A shame I was too young to realize that I probably should've stuck it in a frame or something instead of pinning it to my corkboard.

is the elder scrolls online nice?

I've had great fun with it, and i haven't even done half of the stuff there is.

>>145347921
You're obviously gonna get biased answers here. I like it due to the combat, the lore, and the flexibility you as a player have to play it however you want. There is a meta but it's fairly plastic.

How easy it is to install and uninstall addons is a huge plus on PC. You can even install them while you're having the game running. It just werks.

Nah I still got my original one, it has some tears at the folding seams but it is fine otherwhise. (And I still got the combined Vvardenfell+Mournhold map that came with Tribunal in mint condition.)
Did the patch that removed vet ranks kinda fuck up blacksmithing while you are going through Cadwell's silver/gold? After the patch, the ore you find seems to be only for crafting gear well below the CP level of the enemies of the area.

>>145350319
Enjoy your eternally gimped character after dealing with Sheogorath.

>>145350419
It didn't fuck up as much as they didn't care about changing it. They can change the armour of the orcs in a single sidequest to make it match the armour found in a new DLC with next to non ever finding out, but they won't bother fixing so you get appropriate crafting materials after the CP change.

So my BF and I were looking at getting into ESO. Whats the player base like these days? We were put off by the on release problems. Would it be a long grind to catch up to the rest of the player base?

>>145351483

Not really. Play is as a coop ESO and you won't notice it.

>>145351483
Really you don't need to grind much for most things unless you want to do Trials or Veteran dungeons.

PvP can be started as low as level 10, granted you'll probably just be using siege weapons or charging in zergs rather than killing players 1v1 until maybe level 20-25.

>>145351638
It's a hell of a lot of fun, although it could probably take a bit to get into until you get crafted sets and such, but nothing too difficult to get, or buy.

Nope. No bullying allowed in PvE-zones.

> Characters will have their level scaled the same way that we currently scale players to the level of DLC zones (Imperial City, Orsinium, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood).

So they're essential taking out the levels on the enemies? So we won't see level 10 or level 30 bandits, they'll all be CP160 bandits that everyone bellow C160 gets scaled up to?

Crap, I just realized I should have called my sorc "I put on my robe and psijic hat"

>>145361412
it is too long man

I'm new to this game, where can I find some basic class skill tree introductions? I don't want to commit to either Dark Magic or Storm Calling without seeing what looks flashier first.

>>145361723
you don't have to comit, it's not like other MMOs. there's plenty of skill points to go around. keep at least one ability of each tree on your main bar, and it will level both at the same time.

>>145361860
But it's not like The Secret World or traditional Elder Scrolls games where I can just fuck around and buy every skill point either. If I level up Dark Magic, but end up only using Storm Calling I'm just wasting my levels, which also have a hard cap.

So after watching E3 I kinda wanna get into this game. I played the beta way back but didn't play after launch cause I had other shit to do. I got plenty of time to get lost into a new game so I wanna try this out. How's the PvE community for this game? I typically play a tank in most MMO's. Does this game have something like that or is it more like GW2?

>>145362112
Also if I wanna play with people from this board do I have to pick a specific faction?

>>145361723
You don't commit to any skill tree. In the end you'll be using skills from 3-6 trees.

>>145362186
>>145362112
I'm part of 2 dedicated endgame PvE guilds that are close to the guild pop cap- 500.

Tanking's uh.. involved in this game, to say the least.

Most of us in NA PC are EP, but dungeon content is cross-faction, and soon all pve content will be too.

>>145362057
You'll have plenty of skill points by the end to have every skill and passive you could want on a character. And respeccing is cheap anyway if you find yourself lacking.

>>145362112
>>145362186
Personally I'd play dps first cause you can actually kill things at a reasonable pace. Tanks aren't needed anyway until you unlock dungeons at lvl 45 and respeccing is cheap.

The One Tamriel thing sounds like it'll be implemented over the summer into the fall, so it's not in the game yet. You can group with people of other factions to do dungeons and trials, but otherwise you're stuck with people of your own faction until they update.

>There is no new server. Japan will default to NA but be able to pick from NA or EU.
BRAVO ZENI, BRAVO!

>>145362647
>>145362415
Forgot to mention I'm from EU. What faction do most people play in EU? Or should not worry about that now and just pick what I like most and tough it through till that one tamriel thing?

ayyee maintenance finally finished

I stopped playing after I was forced out of the non-veteran PVP continent and didn't want to compete with the hordes of maxed characters unless I would grind for hundreds of hours.

Is the grind to max veteran level +champ points just as mind-numbingly tedious as it was a year ago, or should I give it another try?

Still, the fact that it's not F2P in this day and age is a big plus.

Oh you did, did you?

>>145364510
You might want to run through silver and gold cadwell's play the other faction quests for the skill points and books/shards etc. You should hit CP 160 during/towards the end of silver. No idea on how far gold will take you, but I'll probably know in a couple of weeks.

>>145364739

From what I understand, the base game is $60-80, you have to pay like $10-15 for each of the three factions (wat) in in-game currency only, and you have to pay $15 per expansion also in in-game currency only (wat).

