NeurosisHead posted:For someone who plays the gently caress out of this game you sure don't seem to like it at all. The idea that he's murdering Orsinium world bosses solo is also kind of loving absurd. They're bosses that typically take 10-30 people to take down. It's why zone chat is filled with people asking for invites. And usually there's a poo poo ton of casualties along the way due to all the AOE attacks they throw around. If he's somehow able to actually take them down solo then it's no wonder he finds the zone and the rest of the game to be boring. He's beaten the game so badly he's broken it over his knee. You'd have to be playing the game a long time to even approach that point. Never mind the sheer amount of sperging about min maxing you'd have to do. Maybe he should treat the game less like a professional job? Third World Reggin posted:So my understanding is that if I don't have the DLC and I go to the pvp zone I can't follow people into the special imperial city pvp area, is that true? Apparently those are customer support personnel. So it isn't going to actually affect development unless they somehow had the call center and tech support staff working on the game. Still kind of a crappy thing to do. Though that's the game development industry I guess. The Imperial City DLC is weird. Especially for being their first DLC expansion. Thing is, it's the sort of thing goons would be good at due to being coordinated in guilds so often. But your average pubbie is going to be poo poo at it. Namely because the zone itself is heavily centered around small group based PVP. This is encouraged by having all of the mobs be balls hard and typically require more than one player to take out. Unfortunately this means that it's nowhere near as populated as Cyrodiil is. Especially if you choose a low population campaign. This isn't that big of a deal though. You really don't want a gank squad wiping out 80 percent of your work when you're trying to get the unique styles and sets it offers. Some of them are swanky as hell.

Trogdos! posted:How's this game for occasional solo PvE-ing? I've been eyeing ESO and kinda want an Elder Scrolls 5.5 game since I'm pretty much done with Skyrim. Are quests interesting or just bear-rear end hauling? I'm not interested in raiding or PvP or anything requiring commitment. It's brilliant for that, if you ask me. After you complete the main quest, you play through the other two factions' storylines. I've seen people refering to it a weak cop out, but I think it's awesome, and it makes the "solo" part of the game huge.

If you like questing in your faction, the other two factions are even better. Plus, you get champion points and more gold, so try not to get altitis until you've knocked out a few veteran ranks on your first toon.

If you can run vet dungeons comfortably, you can solo an Orsinium world boss. Most players aren't going to build for that though. Hell, most players can't grasp the concept of killing the healing mobs in the Imperial City PVE dungeons. Otherwise there wouldn't be one person repeatedly screaming out some variant of the words "KILL THE loving HEALERS YOU DUMB FUCKS" in every other group I join that does those places. Also Wrothgar is awesome. I just discovered that you can get random encounters while I was traveling to another delve today. I had some Orc mercenary come out of nowhere and start screaming insults and poo poo talking me before demanding a duel. Only when I beat him down the fight automatically stopped when he had a sliver of health left as he demanded I finish it. I did. After my vampire fed on him.  Edit: I just had another random encounter where I met some Orc named Batasha that likes to get wasted in the wilderness. I paid her 69 coins and she let me get drunk off of her stuff, which apparently is so potent I now regain stamina faster. After we finished drinking together I stole her pack and stock of drinks before running away. Then I tried to rob a bath house only to get caught and pummeled to death by a bunch of enraged naked orcs and one obese Breton. What i'm saying is that there needs to be more DLC like this.

We're talking about a game where people have solo'd Veteran Dragonstar Arena, the Molag Bal event in IC, and several Trial bosses. Saying that it's absurd to solo Orsinium world bosses is an overreaction. Hell I'm not even running 501 Champion Points and fully upgraded gear, so you can't exactly say that I'm min-maxing everything. Solo-ing them is a matter of learning the mechanics and having some self-sustain in place (Surge heals, Siphoning skills, damage shields). Also the game has its moments, but sometimes the sheer incompetence of the devs can be blatantly on display (taking more than a week to fix a UI issue that a user fixed with a few lines of code in 2 days) and that's what pisses people off.

