Cross Faction won't be in Update 7. They said that they're wanting to integrate that into the mass fixes for the Grouping system.

So no Stam regen while blocking changes tanking quite a bit. Haven't been able to play much for a couple of weeks and when I could, not on my Templar. The Templar build, which I like a lot, is all based around minimizing blocking cost. Probably doesn't work anymore, huh?

Three months between a new region seems pretty respectable, if they stick to it, I can't imagine they could get it out much faster than that.

Fortunately with 1.6 and the console launch out of the way all they really have left to do is, you know, work on the games content.

Some additional stuff, gotten by hanging out with the dev team after the panel and then joining them for dinner.

-Orsinium will play out like Coldharbour storyline, with your actions as you progress through the zone having an effect throughout the area (the city becomes busier, etc)
-Camel mount will hit the store eventually
-There's a very rare reward from the Imperial City Treasure Vaults: A Xivkyn polymorph that when you use the Heavy Armor version, will make you look almost exactly like one of the many Xivkyn rolling around in the city. Could lead to some interesting PvP strategies

Also, the ESO dev team is pretty cool, and had a kickass time during dinner with them. 10/10 would attend a panel again.

Got this on PC with the GMG sale. Somebody is telling me that argonians are terrible and the racials in this game actually matter. Is that true? Should I pony up for the cross faction or imperial pack things?

Argonians are good healers. Whether you want to chalk up for the cross faction stuff is up to you.

Good on them for working on cross-faction dungeons. It really should have been in place a long time ago, but it's better late than never.

I hope with the dlc expansion there isn't just some giant void in the pvp area that only the selected can go through and exit on the other side.

also why was this not mocked

Along with the Imperial City DLC game pack launch, everyone who owns The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will receive the base-game patch at no cost. The base-game Imperial City patch includes hundreds of fixes and improvements to existing game systems and content including combat, classes and skill lines, the Alliance War, dungeons, and quests.

I also had a question about runes. I'm finding a lot of the square and triangle? ones, but not the circles. Is that just bad luck or are they rarer?

I think it's gotta be random. I've got a ton of triangles and circles, but no squares.

I'm going to assume that the gameplay fixes are free for everyone, but it's just the extra quests, areas, and content that'll be exclusive to the "dlc", right?

Someone pointed that out on their forums and said that the way they worded it seemed like they were seriously considering putting the patch behind a pay wall.

So I'm thinking of picking this up for the PS4 today and I had a question that I believe I know the answer to already. My brother has an Xbox One and he's also interested in playing ESO, I'm going to assume I can't play along with him since I'm on a PS4 right?

Anyone else here playing a Healer Templar? Am I dumb for doing so? Currently specced mostly into Sword/Board and Healing with a bit in whatever the DD line is for soloing.

Played on dungeons last night and went okay. I basically stood there spamming heals while blocking.

because ESO fans are really stupid and if they had not spelled it out people would think that the patch was going to be paid dlc

A lot of people will only run higher end stuff with a Templar healer because they are viewed as the best healers in the game due to all the extra skills and passives they get to play around with. That being said, any content can be cleared by any class of healer. Same goes with tanks.

I'm on Cadwell's Gold and I'm noticing I don't see as many people running around. I'm on PS4, so I figured I'd see more people since the game is relatively new. This is my third dolemn in a row that I basically solo'd. A random dude with perfect timing runs up on the last anchor right before the bosses die each time.

Is that normal? Do people not play through the other quest lines to level veteran ranks or something? It'd be pretty cool if the game let you select a "veteran" version of these zones that all factions could play together on or something.

Also, I've been trying to find M'aiq and he's never where the map says he is (esomap.uesp.net). Does he appear at certain times or something?

Gamestop has the console versions for $40 if you're into that.

Edit: I'm only level 3 and at the Watch or whatever and I'm enjoying it a lot. Haven't done anything except listen in on someones conversation for 30 minutes, and mess around with emotes.

It's a good time so far. Haven't enjoyed an MMO in a long time. I'm not sure if you can add me to the Eb guild yet but my character name is Zaveid (PSN is Darknight630)

Edit 2: Thanks for the invites :3:

Yeah a lot of people don't bother with Silver let alone Gold, and those that do often only do the almanac stuff. I'm a completionist, so I usually find myself spamming in the main city for someone who's in that area, and just knock out all the bosses, dolmens, and public dungeon all in one go.

I just got the game a few weeks ago (hit 49 today) and am loving playing as a healer templar on one bar and one hand+shield on the other. I can get through almost anything solo but for dungeons? It's crazy how much people want my body for them sweet heals. Its a lot of fun to be able to be social in the game and not a pariah class

What's the consensus on splitting crafting skills between alts vs putting everything on one? It seems like I'd want all 3 that use motifs on one, but the bonuses to consumable duration in other skills look nice. Does this game give me enough skill points to do that many crafting skills plus combat skills?

You'll have plenty to work on both, but honestly you're not going to need many skill points for combat. You only need a few attacks, and the rest can go to crafting.
