>pvp is a grind because its always the same, it's a glorified battleground not true open world pvp where the situations are always new
>>146680827
dude what
so you're bothered that you're replaying content you yourself chose to replay. And that PvP uses the same map.
There's a lot of shitty thing in ESO but this is just nonsense, I don't see why you'd enjoy any videogame if you don't mind those things.
>>146681328
there are more and more MMOs with a focus on open world PvP and sandbox elements
TESO is a themepark with the tawdry trappings of a sandbox

I like the idea. It would also open up the amount of people who would be able to take advantage since it benefits the group as a whole, something I imagine would be a great first pickup for someone who just completed their first monster set, no matter if they're tank, healer or dps.
>>146682314
there is plenty to criticise, but your reasoning is idiotic
also, the fact that you're even here if you hate it so much is why I asked if you're autistic
>>146681842
>I have to replay this content because I went nightblade when I need to be templar if I wanted to have the cookie cutter build
Unless you're an endgame healer, every class can do almost everything, Nightblade especially. Anyone who talks about cookie cutter builds in this game is retarded, the only thing you ever -need- is a temp for healing trials, because there is no substitute for Practiced Incantation.
>>146682604

No, you could have picked another faction to play.
so how is this game for a PVP only player? that RvRvR thing working?
>>146683326
>RvRvR thing working
what RvRvR thing?
But PvP is doing good. But it's pretty much a must to be in a dedicated PvP guild for coordination. Going at it solo can be difficult.
>>146676597
what, are you talking a 11 level DK? PvP or PvE?
t. not understander
>>146683587
isnt it 3 teams fighting each other?
I'm not saying ESO is shit, it's the best themepark on the market right now. It's got just enough innovation to attract people and just enough grind/treadmill style gameplay to ensure the investors who gave this game a huge budget for CGI trailers etc were forthcoming with the funds.
Quests were fun the first time 2 years ago, but they're extremely repetitive. Changing zones is just changing the color palette and aesthetics. After you begin to view the pre-endgame PvE as a boring grind and the endgame as just another treadmill for gear and other unlocks all you have is PvP.
PvP fails for the same reason GW2's pvp fails. They know people want massive open world PvP fights, but instead of integrating PvP properly into their game world they just consign it to a single zone or area. They create a painfully symmetrical map for it and have the bulk of it revolving around castle siege and defense. Problem is players don't design these castles at all, can't contribute to their defenses, all players can do is garrison them and build siege weapons.
It's all so tiresome because there are so few sandbox elements. I can think of 10 MMOs with better PvE and PvP. ESO has succeeded only in being the jack of all trades wrapped up in a fashionable and profitable IP.
There's a reason these generals only live for a week or two before dying again
>>146683673
yes it is, I didn't recall what RvRvR stood for
>>146684085
good job repeating the same shit that's been said in these generals countless times
>>146684346
good job with the reflexively butthurt response
![Siege-Weapons[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/0OXp9Nj.jpg "Siege-Weapons[1].jpg")
>>146683326
It's a constant 3-way war between the factions on the Cyrodiil mainland. You can in theory join the Alliance war at level 10 and not leave even thou you probably will since there's a lot of non-pvp quests that gives you skill points, points you use to learn new skills.
The battles varies. Sometimes there's something like 40 vs 40 people all battling it out over a single bridge, until the 3rd faction sets up siege weapons and gank squads to fuck over both factions at the same time. Sometimes you're doing quests in the PvP area or look for skyshards (3 of these grants you a skillpoint) that sends you to a cave, and you'll hear another player in front of you. You crouch, trying to avoid getting spotted, and see an enemy player trying to take down a boss. You patiently wait until they're both at fairly low health, then you drink a potion that boosts your damage and make short work of both of them,
But that's when it's at its best. Sometimes you just spend 30 mins dying, travelling from your respawn, only to die again because xxXDUNM3R-DKXxx killed you halfway to the battle.

