Yes
First for join the guilds people. I've joined it for a little less than a month and most of the anons are cool and helpful. Meme spouting is kept to a minimum and NA PC has ~50 members now
Daily crafting quests worth doing as you level? Seems like a lot of shit.
>>148088960
I reckon if you have ESO+ you can pick up every single material you find (because of crafting bags) and it won't be that much of a hassle. You also get alright gold and lots of inspiration points for doing your daily writs.
Me personally, I wait until I'm max and start grinding mobs so I can decon equipment I pick up. It goes up pretty fast + I also get CP while I'm doing this. This way, I can get my passives to 9/10 to do writs in Craglorn and have a chance of getting potent nirncrux (valued around 18k on NA PC) every time I do writs.
>>148088960
When I level an alt I didn't do them unless I had the materials. I didn't go out of my way to do them before when I reached max level. Now I do all of them. There's an addon called LazyWrit that do them for you.
>>148089818
I think I need to look into the addons more. Skipped over them thinking I'd get a handle on the default game first.
Holy fuck, 51 members. I remember the old /tesog/ guild and it only had around 6 members. Nice to see this community grow.
Black or green eyes for a Bosmer? I'm leaning towards black.
>>148091993
Left looks better
Is it possible to be a dps SNS in late game and not be a useless piece of shit?
>you can have horns
Okay, that's pretty cool.
>>148092332
Yeah, it does now that I think about it.
>>148092360
I don't see how. Where would you get your damage from? Purely class abilities?
>>148095443
Just got a flashback from when templars could use their aedric spear abilities with their shield up. I hope we never see something like that again.

>>148091993
>>148092332
>>148092536
Left is more traditional amoung TES games for Bosmer (in Morrowind they always had pure black eyes) but Right can work too, Skyrim gave Wood Elves more color variation to their eyes, We'll ignore Oblivion because their character models were universally awful.
>>148095443
Well, when soloing sword and shield can be useful to have for the charge/stun (and shield morph is pretty nice), and pierce armor for easy fracture and breach, can be useful for nightblade who doesn't have a reflect otherwise.. but It wouldn't be useful in a group where you actually have a tank.
>>148096704
I'd put altmer and dunmer as equals. Altmer doing more lightning damage and having a larger magicka bonus balances out the higher fire damage of dunmer if you're a sorc. If you're a magiblade or magplar then yeah probably Dunmer, and Dunmer Magiknight used to be great but Magiknight is awful now.
>>148097258
I'm not ranking them for their racial abilities dude.

>>148100712
Orsinium > Imperial City > Dark Brotherhood > Thieves Guild
Orsinium was what I expected all DLC's to be like.
>>148100712
Orsinium and IC are absolutely 100% essential.
TG and DB are alright if you're into single player campaigns, or RPing around the justice system, or are just looking for something to do.
>>148100712
Orsinium > IC > TG > DB

who /hype/ for Skyrim remaster?
>>148106871
Meh
Can someone experienced in pvp give me the run down of all the siege equipment and what's most effective for them?
Like are fire ballistas or trebuchets best for firing at walls or enemies and stuff like that.
>>148107804
Firebolt ballistas are the best for literally everything.
>>148108061
Okay, I'll probs stock up on those then and not worry about the rest
>>148108061
Ballistas and tebuchets have the same dps, it's just that one of em have a better reach and slower reload. A rule of tumb is stone against walls and fire against everything else. The catapult is the middle one. Meatbag do damage over time while the scattershot is great (but only great) when you've so many people outside you're having a hard time killing everything.
Looks like its that time of night where dungeon finder doesnt find anyone at all.
Time to go to sleep
>>148107804
Stone or fire trebs for destroying walls, Fire Ballista for destroying enemy sieges and people. Meatbags to stop enemies from healing up. Meatbag Catapult + 2x Fire Ballista + Oil makes it near impossible to get into an enemy keep through a single hole
>>148107804
Make sure you do the cyrodiil intro quests. They explain the siege stuff, and give skill points. Do not skip. And stone trebs for walls.
does this game have an rp scene
Does the cyrodiil weekend vendor ever give shoulders, or is it always just helms?
>>148114395
Yea. You notice it when if you're part of the Daggerfall Covenant. It will probably grow (along with social guild activities in general) once the houses are released next year.
>>148114395
Yes, definitely. I'm looking forward to One Tamriel so I can interact with players of other alliances as well.

