Why do /v/ and ES "fans" shit on this game so much?
In early game and loving it more than the past mmos I've tried recently. It doesn't feel generic and paper-thin.

>>148376084
because release eso wasn't that great
but everyone just wants to hop onto the nerd rage train and agree with angry joe's 2-year old, inexperienced opinion

>>148376084

I can never keep invested in an MMO. Everything has just seemed so... similar to the last. I enjoyed RO years back, but I didn't want to go back to that again.
Black desert, Wildstar, tree of savior; they all seem to be living on the fumes and tropes of past games.
We need more of what TESO is doing, more innovation, more original ideas, more great PVP. It's a shame it gets such a bad rap.

>>148376084
Originally it lacked a lot of what people expected. A lot of people felt it was more like an mmorpg with an Elder Scrolls skin on top of it. The changes they've made makes it feel more and more like an Elder Scrolls game with mmorpg aspects attached to it.

During the early alpha there was no 1st person view and you couldn't enter water. During the release you couldn't steal things while sword, staffs and other things you found around in the open world couldn't be picked up. No content in the game was scaled. Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood was nowhere to be found.

It have came a long way since release. And with One Tamriel they'll be making it into what it desu should have been at release. I'm glad it will be released and I'm glad that TG and DK have been released, not because I enjoyed the content (something I did) but because the shit people expect out of an Elder Scrolls game are finally done and they can focus on improving aspects not in light of being an Elder Scrolls game but being an mmorpg.

I hope they release western Skyrim and the Colovian Highlands next year. That would mean that you can walk from Daggerfall to Shadowfen to Grathwood.

>>148376158
It really wasn't that bad at launch. It got a lot of unjustified bad press for things that are actually really good like the lore, the targeting system and the combat in general.
It attracted a lot of Skyrim adventurers and they had problems because the pve combat was a lot more difficult than in the single player games. ZOS has since nerfed the quest bossfights, cleaned up some of the grinder quests and made exploring in general a bit less grindy. Overall a significant positive, but I do miss the bossfights now that I'm a little more adept as a player.

>>148378838
The first time I did that quest, I knew immediately where the treasure was, because I remembered seeing that "stone ship" before, when I was exploring and even thinking to myself "this kind of looks like a ship". Went there, and couldn't do shit, because the game still made me jump through all the hoops before making me go back there again anyway. Bullshit.

How do I keep LUI's frames from popping in when I'm using stamina out of combat (like sprinting)? The 0% opacity for out of combat only works when my stats are 100%.

Damagedealers not taking out adds and people not avoiding the fireballs will have you work extra hard as a healer, meaning you very well could end up having not enough mana to survive the gassing (assuming you go for gold) because you're babysitting Delta Force Brainless. Or even better, the rest of the group running around in fucking circles around the boss not understanding you have to be within a certain range to heal them.

There's absolutely no reason for the rest of the group to not stay glued to the healer's buttcheeks during the fight with Engine Guardian.

Leveling as a Stam DK but what do folks find the most comfy for solo leveling? 2handers/DW? Do people use offhands when leveling and what's a good fit?

Couldn't agree more, the justification for why the orcs killed and took over the island was "it's a good island and we can take it". Muh honorary code my ass.

>>148389543
I usually go to Wrothgar and hunt ogres. Pretty comfy. Doesn't matter which weapon you use, unless you're leveling weapon skills.

>>148390287
You don't need to worry about having a tuned build until end-game. Just mess around with whatever sounds fun as you're leveling. Respeccing is cheap and easy, and there are a ton of skill points available throughout the game (over 300 total I think). If it really matters to you, I think most stam DK DPS in PvE are usually dw/bow.

>>148390832

Maybe they're outdated but the guide shit I've been looking at is showing 2h/staff, is that more of an end game thing? I assume folks just grind xp at end game to get all their skills to max for easy swapping.

What area is lacking when it comes to Player to player service? Things like blacksmithing, although everyone and their grandmother train that.

>>148393032
Not much outside of crafting experience potions and having all 9 traits researched.

>>148392301
still very low but justifiable
the engine moves far too much for ground dots to be useful and you gotta split your focus onto adds. my 32k+ dps turns into 20k on the engine.

Well now. This is a tough choice. Amazing how much better Daggerfall Covenant quests are compared to the others, at least early game.

>>148393032
>>148394276
Other than crafted set items no service is "rare", you can get all crafting skills to 50 in like under 4 hours. Nobody sell or really ask randoms to craft items especially 9 trait items because anyone worth that salt wanting something like that will already be in a guild that has a maxed out crafter who does that shit for free, also xp pots give you like 200g a pot on EU PC. If you're looking to make money through players go farm raw mats, refine them and hope rng give you tempers to sell.

EP and Daggerfall Cov are pretty high in terms of quest feel. AD had some pretty forests at least.

