I'm just randomly playing and a dolmen popped and literally, like 100 people zoned in and went for it. So this is probably the best time to play the game if you want easy leveling. Tons of people playing.

Working on some guild quests that I hadn't finished last time I played. Finally got fighters high enough to compete. Those were cool. Psijic is terrible. I like the scrying minigame as a change of pace, but "find 9" quests are so bad. I'm at least breaking it up by hitting up any skyshards and delves nearby. Also realized I only did up to rank four DB. It's spree time!

Barreft posted:Also I'm bored, so I want to do the guild bank thing. 1. Create account, confirm account, log in, create character, close. Repeat X9 2. Go to your main account, create guild. Send invites to your 9 accounts. 3. Log in to each of the 9 accounts again, accept the guild invite. Congrats, you now have a 500 slot guild bank. You need to create the characters before you can send the guild invite. You don't need to actually do the tutorial. You obviously need 9 email addresses to do this, you can use the . trick in gmail so that anonymous@gmail.com and an.ony.mous@gmail.com both work but ESO sees them as different. Or make new emails, or some combo of both. You can't do this in steam, but the steam install works as a stand alone client, so you don't need to redownload anything. It'll be in Steam\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client ESO64.exe You don't even need to close steam to do this. If your computer is powerful enough you can even have your main account running and logged in, while doing it, running two instances of the client, saving you a few minutes by weaving the steps so you can do create, send invite, close and not have to log in to each account twice. Everyone is allowed 5 guilds, so you could also team up with 4 other people, each make 2 alt accounts and have them all join your guilds. Or do all the work and give four other people who are less willing to waste 20 minutes a free guild bank. Peaceful Anarchy fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Aug 23, 2021 |

The Map Pins Mod will at least put the time rifts on your map, which helps a bit. It's still a pain, but less trying to squint at the little maps they give you.

Seem like an unnecessary risk of getting your guild bank frozen when they leave. And I'm not sure it's quicker, either; most people won't accept and finding lowbies probably takes some time even in the starter zones. Oh, it freezes the bank if roster drops below the threshold? bah.

So does DPS really jump with just changing out one set? I'm not overly concerned - I don't plan on raiding, mostly just normal dungeons, maybe some vet dungeons later. Right now on the atronarch dummy I was at like 25k dps, maybe spikes up to 30k (and probably sustainable at that if I was better at pressing botans). I see people talking about 50k, 60k, 70k....and that's a heck of a jump. "One person on the internet" was saying 50k with basically my ability loadout, but Medusa jewelry instead of Willpower, and Medusa + Maelstrom weapon for back bar instead of just 2x Julianos that I'm using for now. Oh and the 2p monster set, I only have shoulders atm. My plan is to start farming Medusa stuff soon, complete my monster set, etc - but do those things really double+ your dps? I actually already have Divines on all but like 2 pieces (been keeping an eye out for deals and snagging them), but "one (different) person on the internet" said that Divines is like, a 2% dps upgrade anyways, for a full set. My stuff mostly isn't epic'd either, but that increase seems even more minor. I'm sure CP plays into it as well (I'm at like 330). I can't really get a handle on how gear scales in this game. It's very unique.

To all the orcs on this island going "you're not an orc you wouldn't understand" I'm going to just assume that my character won't take off her helmet no matter what so they can't tell she's an orc too.

... wait. Wait. The game pushed me from the tutorial zone out to Stros M'Kai, which led me right into a questline with the ship lady - Jakarn and co in various adventures. So we go to orc island and then to Daggerfall and the main quest grabs me and dumps me into hell (and takes my soul), and that dumps me back into Stros M'Kai... ....why doesn't the tutorial drop me in Daggerfall first? That would have had a much more natural quest progression, and it explains why the crew thought I had no soul. Also now I have another main quest, apparently I had a vision from the Prophet and need to go somewhere. Except I haven't had any visions! I'm enjoying the game but this is very weird!

