So I'm a little frustrated. I bought the full expansion thinking that I would be able to play the base game right away to get used to it with the expansion content opening up in June. But no, I can't play anything or even install the game. Oh well, guess I just have to wait a few weeks.

Focusing on Steam, the way they handled pre-orders on Steam is loving dumb. Steam doesn't allow refunds after two hours of play (applies to pre-order bonuses) and method of payment is charged immediately so I have no idea why they didn't just grant pre-orders immediate access.

So I heard there is a big patch here on the 22nd or something? And it's supposed to have major changes or something? I just started playing again so I'm kind of out of the loop here.

Morrowind (technically Vvardenfell) is going live on 22nd for people with early access, and it has some pretty major changes coming.

I don't really know if this is the thread for it, but the PS4 version of this game on the pro- does it run well? And also, if I just buy the game and can't be arsed subbing to it, will it be painful to play? Or are there a couple of one time things that are worth paying for? I just don't play consistently enough to justify a sub each month.

I play on a normal PS4 and work super smooth and looks great.

As a non-subscriber, you need to buy the DLC (almost all of which is worth it) and you're going to be consumed with inventory management if you want to do a lot of crafting. In particular, furniture crafting is going to be more trouble than it's worth. Aside from that, you'll be fine.

I play under similar circumstances and it's no problem at all. Honestly I don't feel it's necessary beyond investing 3 points in relevant disciplines so you can upgrade your bound gear to gold, but that's not really crafting. There are goons that live to craft, they have everything unlocked and are super friendly. I just hit them up if I need something.

I'm leveling crafting with my extra points simply for the crafting dailies, they're decent for cash and a good source of yellow upgrade mats for 2 minutes of effort a day. But you don't need to do it.

Crafting rules, but 100% of it is bind on equip. So you can always trick friends into crafting poo poo for you.

You can always ask someone to craft you a bunch of gear then deconstruct it for the exp bonus from deconstructing gear another player made. Just powerlevel it and forget about it until endgame.

Even if you don't think you'll ever craft, it's a good idea to take weapons and armor you pick up to crafting stations and research the traits on them. Researching works like skill training in EVE, just select a trait to research and a timer will count down while you're doing other things.

Just a heads up, tomorrow is launch date for Update 14 on PC. Included in the update are a shitload of changes and stuff, and to compensate, all CP will be reset on login. There will also be a reduced cost on skill point/attribute resets (1 gold per point SPENT) until the next incremental (probably 1 week).

Thought I'd dip back into this for Morrowind, and I think I'm up for starting fresh on a new character. How are Wardens looking? Any consensus on a solid build yet? I'm primarily a soloer, for the most part, and don't really care about pvp.

No, respeccing is super easy and cheap.

Ways you can gently caress yourself are the general not understanding why you should use certain powers/armour/weapons, etc. And by gently caress yourself, I mean you'll just have a way harder time with things and get frustrated. The biggest thing you can do to help with that is decide at level 1 if you wanna be a Magic or Stamina character, and put all your levelups into that stat. Then the rest we can all figure out as a group. Magic users tend to use staves and wear light armour, stamina users are dual wield + bow, and wear medium leather.

Fun facts about Morrowind:

I maxed my luck in Morrowind, and vendors had a system where if you where luck enough, they would be looking to a wall or a chest, so you could loot their stuff. With maxed luck, they would almost always looking at a wall.
Then my charisma was really high, so they where very happy to wellcome me. "Hello traveler", they would say, while looking at a wall.

I don't expect the expansion to feel like Morrowind. Morrowind is that game, and this is a new one with a re-re-interpretation of lore and some reuse of props. I don't think I would tolerate the nostalgia anyway, if somebody would have made a faithful Morrowind version.

As a PC4 player, when we can expect to play the expansion? months?

They've only got the starting time for the maintenance listed (slightly less than 2 hours from now) so I'm assuming it'll be 'as long as it takes' since they need to patch the server infrastructure.

If ESO Morrowind is a good tribute to classic early 2000s Morrowind I'll dig in.

This ain't test server, this is full release, just to the people who already own the base game, and are buying a digital upgrade version (or the physical collector's edition as myself is and go through a process to prove it), get full access.

Test server already happened. And I haven't delved deep into the reports because I'm a crazy man who is buying this no matter what and don't want any spoilers, but the general whispers I've heard have been "it's a pretty fitting tribute".

See ya'll online again this evening. We're coming home.

:same:

The ZOS guys have always done a fantastic job with the world-building and lore in ESO so I'm sure they will with Morrowind, too. And yeah, as I understand it the mechanics changes in the Morrowind update are dropping for everyone after the maintenance is finished and it's only the new class/area that are restricted to preorders at this time.

I am so hype for mushrooms and wizards and silt striders :ohdear:
