I've been looking for a particular song that plays in the game, sometimes before a big cinematic boss fight. It's the one that starts with the main Elder Scrolls theme, very rumbling and hard hitting. I think it may just be a stinger that plays before the actual boss music. I can't actually remember the last time I heard it playing, but I think it plays at the final battle in most chapters. I have listened to every song on all of the released soundtracks and tracked down some of the unreleased ambient music, but I just can't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

You can do green->blue->purple ONCE per zone via excavation. So yeah you can make good money going to each zone and doing the free purple lead in each zone - but past that you can only farm green and blues over and over. You won't get a new purple lead from digging. In short, you will make like 10k per zone doing your first G->B->P run but past that you will have to get purple leads from bosses chests etc

I just started playing this week and in retrospect I should have just dropped group, but I just had the most boring-rear end dungeon run of all time. Normally these things rake like 10 minutes but I swear to god none of the other 3 people were pressing buttons and it took 45. Every boss took 10 mins to basically kill by myself. Zzzzzzzzz

When something like that happens I just have to imagine they're all 10 or something and roll with it, but I really should have just left because it was such a waste of time/not fun. Trust me you could not possibly be worse at pressing buttons.

kirbysuperstar posted:Last time I did a dungeon queue the tank blamed everyone for being slow while he did nothing but hit the taunt button and guard the entire time. Lets be frank, that's better than 90% of tanks you are likely to get. A passable DPS build will hit 15k at minimum in a normal dungeon with no buffs on a single target. Which means the expected DPS in a normal group should be around 30k with the tank and healer sucking each other off and doing nothing at all to contribute to damage. 30k group dps will still walk through any non DLC dungeon with ease - and if your group DPS ISN'T hitting 30k - it aint the tanks fault. Yes the tank SHOULD be doing more utility abilites in terms of buffing and debuffing, interrupts etc. Still if the group DPS isn't hitting 30k at minimum - it's the DPS who are slacking. At 160cp with working sets, you should do at least ~25k by yourself as dps. I frequently find myself doing 60-80% of the dps in the groups. End game DPS expectations are 60k+ I couldn't possibly care less what the tank is doing as long as he's actually taunting. There is zero excuse for a CP160 DPS to do less than 15k dps or to run non set gear. You can easily hit 20k dps with crafted gear.

i recently tanked normal wayrest sewers 1 with a dps who repeatly heavy attacked the bosses with a frost staff, stood around doing nothing when he wasent taunting the boss with a frost staff, and took every oppritunity to lead like 30 trash mobs into the boss arena to wipe us out. i realized what he was doing about halfway through and made sure every single trash mob was killed by the others before we faced any boss

I don't hesitate to kick DPS who is AFK or being a tool or refusing to do the required mechanics - the DPS queue is massive - you are not going to be sitting there with 3 people waiting for a DPS to show up. Fake tanks are much harder to deal with - which is why I have a tank alt for dungeons - can't get a fake tank if you are the tank...

Doctor Zero posted:Wait.... what? Seriously? So that would explain why Ayrenn never showed up in Summerset even though her homeland was in danger. And well...no one cares about Emeric. Casting "well known" actors is a waste of money when they are not already tied to the property via a TV show or movie. Just cast the usual stable of video game/anime/cartoon voice talent and no one would know the difference. Like Steve Blum! Drink game: Start questing in Glenumbra and take a sip of Michelob/PBR/Old Milwaukee/etc every time you hear Steve Blum's voice.

I mean...if your point is that the average ESO pubbie has never broken seen 5 digit DPS in their life - that's a whole separate issue. A CP 160 character with crafted sets should hit 15k DPS on a solo target. If they're not hitting 15k, a tank who just taunts isn't why the dungeon is moving slowly.

While we're on this topic, I could use some advice on getting into the dungeon scene. I have 2 Cp toons, but it's been so long since I've played that I still feel rather noobish. I figured out that I need to be doing pledges. For now I'm doing normal dungeons, getting all the skill points that I've never picked up. How tough is veteran's and hard-mode? At what point would I be ready for that content? Currently I'm using some crafted purple Hundig's and Night Mother's (iirc) w/ epic weapons. I'm still dieing plenty in Normal as I get used to not standing in red areas. I also noticed there's a random queue. Is that worth doing?

Random is good xp to do daily. What build are you, are both hunding and NM 5 set with the correct trait, devines or whatever they should be, do you have the correct mundus for your build - are there actually enchants on all your gear and jewlery? Vet content difficulty is all over the place. Original dungeons on Vet tend to be pretty easy - compared to even some normal DLC dungeons. Also - you can change the opacity and brightness of the red areas to be super bright dayglow hot pink which will make it much easier to see them. If you're not following one of these builds: https://alcasthq.com/eso-dungeon-and-trial-meta-builds/ You probably should. Get used to doing the rotation right, get used to weaving. Practice on a target dummy. If you are having a really tough time weaving - there's a ahk script that will basically do it for you - but somewhat worse than you could do yourself. You should also be able to get into dungeon gear pretty easily and get a crappy monster set. Finally - install combat metrics and get some logs in to see what your actual numbers are. If you are not in a guild that has a proper guild hall with target dummies - get in a guild that does. FileNotFound fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Jun 17, 2020 |

I'll have to refine it to one of Alcast's. I did enchant all my stuff (purple stamina enchants on armor) I don't remember what all traits I chose. I crafted these, so the traits are probably inconsistent and not all divines.

Get the Maelstrom's Bow, it now drops from Normal so it's MUCH more attainable and is a good boost to Endless Hail which is pretty broken.. I would suggest farming up a set of Leviathan jewlery and shoving weapon damage enchants on all of it and getting a monster set asap - it doesn't have to be veildreth, pretty much anything will be free dps. If you need someone to run Crypt of Hearts with you, my tank doesn't have all Ebon peices so I'll be happy to go.

magplars tend to be a bit lower on single-target dps, plus that's going relatively crit heavy, so I wouldn't stress out too much if it seems a bit low (the burn-down ray excepted, but that doesn't really count)

Sometimes you get some decent groups or at least some groups who are willing to learn and then you get groups full of idiots who run Xynode builds and call you toxic for suggesting that maybe using a frost staff as your main dps stick is a bad idea. Begath posted:While we're on this topic, I could use some advice on getting into the dungeon scene. I have 2 Cp toons, but it's been so long since I've played that I still feel rather noobish. Most dungeon Hard Modes are simply "more health, boss hit harder" types of deals. However I feel like I should point out the few actual hard modes that exist in the game
I don't have info for anything from Wolfhunter/Scalebreaker/Harrowstorm/Wrathstone because we mostly stopped caring about PvE at that point and were simply using whatever time we allotted for PvP shenanigans. As an aside, while making this list I started remembering the fun times the dungeon crew used to have while slamming out dungeons so as a personal list of the best dungeons in the game:
Most of these had really good mechanics, were hard but rewarding, and were overall immensely fun and gave a sense of achievement when we either completed them, or got the rewards for doing the ultra achievements for them (Scalecaller and Fang Lair have the best cosmetic rewards).