Sure, if all your PvP experience consist of logging in for 2 straight and never touch it again.
>>146685921
Every time you log off, the following day all your castle gains will have been retaken unless you play on a dead campaign.
90% of the time you're fighting for the same 6 or 7 forts. Zergs never really do anything other than fight along the direct route to and from these forts, or at the forts themselves.
Cyrodill is huge yet for 80% of the land, other players are a rarity, and you'll only find people looking for lorebooks, grind spots or shards.

>>146686837
Did you know you can play and enjoy a game and be able to critize it?
>>146686249
This is bullshit. Get a few people and start a siege at a remote locations and enemies will pour in trying to stop you. If you have spent 90% of your PvP time attacking the same 6 or 7 forts you've join a zerg that's hell-bent on making sure their leader get crowned emperor and thus only focusing on 1/3 of the keeps then you only yourself to blame. Zergs focusing on getting the Elder Scrolls will focus on the other 2/3 of the keeps, join them instead. Or start a small group. Or wait until August when they've added the IC-style PvP to cities.
Hey guys, I enjoy ESO.
>>146688023
Me too
Anyone have a Reshade preset to recommend?
i want to make a 2h warrior type guy in heavy armor. am i limited only to tanking or is it possible to dps?
>>146688536
it's possible to do whatever, but you won't be competitive in veteran endgame
2h is for dps, heavy armor is for tank
you can see how that combo isn't really optimal
>>146689001
so what would be optimal? 2h and medium armor? i've never played before and i'm trying to figure out what's up while it's installing.
>>146688023
I do, however the PvE content is poorly balanced, so are the classes, and I suspect that both the devs and their costumer support is severely understaffed. If it wasn't because the dungeons being fun, the dynamics andexcellent controller support when you've the right addonsI would probably look at other mmo's.
>>146688536
It's possible but not optimal. I would say it's very doable to do end-game dungeons with it but you're forced to work harder than someone with 2h and medium armour for the same result. 2h and medium armour will turn you into a dps beast, no matter what class you pick.
>>146689152
2h and medium would work
basically it goes like this
light armor - magicka build
medium armor - stamina build
heavy armor - health build (tank)
of course, that doesn't mean that all of your gear needs to be one type. depending on how you build, it could end up as a mix of all

Best part about the last episode pf ESO live was probably jewelry-crafting and battlegrounds being worked on.
Anyone else make an alt for each different profession's material storage?
Stamplar or magplar?
>>146697073
No we just use craft bags. I swear it's the only reason to sub for this game, it changes everything.
>>146698498

stamplars only use 2 class skills

magplars can hit 40k with the right buffs
and use mostly class skills
poke sticks are fun either stam or mag though

Yeah, that'll sell more race changes than having some races be better at magicka, stam or health builds.

I've tried literally every pvp mmo on the market right now and always come back to ESO.
Just wasted a solid 3 months of playing Black Desert Online thinking that Sieges would be good.
I've never been so let down - holy fuck. Laggier than ESO ever was and it's just a huge clusterfuck of people trying to kill 1 poorly defended objective that dies in 15 min. The worst part is that this kind of pvp only happens 2 or 3 times a week depending on what objectives your guild wants or has.
I made a long post here about how I was burned out of ESO but now I'm just playing the DLC casually and pvping once in a while and what a fucking relief to play a game that's actually had some effort put into the design.
>>146715573
because wood elves are really really fucking dumb
>>146714574
The only ones I can think of would be to wait with the white-gold tower and imperial city prison since they provide a necklace that's part of the Willpower set and a shield that's part of the Endurance set.
But those aren't really *that* hard to get, I think both pieces goes for something like 5k on the market.
So do whatever you feel like.

