Is it too much to ask that we get a Netflix show or something for ES because that cinimatic was cool as hell.
A Telltale game would be good except I'd be shocked if anyone good is still there and IDK if they could design something open enough to capture the TES feeling.

Blur Studios as always does really fantastic work

only complaint ive ever really had with the trailers is i dont think they've ever really nailed just right elves in TES, they always look a little too human (especially the Altmer Heroine)

You expect me to believe that one mangy cat is gonna do more to a dragon than a dude who literally became a giant bone tyrant? Especially after she nearly got roasted in the previous cinematic? That's some next level plot armor there man.

I'm curious how they're going to handle Sai Sahan in the event that you sacrificed him in the original main quest.

I probably didn't need to spoiler that at this point in the game, but hey, there's a ton of new players lately.

Maybe the celestial warrior like the guy from the craglorn quest? I've never chosen him, but maybe I will on the next char I do the story with to see how they handle it.

Traveling for work so no ESO for me.

Liking my stamcro a lot. The combo of the totem, bb and the scythe are amazing fun for leveling. I found myself laughing at how rerrify8ng he must be as all the mobs scream and grab their head. Be interesting to see how that goes in PvP, cuz he needs Vigor and such. I am about 4 or 5 levels from cap. Thinking of trying Armor of Truth for the off balance buff and one of the poison/disease sets. The aoe off balance from scythe is really dependable, especially with skull slotted.

Course I usually start leveling another before I get one fully kitted.

Anyway... liking the stamcro.

Pro tip since I've been playing stamcro in lowbie BGs and some non-lowbie as well: you're gonna want more sustain built in than you think you'd need. It's a hungry loving class if you're really playing it to the max. But I like the idea of using Truth (I may test this out as well), but maybe combo it with something like Shacklebreaker or even Bone Pirate.

Yeh, I was thinking of Shacklebreaker or Bone Pirate. I think I have most of Bone Pirate in the bank. All disease sets have stamina sustain I think.

Something like Cowards Gear might be interesting too since the self heal from scythe keys off max health.

On another note, BGs did not exist when I stopped playing. Are they fun? Anything in particular I should know before trying them?

So far as long as I pace a rotation on BB and don’t spam anything like skull, etc. sustain hasn’t been an issue. He is wearing crap like lvl 16 Hundings training set and getting scaling buffs so dunno...

Ever since Elsweyr came out, we've been getting random disconnects non-stop to the point where doing anything other than logging in for the daily rewards/queing up riding lessons is a pain. Even doing profession writs ends up with a trip to the login screen more often than not.

Are there any clever fixes or workarounds, or should we give up and go back to WoW (as bad as it currently is)?

Me and my wife are playing on US servers from Europe per this thread's advice (since the EU goon guild appears to be dormant).
This arrangement worked fine up until Elsweyr's release, which is when the issues started. We thought that it was just general post-patch instability, but it doesn't seem to be going away.

I am guessing Stam?

Hundings with Training is kinda standard for stamina leveling gear. I think. You can make a mix of med/heavy to taste.

I’ve used Ashen Grip to level a Stam DK and it worked ok. Clever alchemist can be fun as well. I you're leveling as a tank HistBark or Fortified Brass might be fun.

Honestly, for leveling pick almost anything with the basic stats you want. You can wear found trash until you get your weapon swap and then make a lvl 24 training set or whatever and wear it through 50. You only start to feel a bit underpowered in the last few levels, but have more skills by then... or just make a training set for every 10 lvls, bank it to lvl other stam.

One of my characters is bugged. He cannot mount, cannot sprint and when I press the block button once, the block animation stays active forever :v:

Its not caused by add-ons. Very strange.

That seems to be a common issue with Stamina Necromancers for some inscrutable reason. In addition to those issues, I have also experienced:

-Food doesn't work, it disappears when you eat it but you get no buff.
-Healing effects don't work. For example: the Scythe power still does damage but you don't receive any healing, potions don't work, etc.
-Inability to crouch/sneak.
-Permanently stuck being "discovered" while sneaking, even in places with no NPC's
-Vampirism being cured (no buff, skin textures return to normal) when you advance from one stage to the next. <-- my personal favorite in the wtf category.

All of which just seem to happen at random times. It makes the game interesting to say the least. The only thing I've found that fixes this stuff is dying, not the best of solutions lol, and it's only a matter of time before the bugs pop up again. Hopefully it gets fixed during the maintenance tonight.

Doesn't Elsweyr contain Summerset? That plus the fact that you can get Summerset via ESO Plus makes this seem like a bad deal.
