What champion armor does the dragonknight use on the character creation screen? Every source seems to say it's the ivory brigade set but that doesn't have the fur around the top and the shoulders are too high
the new overland "difficulty" is stupid as fuck. the time you waste with this shit would be better off farming easier stuff faster. this is such a dumb thing to focus on and 95% of this player base won't even do it
>>2510328 The pts changes are locked in and not only did it not get stronger, some things have actually been nerfed. Its not going to be the default top dps anymore. As of right now with u50 its actually being seen as more of a support option than anything. I'd hardly call that overpowered.
and why the fuck did they make shields scale off max health. who is running this ship these days because they are even fucking dumber than before
>>2511621 you get major protection and major berserk when using your ulti. that's absolutely nuts. it has that passive that buffs landslide by 100% damage plus gives you healing increase which is just short of major vitality that stacks with major vitality. it's fucking obscene you won't even need to build damage sets or sustain on dk
and if magsorc even gets a fraction of the buffs dk has gotten the bitch tears will never end. WHY THE FUCK DID THEY NERF MY MAGE'S WRATH YOU FUCKING NIGGERS. HOW IS IT ANY DIFFERENT THAN TEMPLAR BEAM AND NIGHTBLADE EXECUTE? FUCK YOU, YOU RUINED MY CLASS
Sometimes, when khajiit and argonian girls are checking some menu or editing their outfit, I position my camera in such an angle that allows me to focus on their asses or look at their panties if they are wearing skirts.
>>2512237 One of the stronger specs currently. at least stamcro is. Its st is strong, but its cleave is fucking crazy on pts. Both necro and nightblade are looking pretty spicy for u50.
>>2513350 you're not a magsorc player. it was useful because the entirety of magsorc was to set up combos. you drop haunting curse, whittle them down, geta frags proc, throw on wrath, streak in, curse goes off on second tick, hit with frags and another cast of your spammable, wrath finishes the job
but honestly i think i'm done with this game. subtrashing ruined the game, but what's worse is the light attack nerf. you don't even need to weave anymore to dps and one bar heavy attack builds are viable because 90% of eso's players are disabled subhumans. the game simply isn't fun anymore, all the skill, all the stuff that made it interesting is gone. what a joke
>>2513758 I could understand if this was a PvP complaint but it literally makes no difference if the random pug can now hit higher dps, if anything it's an improvement.
>>2516193 Yes it does Resto staff skills on average are way more effective at healing than class abilities. Not using those skills make your build suboptimal
>>2517104 I have rank ~30 toons in every alliance, shit PvP balance and broken gank builds are not something brought on by subclassing. Either way, you've got 10 days before pure NB and pure Sorc are 1tapping you again like you prefer, if you happen to be one of those types assmad that you can't bring your troll tank or latest broken mythic to Vengeance.
>>2519591 samefag here, forgot that the Ult is Glacial Colossus, instead of Renewing Animation. As you apply Major Vulnerability your allies also get Major Force due to Saxhleel Champion's set effect.
why can you make a 40k health, 38k resistances, 20k spell pen, 9000 weapon damage character with 2.3k stamina recovery and 2k magicka recovery? why is this allowed? oh and you're a stage 3 vampire. you are literally a cuck if you're playing anything else
>tfw haven't played this in years I randomly thought about this game the other day and remembered the joy I felt posting in the generals in the summer playing the newly released Elsweyr chapter. The game, and this general, felt alive and fun and it's sad to see both are dying. Every now and then I get the urge to jump in but it always passes. Thank you for reading my blogpost and enjoy gaming frens.
