well, it's why I don't like making the threads, someone's always gotta complain but we were about to just lose the thread entirely again.

anyway, onto game discussion, apparently forcing locks doesn't earn legerdemain experience. wish I'd known that earlier.

>>167935720
Thanks for informing us. That will save some headaches in future.

Where are some pretty decent places to go on b&e sprees or pickpocket+kill combo? Almost everytime I find a place that looks perfect, I end up with 1k bounties

>>167935720
>forcing locks
Who does this?

>>167935831
Mournhold is quite nice.

Personally I'm fond of Abah's Landing.

You've got skills then m8. That city is cursed for me. Might be because of the lantern goons

>>167935831
Try any city that has docks, docks tend to be full of NPCs but rarely guards so even if you get a bounty who cares.

>>167935831

Well a good easy place to start getting your legerdemain up is actually the warehouse in Auridon, no guards, no witnesses so you can just grab stuff from the barrels and fence. As far as the actual stealing goes, it helps for me that I'm a stealthy race, so I can make it harder to detect me. You can also wear Night Terror (stormhaven) or Night Mother's Embrace (Deshaan) sets (or both, they stack) along with the medium armor bonus of 35% reduction in detection radius.

But With forcing lockboxes (making it take less time) I can almost steal from right under their nose. PICKING the lockboxes gets experience, but is more risky. There are some less risky boxes in daggerfall covenent inns, where they can spawn in the bedrooms out of sight. Blade of woe also makes stealing easier just silently killing witnesses. Looting the body of someone you killed with blade of woe also yields stolen items.

>>167935893

I did until I figured out it doesn't give legerdemain exp, and I will again once I get to rank 19 or 20 of the line, and I still will if the lockbox is in a risky place where I can't risk the store owner turning around and spotting me.

The tunnel vision you get when picking locks makes it really easy to get bounties otherwise.

>>167936106
>>167936212
Right. I'll pick a couple sea cities and check auridon out. Thanks guys

docks are good because of all the laborers/fishermen too, they have the highest success rate for pickpocketing.

How bad is it to use a guild just to dump all your items? I horde items for research and i've run out of bank and inventory. I doubt I'd ever use a quarter of it so yeah is it frowned upon to just dump it in the guild bank?

To the new player in the last thread who was selling the drops and quest rewards, stop doing that. Instead, deconstruct it at workbenches/anvils. You have the chance to get metal ingots back, and sometimes trait gems and upgrade widgets. That green sword that you sold for 30 gold may decon and give you a trait gem worth 40 and an upgrade widgets worth 50 - 500, depending on rarity.

Also, this will upgrade your blacksmithing, woodworking, and clothing skill trees. Even if you don't put points into crafting, the higher your skill tree, the higher tier nodes you can find in the world.

Also, I would recommend tossing a point into the hireling skills. It's free crafting mats, and sometimes you'll get gold upgrade widgets that go for anywhere from 3.7k (Kuta, enchanting) to 10k (temper, blacksmithing).

what's the difference in dps between willpower and ia/moondancer?

>>167936575

Oh that's why he was only getting 1k for selling? I thought we were BOTH talking about fencing stolen goods.. I was confused at how you wouldn't get much for that.

Only sell ornates.

So I've just started really, about level 6. Didn't complete all of the Port Hunding quests but the questline I was on ended up with me on a quaint little orc island investigating a cults activities.

Playing a qt breton templar, heavy armour and sword+board. Pretty fun so far, very impressed.

My only question is; I've been blasting all my level up points into magicka, should I start upping my health at any point?

Oh and also: at what level do I get to start doing proper MMO stuff like group dungeons and shit.

>>167936803
No he's talking about someone else.
I more precisely get roughly 2k a run

>>167936864
>should I start upping my health at any point?
Nope. The best way is to focus either entirely on stam or mag. Only if you're very experienced with the game and how the combat works is it advisable to do a health/mag health/stam combo.