>>148116734
congrats dude
mind sharing your money making ways?
>>148099790
nah, only Bosmer look really better than the humans.
Dunmer all have this permanent scowl to their faces that kind of ruins them, not to mention the skin and eyes, and Altmer look like they have bad fake spray tans half the time and too hard/serious faces a lot of the time as well. There's only a few Altmer NPC's that look remotely pretty.
So basically.. Bosmer, then 3/4 of the human races. Oh, I forgot Redguard, which would be between Altmer and Orsimer.

lots of fun.
>>148119752
>Only if you're into PVP though, I haven't touched it because I have 0 interest in getting ganked and losing everything I spent time gathering.
Don't think of it like that anon, think of the possibility of you ganking other people and taking everything they've spent time gathering.
>>148119665
>Dunmer all have this permanent scowlthat is my fetish hnnnggg
As a Breton Templar healer is it a super big no no to have 5 piece heavy and two light with sns and Resto staff? I'm asking for lategame because whenever I ask people in game on the Xbox they seem to have an aneurysm when I mention heavy armor.
>>148120316
not quite optimal. if you want to be a tank+healer it's a start, though. endgame though you will have to go 5 light, destro/resto- assuming endgame is referring to trials.
>>148120316
If you want to be a dedicated healer, you want either 7 light or 5-1-1 mostly light.
Your described build is basically a magicka temp tank.
>>148116487
Loremaster needs to fucking die, he still thinks he's on D&D or whatever the fuck he came from
>>148120201
I'm fucking awful at 1v1 fights though, always have been in every game.
Doesn't help that I live in the US but still have an Australian like ping.
>>148121010
But anon, that's nothing that can't be overcome with a good load of American hard work and can-do attitude.
Goddamn, I love magblade. Sure, it doesn't really have much burst in pvp. Sure, the dps can't compete with stamina in pve. But you can't die. You are literally immortal, if you pay attention. And you never, ever have to fight anything that you don't want to fight at either pve or pvp, because of permanent invisibility.
Just being able to go to Cyrodiil for skyshards and run through the delves past EVERYTHING gets my dick harder than any 48k parse.
>>148121795
if I haven't improved in the 10 years I've been playing MMO's I don't think I'm going to improve significantly overnight either. I have shitty reflexes and add a 200 ping to those shitty reflexes and I'll never git gud at duels.
>>148122241
I've been wanting to try out magblade for a while now, It does sound pretty fun.
Do I have psychological problems or does my grievous ward complain everytime I get it out?
Who knows this game better Alcast or Deltia
>>148123958
Alcast, Deltia has been out of touch for months.
>>148123958
Alcast. Not saying Deltia don't know his stuff, it's just that Alcast knows his stuff even more. And he always post cheaper alternatives to the gear he have.
>>148123313
No. After all,Dusk got turned into the Grievous ward as payback
So how much is the story influenced by your race? Just that first island or what?
>>148126580
No influence at all.
Sometimes there might be a different bit of dialogue with someone, but on the whole it makes no difference.
>>148126580
You get a chance to become a chief of a clan if you are an orc but that doesn't change anything beside one line of dialogue
So I got 3 2H weapons in a row from the maelstrom weekly, none of those with a good trait. I have more MS 2Hs than other MS weapons combined, what is this bullshit?
>>148127869
>endgame pver problems
Which traits?
>>148126878
You always strand on that redguard island as the first zone after the intro?
>>148128076

>>148117978
Never spend gold (use grand repair kits from writs)
Do TG heists and sell the motifs (for the gold)
Do crafting writ dailies (for the tempers)
>>148128227
If you're in the Daggerfall Covenant or doing Cadwell's gold/silver, yeah.
>>148128361
oh god, I can't even do vMa yet, and if I got one of those after dying 50 times trying to beat it i'd probably neck myself
>>148128227
Race has nothing to do with that, only your alliance which is, admittedly, race-locked for anyone without the Adventurer Pack or Imperial edition. But base-game it doesn't matter if you're a redguard, breton or orc, you'll end up on that island because you're DC by default. Similarly, it doesn't matter if you're a dunmer, nord or argonian - all of them go to Bleakrock, unless they've done something to end up in a different alliance than Ebonheart Pact.

