So I got scared off of this after the pretty awful response it got around release. It sounds a bit like it's gotten better so I was giving it another look. Does this have a good amount of lore stuff and random things to find like the core series games have had? I assume a lot of stuff is lost in translation to an MMO but it's not clear to me how much.

My interest in this game is nearly 100% about Cryodil but a decent solo leveling experience is also important.

How have those aspects shaped up since release?

Stable to increase, one space per day for 250g up to a maximum of 60. It's just added to your personal inventory number.

I just started the game, I have three characters right now that I have done solo grinding on and pure pvp. I'm probably doing something dumb, but I just follow grinding spots for my pve and just smash man's for pvp

I don't have a leveling build as I started it after like vr3 but I can lay out my bars roughly (phone posting not at home currently) and so the names will be general because I don't remember them off the top of my head

First bar sword and shield

Magicka morph of the flame strike ability
Flame whip
DoT morph of talons for locking down groups
The charge shield bash ability
Reflective scales to reflect back four projectiles

Second bar flame staff

Destructive reach for long range KB
Degeneration from mages guild for dot and heal over time
Dragons blood (coagulating for higher healing rates)
Igneous shards for damage shield plus more healing received
Harness magicka (or whatever the absorb magicka light armor ability morph is) for a big spell shield that absorbs magicka to keep your resources up

Ultimate can go either way, I prefer the dragon leap as it self heals and causes aoe KB and close distances. I have the cost reduction morph but the damage shield version is still cheap. I use a PvP s+s and necklace set that reduces ult cost by 10% so its up constantly.

Depending how sturdy your gear is your options are either five light and two "large" heavy pieces or five heavy two light. For pve this build works well too, use five light and two heavy for that. You can also do two sets of sword and shield to keep the damage mitigation constantly while switching to your buff bar, but I like a staff to have range options.

I appreciate your help, I'm nearly lvl 30 so I will start working on it now and I will send you a message about that armor, how much will it be?

PvP is still a hot loving mess because everyone rolls AD and EP, and AD has more tryhards and min-maxing spergs which means AD owns every single campaign in PvP, and have demolished our own "buff server" just to poo poo on the people who ignore PvP. Not to mention that getting Emperor means sitting in a circlejerk all day dealing with high-school level popularity contests.

There's fun in murdering AD zergs with siege weapons, ask berke. But for the most part PvP is stil pretty bad.

Solo content is pretty drat good now, barring the boring VR grind (you can get to v14 in a month from starting a character if you grind it out).

Just collect the amount of mats you need and send them to me and I'll take care of the rest. I can make any of the six trait crafted sets but if you are not sure what you want there I'll just pick some for you.

edit: This offer is up to anyone starting out too, just mail me in-game @hberke and I'll set you up with some training gear to make leveling those skill lines quicker.

All non-VR characters get a boost in PvP to get them up to par with VR toons. Probably explains why.

Also they were probably kitted out in good crafted gear.

Not his plane of Oblivion but he pops up at least once or twice in each Alliance storyline and his quests are usually some hosed up thing.

I just soloed the vr12 delve boss north of Farragut with my level 10 Templar in the vet-campaign Thornblade.

Also tanked a VR4 DK until a level 24 sorcerer rode by and helped me finish them off.

Correction. Every non-VR character is boosted. They still have the hosed up system where a level 49 is significantly stronger than a VR1.

At level 49 I had something like 24k/18k/18k for stats in cyrodil. At VR7, I have 19k/18k/10k because this game is dumb has poor design choices.

So is this game, uh, good? How does it compare to other MMOs out there? I was thinking of getting it for ps4 and those that commented in the general thread gave it poor reviews. Raiding/whatever passes for it would probably be the main draw for me. PvE over PvP.

EP is the most active with 200ish members and were slowly getting more active in PvP now that we have more VRs and Thornblade is competitive. There's a handful of DC largely from launch, and almost no one doing AD outside of maybe alts.

So, after playing "Undaunted Gold Key Roulette" for the last month, I finally got the shoulder piece to the Bogdan set, and in Light Armor too. Good set for healing, even if it's somewhat ugly.



Then there's this Engine Guardian set which is a good all-around set. Both pieces in Medium.

Has anyone got any fun recommendations for what to do skills-wise for levelling a templar? Going with sword and board plus a skill or two from aedric spear and I'm doing fine, but it'd be nice to change it up, plus I have no idea what to do with my other actionbar beyond some oh poo poo buttons.

Also, can I get an invite to the EP guild for @Samunwise?

Try straight healer. On top of always being able to find work as a healer for groups, the goon guild could use another healer.

Also, invite will be sent out after maintenance is complete.
