I'm going to say yes: we have a guild that is active, you can still use a controller on PC if you are more comfortable with that than mouse&keyboard and there are plenty of addons you can use to improve the UI (especially everything related to crafting) that you don't have access to on consoles.

I fired this up again tonight. I have a lvl 22 orc or something. No idea what im doing, no idea what i was doing. So nothing unusual. Ended up just roaming the lands killing stuff

But i did remember why i dropped it. inventory space.... holy gently caress this is limited. I like to craft, but this is pretty crappy.

Is it all just one big server now?

Hope to join you guys in PvP soon.. For post-50 progression do people recommend just saving up your enlightened or do you just keep questing without it?

I would honestly keep going until you get your main to cp160. Going through Caldwell's silver and gold is a great way to score skill points and get exp. When you get to 160 you're eligible to start finding end game gear. You might consider rolling an alt now and starting to train their mount. You can level the alt and let enlightenment build up on your main.

I do both. One thing you can do is start an alt. Enlightenment will build up while you are leveling it to 50.

It's always been a megaserver, though there's an NA one and an EU one. As for inventory space, yeah, it loving blows. When I was first playing through this game I spent most of my gold expanding my bank and bag space. However, subbing now gives you access to the craft bag, which auto stores all of your crafting mats (and it's bottomless).

And now I have all of this empty bank space. :argh:

The devil you say!

Anyone else having a bug where you get stuck if a guard catches you when you have a bounty? My camera gets locked as if I'm in dialogue, but I can't move or talk or do anything, then the guard murders me and when I respawn I'm still stuck and have to relog.

I've seen a couple of build setups to let a Magicka Nightblade tank with some modicum of efficiency. Is any of that practical for a Stamina Nightblade too? I'm not looking to focus on it, but it'd be handy to be able to off-tank for dungeon stuff.

yeah i was reading about that. Not really worth it.
I was pretty bored wandering around but im sure thats because sitting at 80/90 inventory space means i cant do poo poo and go explore. I ended up tossing stuff just to complete quests. And then afked till i got kicked.

I did a few of those demora things. Other players my level are 1 hitting the mobs before i can even get a swing in. woohoo.

Is there any housing?

Housing is speculated to be coming at either the end of the year or early 2017, the "lots" are already in the game and you can walk up to them in various cities but you can't purchase anything yet.

Also, we just did goon runs of both Hel Ra and Aetherian Archive (a goon first!).

Wait, if housing is coming in 2017, what are they putting out this year after One Tamriel? I figure Vvardenfell will be a bombshell E3 announcement. They're going to be doing ESO stuff at Gamescom right?

I tried to kill some ogre with white bears, get him down to 2 maybe 3 hits and a bear spawns from nowhere and always manages to kill me before i get those last hits in :/

The way you usually do magicka nightblade tanking is by taking a dps build and increasing the toughness to your satisfaction. Sap essence, funnel health, and harness magicka are a great foundation for staying alive, but they scale with spell power and max magicka and work best with light armor and magicka cost reduction. That stands at odds with blocking, which costs stamina and works best with heavy armor (including shadow barrier) and stamina/blocking cost reduction. Balancing these priorities is difficult, so you pick gear (e.g. heavy versions of magicka dps gear, or light armor master), glyphs, and champ points to find what works for you.

For stamina nightblade, the quasi-dps option isn't as good, because you don't have as strong of a foundation for self-healing. Your choices are: rally, blood craze, resolving vigor, and bone shield. You can make these work (definitely get resolving vigor from PvP, it's a must for all stamina nightblades), but they use a lot of precious blocking stamina for what they do. This is where other classes have an advantage: DKs for example have a variety of magicka-based skills that scale off health, which takes pressure off of your stamina.

So you're probably stuck doing footman/hist bark-style tanking with stamina nightblade. That's the serious business tanking option (for all classes), and probably not the occasional off-tanking you were looking for. But it will work.

I did some minor theorycrafting and the closest I can even get to a Simon Belmont gimmick is just running a MagDK in PvP with Dawnbreaker of Smiting, tbh. I'll have to get myself some Silks of the Sun gear now :downs:

So like basically every other MagDK running.