if I'm in sneak mode and undetected, can someone from the opposite faction see me, or is that sneak just for pve?
>>148128584
Don't worry, there's still a 50% chance you'll only get a shitty setpiece instead of a maelstrom weapon. Only 100% chance on a weapon is Weekly.
>>148129724
They won't be able to see you. Only if they activate mage light or something like that or if I think you walk by extremely close to them, then they will see you
>>148106871
>excited for updated graphics when you could already have them with a decent pc
Still laughing.
>>148106871
Admitting to buying that scam should be a bannable offense on 4chan.
>>148131859
Not him and I'm not hyped but fact that PC users who got legendary/all the dlcs get it for free and the only thing to really be hyped about is it being 64bit, which is going to allow modders to go fucking crazy.
>>148131859
isn't it on the "new" F4 engine?
>>148132530
You mean the one that's basically the F3 engine but slightly tweaked in some ways?
>>148132780
Which is the same as Morrowind hence the quotations
>>148132896
Yeah then. Same shit, new skin.
>>148091779
I think, at least for the PC having that platform census up in the op is a good lure for people because it kind of affirms "Yeah there are other people here playing on the same system as me, this might be worth joining."

Had to google because I thought you were trolling, who the fuck remasters a five-year-old game?
>>148136574
>>148136574
Their reasoning is they ported Skyrim to Fallout 4 to test the engine
>>148129074
One of the most convenient cities too
>>148137010
Yeah, since they moved the wayshrine to the middle of the crafting area it's great.
>>148136574
They get loads of dosh from console fags.
On PC it's free if you have every DLC.
>>148136884
>ported Skyrim to Fallout 4 to test the engine
wat?
Why did Arkay forsake Lamae
>>148137630
Because used goods.
Do I have to have a vampire skill slotted to level it or just being one is enough?
>>148136574
Because it'll sell to the little plebs who never played any other TES game and keep asking for a 'Skyrim 2'.
>>148138984
You need to slot skill or ult.
And it only affects one bar, so if you want vampire passives for both bars, you need to slot a skill or ult to both bars.
>>148138984
Vampire skilline levels passively in a 1:1 ratio to your normal exp.
Also what that other guy said is wrong, vampire passives activate on certain stages now, no need to slot a vampire skill.
What would you consider the most fun dps magicka build? I'm levelling a Stamblade at the moment but want to try the magicka side. I've heard Magblades are good but would it be too similar to stamblade? What about templars? Not a huge fan of the paladin aesthetic but if they're fun I'll have a go.
>>148140192
magblades are ok. they trade burst and dps of stam for utility and survivability, so you can survive some crazy shit with them that you wouldn't be able to survive on a stamblade while still dealing ok damage.
magplars are pretty fun and currently very strong
>>148127597

Ie; Rorik the Dragonshide for a DK, Ingvar Dawnbreaker for a Templar, Siggi Stormcaller Sorcerer, and so on.

