Post your favorite addons pls
We will be raiding in the EU in two weeks as TESOG guild. If you have a character ready, feel free to join and carry us.
>>2888386I don't use addons now but back when I used them I liked the minimap one.>>2888807Are the details finalized? Like which days and times or is it just in 2 weeks we start trials when we get enough people on at a given time? Will discord be used and is it orgarnized though it because I have seen nothing said in game about raiding
steal your mothers credit card and buy crates
>>2888386>Tamriel Trade Centre: Auction house and vendors >Code's combat alerts
Is there an addon to buy crates?
>>2888386Screenshot mode and Auto recharge/repair
>>2888360Jesus Christ OP you really chose the least appealing screenshot possible. I have a CP1800 character and if I didn't and just stumbled on this thread in the catalog I'd think to myself "I'm not fucking playing that gay shit".
>>2891818Alright, let's see the alternatives:https://images.uesp.net/3/3d/ON-render-High_Seas_of_Tamriel_Banner.jpgLower resolution and looks like something you would see in a dungeon packhttps://images.uesp.net/d/d9/ON-render-Haj_Mota_Hunting_Grounds.jpgCave

>>2892286And it looks like a tranny
>>2892286maybe whoever made the promo renders got caught in the layoffs
i don't wanna do daily writsi don't wanna train my horsei don't wanna farm skyshards or lorebooks

Returned to this elder fiesta on a whim. Werewolf is pretty damn fun now, and necromancer is still fun. Any other classes that are as flashy as those two that feel good to play? Was not super impressed with nightblades base kit so far on my wolf but it seems the cooler abilities are all at the very end of the trees for them.
>>2898473DK is OP in PVP and got new animations. Soon to be nerfed I suppose so hurry up.
>>2898467snake is in the forest before king gaylord in coldharbour. you need to do the quests for zone progression.Do not side with the W**d *lfs
bros how do i get signature scripts in scribing?????????????????????????????????????my build kinda needs it.
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/70311This is dumb. Why keep the animals+plants+ice thematic which most players agree is nonsensical?
scribing is awful. who made this ""system""
>>2899344Did you actually read the article, dude?Do you know what refresh means?
>>2899344Problem is any dramatic thematic change risks making people feel like their character got bricked. I already see some complaining about losing the morrowind animals, it'd be way worse if they completely dropped the druid or ice themes. And with no new classes in the foreseeable future to pick up the dropped theme, they wouldn't even have the option to make a replacement character.
>>2901339This is true. I made my whole character ice themed. I'd probably delete the character if they got rid of the ice. I do like how they're going more for seasonal colors for skills. That way everyone can just dial it in the way they want. The class should have launched like that.
>>2899344Always had an issue with 1/3 Warden kit being Morrowind stuff and 1/3 being ice magic and a bear. Glad that this update shits on both my Nord and Dunmer Wardens the way my Argonian poison DK was made obsolete
i rage quit cyrodiil again...
>>2899344The ice theme is nice though, minor brittle is underappreciated.
>>2899344The plant/ice theme are ok, the most retarded looking is the animal theme. The animal skills are only: a delayed bug attack, a Jellyfish that gives away your buffs and was nerfed to oblivion anyway, a bunch of flies that feel like throwing pebbles or sand at your enemy and a fucking bear that all it's good for is moaning and dying.I feel like warden should be renamed to shroomancer, a telvanni-themed build. The mushrooms besides healing should also be used as elemental attacks (add fire besides ice), that way it makes more sense.
Buy crates. Zos needs your money.
Finally hit endgame again on a new character, really do appreciate the horizontal gearing of thisIs the best way to farm up dungeon sets still spam normal for speed clears? The build I wanna mimic needs two full dungeon sets. Or is vet easy enough now adays to spam with PUGs?
can't wait to spam swallow soul in update 51 bros...
>>2908200Depends on the dungeon. You normally need ~50 runs to complete the stickerbook and only 3 runs need to be on vet to drop all parts of the monster set
i love trample
buy crowns and buy crates
What does Ember smell like?
>>2911438Like wet, sweaty pussy and cat paw beans
>>2911438she smells like she is made for werewolf domination.
>>2911236dude, it wasn't funny the first time you said it and it isn't funny in the 10th

>>2912393I think it was a mistake to add elephant and mammoth mounts to the game. They're too big and feel out of place in the world>>2913382Did you complete the quest? You can swap class lines in the skill menu
I just found confirmation that vault keys are indeed real and you can find them inside thieves troves

Lizard girls.
>>2918882Dibs on the lizard baddie on the right I came across the hottest argonian on Murkmire the other day, she was the palest I've seen and had purple eyes, sadly she ran away on her mount before I could take a screenshot

>>2919934>>2920284I'm waiting on the apex radiant elephant mount to spend my 16,000 seals.
I really want to tongue a cloaca
we should move this general to /vg/
>>2922427We're too slow for /vg/ and the game is in one of its most unpopular periods, pretty much everyone who cares about this game knows we're here already. Gacha games have pushed most games off /vg/ by now.
