Not really, it's not that kind of game. You can make money, but the economy is more about gathering and crafting items for sale.

>>143927965
Yes, absolutely, there's an addon to control the market prices. And lots of different stores to check.

>>143926337
Best you get is guild have their own traders and have to compete for the best spots e.g. capital cities, in terms of trading for profit the best you can do is go to a guild trader in butt fuck middle of no where and hope that someone put an item up for 10k and has no idea it worth 50k. Also I've heard rumours on forums that top trading guilds work together to fixes prices on items.

>>143928071
I fell out of the world a couple times in the early weeks of the game.

>>143927982
Yeah but I was hoping there was an alternative way, seems like it would be fun

>>143928071
Sounds like an adventure.

Seems like you escaped the matrix.

Look around, if you're close to vvanderfell try actually riding there by looking on your map and see if the devs have any work in progress over there idk.

There's no but global auction house but guilds renting spots to put up shop. Each week the guilds are given the opportunity to bid on the spot. This results in less lucrative guilds having shops in rather remote locations while the top tiers can be found in the capitals and other important locations.

This leads to the top tier guilds having a constant rotation in members since the guilds have to be lucrative to be able to keep their positions. I'm part of 3 guilds, all of them different top tier places and they all solve it differently.

Two of em demands the members to give the guild 1k gold/week, that the guild later use to bid on spots. The third one expects you to sell for 20k/week, and get enough gold from a tax they take from each transaction. All of them have a monthly lottery where you can buy a ticket for 1k, where half the money goes to bidding on the spot and half to a pot someone wins.

As far as I know, the people who have the most money earn it almost exclusively by buying cheap and selling high, and knowing what to buy and sell. Tomorrow a new patch will be released so I've personally bought a lot of crafting materials and equipment for stamina builds that I'm selling for a slightly higher price. The reason for this is that they've changing the level system so a lot of people will go from being almost last level to last level without doing anything (they'll jump from veteran rank 13 to 160 champion point in ESO lingo), and a lot of changes have been done to the stamina builds that will make people want to try them out.

Heh, two posts late.

Damn despite people shitting on hurr durr lore breaks etc. the quests in this game are really great, vary TES-ish. I mean not the mechanics (too many repetitive press 5 buttons, do 4 things) but the whole story behind them.
The world is pretty dark (again, kinda typical for TES) and filled with suffering, corruption, dark magic and other unpleasant shit

There's a lot of really fucked up things. Bosmers terrorizing Argonians by eating their eggs (not including the Dominion plan to genocide all Argonians trough magical sterilization), Hagravens eating people alive (starting by sucking out their eyes), and attending funerals of people you chose to sacrifice.

There's also a quest about a servant who fell in love with her now dead master. If you contact the ghost you'll hear he just played with her and didn't give a shit about her. Tell her the truth and you'll find her corpse next to the ocean

like I've said, it's surprisingly still close to a TES game for being an MMO, huh?

Also, on the note of lore, is Abnurn Tharn supposed to be the ancestor to Jager Tharn, the antagonist of TES: Arena, same family, or just someone who happens to share the same surname?

>>143934249
It's implied he is and I think one of the devs mentioned it but I can't find a source confirming it. He have like 16 kids or something.

>>143934249
He is from the same family of nobles, that's as much as i know, so yes, they're related at least in bloodline.

>>143934249
Does he come back in Imperial City or they just drop him out of the story?

>>143937927
He doesn't come back, however his daughter is the current empress of what's left of the empire and the white-gold tower dungeon is about her.

I was really loving this game.

Completing these coldharbor quests to finish the story line is going to make me quit. Flat out.

They are the worst fucking quests, and the worst fucking zone, that I have ever fucking encountered in any fucking MMO.

Fuck off.

>>143940826
Why's that? I liked Coldharbor

>>143940826
Same, I struggled through like 3 quests and have just stayed in the campaign for the last week. Is every quest like 40 minutes of running back and forth between the farthest possible places in the area 8 times?

>>143940826
I thought Coldharbor was some of the best content in the game.
I liked the quests and environment. The main story was interesting, you were rebuilding a city and you met all these people who made their homes in Coldharbor. You also got to work with some of the main villians in the faction questlines.

>>143940826
I personally liked Coldharbour, the fact of building your stronghold in the enemies home plane is really unique. Wrothgar was great too if you get the DLC. I hated the AD and thieves guild questline, shit was just boring.

>>143940826
Yeah, I get this gloomy feel from the look of Coldharbour, but I suspect that's half the point. Quests seemed pretty good tho, currently playing through it as you are.