>>148398074
AD feels good if you want to learn about the races living in it, unfortunately, the way it's presented makes everyone look incredibly stupid and like the Dominion's individual races have managed to beat out the noble houses of Morrowind in backstabbing and intrigue.

Really, if it weren't for the fact that Altmer, Bosmer, and Khajiit were too small to take on the rest of Tamriel on their own (or even some of the bigger provinces), I'd say they should just go their separate ways or join up with some other alliance.

Cheeky cunts.

>>148398660
Its honestly why I don't understand why the Khajiit are a part of AD.

>>148400469
Same reason they're part of the Aldmeri Dominion in Skyrim, sort of. The Dominion was there in a time of need. The flue during ESO and the vanishing of the moons during Oblivion.

>>148400469
>>148401040
I assume in Skyrim, it's also a matter of the Khajiit likely being aware the Altmer had tricked them but by this point, the Altmer have sunk their fangs bone deep into Elsweyr and probably have an "instant xenocide" curse over the whole race or some bullshit.

>>148400469
Besides the Knahaten flu events, they are also geographically closest to them, sharing a border with Valenwood. If they don't side with someone in the alliance war they are likely to be ganged up on by all three, and the next closest alliance is probably doubling down on the enslavement of their people after losing their primary source of slave labour.

>>148401879
In several areas you can encounter Breton and Khajiit slaves. And in the Stormheaven I think there's a series of quests about dunmer slavers.

>>148401879
As much as I love the khajiit, I can't help but think "boo fucking hoo. Just pack up your people can move into DC lands. Divines know orcs sure as hell didn't have much of a country until Orsinium was refounded."

Besides, khajiit are supposed to be nomadic and willing to travel.

>>148397809
fucking pagans

>>148402192
The Anequinian tribes are said to be the more nomadic ones, the prime example being Khajiiti caravans.

Khajiit still care for their home land, before and after the alliance war they fight with Bosmer and Nibenese over it, so if they have to choose some side they might as well choose the one that doesn't mean their entire race has to move across Tamriel.

>>148401879
>it's impossible to make a Kahjiit looking this cool
Such a shame. Cat people are usually pretty awesome.

What's the deal with all of these damn DK fire abilities turning into poison damage if I take the stamina morph? Kind of feeling like my dunmer passives aren't being used to their potential here.

>>148403947
Don't worry about it too much anon. Generally only magicka based shit deals elemental damage, physical stuff (and thus, Stamina stuff) tends to deal either Physical, Disease or Poison.

If it helps I think the fire breath stays fire when stam morphed though. But you racial bonuses to fire damage aren't super important desu. You'll deal fine damage regardless, especially since DK gets a passive that buffs both fire and poison DoTs.

>>148403641
It's a damn shame. You can make some nice Khajiit, but nothing like that tiger thief. I reckon it's because of the way we only get one face to modify, so you can't really get anything as sharp and distinct as that.

Also that picture has some great reaction image material.

Quick question to you lore nuts, is this description faithful to the fluff? I need some background info for my Redguard RP. He got the burn marks from using a lightning spell that got out of control when he defended his home town located on the isle of Herne from raiders (or whatever equivalent there could be in Hammerfell). Despite that he still worships Tava, which he believes trusted him with the power of air to wander Tamriel and aid people just like back home.

Is this shit too specific? The last time I roleplayed was in TSW which is vastly different of course.

>>148408513
They're more like really dope Persians than niggers. Persians were rad as fuck and not negroid for the most part.

They morph to poison because poison/disease/physical damage is boosted by one line in the champ point system and magic/fire/frost/shock is boosted by another line. Also phys resist affects the former and spell resist affects the latter.

Dunmers make the best magicka DKs, but they aren't the greatest stam race because they only have their stam passive to help them out.

>>148410407
Ah never got to the champion point system yet. Do most dunmer DKs go staff/magicka then?

>>148408920
What's it like in TSW? Your character history seems fine.

>>148410150

I'd say the Altmer/Thalmor are more like Imperial Japanese than anything, annexing Valenwood and Elsweyr thinking the Bosmer and Khajiit are inferior and need to be reeducated with the culture of the Altmer, like the Japanese thought they were uplifting the Chinese and Koreans.

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Dark Brotherhood, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids in both DC, AD and Telvanni territory, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in H.I.S.T warfare and I’m the top stealth archer in the entire ebonheart pact armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on Mundus, mark my fucking words as I raise the spine of Fuck You. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me trough messages for my eyes only? Think again, you thin-shelled fool. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Shadowscales across Black Marshes and your anuic being is being traced right now so you better prepare for the Sithis, earth-worm. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, crabfucker. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare claws. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed underwater combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Dark Brotherhood and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of Tamriel, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue and keep moist. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, dryskin.

Ancient chinese literally thought they were above all other humans on the planet.

>>148410541

Yes, although, magicka DK isn't a really good choice for DPS anymore. It can be decent for tanking though, since a lot of your survival skills have no stam morphs and self heals are usually also magicka.