Updates -need -to release faster.It is so fucking annoying knowing there's content just Sitting there, waiting to be deployed, but it's kept from us because they have to strategically ration out what Little content they actually make per year.jesus christ actually infuriating, give me a 2 week notice or FUCK OFF
>>2923481U51 is right around the corner (end of this month)
>>2923486yeah sure but it's already been a month since the pts was out dude
EU needs 6 more people to do the trial. Sign up on discord.
new content > qol improvementsplayers don't bother logging in if there's nothing to do in the game
>barely any new content>game went skeleton crew mode with half the team fired>1 year of class rework, only DK and... werewolf (who tf asked for it and considered it a class?) done>shittomancer is last in linesee you guys in 5 years, I may reinstall for the necro rework
why is it so hard to find raiding guild in this game?
>>2927134because most hardcore pve players have already left the game by now and leading raids is very time consuming which the current economy affords less and less
Ball groups ruined PVP
>>2926669The fucked up thing is that the layoffs probably barely made a difference. Content had already slowed to a crawl and warden was still months behind schedule with the full team, these people are just really bad at their jobs. Its not even a skeleton crew, they've still got like 200 people.
>>2926669>in 5 yearsthis game won't make it to 2030 my nigga
>>2928118TES6 releasing next year will renew interest in ESOtrust the plan
>>2928355le liminal
TES6 will kill the franchise for good and it's true it will renew interest in ESO but not because ESO is good but because TES6 will be utter crap.
If TES6 doesn't have Lifts-her-tail fan service, it'll be over for TES
>>2928975TES 6 will save the RPG genre
>>2929172Lifts-her-tail is a fictional character from a book in the setting. She does not exist.But I can see some NPC roleplaying her sorta like the sole survivor roleplays the silver shroud in fallout 4
>>2929649>Someone roleplaying as herWould be very fun to see that happen in game, even if she isn't even Argonian, that kind of content is the shit that stays in fans minds for decades. Alternative you could find a librarian or some nerd obsessed with her that has unique dialogue if the player is an Argonian and even more unique if the player is an Argonian female.
It's overESO is now on its content drought phase
I'm in a vampire mood and ESO had a bit of that, so I'm thinking about coming back to it.Give it to me straight, frens. Is this game dying? No doomposting, no copium, an objective analysis of the situation.
Alcast runs this general. You are all his bitches.
>>2933702literally who?
>>2933473Vamp is in a shitty state right now and its not likely to get reworked anytime soon.And no one actually knows. Its in one hell of a slump and could very well die because of it, but we can only speculate. It might have enough housing whales to sputter on for another 10 years, or it might dip below some critical profit threshold this quarter and have MS suddenly shut the whole thing down.
>>2934214Sounds a bit grim. Appreciate it anon, maybe I'll look for something else.
we will NEVER EVER raid
Need craftable set recommendations for magblade

>>2939271>How do I find out which abilities are direct damage and which ones are not?lol, lmao evenYou don't.
Is this game still borderline unplayable without the crafting bag? I haven't played since High Isle.
>>2944252I don’t think it did
>>2944421It is anon, otherwise this already dull and dying game feels more like a chore that a distraction or hobby.
>hiding your clothes to appear semi-nude is now part of game>The Elder Argonian/suspire light chest styles plus *hide pants* make players look like they are wearing slutty dresses or miniskirts >But an actual good looking revealing costume of lifts-her-tail french maid is off limits Bruh
>>2944421You don't know how to manage your inventory
>>2944252only 6 people signed up>>2945342teach me senpai
>>2945046Shame, I won't be reinstalling then, thanks.>>2945342There's only so much you can do with limited slots. Throwing away 99% of potentially useful materials isn't some secret knowledge gained from years of experience, that's just biting the bullet and accepting that you don't get to keep the shit you found because the game is intentionally set up to jew you as hard as possible by creating problems and selling you a solution.
>>2945889Your wallet was promised to Zenimax 3000 years ago
Which way, Dres mer?
i am playing necrom for the first time and main story is meh.
>>2946461If I had to guess, there's a mystery and an NPC needs you to investigate 3 places to find out what's going on, followed by a revelation that leads to a new location entirely.
>>2946362one will keep you warm at night, the other one will steal your body heat
Well, at least they aren't selling $30 reskinned elves. Yet.
We can all agree there are too many crafting materials in the game right now, and even with that in mind they're still going to add 4 more alchemical ingredients next update.
>>2946577no box price and optional elves
>>2922427It used to be on /vg/ but now both the game and the general is deader than dead. I think of all the hours spent on ESO and my head start to spin, even after checking out 6 years ago. All that hours wasted and none of it matters. Achievements invalidated, titles inflated in weight, gold inflated, sets and classes bricked. I can't even name 1 thing that holds value in this game. When Summerset, Elsweyr and the likes came out we always had complaints, if only we knew how worse it could get.. I sat down many times and can't finish High Isle main story it sucks so bad, the presentation is ass, feels like it's targeted at literal braindead boxing glove autist downies - which is lets be honest, seeing reddit and forums, the main audience is exactly that.This game has been HARD carried by "The Elder Scrolls" title for a decade.