>Oh and also: at what level do I get to start doing proper MMO stuff like group dungeons and shit.
Honestly, any level after 10 if you run with casuals who don't mind wiping a bit.

>>167936864
Skills scale off the resource used to spend them and I don't recommend running a hybrid build as game doesn't really work like that. So if you wanna do mostly Weapon Skills/Stamina Morphs then do Stamina, Spells and Staves do Magicka.

Level 10 is when the Dungeons/PvP open up and more group activities. Sword and Board/Heavy Armor would put you as a tank, tanking isn't generally hard, don't try to hold all the mobs aggro it just won't happen. Focus on the big guys (usually using a sword/shield or a 2h) and interupt healers/spellcasters if you can, obviously hold boss aggro and avoid red circles of death for the most part.

>>167937162
>avoid red circles of death
This. Alot of trash mobs do these attacks and if you're not paying attention and/or focused on something else, you'll get slaughtered in a heartbeat.

At lower levels imps were my bane

>>167937264
>low level vamp at stage 4
>anything fire related
Nightmares.

>>167937264
Yeah i learned that pretty quick, have gotten good at keeping enemies in my sightline and dodge rolling out the way or interuptin/blocking where applicable.

>>167937162
>>167937136
Thanks a bunch guys, I'll crack on till level 10 then. The main kind of quest lines are fairly intersting anyway, not used to that from an MMO.

>>167937264
Anytime i'm in a dungeon I play in third person. Fuck those buggers that hide in little alcoves and get you from behind

From that leaked map image i don't remember seeing ald'ruhn on there.

>>167937663
3rd person gives you almost 360 degree vision around your character. It's easier to spot enemies. How is that not better? Not that playing in 1st person never works.

>>167937787
Well besides that does it have any appeal?

You don't play as a girl because you're afraid that you're going to stimulate your inner desires of being a girl.

What if you're playing as a man because you're gay?

>>167938616
But look at the competition. Altmers are inbred, Bretons are muttons and Dunmers are edgy. Then you have the Bosmers, the shittiest race in all of Tamriel. Consider this; Khajiits are furry Bosmer, yet it's still somehow an improvement over regular Bosmers. That's how shitty Bosmers are.

Being a polished turd isn't really that bad for an elf.

anyone know the timing of when there werewolves that can give lycanthropy spawn? I know the spawn locations and earlier I saw bloodfiends, but no ww's.

Bought the game ages ago and never really bothered to play it afterwards. Only started again recently.
Do I remember it wrong or did they change up where you end up after Coldhaven? Because I'm sure as fuck that you didn't start somewhere in a snowly landscape as a lizard.

>>167939327
They've gone back and forth on this a few times. Originally you had the tutorial zones before the mainland, then they made them optional and you started on the mainland but new players got confused, then they made them optional again but its where you start at.

>>167941569
EP is anti-sjw. The dark elves are based as fuck.

>>167947080
BDO, yes. The texture popin is pretty terrible, but everything else looks really good.
Then there is EvE, although you can't really count that one.
Then we have games like GW2, if you turn of the piss filer it looks pretty alright, and the models&animations are like 50 times better than ESO. You literally cannot defend animations and models in eso.

One could claim that BnS or tera look "better", although that comes down tot aste i think. those worlds certainly are more colorful and vibrant. ESO looks like LOTRO, and boy that game is fucking ugly as well. Cold, uninspired landscapes, terrible draw distance, terrible models, washed out colors

WoW is not really comparable as its using a weird, comic like style which is something that, kinda like pixel art, never really ages. Some zones look good, most don't.

>>167947336
>tfw I loved LOTRO

To be honest though I don't know what you are expecting, you could use SweetFX/Hook64 to try and tweak the graphics, there are some ini tricks you can do but the animations are basic and the models serviceable. I've never expected anything graphically from an MMO because its not the kind of genre that pushes those boundaries.

