Maybe this is a good idea to ask a dumb returning player question- I haven’t crafted anything in years and wanted to make some blue Julianos armor. I was using Dogulbon’s Lazy Set Crafter and had plenty enough mats to make the five pieces, but once I hit start it made two of them blue, one green, and two white. They had clearly been blue in the queue. Any idea what happened? E- I meant “a good time” but then the server came back so I was wrong anyway

Did they gently caress with the graphics? Seems more muddy all of a sudden. Update also completely broke my Custom Idle Animation setup across all characters.

But, yeah the gameplay hasn't changed, it's just been streamlined. It's easy enough to ignore the other players most of the time, however.

WEIRD looks like it just didn't automatically upgrade a bunch of the stuff, but thankfully because of how crafting works in ESO you can just upgrade those by hand and you won't have lost anything

They had clearly been blue in the queue. not sure how up to date lazy set crafter is, but that sounds like it's out of date (not uncommon so recently after a major update) since tales of tribute is new and i haven't posted in forever i thought i'd try and give a run down after my testing on PTS last month. im not an expert but maybe written down might help anyone trying to get into it besides watching any number of youtube videos it's daunting at first to be sure and the tutorial just gives you a very basic run down. i'll try my best first off this is not a game like MTG or if you're familiar with it TES:Legends. while you can collect new decks and upgrade cards it's a bit more like poker than it is where you're stacking the deck in your favor. new decks you unlock or cards you upgrade will be shared with your opponents potentially and a big part of the game is changing strategies when you need to the most basic rules are you have three resources gold (yellow points) prestige (blue) and power (red) you have cards that can give either yellow points or red points. yellow points buys you cards. red points convert to blue points at the end of your turn. you need 40 or more blue points to win unless your opponent matches you and then its sudden death until someone ends up with more blue points the other way to win is to flip all four patrons to favorable for you. this is a lot easier with npcs cause they're kind of stupid so keep that in mind grinding out earlier ranks if you dont want to play other players. all patrons have different conditions to become favorable (yellow points, red points, sacrificing cards) hover over them and they'll tell you what the cost is ------------------------------------------------------ at this point you're probably going to want to have to have played a few easy hands with npcs or it'll get very lost on you: the biggest thing to conceptualize is each deck (patron) has a theme and a lot of basic strategies are stacking your hand (by selecting only those cards from the middle row each turn so your future hands are increasingly likely to have more of those cards) you do this because of combos, the more of the same patron you play in a hand the more effects happen. for example one of the starter decks is the crow court (purple border). playing just one may get you one gold coin. but depending on the cards if you play three or more purple cards you'll get 3 combos on the cards with combos which kind of snowball. there's 8 decks but you only start with 4 and until you do a lot of tribute or unlock the decks (through quests, killing bosses, etc whatever) these are the four youll be looking at so ill go over the general strategies. the simplest thing is to go all in on with one right now, with few people knowing how to play the strategy will probably work but eventually you want to be flexible crows (purple) : probably the best starter strategy deck. most the cards are cheap, individually they suck, but they have combos that if you get 3 or more in your hand can have you doubling your hand easily (like a murder of crows) pick them up every tun if you can and by the end you'll be spamming cards and points in your favor. st pellin (red) : lots of red point cards, but wide range between amazing and just okay. your opponent and you will be fighting over these harder to stack cards but has a lot of cards that prevent opponents red points turn into winning points hlaalu(gold): tricky deck because hlaalu cards are very expensive but if you can afford them. enough hlaalu agents you can buy out with their combo abilities the entire middle row before you spend a single coin. patron also let's you sacrifice cards for power the higher the cost of the card the more you earn psijic cards (blue): low level npcs love these no one else does but they do draw out turns. a lot of combos that reshuffle endlessly. has some combos that let you force the opponent to remove cards (of their choosing) not my favorite. good because its the one patron you can stonewall a four patron loss cause it requires you to field an agent (which i didnt get to sorry) to turn favor so yeah its more like poker. have a strategy but be open to changing it on how the cards dealt changes. you can pick two decks yourself that gives you a good starting point but the best players will be able to work with any deck as circumstances change

to clarify hlaalu deck is very expensive but if you luck into a full hlaalu hand also gives some of the highest gold (yellow point) returns, so you can buy up a bunch of other high priced deck cards from the opponent then sacrifice them for power later as a hlaalu would

Got the itch to play again with the new expac drop, but I'm honestly bored to death of my Necro and want to start anew. I know this is highly subjective but is there any class people consider more fun/solo friendly than others? I don't have much desire to do any group content outside the dungeon queue so no raiding or anything like that. Preferably melee since I am sick of fire staff lol.

So how's the expansion? I bounced around early Blackwhatever but this one at least seems prettier and apparently has companions who aren't total dinks now? I'm not much into Bretons (really was hoping for a Redguard theme) but not, like, OPPOSED to their bullshit being front and center, does this one do anything neat with the most generic humans in ES?

It’s a shame though right? ESO is perfect for the 40 year old with kids demographic who get the odd half hour of gaming here and there, so I would have thought it would be more popular with goons in 2022.

I joined thinking it was SA goons, but it’s not. I can shoot you an invite to any of those!

my big hangup is the awful combat, feels like rear end to me, all the light and heavy attacking, just let me auto attack and hit a button every so often like other mmos. ive hit like level 20 several times before losing interest because of it

I quit wow after wrath and went back again to level a character and believe you me, the predictable content is a blessed relief after that hot mess. It's so bad that they are having to roll back all the skill tree stuff right back to wrath, and on top of that are also releasing wrath classic. Although if they do fix that skill shite then at least they didn't ruin battlegrounds so I'll maybe sub once in a while for those. ESO is just the best for casuals, I don't think the end game is going to be worth sticking around for, but I'll happily pick it up again expansion after expansion. The big big draw is that with crafting I'm not locked out of poo poo I paid for just because I'm not HARDCORE, and also I've never been called names by a 14 year old warrior in ESO.

I like to weave attacks with my sorc since I actually learned how, but I don’t bother with it on any other characters.

And if all you're interested in is questing then just making a build, any build, that has some kind of cohesion, will get you enough power to get through even just light attacking or just spamming on spell. The game has a gigantic power gap, but all you need to do is get up to mediocre to handle most of the content.

Saying eso combat is better than wow’s is a take I didn’t think I’d ever see. WoW is still the gold standard when it comes to combat responsiveness and how it feels to play, every game released since then has felt like you’re wading through mud when you push buttons.

ESO combat feels good on a controller where the feedback + weaving rhythm feel really responsive. I do wish they’d leaned into that a bit more, and given the animations room to breathe. It feels real silly that my guy never finishes doing a thing before he’s doing the next. And yeah a more difficult open world (or even a mythic item that acted like a difficulty boost) would get me back into the game in a big way.

ESO challenge mode: Start naked with no skills no CP, nothing. Every time you die you can do one of the following: slot 1 piece of gear Fill out one skill passive Slot on active skill Allocate points one CP node Slot one CP node Add 5 points to health/mag/stam respec allocating only the same amount of things you have at the moment. Every time you beat an enemy with over 300k health, whether alone or in group, remove one of the above.