I think it's not the number of hours in question, but duration. People who have played since the pre beta beta beta have watched all the changes and had time to familiarize themselves with the shifting mechanics, mastered animation cancelling and rotations, completely learned the mechanics of the boss fights/donjons, etc. I have been playing casually for awhile and am still at that stage where I am sure that I will be the jeeenioous who discovers the hidden mechanic that everyone has overlooked (Argonian Templar anyone). I don't know how things really fit together and have no clue about the group fights, am still sorting out the champion point system, etc., etc. Due to reasons I have been like a statue target in PvP able to throw one attack to my opponents six. I mostly just try to look good dying. For me the game is still relatively full of random encounters (many related to Achievements), mysterious dynamics and lots of Again, it is an MMO so everything is broken, unbalanced, changing, catering to audiences that aren't me (I am sure they would change that if they knew who I was!) and progressively buggy, exploitable, gimped, etc., etc., etc. I like the game and am looking forward to getting to play it on my new PC build in the coming months.

I was asking about hours moreso because Scyantific sounds pretty burned out on the game and I was hoping to get a sense of the game's longevity. I mean, do I have a solid 100 hours of fun to look forward to or when do the cracks start to show? I play maybe an hour or two on some days so it's not like I'm burning through content or what have you.

I play an hour or two every few days, and have taken some months off here and there since launch. If you're not the kind of person who has to take everything you dislike as a personal attack and everything that you are inclined to laugh at a little bit as evidence of gross negligence and incompetence it's a fun game with a lot of staying power. And if you are inclined to get worked up at the drop of a hat that's okay too! You'll be able to play literally thousands of hours of this game and complain for all of them because there's so much variety to experiment with.

Guild invite please? @Theralax I just started, and chose AD Altmer Sorc - bad choice? I gather Goons are on EP and that's what I need to be on in order to actually raid etc with other goons? I just finished tutorial so I could easily re-roll if being on EP will greatly enhance my enjoyment...

Therapist posted:Guild invite please? @Theralax EP is definitely the active faction and it is my understanding that while there are plans for cross faction grouping for PVE, that is not implemented at this time. That said, you are probably best off switching to EP. You can be in the guild regardless of faction though for chat purposes.

Therapist posted:Guild invite please? @Theralax Ennuid and Pluto have characters across all 3 factions so you won't be left out that much. Moreso when Zenimax gets off their rear end and implements true cross-faction grouping and doesn't force us to use a terrible LFG tool, then we'll be able to grab you for raids everywhere. But if you've just started and feel like you want to re-roll go ahead. Just make sure to get the Explorer Pack upgrade so you can still roll an Altmer in EP. Alternatively you could not and roll Dunmer Master Race (TM).

If you like the questing part (i.e. you're actually listening to the voice acting), you've got at least 150 hours until you hit endgame.

Argonian Templar is the best. Well at least the coolest and that's all that matters. Might make an Orc Sorcerer because it would be rad. Running my templar has been a joy. I have a healing setup on my second bar, and I can pop into dungeon finder real fast and get going. I'm also like a tier ahead of my enchanting skills being able to make runes 15 levels higher then I am. So during my entire time in Deshann, I haven't found a single level 20 solvent. I'm on my last quests and literally I haven't found anything but level 10 water. In four levels I'm going to need level 30 solvents. What gives? Why can't I find anything? I'm sure as hell not going to buy from these insane guild auction houses. Maybe I need to join a EP PS4 trade guild.

It looks like I've inherited GM of the deconstruction circle jerk crafting guild. I'd like to make it useful, and I'd like to clean up the roster a little bit since there's plenty of names on there that don't use it. I made a form to get info on who is active, link here. I'll probably purge the rolls in a couple of weeks when the people who only log in rarely have had time to see the poll in the MOTD.