I'm god damn calling it now, you won't be making your own "abilities" like vigor, force pulse, BoL, etc but the "spell" will be the rune from 1h/rune, so it'll be similar to crafting your own gear and weapons.

>>167949806

>>167950152

pretty much what I've been telling people in this thread every time it has been brought up because they have these ideas of pure grandeur, where they think they'll be getting limitless options to make any spell they want, like some kid thinking that the next GTA will be every map combined.

>>167950624
This. It'll be something akin to adding an additional effect to certain spells, should it ever become a thing. For example: Adding a 2 second damage shield, with little health, for hitting an enemy with elemental blockade.

>>167947336
There's nothing we with models and animations really, they're better than in Skyrim.
And lol at 'more colourful' and 'vibrant' worlds, meaning cartoonish and anime-like. ESO colour palette is great as it is, some places are already even too colourful or stylised IMO.

>>167951083

U wot. The characters in this game look like they're designed by fucking CLAMP.

>>167950624
>>167950962
I think ZoS understands that if you give players anything that contributes to a DPS advantage they are going to stack it, hence why we may see Spellcrafting reworked into something completely different. Look at Legion:
>Introduce Legendary Items with unique effects
>Nobody gives a shit if it does anything other than boost your damage
>Mandatory to try and appease RNG to get your damage boost or you might as well reroll

And FFXIV:
>Nobody wants Paladin Tanks because they do less damage than Warriors/Dark Knights
>Everything is about maximizing your DPS across all roles.

People aren't allowed to just enjoy shit anymore it's all about min/maxing your damage to make everything take less time so everyone can get loot faster.

is there any trading guild where you can actually sell something that doesn't require some unrealistic quotas?

>>167966428
>doesn't require some unrealistic quotas?
Please explain this.

>>167966632
that doesn't want you to sell lots of shit per week or you get thrown out

>>167966428
If you're on PC EU I can invite you to one in Mournhold that only ask you to pay em 2k a week.

Anyone here using s'rendarr aura, buff and debuff tracker?

redpill me on eso's engine is it shitty gamebyro?

i want to buy the game but fuck gamebyro

>>167967960
it was prototyped on the infamous Hero engine, but it uses neither that nor gamebryo. it's custom. not terribly good, but at least it has a real API in LUA for modding instead of mucking about in internals for everything.

>>167968052

The physics/movement definitely feels ripped right out of Gamebryo. They have a better lightning engine though, Visually the lighting in this game is the best aspect.

At least my other trade guild is still hanging in there but they've moved from rawk to mournhold and I'm not sure if that's because competition has kicked them out or if mournhold is better.

Wish I had my craglorn trader back but 100k quota a week was killing me, I can make that but then my other guilds only get scraps and I can easily drop eso for 2-4 weeks and play something else if I'm not feeling it.

>>167970112
But there is furnishing that matches its style, in the crown store; goyim.

>>167970437
nope. strident springs demesne is colovian style, and only nibenese furnishings remain even in the crown store.

but maybe they'll work it out by the time it hits consoles. they did the fucking modelling work already after all.

Not DK that's for sure.

Sorc is kind of cool at first I mean you have pets and once you morph crystal frags it's kind of cool to proc and then instantly annihilate things with it, but after awhile you get tired of soamming quick skills like force pulse just trying to get a proc, overload is pretty strong especially with elegant set, but it's also spammy.

Magblade used to be really good.

Mount, which is cool, you can start training it right away, instead of having to get 10k gold first, then start training, save you some time.

well. the level scaling at the game puts you, at 1st level, on par with endgame mobs. as you level up, you gradually lose the stat advantage you have and need to specialize and use your skills and focused equipment, and your better knowledge of game mechanics (don't stand in red, block, dodge, interrupt).

the quest writing I found really good though. what did you dislike about that?

How hard is healing in this game?

>>167977136
Use true fullscreen, that way you aren't rendering the desktop at the same time as the game.

