It's 5 minutes between plunder skull drops, so I'm using the opportunity to go around the world clearing all the delves/picking up skyshards that I've missed. Also you force a boss spawn when you first enter the boss area in a delve, so you never have to stand around and wait.

As a bonus, you piss off the players camping the bosses, because it hasn't been 5 minutes since their last boss spawn, and now they have to wait a bit longer. :v:

So I picked this up from the monthly humble thing. I cleared up enough room on my hard drive for it and used steam to download like 70gigs. Now when I go to run it, the launcher says I need 87 gigs free and that I only have 45 free (since I downloaded 70 from steam.)

Is there a fix for this? Or am I going to have to uninstall stuff somehow to make room and work from there?

I had something similar going on on my installation. The thread which helped me was https://steamcommunity.com/app/306130/discussions/0/1456202492175727600/

There's a solution in one of the responses, sorry, on the mobile now.

Also, I've collected a few monster trophies off of mobs; do these do anything? Given that they are called trophies, I figured there was some way to display them in one of my houses, but I haven't been able to find a way to do so.

Nah, just sell them. They're rare drops that count toward achievements, and you don't need to hold on to them for them to count. The trophies you display in your house are from group dungeon, trial, and arena bosses.

I was still feeling lost on my old nightblade, so I've decided to make a templar with the intent of being a pure healer down the line. I've always enjoyed that role.

Game is fun, i'm into relearning it, and I've been prioritizing murdering delve bosses to try and cash in on these halloween bags while the event is running. Are any of these recipes gonna be worth anything to other players once the event is over? Usually in mmo's holiday stuff seems oversaturated to the point where even seemingly cool or rare items ain't worth much, from my past experience at least. But I got a gold vampire drink recipe i'm considering holding onto instead of learning, just in case.

Also, I see that there's maintenance tonight, how long does that usually last? Back, over a decade ago ( :smith: ) when I played WoW, one of the reasons I stopped was horribly long maintenance days which always happened on my days off. Is ESO pretty reasonable for this or not?

Yeah these are regular maintenances, except for this one, which is actually going to be bringing Update 16 to the live servers. Hope you like Clockwork City!

What I'm asking is how long does maintenance (usually) last, roughly, are we talking 2-4 hours or 24 hours (which I once experience in WoW.) I work midnights, and I generally keep that schedule on my days off, and I wanted to play tonight.

I think maint is normally 4-6 hours, it's lasted longer before, and they've had to bring servers down again because poo poo blew up, but typically it's smooth.

*edit* might be longer because of DLC release, not sure.

How is tanking in this game? Is it something I can do while leveling without being kicked from every group for not being max everything with perfect gear? Kind of want to play a brick wall after spending time playing gw2 and it's "dodge EVERYTHING or be stunlocked and/or die instantly" approach.

Do not level as a tank, you will hate your life, level as either stam or mag DPS, depending on if you want to melee or cast, then swap to tank (or healer) once you're cp160

Sounds like good advice, I'll stab things (with a mace!) until I have enough points to not be completely worthless. At least I don't feel as squishy as gw2 so far, even as a dps.

Don't worry about any of that until CP160.

Yeah AUI is fuckt now and I don't think the guy updates it anymore?

Also looking for another decent UI mod like it if anyone has suggestions, I hate playing UI roulette.

I should really stop being lazy and figure out the modding for ESO like I did in EQ, but :effort:

How long did you let it sit? Ive only been playing for a couple weeks myself, sometimes it goes almost immediately, sometimes it takes 2-3 minutes.

Might be an internet problem.

Offense is overrated anyway.

It's definitely an issue. A lot of times it hangs on that screen for 5+ minutes (I've let it goas far as 10) before I alt+f4 out and when I try it again if loads up in under a minute.

It seems to take especially long after an update, but eventually loads. If there's a connection problem it'll kick you back to the login screen.

I used to experience the infinite loading screen fairly often when traveling between highly populated areas (entering/leaving the Rawl'kha outlaws' refuge was especially bad), but haven't had it happen recently. Wonder if they've finally fixed it.

Soloing group bosses as a stamsorc is fun, but you know what really feels badass? Soloing group bosses as a glass cannon magicka Dragonknight wearing almost all light armor, and using no potions.

This. Alternatively, do randos with goons once you hit 10.
