The shadow mundus stone is broken. I need to do more testing, but I think its just not getting buffed from divines like it should. Doesn't surprise me because the steed was broken this same way for a while.

My crits hit for substantially more with the warrior mundus than the shadow one. With a full set of divine, shadow was giving me less than 1% bonus crit damage.

almost every mundus was broken at the start

at least some work now

As someone who used to play the gently caress out of wow back in the day, has since grown to generally dislike MMOs, loves TES, but played the beta and was unimpressed, is this worth trying? Or is it basically more of the same (and/or grindy as gently caress)?

Free weekend for ex-beta testers so definitely worth trying out. I really enjoy it, it is a decent mix of MMO and elder scrolls style game, doesn't really excel at either. So if you are looking for a WoW style game or a Skyrim style game you are going to be disappointed, but as a hybrid it is pretty fun. It can get grindy once you get into the veteran levels, which they plan on removing eventually and just relying on Champion point system (think Paragon levels in Diablo3). The main grind in the Veteran Levels is you have to 100% every questing zone in the game for all three factions so kinda hurts alt replay value, that said if you prefer playing only one character it is nice since you can explore all the content.

I have started about five characters so far, just figuring out which I like the best. The one character I got to level 12 was the wrong race compared to most others in the guild. Not sure whether to roll DC or EP, since the guild seems split, but when my other half started the trial yesterday it looked like EP had more people. I rolled another character in the EP race, but at least now I have decided that I really like the sorcerer style. Now just to stick to one thing and get to a higher level.

Being on both of the DC and EP guilds, I'd say there's more EP people if playing with others is what you want. If it's just chat and trade though your guild memberships are account wide, and you can be in 5 guilds at the same time. I'm in both the Goon guilds, our deconstruction crafting guild, and two different trade guilds with active guild stores and 400 some odd relatively active members. So I can give things to goons, sell things to pubs, and find whatever I want (mostly) in the guild store at the bank instead of wandering Tamriel til I find it in the wild.

Thanks for the info. I like the EP starting area the best. I guess I'll stick with it for now. I am very quiet in chat, but do read chat and might want to party up with people from time to time, so EP sounds like a good choice.

Yeah, since B2P the primary goon group is Ebonheart, but there are still a few Daggerfall guys. And guilds are cross faction so you can chat no matter who you're playing.

Also, there is barely a distinction between Ebonheart Goons and Daggerfall Goons anymore, virtually everyone active is in both apart from two or three folks who are only in one. Ebonheart is the big chat faction, so make sure you're in it if you want to talk.

There is the one really important distinction that you can't group cross faction for PVP if that's what you're looking for. I'm not sure if you can't group cross faction for PVE, but I'm willing to bet that you can't. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though, if anyone knows better.

Yeah if all you are looking for is a chat room then being any faction would be fine, if you are wanting to group up with goons to do group content then you are probably better off on Ebonheart as that is the most populated faction with a few still on Daggerfall as far as the Goon guild goes.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Thieves guild is in and really fun. It's just skyrim without save scumming. Thieves guild doesn't have any quests or story though, its jsut stealing poo poo and selling it.
You can join all the guilds.

The thieves guild is a world set not a guild set so expect no skills and only passives.

People kept calling it a guild so I went looking for a guild master so I could join the place only to learn that people are lazy and calling it a guild. There is no master, just go steal. You only go down to the thieves area to fence stolen goods or talk to player merchants.

I think that they plan on adding a TG storyline like the FG/MG that are already in game, but right now there is thieving.

Also they plan on adding in the Dark Brotherhood.

Current speculation is that thieves guild (as in, thieves guild motif, combat abilities, quest line) will be introduced with this DLC:

What's currently in the game are Outlaw Refuges which, while possibly staffed by some members of the thieves guild, aren't joinable in the same way the Fighters Guild and Mages guild are.

I have a question about skill points.

Most guides I've read (nightblade) only mention taking, leveling, and morphing the class skills and haven't mentioned anything about the weapon skills. I put two points into dual wield skills early, but it seems like I'm only going to use class skills..

Have I wasted those points by putting them in dual wield (twin slashes and flurry)?
If so, is it worth the long trip to respec now, before the cost goes way up?

If you plan on sticking around, you'll be swimming in skill points by the time you're in the veteran ranks.

Ebonheart Pact mostly and unless you are going for group dungeons or pvp excursions which inherently need coordination with people who are maybe already asleep there's nothing time-limited.

You can transfer your PC to Console, or Console to PC for free if you qualify right now, or 20$ at a later date. The accounts stay separate, so you can't share the progress from PC to Xbone and back. It just clones your account. Plus you don't have to pay full price for the game on console. Its free or $20 for a Digital Edition!



quote:

Does the Console Transfer Offer move my PC / Mac account and associated characters permanently to the designated console version?

No. This offer will simply take an exact copy of your PC / Mac account and replicate it. From the point of the transfer, the original PC / Mac account will remain 'as is', whilst the new console account will be 100 percent separate. Progress made on one account will not affect the progress made on the other account.


Sweet jesus I really really don't want to relevel a templar on EP but... Holy gently caress DC sucks so bad in Cyrodil!!
