You also are able (I think) to choose any class/race combo on any faction with the Imperial Edition.  Or was that also only a pre-order thing?

IE:  Dark Elf on Aldmeri Dominion, High Elf on Ebon Pact....etc.

With Imperial Edition I can choose any faction with the Imperial. Any other race is stuck with their faction. Not sure if it is different for pre-order.

That was a pre-order Explorer's Pack thing.

Jatobi, having a couple of issues.

1) some items don't even give me the option to enchant
2) applied your enchants to a couple of items and it looks like they didn't take (stats same pre and post enchant)

If you see a little lock on the item, that means the existing enchant can't be replaced.  The only other reason would be that the enchant is too high or too low a level for the item.

Enchants don't change the stats of the item, just the enchant.  If you want to improve the stats, you have to have a crafter enhance the item, and even then it doesn't change the item level, just the rarity/quality.  Since the mats to do that aren't tiered, I would think it wouldn't be worthwhile until you're max level, save the upgrade mats for high level stuff you'll be more likely to keep awhile.

Ok, I'll look for the lock when I get back in. Don't recall seeing it. Wasn't trying to enhance, only use some enchants.

Has anyone made a legendary anything with the training trait to level alts with?  Just curious.  If they aren't bound items, would be fun to make a full set to pass around.  1 piece of each armor type, the rest heavy, enchant them all with health or regen.

No, though I don't see the point in wasting legendary tempers just for a couple points worth of bonus to the trait. And just for the heck of it, I had a level 37 sword and I put it in the upgrade slot to see what it would come out to be... It was literally about 5 more damage and a tiny bit more valuable.

FWIW, it takes me 8 legendary tempers for a 100% upgrade chance at max level/max perk smithing. And armor skill lines are meh, you're better served with a different trait.

You know, I really wanted to get into the Sorcerer but damn it feels "slow" to me.  I feel like I'm not doing any damage, and feel like if someone coughs on me I die.

Dunno, maybe it's not for me.

I'm a sorcerer and things tend to get all explodey when I show up. What trees/weapons/armor?

ETA: Shit speeds up quick when you get the crystal shards insta cast proc morph. Zap, zap, blast, zap, zap, blast, zap, zap BOOM!

The crystal shards insta cast probably only helps down the line, dont have many spells that have a cast time except that one....

Was light armor and a destro staff.

I'm light armor and destro staff.

First, play a Breton.  2nd, ignore all advice about capping...put points in magicka.  Most of them, in fact.  No stamina, maybe every 3rd point to health.  Unlike the other classes, your damage is based on skill level and magicka, not on your weapon...your weapon is pretty much there to look pretty for about the first 40 levels or so.

Pets are for faggots.  Ignore that skill tree.  Crystal shard, crystal shard, lightning their ass, loot.

To be perfectly honest...I may suck and just not know it....but I can take on 3 or 4 higher level enemies and barely get a scratch.

Yep, I just hit Vet1 and I'm 26/12/11. I only have so much in Health/Stam because I'm a heavy armor melee sorcerer.

That guy is a douchebag.

Man, soul savior was a bitch! 6v1 was common, and a lot of times another group of 6 would pile in and it would be 12v1.

I must have burned like 5 gems after being killed.

Ha. Just wait till you fight Molag Bal. I probably burned 5 soul gems... On the trash mobs. (And you WILL want to use your gems if you die on trash. They respawn if you way shrine res.)

I did my Sorc a little different...I made her an Imperial, for one thing. They get big bonuses to Health and Stamina, so I put all Attribute points into Magika and let Health and Stam take care of themselves until I hit soft cap on Magicka, then start putting points into Stamina. Why? Dark Conversion, that's why. Drains Stamina and gives Magicka and Health...also because blocking and interrupting uses Stamina also.

Don't ignore the Summoning tree entirely, the Charged Storm Atronarch Ultimate ability is a badass bosskiller...at least early on. Don't know about VR levels, ain't got there yet.

Be sure to get Silver Bolt and Intimidate from the Fighters Guild skill line. Silver Bolt makes Undead and Daedric mobs cake. Knocks them down, stuns them, and has a chance to insta-kill.  Intimidate and Persuade from the Mages Guild will save you much running around while questing, well worth the 2 point investment.

Also, get Inner Light and morph to Mage Light from the Mages Guild...adds 20% spell crit, 'nough said.