>>148147161
If it's by Trinimarctic (?) tradition then no, it's monogamous relationships. Said traditions also allows other people but the warchief to get married within the clan. Having kids and a property that you can pass on to your kids are one of the reasons people have converted.
So I want to go stam dk, but is there a race I can roll, that if I ever switched to magicka I wouldn't be complete shit?
>>148152584
Nah, if you're a sub, start saving your crownstore jew bux, because next patch you can race change. So that'll be available if you ever completely switch from stam to magick
>>148152584
imperial
>>148153758
Meh, they are kind of mediocre at both compared to the other races which do one thing amazingly.
Why do you guys say that some races are awful compared to others at certain things? Isn't it just a difference of a few percents?
>>148153836
>if I ever switched to magicka I wouldn't be complete shit
>>148136574
>>148137454
I think Todd said something about porting Skyrim to Xbone to learn the devkit before they start making fallout 4.
>>148154009
Yeah and if he rolls imperial, hes just going to be shit at everything. Not complete shit, but definitely shit. Like I said, save your crownbux and just race swap when you switch builds.
>tfw started like 6 different characters in the past few days
why can't I stick with a character?
this is suffering
>>148153939
That can make all the difference, anon, when you add all of those 'few percents' from skills, passives, cp etc together
Of course it's not going to have a huge effect, but it's still there
Can't decide whether to change our stamblade's race to Khajiit or Redguard bros where we at?
They're not nerfing redguard's stamina proc at all, are they?
>>148154545
For pure DPS Khajiit will absolutely dominate with SotH. If you and your group can't resource then redguard might be ok too.
>>148154545
They are nerfing the regen or whichever one it is from every 3 seconds to 5 on redguard. And khajiit are not getting the stamina bonus anymore, like they said in live letter. Made an announcement that they were chucking the idea, because khajiit already dominate stam dps.
If you only PVE go Khajiit, if you do both go Redguard
>>148155221
I'd honestly just say stick to khajiit. Stam management is incredibly easy on NB's and almost non existent in general, so red guard honestly doesn't do a whole lot for you in either pvp or pve.
The weapon crit from khajiit doesn't help a whole lot if at all in pvp, but its pretty huge in pve as nb.
>>148157324
Basically this if you can stand looking like a huge faggot. If not, redguard is the way to go for stamblade.
>want to roll a Redguard after seeing how badass Sai Sahan looked
>you can't have his beard
What a missed oppurtunity.
I'm playing a Stamblade and liking it but I want to try the magicka side of things for a bit. From what I've looked into it seems the magicka class most fitting to me is.. nightblade. Would I miss out on variety if I played the same class as stam/mag?
Not really a fan of paladin/holy spells so Templar is out, and I've heard mixed things about magicka sorc and DK..
ESO made me realise I'm a bit racist, because even though redguards have good passives, I don't want to play one, cause they're black
>>148158261
You can make them look completely white.
>>148158119
No you'd actually have TOO much variety. Magick sorc is balls, and magick dk is only good at pvp right now.
If you want to play a magblade, pick a good race for it and reroll to get a better start. Magblade is super versatile, but not really amazing at anything. Just kind of like a jack of all trades thing.
EXCEPT for nuking zergs. That is what magblades do in pvp, appear out of nowhere and bomb zergs of players.
>>148158261
Their skin colors range from pale white to black. You can be anything from a badass Persian to a Nubian.
Man EP is so much cooler than AD and DC.
The cities look better, dark elves are pretty fucking neato, especially the grills, and the characters are better besides a few exceptions.
DC has a pretty decent high fantasy setting though.
>>148159202
The only downside for EP is King Jorunn. What a goon.
AD's probably my second favourite, and DC third.

Also, do I really gimp myself if I go Nightblade? I tried Dragonknight for a couple of levels and it wasn't very fun.
>>148162329
There's no harm in trying, you might find NB pretty fun if DK wasn't working out.
Yo I'm leveling an altmer templar going pure caster with light armor mages guild maxing mana traits. To play as a into healer late game. What abilities should I have slotted and I'm assuming I go resto staff? I'm working towards having the aedric air spear toss aoe spammable thing that restores Stam, breath of life, but what ulty type do I take and what other abilities? Do i go purifying light or cleansing ritual like wots my go to heal besides breath of life which you wait tillsomeonea halfish hp before using due to mana cost.
>>148162329
Honestly not really.
Mag NBs still rely on inferno staves, and Dunmer have almost the same magicka bonus as Altmer/Breton. As a stam NB though you'd be a bit weaker, but not completely bottom of the pile.

Are there any information about housing available already or are they going to surprise us?
So I read that I can do the storylines of the other factions too, is that correct? How do I do this?
>>148164901
You have to play through the first main story, then you can do "cadwells silver" or gold, where you play the stories of other factions
>>148165051
That's cool I guess, but how does it fit in lore-wise?

