It's £24 on cdkeys a the minute, I'm really tempted. Barring a couple of months playing LOTRO when it came out I haven't played an MMO since star wars galaxies. It it worth playing or wuld I be better of just modding the gently caress out of Skyrim and having another run through?

Just read this and bought the game on cd keys for 34 euros. Bought the regular tamriel unlimited thingy. Redeemed the key and now it says on the eso site have the imperial edition. Yay. Now settling in for the download.

NA patching conplete. Most notable changes are a hefty increase in containers in Dwemer locations and everyone getting a free home campaign change for PvP.

E: Full Patch Notes Original Post Here

quote:

OVERVIEW
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited v2.0.7 is an incremental patch that addresses a number of issues with dismounting, Fear effects dropping you through the world, boosts several Dwemer-area lootable containers, and more. Also note that the Morihaus campaign that was opened for Welcome Back Weekend will be closed in this patch. The size for this patch is approximately 1.4GB with French VO, and 240MB with English or German VO.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
Alliance War
General

Anyone that currently has a campaign will be receiving a free home campaign reassignment.


Art & Animation
Effects

Fixed an issue where monsters spawned from Dark Anchors would not display the proper effects.


Combat & Gameplay
General

Fixed an issue where Fear effects were causing you to fall through the world.
Animations will now play properly when you are forced to dismount.
You will now have the correct animation when you immediately attempt to remount after being forcibly dismounted.
You will no longer be dismounted when trying to mount shortly after sneaking.
Fixed an issue where combat pets would go idle after being hit by an AoE attack, and not respond to any attack or recall commands.
Fixed an issue where you could get stuck in a state where you were moving faster than intended.


Dungeons & Group Content
Veteran Dungeons

Veteran Crypt of Hearts
Mezeluth's Fire Runes will no longer damage player characters that are being levitated by her Fulminating Void ability.


Exploration & Itemization
General

Significantly increased the number of lootable Dwemer containers in a number of locations. All Dwemer locations will now contain an approximately proportional number of containers for their overall size.
Increased Inner Sea Armature containers by 50%
Increased Santaki containers by approximately 50%
Increased Razak's Wheel containers by approximately 125%
Increased Lower Bthanual containers by approximately 300%
Increased Yldzuun containers by approximately 400%


Miscellaneous
General

Fixed a commonly-occurring issue after Update 6 was released, specifically affecting Windows 8, where your game could crash.


UI
General

Fixed an issue where you could not re-enter reticle mode after using “Buy Multiple” at a vendor.


Holy poo poo that French patch size :stare:

At least we're not the Thalmor (yet)
While there's a free campaign change, do we want to decide on a new official Ebonheart Goons campaign? Thornblade seems to be it currently, but the AD seems to have given up on sieges and stuff altogether and just started camping delves and quest hubs, and the DC is pretty weak, I never see them over a single bar. It is great for Skyshards and dolmens, though, but that could easily be settled by just making it a guest campaign.

Problem is, we're going to get the same thing in any other campaign, except one will be an AD clusterfuck and the other a DC one.

And besides, I love my PvE bonuses too much to change campaigns (hello 60% spell crits :getin:)

So I just started and was wondering what faction people are more active in. I only have a level 10 NB on AD so far and ok with swapping to be able to play with others. Only playing on my laptop till I get my parts in for my new PC in. Pretty neat zoning in and having no structure around me and can see all the furniture and npcs in a room before it fills.

Also if I could get an invite to the guild. @Aoasha

Most of us are Ebonheart, with a handful still in DC. Nobody really plays AD (the Nazi faction) here.

I'd rather be on a losing team than a ghost Town. There has to be a balanced campaign though.

The only one that would have *any* semblance of balance would be the Non-VR campaign.

Playing DC, I can say that they are loving worthless on Haderus, but AD and EP seem really evenly matched. DC is just terrible in all of the campaigns, it's super disappointing.

Haven't played an MMO since Rift (you can't count Elite as an MMO...) and am starting up tomorrow - I'm wondering about the EU vs US server thing as I'm based in Ireland.

Is latency much of an issue as I'd prefer to play on US if there is a higher goon population.
Any recommendations?

Synthwave Crusader
Feb 13, 2011

Latency isn't much of an issue. If you're worried about it download the Wykkyd gaming suite and enable the toolbar, which shows you your current ping.

That out of the way, I did a v12 pledge run today for Normal Banished Cells with 2 other v14s and a v1 tank. Tank managed to die only 4 times mainly because he was overwhelmed by mobs.

...it was only after we killed the final boss that he told us that he had just hit VR1 after grinding from 20 to 49 the day before and was still using level 20 gear :stare:

Dude was rocking a full Seducer set at level 20 without any tempering :stare:

It was pretty impressive. Had he told us this before we started the dungeon we would have probably kicked him, or at least gotten him better gear.

do you guys recommend picking up this game when it's available for consoles? (my RL friends play on PS4 mostly). I wanted to try this when it was released last year, but I was put off by the reviews coming out at that time.

AOE grinding is the fastest way to level. You of course miss out on the skill points from the main quest and sky shards though.

Other than the main quests, exp is crap. Random hub quests give less exp than a single mob pack usually.

Ahh. Yeah I just finished 100%ing the first map (stonefalls), I guess moving forward I'll just try to find a group of goons to grind with. I can always come back and get the sky shards and lore books.

With this game being B2P I don't mind giving it a shot. Though I had no idea there were timer things to keep track of, such as feeding your horse and researching stuff. Are these things a lot of people do, or should I not worry so much about it?

Horses are on a 20h timer, so once a day. Researching can take anything as an hour or so to 20+ day timers. Obviously if you log in once a day to update those that'll put you more ahead than not, but if you want to just drop in every now and then to play the storyline/do random stuff its not like you won't be able to enjoy that.

I've played both, and console was much more enjoyable because using a controller feels much better and the base UI is easier to use. There are however, two drawbacks. Console only has voice chat, no text chat, which is terrific for grouping but could be potentially very annoying for guilds. Console also does not have addons, so no robust unit frames or combat data. But at least it will be a level playing field since console players will be on their own console type server.

Grinding is obscenely boring and triggers flashbacks of EverQuest (although it is no comparison). I may consider it for an alt, but for my first character I'm going to walk through the story content. I think I'd kill myself if I rushed to endgame.
