I was thinking of trying out ESO but it's a bit discouraging. Can a solo player get anything cool or are they just boxed out from most of the game?

I said come in! posted:Ooh no! You get access to pretty much the entire game. It's very solo friendly in my opinion. The biggest selling point of ESO is all of the solo quests and stories. It really is designed as an Elder Scrolls game that just happens to have some multiplayer in it. Private Speech posted:It's 90% a solo game actually, and 9% of the other 10% is pub groups. Basically only the raid-equivalents or the open-world PVP (and even that doesn't require it as such) really need a group. Thanks! That's good to hear. Is it impossible to get a house or somewhere to store all your crap or is that possible with some work?

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Everything is possible with some work. Houses in general are quite accessible, however their primary purpose is decoration. House storage exists, but requires time investment to be able to buy in game, but it's not hard. Bank storage is available right away, though. Thank you! This will be very helpful. I only played a few hours of ESO a few years ago so I'm going in pretty blind to all of its systems and what nots.

Thanks, guys for telling me a bit about the game. I'm really enjoying it even though I'm only a baby level 21. I got ESO Plus and wow the craft bag is great. I'm not sure how you could play without it. I guess you could but it would be a forever hassle. edit: I'm still leery about selling some stuff that makes up the sets and things since I'm not exactly sure how all that work, but at least I have some space for it for now. 1glitch0 fucked around with this message at 10:59 on Dec 19, 2021 |

Fruits of the sea posted:+ That's good to know. I'm getting used to selling/deconstructing things that appear special. I'm only level 30. I also have questions about guilds. I've just started trying to buy things from guilds and is there like some easy way to comparison shop or to find a guild store that sells in lower quantities? Like I need only a couple dozen of something which I don't think are particularly rare I just haven't come across a lot of them, but the prices seem really high per item and also everywhere I've checked are selling them in stacks of like a hundred, when I need nothing like that amount as a dumb baby 30. Mustang posted:Unless you plan on doing a bunch of veteran dungeons and trials you don't even really need to worry too much about which sets you're using. They all mostly have pretty neat and useful effects, especially with the full 5 piece bonus. Use whichever one sounds the coolest or works with your playstyle the best, even if it's not the most optimal. Mix and match sets, the full bonus requires only 5 pieces and you obviously have way more than 5 equipment slots. I'm hoping to do that stuff but it's obviously a long ways off for me! I'm going to start some of the battlegrounds stuff, but I don't have a mic and kinda expect everyone to yell at me for sucking.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:On pc there's tamriel trade centre, a website that compiles many prices and makes things searchable and filterable, but your microphone comment makes me think you're on console, in which case no, there's no easy way to comparison shop. You can use the TTC website to give you a sense of relative rarity, things that are cheap on PC will be cheap on console and vice versa, but the actual price numbers won't correspond. Something that's 20k on PC might be 10k on a different platform. Even NA/EU have different economies. Thanks. I'm learning more about how it all works.

I'm about to hit 50 and have no idea how the CP are going to work. I also just started playing PvP for the first time ever in a game. My teams did pretty good without any helpful contributions on my part!

Peaceful Anarchy posted:The first bunch of CP levels go fast. Just dump points into the passives and you won't go wrong. Each individual CP point is pretty worthless, but they add up. When you get high enough or stop finding passives that seem worthwhile, you can stop and take a look at the slottables. If you do that too early you'll just be frustrated by not being able to actually put points into things that seem interesting. So can you shed some like on if the CP levels fill the same stuff like my slottables and stuff I unlock now, or is it an entirely different tree?

Peaceful Anarchy posted:It's entirely different. That makes a lot of sense, thanks for that! So do the skyshards still go to my regular skill tree I have now? I'm almost to 50 now and I don't have nearly everything unlocked on this tree that I want...

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Yeah, skyshards and quests and dungeons still go to the normal skills. This is extremely helpful. Part of the fun of the game has been to discover how to play it since it gives you virtually no guidance.

Diephoon posted:Normal (non DLC) dungeons are so trivial you can steamroll them with a gaggle of clueless newbies. If you have at least one high Champion level player in your group they will probably solo the whole thing if you let them. Speaking as a clueless newbie I can confirm I have had no problem beating a dungeon with 3 other clueless newbies.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:PTS is up, account wide achievements are fully account wide. Progress for counting achievements (kill x things, learn x things, do x dailies) is account wide. So the grindy achievements are much less grindy for people who play multiple characters. I feel like I don't like this, although I'm new so maybe I'm missing something. Why would anyone want this? It seems like it takes a lot of the fun out of multiple characters if when you start up a new character they've already accomplished everything. Also, I just hit 300. Is there really that much difference between a 300 character and like a 2000 character. There doesn't seem to many big leaps with the champion points to make you that much better. But again, I know very little.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:It is being quite badly received. There are multiple things people want, this implementation does one of them while obliterating the rest. Right now one time rewards are (skins, dyes, etc), but titles and the achievements aren't. Good to know. Also I might not be using my champion points correct. My main character is just a hodgepodge of whatever I think is good. My alt is the one where I'm actually following a guide and trying to optimize. But I still haven't gotten to any of the dlc or anything so everything I'm doing is still basic.

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Other than the two water ones (Nirnroot and Water Hyacinth) no. Pretty sure any flower node can give any flower. The key to them is that they're hard at the beginning, but they give back more than they take, so eventually you get enough to not need to search things out. I'm really enjoying the stories my hirelings tell me. An unexpected treat.

PSA for anyone who isn't playing regularly. There is a surprise event going on where you get double the XP, gold, and stuff from nodes due to Zenimax breaking dungeons on PC with the newest update.

So once you're at a somewhat high level and have the fighters/mage/undaunted lines all maxed is there any reason to do the dailies for them? It doesn't seem worth the xp/gold for the effort. Am I missing something?

Peaceful Anarchy posted:Hope you've got bank space or a good trading guild, because Jubilee will dump you full of style pages, and if you don't have ESO+ it'll also dump you full of mats. You mean dupe style pages? Those probably won't sell for much during the event, right? I have ESO+ so bring on the mats. I've become part of two pretty good trading guilds somehow, but I've barely dabbled in selling stuff. I want to do more of it, tho.

Does anyone know how the loot drops work for the festival? Like what motifs are included? Do super rare ones drop or is it just stuff you can buy in a guild store for a couple thousand gold? I got one that claimed it came "from the rarest of chests in Vvardenfell" but I haven't been there yet and don't know if the game is mocking me or not. I've also gotten what could be described as "enough" spider legs. Doctor Zero posted:Here’s my Main. Bosmer Warden - Loolea. Yeah I know it’s a standard costume but it looks perfect on her so I never change it. She’s also the shortest the sliders will go. I’ve been playing variations of her in MMOs since launch EQ.

I think there could be some fun with more sets of different numbers of pieces. As for the card game: They said an average game would take about 20 minutes which seems way, way too long. Also each player has 90 seconds (!) to make a move. Hence the game taking like 20 minutes. I can see them cutting that down to 30 seconds a move real quickly.