>>2948784as long as you had fun the time wasn't wasted, all games are "wastes of time" but so are a lot of things in life that bring us joy.
>no cute femboy breton boyfriend to travel withBros I'm so lonely also when does the sea pirate content drop?
>>2948905Sounds like you're ready to drop plenty of seaman.
Last time I checked the PTSD server the maritime combat looked like ass. If we can't board the enemy ships the event will be just a glorified digital version of a carnival shooting game.
update 51 when?????
>>2950319end of the month
ive heard daedra worship is becoming increasingly prevalent in the summerset isle
money has no value in this game ;_;
>>2953409what
>>2951919Never liked Bethesda pushing this idea that daedra worshipers exist (much) among Altmer. They should be all about the ancestor worship.
Wish i could relive Elsweyr story again
>>2954260I wish they added a new zone or questline there.
you now miss morrowind
>>2961951I miss having things to do in this game.
They sent me a warning for saying something edgy but lore accurate in zone chat But they are not banning the sodomites roleplaying as twinks and anime girls for other sodomites near the Rimmen wayshrine.
>>2966532You'd think with the game in crisis mode they'd tell the moderation team to chill out.
>>2966663getting a warning is mild compared to a 3-day vacation
>>2966532they ban these too it's why barely anyone roleplays these days
>>2967888>Using the in-game chat is a bannable offenseno wonder the game is dying
>>2967103Do they gradually increase the penalties?, or do they jump from warning to straight game ban? (Skipping the chat ban)
The real ESO just released.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4eEnHgRLEE
>>2973303>Those graphics Nah unc, pass. I am not installing your spyware just to play Niggerfall
>>2973303>game from 40 years ago but onlinewhat is the appeal? anyone that wanted to play daggerfall already did it
>>2974379maybe because it's an actual elder scrolls game but online and not some dogshit wow clone wearing a tes skin?
>>2974680ESO was made with online gameplay in mind. Daggerfall wasn't, which makes it a worse experience than playing it offlineThe whole thing seems pointless...
>>2974992Its just a novelty if it stays exactly as-is, sure, but with mod support its entirely possible for people to start hammering it into a better MMO.
>>2975920anything's possible with ai slop
Allegedly the CS department was hit in the latest round of layoffs.
>>2976412you dont need a cs department when you got openai
>>2976706famous last words, and I say this as someone who actually uses AI
>>2976412Did they layoff the CS team at Indonesia? They were the only CS team by 2023 and were basically paid with just bread and water.
>>2979278The guy making the claim said there's "almost nobody left", so not quite the entire team.
new expansion when
>>2980029I'm guessing Whiterun in 2028 as a desperate last move.
eso? moar liek eos amirite
>>2980029solstice is possibly the last expansion to the gamezenimax doesn't have neither the team or the technical expertise to put out expansion like they did prior to 2025
>>2980293I’m just happy that I haven’t poured real money in this game
bringing ithelia back would heal eso
>>2980293>lead combat dev demonstrates on stream that he doesn't know basic combat mechanics>keeps the job and survives multiple layoffsWheeler is solid proof that zos operates on cronyism and its effectively crippled the studio despite still having around 250 people. Layoffs alone don't explain all their bullshit. Xbox's best move at this point is either handing the game off to another studio, or (probably the better option given its age) starting development on a successor as soon as possible.
You're pretty retarded if you think the maintenance mode game will have new expansions with TESVI finally being worked on and the MMORPG genre dying.
>>2981176>starting development on a successorlol, not like they were doing that less than a year ago
is happening? do i log in
I put this game down 10+ years ago when, in addition to the horrible floaty combat, the main story's romance plot involved a red guard male and a nord female. Now I hear half the staff have been laid off and the game's probably getting shuttered soon. Thank God.
>>2981232TES6 is not coming out until 2030 the leastThey need something ES related until then to keep engagement up
>>2982235makes you think
>>2981298If they thought Blackbird was going to absorb ESO's audience they were even more delusional than Bungie was with Marathon.
>>2982263Starfield took that long because they were constantly reworking things in a failed attempt to make a clusterfuck of bad ideas fun, in the middle of the pandemic. 6 is likely closer to their usual 5ish year development cycles, which would put it somewhere around 2028.
game still nets about $20 million per month, and it should stay alive for at least another 10 years.
>>298437015 million *revenue*, and that's generously assuming the 2b figure was evenly spread across the months and continues past 2024. Factor in operating costs and noticeable population drop from the ongoing fuckups and their profits may not look so hot these days.

game is kinda dead
yeah I finally uninstalled and that's generally a sign of a dead game
whats the best way to farm IA sets??
