Yeah we were dicking around in IC ganking DC scrubs until they decided they needed to zerg us down with the emperor in their group.

I'm going to wear that as a badge of honor.

The general rule of thumb for armor upgrades post-50 is:

-CP10/VR1
-CP50/VR5
-CP100/VR12
-CP140/VR14

After you hit CR160, you'll want to get weapons ASAP. Legendary level C160 weapons add about 200 more weapon/spell damage and are the only things you really need to start out at max level. After that it's just a matter of running PvE or PvP content to get gear drops (especially jewelry) or farming hundreds of materials for a full C160 set of armor. I tend to do both.

I planned on grinding IC stones for 160 gear during the event. Is that gear a decent alternative to crafting?

Not so much, but you can definitely flip those Tel Var for crafting materials. Rubedo, Ancestor Silk, Rubedite, and Ruby Ash are 50 Tel Var per piece.

Also, I loving hate Ebonheart's late night PVP scene. During the day, they're decent but the minute 9PM PST hits, the other factions just start rolling through everything we took that day. No one groups. No one communicates and they siege castles that are 10 minutes away from spawn.

Is this game worth the full $40 price of entry? I've got some money in my steam account from refunding something and I've been looking for something new to get into. I've played FFXIV for a while, but I'm kind of tired of it and I've been looking for something new to get sucked into. I tried getting back into Guild Wars 2, but just couldn't do it. I think that's mostly the theme of the game, though, Elder Scrolls is more of my style.

I played back in the last few closed betas and the game was garbage then, but I've heard it's much better.

I just started playing a few weeks ago and I've really loved it. I've hit CP60 in the short time I've been playing and the goon guild is very supportive, so I'd recommend it whole heartedly!

One Tamriel's coming up which is supposed to push the game more towards traditional ES style exploration gameplay so it might be worth a shot.

It's a good game. Needs some more TLC but most of the complaints in this thread are from the most min-max players who actually care about things like 'builds' and 'being effective' and 'not dying'.

I'm mostly joking, but one of the great things about ESO is that no matter what there's something for you to do. Dungeons get closest to needing roles but I'm certainly not a very good tank and I help out just fine.

Even in PVP just find a zerg, get some siege equipment, and smash doors. You won't become Emperor that way (it literally only goes to the turbospergiest of the turbospergs, and even then there's been suspicion it's multiple people doing it.), but you can have fun.

Even just sitting in guild chat during a new content release and hearing me sperg about lore is probably fun. Probably. Right?

It's one thing to spend $60 on the gold edition but why would you spend $40 on the version that can be acquired for less than $15 during sales or right now through key sites?

Because it's not on sale right now, that's why I was asking if it was worth $40.

If you asked that question two or three months ago, I would have said yes but the Gold Edition for $20 more? Base game definitely not worth $40 anymore. $20 though? Sure.

Usually depends on when the majority of PvP Crew is on but usually we've been going at it starting at around 8PM Central. Might not do a run today since I'll be out for a bit, but check with the rest of the crew and see if anyone else is up for it.

Granted, I don't want to zerg down the city like these other pubbies do, because it gets awful and boring.

No, stamsorc with a big 2 handed weapon is both amazingly fun and brutally effective. The build rules.

E: there's a specific dual wielding build that is better, but it requires farming two specific one handers and that's ten tons of rear end to do.

No my excitement is genuine, STAMSORCs are cool and good, because we don't have to walk places or worry about piddly stats like Stam Recovery. We get to Blink around and Dark Deal for stamina like God intended.

Dragonknight. Hands-down the definitive tanking class in the game.

Also, anyone who asked for PvP skill-bar advice I'll make a huge effort post in a bit when I get back from errands.

I'd like this too. I think I'm doing ok on my stamblade, but some advice would be nice. I feel like I do 0 dmg, but thats probably because I'm not 160 yet. Once I hit 160, what gear should I be looking at?

I want to reinstall this, but every time I download the 40 gig download it stops at 8 megabytes remaining (claiming 'reliable source serving corrupt data'), and any attempt to repair it just restarts the download over again.

Has anybody come across this problem before? People suggested to use a VPN elsewhere but that didn't work, all I get after that is some file writing error.

Go to the bank. Talk to the banker, there will option that says "guild store" in the list. Once in the guild store, make sure the correct guild is selected to see the store. Then it should be there.

Scyantific's correct in that DKs have the best overall tanking tool set for veteran and hard mode trials. The most difficult raids, essentially. But everything else, including normal mode trials and all veteran dungeons, can be tanked by any class. I tank as both Nightblade and Dragon Knight and find magicka NB more fun, as it's more aggressively active and less of a turtle. I contribute much more to damage and healing, which floats my boat. Tanking NB is pretty much a cheeky DPS in heavy armour and some neat utility. So it depends what you define as 'end game'. If your heart is set on HM Vet trials, go DK. If not, play whichever class has the tool set that sounds more fun.