>>148410686

Argonians are literally "we wuz kangs", building pyramids (at least claiming to) in the distant past while in the present they live in Mud huts and having made anything worthwhile culturally. They make great slaves that's about it.

Orcs are even slightly better as we know for sure at one time they had some sort of Empire, and they can still craft good shit.

Orcs are like east Africans, having some sort of cultural history but they still chimp out and act like animals instead of people, and Argonians are like West Africans, who haven't accomplished shit in all of human history and their best use is as slaves.

>>148410870

so did Feudal and Imperial Japanese.

basically the Dynastic Chinese thought they were on a plane between heaven and earth, and in that same sense Japanese thought they were Heaven.

saddest part is: they could have justified it easily by just saying Tiber Septim's CHI(L)M-mate change altered both present and past.

Doesn't seem too out there for CHIM.

>>148421485
I still don't understand how CHIM's supposed to work. You achieve it by feeling an all encompassing love for everything, but both Vivex and Talos did some pretty awful and hypocritical things in lore even after they achieved CHIM. What gives?

>>148421485
There's another book in the game where the author theorizes that White Gold Tower had a hand in the "Cyrodiil was a jungle maybe?" thing, that it adapted the land around it to better suit it's masters. When the Ayleids ruled this meant a lush jungle - and when Man took control, the jungle slowly receeded, gradually changing to a temperate forest.

>>148411354
The trouble with Argonians is that they have not had much in way of lore to really flesh them out.
Okay, they got super evolved by licking trees which may or may not have an emergency hive-mind switch for them but that's about it because pretty much nobody else can survive in Black Marsh without chugging potions all day to hold back all the diseases and such so there's never been a good lore reason for a truely in-depth look at their society. Couple that with the most prominent appearances being Morrowind and Oblivion where they are an oppressed ex-slave class and generally well assimilated respectively we never really get a good look at what Argonian culture or society is in either of those.

Aside from that we have The Argonian Account (and the presentation of that suggests it might be a fiction) which pretty much only tells us they tend to build huts rather than houses because everything keeps sinking back into the swamps before long and solid ground is too rare to waste for building on.
Oh and they have a public transport system that puts Morrowind's Silt Striders to shame in most regards

I've always wanted to make a heavily armored 2h orc sorcerer as some kind of spellzerker thing, but how I would distribute hp/stam/mag points? This is assuming it would be a viable build, though they won't be a main or anything and would probabaly just get levelled enough to be useful/self-sufficient in crafting stuff but I'm not sure yet

>>148422426
I should probabaly clarify my original idea was mainly a tank-ish character with summons as support but theres some other skills like Streak that could be useful for a melee build so I wasn't sure if I should just dump all points into magic since orcs and heavy armor get bonuses to health and stamina

To summarize it as I understand: CHIM is lucid dreaming.

Everything in TES is basically the dream of a god (lorkhan I think?) and by realizing nothing is real, one of two things happen.

You either realize you don't exist resulting in a zero sum and you vanish in a poof of logic.

Or you realize "wait, this is a dream? I can do anything in a dream if I think it!" and then suddenly Vivec's dick is capable of defeating dragon shouts.

No, not Lorkhan. The Godhead. It has no name beyond that. Lorkhan is smalltime next to the Godhead. Everything kind of is.

Yes, more or less.

wew lad

I'm not a deep lorefag, but I really like that Elder Scrolls has a Deus ex Machina as a part of the plot, without laying on it too much. At least in-game.

>>148422901
But if that's true why don't they crown themselves kings of the world? Oh wait...

Ok, then if Vivec had CHIM, why couldn't he beat Dagoth Ur?

Is Dragonknight fun? I've only played sorcerer for a few levels so far and I'm not really feeling it.

>>148424931
It's pretty fun.

My current DK is a tank build with a greatsword... And a greatsword.

His key slots are dedicated to one bar of sword skills plus dark talons and another bar dedicated entirely to DK skills, mostly geared towards survival. With outdated and broken gear he's nearly duo'd a dungeon boss at level 18 or so.

Also, Dragon leap is god-tier. If you didn't think the Dovahkin was dragony enough and thought Dragon Aspect shout was disappointing, Dragon Knight is meant to make up for it.

>>148424931
DK uses what's believed to be an Akavari fusion of thu'um and destruction magic. It's pretty nice.

>>148424931
They're less mobile than sorcerers but they deal more damage.

I need to max out my sorc to truly get a feel for him, early levels are pretty bleh.

Gina responding to reduced movement speed:

>Hi everyone, thanks for your patience in this thread. To give you an update, this is still an issue (as you're well aware) and something we would still like to fix, but currently isn't a high priority due to other bugs the team is working on. We understand this isn't ideal, but keep in mind this is a global issue so everyone has the same movement speed reduction - and for what it's worth, the reduction is very slight compared to what it used to be. Not trying to sweep the issue under the rug, but just tossing out some food for thought.