Hey guys, what UI mods do you use? I'm new to MMOs so I'm not sure what's 'standard'.
So, I love MMO's. I love leveling, crafting, magic, swords, dragons, professions, questing, all of that. Elder Scrolls fits the bill.
I completely forgot about this game. I was excited when it first released, but then I read it was $15/mo so I completely ignored it.
Now I just saw my friend on Steam playing it and I remembered that there is no longer a sub fee. And it's also on sale for $20.
As a person who dropped 1000+ hours on WoW's PvE, how comparable is this game to WoW? (One thing's for sure, I can probably guarantee it beats WoW in the "Graphics" category. WoW graphics are crap.) How is the PvE? Is there World PvP? Is the economy healthy? Is there a solid population? Is finding a group to run dungeons with prompt? How's the endgame? I don't have the same amount of free time today as I did when I played WoW, so I'm not looking to drop once again 1000+ hours on an MMO (or maybe I am), so I'd be content with a few hundred hour's worth.
Also, first post reads:
>Don't get it on steam, the launcher has issues, check this very post for better deals Edition.
So if purchase it through dlgamer.us, I avoid Steam completely, right? I just launch it via, say, the .exe on my desktop or Games folder?
Thanks anons in advance for any insight/advice/tips.

So... Who thinks it would be a nice if we could actually "disable" town guards? Not kill them, but send them into sort of a temporary downed state maybe that lasts for like, 20 seconds or so?
Or would this only end with an entire guild dedicated to making sure each guard in every town is basically ganked and helpless?
How important is choosing the 'correct' race for a particular build? For example, I'd like to roll a templar heal but I like having some curves to look at while I grind. How retarded is it to go Breton for that?
>>146732509
Templar healers use Magicka, Breton is a top two choice for that m8.
>>146732587
Sweet, thanks. Guide suggested Dunmer which I'm not looking at for 40 hours.
>>146732853
Tbh unless you're going for a full on autistic guild of endgame perfectionists any race can do any build, you'll just fall 5% behind the guys who care about that stuff.
>>146732509
Breton is perfect for templar heal
But you can be plenty good as a race that isn't 'correct', even if a passive doesn't directly align with the traditional role you want, you should be able to tweak how you play to make use of it.

Keep us updated mate.
>>146742859
There's already something similar, you can get disguises that will make the guards ignore you for a while.
>>146724803
Then you'd like this game. I mean I liked all the things you had questions about but they're only opinions. Combats good with dodge rolling and animations canceling. Dungeon finder is broke right now, they shouldn't have changed it for db. Endgame is fine, I think it's easy but that's cause it took me a while to get maxed char.
Yes regarding dlgamer. Or just get it on steam but don't verify integrity or launch it from steam, use game launcher.

Eshays adlays, this shit took forever
>>146746525
New guy here. Is it worth it to use up skill points on hirelings for 1-2 main crafting skills?
>>146746735
They give you yellow quality materials, so yes it's worth.
>>146746735
Sure, there's plenty of skyshards and skill points to get so you can use them on hirelings. Just make sure when you're starting out to have enough skill points to level your actual skills.
>>146746861
>>146746917
Thanks, and how many crafting skilltrees you can reasonably focus on?
>run vma 30+ times on magdk

>>146747265
Tbh you should get all of them to 50.
Blacksmithing, clothing, woodworking and enchanting will help you make end game gear.
Provisioning and alchemy makes their effects last longer, with alchemy taking high priority since you should be using pots on cooldown.
But what I did was make an alt to craft gear, so I leveled blacksmithing, clothing, woodworking and enchanting. And then on all my other characters get their provisioning and alchemy to 50.
>>146747265
Keep research and motifs focused on one character, that's my advice.