Or, you can pay a monthly sub to access all DLC (and factions?) without having to buy them, unless you stop subbing.

Dunno, you tell me.

Their pricing model is very opaque, and since the game's not very popular, good info that's not outdated is hard to find.

If someone buys it for $60 on Steam, do they get everything, without having to sub or buy DLCs?

>>145365227
Read OP. Base game's on sale from $10-20.

Really don't want people spending $60 on this.

I don't understand, how will ZOS handle different alliance members in the same zone? I don't want to see any filthy Daggers or ADs in Mournhold, I want to cut their spines and put their heads on a spike.

So... basically exactly what I posted >>145365227, but with slightly different prices.

>also nobody, not even people with collapsed frontal bones pay full price for anything on steam.

That's true, but the consequence of that has been an increasing quantity of DLC, and more expensive DLC.

They're going to snake and Jew and gyp that money out of you one way or another, or at least try to.

Well, summer sale is this month. Might consider picking up ESO for 75% off and subbing for a few months for a laugh.

>>145366405
>>145366405
>Read OP. Base game's on sale from $10-20.

I did, but I'm not keen on providing any financial info to obscure, slightly shady-looking websites with garbled-ass alphabet soup URLs, ever.

And PayPal, well, those faggots are shady in their own right, though I've been forced to use PP over the years.

>>145367107
I'd much rather pay the game, then pay by piece like this than pay for the base game + subs + expansions like WoW.

I don't understand the complaints, what would you consider the ideal MMO pricing model?

>>145367281
I guess OP should be clearer. DLgamer is an authorized key reseller according to Zenimax so that is 100% safe.

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/171736/deactivation-of-fraudulently-obtained-esotu-game-keys

The other ones are cheaper but are not authorized. Haven't heard any problems with regards to them, but at the very least ESO does cost $20 via DLgamer.

>From what I understand, the base game is $60-80
$20 from DLgamer, an authorized key reseller.

>you have to pay like $10-15 for each of the three factions (wat) in in-game currency only
completely false? I guess the explorer's pack for $10 allows you to pick any race any faction, otherwise you're limited to the faction the race you play belongs in.

>you have to pay $15 per expansion also in in-game currency only (wat).
Depends on whether you buy crowns when they go on sale for 40% off or not. So $9 an expansion. And depends on which expansion, they are priced differently depending on amount of content.

>>145368421

How do I know if I'm shit or if my team is shit? Is there a rule of thumb? Am I expected to taunt trash mobs between boss engagements?

I don't think trash mobs need to taunted. If you're DK, pull far away mobs into the pile everyones' AOEing and, in any case, AOE yourself to kill everything quicker.

Hey I played this game during beta and surprisingly I liked it. But only now I'm considering it because some friends are going to play.

I heard it had some sort of PvP continent, can I play 100% of my time there after I reach it? Not really interested in shitty pve without pvp

>>145371925
Cyrodiil (the map of Oblivion if you played that game) is PvP. It's entirely possible to just go around and play PvP after you've reached level 10, that should take like a day for a completely new player.

I forgot this existed after the terrible reception at launch. I've heard they made some big improvements though and the no restrictions announcement peaked my interest.

Is it worth giving a try? Is there a free trial? I promise to avatarfag endlessly and make your thread lively and awful.

>>145372115
No free trial but buying the base game for $20 using the DLgamer link in the OP is worth it.

I think it's good. I didn't play it at the start because of all the bad reviews but I heard it got better after it went B2P, and having played it I do agree it's a good game for $20. Mostly playing this to play something elder scrolls related until ES6 is released.

I'm not a huge fan of ES, I don't dislike it but I don't seek it out specifically. I like MMOs with fun abilities that aren't just "hit guy" and "hit guy harder", are there any of those? Like mind control of high mobility stuff? Also what's the endgame like? Thanks anon.

HOLY SHIT

http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2016/06/12/matt-firors-message-from-be3

>>145374510
There are some fun abilities and i think the coolest ones come from werewolf and vampire skill trees, you should go check those out(yes, you get both of those skill lines from cash shop, BUT once you have one of those you can infect others. people mostly sell it)
If i were you wouldn't worry about endgame. I've been playing this game pretty actively for a few months now and i've been too caught up on questing and pvp(which is fun imo)

>>145374510
I can't really say since ESO's the only MMO I played except for WoW to level 20 (and only to get the hearthstone portrait).

I used to play a lot of Dota and no ESO abilities surprised me per se by their uniqueness.

The combat is good, reminds me of mass effect 3 multiplayer in that you have dodge roll and animation cancelling. Definitely enjoyed it more than Skyrim's.

As I understand it, leveling in ESO is more involved than in other MMOs because of voiced quests, and fewer kill x fetch quests. I found it fine personally, like Skyrim-tier quests? Playing through it was like playing a mediocre single player RPG. I played WoW to get to level 20 and found the intro quests way worse in comparison, and completely understand why people say the real game starts at max level for WoW.