Why must I keep being disappointed time and time again by ZOS.

>Why must I keep being disappointed time and time again by ZOS.
because you're a consumer and it's your duty to be disappointed when things aren't perfect

>>148428828
What's this about movement speed? Is that the fucking annoying thing when mounted sprinting and you ride up a tiny bump and your mount speed resets to almost zero?

>>148429217
That's part of it. They fucked up the movement speed with thieves guild dlc. If you played before you should also remember the way jumping used to be. Now you barely move and if you're sprinting and jump you lose all momentum.

Remind you this shit has been going on since thieves guild with absolutely no fix.

>>148428828
>but currently isn't a high priority due to other bugs the team is working on

desu if they're actually working on fixing more significant bugs, I'm ok with this

>>148429512
I personally am not. They let bugs linger in the game for so fucking long the only way to get their attention and fix it is to do shit like fuck over people and use cheat engine or exploit the banker with crafting writ surveys for gold

>>148429853
>exploit the banker with crafting writ surveys for gold
Where can I find the latest exploits like this? I mean there seem to be a dupe glitch every update, I heard there was a temper one and all they did was give a 2 day ban and let them keep all the tempers, I mean fuck that totally worth it for what could pretty much be lifetime amount of money.

>>148430093
>I mean fuck that totally worth it

I don't think it's worth having your account flagged as exploiter forever

>>148430206
It's not like anyone else knows you exploited, just don't exploit again, hell you'll never need to exploit again if they let you keep it 20,000 temp alloys.

>>148430093
I did a duping exploit for infinite money in SWTOR, and got a 3 day ban + removal of credits which I had spent nearly all of, but they didn't remove any of the shit I bought with these credits, or even removed any of the literally thousands of duped expensive items I stashed in my bank. So obviously I kept playing and abused the next exploit that came around, and because of >>148430206 I got permabanned. Something to consider.

>>148430424
>It's not like anyone else knows you exploited
I don't know how ZOS handles this shit, but there definitely is some kind of way to know, because of what happened to me here >>148430460

I didn't tell a single person what I did, and still got banned.

And I'm having trouble imagining that ZOS is less competent that SWTOR devs.

They checked your writ/inventory ratio. They had data to see how many raw mats you got from a single writ, and if you had over 200 (which is impossible normally) you were marked.

>>148431414

>>148430460
>>148430562
The only reason I can see if you cared if your account was flagged for exploit is either players/guilds can see it and/or you going to do exploits again, the second part is on you for want to be a stupid sack of shit. Of course they going to permaban you if you do another exploit, that would super fucking retard if they didn't and of course they can find out if you've done it, all they have to do is just go over the data.

What am saying is this would like the IRL equivalent of jacking up Fort Knox, getting to keep all the gold and get a 2 year prison sentence and them saying if you ever do another crime again you are going back for life, seem like a fair fucking deal if you're so stupid to then go and do another crime when you got like 2 fucking billion in solid gold then that you're a fucking dumbass.

This fucking MMO gold we are talking about that shit is currency, some of these exploits you do it right across multi accounts and they don't take any of the items, you could make a real life year's wage in a matter of a week if you went and real world traded that shit.

>>148432029
Unless they actually don't let you keep your shit.

Semi new player here with some general questions

When you hit 50 where is the first place you should go?

Are champion points like prestige levels?

Is there any way at all to inspect people?

Does reporting someone actually do anything?

>>148434251
>When you hit 50 where is the first place you should go?
Nowhere, if you haven't finished main story yet, Cadwell's Silver if you have

>Are champion points like prestige levels?
that depends on what is a prestige level

>Is there any way at all to inspect people?
no

>Does reporting someone actually do anything?
makes you feel like you've showed them!

>>148434251
When you hit 50 you'll probably have just finished your alliance's questline and the main quest, and then you can move onto the next alliance.

Hmmm not so much like prestige. They work the same way that normal levels work, but you get a champion point when you level up rather than a skill point. It'll all be explained when you get there.

>>148434251
>When you hit 50 where is the first place you should go?
Do cadwells silver/gold (other alliance zones, do DLCs, grind or do dungeons. Doesn't really matter.

>Are champion points like prestige levels?
Not sure what you mean, they are basically extra levels after 50 which only give you CP to put into constellations. Also they incerase fast af in the beginning, like 5 per random daily dungeon.

>Is there any way at all to inspect people?
No. You can ask them to link their shit but that's about it.

>Does reporting someone actually do anything?
Reported one guy so far and haven't seen him again. Might be a coincidence but idk.

>>148434563
>>148434512
>>148434498

Thanks for the answers, I wasn't sure what to expect when I hit 50, I am only 37 at the moment and I was told I unlock some pretty cool stuff at 45, something about pledges which I know nothing about but I hear they're neat

I also ask about the reporting thing because someone in my group decided to randomly pull everything while spamming "HANG NIGGERS!" over and over again, resulting in the group just disbanding and everyone getting a debuff, vote to kick didn't work at all.