On another note...does anyone know of an addon that will alert me to when the insta-cast Crystal Shards procs? Or am I missing an interface option?

Just watch your hands. They glow purple when your instant hatred bolt is ready.

I play 3rd person 100% of the time, first person makes me wanna hurl chunks

I'll watch for the glowy hands thing then, thanks.

I play 3rd person most of the time too. It's fairly obvious once you realize what it is.

Going to be down for the count for a few days or so.

Got pneumonia.  Got real sick last night, got worse this morning.  Went to the Doc and chest xray confirmed.

No energy to do shit.  Been in bed most of the day, got up to eat and take my medicine, thought I'd post.

This shit sucks!

ESO bad for your health confirmed!

Suck it up and buy a laptop. Perfect opportunity to get VR10!

Woohoo! 5 days free game time!

Also, I found this on the website. Some of these look absolutely badass.




And Page 14 is mine!

You mean they are actually adding actual "elder scrolls" mechanics to the game?  ZOMG!

lol, can't wait.

What's this 5 free days you said on last page?

You should have gotten an email about it... But it's basically for all that emergency downtime.

Thieves Guild... I want a free respec damnit!

You're what... level 16? It'll be cheap

9 actually  I already respec'ed my Crafter... Hey we can't all afford to race to VR10

Race? Who's racing? I've only managed VR1

You're ahead of me...I've got a bad case of alt-itis, my highest level character is a level 38 Templar, with a 23 Sorc and a 16 DK currently taking up my playtime...and with my 'run around and poke into everything' playstyle, I'm not exactly quick at leveling.

It's all good though, I'm having fun and that's what matters.

With the crime and punishment thing...I'm gonna be in trouble constantly, I'm always going into homes and reading their books and stealing their food and stuff.

That's more of the killing guards/NPCs thing from Skyrim than it is helping yourself to food and knowledge.

Are you tired of spamming esc or enter when launching the game and going to logging screen because of Intro videos?
This is the guide for you.
Close the game and Launcher (IMPORTANT)
Navigate to: Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/UserSettings
Open UserSetting.txt
Search for line:
SET SkipPregameVideos "0"
Set "0" to "1"
It should look like this:
SET SkipPregameVideos "1"
You are set, you can Start launcher and enjoy fast start to logging menu without intro videos.

Having to spam click stuff before I even got to the game was getting rather annoying.

So it seems, to me, that there are people cheating their asses off in PvP.

Now I know I'm not the toughest character, really.  But you don't simply run up and 1 shot a VR1.  You just don't.

Same dude has done it time and time again.  Is sitting there and letting 13+ people wail on him and he isn't taking damage.

It's retarded.

Not to mention the whole part where I can't switch weapons on demand.  Hit button, doesn't do shit.  Then decides to swap at the last second right before I die.  Too fucking late to swap weapons fucker!

What's up with weapon swaps?  Can't switch, so I can't heal or use any offense abilities.  Anyone else having issues weapon switching?  Out of combat it works fine.  In combat it just doesn't do shit.

LOL...these instructions were posted on reddit before the game was even released...then the post very quietly disappeared.  Have a feeling the dev didn't like the loss of advertising.  Glad you found 'em, because I had the link bookmarked and when I went to follow them, they were fone.

NB can build up 6300 single shot damage.

Switching weapons midfight? That sounds like a bad idea. Being able to do it instantly in the middle of a fight isn't exactly believeable.

It wasn't a nightblade.  It was a DK, just like myself.

Switching weapons midfight, being able to do it instantly of a fight isn't exactly believable?  I don't care if its believable, it's what the company made the game able to do.  You are able to switch weapons simply by hitting a button.  HOWEVER, it just doesn't want to work when in PvP.  Sounds to me like a latency issue with the PVP server.  Shit lags to hell in there.

Jester, you ought to pass it up the chain to make your backup weapons visible at all times on your back. Would look more realistic than pulling a staff out of your ass (when it works)

What's worse? A staff, two handed long sword, or a giant mace?

Hm.. Staff is pretty long, sword is sharp though... And the mace is spiky. Gonna have to go with the mace for $200, Alex.

Depends on the style.  Khajit staff?  No fucking way, not with that giant crescent head.

Y'all burn out?

No one to play with.

Working too much lately. Should be on some time this weekend.

Time expired and have been working overtime the past 3 days to make up lost time from pneumonia.

Will renew on Friday when I'll have time to play.