>>2995690completing 2 arcs every single dayyou drop armor on odd numbered arcs and weapons+jewelry on even numbered arcs
>>2995701do i have to play my warden to get warden set? my nb farms there faster.
>>2995727yes, you only drop sets for the class you're playing as.the exception is when you already have everything for that class, then the game gives you random sets
>>2986725They've been saying this for years, even in 2018.Most people who make "Dead Game" threads on the forums are underage kids ragebaited by a DK nerf. Like those kids back then on CSGO Steam Discussions saying that the game is dead just because they've got VAC'd.
>>2995810it's over, lowest numbers ever and the game is a mess. they absolutely ruined the game with hybridization, cross classing and weave removal. then for good measure after ruining pve and pvp they decide to curb stomp pvp with the dk and werewolfwhen you stopped having to farm vma for your dps items is when i knew this game was dead. vma was such a unique thing in mmo and when people had those items you could just see in how they play that they were good players. now everyone shits out dps and is totally brainless. fuck that
>>2995810Its not DEAD dead yet, but its definitely in a bad spot and I don't see zos being able to fix it before they lose a fatal number of players. The combat team has been incompetent for years, the content team isn't much better nowadays, and both were working at an unbelievably slow pace even before the layoffs.
update 51 fucking when
>>2996421SÖÖÑ BЯØTHËR
>WoW: Forever and AION 2 will revive the MMO genre and then flop>Elder Scrolls VI will flop>ESO will prevail and get millions of new playersWe will be victorious
Attempting to install the update crashed my hard drive and my BIOS stopped detecting it. I don't know if ESO did it but why not throw shade.
Haven't played since summerset and want to give it another shot any class recommendations for a fun experience?
>error: unable to fetch legal docshow to fix?
>>2997492or is this because servers aren't back up yet or something?
nvmfixed
does the discord still exist?
>>2997383you should try arcanist for a brainless experience
>>2997892Yeah but it's deader than this general though that's probably a good thing.
>Log in>'Some of your addons are out-of-date'>Bombarded with cheevo completionsyea, sounds like a update alright
i can get trial gear from solo dungeons now right???i fucking hate trials.
>>2982235They added nonbinary characters since then. Is the game actually getting shuttered?
>>2999069Whether the game gets shuttered or retired into maintenance mode depends on non-public information, so anything you're seeing is guesswork. People aren't happy with the state of the game or the current roadmap and there's a noticeable drop in player count, but for all we know the numbers are still good enough to keep them operating for years to come. They might also be terrible and shut down next year, we just don't know.What we do know is that Asha is willing to yoink and redistribute franchises if she sees a studio fucking up bad enough, so I have to wonder if ZOS isn't in way more danger than ESO itself. I could see her bringing in Blizzard devs or something to try and salvage it before pulling the plug.
>Sheogorad Chateau >uninspired and colorless, just like Modern Sheogorath>90% of house is trapped inside cramped hallways>2 rooms are "flipped upside down" the only selling point>can't go behind, despite showing you a possibly cool backyard>can't go on top, stuck in the fence, not allowed near boatfire whoever the fuck is working on housing
>>2999423I've always been of the opinion that it'd be better to just have a blank plot of land in whatever biome and a slightly increased furniture count and just let players build their own shit from scratch.But there's only like three places like that and iirc they're all daedric realms (which is fine just it'd be nice if there were more on Tamriel).
>>2999472There's also the meadow in northern Elsweyr, and seaveil spire's buildable area is stupidly huge so it can be used for that too.
>Elemental Susceptibility: This morph now has a 3240 Magicka costIt's over

>>3018865>making a FFXIV style erp bar in ESO
>>3018651Also yet another appearance by the maormer but still no skin, or even a shitty polymorph. Weird how zos clearly likes them a lot but doesn't make them pseudo-playable like damn near every other humanoid enemy in the game.
>>3019110I've made attempts
>>3018865NO!bad kitty
>>3019173Yeah, you can get close with vamp or arctic rime, just sucks having to cobble them together like that and still only get "close" when we can become a full blown minotaur, goblin, undead, or a dozen flavors of daedra.
>>3019028I don't play it, so what makes that erp bar FFXIV style specifically?
>>3018865Yes. Bad kitty
update 51 sucks.update 52 when
>>3020878next year?U52 will be the one with the warden rework
>>3021971They never said warden was in u52. Considering all they had to show recently was concept art and a couple WIP animations its probably further out than that.
>>3021971It will most likely drop on March
Andrew Tate runs this general.
Who?
Honestly at this point nothing but themselves is stopping Zenimax from releasing blatant slutty outfits and costumes for Khajiits/Orcs/Argonians and Bosmer....They could cash grab thousands of dollars, feed nice slop to the masses to keep them distracted and happy, improve their PR and give this dying game an extra year or so worth of life by just using AI to make the designs and someone to model them.
>>3025369They've already been doing that for several patches, and REALLY over the top slutwear wouldn't even look good on these ancient models.