>>145375318
>yes, you get both of those skill lines from cash shop

You CAN get those from the cash shop if you want to, but you can also get it for free from other players e.g. guildies.

>>145374510
>Like mind control of high mobility stuff?

There's tons of stuns, life steals, and leaps.

The main draws I should probably talk about here are the two "Diseases" skill lines.

Both are caught by having a player with the disease come and bite you. These two skill lines are Vampire and Werewolf.

Vampire completely morphs your character to the pale white skinned texture in pic related. You'll gain one of the strongest ults in the game, a "Drain life" spell that's a life steal, and "Mist form." (Which is one of the strongest escape skills in the game)

The trade offs to the Vampire skill line are lower rates of health regeneration and WAY more damage from fire.

You need to balance the trade offs and skills by actually feeding on NPCs.

There's four stages. At stage 1, you won't take any additional damage from Fire and your health will regenerate normally, but your Vampire skills won't do much and they'll cost a lot to use. At stage 4, you take 75% more fire damage and your health regenerated 25% slower, but your Vampire skills can kill and they cost basiclly nothing.

The Werewolf skill line will allow you to transform into a Werewolf. This completely changes your skill bar and only allows you to use the Werewolf skills. You're a walking death machine. Just spamming your "Auto attack" will kill most enemies. For large enemies, you have a really good self-heal and a DoT. You also get a leap and a fear ability.

The downside is it's only for a set amount of time: 20 seconds.

You can reset the timer and stay in Werewolf form by eating the corpses of the enemies that you kill. Each time you feast, the timer resets.

>>145375318
God don't buy werewolf of vampire from the real cash shop. Just join some random big guild and there will guaranteed be someone who will bite you for free.

The cash shop bites are a new thing, the old way was to get bitten by one of the vamp or werewolf spawns at a low % rate of infection. By today it's trivial to get werewolf/vamp because most players infected each other from then on.

>>145375684
>>145375694
Calm down guys. I didn't buy it from the cash shop. Random people sell those for 6k on /zone so why would i? and yeah of course guildies can give it you completely free. I don't have either of those at all.

>>145375853

>>145375318
>>145375512
>>145375691
That sounds pretty interesting actually, thanks.
So how do classes/skill types work? Is it like other ES games where you aren't really a defined class and can just sort of raise whatever skills? I'll take a look at some of the abilities on the wiki because now I'm interested. How necessary is min/maxing or can I just pick all the shitty fun abilities?
Sorry for all the questions but $20 means I'll be eating a lot of rice and dried beans for the week.

>>145376104
Yeah. The classes mostly define the theme of your abilities like nightblade is a stealth/dark magic class and dragonknight has flame abilities. You can tank/dps/heal on any classes. I haven't had issues with min/maxing so you can pick what you want and for group content you'll just need to get the job done.
rice and beans, eh? lucky you. it's mostly porridge for me...

its not going f2p

>>145376104
>So how do classes/skill types work?

Each class gets access to three diffrent skill trees. Each class's skill trees fits a diffrent flavor, so you're really just picking your character's "Style."

>Templar
Bright yellow glow shit. Holy spears and shit. You're either a priest or a paladin.

>Dragonknight
Fire, iron, and stone. You'll be flinging chains around the place, shooting fire breath, and conjuring up lava whips. You can also throw rocks at people and make them fall on their ass, and that's funny to see.

>Nightblade
The only class with a stealth skill. Anyone can crouch and go hidden, but nightblades get to actually go invisible.

Your other traits are going to be blades made of blood and shadow, summoning shades to help you fight, and stealing life with vines and thorns.

>Sorcerer
This is the class that gets to summon Daedra. Pretty much the only class with any real conjuration.

Your other skills involve dark crystals and a metric fuck ton of lightning.

Other than that, whatever weapon you use gets its own skills, you get skills from whatever guilds you want to join (All of them, trust me,) and you'll get even more skills from the two PvP skill trees that level as you kill other players in the PvP zone.

Basically, class means nothing. There's hundreds of diffrent skills to choose from, and your class only dictates three of your trees.

>>145376104
Ok, if $20 means you're eating only rice and beans I'd have to say don't buy this game.

Classes give unique skills and passives, which tend to influence builds. Usually you focus on either magicka or stamina for each class. And there's enough skill points to get just about every skill (though it may be tight if you have maxed all 6 crafting professions).

>>145375853
you do realise you can get it without paying either cash in crown store OR gold to some greedy fuck, by just getting bitten by an NPC in the last zone of your faction?

So I normally run ESO on all ultra settings between 45-55 FPS in the open world and 60+ inside, is there any way to pump my FPS up in the open world? It sometimes dips down and goes down to 25-30 depending on the area

Any tips?

>>145378854
lower settings

>>145379020
Even though my system requirements are extremely above what they have listed needed?

>>145379214
yes

>>145379535
What setting impacts performance the most?

>>145379678
You should try to find where your fps lower more specifically. Like if its water that causes it to go down, then lower water quality etc.
But in general shadows are kinda demanding

I was standing around waiting for the right NPC to spawn when someone shouted "free bite!" in chat.