It kinda is bs but kinda isn't, can't remember if it was well explained but it probably wasn't
>>148165889
join 5 guilds, log in peak hours, ask in all 5 guild chats if someone on AD can bite
someone will respond, and if not, repeat another later
>>148165889
because pretty much everything burns you alive and the debuff to you hp reg is not something most people want to have.
>>148165660
It's bullshit but you'll believe it.
>>148163016
For me, I tend to use Barrier a lot rather than the Restoring Light ultimate, and when players start losing the replenishing morph I usually have enough ultimate to cast that ultimate anyway. But Barrier is not so quick to get with alliance points from PvP, so the Dawn's Wrath ultimate works well for stunning enemies too. After Breath of Life, the Grand Healing/Springs from Restoration Staff is very useful. I have Extended Ritual for extra healing since I use Efficient Purge too. My style is to lay down circles and Rapid Regeneration, then focus on keeping up Healing Springs and only cast Breath of Life for emergencies, and throw spear shards occasionally.
>>148165660
The explanation was...ok. Just something about you getting different perspectives in the war, and seeing how things might be different if you fell into a different ocean at the start of the game.
>>148161307
He's also the only one voiced by a literal who. Emeric is Bill Nighy, Ayrenn is voiced by fucking Kate Beckinsale. While Jorunn is .. Peter Stormare who's got a pretty limited claim to fame (especially compared to the other two), with the most recognizable things in his past I can think of being Fargo and Jurassic Park. You remember the asshole who got ate by the tiny dinosaurs?
Yeah. That's Jorunn's VA.
>>148166154
What do I use as primary/secondary weapons? Also do I go one bar pure healing and one bar pure DPS or wot? I don't want to sink skill points into skills I won't slot and be suboptimal at level cap.
>>148166383
He's got quite a bit of claim to fame. In the game though he just plays out in a really boring way. It seems like he wasn't directed in a fun or interesting way.
Why the fuck are the NPCs always turning their heads to the right if I talk to them, shit's annoying as fuck.
>>148158692
That sounds pretty fun actually, nuking zergs would be a good change of pace from a ganking stamblade. I thought magicka DK was kind of bottom tier at both pve and pvp though?
Unrelated but I'm also kind of intrigued by the Stam sorc, it seems the most bizarre combination. How does this play? What does it feel like (i.e, some sort of mystic knight? or assassin-type with spells?). Thanks for the replies btw.
From dread daedra save us, from daedra keep us safe.

I know that feel, ESO character models are great but the conversation animations are shit, people don't behave like that in real life, even I can tell that and I'm socially awkard
>>148165248
>They're still going to be the best pve dps, and pvp ganker so there's that.
Bosmer is waaaaaay better for PvP ganking, crit is useless in PvP and Bosmer gonna get dat 6% max stam next patch.
Bosmer is literally a top tier PvP race now, with adrenaline rush nerfed, they might even be better than Redguards.
>>148166852
I use both restoration staffs, but I am actually going for like a "pure" healer (not totally of course since not doing attacks like heavy restoration staff is just gimping your healing and magic). Its not really meant to do tough solo stuff, so if you want to everything you should put more focus on damage than me.
And its not a big problem if you spend skill points on things you don't end up using, because you can reset your skills with the shrines at your alliance's capital.
>Dunmer names
Fuck me. This is even worse than coming up with a Nord name.
Is it worth it just farming delves for heavy sacks?
>>148167801
I play a stam sorc, using bow and 2H sword. I primarily rely on weapon skills, with a few spells like Dark Exchange, Critical Surge, Bound Armor, and Thundering Presence to supplement that.
Personally I like the way it plays, feels like a classic spellsword.

No problem dude. It's been a huge help for me; I always joke about coming up with a name for a character being the hardest part of any MMO.
How much of a difference to the extra hireling levels make? Only have two points to spend right now and am about to need another level in blacksmithing/clothing but I'm willing to forgo those for a bit if the hireling upgrades are worth it.
>>148169750
Thats nothing, I had npc nearly breaking their neck so that didn't have to look me in the face.
DO I DESTROY THE RELIC OR NOT OH MY GOD THIS MMO HAS ACTUAL DECISIONS
>>148170087
What relic do you mean?
>>148170313
The relic on that first orc island in the DC questline. I just want to be with my jolly crew of pirates.
>>148170638
Oh wow, I always skipped that island and did something worthwhile
How is enderall?
>>148170861
Extremely good, even better than Nehrim in some aspects.
>>148170087
Sadly it doesn't really make a difference other than dialogue.
That said fuck the stupid Orc nignogs, they stole that island anyway they don't deserve shit.
>>148170958
Huh? Some of the NPCs say they won't sail with you if you pick the wrong decision.
>>148171164
Yeah but none of that matters later on, it has no effect outside of that story arc.
>>148171164
You stop sailing with them when you reach Daggerfall City anyway. Now, you can talk to them in Wayrest, and Sentinel, and you'll come across Crafty Lerisa in the Gold Coast and she's involved in a quest
and it is interesting to talk to them and they do mention that decision and tell you about the consequences that happened based on that decision.
But it is just dialogue.
>>148171503
>>148171662
Aw too bad, but I appreciate that the game at least holds up the illusion of making worthwile decision. Still better than fucking GW2 or something.
>>148167527
It's a known and persistent bug, it's pretty fucking annoying but nothing you can do. And it's worse on some NPCs.
Like Lamia, who all but turn around in conversation sometimes.
How long does it take to get maximum gear if you're max level?
>>148171817
GW2's choices actually set your personal story along different questlines though, you take on different quests depending on your choices.
>>148171882
She just looks really shy
>>148145097
Bit late, but what do you mean? I've tried googling and searching the official forums and haven't found anything about that.
>>148172046
Maybe for the first 3-4 story missions but about halfway through nothing matters AT ALL. Don't get me started on anything that happened after the vanilla storyline.
>>148170958
I broke the relic, personally. Regardless of what the orcs did it's an artifact anyone can use. It can just as easily be turned on the people who hold it as it can be used to defend them.
Also it's fueled by fucking souls. It's a ball of necromantic horror. It's a ball of nothing good that should ever be used by anyone ever. Letting that continue to exist is how you get horrible spirit plagues, anon. Do you want horrible spirit plagues?