>>3025369Tell me the denizens of Rimmen wouldn't pay for cat genitals.
i will waste 40 minutes in IA and i will hate it.
>>3025773I would tolerate IA a lot more if you could save progress.
>>3025773what are you farming exactly? leads? sets?I can't think of a single good set in that place
>>3025959i need sorc/warden/nb sets.
>>3025988You can also do the NO WAY vault, it rewards IA currency then use that to buy the set crates
>>3017847smelly
>>3025959A lot of them are actually decent now, if not BiS for some classes. Corpseburster is so good it hard carried necro back into dps viability.

What do you think of Nowhere Vault? I checked it out, but only briefly. Gotta farm more keys first
>>3052270It's alright, I appreciate that the secrets are not easy to uncover and that the rooms have a cool unique design but some challenges are still so easy it's almost insulting. For example the room with poison clouds can be tanked by spamming vigor and the room where the sand is some sort of quicksand is just a mediocre platformer, it would be nice if the safe places you land on would move or spin, it literally is easier and less complex that some levels from any Mario game. The rewards are ok I guess, and it's a different experience to your usual "go fetch" event.
>>3052270>>3053182I accumulate keys too slowly to be interested in pursuing it. It says you need a minimum of 3, but some of the chests are locked with nowhere keys and some of the rumor things require multiple trips.

how's the community in this game? is there much socialization? looking for an MMO with more of that nowadays..
>>3063753most players treat ESO as a singleplayer game. There's not much socialization outside of RP circles.
>>3063753As you can see from the thread being dead as fuck, its not exactly thriving. A large chunk of the playerbase has always treated it like a SP game and actively avoids socializing, and the more typical mmo players have been driven off in waves by disastrously bad updates and general mismanagement by the devs.
Finished the tome...overall not really worth it but not a terrible reason for me to actually do stuff...>>3064345I think the game is slightly more alive than the thread shows its much more of a reddit game than anything. I regularly meet new people who play you just have to really carry the fucking conversation for it to be social at all
>>3064481True, the game is nowhere near as dead as the thread, but there's still been a noticeable population decline.
>>3064591Oh for sure it's much less active and has been for awhile HOWEVER I think part of the reason ESO and really most MMOs are much less populated is because of fucking WoW forever and Aion 2 both are new kids on the block and flavor of the month which I really hope changes soon or everythings fucked
>>3065431The big blunders and dropoffs started well before either came out, and its happening on console too. People are just getting sick of the game and quitting, having shiny new competition makes it easier to jump ship but a lack of it doesn't seem to be stopping anyone. I think ESO has dug enough of a niche that its biggest threat (besides zos) isn't even conventional mmos, its TES6 stealing the solo questing crowd in like 2 years.That said, if anyone did release an mmo that hit ESO's niches (actiony combat, housing mechanics, voiced story quests) it would be a bloodbath. GW3 might do that, and Blizz could theoretically do it with a console version of Forever if they wanted.
how would you faggots improve the game, or is it too late?
>>3069005They should have changed combat 10 years ago.
>>3069005Its not too late, but zos needs a serious performance review and restructuring to get rid of people like Wheeler. Nick seems to have his head screwed on straight and is already pursuing good changes for the most part, the problem is that the content team somehow works at a glacial pace despite halting chapters and the combat team is incapable of doing anything right because they don't play the game at even a basic level and balance entirely off spreadsheets. You could hand them a flawless step by step plan to fix the game and it wouldn't matter.tldr fire more people and replace with them with claude
where is the skeletal pack wolf it's october 15th i am not asking a lot please put the pet on the store thak you
>>3069005make it more like ffxiv or wow
>>3071889if you want to play ff14 or wow, those games already exist
>>3072108true
>>3069005They need better story and scenario writers. They're afraid to actually do anything. In Elsewyr we have a plague of dragons and thats shown as 3 dragons that circle around attacking an empty field. The khajiit don't even save themselves and the dominion is too busy jerking off in a mirror, it's the imperials. who gives a fuck. In west skyrim it's an ancient army of vampires and werewolves except it never manifests outside of delves and dungeons and then the werewolves vanish from the second half of the story like they forgot about them to focus on DEI vampire gay romance. Blackwood/deadlands is Molag Bal's circus of failure to the point I can't take him seriously anymore. and it just doesn't get better. also the character models are ugly. Throw a few poly's at them for fucks sake, they're starving.
>>3072108Yes, but they are not elderl scrolls themed
>>3073258To be fair, part of that is having reoccurring characters while also keeping every story in a nonlinear time bubble, which the new leadership DID realize was stupid and finally began moving the story forward so things could actually happen. Of course we only got one gimped chapter of that before they proclaimed that big stories were just too hard for their struggling little studio of 500 people to keep up.
>>3073258>Throw a few poly's at themZOS will hear this and add more polyamorous characters.
>>3073519Also, an interesting side note. WoW forever is actually doing the stupid time bubble thing too. I'm curious to see how long that lasts, especially since I see a lot of people mistakenly hyping it as an alt-timeline that could correct retail's insanity.

