Oh yeah it doesn't affect me when playing or anything. I said at the beginning it's only because PC parts cost so much now I'm neurotic. I even underclock my 2080ti a bit. It just a weird thing for me, thanks though.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:They used to only drop in vet, now they drop in both. The vet versions are "perfected" which is slightly higher quality, yeah. Normal weapons drop on normal, perfected on vet. Perfected stuff has 1 extra bonus that normal doesn't have, and those bonuses are largely negligible. Most of the time, you're fine with normal. Here's a common example: Maelstrom staves are the standard backbar of p much every mag dps. The reason being that MA destro staves give you bonus damage against everything standing in your wall of elements aoe. So the typical use is you drop your wall on your back bar, then swap and do your thing on front bar while wall of elements keeps chugging along procing your backbar enchant and the maelstrom bonus while you use front bar abilities/set bonuses. This works exactly the same whether you have a normal MA staff or a perfected one. Zero difference between the two. A perfected staff has the above bonus but also gives you about 1k spell penetration. Which only applies while you're on your backbar, which you typically only swap to just long enough to refresh your wall, dots, and whatever buffs you keep back there before swapping back to front bar. So that bonus is largely useless.

I try to avoid the imperial city stuff because it takes sooooo goddamn long to get from your base to the city and back through the sewers. I assume I am missing some kind of shortcuts??

Doctor Zero posted:I try to avoid the imperial city stuff because it takes sooooo goddamn long to get from your base to the city and back through the sewers. I assume I am missing some kind of shortcuts?? As someone who doesn't PVP, the whole thing was pretty confusing to navigate to me, but I figured it out. Here's a quick "I don't know what I'm doing" guide: - Top menu, next to groups / guilds / etc, go to alliance, pick an IC campaign, and queue for one. Probably one that's either really empty or your faction is high. - Now you're in the sewers. For the "kill a group event" you can just go to a boss in the sewers near where you spawned in, it's most likely your faction around. - Go back to where you spawned in. it's not marked, but there's a door in that base that will take you back to the real world - Go deeper into your base. In one of those spots there's a bunch of ladders and ropes going up. They each tell you what district it is. If you look at the IC map, you can see bases around the circle, and that tells you what the district name is and who has it. - Pop up there and grab a daily. Go do it. Good luck. - Once done, go back to your district base, find the hatch back into the sewers - Then go to the exit door When you're used to just wayshrining around, the whole thing is a lot more opaque. None of those things are marked on the map beyond "base".

I was ready to delete the game since you can't port out of the base, and there is absolutely no indication or description of how to get back to the real world. I tried relogging my character and restarting the game because I thought it was a bug. Ran around for waaaay too long before I finally googled it, and STILL took me forever to find the goddamn door. I can understand not letting you port out of the battlefield, but why the hell would they not let you port out of the base???

To go to the daily quests: use the ladders, they're near your bank in the base. They take you to a safe quest pickup zone, those are the dailies that give tickets. The turn in is in the base. The other shortcut that everyone uses is : port to cyrodill. When you're done in IC if you don't want to use the sewers, queue up for a cyro campaign and walk through a door changing zones to get the temp invincibility while you wait. It'll port you to cyro when it pops then queue back for IC and you'll be in your base and can turn in the quest. Then walk out of the base back to where you started. This also works in reverse if you're in the middle of nowhere in cyro and want to get back. If you don't have much telvar you can also get yourself killed and basically pay half your telvar to go back to the base. Peaceful Anarchy fucked around with this message at 14:59 on Aug 27, 2021 |

longtimelurker posted:Skrying isn't explained terribly well. Do I just go to the zone and start clearing dungeons? 1. A basic Green, Blue and Purple lead. There are just treasure, purple only occurs once. 2. Some combo of purple and Gold Furnishing leads. These are generally from picking up stuff. 3. Ancestral motifs: These come from treasure map chests. 4. There are also mythic leads that are tied to specific dungeon or delve bosses or mobs. 1 is always there, Blue unlocks by digging up green, purple by digging up blue 2. These just pop up randomly by picking up loot and nodes and chests in a zone. 3. These you have to search out treasure map chests 4. These you should look up outside the game and do what you need to get what you want. Hoping to stumble on them will leave you with a lot of gaps.