>>145376430
>>145376834
Nightblade sounds pretty fun then. Can I go pure caster on it? I'm not much for warrior archetypes. Now I'm getting excited.
What's the focus of the actual gameplay on? Exploration and dungeons? Quest grinding?

>>145376879
Maybe not rice and beans but my motto is "Live like a poor man so you can save like a rich man". Basically I'm a jew.

>>145379881
That's a good idea, I noticed it mostly went down in large forest areas, so it might be shadows come to think of it, I'll do some tests, thanks.

>>145379951
You can go full caster on it. Don't know how good it is, but it's a possibility. The focus of the gameplay? i think you listed all of them. Mostly you will be doing quests to level up but you are also encouraged to explore and do dungeons. Just try not to rush to the max level, just sit back and relax.
>>145380074
I'm happy to help.

>>145379678
Shadow are the most demanding thing for your computer. If you are not experiencing fps drops in cities but outdoors just shave away some from your viewing distance and maybe lower the shadow settings a bit until you find your sweet spot.

>>145379951
Everything works for PVE as long as you don't go full loco t-b-h. I got bored with my destruction staff sorcerer when I was in my level 30's and switched to dual wield so take it easy and experiment. If what you try won't work you can switch to something else and it might take some skill levelling but it is not really a huge hassle you'll be just fine.

>>145381043
>>145380467
I'm reading over the abilities now. So I can't mix and match between classes right? I like the ability that makes clones of yourself but Geomancers are cool too. I'm also disappointed that all the conjuration skills are demons rather than a Necromancy branch.

>>145382301
>So I can't mix and match between classes right?

Correct

> I like the ability that makes clones of yourself but Geomancers are cool too.

The "Geomancer" I'm pretty sure you're talking about is the Sorcerer's Storm Atronach. It's just one skill, and the summon doesn't last that long.

I will admit it wrecks shit, though.

If you're talking about all of the earth & stone style skills the Dragonknight gets, then make a Dragonknight. I'm not kidding. They are fun as hell and you won't regret it.

>Necromancy branch

Players have been wanting a Necromancy skill line since day one. We'll get it through DLC or something, but it's annoying that it isn't in yet.

>>145383108
I'm talking about Dragonknights, ya. Can I make them pure/mostly casters? Their abilities definitely look like a lot of fun. The Vampire skills look really fun too. I'm not a fan of fire thematically so could I go with the earth skills mostly and make them do poison damage (I assume the morphs listed function as a replacement to the base skill) then go vampire too?
I'm just coming off of Tree of Savior where the class diversity is an illusion so I'm a bit paranoid about making a garbage character.

>>145383872
Every class can be played magicka or stamina, dps, healer, or tank.

Only combination that I'd say is unusual and I've no idea how they work are Stamina Sorcs, or Sorc Tanks.

>>145383872
Also in general fire/lightning/frost/magic are magicka abilities which means you're playing a magicka build and poison/disease/physical are physical abilities which means you're playing a stamina build.

Very few things scale of HP, but the dragon knight igneous shield, the templar sun shield, and the undaunted bone shield come to mind.

>>145383872
>Can I make them pure/mostly casters?

Dragonknights make one of the best DPS casters in the game.

Any class can be a pure caster, any class can be a pure melee, any class can be melee+bow.

What you can't do (Or, actually, is just really, REALLY, hard to do correctly) is be melee+caster or bow+caster.

>I'm not a fan of fire thematically

Eh... in that case, might not want to go Dragonknight after all.

1. If you're going pure caster, almost all of your casts are going to involve fire in some way.

2. Even the poison morphs show some kind of fire (Think: green flames)

>I assume the morphs listed function as a replacement to the base skill

You are correct.

>I'm just coming off of Tree of Savior where the class diversity is an illusion so I'm a bit paranoid about making a garbage character.

It's impossible to gimp your character. Respecs are 50 gold per skill point. At max level, my respecs cost only 10K gold.

>>145384214
>Stamina Sorcs

Pretty much stay in lightning form at all times and pop overload when you can.

Dark Exchange is really good to use, and your summons help with tanking.

>>145384554
Oh so I shouldn't go Dragonknight/vampire stamina caster and use a bow? I was thinking of going Wood Elf with it since it seemed to synergize really well.
Green fire is cool. I just have a hate boner for pyromancy and I don't know why.

Guess I'm getting the game. I hope I don't regret it. I promise to avatarfag a bunch.

>>145384214
Stam sorc works fine for me.

Flurry as my sole damage skill + expert hunter from fighters guild skill line for crit bonus + surge for self heal on crit and damage buff + bound armaments for armor and max stamina buff + hurricane form for movement speed and physical and spell resistances. I have storm atronach for my ulti until I can get fighters guild ulti for bonus weapon damage.

This build is far from optimal probably but it melts away regular mob and unqiue world boss hp pretty good and it is plently fun for me.

>>145386271
I forgot to add that I use medium armor and medium armor passives for stamina and more crits.

This is fine. Green fire is poison which works with stamina. I don't know what you mean by caster, but if you use damaging/healing skills that use magicka it is not recommended if you are going a stamina build. There are a lot of magicka utility skills that are fine.