>retards on the forums have started asking for an ESO Classic>suggestions boil down to "lets compete directly with WoW in the middle of its comeback tour"

Never posted here before. How's this game doing? I haven't played in a while. I like the old elder scrolls games and loved the lore and all that so I played a good bit of eso over the years, but not recently. I liked Summerset, Morrowind, and Skyrim expansions, but I haven't played the newer ones. I liked the companions they added, that's a cool feature for an mmo and it reminded of my my other old favorite mmo, swtor. I played a templar healer and a dragon tank and they were both cool, how are they doing these days? I hear they're refreshing some of the classes, I read a blogpost about the warden and it looked all very cool.I think eso is a fun casual mmo but it never quite sank its teeth into me like wow used to (I quit wow some years ago due to story reasons), or like swtor (probably my favorite current mmo, galaxies was my favorite as a kid).I look forward to trying eso again sometime soon, maybe when a class I like gets refreshed or there's a new expansion or something. Hope you're all doing well.
>>3078323>How's this game doing?PAIN. The short version is that development has slowed to a pathetic crawl and they're slowly bleeding players. They've stopped doing traditional expansions in favor of bite sized content drops, which so far haven't been great. The class refreshes started in March with DK and since then have only covered werewolves, with the next being warden due sometime "next year", so its looking like they won't be done until fucking 2030.I don't expect a sudden shutdown like NW, but still, if there's any content you want to see its probably best to do it now instead of waiting for some dream update that may never come.
>>2893196>>2890393I just started this game and I’m just making thematic builds and running rp patterns >redgaurd swordsinger in the desert >high elf thalmor agent in the shimmering isles >kajit thief >breton high society woman who’s actually a vampire assassin >bosmer who turns into a bloodthirsty warewolf The level scaling allows you to do whatever you want it’s great. You don’t need to farm shit
>>3078323For a 12 year old game it’s extremely well populated >>3078323I have no idea what people like this expect most games barely last 3 years before being zombie maintainence mode
>>3084844Except skillpoints, if you want to do anything with those builds.
>>3084850Most mmos zombify because they failed out the gate or lost people gradually. ESO is a bizarre case where it does (or did) still seem to have the audience to sustain its development, the devs just inexplicably stopped trying.
>>3085129I have no idea what this means >>3085360IMight just be burned because I’m an old school mmo player but even the “slower” content schedule is better than most games I’ve played there is a whole new Skyrim zone on its way and they have new dungeons, missions/events otherwise every like 60 days or so
They're vibeslopping Daggerfall into a functional MMO right in front of us.
>>3085730>I want to play a janky 90’s mud MMO >but it’s so big you’ll never see anyone if you leave the basic starting area Yeah nah
>>3085418Nothing wrong with enjoying what they've put out lately (except the Sheo quest), its just way less than a team their size should be capable of, even post layoffs. They can't expect to run the game for another 10 years on filler patches.
>>3085360>ESO is a bizarre case where it does (or did) still seem to have the audience to sustain its developmentESO was pretty much dead until the morrowind chapter came out, and that was 3 years after it released.
>>3086332That was almost 10 years ago, things were pretty stable after that, and even now it still hasn't dipped to pre-MW levels. That's what confuses me, we can pin the moment their output went to shit after Gold Road but there's no clear reason for it. The population wasn't falling off a cliff yet, blaming Blackbird doesn't make sense because it only got worse after its cancellation, and it wasn't Asha or her layoffs which only entered the picture this year.The only theory I can think of that kinda makes sense is that it primarily was Blackbird siphoning resources, and following its cancellation someone (Lambert?) immediately started another secret project to siphon even harder until the layoff. That or the entire company got crippling depression at the exact same time.
>>3085730>Yee yee aaah graphics Nah unc, hard pass
Maintenance TimeAnyone here excited to see TWO group dungeons being re-released as solo dungeons in 2 days?https://steamcommunity.com/games/306130/announcements/detail/679638395625931634
>>3087797Yeah as an oldfag I don’t really have time to do groups much so I like solo dungeons
>>3087797I was but they took too long. At least I won't have to deal with shitters who can't do damage or nigger tryhards who get offended after they pull aggro before tank and die to trash pulls.
how are the queues for group content in this game?
>>3092181instant for tanks, 10 to 50 seconds for healers and 5+ minutes for dps
why do so many of the game's stories involve fighting "racism" and "supremacy" and why is the game's primary romance between a nord woman and a redguard male?

Good news for once, they finally figured out a way to raise furnishing limits without melting old consoles. Massive hike coming in u52.
>>3095072Great news for once.I think it will still melt old consoles but no one cares.
>>3096359The trick is that its a weird hybrid cloud system that kicks in above the old limit to stream excess assets instead of burdening the machine. There's comparison footage, pc didn't have any difference (dunno what its specs were though, mileage may vary), current gen consoles have some pop-in when they first load, last gen are gonna have constant pop-in as they walk around that looks like shit but shouldn't melt anything or lock them in a crash loop.
