The Elder Scrolls: Online |OT| It's TES VI, VII, VIII and IX
- Thread starter Taker34
- Start date
The big Adventurer pack is currently on sale for 1000 crowns. Three costumes, a horse, exp scrolls and scrolls to train your horse. Some potions too!
Yeah, my crafting bag is already packed full of things that I wouldn't have space for otherwise. It's super useful.
I'm currently trying to do play a stamina dragonknight. It's kind of weird I have to get my skills up in level before I can actually turn them in to stamina skills though. At least I think that's how that works?

cant say much about the Dragonknight, but i remember some Skills from the Templar and the Nightblade to be morpheable into stamina skills. I am leveling a glass cannon Mage / Healer, again...
Does somebody know if the Horns of Reach DLC is just Dungeons, or are there any new areas to discover? I Really liked Orsinium and the Goldcoast, so i was wondering if there is more of that.

Only Dungeons! Really good ones, though! They are both in Clagorn.
Yeah. That's the case with skills that are magicka by default but have a stamina morph and vice versa.
This OT is incredibly pretty. Good job Taker34 =D
Yeah, just dungeons. But their release schedule of new exploration areas every 6 months (big then small, Vvardenfell then Clockwork City this year) is really awesome for an MMO, and I hope they can keep it up. Although, it also makes me sad seeing how highly polished and unique (environmentally, architecturally) they are compared to the vanilla zones, where every building looks the same across each province/culture. I kinda wish they'd created less zones at launch, and given them as much love as the DLC has had. Vvardenfell for example doesn't even have any room left to develop, so that's going to look awful and completely lore-inaccurate for ever =(
Wear whatever you like :)
But basic advice to follow is:
1) Pick a stat: Stamina or Magicka. Sink every single attribute point at level up into that one stat. Ignore health and use food to buff that while leveling.
2) For magicka, use mostly light armour (5+ pieces). For stamina, mostly medium (5+ pieces). Heavy can work just fine, making you super tanky, but is mostly used in PVP since the other two boost damage more.
3) When picking skills and skill morphs, keep in mind that skills costing Stamina will have their damage scale with your Stamina stat, and skills costing Magicka will scale with your Magicka stat.
Stam DK is medium for DPS and heavy for tanking.
But Stam DK can be a bit tough w/o CP. It was my first char too, and I ran almost all heavy until ~cp100 and then 5/2 until ~cp160.
Don't forget to add yourselves to the ERA player database!

I created a PS4 NA guild for ResetERA last night so I'll be actively sending out invites whenever I see someone on the same platform/region pop into the database. :)

I'll sign up for NA PS4 later this afternoon. Was running into some issues with the drop down boxes on mobile.
Anyone else play on a pro with boost mode on? Running into some loading timeouts in certain zones yesterday. Was first time playing on boost mode but it could just be the servers though.

Yep, same here. Had the infinite loading issue 4 or 5 times Yesterday. Relogging helped.
Any name suggestions for the Guild?

So, I get that for levelling/exploring it probably ultimately doesn't matter, but when I look up races/classes etc I don't see much love for Nords (I want to try a Nord character for that faction). I was thinking either stam DK or stam Templar, but I already have a Breton magicka templar which seems to play very smoothly. Also, for stamina I see only recommendations for dual 1h weapons and like "2h is for pvp only". How true is that?
(if it matters, I only have the base game, so no Imperials or Wardens for me)

Nord isn't pure min-max for stamina right now, but the race does great for either. Also, the difference between Nord and say Redguard really isn't that big and only really matters for the 1%.
So, for stamina DPS, dual-wield/bow is generally considered best, but I run my stamina Warden 2H/bow. The DW will out-dps you a bit in a lot of PvE content, but it's not that much.
Plus 2H is simply badass, and as a 2h/bow, you have a really seamless transition back and forth from PvE to PvP, which I dig.
Should mention that 2h/dw is really viable too, but I don't like it as much since the nerf to Steel Tornado range.
Edit: change is to isn't

I love 2H in PVE! Really, whenever someone says "X isn't viable" in this game, they really mean "X isn't optimal". If you're into min/maxing, then sure, specific race/class/weapon/armour combos will matter to you. But if you're fine with being a few to several % points lower in DPS capability or survivability, then you can still play with literally any combination you like. You certainly won't find you can't complete specific content in the game. Just that it might take you a little bit longer than with optimal builds. Fun and personalization is usually worth that trade though =)
Just follow the playstyle you like the most.
Builds are indeed going to matter but only if you embark on PvP or in Dungeons\Trials.
Otherwise, go with the one you are having most fun!
Just a heads up. the Orsinium DLC will be 75% starting this Thursday for those who don't have it yet:
Is the Morrowind Edition the base game + Morrowind?
If I want to get started on this, should I buy the Gold Edition or the Morrowind one?

Yeah. Morrowind Edition is base game plus the Morrowind DLC.
Gold Edition is the base game plus the first four paid DLC: Orsinium, Imperial City, Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood.
Gold has a lot more content overall. Guess it depends on price. Neither will get you all content.
If you played Morrowind (the original one) and want a great nostalgic ride with good content, maybe Morrowind Edition.
You get the base, which already has a LOT of stuff, and also Morrowind which adds more great content.
If not, maybe Gold Edition is best for you.
I sent out a couple of PS4 NA guild invites yesterday. Don't forget to add yourselves to the database - I'm always checking for new PS4 NA peeps. :)

Any active XBO / EU guilds around?
Just starting a character for the first time and would like to join a community so that I can ask silly questions.

So this game is like $12 bucks on PSN.
1. Is that an OK starting point?
2. Are there people still playing the game in the beginner zones? (I don't like getting late in MMO's because first half is lifeless because everyone has moved on to the late part of the game)
3. Is this game actually good? I heard a LOT of shit talked about it in the early days, I remember that much. Has that stuff been rectified?

Been tempted to pick this up for a while. Is the gold edition worth it? Or should I stick with the base game.
1. Both vanilla and Morrowind are fine are starting points.
2. Yes. Everything scales to cp160, which helps keep most zones active.
3. Yes. Biggest complaint is they made early game a tad too easy.
Orsinium is some of the best single-player content in the game, and the rest of the content is quite good too. You could always grab it later, though.
You could start with Morrowind and then grab the other stuff later. It's all good but can't recommend buying all the content for a game you haven't played yet.
The early game (launch into first year) was ripped because it was missing a lot of features. It's a different game now compared to then.
Although I still say the overland content including story missions are still on the too easy side. The only challenging content in the game is the group stuff.

That was really the worst change with One Tamriel. ESO used to be a pretty hard game. It didn't hold you hand.
You mastered your abilities. Got ready for group content. Felt really good about what you'd accomplished.
When I first reached veteran ranks, I remember waiting outside delves for help. Now, any new player who's an experienced gamer can tear ass with junk gear.

The everything-is-max-level aspect (i think that's what it is?) seems to have messed with some quests and features that I presume were formerly level-locked. Like the stuff with the Prophet and the guilds, and as soon as you get into the first main town you get an offer to go do some other content in Daggerfall, i think. When is/was that stuff 'supposed' to be done?
You can use http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Quests to follow the quests with the original gating in mind.
Or you could just push through the Prophet quest until it feels tough. Do other stuff for a while. Come back. Rinse and repeat.

Already answered but YES, a big YES. It's the same starting point I had, and I bought Morrowind for nostalgia sake,even if it is great content! The base ESO has a LOT to do, really a LOT.
It's a great game and has a lot of people playing!

Yes. You can just move on to your faction or whatever if you prefer, but I think playing through Morrowind first works pretty well story-wise.
