For the record, you were instrumental in giving all the vr14 DC goons on tonight a free engine guardian helm.

I can vouch for this.

Many of the dyes show up differently on different gear, for me at least. Honestly I wish that they had a crown item that would go with the explorer back that had a limited mechanic for switching factions. I would switch my DC Templar to EP in a moment. Just didn't know when I started. Don't love any of my EP characters yet, though I have started a Lizard Templar and may just replicate my other build.

There is actually a growing number of DC goons in the EP guild (which is pretty much the only goon guild). Still, if you're deadset of playing a Redguard or Alter or whatever I really gotta recommend the Explorer's Pack so you can play your race of choice and still get to chill on the best alliance with the majority of PC goons. Just my opinion, and I'm usually loathe to spend money on MMO poo poo.

But you if do decide to roll DC we'll still set you up with wicked awesome gear or w/e.

If you're playing, then they already have your money. Might as well buy it, they've already won.

I think they forgot to apply the shininess shader to the engine guardian pieces, so they're always just enough different to be irritating. This might be my problem and not the game's.

The game's handling of dyes is really awkward. Instead of completely dyeing something one color, it keeps some shade of its original color underneath in many cases. Barbaric cloth in blue or purple looks like someone threw up grape juice on it, just an ugly blue splatter on a brown backdrop. Yet if I tint the drat thing bright yellow or green I don't see the brown at all :shrug:

This is made worse with the non-rare dyes, which have a generally more subtle/washed out palette.

Is it worth keeping set items picked up at a low level? For example keeping a level 20 warlock piece, will spending upgrade materials on it make the equipment still valuable come level 30 and beyond?

Short answer, no.
Longer answer, keeping items of a set can be useful if you want to make an alt so that he can use those items later on, but don't bother upgrading them even if you do: keep your upgrade materials for later.

It looked like there were a few active DC goons, and I would like to play with my friend -- who is on DC now, and goons - rather than getting stuck with some random guild or trying to go it alone. Unfortunately, my friend is in an "elite guild for beta players only" or something stupid. I have the Imperial Edition that I bought when he was hyping the game in beta. Then THINGS HAPPENED, he quit and we never played.

What's the odds that he'll soon quit again?

Not as likely I guess? He's been playing for a while now. I guess he didn't like a lot of things that happened during the beta/release time but likes it a lot more now and has been playing for a few months. I don't know that I've ever had to justify my request to join a goon guild this much before... :confuoot:

is there a hope in hell of this game ever getting a name change feature? i'm not familiar with how stuff usually goes with megaservers, or mmo's in general, but i can imagine some kind of infrastructure thing where stuff like the character name is assumed invariant and it all has to be re-propagated out to mirrors and stuff in a costly way if changed, or something. does anyone know anything about this poo poo?

To my knowledge, ESO doesn't have a name change feature, but I don't see why they couldn't do it. Other MMOs do.

Invites rolled out.


gently caress pubs. I roll up as a v10 tank who's 3-manned DSA and other high level PvE content with Ennu and Pluto and I get ignored by all the assholes looking for a tank because HURR NEED V12+ TANK PLZ. Swap over to my sorcerer and say V14 Tank LFG gold key and suddenly I'm the hottest poo poo in town with invites coming from every direction.

It's almost as if people are scared of taking a chance on a V10 tank because they won't be able to keep up.

If anybody says they won't group with you on a gold key because you're a particular race/class/level combination, it's because they are terrible.

And this was vet Fungal Grotto. Just having someone in heavy armor makes Gamyne's beam easier, and tanking Spawn of Mephala is a roll-dodge check instead of an equipment check. The bar for a tank should have been extremely low.