>>145388283
I just rechecked the wiki and it looks like just about every ability uses magicka, even when you make them do poison damage. I thought they were stamina. I guess I'll need to rethink it.
Is this because you only want to focus on increasing your resource pool for one or does equipment give things like "Increases damage for stamina abilities". I want to use the undaunted spider ability too, but it's stamina.

Also, how much does account name matter? I bought it and it says it will be visible to other players. I don't know how much to autism over this.

>>145388823
Ability damage scales off of the resource it uses. Bigger resource pool=more dmg. Don't worry about the account name, just don't make anything like "420noscopeuberl33tpwn3rfckingurmum"

So around how many people are playing this on PC? I was gifted this from a friend but i dont want to get into it if its ded game.

>>145390059
Far away from dead. At least on EU servers.

>>145388823
Guild membership is accountwide, your dunmer character will share the same guilds with your breton and altmer characters. I think it is the way it is so people can recognize eachother but yeah I think it is actually kind of dumb but nothing you can do about it so worrying about it would be pointless.

It is nice that you are reading up on skills and such. Some skills will require pure magicka and some skills will start as magicka with a possibilty to be morphed into a stamina skill. You gotta figure out which skills you want to use and what do their morphs do and then assign your attributes accordingly. If you are going to use magicka and stamina skills you gotta give points to both of them, if you'll be using stamina more than magicka you can emphasize more on stamina than magicka or vice versa.

You can reset your attributes, skills and morphs from shrines of stendarr and akatosh so don't worry about making mistakes with your build. You can reset them for few thousands of gold (maybe less if your level is low but don't worry if you hold onto your money you'll have 10k+ by the time you are level 20. By the way loot everything that can be sold to merchants and sell them. Five gold is not a lot but when you start selling things you don't need those five golds stack up to impressive amounts until you can wrap your head around player trading. Collect every craft material you find while questing and store the ones you don't need in your bank so you can sell them in a guild store later for a lot of monnies.

Also upgrade your backpack, check your map when you are in a major city and find a pack merchant. You'll need a lot of bag slots and it is a worthy investment even though it gets pretty damn expensive for an early level character after you upgrade it three times.

I don't know how new you are but I hope this info dump helps a bit.

>>145391367
>Guild membership is accountwide
serverside

>>145392164
Oh yes sorry about that, I think only the shit you buy from crown store is accountwide.

holy shit, so let me see if I got this correct

to sell items, one needs to be in a guild that does trading. this guild will have its own vendor, in which members of that guild can post listings, right?

So each guild trader will have a different stock?

So if I want to buy something from the market, I have to go through every single guild trader, in order to fight what I want/get the best price?

what kind of retarded trading system is this

or is there a hidden "show all listings from all guilds" feature I don't know about?

>>145395619
Yes, that's how it is. And that's why it's possible to buy things for cheap and sell for more.

You can spot a retard sheep by his opinion on ESO.

>>145391367
So account name is what people will see on the guild list? Thanks.
I appreciate any info. I like to have context going in since I hate making alts and don't want to fuck up the first time around. I assume the only really permanent things are class and race then?

>>145389767
Damn, that spider web ability seems really neat. Maybe I'll look at more stamina oriented classes then. I don't like warrior archetypes much though. So if I do go with magicka DragonKnight I assume I'm using a staff?

>>145399736
Magicka Dragonknight synergies well with Fire staves.

wew dying general

Bow builds? What class?

>>145388823
Each skill has two morphs. A lot of your class skills will have a morph that takes them from being a magicka ability and makes them a Stamina ability instead.

ALL of the dragonknight's poison skills are stamina morphs of fire skills.

>>145390059
US servers are alive and well. There's always at least one PvP campaign at population cap, and the group finder (Normally) doesn't take long.

>>145399736
>I hate making alts

This game became VERY alt-friendly with the last patch.

Before the last patch, each character had to:

>Complete the main story
>Get to level 50 (On average this takes a little over 1,000,000EXP)
>Get to VR16 (Each VR takes 1,000,000EXP. So, 16 MILLION EXP)
>Get gear

The last patch did away with all of this. Now, the VR grind is replaced by an account leveling system. Once one character hits what used to be VR16, any character you get to level 50 will be VR16.

Right lads.

Favourite quest or quests and why.

>>145402060
Oh, I think I was mixing in the Earthen Heart abilities with their poison abilities. I guess they only have like 3. This uses a similar system to GW2 where you have a bunch of abilities but only so many spaces on your bar, right? Do weapon skills take space on that bar or is it separate like GW2 as well? If not can I just mostly skip weapon skills? None of them look too interesting to me.

>>145402507
It's more because I like having one character I get attached to. Good to know though.

>>145401864
Templar if you want to be a druid

Night blade if you want to stealth snipe

Sorcerer if you want to do bow & melee

Dragonknight if you don't plan to use any class skills ever.