Look at it this way: How would they explain something from their past that was an artifact left behind when their present was changed by an event that took place in their future?
They would have no knowledge of Tiber Septim so they could not attribute it to anything he did. They could only conclude that the book was in error.

Straight off the bat a compendium of old conflicting sources, artifacts, paintings, books, and poems from pre-warpy-shouty-remaking-of-land that comes into conflict with what the people living there see and know. Cause the shout to have a certain quantum backlash, rippling back through time, leaving these artifacts in tact, but only a vague sense of "Yeah, I think I do remember that, but there's no sign of it so it couldn't have been" in the minds of the people. Attribute it perhaps to a Daedric influence, say Boethiah, Vaermina or Sheogorath, an unknown sense of wrongness that the people have simply learned to live with like a subtle cultural mass-hysteria. Everyone is aware of it and everyone accepts that everyone senses it when exposed to any of the relics.

Honestly in such a fantastical setting it shouldn't ever come down to such a mundane asspull.

>>148429476
Worst part is that it makes White Gold Tower even more of a bitch to clear due to the reduced movement speed since movement is the key component when fighting the last 2 bosses.

Everyone is going to have their own way of dealing with the unknown sense of wrongness. We're talking about one particular scholar here, not ESOs canon version of the events. Other in-game texts have other explanations.
ESOs canon is that there's a debate among scholars going on about it as one would expect.

Got my first gold key today. I play in the big boys sandpit now.

Hey @clv, can you share with me your Maelstrom bars?

Thanks,

From,

The other guy in the guild with 501 cp.

So I tried all 3 of the good stam dps classes on pts. All of them seem ridiculous in their own ways. Though some had more class flavor than others.

Stam dk, shit dies to dots before anything even happens, not even joking. Pretty cool with poison talon, flames of oblivion, and burning breath.

Stam sorc, fast. Only real flavor I felt like was hurricane, and a free ulti slot for whatever you like on bow bar.

Stamblade seemed cool, relentless focus, reapers mark, and siphoning attacks were all really nice. But it felt like the more annoying of the 3 to play when you're just killing random shit in the world.

Overall: DK=NB>sorc. The only thing that distinguishes these 3 classes in pve, is their own class abilities, because of the current meta stam dps setup with dw/bow and all the amazing abilities for them.

>Alliance motifs now available in Crown Store

>>148443098
Fuck you, now I want to make a stamDK instead of a stamsorc.

>>148444952
If you are one of them people that flip-flops and can't settle on a class then I don't get you, just make a god damn character play the fucking game, get it 501cp and then you can level any alt to 50 which means it will also be 501 when it hits, within 5 fucking hours. Instead of levelling a character to 30 deleting it and starting again, repeat x20.

>>148444952
Play what you want man, there isn't anything actually wrong with stamsorc, they are top 3 dps right now, just a very tiny amount behind stamblade and stamdk.

I was just ranking them based off their cool factor essentially. They all end up using rapid strikes, rending slashes, dawn breaker, poison injection, rearming trap, endless hail and caltrops. I was mostly interested in figuring out, aside from those weapon abilities, who had the most actually useful class ability flavor.

>>148427320
oh no it was nothing like that but it was that
Dagoth was using reverse CHIM, he died after the three killed Nevervar and then him but 'awoke' as a spirit in the afterlife somehow able to view the current dream
he then said to himself "oh wow, maybe this is my dream and everyone is actually a part of it" and so he made an avatar of himself that was basically an untouchable force of destruction, Vehk basically had a royal flush but Ur had Yatzee and each time Vivec tried to meet the game Dagoth Ur was playing he already was on a different one.

then you as the Nerevarine came and Ur's whole fantasy of it being his dream was coming to a close and he only had his "Old and true friend" finish him off. He, after all, was waiting for his best friend Indoril Nerevar to come back to destroy the heart after all.

its a sad touching story really.
everyone else says he is mad but even in a death so profound 3 demigods inflicted it on him he still came back to wait for his only friend because of a promise, to wait there with the tools so he could destroy the heart after talking to his god Azura.
there the Tribunal used poisened cloaks and candles and evil invocations to weaken him and kill Nerevar but at the same time his belief in Azura was so strong even if it wasnt the right ritual it summoned her (even if there was a slight delay)
they cut off his feet so he could come from any walk of life and cut off his face so he could be anyone in the afterlife so she wouldnt find out but lets face it, she was right there when they did it.
so she did her whole cursing thing & Nerevarine prophacy then TES:3 happens.

The Oblivion Crisis: afterwords Vivec, using CHIM, fucked off into a different Kalpa(Michael Kirkbride's C0DA) but at the same time fought off a horde of daedra to protect his people & also got captured by an unknown daedra horde(some speculate its either Molang Bal, Azura, or Dagon) then after that Azura's real final revenge part happens & Red Mountain erupts

That heal sucks anyway. Do you have Vigor from Assault line? If you're 2h there's Rally.