>>2522488 i remember this webbum from many years ago on /vg/. this game has gotten so bad, the dumbest diversity hire morons are now working on it. it's impressive how stupid these people are. i just recently came back a month ago and am just about to stop again, probably for good. the game is such a mess you wouldn't believe the details if i told you
>>2522509 I made it when this general was very active on /vg/ and I bought the Amaya Lake Lodge and was showing off my Guar collection to everyone. It was fun then, the hype for future content was fun and the game still felt fresh. Last I checked it's just on the most pathetic form of life support now >the game is such a mess you wouldn't believe the details if i told you tell me
>>2522521 capped the damage on light attacks so you no longer need to weave to do good dps yet somehow dps has inflated to an insane 170k at the high end. you have this beam attack on the new arcanist class that does 250k damage per cast and it's a beam, no weaving, you just sit there and drool over your keyboard. then they added the ability to combine skill lines from other classes at the expense of one of your skill lines and this has completely ruined pve and pvp. it's not hyperbole when i say that every class plays the exact same in optimal pve now and it's even worse in pvp. in pve every "class" is this aesthetically disgusting build of beam spam, laying down traps and using a two handed sword for the charge ability. it's so gross.
they added a fucking card game no one cares about, they added a roguelite game mode no one cares about with the most obscene grind in the game, we're talking literally over 100 hours of grind here. then they got rid of daily logins and instead added a battlepass. they reworked dragon knight as the first in a plan to rework all classes to fix a problem they created with sub classing being overpowered and now dks are ruining pvp. this is the old tanky dps meta x100, no exaggeration here. you would have to look up how insane dk's abilities and skills are yourself, it's too much to go over here
>gifted the game to a friend since the game is on discount Starting to regret it a bit because the game is shit and it's not getting better. And I might have to babysit him considering this is his first mmo. Oh well at least I wont be so lonely playing and I wont hear him talking about trying WoW or FF14.
The difficulty curve in this game is absurd. Any normal monster group poses no challenge when you're even decently well geared. But when you try to fight a world boss you get oneshot by convoluted mechanics, thus recquiring you to use completely different and expensive builds instead.
No, I won't group up. I can't stand the subhuman playerbase.
>>2524285 World bosses are just basic gear checks, if you have a mildly good build you'll be able to solo them, also, most "oneshots" are blockable or dodgeable so at that point it's a skill issue. If you don't wanna group up in a fucking MMO then that's a you problem. t. autist.
>>2513758 >>2522585 whatever this dumbass complains about is what makes the game even tolerable. go boast about your dps to your homosexuals guild mates. solo play is all that matters to me.
>>2524340 no, don't want to group up just because the developers decided that a you're not allowed to clear content without a party. besides, i was talking about the difficulty curve, not whining about bosses being too hard. i just did the queen's consort in morrowind and upon fighting wuyuvus i couldn't do anything. this had nothing to do with my skill as a player or coming in ill-prepared. being faced with an impossible task (bashing the enemy while you're stunned and and losing hp) during an ordinary fight is poor game design. it wasn't like the screen flashed before fighting it or like in other mmos where it's clear what enemy type you can tackle alone.
it's funny how dead this game is on a friday night. ran into my first pulse ganker in battlegrounds, total subhuman, couldn't figure out left from right, but it didn't stop him from instantly deleting me
>>2526905 The new crate for U50 is on ESO Model Viewer, I imagine it drops early June and gets a separate article. I don't know why they're so stingy about rerunning crates but it looks like the new crate gets to sit in the clown store alone for a few weeks. The June 18th Golden Pursuits should have crown crate rewards though
I decided to download Elder Scrolls Online & give it another chance tonight, took like 6 hours to download and patch. Made it through rooster island after doing all the objectives, it was okay i didn't skip the dialogue that was the best part! combat was sort of boring. Random high level escorting his friend ran up & gave me 100,000 Gold very useful. hopefully don't have to get too high a level for Night Market season 1 activity
What action bar addon is a must have for new player, one that's always showing would be great it currently only appears during combat. Also be nice to have two rows
>>2528271 you can enable your action bar to always show in the settings, i forget specifically where. you probably should start with the action duration mod which shows the time on your skills. i would disable pop ups on that mod
>>2519591 >>2520102 >1 bar healer Why tho? It's the only role that needs a variety of purely situational skills and has no rotation aside from keeping up buffs
Really, really want to like this game. Two weeks in, but goddamn the combat is so fucking bad.
The environments and zone/faction stories are cool, the shit with the prophet/molag bal is pretty fucking lame and gay. None of that is really a problem, but goddamn the combat is BAD. Its such a zero friction snooze fest its pretty crazy.
>>2532043 Not much they can realistically do about the floatyness at this point, but the newer animations do feel a bit snappier and the snoozefest part is getting fixed in about a week with difficulty options.