   Gosh, this game is pretty. And I'm enjoying dress-up! Random thoughts: - I need to pick a mini-map add-on already - Morrowind is WAY too full of grass/greenery but is otherwise really pretty. - I still have too many quests. Running around trying to finish off the prologue ones and the "welcome to the zone" ones. Which is to say, sorry Vivec you literal god thanks for the gold BYE I'll help you with your quest stuff later - Doing two daily event ticket-getting things a day, gonna get that cool pet eventually!!

Barreft posted:Wait what's this cool pet that turns into a house? 1. The motif pages that can also drop from from coffers, so generally best not to buy these. 2. Fragments for an unstable morpholith pet. There are three fragments, 5 tickets each. 3. Fragments that allow you to morph the pet into something else 4. Group repair kit, this is for when you have nothing else to buy. 5. Some events also have other things like furnishings or pets, these can generally also be gotten without tickets. This event and the next (Blackwood event), let you morph the pet into a Gryphon mount. If you've just started and don't have Blackwood you won't be able to do this for now, but may have another chance at year's end. The following three events Halloween (confirmed), Undaunted(?unconfirmed) and New Life(certain), will have fragments that will grant you a house, although there's no building in this house, just a big deadric plot of land and lava. In this event you should be able to get 24/26 tickets, so you should get the 3 morpholith fragments and, if you can, one of the Gryphon pieces. If you own blackwood you'll be able to get the other two gryphon pieces in September. If not you won't be able to participate in that even, but you'll still be able to get the house in Oct/Nov/Dec. Once you create the pet you can collect the fragments again, and once you morph it you can create another pet. Spend the event tickets at the impressario, it shows up as a calendar on the map, there's one in vivec city, just outside the city gates north of the wayshrine. Most zones have an impressario tent, but that's the one I use.

You have to choose, but you can get the parts again for another, at least in theory. Depends on if the fragments commune to be on the vendor in future events.

StrixNebulosa posted:Am I misreading you, or do I have to choose between cool house and gryphon pet? Because I really, REALLY want that gryphon pet. (I do not own Blackwood... yet. Hm.) If you want the Gryphon but don't own Blackwood you'll have to do the following. Get the morpholith (15 tickets) If you've earned all the tickets so far, and you get all the remaining tickets, you'll be able to buy one piece out of three for the Gryphon. (1 ticket leftover) Blackwood event: you won't be able to participate. Witches Festival: Should have 26 tickets available. You'll be able to buy the first 2 house fragments, plus one piece of the morph pet. (2 tickets leftover) Novemeber event: Unanounced, but should have 26 tickets as well This will allow you to get one more piece for the house (10 tickets) and two more morph pet pieces (10 tickets) 8 tickets leftover New life festival: (unknown number of tickets, but has 57 tickets last year) that would allow you to get: the two remaining house pieces (20 tickets) the two gryphon pieces you'll still be missing (20 tickets) and still have 17+8 tickets leftover to get another floating rock pet if you want. The number of tickets available for New life is a guess, as is the fact that they'll bring back the mount pieces, but there's enough leeway in the number of tickets that I wouldn't be concerned there even if it's a couple of days shorter, and they've always brought back the year's parts so I would feel pretty confident about that.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:The gryphon is a mount. You CAN get both, but if you don't own blackwood you won't be able to earn tickets to get it until the end of the year. It's tight because you missed the first event of this round from July. Thank you for this. As long as the event tickets remain relatively easy to get I'll keep at it, aiming for the gryphon ala that plan, and the house. I am NOT buying Blackwood, I don't need to spend that kind of money when I'm already on ESO+. The biggest obstacles will be my attention span, if I do any holiday traveling (if events land on holidays) and if Zenimax decides to gently caress around and mess with this plan. We'll see!