I haven't touched PvP yet so I had no idea the Alliance war skill trees have heals in them. Rally's also a heal but it's a HoT and I generally feel more comfortable with a 30% burst heal since I'm generally only healing when I've fucked up.

StamSorc is so fucking fun holy shit. I'm running around at the speed of light fucking shit up. Who needs shitty selfheals if you never get hit.

>>148445821
So does reverse CHIM give you power or something? Seems to me if you learn something wrong (especially CHIM) you just won't get anything from it. Did Dagoth Ur learn it in such a spectacularly wrong way he got some power after all? Is this something anyone can achieve (believing you are dreaming everything = power)?

Also how strong were the Three? Sure, they beat Dagon, but weren't they beaten in the end by Azura (via prophecy), and why did Vivec surrender Numidium to Tiber when he had everything at that point (Heart, CHIM, golem)?

>>148448393
Not him but Dagoth had some unique circumstances. Namely, he was fucking with the Heart of Lorkhan when he got killed, which is not only the Stone of the Red Mountain Tower, but the heart of a "dead" trickster god. Shit gets kinda wonky when you have that much weird involved.

>>148448785
That explains a lot, thanks.

And the Neveraine beat Dagoth by destroying the heart enchantments and severing his connection, something the Tribunal couldn't do because their power came from the Heart/CHIM which Dagoth could counter.

So CHIM... How powerful does it really make you? Didn't Tiber Septim and Vivec have to deal with regular problems anyway in history without CHIMing them away after they achieved it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfOyk9XXnQc
Speaking of Dagoth Ur and 6th house, do you guys think we'll see some 6th house hints/agents in Vvardenfell DLC? I kinda hope we won't. But I hope Vvardenfell has a shit ton of fan service, Divayth Fyr and silt striders etc.

>>148450682
I'm hoping for it to be full of references and fan service. Seeing silt striders would be great, I love ESOs creature designs so it'd be cool to see how they do them.

>>148448152
This, I don't feel like >>148443098 does, stam sorc has a lot of flavour, pulling together a bunch of mobs with bow slamming down endless hail and cc them in place as you turn around crit rush one of them, blink through them and crit rush back like nothing personal kid before finish them all off by spamming reverse slice or dawnbreaker.

I suppose I'll do it eventually, assuming migcka-sorc doesn't get buffed in the meantime. But man, I liked throwing around lightning so much but it pains me to know how shit it really is compared to the alternative.

He's a khajiit too, so I have no reason to NOT respec to stam sorc.

>>148448393
well the first part got explained by >>148448785 so yeah

but the Tribunal basically could do anything they wanted as long as they could recharge or cared enough to do it
Sotha Sil made a god baby called Memory apparently and was still a god at the time Almalexia murdered him to try and squeeze some god power out of him

Almalexia made Mournhold a flying super city, had a fist fight with Dagon and WON so hard she litterally punched him back into Oblivion, and never became a pale dunmer, she remained a golden skinned chinmer.

Vivec just kinda....did what the sermens say he did. yeah that all actually happened. he topped Molang Bal(and Bal liked it), he stopped a meteor in mid air(unfortunately it has all the kinetic force of being hurled from Oblivion even if its frozen in the air), and then with the last bit of his power made the ghostfence. He then starts using the Love(the main powersorce of CHIM) of his people to keep the rock in the air

BUT, using CHIM, Vehk jumped into a completely different dream while also making two perfect copies of himself so all the stories involving what happened to him during the Oblivion Crisis are true while he is chilling with his husband(Vivec is a hermaphodite) in the mysterious 5th Era in a new dream on one of the Moons(which are full of dark elves and a metric ton of khajiit)

>>148454510
Mag anything really is just shit since they tuned stamina. Magplar are annoying fucks, but not exactly good, magdks just blow in every aspect, and magsorcs are probably the worst out of all of them. Mag builds are completely fucking abysmal unless you're healing.

Magblades do ok though. Not anything amazing, but nowhere near as bad as the others.

>>148454870
here is a link to the story in question
the guy who pretty much made Vivec and almost all of Morrowind's lore made it as a sort of alternate story kinda deal that takes place in a dream where Nuimidium came back in an event called Landfall

If you're going to farm VMA for stam weapons end game, then redguard will make your life A LOT easier, because you'll be solo, fighting swarms of mobs.

Khajiit can do it, just requires a bit more caution.

But khajiit theoretically do the most dps out of any good stam race.

Can't you deposit crafting materials in the bank?

>>148454810
>I gotta assume that'll change at some point right?
not so long ago it was the stam sorc that was bottom of the barrel, and now look at it. so yeah, it can change at some point, but I wouldn't wait

>>148456642
Guess I'll just respec to magDK whenever I'm feeling the mood since I assume dunmer is a solid pick for that. How shit are we talking here? I assume I won't notice a difference for 80% of the content?