Guys help me.
I love this fucking game. Ive been playing for 3 days now. Sorcerer is so fun
>>146748215
You didn't read the bit about not buying it on steam?
Just don't boot it up from steam, only use game launcher.
>>146717028
Specular maps (I think) only get activated if you start tweaking from high or ultra presets, they're not a toggable setting (although they are in the .ini).
How long do these things usually take

very long or very little, depending on the thing

While you're waiting, get comfy with this podcast I found out of nowhere. It's a 30 min interview where Lawrence Schick, the Loremaster, roleplay as a scholar getting summoned to Oblivion to answer lorequestion from curious daedras.
http://www.op-cast.com/eso-rp/loremasters-episode-of-eso-rp-zos-interview
Apperently eso-rp or w/e they're called will be doing something similar in the future.
>>146749449
Well i dont know much about the game at all at this point, so by the time the endgame comes around ill definitely have played through many more fun characters. I just like the idea of Sorcerer summoning pets to solo mkre difficult encounters. Or so ive read
>>146749614
> I just like the idea of Sorcerer summoning pets to solo mkre difficult encounters. Or so ive read
As a sorc I can confirm that this is correct.
>>146747265
put all your equipment crafting on one character, to save on research and motifs. However it may be worth it to get to 50 on all the equipment crafts and enchanting on every character to put the points in tiers and then hirelings, so you get some tier 10 mats and maybe yellow temper items in the mail per character. One character can have all the main points in each equipment craft though (doesn't need keen eye or the research passive (once research is done anyway) and do all your processing and breaking down (once you no longer need to level crafts on anyone anyway) and crafting/upgrading though.
Enchanting can be on a different character unless you want mats in the mail and have the points
Alchemy and Provisioning should be maxed on all characters to get maximum medicinal use and gourmet but you can refund all the points in those lines otherwise once you get maxed. It might be worth putting points into the alchemy reagent keen eye, they can be hard to see otherwise. Learn all your blue and purple provisioning recipes on one character that is your main cook though.
So is this game actually any good? I enjoyed Skyrim and Oblivion, and recently have been playing the Witcher series which I am really enjoying too.
Is this worth a punt? Never played an MMO, but from what I hear you can ignore all of that and play it as a single player game, is that right?
>>146749701
Great. Awesome. Fun. I can't wait. Do you have any tips or strategies? I am currently level 12 using Destruction staff Reach/Elemental Barrier + Dark Crystal and the immobilize dark magic ability. I summon pets occasionally put i try not to rely on them too much so i can get comfortable with the other abilities.
Are there must haves in the Destruction staff line? Or any must haves for Sorcerers in general?
>>146749883
Are there any BoP recipes or whatever?
What class tanks the best?
>>146750225
Not that I know of.
>>146691780
I used to make an effort to say hi in every group in any MMO i've ever played. I've long since stopped caring, you're lucky to have more than 5 words typed between 4 party members in modern MMO group finder dungeons.
>>146750445
The MMO barrier to entry used to be owning a gaming PC, having fast enough internet and being able to afford a monthly subscription, but in these days of B2P and F2P games designed to run on consoles practically any kid can play them.
>>146750163
>from what I hear you can ignore all of that and play it as a single player game, is that right?
no, you can't ignore ALL of it. there will be other players doing the same quest as you, there will be content that's meant to be done in groups, there will be 5 hour long maintenances that won't let you fucking play when you want to play
it's an MMO first and foremost. If you don't like MMOs, you will not like ESO.but yes, it's goodenough
>>146750201
Force Pulse, the third destro skill, is basically a stonger spam-skill than Reach and you kinda need it on sorc because Sorcs don't have their own spam-skill. Elemental Blockade is extremely good too and pretty much every magicka DD uses it.
So how does the Champion Point system work, do you just go straight into gaining pseudo-levels when you hit 50?
>>146751003
Yep.
>>146750235
Dragonknights. Block passive, chains to grad enemies, AoE root to keep mob groups together, multiple passives for resource management, Shield for you and your team, emergency "i am nigh unkillable"-ultimate.
>>146751286
Somebody here said that the Dark Brotherhood update made them account-wide not character specific, is that the case?
And are the points applied to your account or say if I earn 30 of them and then reach 50 on a second character will they have 30 points waiting to be spent?
>>146751430
They're account wide and you can distribute them freely among your characters.
So say you have someone that is level 50 and have 30 champion points and you make a new character. This character have 30 champion points to spend the moment you exit character customization. However he will not be able to gain any champion points before he have reached level 50.
And say you play some on your new character but then go back and run some dungeons on the one old one, and end up with 35 champion points on him. If you now decide to stop doing dungeons and go back to your new character, you will have 5 more champion point to spend on it.
>>146751430
They were always account-wide. They just made it so your level scales based on the CP instead of vet-ranks. Once you hit level 50 on any char he scales to your accountwide CP. You can distribute the points on level 3 already to get the %benefits and stuff.
>>146751702
Oh shit nigga that's dope, I'm gonna finish leveling my first character before the altitis sets in and I make a ton of new ones.
>>146751778

