i would say vets are not easy if you're in a group of people not knowing what they're doing which is the majority of the player base

though if I had to chart it out I'd guess I'd say

overland/delve/public dungeon>normal dungeons>normal trials>vet dungeons>vma>vet trials

if youve been playing with goons in normals that would explain everything seeming piss easy, while I've often watched pugs even struggle with non-dlc normal stuff

edit: whoops the app didn't refresh my page so this was wrt a older conversation

This is true, when people are mouth breathing idiots it's hard, but if you're playing with goons things will generally be easy; I sort of forget the time prior to being essentially unkillable in anything under veteran stuff/trials when I was actually doing dungeons with non-goons.

So I've got this idea for a stamwarden, but I am confused as to what I should make it.

Dunmer, Altmer, Bosmer, or Orsimer?

Bosmer or Orc

Huh, I rolled a redguard for my Stamden, but she's still under level 10.

Redguard is arguably the "best" race for a stamina class due to their passives. 10% max stamina, 9% stamina regen and close to 800 stamina returned every 5 seconds so long as you're attacking. Allows you to do more light attack weaving and fewer heavy attacks (and thus sustain overall DPS a little better).

My Stamden is an orc because i'll probably pvp with him and I like the idea of an orc with a bigass 2hander chopping heads off

right now he's just there for writs though :kiddo:

Yeah, I have 4 (!) stamina DPS characters, and only my Nightblade main is a Redguard. The rest are an Imperial DK, an Orc DK and a Wood Elf Warden (cuz wood elves are adorable).

Argonian is my favorite race and my second favorite is Breton so most of my characters are one of those two. I do have one Redguard, a 2H stamsorc I'm leveling. I know DW is currently "BETTER IN THE META" but my only DW character is a khajit nightblade because that makes sense in my head.

With the change to twohanders coming up (counting as two set pieces) the gap between DW and 2H for PvE should be narrowed pretty significantly. My Imperial DK is the DW meta while the giant orc swings a very large sword so it'll be cool to see how much closer they will be in terms of DPS.

My stamden lowbie Redguard is doing 2H, because my other two Stamina characters use bow / dual-wield. I'm thinking about respeccing my Stamblade into a Magblade; he's only level 20. What weaponds does a Magblade use? Staff and bow? Or just staffs?

there's some open speculation on if Kirkbride has written anything for ESO (sermon 37 being the number one suspect) but if not whoever at ZOS definitely did their homework on weird lore and nailing the voice

But he works at TellTale now so whatever if anything he's up to is probably low-key

apparently he is good friends with the guy in charge of lore for ESO though

Double destruction staff. Your choice of Lightning/Inferno or Inferno/Inferno. When I played one I would swap between those two setups depending on what I was doing.

In trying to find the picture of kirkbride tripping in his apartment, I just found out that there's an in-game reference to c0da in the 37th Sermon of Vivec :stare:

""Go here: world without wheel, charting zero (0) deaths, and echoes singing" Seht said, until all of it was done, and in the center was anything whatever. "

How do Dungeons work with this whole One Tamriel thing?

Even though I'm only level 13 can I just join a group for any Normal Dungeon? I assume I keep my gear and skills, it just upscales the numbers?

So the only real detriment is not having all my skills /passives unlocked?

Hey everyone,

Looking for an MMO to play and I was thinking of checking out ESO on PS4. Starting fresh, I have a copy of the base game but was wondering what else I might need to purchase in order to play. Also is there a subscription?

Thanks.

You are literally always up-scaled until you hit CP160, in the open world, pvp, dungeons, everywhere.

I think there MIGHT still be level limits for some dungeons, I forget which they are and what the limits are, but they also might have removed them at some point.

Available dungeons still unlock as you level. The DLC ones used to be immediately unlocked so long as you owned the DLC or had ESO+, but they gated them a few updates ago as well.
