So is poopsocking, constantly ulting vampire still the PvP thing or is that fad gone and players just want it for not-quite-as-bad cheese.

Dropping my two cents on Nightblade healing, Shadow also has couple healing morphs if you don't want to go Siphon like I did back last year.

Also, some clarification on how pickpocketing works. While the % is pretty clear, I still got caught pretty easy with 75% in Eastmarch but got 50% in Deshaan. Is there some hidden scaling on difficulty or just bane of RNG?

Gaudy tabard sold me, send to account @Gadling on EU server for Ebonheart. Way back it got in the middle of dungeon, but overnight or something it should not interrupt anything.

^ Played Ebonheart yet for Plaguebringer? Fucker's immune to all CC.

They apparently have nifty passive for tanking, and of course you get pretty exclusive crafting style. If that's not your thing, you can just get Explorer's Pack to lift faction-race restrictions or go with three natives.

You can, in fact, get a vampire bite without those roaming spawns - if you side with the daddy in Eastmarch or Rift quest, don't remember which one has it.

And depending on your definition of endgame, two thirds as in other two factions that technically are supposed to be done before Craglorn if it still starts at VR10 or somewhere around that.

Are there any plans for an EU based guild, or does everyone from EU just play on the NA server? I was thinking about EU just to see if I can get any improved performance.

House N'wah is still up and running from launch, but I haven't seen any chat on my log - unless you specifically have to tune into /guild.

You can play as you want, but of course that doesn't translate to optimal playstyle. You can work around those to a degree, like putting emphasis on magicka with attributes and sets like Warlock or Adroitness. I haven't seen any magicka-regen medium or heavy yet personally.

You can still probably ditch that mentality if you want to do Craglorn and some group dungeons seriously, but for casual PvE pretty much anything flies.

House Awful from launch, but usually I'm 100% of members online. If you want to play with goons, you're better off rolling NA - some name editing and copying the folders should make things fairly smooth for switching.

More details on the copy and paste and renaming ?

It goes roughly like this

1. Zenimax folder should have launcher and Elder Scrolls Online, and both(?) have either Elder Scrolls Online or Elder Scrolls Online EU depending on your region
2. You change the relevant folder/file names to appropriate region and then create another Zenimax\etc folder
3. Fire up the launcher, toggle the megaserver and repair

Right now I'm home with my laptop, so check for more accurate guides on the matter.

^ You'll love Mournhold at first then :getin: Not quite as bad as Vivec cantons though.

1. Drag 'n drop, so just pick class skills off if you want to substitute with weapons
2. Set them up in quickslot, it's the second tab next to inventory proper. Hold down and cycle to relevant consumable.
3. Health is always good, but don't focus on it solely and pick magicka/stamina according to your skills.

I can't give any specifics, and this is a little later but Reaper's Mark (don't remember the unmorphed skill, it's either Assassination or Shadow) on single target, kill them from stealth with heavy attack to stun and once they die under the effect, it's a heal for you. Rinse and repeat for burst and sustain.

Whenever I do pledges, it takes anywhere between 15 minutes to hour on average. It looks like it corresponds with whatever the pledge is, with low-level facerolls filling up relatively fast. But yes, biggest issue is that too little people use it.

First phase of Selene is not really hard as long as you have healer to keep whoever's tanking topped off. Second on the other hand... we just mobbed up on her eventually, given that it was scaled to V1 and counting myself it was couple V4s. Longclaw is about hardest boss there, and it took some long kiting of kitties with slowly plinking that murdercat to death.

Whenever I sent my noob rear end to Cyrodiil, it usually meant being three-shot at most from players I assume were wearing min-maxed VR14 gear... so there's that. Might be organized guild too, but without voice comms it's a clusterfuck of AoE bombardment whenever there's actual battle going on.

Being two-shot by some sorcerer killed most of my VR Cyrodiil interest, and I bet that sorcerer was also V12 with min-maxed stats.

Updated after a long while in a couple different batches, now repair is reinstalling the whole game. Is there a quick and dirty fix that doesn't involve doing that all over again, that doesn't need the three manifest files launcher doesn't apparently detect?

Properties also shows Online folder about double the size it's on disk, so it might look at that new copy or something. Fixes for this one?

You can definitely do it on regional level once you're done with starting faction - they're all V1, V2, V3 by then and you won't get oneshotted for wandering to wrong part of the map.