???
lads i am new 10 level what should i do to get 50 FAST should i do quests or should i farm mobs??
>>146752726
Do quests at least the first time, they are really good. Second time onwards just do the main quests for free skill points and grind the rest because it's faster
>>146752797
There's a couple of free skill points in each zone from doing the questlines there too m8.
>>146752726
>get to 50 FAST
why do people rush to max level? Never found that appealing. I keep fooling around, being a nigger and stealing shit, got myself a mount at level 9, feels good.
>>146752914
Yeah I mean the alliance-main-quest and the prophet-main-quest. Just not the side stuff like "help daedra took my cow, please run through this ruin for 10% exp".
>>146751702
>Paragon point system on an MMO
That sounds like newer players will never be able to catch up to older ones with tons of CP. It works for D3 because season resets give everyone the chance to start on equal ground.
>>146752428
I got it on steam, dled a lot before install, dled some more after install because applying patches. Everything works fine so far.
Should I still use the game launcher instead of running from steam? I'm afraid that if I do that THEN the problems might start showing up.
>>146753158
There's a maximum amount of allocatable points which is 501. You continue gaining points after that but you can't put them anywhere.
>>146753249
Neither, locate the 64 bits exe under the "live" folder and launch from there, unless you have to update the client (the game will tell you)
>>146753158
I've been told by guild people (not the /tesog/ guild I don't dank meme) that it takes roughly the same amount of time to get to 501 as it does to get to level 50.
I hope this is true I don't want to be gimped forever.
>>146753401
we don't meme :(
>>146753401
How long does it take to get to 50?
What faction is the EU guild on? Can they work cross faction?
>>146753495
DC. Yes, it only matters in alliance war.
>>146753485
I dunno I'm at like 45 and the fucking server's down so I can't check played time.
>>146753401
I'm pretty sure it takes way longer to reach max CP than max level.
>>146753401
>t it takes roughly the same amount of time to get to 501 as it does to get to level 50
Complete and utter bullshit.
>>146753158
I don't know how the Paragon point system works.
In ESO, there is a catchup mechanic whereas people of lower cp gain them faster, there's a cap on cp501, and if you like PvP there is a campaign with the bonuses you get from cp disabled.
>>146753401
>I've been told by guild people (not the /tesog/ guild I don't dank meme) that it takes roughly the same amount of time to get to 501 as it does to get to level 50.
You're getting meme'd on.
>>146753542
Is it active? I just happen to be on DC
>>146753682
We're growing, and you can join up to 5 guilds, anyway :)
How long is the server maintenance usually?
>>146754113
5 hours, but I don't know when it started
>>146754113
Patch notes are up so it should be finished soon. It's usually around 2 hours, much longer for a DLC-patch.

