I know a ton of people have replied already but let me really sell you on the Explorer's, Adventurer's, Whatever-It's-Called Pack.

It's the single best non-DLC thing this game has to offer. Period.

When you really wanna work with a specific race (gratz on Bosmer, they're getting a buff in a week or so) but hang out with cool people like me who will dedicate lots of time and effort to helping you enjoy this game to the fullest (no really, myself, ennuid, naktl and a few others will tell/give/craft you whatever you need because we are the nicest megadorks ever about this game) then you really need to roll an Ebonheart Pact toon.

Questing and PvP are a huge part of this. Anything dungeon-related works regardless of faction but, thing is, that comes later and not when you're band new to this game. When you need help at level 14 or whatever we can just show up and do what you need. Also, you WILL eventually get curious about PvP and you'll wanna be with goons for that. Also, just do it.

Welcome to the party, yo!

This sounds good. You sold me on it! Going to buy one of those packs now.

Well I named my Argonian Collects-Various-Things because Sav took Many and I never thought I'd live to see craft bags become a thing.

So now it's either going to be Collects-Elven-Skulls, Collects-Enemy-Skulls, or Shields-With-Sunlight.

Nah his parents didn't name him that, he's been the town drunk so long, he forgot his own name, so people just started calling him that.

Just name yourself something subtly offensive and wait for the proper name to come to you. Then proceed to interrupt any roleplay guild and within the day you should get your free name change!

Appearance change price is ok. The rest... time to level a second character after all.
But drat the sunk cost fallacy, I might end up buying that complete package anyway ("Huge savings", hah).

How does appearance/race change work anyway?

quote:

When you click a token to use it, you'll be taken to the Style Parlor to make any desired adjustments. If you change your mind, or want to re-visit the Style Parlor at a later time, just click the Back button; your token will never be consumed until you confirm all changes.
Can you play a game for a bit, try a character in different lightning and then do some further adjustments? I guess not.

EDIT: too bad, I like how BDO allows you to change an appearance for a MONTH and it still costs you only 10 dollars/euros.

I hereby declare that all Goon PVP shenanigans will now occur on Azura's Star, because it's actually fun and not an "I'm a bigger maths sperg than you" contest.

Yeh, I am planning on maybe even moving all my home campaigns to Azuras. One of the things I think might be possible is that the shift between pvp and PvE builds might be easier since Azuras requires more sustain in the build. I think at least two of my builds might work pretty well close to as they are now. For instance I think my magplar currently runs 5 transmutation, 5 Kags, monster helm to taste.

I just switched StamSorKat to bow and 2h though so he can't really run the 5pc/5pc/2pc thing. Can't remember exactly what he is wearing, but has skirmishers, Hundings, Tava's and blood spawn.

I'll work on this later today.

Sup Lads
Spent 2~ hours in White-Gold Tower because a pug tank and dps couldn't figure out the 2nd to last boss. We legitimately had a 516 CP Tank and 300 CP Stamblade who were just loving befuddled by the mere idea of the pinion. No amount of explanations prepared them for the fact that the boss didn't have real aggro. 10 or so attempts later and while we finally muddled through that part because the Healer was a beast and just started pulling a trifecta of dps/tank/heals; but the group would still wipe every time the both of them got the debuff that makes you able to kill portals because neither of them could figure that out either.

And I get it WGT is kinda tough, and I feel like an elitist poo poo for complaining because I'm playing as a scrubsorc in half level 48 gear dealing no dmg... but god drat has the ESO leveling process failed some players. Like I genuinely felt for them because they were pretty polite and the entire group was being (mostly) helpful, but it must suck to have played long enough to get 300+ CP and still have groups kick you out of normals because you just haven't quite reached that level yet.

Totally get where you're coming from because as I read your post I started thinking and realized that, outside of vet dungeons and a few norms, there aren't really any fights in the game that have mechanics to that degree. Most can be cheesed. Can't really cheese Inhibitor on Vet.

Just throwing that out there. Would be nice to have more low-level fights that actually had serious "mechanics".

When you feel the urge to play for a while, I'd just pick up a one-month sub. You get crowns, all the DLCs while subbed, and most importantly, the crafting bag (which is still nice after you stop subbing, you just can't add stuff to it anymore).

O brain new world, that has such ganglia in't!
So I just ran across a bunch of RPers emoting in long paragraphs annoyingly right next to a teleport point I had logged out near. I ran through their group on a mount and did a couple random emotes, and (as might be expected) they got kind of annoyed. Their angry whispers strongly asserted that if they reported me en mass, I'd get banned. Is this something I need to pay actual attention to in the future in this game?

That is super dumb and is mostly a sign that Zenimax needs to add custom chat channels so the RPers' sophomoric garbage prose won't pop up in my general chat. Particularly since there isn't anything in the EULA or TOS to support that sort of thing.

Yep, eSporks, Mono, and myself all got warnings about a year ago as well for loving with an RP group. If anyone reports that kind of stuff, Zenimax moderation WILL go through guild chat logs to verify.