>>2532125 Yeah, because increased mob damage would be pointless if they still died to a stiff breeze. Player damage is so overkill that they won't even feel that spongy outside vestige.
>mounts can now swim and swim speed increases with mount speed increase >argonian swimming passive now completely useless >argonian's healing passive outdone by any race's 256 damage increase why are my liggers so weak? meanwhile nord is so blatantly overpowered with the most insane passives in the game. where's the balance?
So if I understand well, there will be no more expansions or what? The last one I bought was Blackwood but I never really played enough to experience end game. Is it playable without the latest expansions?
>>2535672 The chapter model was replaced with a seasonal one. If you already own an expansion, it will be playable until the day the servers shut down.
>>2535737 >>2535747 I guess I will be giving it another go, when I played it I mostly treated it as a single player game really, and also made new characters constantly. Gonna try hitting max level and see what awaits there.
>>2536277 I'm guessing animals will get the higher apm kit while frost gets the channel. Maybe they'll give the other trees some tank morphs to make up for frost being split, give plants a self-healing spriggan or strangler pull or something. What I'm really curious about is the skill styles, if they follow DK's example we'll just get Lego neon orange but I'm hoping for more animal swaps. Worst thing about wardens has always been the schizo thematics and styles could easily fix that.
>>2537141 Werewolf is getting a big rework in the upcoming patch, its looking good. Vamp is trash except for one survivability passive and some meme gank builds, but it might get its own rework next year.
>>2537196 werewolves are getting a rework for this up coming patch in a week and i guess they're pretty strong on the test server especially with oakensoul which has always been the case and it's probably going to be cancer since there's werewolf pvp guilds that exist that roam around cyrodiil
>>2538910 >werewolf pvp guilds that exist that roam around cyrodiil That sounds fun, I'd be hyped to get attacked by a gang werewolves on my way to an outpost. I wish there were a PvP RP zone that didn't attract AP farmers and meta slaves trying to gank you without even checking what you're up to.
>all the population gains of the sale and people already left lmao it's so over, dead ass game, dumb fuck developers killed their game with subtrashing and ruining weaving. fuck these morons i hope they never find work again
i am genuinely appalled and disgusted that a legitimate and highly effective way to play this game is hold m1. that's it, just hold fucking m1. the absolute state
>>2539552 >ruining weaving U35 barely nerfed it (and fucked over non-weavers harder) and all they've done since is give people alternatives. The fact that everyone and their mother jumped on those alternatives shows just how unpopular that garbage "mechanic" really is.
>>2540159 U35 was a disaster because it blanket nerfed everyone. Again, weavers were the least affected by that trainwreck. Not saying the game is doing well, but that's because of shit management and content droughts, not because they made animation cancelling less mandatory for good damage.
it's absolutely insane how a dk can mitigate my entire offensive output with just one ability. these developers are so fucking stupid. wings has always been cancer. it was cancer when it reflected projectiles and it's cancer now. it's like giving a sorc 50% reduction to melee damage on hurricane. fuck off

>>2541600 Daggerfall Covenant. Unlike other alliances zones, Rivenspire is required for you to understand the lore behind Western Skyrim and Markarth DLCs, and the latter is literally ties to Rivenspire. High Isles DLC also share a link with your Stros M'kai and Betnik zone pirate crew. Alik'r has Prince Azah who will be key to the Solstice DLC story. Not to mention that Darien,the alliance's flagship, will be key to the very Main Story in Coldharbour, Summerset and Solstice. Ebonheart Pact only has the likes of Naryu who appears in several DLCs, having the Dark Brotherhood - Morrowind - Summerset sequence. Aswell as the separate side quests of Rigurt the Brash being an ambassador almost in every DLC. Aldmeri Dominion only has Raz doing Ayrenn's job at the likes of Summerset while only doing side stuff at Elsweyr. Basically, Daggerfall Covenant gets most of the cake lorewise.
>>2544906 there is an addon for that https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1258-EsoExtractData.html#info I've used in the past to extract texture and sound files. not sure about 3d models
>>2543403 The only Ebonheart Pact characters featured are King Joeunn at the Prologue and at the end of the storyline, and... Rigurt the Brash. The whole Gray Host story is tied to Verandis once you continue to Markarth to unearth its past.
