That sounds about right since ZOSGina mentioned off handedly last week that they'll be talking about DLC after June 9th and Imperial City was the only one she actually named.

I did find it funny that, as diverse as the Ebonheart Pact areas were (2 Morrowind, 2 Skyrim, and 1 Black Marsh) that the DC was basically 3.5 High Rock, 1.5 Hammerfell (Bangkorai was entirely High Rock north of the garrison, entirely Hammerfell south) and no Orc representation apart from that one tutorial area on Betnikh/Betony.

Cyrodiil exp is so good, I think I made like 7 or 8% of a VR level last night just waiting for a delve boss to spawn with eSporks last night. I think I'll just bring up any alts I have on Thorn blade.

Do you just sit in a Delve and murder things, or do you get into the quests in the towns? I was in Cyrodil the other night and saw a ton of quests at a town in the South East but I didn't pick any up due to poopsockers chasing me.

If I buy this on PC, will I be able to transfer it to a console for $20 next month? I read that you had to have registered the game by June of last year or some nonsense to be able to transfer.

Odds are you can transfer, but it costs 70 dollahs or whatever's the standard console pricing. And possible Gold/Plus sub if companies decide to plug those on, but that applies always then.

Haven't played since launch and the game is actually a ton of fun. I doubt you will see me dungeon diving though. I've cornered a lucrative trade in stolen black market "Creepy Monkey Dolls". They apparently sell for 10-20 times the amount a level 10 set of armor sells for. Must be in high demand.

There's four classes that have a different style each, but any one of the classes can play any of the roles in the game effectively. With the Ebonheart guild we don't have any set goals or guidelines for anyone, just play the game as you want as long as you're having fun.

You can just have one character that has enough skill points that you can do all your crafting and still have plenty of points for a combat build or two, though that does take time to get to that point. I would say for researching traits you'll want the character you play the most doing that as juggling crafting alts for doing a bit of everything is a lot of resource management and time.

Ordinator armor pack is in the crown store today, if you are the sort to want to play dress up and go around Deshaan corner clubs whispering to ERPers that you are watching them, scum.

Then use that trophy that makes you throw up on someone.

Also, is anyone a vampire with a bite available? Asking for an alt.

I feel compelled to remind you gamemasters got mad at goons before for harassing RPers, but then I feel curious if they will get mad for harassing ERPers or just say "lalala these things don't exist".

The goon in question got in trouble because he was reported for harassing ERPers and when pleading innocence the GM pulled guildchat transcripts of them.

So that being said it is the official policy to not talk about what RP you wish to pursue in the guild channel. If you want to organize your own RP activities whatever it may be or with whoever it may be it is recommended to do it some other way.

Edit: That or remember to stay in character in the guild channel when letting your friendly goons know of where RP is going down.

The RP'ers get SUPER mad too when you interrupt their playtime. I did get an RP'er to give me some freshly murdered chicken I got them to kill while following them around saying nothing. They wouldn't cook it for me though which was a huge disappointment.

We probably should do a goon inventory of the trophy emotes though, the ones with unlimited uses. I have maybe like fifteen in my bank but don't remember what most of them do.

Meat sack: throw up
Almalexia lamp: kind of a ball of light effect?
Fetish of anger: makes red flames shoot out of you and your screen go red

Think one freezes you in crystal, one summons mummy yokudans, but can't recall others.

Outstanding afternoon. "I've often said there's nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse."

How much for the ordinator pack? Would it be better to buy a month of subscription or just buy the crowns straight up?

Synthwave Crusader
Feb 13, 2011

ESO+ is a good investment if you play consistently and would like a modest bonus to your exp gains. Otherwise just buy enough Crowns to get the pack.

E: Ordinator Pack is 1,000 Crowns.

Does anyone with multiple friends playing this game have a hunch on which console is going to have the most players? I'm really torn. I do not have either console but fully plan to buy one at some point. I have to make the decision now however in order to be able to take advantage of the character copy pre-order (it expires in a few days I believe). I've enjoyed both the Xbox 360 and PS3 in the past, so I'm not really invested in either.

I'm interested in the console copy because the idea of sometimes playing on my couch plus the integrated voice chat sounds fun.

The only one I can't really figure out is tank nightblade. Does anyone have an idea of how this would work? I have a ton of unspent points and wouldn't mind mixing up my build to be able to dual class. I can't really dual class into healing because I am stam based.

The PC console.

Here's my uneducated opinion but its a lot of evasion tanking I think. It is probably one of the more niche builds but doable.