>>3096787last gen should really be abandoned at this point, whole bunch of games would benefit from it
>>3097121From a technical standpoint absolutely, but I don't think zos is in a good position to do it now. They can't afford to cut off what's probably still a sizable chunk of their playerbase, and they're working too slowly to take full advantage of a hardware bump anyway.>wowee, the animation limit is raised and we can add new classes and capes and toe physics>ETA 2040
So the game is now officially on maintenance mode. I can't believe it happened, after all the spamming and doom posting I did for the Keks
>>3097379Official maintenance mode is when they boot everyone besides the handful of jeets keeping the servers and crown store online. Not quite there yet.
just got the nord door for 3600 seals, it's wayy bigger than any of the tomb doorframes at hakkvild's. i did not think to pay attention to the size relative to the preview grid
are the dungeons fun in this game?and everyone seems to agree the combat is trash, but is it less bad with spellcasters?
>>3097379>>3097405You people are fucking spoiled they release content on a regular basis that isn’t maintainence mode, this game is strill crazy profitable for an MMO it’s like in the top 5 And yoh have literal trash like EverQuest, and guild wars still trudging along this isn’t going anywhere >>3098517I haven’t played them I think the combat is fine, I hate being limited to what abilities I can use because I’m more of an old school MMO guy but I don’t hate it Kinda like SWTOR is advise treating this game as a giant elder scrolls game that also has some multiplayer features Make characters that follow some sort of thematic build and just do things that fit with that. Don’t bother with the main quest line more than once,Like my current tools that I switch off with every few leveled >yakudan sword singer >breton hot aristocrat chick who’s a vampire/assasin >kajit theif/lowlife criminal >high elf wizzard who’s become a secret deadra worshiper >dunmer battle mage >Argonian elementals >nord paladin goody two shoes best boi >Argonian elementalist All of them are in different zones following different storylines and doing their own thing it makes it very easy to pop in and play for a couple hours after my wife goes to bed
>>3098517Arguably worse. One of its big problems is homogenization, when optimized every class plays extremely similarly and the traditional melee/magic/ranged distinction doesn't really exist. Every class is a spellcaster, but everyone still "has" to play like melee to ensure buff coverage.>>3099278You think the combat is fine because you barely engage with it. If you do anything harder than facerolling quest mobs the cracks start to show, and he's asking about dungeons specifically where that shit does matter.
What is the fastest way of getting the daily trade bars during this event?
Do you still have to do that gay auto attack weaving horse shit to play this game? And are builds still split between stam/magicka where everyone basically uses the same weapons (like all magicka DPS using destroy staff/the same skills)? Not trying to shitpost just haven't played in a few years. Might pick it up non-sub for a bit, kinda enjoyed it just hated the combat with a passion. Speaking of non-sub how hard am I cucked in terms of zone quality/QoL for playing without it
>>3100303>you don’t do the elite shit Nobody cares dork
barswapping weaveGODS own you cuck shitters
>>3098517Some of the dungeons are fun. Nearly all of them can be done on normal by a group of clueless shitters. And some of the vet hm are rewardingly difficult and demand an organised group.
>>3100600>weavingThey're never getting rid of that garbage, but they know its controversial so there's viable alternatives now. HA builds got more support, and the newest class and reworked DK (probably the rest too whenever their reworks happen) have options for channeled skills that avoid it entirely.>And are builds still split between stam/magicka where everyone basically uses the same weaponsWorse, everyone uses daggers for their overtuned passives either way. They made it so damage scales off whichever is highest, so now people just pick the best morphs and pump whichever resource happens to need more sustain.
Tate brothers run this general
>>3099278is the game alt friendly with account progression or something like that? or you replayed everything with each of these?>>3100303I see, and I play FF14, so I'm used to a lot of homogenization, sadly>>3100880sounds alright then>>3101319>and the newest class and reworked DK (probably the rest too whenever their reworks happen) have options for channeled skills that avoid it entirelywhat is the newest class? Arcanist? at least that's what google saysit's a mage that doesn't need to do much of that weaving?
>>3102244I’m just playing different zones with each character with minimal overlap
>>3102244Yeah, arcanist's main damage source is a magic laserbeam and DK has fire breath. There's also a dedicated anti-weaving item (nerfs LA damage while buffing everything else) that works best with them but technically allows any class to avoid it.Pretty clunky solutions and channel spam can get boring, but its probably the best we'll get.
>>3101319>They're never getting rid of that garbageGay. I will never play this game as long as that shit exists. It both feels and looks so genuinely retarded. I'm a hardcore minmax sweat too, I just cannot fucking stand the shit. Just remove it and compensate with dmg buffs everywhere else, what's the big deal
noob^
Now that Greymoor is part of the base game, surely Summerset is next, right?They gave everyone access to scrying while jewelry crafting is still locked away.
