Should I only be doing quests that are equal or greater than my level, or is it worth it to do lower stuffs?

I'm finishing up the main quest now, having done every quest and all exploration/killing in every area (except fighters guild), no pvp and no group dungeons. Typically I've been 1-2 levels ahead of the quests/mobs, then 2-3 towards the end of each area. Pretty much perfectly balanced for solo play - the perfect MMO!

How's this game for occasional solo PvE-ing? I've been eyeing ESO and kinda want an Elder Scrolls 5.5 game since I'm pretty much done with Skyrim. Are quests interesting or just bear-rear end hauling? I'm not interested in raiding or PvP or anything requiring commitment.

It's brilliant for that, if you ask me. After you complete the main quest, you play through the other two factions' storylines. I've seen people refering to it a weak cop out, but I think it's awesome, and it makes the "solo" part of the game huge.

Speaking of, I just got an achievement for murdering a mommy bear and her cub, slightly off the track in a public dungeon. I was expecting something like Pupkiller/Peacebreaker/Worst Hero, but ended up with another Yourethemannowdog. I guess the game has spoiled me previously.

On my way through gold now, and I have to agree with EP being the least coherent story. But prettiest and best-looking! DC seems to me to have the best characters, with Emeric and that playboy-dude. I also enjoyed Alik'r's smattering of weird quests, and they made the desert look really pretty in places.

Unrelated, anyone else having problems with FTC not registering hits correctly? Even when I seemingly weave perfectly (semi-heavy/force pulse, semi-heavy/crystal frag when it procs), it registers at most half the heavy attacks. Some very light testing suggests this is FTC's fault, as I see the health drop when the heavy attack hits.

e: Ah, it registers force pulse three times, on account of it being three-pronged. Nothing to see here.

How is this game now? I've been craving an online fantasy game for a while. I've between this and FF14. I know FF14 has some good reviews and might more likely be the recommended game, but I did play it for a little while on ps3 and while it seemed alright it didn't really grab me. I'm not expecting a super great game, or for it to be exactly like skyrim or anything. Just something fun to do on and off for a little while. Mostly interested in pissing around and exploring and enjoying the leveling rather than getting into any kind of end game raid stuff.

Same experience with FF14, really enjoying this game. Been playing for 3-4 months, not suffering from burnout related injuries yet. Pissing, exploring and levelling is this game's forte.

The only issue with PC UI addons is worrying about how many of them will stop working with each update. Sure, console players don't have a minimap or detailed health/stamina/magika readouts, but on the flip side, we have a much cleaner and nicer default UI and we don't have nearly as many crash and compatibility problems each update.

Is this another one of the problems from back at launch? I've been playing since october, never updated addons and havent had a single crash or glitch. Playing the game without addons sounds crazy, all those lovely lovely quality of life improvements~~~

Getting V15/16 materials in that quantity is a cake walk. I don't know what you're talking about. I literally sell stacks of them raw because I have an abundance. Just go to Wrothgar and farm for a little bit.

With just VR14 stuff my magdk post buffs I have like, oh, ~28-30k magicka, 2600 spell damage, and 60% spell crit or whatever. That's with five piece of julianos, torugs on shoulders and helm, 5/1/1 for undaunted passive and torugs on my s&b and destro staff. Is that enough to possibly do some VR pledges?

The EU guild is dead (was it ever alive? Do they ever work? I've only seen an EU-version work in vanilla WoW). Join us other yuros/aussies/weirdoes on the NA server. It's usually pretty crowded-ish in the evenings GMT, especially during weekends.

I'm really liking Blast for it's multi target hits. You can spam it to shorten the animation and get decent results. Knockdown is good, too. Though I can see the appeal of Frag if it procs regularly enough.
Crystal frag is ridiculously good. Huge damage and no cast time at half cost. You shouldnt really (well, do whatever you like, but it's not oooptimal) be using blast/frag for dpsing. If you do something like weave light attacks and force pulse, while casting frag when it procs (which is very often), you'll get much better results. If that's your thing~~~

Ahh thanks for all the input. I am to far from end game to even think about materials but it is good to know its a consideration. So I downloaded some addons. Is there a way to know what skill points I 'missed' in a region? For instance if I leave an area and got 2/3 skyshards did 1/2 dungeons and got all the quest skill points, will there be a way to know which dungeon still has a skill point available for me?
There's an achievement in each zone for getting all the skyshards. I think it might also give a rough description or placement?

If you're starting out now it's probably better to sub, considering the number of DLCs. Other than that, it depends how much you like/want the quality of life stuff the sub gets you. 10% exp/stuff, craft bag, and (next update) dyeing costumes and hats. Buying crowns separately is cheaper if you intend to play for a long time, especially if you buy during one of the (rare) sales. I also like that I dont feel forced to play or unsub.
