It ended up not taking all that long, maybe 30-40 minutes? I guess the displayed data rate was a bit off. Anyway, rolled my cat wizard, and it dropped me off in... Morrowind? I thought that was an expansion pack. Or does everyone start there? Game defaulted to Ultra High settings, and it runs flawlessly. I imagine a real stress test would be Balmora, as that was the case with original Morrowind. For whatever reason, by default the interface is completely bare-bones. Almost nothing was enabled, not even subtitles. I guess that's to give it a Skyrim-like feel. I turned a ton of options on and now it has MMO usability. How do I craft stuff? I've looted a bunch of ingredients but I couldn't figure out how to make anything yet. Is a staff/light armor the best for wizards? I noticed I'm also going to need to train medium for some stealth perks.

Morrowind is an expansion, but now part of the base game - the new expansion is Summerset. So basically the thing that happens in WoW, where old expansions are added to the base game when a new one comes along. And yep, the game starts you off in Morrowind (after Harborage if you didn't skip it), which is complete bs in my opinion since I like to start from the alliance starting zones. I just port to a friend/guild-mate in the starting zones and come back to Morrowind when I do dlc quests. If you have ESO+ just keep collecting resources and make low-level stuff at crafting stations which can be found in main cities, small cities and guild halls (and friend's houses if they have them). Basically the low level mats are actually very useless in the long run since once you hit cp160 the mats required are end-game and you'll never end up using low-level mats unless you do unleveled writs (which is actually worth it just for the maps). Might sound kind of complicated, but once you see a crafting station and how there are different for each profession it's all easy.

The capital of Vvardenfell is Vivec City, but since it's under construction, most activity is in an outdoor station. You need to find a crafting table and refine raw ingredients if you want to craft. There are intro crafting quests (writ certifications) in the capital cities. Staff + light armor is the way to go. I'd suggest throwing on a single heavy piece and a single medium to level those up in case you ever need them.

A lot of light armor wearers like to use a heavy chest when soloing, since it’s the bit with the most armor. Once you get used to constantly refreshing you shield that becomes less important, but it can still help.

So, apparently zos done hosed up and has had guild roster functions working outside of being in the guild roster menu, which in turn causes performance issues. If you want an outsourced (read: console troopers discovered this fix) fix, go to your guild rosters and search for either your name or some random name that you know will NOT be in the guild rosters, this will blank out the roster and stop it from constantly pulling player data to increase performance.

I just port to a friend/guild-mate in the starting zones and come back to Morrowind when I do dlc quests. That's silly, because in WoW trial accounts, you always start at level 1 in your Vanilla-ish racial newb zone. The only way to warp to expansion zones is to use a paid level boost (one comes free with expansion purchases). Ok, going off what you said, I'd like to go to whatever zone Khajits start in. Had a brief look at the map yesterday, and it looks like there's 1 area in Elsweyr that's playable (Gold Coast I think it's called?), how do I get there from Morrowind? Well, besides using a party member to warp. If I can make a journey there on foot I'd prefer that. You also mentioned crafting is useful for the maps. I stole one of those (a treasure map maybe?) from a container in Seyda Neen. Didn't seem to be directly usable. What exactly does it do? Mizuti posted:The minimalist UI is awful. Consider looking into addons to add other functionality like a minimap. A minimap would definitely be useful! Mizuti posted:Staff + light armor is the way to go.

Another new player here. Here is how to get to your starting zone: Teleport to one of the capitals, e.g. Davons Watch or Daggerfall. (All characters start with the wayshrines to these) Once you get there some woman will give you a quest to "talk to the benefactor". Do this quest and you will automatically find yourself in a different zone for a while and upon completion of this quest, which turns out to be the Main Quest, you will get teleported to the starting zone for whichever race you are. So basically: -Delete all your quests -Teleport to Daggerfall or Davons Watch -Run around for a bit near the Wayshrine to get the game to trigger the NPC offering you the benefactor quest -Do this quest -Eventually find yourself in the starting zone for your race The starting zone is a small place and if you follow the storyline here you will eventually be sent to a slightly larger zone. Do the quests here as well and you will eventually be sent to the zone that contains your factions capital and be on the "mainland" so to speak; the first 2 zones are islands

If you start in Morrowind it puts you in Seyda Neen. There's a boat right there on the docks that will take you to the starting city of whatever faction you desire. As soon as you get off the boat that quest giver will appear before you and you can take it.

It's worth noting that this game doesn't really have starting zones in the WoW sense of the term. It's very open-ended in terms of where you can start and what order you want to do stuff in. If you do enough in-depth research you can sort of puzzle out a chronology of the many, many game storylines, but the game doesn't break if you do them out of order. It's designed so you can start anywhere, just tug on a thread and see where it goes, and kind of make your own story. It's not a mistake that they start you at their newest content, it tends to be the most polished content and they're trying to make a good first impression, that's all...

Yep, you can start doing quests wherever, but if I prefer to start in the alliance starting areas as was originally designed by ZOS. I also feel the starting zone quests are easier for lowbies, they were designed to like that in my opinion.

I started in Summerset, and reached a questchain after two hours that had me fighting a raid boss, solo, with little to no skills. I wiped and wiped until I youtubed it's name, and noticed players struggling with that guy at even more advanced levels. Seriously, please start somewhere else, it's so much easier. Even the mini-bosses can be tough, and with no CC or special skills yet, well good luck.

I mean sure you come across some quests in Alinor that want you to kill World Bosses and stuff but they aren’t critical quests and any experience with MMOs should tell you when something like that isn’t soloable. I usually just idled for 10-15m at most until a group of high levels wandered through and started fighting the boss, but I could’ve easily just ignored the quest until later because there’s not really any story to it and it just rewards the daily cache things.

Ofecks posted:Thank you! Mr. Kitty Man is going home. Well, I'm back where I'm supposed to be, I think. But that's a hell of a way to start a MMO.  Inventory space is already a problem. It has the same system as DCSS where weight isn't a thing but you're just limited to slots. I can definitely see the value in buying a subscription for the craft bag. I don't think I'll be playing past the free trial, but this is definitely a cool game and I will come back to it eventually. Very different than the other two MMOs I've played (WoW and Neverwinter), as far as character advancement and several other aspects. Until then I'll have to train myself not to pick up everything that isn't nailed down (because Elder Scrolls).

Time for another screenshot dump. First off, cosmetic stuff from the new crown crate set, which I'd been saving up my gems for. Dead-Water Scale skin is iridescent, and apparently looks really cool on non-Argonian characters—not that I can show that off.  Bright-Throat skin, for the character I may as well have designed specifically for it.  Bright-Throat Woad face and body tattoo.  Bright-Throat Chalk body tattoo, which completes this witch-doctor outfit.  This is why I make sure to open every desk, cabinet, backpack, and urn I come across. That's about 50,000 gold worth of furniture plans right there.  I redid a lot of my Argonian party cave since I last posted it. In particular, there's a totally new shop/crafting area making use of some of the new Murkmire furniture plans.  "Your eyes are as lovely as muddy puddles, found deep within... ehhhhh, forget it."  This outfit I made for my new magplar is my favorite one I've ever done.
