Tanks still suck but you don't gotta hand it to the Axis either.

The main quest is started when you start the game. Like...I don't think you can really miss it?

Eventually you get enough of it done, and originally, you'd get he next part every so many levels. Now instead you can do it all back to back. What will happen is when you finish a step, you'll leave the Harborage, walk for about 60 seconds then the Prophet will show up as a ghosty thing and give you the next step, which involves returning to the Harborage.

Here's the wiki for the main quest, might help you realize where you need to pick up - but again, most of them start from visions from the Prophet. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Main_Quest

Youre off-date. It doesnt anymore. After morrowind came the game starts at vvardenfell, not from the main quest at coldharbor.

I only started a couple of months ago, with Morrowind. I still got the main quest, but I don't remember how.

You'll encounter the NPC to start the main quest (the Hooded Figure) when you first visit Davon's Watch (Stonefalls), Vulkhel Guard (Auridon), or Daggerfall (Glenumbra).

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

I want to jump back into this but I hate subscriptions and it looks like the cheapest way to get Morrowind and Summerset is to remove the base game from my Steam account and then rebuy the pack with them both. Can anyone confirm that this works?

It depends on the enemy. Common mobs should still get knocked down, afaik.

I'm aware, but like I said I hate subscriptions and I really only play MMOs sporadically when I'm bored.

I actually found a physical copy of the Morrowind expansion online and from what I've read the code should still work, we'll see though.

I don't mean this flippantly, but it's almost always either a Steam issue or a ZOS server issue. For a MMO the server performance can be dreadful at times (most times). You can always check their official forums here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/categories/general-discussion They will generally put a banner up pretty quickly if any login issues happen.

Is it just me or does the game feel super janky/clunky since the murkmire update?

Like the movement, bar-swapping, combat - all feels really weirdly annoying, as if I'm getting weird micro-delays. Or maybe something in the graphics changed and I'm just feeling that.

The only upside to using Steam is not having to remember your password. You miss out on sales and have to deal with frequent login issues.

An additional upside to steam is it patches the game for you, you don't have to patch for a while if you decide to take a break for a few months.

I presume it patches for you, I mean, I don't use steam for ESO.

Nah it doesn't sadly, patches still download and apply only once you've fired up the ESO launcher from Steam.

No, it's not just you, something's up with the network.

This kind of bugginess is why I stopped playing initially, and why I no longer use ESO Plus.

I think in most cases no, but here's what happened to me recently: I wrote to Support and ask to separate my ESO account from my Steam account, bc what the hell, it can't hurt. It seemed to be a conditional possibility, actually. They asked me for the date on which I added it to Steam, and when I told them, they said it was not possible and closed the ticket immediately without further info. So, I guess??? it is possible under some sort of circumstance related to the date when you bought it? I found out after the fact that a similar scenario happened to a friend of mine.

Crown sales specifically, if you care about that. Around Christmas they're half price from the official store. I don't know if it applies to DLC as well.

According to the official site you can still purchase crowns through the official store, even if your game is on Steam.

Free week of ESO Plus starting 11/15. They're timing it with the next in-game event for earning tickets towards the indrik mount. Are numbers down or something? They're being kind of generous lately. Maybe we'll get a killer Black Friday deal on crowns and/or DLC if they keep this up.