>>2547732 >"Ayrenn was born on the 5th of Second Seed in 2E 555..." >"...In 2E 573, amid many signs and portents, she disappeared..." >"In truth, Ayrenn had decided to travel through Tamriel, seeking adventure and life lessons that cannot be taught through schools..." She was 18, and I'm sure 18 for elves is not the same as 18 for humans
>>2547814 Not culturally, but its more or less the same biologically. According to Real Barenziah they can take longer to become fertile, and that part probably isn't even true because it was all humans talking out their asses that still got surprised by an "early" pregnancy.
Words can't express my disdain for the morons in daily dungeons who refuse to run to the next boss and instead have to set up camp at every critter they come across.
>>2550907 In game books are written by characters in the world, and not necessarily true. That sounds even more like she disappeared in 263 and they (the AD) are trying to cover that up.
>>2551031 An 8 year old runaway would be (un)lucky to make it out of their town into the woods. Her backstory is stupid enough at 18, ZOS simply botched a date.
>>2551414 Why would an impostor risk such an insane cover story? Adventuring in what would mostly be her 20s is plausible enough even with the more outlandish parts like running with Maormer pirates, but starting from 8? Everyone would instantly call bullshit and investigate.
>>2551508 The cover story is "I am Ayrenn, the woman you say disappeared. And here are the Eyes of the Queen, the substantial military/spy force under my command, fresh from the massacre at Cormount." The Aldmeri can't publicly denounce her because they don't want to reveal the real Ayrenn is already dead. People did call bullshit and investigate, they're called the Veiled Heritance.
>>2551579 Admitting 8yo real Ayrenn electrocuted herself in the bath or something would be an embarrassment, but not to the point they'd roll over and let a blatant fraud steal the throne out from under the other heir they were just about to crown. And the heritance denied her policy, not her identity. >Our leaders now bend knee to a wastrel child. A Queen of cats and midgets. An adventurer given the throne by an accident of blood. A wench more fit for a cup house than a throne room. If there was any room to call her a straight up imposter they absolutely would've.
>>2551632 More likely died of the Knahaten Flu, it was quite ferocious that year. And the embarrassment would be about lying for years about what happened, more than that she had died.
>>2551673 Still nowhere near bad enough to boot the legitimate heir for a known fake. Hell, coming clean and stopping the coup would probably get them pardoned by Naemon, if only for his own optics.
>>2551815 True, but the whole theory is way too convoluted. Ayrenn's death was covered up, then an impostor shows up with a story that makes no sense for her age, which no one exposes for fear of the first lie being uncovered, and this is all to explain one mismatched date in a loading screen.
Ayrenn being a Camoranbot or KINMUNE would be hilarious but this ain't the smoking gun, just a typo.
>>2551865 There are other reasons the 273 date makes no sense. The same text states that they are expected to study Altmeri Regal Praxis and Ceremoniarchy for 3,555 days (ie, nearly 10 years) before ascending to the throne. But Naemon starts in 275 and is done by 280. Not enough time.
Realistically ZOS realized sending an 8 year old on adventures through Tamriel was suspicious and kludged the dates along, but they did a poor job of making it all match up.
So, with the upcoming overland difficulties tiers, would it be better to wear heavy armor with some dps stats (Order's Wrath) OR medium sets with defensive stats (Hexos)
>>2552259 Most solo builds don't resort to heavy or tank sets. Pale order, mitigation skills and self heals should cover most things, then you can use health enchants or start splitting attributes if you really need it.
>>2551508 I have a feeling that the Ayrenn that came out of the Orrery ain't the real one anymore. Unlike her brother that came out an Ogrim, the Daedra who took her form has succesfuly copied her appearance.
I saw the soul magic stuff is unlocked with story preogression, is there anything else important behind it that I should rush to do? I've been just queuing for dungeons and barely doing any of that, first time playing.
>>2554315 If you do PVP, Shatter Soul is important against Invisibility players like Nightblade, as its final detonation is also triggered if they go stealth.