if you back out of the conversation and talk to them again they'll look in the right direction this time.
>>148172239
What I'd really love would be a possibility to go FULL asshole, and not the soft kind with killing people without showing human emotion, where you collect all those evil artifacts and build your own sect with which you defeat molag baller and then terrorize the people of tamriel

>Crown Store
Wow, really. I sure hope that's only for race and name and not looks.
>>148172594
>>148172187
Not that anon but the whole vanilla storyline had at least some branching resulting from choices. You ended up at the same place(s) in the end, but you could at least get different quests out of the deal. Like late in the game there was one where the choices basically were: Naval Conquest! Tanks! or Giant Death Robot!
And hell, almost every step of that final segment had choices like that, choosing how to continue the assault and so on.
Come to think of it, GW2's assault on Orr had more player choice than ESO's assault on Coldharbour, as in the latter all I really recall choosing are who I brought with me.
>>148172594
poor anon...
>>148172187
you continue to make choices throughout the vanilla storyline and they continue to alter what quests you get.
If you're talking specifically about character creation choices, yeah, those only affect the level 10 and level 20 questlines. Level 30 questline you choose which order rep you go with each choice is a choice between 2 different quests. Then you choose an order. that's a choice between 3 different questlines. You do your order questline and I think there's a choice between 2 different quests in each of those (at least Priory I'm sure of not quite as sure on if there's a choice or not for whispers and vigil), then you choose a primitive race to go be an envory to, that's 3 different choices out of 5 possible choices (which 3 are available to you are dependent on your race), that's it's own questline with its own choice between 2 quests at some point. Then you go to Clorr Island, then afterward you go to the Pale Tree's vision of Orr, and you choose your greatest fear, that is picking another questline that happens later, 3 possible questlines.
Yes it all does boil down to the same final quest but the quests up until then you do get to choose which quests you do out of choices.
Now.. once Zhaitan is dead you don't get so much choice. There are choices in HoT but they are branches within the same quest, the only one of consequence is whether you attack the Mordrem or Defend the Treefrog Ewok Village. If you attack the Mordrem Tizlak gives you a "Warbler" item that you don't get if you choose to defend the village.
That warbler goes REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (okay so it doesn't it sounds like a fart, but I mean, it's a horn that frogs use)

Give yourself a Title. That's what Nords do instead of family names most times. Rigurt the Brash was given "the Brash" because the name Rigurt was already taken by some Milk-Drinker.