>>3103870There's too many people that like it, or at least zos seems to think there's enough that its worth leaving shit broken to please them. Same with all the nonsense in pvp.
>>3105866That seems like such a weird thing to attach yourself to. Class identity, rigidity of your rotation, whatever, but weaving auto attacks being the straw that breaks the camels back? I'll never get it idk
>>3100600> haven't played in a few yearsChecked. Just be careful if you play on steam. High chance of the game literally not launching. Not even with the faggoty custom launcher from zos official site
Why don't they update this, it's just embarrassing. all the release era armors are.
>>31115661. Updating the base game is too much work.2. People don't care about old content, especially now with this content drought.
>>3111566They did Ancestral versions for some of the old ones, then gave up.Anyone remember when orc and redguard styles had cleavage?
>>3111566After being out of gaming for a while and now coming back in to a game this polished and well done and seeing people bitch about…. ??? I couldn’t even tell you the complaint here is hilarious Literally dweebs and nerds are the fucking worst you people deserved to be bullied by jocks you fucking suckAnd I say this as a former band kid it’s horrendous
>>3113075>I play awful games so your complaints are invalidfuck off nerd.
>>3113075Games are mainstream now, if you said this IRL you'd get bullied for being a retard. The general perception is that this game is shit.
If you have spent at least 1000 hours playing this game and you haven't figured how to light attack weave, you must be stupid.
>>3113870Knowing how to do something doesn't mean you have to like it. Weaving is tedious, looks objectively terrible, and restricts the entire game's combat design.
>>3113870Just a reminder that weaving was discovered by players and not originally an intentional combat design.
>>3113870Speaking as the person who criticized it -- I had no issue doing it. My wife played this game for a long time before I tried it at first, so I was aware of its importance and shown how to do it. I practiced it a good bit while leveling and found it quite easy. But as the other anon above me said, it looks stupid, and it needlessly restricts the flow of combat since (at least to my knowledge, from logs I was shown years ago) is like 50% of your DPS. It's a bad system and anyone that acts like any critique of it comes from an incapability to adapt is retarded.
>>3113870nice this really made the disabled people seethe
So like I made a vampire and made em a nightblade with tresure hunters and dreugh king with slimecrawl as my monster set. Will this get me laughed out of groups? I have self sustain with swallow soul and I use simmering frenzy for my stim and Blood for Blood as my spammable with impale with my execute. for AoE I use uhhhh Twisting Path, Sap essence, and pulsar because I dont have a lot of like good AoE options.
dolmens on vestige? genius gamer, coming through
>>3115357Doesn't matter, most rando groups are either bots or retards so as long as you can hit your skills and know how to repair your gear, you'll be fine
>>3115357Shouldn't be a problem in most cases. It will definitely lag behind the cookie cutter setups, but powercreep has gotten so high people aren't likely to notice or care if one guy isn't shitting out 200k dps.
anyone else is lagging? I just got kicked out of the EU server
>>3119556That's what you get for being a euro
I've played this game on and off over the years, though less lately. My question is, how are the classes? Last time I played most all of them were in an atrocious state, weaving was mandatory (CRINGE and UGLY) to the point that Arcanist was released specifically with a setup to negate weaving entirely.Has anything changed since then? I heard they did some sort of class refreshes?
>>3122440ZoS is doing refreshes, but so far they only did one for DK, allegedly with more coming next year. The next one is warden, then templar and the rest of the cast. We will be sure with the upcoming roadmap
>>3122440The combat is even more dumbed down now, the dps setups are basically identical across all classes and they all use beam.
>>3122460>>3122644I came to my senses and asked wtf I was thinking when I realized WoW Forever releases in a week.Maybe I'll play again when more class reworks are out.
Any thoughts on the Zhekleg style pages?I think it will look good on my necro
>>3123567Only nice things are the chest and legs, the rest are shit. Also, the whole spider theme ruins it.
>>3123567Once you collected all pages, there is nothing else to do during this event. Other drops are shit and not worth anyone's time
necromancers are the most oppressed people in Tamriel
Holly fuck March of Sacrifices is slow and boring.
>>3134075As far as dlc dungeons go, that is one of the worst ones in the game. I particularly dislike the tarcyr fight
Why even bother making solo versions of normal dungeons when the infinite archive exists?
>>3135313Because the Infinite Archive sucks. What they should have done is integrate the solo dungeons into the Infinite Archive, make them Mora's records of what events occurred.
>>3135313"New solo dungeons" sounds more impressive in ads and meetings, and just sticking the bosses in IA wouldn't solve the longstanding complaints about dungeon stories being a pain in the ass to experience. They should be doing both, but if they have to pick actual solo dungeons is better.
>>3135313They were made for different purposesIA is a survival activity.Solo dungeons is a chance for good players to experience hard dungeons without having to carry or depend on 3 random shitters queueing as fake roles.
>>3139072>3 random shitters queueing as fake rolesno one queue as fake dps on purpose
