Yeah you can use a pad on PC. It's the only way I can tolerate playing it honestly.

I just started playing this week and in retrospect I should have just dropped group, but I just had the most boring-rear end dungeon run of all time. Normally these things rake like 10 minutes but I swear to god none of the other 3 people were pressing buttons and it took 45. Every boss took 10 mins to basically kill by myself. Zzzzzzzzz

Last time I did a dungeon queue the tank blamed everyone for being slow while he did nothing but hit the taunt button and guard the entire time.

This is going to sound like an absolutely stupid question, and I don't know how best to put this, and I fully admit it's a stupid question, but what sort of build would be the most "Lina Inverse"? Sorc of some kind, I guess?

Wikipedia says "Lina Inverse is a young yet very powerful sorceress travelling the world in search of adventure and treasure" so a sorc build, yes. I dunno what her powers are, but you can compare them to this: https://eso-skillbook.com/skilltree/sorcerer and see if you can copy the skills. Staff skills would be fire, lightning, ice, or healing.

Yeah, I guess the thing is she mainly casts using her hands and is decent with a sword. I guess 1H&S and a fire staff and just try to pretend the shield isn't there lol

GMG has a sale on - what edition of Greymore or Blackwood do I need to buy if I only have the base game and want the other expansions? It's not especially clear.

Blackwood is the upcoming expansion, and is not on sale.

Well it is but it's just the 15% so it's probably a preorder discount thing.

Thanks for that though!

It likely won't matter for standard dungeons anyway as long as you make some effort to keep your taunt up. Veteran and trials might be a different matter but you can worry about that if and when you get to that.

Does anyone here play from Australia? Is it even playable? I'm in Sydney and when I ping the server I am getting constant 300 plus which is bad even for a MMO.

I'm in western Sydney and I use a VPN to get my ping down to like, 180? I can work with that but I don't do any hard poo poo or PVP.

Man it sucks when two not-50s get matched with two 1200s and the 1200s just spring through and pull everything to the end while the newbies die and have to wait till combat ends at the same time the entire instance does and get no loot/EXP other than the random dungeon bonus

How is the game on PS4? In particular, are the controls any good? Any classes that are more ideal for a PS4 controller scheme?

I mostly play pad on PC and the only thing that's annoying really is bar switching is on the d-pad. Ults and synergies are on a two button press thing but I don't think I've ever had one fail.

I can't say anything to the performance on PS4 but do note that PC/Xbox/PS4 all have separate servers and there's no addon support for console.

TIL that if you're in the middle of a public dungeon, and your dungeon finder group pops, when you're done it sets you outside the public dungeon and you gotta go through it again :(

You'd think I'd eventually learn not to do this, but, well.

1. Create account, confirm account, log in, create character, close. Repeat X9
2. Go to your main account, create guild. Send invites to your 9 accounts.
3. Log in to each of the 9 accounts again, accept the guild invite.
Congrats, you now have a 500 slot guild bank.

You need to create the characters before you can send the guild invite. You don't need to actually do the tutorial.

You obviously need 9 email addresses to do this, you can use the . trick in gmail so that anonymous@gmail.com and an.ony.mous@gmail.com both work but ESO sees them as different. Or make new emails, or some combo of both.
You can't do this in steam, but the steam install works as a stand alone client, so you don't need to redownload anything.
It'll be in Steam\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client ESO64.exe
You don't even need to close steam to do this. If your computer is powerful enough you can even have your main account running and logged in, while doing it, running two instances of the client, saving you a few minutes by weaving the steps so you can do create, send invite, close and not have to log in to each account twice.

Everyone is allowed 5 guilds, so you could also team up with 4 other people, each make 2 alt accounts and have them all join your guilds. Or do all the work and give four other people who are less willing to waste 20 minutes a free guild bank.

I had to use https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/free-trial instead of the other register account link, otherwise the trial wasn't added to the account and I couldn't log in. Just FYI I guess.

I think you might be able to click "already have an account" to enable the free trial, but I changed the link just in case, I did all this a year ago.

Yeah I tried that too and it just took me to a help page saying "yeah you can log in!" when I couldn't and there was no Trial activated on the account. So I made ten accounts instead of nine :v:

I can't decide if I want to be a DPS or a healer so I'm being both. If this is wrong too bad I'll make a better character next time. (I love casting that heal spell as I run around hitting things!)

The game's freeform enough that you can just chuck a Resto staff and a few skills on your Bar2 and queue as a healer and that'll be fine, respeccing is stupid easy and encouraged