Even then a lot of it will come from passives and quality of equipment, which really matters quite a bit.

The funniest time warp was when I subscribed after playing for a bit. Good times meeting up with Tharn and Lyris in Davon’s Watch while they were supposedly imprisoned in Oblivion. Also talking to that Tharn starts some sort of dlc that pauses the main quest. Had to abandon the quest, at which point he teleported downstairs and changed clothing so he could give me a different quest.

kirbysuperstar posted:https://eso-skillbook.com/skill/twin-blade-and-blunt The only difference is via passives. Like the above for dual wielding, and only applies while dual wielding. And a similar passive for 2handers (called heavy weapons iirc) that likewise only works for 2handers. If you're using 1h+s, there is no difference between types of 1h, they will all have the same stats. And with outfits its all cosmetic anyway. So if the set you're grinding for only dropped an axe or mace you're still good.

Is there anywhere that more specifically lays out how to get away with stealing and murder (blade of woe)? My google-fu hasn't been helpful. Just vague "don't get caught", etc. I'm wondering things like: - Do normal NPCs vs Guards have different "we notice you" range? - How big is that range? (aside from the passive that lowers it) - How much does line of sight play into this? I know NPCs see you on the side pretty easily. - Are there differences in "detection" for normal stealing (just chests, drawers, etc) vs murders (with blade of woe)? I've been doing my murder sprees by being extremely careful, but it can be really time consuming. I have a bunch of stolen crap on me (sheep farm) to work on legerdemain, so I'm trying to not get busted right now, so I've been playing extremely carefully. And I get that sometimes it's buggy, and like NPCs will notice you through a floor, but that aside.

I’m probably on my 5th attempt to get into this game and hoping I can stick it out. There’s so much I like about it but the things I don’t are bad enough to cause me to bounce off every time. One is how slow leveling and unrewarding leveling is outside of your daily dungeons. Many times you can spend 30 minutes doing a quest with several steps and get like 5% of a level for it. It feels awful even if the story was cool. I wish they’d redistribute the xp a bit away from daily pvp/dungeon to all activities to it is less feast or famine. Being max level isn’t essential to enjoy the game but it does open up more doors for things to do every day and adds variety, so it feels like a waste to not be level 50. Another is a common one but the combat suffers from being very monotone. It’s not the light attack weaving, but the fact that nothing you ever do feels impactful or good to press a button because it’s a dot, buff, or a delayed reaction like subterranean assault. Like why do they seem incapable of creating a skill that feels good to press? Spammables feel ok but by nature can not feel impactful or exciting to press if you’re spamming them. Some ults and executes do feel somewhat exciting, to the game’s credit, but I wish they’d break down and add cooldowns to some skills or something so they could beef things up a bit. I know they probably will not change these things but I felt like sharing my gripes anyway.

I can't decide if I want to be a DPS or a healer so I'm being both. If this is wrong too bad I'll make a better character next time. (I love casting that heal spell as I run around hitting things!) e: Does anything remove or lift the quest cap? I love running around grabbing quests randomly and having just 25 max is kinda bumming me out. I mean I'm going and doing them now but c'mooon.

I liked running into M'aiq the Liar wandering stonefalls. I think I found a vampire quest line that takes me to a Breton zone. Each zone really has a unique charm to it. The rift didn't really feel mountainous as wherever I logged out at. Sucks you can't climb the throat of the world yet. With the average size of an expansion, maybe 5 left to fill out the world map maybe?

Check out the Dressing Room addon, here's the current version: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info2138-DressingRoomforStonethorn.html. It'll let you easily swap gear and action bars. (it's kind of confusing if you just search for Dressing Room on Minion to know what to install, but it's that one) Regarding quest cap - man that was killing me too, but I learned to just let it go. Decide on what you're going to do (say like main quest + a certain zone). Abandon all the rest. Esp all those prologue ones. You can always pick them back up again. Install the "Quest Map" addon (and it's dependencies!), and you can always find whatever you're missing.
