If you buy this on steam does it give you a key to punch into ESO's website or does it actually register it through steam to that steam account?

Obviously you can do whatever if you can make it work. I roll a hybrid DPS Sorcerer with good Crowd Control, and also ran a Healer Sorcerer a while back, both of which are very effective at what they were meant to do.

[*]Dark Magic is the control and self-buff tree for Sorcerers, allowing for knockdowns, roots and self-healing. The ultimate ability of Dark Magic is Negate Magic, which dispels enemy placed effects in an area while stunning and damaging monsters.

What kind of self-buffs? Can I be a plate-wearing, hammer-swinging Lizard Wizard that makes himself swole as gently caress?

What kind of goofy poo poo can I do in this game? I'm going to buy it tomorrow.

e: I am a big sucker and proponent for the TSW/GW2 style of b2p with optional Extra poo poo so I am super hype.

I found the answer to this online and it's nope. Guess it's $64 from GMG then! Was hoping to have a Filipino friend buy it for me.

Yep this worked perfectly fine. Now just waiting for the site to be off maintenance too. If anyone has SEA friends and wants the game cheap they pay half what US does!

I plan on playing again and don't feel like re-rolling so I will stay DC.
Goons are the worst when it comes to picking a faction and sticking to it, faction based games are also stupid. This game is stupid.

I'll be on DC too since I have a few goon friends who still play on there actively. So you won't be completely alone!

People that pre ordered the game can play any faction with any race but if I just bought the game I don't get to choose whatever race I want ? That kind of sucks, but whatever, should I roll on ebonheart for goon action?

This game is cool as gently caress. I am completely and utterly lost and have no idea what's going on. I saved a king from being murdered, I found a tower full of bandits and killed them and stole their poo poo. I almost died to a Limbscather or something.

It's nice playing an MMO and being lost and confused for the first time in years and actually having to look around and pay attention.

I started on Daggerfall due to friends but I'll probably make a character on Ebonheart later too, since I want to try all the classes.

e: vvv I get that. I think you're misreading what I said.

One thing I do like about this game us that it doesn't have traditional quest hubs and chains. The quest branch out and force you to wander around in a sort of unique way.

Depends if Reggin is gonna play or not, because that dude makes every game fun. Still holding on to fond memories of Wushu and batman squad.

I may have missed this in the OP, what's the best place to buy this cheaply?

GMG almost always has a 20% off coupon available. There's also steam sales (has gone as low as -67%), or making friends who live in SEA.

I don't really like the newbie islands since they feel much more 'on rails' than everything else, for me at least. Is there any major benefit (skyshards aside) to completing them?

I was having way more fun just aimlessly exploring and finding random people and helping them.

Bow NB is hilarious in PVP.

I'm that motherfucker that hits you and your best friends with a forty to eighty percent movement speed debuff when you're trying to flee into the castle as a huge zerg approaches.

What abilities do you use? I'm a Bosmer NB and I was thinking of like:

Lethal Arrow
Piercing Mark
Crippling Grasp
Anti. Cav Caltrops
Scorched Earth (for lack of a better idea)

No idea on ult.

Does Piercing Mark break you out of sneak when you use it?

To be a werewolf I can either do a lovely quest or ask a cool goon to come bite me in the low level EP zones, right?

If so, someone bite me please. :v:

If you're a cool dude who wants to become a werewolf, I recommend completing the Hircine quest and then staying in his hunting grounds. As soon as you finish it, you get the ability to transform. As long as you're in the hunting grounds, you have permanent werewolf.

Each kill gives you 5 points, there are 21 enemies in here that respawn, and it takes 225 kills to max out your Werewolf line. You also get okay exp and it counts toward your currently equipped weapon/armor types. About an hour of your time will max that line out and you never have to worry about it again!

Thanks to the cool guy in game who gave me this tip.

e: You also get a poo poo ton of scraps and other random drops.

This is completely wrong, just so you know. Werewolves and vampires are available as early as level 15.

I got bitten at level 9 and my werewolf skill was maxed by level 10. :v:

My favorite choice so far is: Do I make a guy who exchanged his servitude for power go back to his ugly harpy crow thing 'wife', do I kill her because apparently she manipulated him into being magically bound to her for eternity, or do I kill them both because gently caress it you're both poo poo.

I made him go back to his ugly crow wife and they started bickering like a married couple. And she was all like 'ohhh your son can come live with us in the tower!'

So...Elder Scrolls online f2p; worth it, not worth it? Does anyone have an opinion on pros and cons? Also...how easy would it be to dick around and solo? I wouldn't mind chatting and palling around with Goons or other people, but I...am notoriously bad at teamwork. I hate partying and I hate raiding. I can be moved to do those two things on a good day, but mostly I just like messing around and doing things at a very slow pace while enjoying being with friends and such.

If I'm in a party, it is incredibly likely that I'll forget what I'm doing, forget orders, or forget to help. ((I should absolutely not be allowed to heal people. ))

I've wanted to try this out for a while and I'm willing to now that it's gone somewhat free.

I am playing this game as a single player elderscrolls game except there happen to be other adventurers in the world. And, much like most npcs, they are either helpful or complete assholes.

The lack of sub and lack of 'urgency' is one of the reasons I picked ESO up. Aside from binging a bit during my 3 day weekend I've been playing like an hour a day, if that, and making significant progress (in my mind, not necessarily compared to 'modern mmo standards').

Also the game does a REALLY good job at throwing you incremental upgrades and progression, so you feel like, even if you just farted around an hour exploring and stealing things, you did something.

Tsurupettan: Mar 26, 2011; My many CoX, always poised, always ready, always willing to thrust.

It is worth checking out the dungeons. At least, the 3 I did as a clueless newbie around level 10-12ish were fun and interesting. We did two of them one man down.

But yeah, I am really enjoying this as someone who is super explicitly trying to move away from raiding and shackling myself to a schedule of a video game.
