Is it just CP soft cap going up or are they making CP180 gear a thing on PTS?

Just the cp I think, but there is a patch note about undaunted chests scaling correctly, etc.

quote:

Undaunted Chests Improvements
We've improved the rewards from the Undaunted chests! Now, the items you obtain from these chests will always scale all the way up to your current level and Champion Rank. We've also increased the availability of Monster Set Shoulder items in these chests: You will always find a Monster Set Shoulder piece in the Gold chest, often in the Silver chest, and occasionally in the Bronze chest.

Don't do it unless you have stam classes. Haj Mota set is garbage and Velidreth is only useful if you're a Stamina DPS.

More Vvardenfell datamining:



Red is the stuff from DB datamining, all the other stuff is the new locations.

I really hope Vvardenfell is a $40 expansion, because it's the one thing people have been waiting for.

I could use an invite to the guild, @comradebigt. Figure the game will be more fun with more people to play with.

Also, as much as I like killing things fast, I normally end up playing healers towards endgame in MMOs because I'm too lazy to have to work to find a group, but how much variation is there with healers in general? From what outdated info I've seen it seems like Templars are pretty good for it, but can i manage with a Nightblade or Sorcerer?

I can see really specific uses for these. Haj Mota for some sort off off-tank in the wrong armor, perhaps (yes, I will try this with Light). Velidreth, otoh, looks like a really cool stam version of Skoria (kinda sorta) and I will def be trying it on my stam DK. Depends how the thing works, really.

I'm excited as gently caress for some of the updated sets, too. Gonna try Silks of the Sun on my magDK and hope everything gets more burned.

Here are the motifs coming with the Shadows of the Hist update:

-Dark Brotherhood (probably going to be earned like Thieves Guild rewards, doing a perfect Sacrament)
-Minotaur (Probably a Daily Bounty reward from Gold Coast)
-Akatosh (Possibly a Daily Bounty reward from Gold Coast)
-Dro-m'athra (no clue how this will be earned; *maybe* a trial drop?)

Still no word on Yokudan ever coming. Hopefully it comes when Craglorn gets an overhaul.

From the data mining thread:

quote:

Hey everyone,

As some of you know, we don't normally comment on datamined content but we're making an exception to clear up something.

Craft Bags are not going to be sold in the Crown Store. They are strictly an ESO Plus perk. The Craft Bag image that has been datamined is to only accompany the ESO Plus perk.

We've known since around TG that Q3 (this upcoming one) "DLC" wasn't going to be adding any new zones to the game. In retrospect it looks like it's because everything is going to be going towards Vvardenfell which will be bigger than anything they've released before.

Dungeons are cool, though, has anyone in goons ran through them yet? I got PTS downloaded this morning despite saying I wouldn't and only had time to mess around with changing hairs and dying stuff. Found the entrances to dungeons in Shadowfen but that's it.

Oh, also found some of the new player housing buildings.

Yeah, everything in the crown store is overpriced but i think the reasoning is that instead of buying 1500 or so crowns individually, players would find the subscription to be a better deal since you essentially get the 1500 crowns for free each month so it works more like an extra incentive/ loyalty reward.

Do the $16.99 60 day+3000 crown deal. Whatever consumables/cosmetics/expansions you get are totally worth the cash, and you get a ton of other benefits.

Wouldn't it be better to buy the content dlc through the store rather than "renting" it with a sub?

Been a long time since I played. Considering another go.

Someone said earlier that the best strat is to sub, get crowns from subbing, then use those to buy the DLC, and then stop the sub after you own what you want.

Still, without the sub-only crafting bag, your inventory fills up in about 3 seconds if you've got sticky fingers.

If you're starting out now it's probably better to sub, considering the number of DLCs. Other than that, it depends how much you like/want the quality of life stuff the sub gets you. 10% exp/stuff, craft bag, and (next update) dyeing costumes and hats. Buying crowns separately is cheaper if you intend to play for a long time, especially if you buy during one of the (rare) sales. I also like that I dont feel forced to play or unsub.

I have sticky fingers and I swear I'm spending more time managing my inventory than playing the game. I'm still not going to shell out real money for something that goes away once I stop subbing. (But it's so, so tempting)

You don't lose it completely if you unsub, you just can't put any more poo poo into it.

Crafted gear with the training trait. There's several of us who can craft it for you in the guild, on PC at least.

That's true, but the functionality of it, for me at least, is the ability to put massive amounts of poo poo in it.

When consumables are costing 30 cents, I don't mind them, but there are certainly better investments to make on the crown store (until you run out of things)

When there are people in the guild who can easily craft you 200 of a consumable (except potions), then yeah it's kind of a waste.