Should I bother with a Destro staff as a Breton Magplar considering the racial passivez? Or should I just save that for my Altmer? I mainly use Templar abilities anyways but that would change if I knew I could get a good DPS out of the staff.

Hoping someone with experience using both races can help me out.

>tfw no sex appeal slider

PvP-wise

Are Souls Gems consumed on use or do they just become empty?

Outfit dying is fun, though some dye channels are dumb (neither the Morag Tong suit or the Ordinator suits let you dye the under armor, WHY). Bbeing able to buy the new hairstyles and a bundle of the standard ones and swap freely through them at will is fucking awesome AND you can do the same with the new tattoos/markings.

The only thing off I've noticed is uh, whatever is going on with this cat's eyes. Khajiit and personalities do not mesh well for some reason

>>148467191
You can have a bow (which are fairly stronk atm), and medium armor which features maaany hoods, and is also the kind of armor you want if you're DPS and thus, what to wear as a bow-user.

>>148467638
It's not needed, though without it you either won't be able to go to DLC zones/do DLC quests, or have to buy the DLC seperately (ESO+ members can access any and all DLC zones/quests "freely").

ESO+ Is one of the examples of an optional sub done right, though. You don't need it, but it has some nice features - you get crowns each month equal to the sub (1500), a minor XP buff (you level easily enough already t b h, but it's there), a craft bag that stores all your crafting mats (which is -amazing- for alchemy/provisioning) and though not implemented yet, when costume dying goes live ESO+ members are the only ones who get to dye costumes.

tl;dr, worth it, but you can live wityhout it. Crafting potions/food will probably be a bit of a hassle without the ease of infinite storage for craft mats like the craft bag supplies. Your bank might be mostly food/alchemical reagents.

Why is it every dungeon i've queued for so far the tank has never been a tank? Its like the mobs have known every tank I've encountered has been trash and have just ran past them and ran straight to bitch slap someone else.

Guys I need help here, cant do this alone.

I just did almost all the content of the game with my beloved Nord StamDK tank, and its time to move on.

Its time to get my first ALT, but i really cant decide if i want to go StamSorc, MagBlade or MagPlar.

I really want something that gives me some kind of “magic” playstyle, some kind of magicka warrior or something like that, so a melee weapon its a must.

I love the idea behind the bolt movement of the stamsorc, be flashing in the battleground killing people, but its stamina based so its not a magic carácter perse.

I like the feel of jump on enemys bursting the shit out of them and then run off before anyone can get me.

And i like the sustain and survivality of using holy magic power and burts damage that can be done melee or range.

I dont know guys, gimme a hand.

>>148467638
The DLCs are nice, IC being relatively essential for a full game experience, Orsinium also important, but the best part about the ESOplus sub is the crafting bag. Basically it pus every crafting mat you ever acquire, from the world, from deconstructing gear, from buying into a bottomless dedicated inventory, separate from your character inventory, and account wide, like the bank, but in the inventory menu.

Early on it might not seem like a big deal, but you'd be surprised the amount of crafting mats you pick up at a low level, how much longer you can go without having to go back to town to sell your shit, and how much less frequently you'll have to clear your inventory of worthless 0 gold style materials and provisioning ingredients, stuff that you may not need, but, if you keep playing, you'll definitely miss a few months down the line.

If you want a melee magicka character, you're probably gonna wanna be a 1h/s tank-ish build.

DK, NB and Temp can all do this VERY well (Sorc is a little shit because all their stuff is ranged anyway and they have hardened ward, so there is no point).

Almost all of DK's shit is melee whether mag or stam, so you're already there, NB has concealed weapon, which is alright I guess, the sneak bonus is nice but the damage is meh, but they have drain power which is melee-ish and absolutely brilliant, and Temp obviously focuses on Puncturing Sweep, Javelin and Charge (not sure if still broken).

Temp is probably your best bet, 1h/s mag temps are tanky to the point of ridiculousness, while sweeps and the burning light passive ensure you'll still do a shitload of damage while being unkillable.

If you're specifically looking at PvP, currently mag temps with cleansing ritual, sweeps and the Malubeth set (which is OP to the point where people still claim it's broken, and dueling guilds will hate you for) are the epitome of cancerous never-ending fights. They are utterly immune to DOTs and take like 6+ people to kill if they know what they're doing and are properly geared.

I'm curious, what did you buy?

3 month subscription, two $40 crowns packs
an imperial edition upgrade, sanguines black goat, a wolfhound, a dragontail goat, a bravil retriever, a pig, the armored knights pack, the nedic armor pack, silvenari felt bycoket and a camel

i have 0 self control

why the fuck do higher level characters have worse attributes than low level ones?
example:
my CP 50 sorcerer has 28k magicka and 21 health with food. I'm wearing a gear set but it doesn't add magicka and is a bit outleveled. I got magicka enchants though and set gives some health. I also have loads of passives.