>>145402676
You can be pretty cheeky with the bow as a sorcerer. Easy access to minor and major expeditions makes you run at super sanic speed and you teleport behind them and go "pss, nothing personal, n'wah"

>>145402661
>This uses a similar system to GW2 where you have a bunch of abilities but only so many spaces on your bar, right?

You have two diffrent bars. You swap weapons to switch between bars. So, you can have a Two-Handed bar and then also a Bow bar. Any combo works as long as you stick to Stamina/Magicka weapons.

Each bar has 5 skill slots and then an ultimate skill slot.

>Do weapon skills take space on that bar or is it separate like GW2 as well?

You have to pick and choose, so you might have three skills from your weapon's skill tree and two of your class skills.

>If not can I just mostly skip weapon skills?

Not really. I mean, I do as a Templar mage, but that's because my class skills are generally the best healing skills in the game and I can get away with just using my class skills to DPS as well.

A Two-Handed character is always going to want to use Rally (Morph of Momentum)

A Duel Wielding character will always want to have some morph of whirlwind.

A Bow user will always want to have Poison Injection.

And a Staff user will ALWAY have a few skills from their staff's skill line. (Unless you're a templar healer with a class skill build.)

>>145403212
Yes tell us!

>>145403448
Is the weapon swap instant? So it effectively just gives you 10 slots?
Can you tell me about the Templar Mage build? I prefer playing healers but people made it sound like leveling and exploring was the major focus so I figured I should go DPS.

>>145403768
>Is the weapon swap instant?

Pretty much. It's something that ping can fuck up, though. if you're lagging, you're going to take longer to swap bars.

>So it effectively just gives you 10 slots?

Pretty much. You can even use the same weapons on both bars in order to use more of their weapon skills.

>Can you tell me about the Templar Mage build?

Here's what I use: http://eso-skills.com/skill?z=2DPs662L@DA07EGG%DHSu_Lf@1TGrM4C&a=640000&j=t&q=700&w=41&m=1

My legs and chest are enchanted to give me health. This allows me to pour all of my points into Magicka and just live off of my own healing.

>I prefer playing healers but people made it sound like leveling and exploring was the major focus so I figured I should go DPS.

You can level and explore while in the nude wielding a level appropriate wooden stick as long as you can dodge well enough.

Build how you want. Enjoy the game. When you start to run dungeons and take on world bosses, worry about being optimal.

>>145403768
Weapon swap is almost instant. There is a very short animation.
Templars are easy to level even healing focused ones. Templar's main melee dps skill is AOE, staggers and interrupts casters. Devastating against most mobs. They also have a great ranged knock down.

Man I'm autisming hard about what class to play. I know I can grab all the other skill types I want but class still seems pretty significant.

>>145407258

Don't bully me anon. My autism is bad enough already. That's based on how I decide to build. It doesn't seem significant.

>>145407631
It's extremely significant if you want to min/max.

bretons and High Elves make the absolute BEST pure mages in the game, but are complete ass with anything Stamina based.

Nords and Imperials make the best tanks, but are absolute ass at anything magicka based.

Dark Elves are a jack of both trades, but they get a bonus to all fire damage they put out, so they make the best dragonknight mages.

khajiit and bosmer make the best melee DPS (Rivaled only by orcs.) But suck with anything magicka.

>So how big is group play in this?

It's basiclly a single player game unless you're doing dungeons or PvPing.

>If it's standard WoW style endgame

It's not. Endgame is "Here's the whole game. Enjoy it. Do whatever the fuck you want. You have your end-game gear set and you're max level, so you don't have to grind anymore. Just enjoy the fucking game."

End game is just whatever you want to do. I run maybe one dungeon a week if I feel like it. It's just fun for me.

Most people just roam around and quest/explore just like in other TES games.

Pretty soon, this will happen: http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2016/06/12/matt-firors-message-from-be3

Which will make it even more like a normal TES game. You'll just be able to explore the whole world from level 1, and at max level you'll start getting max level rewards from everything.

So, basiclly, a max level character will be able to group up with a level 1 character and they'll be able to enjoy the same content. Not even faction will matter unless you're in the PvP zone because the whole world will be open to you.

Not optimal since the strength of your bow will be based on your stamina while your pets will be based on your magicka.

>>145437561
No. Anyone using a staff will typically just be magicka based and use magicka morphs and staff abilities.

Stamina classes will just morph whatever abilities have stamina morphs and then fill the rest with buffs as well as abilities under weapon skill trees like dual wield for example if that's what you're asking.

If I'm new and looking to get into ESO, what addons are recommended?

So fellas, I find myself having a bit of a problem. I just recently really started getting into this game.
Problem is I kind of neglected most of my crafting skills.

Before DB hit I was vr 5. Now I'm at the CP cap and would really like to get into pvp, but like I said my crafting skills are trash. I know they provide a lot of benefits so I want to know if there's a good way to powerlevel alchemy, enchanting, and provisioning.

In that case, nice, I never liked the idea of superlong grind for tiny bonuses that add up anyway.

>>145439283
Yep, there's nothing forcing anyone to play PvP with champion points enabled.

Is this game worth the $59.99?

I like how it features ALL of Tamriel.