The witches fest and new life tickets will be easy to get, those are annual repeat events aim to be inclusive. If the November event is undaunted you have to complete a dungeon, that's a little harder but shouldn't be hard, especially if you group up. If it's something else then it's up in the air, but event tickets are generally pretty easy to get. The November event may or may not overlap thanksgiving, but the New life festival will go from mid december to early Jan, so it'll overlap. But those quests are pretty short. Edit: Oh, I should add, the last day of tickets is an 8 hour day, from 2AMEST to 10AM EST, so getting those last two tickets can be a bit annoying depending on your timezone. You can predo the appropriate quests and not turn them in, which means you only need to login and turn in and can get them done in a couple of minutes.

Browse your achievements to see what else you can grind. Each day do the three pledges and the delve daily. You pick those up at the undaunted camp. I go to the one just sw of the main city in Grahtwood.

My mounts kinda suck. Can I buy that Dwarven spider thing somewhere or is it a reward? It is the only one that looks believable in its animation at high speed rank (like a skuttling insect). I am really enjoying scrying and it seems an organic way to gather crafting resources and find zone quests I might have missed.

On the subject of mounts - there's a surprisingly low, low amount of mounts you can get in game. But like, a billion you can buy, heh. At least the seals thing exists too if you want one of those. But I have no idea on the Dwarven spider thing - I really doubt it's in-game though. There's some YT videos with in-game collectible mounts and pets, and for mounts it's like...3 or something. Pets aren't much better, but they're better. I too enjoy scrying! It's a silly set of minigames, and the "keen eye: treasure" thing might be nice for dungeon runs. It's chill. If you're trying to find missing quests btw, there's some addons to help.

This one: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Baandari_Dwarven_Spider It's from a crate. The crate just came back last month, so even if you wanted to gamble it's a long ways away. I think there are like 7 mounts you can earn at any time: The free horse at level 10, four other horses for 40k, an antiquities Ebon Dwarven Wolf, and Sunspire Champion Senche-Lion which requires a bunch of difficult group achievements. There are also the event earnable mounts. Last two years had a bunch of them, all reskins of each other, this year there's only the gryphon.

I need a camel! I got a steroid cat with my game purchase but it animates kinda busted. It looks like the running animations from the skyrim werewolf. I am not a big fan of crates. I got a couple with my ESO cash but the rewards were pretty lame. Though now my character has tattoos under the armor and can blow bubbles! I want that Dwarven ride though. Too bad there isn't a levitation mount where they replace the horse model with a mote of dust.

One thing I really do like is the companion. I only have the dark elf woman, but it makes the game a little more alive. She does say some predictably repetitive lines, but she also has a ton of unique reactions to things in story arcs as asides or locations you visit. She also makes a joke about being glad about not carrying your junk. Also her stuns almost feel overpowered. I am using her with medium armor and bow.

So the main thing I've been wanting to do in ESO is just kind of be chill, take my time, and enjoy quests. Then I found myself just rushing through side quests. Then I realized I hadn't done any questing in like a week or more. I'd just started playing it like a normal MMO - doing the daily crap, focusing on gear upgrades, etc. So last night I decided to make myself play it more like an Elder Scrolls game, and start on Morrowind (not completely true - years back I did some of the intro stuff, but I was to the point where Vivec is sending me out into the island). I'm glad I did! Made myself even play in first person! Having EQ roots, I actually love playing MMOs in first person - it's way more immersive - although it's definitely worse from a performance / awareness standpoint on every level. Thankfully the single player is easy enough that it's not an issue, although the bosses in Morrowind are definitely tougher than the base game. Just means they take 4 spells to die to instead of 2. You can tell how much first person is tacked on though. I installed the "immersive horse riding" addon so I could stay in first person. Things reset my first person viewpoint all the time, it feels like. Obviously the mount addon does - it doesn't remember and put you back very well, but sometimes I feel like i get kicked out of FP just doing other things too. But I'm not a crazy person, I do go back to third for like, the daily random dungeon.

I play first person too and I find myself just walking around a lot because that's just how I played the other games. I didn't like riding in the other games because of forced 3rd person. I find avoiding the red circles on the ground a bit difficult for boss fights but whatever my build feels broken easy.
