Regarding Summerset, is there anything to know before jumping in? I'm only level 20.

Ideally you would probably want to finish the vanilla Main Quest, Morrowind Main Quest, and Clockwork City for stuff to flow best and catch all the references, though like all the DLC it's written in a way that it can take place at any time

gameplay wise everything scales so yeah go nuts

from the patch notes

quote:

Summerset is a new Chapter in The Elder Scrolls Online, suitable for characters of all levels. You can travel to Summerset by a few different means:

Use a Wayshrine to travel directly there
Create a new character and complete the tutorial
Accept “The Queens Decree” quest from the Stories section in the Collections UI

There should also be boats/navigators in Devon's Watch, Daggerfall, Skywatch (iirc), and the capitol cities of Mournhold, Wayrest, and Eldenroot

Unless you really want one of the zone item sets, aside from picking up the Psijic skill line (which you can gain access to and fully level in the course of a couple hours) there honestly aren't a ton of reasons to pick up shop and head to Summerset if you want to do other things first. Take your time!

I'm in Coldharbor on my main so I'm at least going to finish that first. Maybe do Morrowind after. I haven't fully decided but Morrowind was one of the bigger reasons I've been revisiting this.

im playing an dw/bow orc stamina templar and its pretty fun. its my first character so it was pretty rough in the beginning. jabs and power of the light are prettymuch the only templar skills im using right now but they gently caress poo poo up. youll probably need to grind out vigor in cyrodil for solo play healing though

Yeah, you'll still have to use your disc, and your digital upgrade will work just fine with your version. The disc just works as an authentication key for ESO on your system. You can ditch your disc by buying a full version of ESO off the PSN store, and you'd still have Morrowind and/or Summerset if you've bought them because they're attached to your PSN account. I considered spending the extra $20 to do that during the Summerset preorder and I'm still kind of annoyed that I didn't.

Sony is running a sale that has ESO Morrowind available for $13, and I just want to clarify what exactly I get if I buy that, or what else I would need to buy? I'm not sure I'd actually be into the game, but for that price I'm willing to give it a shot!

I just got ESO + the Morrowind expansion for under 10bux on PS4. Rolled a dark elf and got a nostalgia explosion in the hold of the ship to Seyda Neen (which then got derailed, but oh well). I'm not sure if I can get into another MMO, but I love Elder Scrolls and the price is right for a trial run.

Morrowind is still free with the purchase of Summerset (technically still a pre-purchase as it has only pre-launched), so $13 is actually kind of steep compared to $0. Anybody "discounting" it right now is trying to fleece you.

Neither of these expansions includes the base game, but that tends to be pretty cheap. At least they don't include it by default, but there might be bundles out there. I don't know if the Sony deal you're talking about is a game+expansion bundle, but either way paying for Morrowind right now is a bad move.

If you just want to try it out, try the basic game first.

The game rules though, it's definitely worth trying.

The $11.99 option includes a license for the base game, plus the Morrowind Chapter included.*
The $9.99 option is just the Morrowind Chapter, for which you will need the base game to play.
The $39.99 option gives you the base game, the Morrowind Chapter, and the Summerset Chapter (in two weeks).**
The $79.99 option includes the base game, The Morrowind Chapter, the Summerset Chapter, and the first 4 DLC lands (The Imperial City, Orisnium, Thieves' Guild, The Dark Brotherhood)

* From here on out, this is the base digital game purchase. There is no longer a "Chapterless ESO" for sale online, though discs still exist in the wild.
** When Summerset was revealed, they had a "limited time offer" that included the Morrowind Chapter as a preorder bonus for Summerset, but since the Morrowind Chapter is now being baked into the base game purchase, it's safe to assume that any package that includes the base game will also include the Morrowind Chapter as well.

Anyone else get an instant crash on startup ever since the Summerset patch? It's after I hit "play" on the launcher, game launches and instantly crashes out.

Figured it was due to their new and improved multicore code and sure enough, limiting the job threads fixed the problem:

SET RequestedNumJobThreads "8"


Any particular order I should do content in?

I started with Orsimmar and that took me to level 14.

It'll very much help 2H, yes. From where I stand, however, DW seems way easier to use, and thus people can get better DPS/sustain out of it.

Unless you are a Stamplar, in which case, JABS anyway, so use a big rear end 2H.

People are saying 2h is still a little behind dw in ideal situations but who knows. Still if you want a bigass 2 hander you're better off now than before

2H is basically in the best spot its been for a long time, if you like swinging giant swords go for it. if youre just starting out you should level up and familiarize yourself with both anyways


NovaLion posted:

any class can do this, just pick whatever you think sounds coolest and then decide whether you like stabbing things (stamina) or zapping things (magicka)

in terms of complexity to play id probably rank it easiest to hardest Dragon Knight/Sorcerer > Templar > Warden > Night Blade

for stamina your choices are either dual wield or two hander. you can also go bow only but that requires some reading up on how to make it work

magicka you'll use either or both fire and lightning staves.

tanking is sword and shield or frost staves

Imo the easiest and best class for anyone new is magic Templar. Because then if you wanna go full healer or still DPS, you just use slightly different skills.

Magplar and Stamsorc make you feel like you can solo the whole world. Because you kinda can.

This sounds more in line with what I'm after. Is this still a viable way to do a Stamsorc? Or would a Magplar be better for someone new?

Both of those are still very correct, EXCEPT don't do two swords on magplar. Most of them do double destro, but leveling destro (lightning) and resto back is very popular.

for dw stam sorc i would probably do something like

dw: shrouded daggers (DW ability) / crushing weapon (psijic ability), blood craze (dw), rearming trap (fighters guild), hurricane (sorc), bound armaments (sorc) ultimate: flawless dawnbreaker (fighters guild) or if dont have it rend (dw ulti)
bow: poison injection (bow), endless hail (bow), caltrops (alliance war) / acid spray (bow), crit surge (sorc), bound armaments (sorc) ultimate: ballista (bow) or greater storm atronach (sorc) for something to distract enemies with

all attribute points into stam, mundus stone The Lover (or if you have good penetration The Warrior)

Do you still double-slot bound armaments now that it's a regular buff rather than a toggle? I wish the duration was a bit longer, but at least having it slotted buffs[ max stamina/LA damage.