TESOG guild is by far the least fucking autistic guild of 4chan I've ever been in. Everyone is relatively quiet except for the few that just talk about stuff like trading or just chatting. I haven't seen a single meme since I joined like over a week ago.
>>146754317
>I'm a lvl 10 DK, stamina build
Hey me too, wanna fuck? But on a serious note, what skills are you running with? I'm using:
>Puncture- Pierce Armor
>Dark Talons- Choking Talons
>Fiery Grip- Empowering Chains
>Spiked Armor- Volatile Armor
>Stonefirst(just using it to get EXP in Earthen Heart)
>>146754919
its probably a reddit guild
>>146755052
Or it's just not a bunch of spergs?
We're back nignogs.
>>146755031
Uh, I don't level with sword and shield, using 2 handers for that.
For dungeons I was gonna go with mana return chain pull, puncture w/ armor pierce, talons (not evolved yet), that weapon skill that reduces damage done by enemy and spiked armor that gives a shield.
For ult I have the dragon jump thingy.I don't know any skill names sorry.
I haven't tanked anything yet, only got to 10 yesterday and the party finder is broken. Maybe I'll get a group today at some point.
>>146755189
I've done a couple of dungeons so far, not too bad. Just remember to keep Spiked Armor up as much as possible and taunt everything. Food is also a big help.
>>146755352
I've read somewhere that taunt is the puncture skill? Or is it something else? I've tanked in other MMOs and I can't find anything that resembles a taunt.
>>146755189
Use the Banner as ult (it has a morph that increases damage you deal by 25% and reduces damage you take by 25%), the magma armor, or warhorn from the alliance war lines. Dragon Jump is pretty shit outside of PvP or zone-PvE.
Other skills seem fine.
![58c[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/rK4NHx4.jpg "58c[1].jpg")
>>146754317
Block incoming attacks. While blocking you're not regaining stamina so blocking while not getting stuns your ability to block when you really need it.
You have two taunts. One in one-arm and shield and one in the undaunted skill-line. Both last 15 secounds. Taunt the boss monster, and if there's 1 or 2 stronger mobs that's obviously not trash mobds, taunt them as well.
Before you do the dungeon let people know that it's your first time running the dungeon, another player will usually say it's ok and explain the mechanics before each boss. If you're having trouble with one boss and get wiped, don't hesitate to ask for 2 minutes and look up the specific boss and how to beat it on http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Dungeons
>>146755412
Puncture and an undaunted skill are the only taunts. They are both single targets. Just taunt fattys and CC the trashmobs.
>>146755412
Yep, puncture. There's no AoE taunt as far as I know. Kinda just have to run around and Pucture everything. But unlike most other MMOs it doesn't look like you have to have 100% of trash on you 100% of the time.
>>146755435
>Look up how to beat it
Here's a tip.
Don't stand in the ohko aoe attacks.
Server is online lads
Time to lag in PvP and bitch about dyes in the general chatt
>>146755657
And the group finder worked on top of that.
>>146755657
>bitch about dyes
Why? Feel like the dye system in this game is actually pretty good. Not locking dyes behind a paywall or a goldsink is great.
>>146757471
>Not locking dyes behind a paywall
I have some bad news for you.
Dying costumes is going to be a crown store feature only unless you have ESO plus.
Group finder working , feels good
>>146757594
So we can still dye normal armor, right?
>>146757594
>Dying costumes
you will still be able to dye armor
>>146757594
Aren't costumes bought in the crown store to begin with? Maybe I'm missing something?
They're not taking anything away from existing players from what I can tell, just making a new feature ESO+ exclusive. Honestly ESO+ needs a bit of a boost in value, the crafting inventory was a very good start.
>>146754317
>>146755435
I think you only need to look up veteran dungeons and you should do it before running any veteran dungeon for the first time. There is no guarantee your group members know the mechanics, want to bother explaining it or know how the tank should play. And the wiki is outdated as fuck, it doesn't even have veteran Banished Cells listed. Deltias veteran guides are old too but the mechanics described there are still the same currently. There's some things not there like where to skip through the lava in veteran City of Ash.
>>146757680
>>146757697
>>146757769
Yes you can still dye your regular armor.
COSTUMES ONLY are behind paywall.