>>145439214
Not that I know off, outside of just making a lot of potions and food of the highest and rarest kind you can possibly make. Not sure that potions with 3 ingredients give you more XP than with 2, however. Don't think so.

Enchantment is easiest powerleveled with a friend; make blue enchantments and trade them with each other, then extract each others enchantment (since deconstructing stuff you made yourself don't give a lot of inspiration).

>>145439214
Power leveling enchanting will be a pain in the ass, just leveling it normally takes a while, without a fellow enchanting friend to help you'll likely be deconning a lot of glyphs you find.

Power leveling Alchemy is incredibly easy, just buy a stack of two cheap alchemy reagents and solvent and you'll get it up to 50 in no time.

Provisioning is pretty much the same but you'll need a recipe and it'll take a bit longer to power level.

I can probably provide you mats for alchemy and provisioning after I finish up getting one of my characters to level 50 if you want.

Is there a monthly fee for this game?

I had a stockpile of runes large enough to make about 300-400 glyphs of various levels up to about lvl 50. All were white, (Ta). I went from about lvl 12 to lvl 32 in enchanting in a few minutes of crafting and deconning.

Is the game worth trying? been looking for an MMO and I've been hearing alot of the problems with TESO have been fixed. I've played pretty much every mmo around already

>>145444364
buy it and tell us your findings

>>145377598
When are they going to release or use the music they use in the trailers anyway? It's in the intro as well and it's great yet it's nowehere to be fund and it's never used in-game.

>>145445798
Do you mean the eso theme song?

>>145445902
Yea. The main theme is played at 4 places afaik, in the character selec screen, in "tides of the abecean sea" and during the intro when you make a new character. However in the trailers they always make pretty decent versions of it that they never use ingame. And it's bothering me because I really don't like the character select theme

Here they use it again, at the end.

I like it but you're just gonna get biased answers here.

Best place would probably be to read and see people's review of the console version, since those reviews are more up to date regarding content and bug fixes.

>>145446162
>>145444364
Don't mislead him. You'll get better answers here then googling as most of the reviews are outdated. What i would suggest is looking up gameplay videos of something that interest you.
I bought eso from sale few months back and i've been enjoying myself ever since. If you have disposable money then by all means buy it. It's only 20€/$ from the links provided in OP.

Hey im fairly new what are the best addons for making a minimalist UI? Also any others you would reccomend

>>145447174
I use addons so that the UI wouldn't be so minimal.

>>145447174
As someone who also likes minimal UI, I'm not sure what you could really want to do to it, it's minimal as fuck already.

>>145430135
>It's trash is PvP

I've seen some people start to the use the Clannfear more recently with some survival setups. Not for the damage really but for the pretty suck activated ability. If pets didn't die if you don't have the ability on both bars (like if there was a grace period between switching bars before it dies) and scaled with the higher of stam or magicka then they might see more use to be honest. Well the pathing would still be utter shit but still.

There's FTC that's fairly customizable. You can make the bars look as big or small as you want, show percentage or numbers, whatever you want. There's one floating around called "immerser UI" or something like that.

>>145449512
I think weapon damage/flame is better than 2 weapon damage, since 2x weapon damage don't stack.

Say they manage to implement spellcrafting before we all die of old age. There will probably be forced to do something for stamina characters or people will be royally pissed.

What would you call this stamina-based spell-crafting and how would you justify it? Make the Vestige a sword-singer able to form their Shehai? Have specialized weapons you wear and costumize but only use when you cast said ability, like the crossbow?

>>145450385
it's more for the 100% uptime than anything else, personally i think that outweighs the flame damage, even if on a dk.

>>145450405
I have no idea how they could even implement spellcrafting into a mmo without completely fucking with what ever semblance of balance we could ever have.

>>145450549
They balance spellcrafting the same way they balance enchants, weapon skills, guild skills and world skills which are also available to everyone?

>>145452253
Bit more complex than that, I mean you either give a gimp ass version so that nobody create OP spells or you give full control and the game RIP itself. I mean what would stop me from just turning every spell I want into a fucking 10 second stun AOE with 10k+ burst spamable damage and 2k a second DOT on the end.

>>145452675
I think it's obvious that it will be a gimp-ass version of some kind. Maybe like poisons where the more effects the weaker each effect will be?

From what we know the spells will have a basis that you then modify to your liking. So you won't be able to put everything and their mother on the same spell.

I actually like this even though I usually dislike scaling in games. The issue I have with MMO's these days is that higher level zones just tend to have the same shit in anyway but for some reason it's higher level. If you fight a Clannfear out in Glenumbra then for some reason the exact same looking Clannfear with the exact same abilities would have kicked your ass if your character had gone to Bankorai to fight it.

If MMOs actually put some effort into making levels mean something in the world they're set in (guards/bandits are always level X, minor Daedra are always level Y and major Daedra are always level Z) then I'd be okay with it. As it stands though they might as well just scale things. You'll eventually 'feel' more powerful anyway as you get more skills and eventually as you get better gear/more CP.

>>145456052
>You'll eventually 'feel' more powerful anyway as you get more skills and eventually as you get better gear/more CP.

