The fishing one was pretty easy for me. Aim at one of the fishing spots and just watch your own pole. Took me maybe 10 minutes once I got to the spot? Maybe I just got lucky.
The problems come when you can't see your own pole because there are so many people surrounding you, and when the fishing holes disappear every 10-20 seconds because there's so many people using them. The quests which involve killing things had a similar problem - with so many people around, you had to be standing right on top of where the mobs spawned or you couldn't get a hit in.

The second fishing area that's further away from the wayshrine had significantly less people. The performance quest has been much more frustrating so far.

Any opinions on argonian vs dark elf for tank magblade? I assume the magic based stuff for dark elf wins, but I don't know how much of a difference argonians healing makes

Tbh the part of me that likes fun wants to go argonian but the sperg in me makes me lean towards dark elf

if you want to do anything else beside dps, argonian is better.

Performance at Alcaire has two insanely frustrating factors: only one player may use the kit at a time, and it has internal cooldown. If you can use it, someone else will hit it one second earlier :sassargh:

I found standing away from everyone else works 100% of the time. Like, go stand in the far corner.

My Dunmer sap-tank begs to differ. :colbert:

I forgot why I stopped doing SotH pledges regularly. Then I spent an hour in Veteran Cradle of Shadows and promptly remembered why. Velidreth Hard Mode is 60% mechanics and 40% bullshit RNG.

well my sap tank is a Breton so yeah, but objectively Argonian passives are just nuts for this archetype (SWIM SPEED BABY)

Decided to give this a shot and have been enjoying running around doing quests and such while teamed up with my brother. Paraphrasing here, but whoever said "it's basically an Elder Scrolls game but with the ability to have friends join in" was right on the money. :)

One Tamriel update is great. I wanted to roll Ebonheart to be on the goon side but didn't really like the bleak Dunmer zones and their questlines, got bored and quit. Now I can be on Ebonheart and just go whereever I want to.

Though I'm still just robbing everyone's cabinets and then picking their pockets until I'm run out of town instead of you know, leveling :v:

gently caress the fishing quest, the Behtnik one, AND the mudball one (it didn't tell me not to hit guards, I had a bunch of stolen stuff, it lagged, I got stuck, dead).

If you turn on the option to prevent attacking innocents, it'll stop you from mudballing the guards/NPCs. You can still attack the 3 rulers for the achievement and the named NPCs that are part of the quest. For fishing, get an add-on that tells you when to reel it in, because actually seeing your pole in the mass of players clipping into each other is a pain. The betnik one is just going to suck unless they turn up the spawn rate on that island for the duration of the event (they won't).

Options -> General -> Prevent Attacking Innocents

If you're a vampire and use the Blade of Woe, there's this mod to make sure you always use the blade instead of feeding.

I was pretty underwhelmed by the Khajiit one too and I expected nothing of the Altmer one and it still managed to let me down.

Jumping into the water in Skyrim is a lot of fun tho and dancing is easy. Bonus points for doing every quest as a skeleton

I would love for "Beatnik orc" to be my next character, but I don't think there are the necessary costume parts to pull it off.

I'm level 24 and I'm wondering if it's worth training my crafting skills to make my gear at this point or are drops plenty? I have not trained up any of my crafting yet

Crafting is really good in this game. But all crafted stuff is BOE so you could always get us to make things for you.

But to answer your question, drops are indeed plenty. As of One Tamriel, all content is scaled, so you'll always find current drops no matter where you are. But certain drops drop in certain areas, but that's not something to worry about too much as you level.

I just wanted to publicly recant my previous statement that weapon and armor crafting isn't useful until the late game. I never bothered to tab over at all those mysterious crafting campsites in the middle of nowhere to see that that's where you can craft sets, and the only limiting factor is the number of traits you've researched on any given piece of equipment. Some require as few as two researched traits on a piece of equipment, so I could have been doing this for weeks. :suicide:

As wonderful as goon generosity is, I just filled the bank trying to put in a nordic towel. I removed a dozen or so of the green event recipes, but we really need to clean out some of the junk in there.

If any non-subbed goons want to, go download the Roomba addon from the OP, then run it on the guild bank to stack all the poo poo together. Otherwise I'm gonna hoover all the craft mats into my bag.
