You can't kill me, I quit!

Excerpts from Patch Notes 2.2.10 posted:

  • Fixed an issue where the Normal versions of the bosses in White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison would occasionally grant less loot than intended when killed.
  • Camouflaged Hunter: Continued to fix additional issues where this ability could proc multiple times when hitting with a dual wield heavy attack. We will have this fully addressed in a future patch.
  • Combat events that do not involve the player no longer have source unit IDs.

That was a fast fix on spying on your group members' dps. Glad to see a lack of "inspect player"-type shenanigans was a design choice and not just laziness.

Dear Zenimax,

Stop loving locking skyshards behind areas where you have to do a quest to access them.

Sincerely,
Everyone who has done more than one character and finds your quests boring.

Example? I've yet to find a skyshard like that.

Just tried the EU server and overload is working again. Let the hate flow through you, etc. Can't say whether or not it works any better wrt stopping your bar abilities working if you spam light attack too much
Also daedric curse seems not to cause desyncing like it used to. I haven't tried summoned daedra (i was playing on my summoner last night and it's a pain in the loving arse because your abilities and heavy attacks randomly stop working if your clannfear targets the same enemy as you)

There is at least two or three that jump to mind, I remember the last skyshard in Reapers March is out of reach until you do the entire storyline quests for the area because its in some area where the door only unlocks once you've initiated the quest.

There's another one in the first area for AD that you can only get to once you start a quest as its in a house that's locked until you start the quest.

There's also the one in that cold place in the Rift where you have to stay near the fires or die in 3 seconds, whatever its called. Won't let you go through the cave until you do the quest, and you can't come in backwards because its a cliff on the other side. Plus the area damage crap is just super annoying.

Any time you want after v1. Just go to your faction's capital city, look for the cart, and enter it. It'll be a bit north of the wayshrine in EP, far north of the wayshrine in DC, and just outside to the east in AD.

When you get to Belkarth, fight the bees just past the north exit. If it doesn't go well, you'll need to work on your build or come back at a higher level. Also, you might want to find a group: two of the quests require other people.

The Rift: Forelhost has the shard locked behind a tedious quest (see a few posts above)

Rivenspire: Northpoint shard is locked behind the main quest and can only be retrieved when you're asked to liberate Northpoint.

Auridon: Silsailen's shard is partially quest locked. As I found out Sunday night there's a hidden entrance to the manor through the beach but I'm not sure if you can access it without the quest.

Reaper's March: The Dune shard is quest locked. You have to completely liberate the city there to access it. Doing so also clears what is possibly the best non-DLC grindspot for v7-v13 in the veteran EP zones.

Then there's also the 2 shards that are locked behind each faction's scroll gates but that's a completely different beast. Also it's PvP so just find a campaign that your faction dominates and have at it (easy if you're an AD dweeb since they faceroll every campaign daily; near-impossible if you're EP master race since DC and AD like to team up and poo poo all over EP if they even show a bit of effort in trying to actually PvP).

Apparently, they moved the skyshard in Reaper's March down from the balcony of the Dune Mage's Guild to the hill right next to it.

Huh, I never knew about these. I typically clear the map of skyshards once I clear that area's questline, so I guess I just never noticed. Don't have an issue with the PvP ones, though. Bananas and blueberries like to team up on PS4, too, but they still get their asses smeared.

Details on Thieves' Guild

Yay more dull and boring solo content. At least let the heists be a group thing.

However I do like that were getting Alliance crafting styles. The Ebonheart stuff looks pretty cool. No word on Yokudan style though.

I'm also very curious to know what *exactly* Lambert and co learned from Trials and Imperial City dungeons. My guess is that they learned that people don't want pure tanks in groups so they will proceed to gently caress tanks even more.

You're a fucking cocksucker, Jonathan
Not sure if this is the best place to ask this, and if there's a better place please let me know.

I've been having some trouble getting into the quests of ESO since they seem to be very lore/dialogue heavy and you don't typically get your xp until after a full questline which is frustrating. I really want to get into the game more though and I think if I was more familiar with Elder Scrolls lore I'd be a lot more interested and invested in the quest structure and design of the game.

So my question is this: Is there any good "go to" resource for Elder Scrolls lore that is easy to follow and has some form of reading order? I'm sure I could browse a wiki somewhere but I'm looking for something that reads more like a history book or a novel but is as comprehensive as possible.

Thanks for any suggestions!

the "ur-text" is pocket guide to the empire (which came with redguard and is set around the end of the second era), but the games don't actually follow what it says a lot of the time, most notably in that cyrodiil isn't jungle in oblivion or eso.
imperial library and uesp are both good sites for elder scrolls lore, and r/teslore on reddit is good for arguing about the walkabout and the dreamsleeve and shezarrines and that kind of poo poo
also there is the provisional house, michal kirkbride's girlfriend's tumblr, which is pretty good