>>167977397
i once turned them off but then back on immediately because everything looked so artificial

>>167977509
Depends on whether or not your teammates can avoid easily-avoidable damage. Some dungeon runs I can get by with only spot healing here and there, other ones I can't switch off of my resto staff because they can't see damage indicators.

Those four classes are actually able to do different builds that's why. Each class can do healer, tank, and two types of dps (Magicka [spells/staves] or Stamina [feats/weapons]).

Well, the aren't completely awful, but you have to keep in mind that the way calculations work, their last passive is worthless.

Imperials, Orcs, and Argonians edge them out as far as usefulness goes.

>>167987216
You always partner with a buddy to get the 10% bonus XP boost anyway. It also makes CP farming doubly fast.

>server is down, log in later
[e] okay
[FU] not okay

If I have to go outside and get dehydrated, it's ok you, zos.

>>167987241

Still down.

I wanna grind :^(

>>167987385
On you, even.

Other than the characters looking like shit this MMO is pretty good for the price and optional subscription model.

>>167987241
>>167987385
Hopefully it'll be up in another hour or so. Not to be a gibsmedat but ZoS should give out a conciliatory crown sale or something for fucking up on a prime time with their most popular server

i wish i could afford this game ;__; is it possible to get the gold edition even cheaper than the current steam sale?

Planning to roll a bosmer. Already have a sorcerer, what other class is fun for them?

At least during this down time we can all appreciate best girl.

Gank blade. Nightblade, proc armor sets, attack from stealth, one shot people in PvP.

>>167987619
how would I know what it's going for on steam, lol

buy an edition that isn't gold

>>167987931
gold edition is 30 bucks on steam. and i want to play the game solo and was told that gold edition would help with the sort of experience i want from the game

kinguin has a key for €23, if you forego all protection and go for the cheapest bidder.

protip: skip a meal instead

play this game solo with fresh toon or restart monster hunter?

>>167987709

Stamblade or Stamknight can work with the poison attacks on bow (DK has some poison attacks that increase damage from all poison damage I think)

look at the bright side at least eso is better than every single weeb waifushit like ffxiv

>>167988405
fuck. i wish i could find a best buy near me, because i DO have this gift card that could put a dent in the price via a steam card, but i don't think i'll be able to make it in time for the end of the sale. i'm so sad

>>167988540
>>167987837
Looks like Stamblade it is. Been meaning to mess with legerdemain anyway

>>167988814

If you do dark brotherhood, you can make a lot of money on sacrament quests. Finish all of the side objectives, you get a blue bag that has random items, can contain motifs that sell for 20k.

you can play until Morrowind releases and still not complete all content in the base game. the DLC is great, but not required.

So, music that you listen to while playing? I unironically enjoy Manowar.

>>167987769
I want Lyris to kill me.

>>167989032
I love Manowar, but the in-game music fits real well.

that said,
>Eye of the Storm

>>167989032
so I can do end game with the base? other stuff is like quests?

>>167989032
i don't like being cut off from content. id rather buy the definitive edition.
does anyone want to trade a best buy gift card for the game ;__;

>Currently in testing, if all goes well servers should be up within the hour

>>167989370
I don't play anywhere near as much as some of these anons do mostly since when I do decide to play, the game decides to shit itself, a la today's unscheduled 'maintenance' but I really do like the game's soundtrack. there's a lot of inspiration from the mainline games in the music, or even outright tracks redone.

something like WoW, where the same 30sec track repeats over and over, no. winamp please. and then I just listen to other games' soundtracks anyway

>>167989685
you know the gold edition is actually missing one of the DLC right

>>167989586
breakdown of DLC:

imperial city: PvE area in PvP area with PvP still on
orsinium: wrothgar is a huge area with good quests and good crafting
thieves guild and dark brotherhood: good skill lines for thieving and assassination

not included in gold: shadows of the hist, two ballbreaking dungeons.

at most, orsinium veteran maelstrom arena may drop the best stamina PvE weapons, but other than that, all fluff.