Now, my level 12 templar. 32k magicka, 27k health with the same food. Shit outdated gear, no passives. Literally what?

>ANY race can perform ANY role to the fullest. The ONLY time racials matter is very early, and that stage passes by in like an hour. So yeah, do whatever looks best.

Is this true?

>>148488774

Folks say this shit but then tell everyone to roll niggers or cats. I don't get it.

>>148488774
No, racials have little effect on early PvE performance. The only people who care about them are the high end PvP folks who want to manage every minute stat their char has.

>>148488774
Orc and Redguard racials are a borderline game changer, don't listen to shitters.

>>148456198
if you wanna speedrun, khajiit is your cat

>>148488774
No, they can perform to 85% of any role, vet trials ain't going to happen mostly because any guild that does vet trials seriously, ain't going to take you if you ain't min/maxed and if you are doing high level PvP then you'll probably want that 10% extra stam as you're going to notice it in good fights.

I mean 10% of 30k stam is 3k stam that the equivalent of getting your maxed out legendary uber armour set at endgame and then going "you know what I don't want any fucking enchants on 3/7 of these pieces because I'm a fuckwit RP who doesn't do anything but sit in Cloudy Dregs all day, so really I don't need any of this shit".

>>148491143
>Can I combine unusual type of classes like archer+sorcerer?

Greatsword+Bow Sorcerer and Dual Wield+Bow Sorcerer are the current meta actually and fun as fuck to play. Go Redguard if you want to play it safe or Orc if you want to be sanic speed.

>>148473990
That hurt to read.

>>148487318
this was scary :(
also saving for future use

>>148491341
No, 2H/dual wield or bow/dual for trials is the stam meta, on any class not just stam sorc. What are you going on about?

>>148491143
Pick either stam or magicka, then pick all the morphs related to that for your class skills. If you go magicka you'll be using resto and destro staves (and maybe dual wield for the slight damage bonus), and if you pick stamina you'll be using 2H/bow/dual wield. 1H/S is for tanks (can be either mag or stam) and some stamina PvP builds.

Class skills can either be stam or magicka depending on morphs (though most utility skills remain magicka based), so you'll be using them regardless.

Bow sorc means you'll be going stam sorc.

>>148491143
Sort of, it's a bit hard to explain.

>Bow, Dual Wield, Two-Hander, Sword and Shield all scale damage off of stamina
>Destruction Staff and Restoration Staff scale damage off of magicka

So like you can be a stam sorc and use bow and swords but optimal you won't be this archer who cast like fireballs and shit, but you can turn into see-through wind form. There are magkica non-damage stuff you'll probably use a stam because you'll always have a bit of mag and they don't scale because they are a buff which is a flat percentage gained like 20% damage reduction for 10 seconds etc, like stam sorc will use an ability called streak which let you teleport short distances.

>>148491746
>>148492140
Different anon. Heard 2h isn't very good right now. Is that true or is it just slightly weaker than DW? What's the best dps you can hope for 2h vs DW?

2h is great for PvP.

>>148492445
What about PvE? Sorry I didn't realize the other anon was asking about PvP. I'm more interested in PvE.

>>148454954
if you're talking pvp sure i'll give you that one

but in pve, my 36k unbuffed magblade dps begs to differ.

>every time I attack something, they attack fucking everything in sight

QUICK, RATE THE ALLIANCES

DC BEST
EP STILL GOOD
AD SHIT

>>148492364
DW has better dps but I still run 2H as my buff bar because of rally. 2H is good in PvP but the real problem in PvE is that its aoe is sadly lacking compared to steel tornado, and dual wield gives you higher weapon damage due to having two weapons.

In vet trials you're expected to use potions for buffs so dual/bow is the stam meta.

Any fix for not being able to assassinate someone with Blade of Woe if they're on an incline? It's super annoying.

Worst part is I've seen people say this before in other grind type games and it's just that they don't even realise that even if they gave you an item that only let you change the trait of an item to another random other trait and then locked it from being changed again, it would lower the RNG by an entire order of magnitude.

I mained AD and I honestly think DC's better.

The only thing AD has going for it are Khajiit, and the fact that we only ever see Suthay (and maybe Suthay-rhat) with the rare seneche means a lot of the fun is missing.

There are bag merchants in cities

If you go to Wayrest, in the bank, the bag merchant is sitting on the left side after you enter.

How is Imperial or Dunmer for magblade?

>>148514360
Imperial is bad for magblade

Dunmer is good because it increases max magicka and damage with fire

>>148514360
Imperial is a good choice only if you think you might go stamblade at some point, and don't want to use race change when it will be available

>>148514360
dunmer's your best choice for pve dps

>playing on wifi

gonna be a shitty connection wew. There were 5 discs in the box to install the game, but you have to register with bethesda anyway and unlock your account, and you can download the game through there. Decided to do that because I've heard the ESO updates are fucking huge and I'd have to re-download most of the game anyway if the disc isn't on a recent patch