Crown store sells race changes appearance changes and name changes. Race changes come with a free appearance change included, but if you made your name race appropriate prepare to get double dipped.
They will also sell you a hairstyle pack of all the hairs currently in game, after that you can change your hair at will in game at any time through the collections panel.
Separately there are new hairstyles that are sold at a premium along with new eyelashes for female characters, new horns/spikes for Argonians, new beards, and some new skin/fur/scale patterns.
>>148173854
he spawned literally just as I made that post
>>148173854
What you do for those, is you actually camp the spawnpoint of the boss you don't need, then every 5-10 min or so go check the boss you need's spawnpoint quickly. The bosses don't like to spawn if you're camping their point.
>start a character
>immedietaly get an urge to make a completely different one
I can't be the only one that does this?
First I made a magick DK
then a magick sorcerer
then a stamina nightblade
and now back to a magick DK
>>148174319
I'm the opposite. I've only played one character so far, gotten to about champion level 100, and now I have no idea what to make next.
>>148174319
Once I made a sorcerer char, spent half an hour or so to make him look good but not too generic, but after I created the char I realized that I picked the wrong faction . Afterwards I killed the char and basically ragequitted the game.
So is Dunmer the only good option for making a Nightblade if I don't know whether I wanna go magblade or stamblade? My only other character is a dunmer.
>>148174963
The only one with both a stam and magicka bonus. Though you'll regret Dunmer if you actually go stam.
>>148174319
I'm on my 11th or so character right now. Never made it above lvl 40
>>148175150
Fuck. This is why I hate racial abilities
>>148175239
how many character slots do you have? You could just make both a stam and a mageblade
>>148175407
7 free, but I don't wanna level two of the same class at the moment. Fuck it. I'm just gonna go stam. I hate using staves.
>>148175558
There's only 4 classes. So duplication of classes is okay.
>>148174098
>>148176178
That doesn't make leveling the same class 0-50 twice in a row any less boring.
>>148176592
In a row? I know that I'm a noob but right now I have problems staying awake while leveling a second character to 50 and it's not even the same class...
>>148176592
no more boring than leveling it twice in a row 0-50 with different classes. If you play with one magicka and one stamina they'll be using different weapons, different armor, and have different abilities You can make one a vampire and one a werewolf if you really want to make it all different.
>>148177069
That's fair. I'll probably do it later on down the line
What is better for stamina based damage, twohanded or dual wield?
>>148178503
Depends on class and do you play PvP or PvE?
>>148178678
Currently I'm playing a templar. And I do play pvp from time to time and do some dungeon runs with some friends every day.
So I just started. I was told I need to deconstruct "everything" that I can for crafting.
But then was also told I should be running research at ALL times. How do I decide if I should deconstruct, or research instead on an item?
>>148179012
Research as many Items as you can and if you can stash away those that you will need to research for later if you want to save the money you'll need to buy an item with a trait you need.
>>148179012
I'm not exactly sure. When I was leveling I literally just slapped everything into the deconstruct pile. By the time I hit 50 most of my crafts were around 30 already, one was 37, and it was simple to cap them after that.
>have about 3200 spell damage and 65% spell crit
>biggest single damage skill is crystal fragments when it procs
>crits for about 16k
>watch videos of stam characters shooting their bow for 25k
is magsorc underpowered or am I doing something wrong?
>>148179012
Research stuff that you can, deconstruct the other shit. You're going to have a lot of stuff that you can deconstruct but maybe not research and vice versa.
The research traits are really important to have at end game, so each trait you research is good thing. Especially if you research important shit like precise and sharpened on stuff like axes and daggers.
>>148179012
get this addon -http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info111-ResearchAssistant.html
it adds markers for items that have researchable traits, and that have no traits/known traits
makes it much easier to tell what item you'll want to keep
>>148179012
Research what you can and deconstruct the rest. I regret not researching shit earlier.
>>148179483
Aw fuck, thanks anon. That'll save me a bit of time, and help me figure out what to throw in the bank while other shit is researching.
>>148179610
I have a level 40 crafter with 48 or 49 in all equipment crafts. Still struggling to get even 6 traits in each item.
>>148179380
oh yeah, i don't have molag kena, that's what it is.
>>148179876
Yeah I'm in the same boat. Maxed my equipment crafting a while ago, have more than enough materials to craft stuff, but I still need a few traits.
Started an alt the other day which is proving a good way of getting enchanted stuff - quest rewards and whatnot.
I don't have this game but can someone tell me why not to get it on steam?
>>148179909
magsorc is also the weakest dps in the game in the current patch.
>>148181587
that's kind of shit,
I mean yeah at launch, stam was just trash but since stam has been buffed stam is much better across the board and has been so for years now.
They should balance it out.
>>148181329
because if the rare game allows you to not use steam you should always take it