Yea, the feeling of progression will deferentially be there even if you don't include gear and CP. I mean the difference between two people putting all their points into magicka, one being 50 and the other scaled from 5 to 50, is 6500 magicka due to the former being able to put out 59 more skillpoints into magicka.

Just did my first ever crafting writs run, is it guaranteed to get a legendaries off crafting writs because I just got one blacksmithing, woodworking, clothing and enchanting? Are their ones for cooking and alchemy?

>>145457010
There's one for all crafting, including cooking and alchemy. Cooking and alchemy should be on the same board you found enchantment. And there's no guarantee.

>>145457253
Sorry I meant do cooking/alchemy writs offer legendaries as well?

>>145457320
Yea, provisioner writs are the only way to get the Psijic Ambrosia recipe. You get the recipe in fragments, so you have to collect em all to create the recipe.

There were people who had bounties in the millions at one point I think. I remember hearing something about there being places that you could grind way back when it was a pain in the ass to get to VR14 which basically involved you killing innocents. I think they'd basically insta respawn when they died so you could just spam AoE's.

Provisioner writs can also give purple ingredients which you need to craft Psijic Ambrosia.

Also, it'll take many months of writs to get the Psijic Ambrosia recipe so it's better to just buy the recipe or fragments and sell the fragments you get. You can get your money back with a couple hours of fishing.

>>145459625
You switch between normal and veteran mode in the group window.

>>145459559
You don't need to pay it all at once.

I've been doing this while doing my daily thieving. I always kill the NPCs to speed up going through the containers anyway. So I get progress in both the bounty achievement and the 1M fence sells achievement.

What skill lines are DLC only?

>>145471530
Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood. If you lose access to the DLC you will still keep all the skills you have points in but you won't be able to put any more in so respeccing will cause to you lose access completely to the skill lines.

Do poison effects stack? Like if I take every bow poison morph and DK poison morphs they'll all work?

>>145472037
Different DOTs can be applied at the same time, the damage type doesn't matter. This includes different morphs of the same skill.

Is there a cosmetic armor option? I like how Argonians look and their racials but their champion set, which I assume is their endgame set, looks fucking stupid.

>>145473446
>champion set

Their what? Are you talking about the costume you get for making it to C160?

No race has a specific "Endgame" set. While exploring, you can find books that allow you to craft in diffrent styles. So, I as a Nord would need to find the Altmer book to make High Elf looking gear.

Your "Endgame" gear will be whatever you craft/pay a crafter to craft.

>>145350265
>At least it will be easier to find ERP soon
How so?

>>145473653
http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2016/06/12/matt-firors-message-from-be3

No more faction segregation. You can interact with everyone in the game no matter what your faction is. Also, all zones will use the DLC zone scaling system. (So a C160 will still have reason to explore a level 1 area.)

>>145473645
Oh okay, thanks. I meant in character creation you have starting gear, no gear, and champion gear preview options. Watching some videos to decide on class I saw almost all of them wearing their class's champion preview option set, so I assumed it was their endgame set.

One more question, would Dunmer's Flame Talent passive (increased flame damage by 7%) be at all helpful for a bow DK or healer DK? Like do their shields count as flame effects or the poison morphs on their flame spells still count as flame effects?

>>145473754
Neat.

>>145473851
Dunmer make the absolute best Dragonknights no matter what, but their passive only effects fire damage. So, it doesn't boost things like the shields or dragonblood.

>>145473851
The reason you see most people running around in their races gear is because that's normally like their 12th character and they just don't care anymore.

Stick to one character and you'll have a bunch of diffrent looks. I keep a "Holy Knight" set that's breton styled and dyed silver/gold for when I'm tanking and a "Shadow Mage" for when I feel like spell slinging.

does anyone know when the dark brotherhood dlc goes live for ps4 i thought it was going to be here already but maybe later today like when it came out on pc

>>145479450
DC and EP have equally many dungeons that's Dwemer in origin. However EP have a couple of siblings you keep bump into that's essential a girly Indiana Jones and her dorky brother who you keep bumping into when investigating Dwemer ruins.

Vampirism and werewolves are individual skill trees.
Werewolves replace their ultimate with a shapeshifted form. The only way to increase werewolf EXP is to kill things in werewolf form.
Vampirism is tied to your overall EXP. It levels as you level. You gain significant bonuses but you are penalized if you don't feed enough. Fire is bad and you are gasoline-coated kindling at stage 4 vampirism.

Fire destroys vampires.
The Warrior's guild skill tree absolutely obliterates werewolves.

Now, as for class/race combos; I suggest just playing what you want. People tend to roll Dragonknight for tanking, as its pretty damned suited for that task.
You can heal as anyone, but most people roll Templars as dedicated healers.
Nightblades are your typical assassin with the only true invisibility spell in the game.
Sorcerers are basically Conjuration/Destruction mages.

Races each have their own bonuses and skill trees. Read up on them here: http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Races_(Online)
Honestly all the skill trees are pretty garbage for each race outside of Imperial, due to just how tanky they get at full tree.
