You can pick any race with any faction while creating a character.

I think you can join up to 5 guilds though if you wanted to join this one too.

Isn't that only with the Explorer's Pack which was a preorder bonus? Friend and I held off because some of the stuff we didn't like hadn't been resolved by final beta but appears to be now and this is the last thing holding us back from purchasing. Hell we'd even purchase if we could buy the Explorer's pack as an upgrade, but we really don't want to be tied to a faction just because of race.
I would, but I'm in 5. Main guild, guild crafter, guild cache where guildies dump goods for crafters, guild gank squad (we have a main siege pvp guild and then our gank squad to cut off reinforcements when we take a fort) and a high end min/max guild built of old school hardcore mmo pvpers to discuss builds/where to farm/gear, etc.

That's possible but I don't really know honestly... maybe it is.
Edit: you are correct that was a pre-order bonus. So yeah that kind of sucks I guess.
no you cant, that was a pre order bonus (lol I know)

Its REALLY odd that they chose that to be a preorder bonus along with the whole imperial race tied to the imperial edition. So going forward are they going to sell that on their site? or is it forever gone now that you can't preorder anymore?

Probably be offered later but don't want to piss off the people that preordered so soon. You can get an upgrade for $20 to the imperial edition already if you own the regular.

I'd bet on the explorers pack being a buyable thing.

They have two sales (three if I can convince my wife) even if they just add it as a purchasable upgrade. If they're going to allow for it to begin with, even if it is a preorder bonus, then I don't think it should cost, but we like enough we are willing. I just hope they make a decision on it sooner rather than later. We gambled on FFXIV's update to be good enough we wouldn't want to play and that was a totally belly flop.

A question: If my boyfriend and I wanted to play together (on separate computers naturally) how difficult would it be to adventure together? Any strict limitations? Would we have to be the same race/faction or could we choose whatever we wanted and still play easily together?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Cool I'd love an invite to the GAF guild then. Account name @gyrspike
I have a VR4 Breton Templar gearing up for those adventure zones.

It's pretty simple, as long as you're the same faction. Some quests, very few in fact, I believe can only be down as a solo quest (some of the solo bosses; someone correct me if I am wrong). Beyond that, you guys can do the same quests together and teleport to each other free of charge. You also get a %10+exp boost when grouped.
Nvidia? Did you try the new beta drivers?

Ah, I have been hearing problems with add ons.

My girlfriend and I have characters that we play when we play together and have never had an issue. Even picking different choices during quests does not split us up and the only time you have to solo is during the story arc.

Man, watching this guy on Twitch tanking veteran dungeons and it looks like a blast. Especially seeing that he's not a typical stamina focus tank build and uses magicka and just stam for ransack. That's basically what I'm going for with my sorc.
Also it goes to show how silly a lot of the official forum threads are (yeah yeah, I know official forums). A lot of people have been knee jerking that the game does a poor job at trinity playstyle and tanks are useless/broken, etc. Doesn't seem to be the case at all.
I really like how group content is handled. Large groups of mobs, with a couple of hard hitters. Tanks can't hold every mob like they do in WoWesque MMOs. Keeps everyone busy.
Also from what I can tell end game for now and the next update seems to be focused on VR grind through questing and gear collection through drops. Doesn't seem like there is currency gear, right? I really hope that's the case and it stays that way.

thats what I do on my templar melee build, I only use ransack as a stamina user, the rest of the 1h/shield spells seemed a bit shit tbh, and ransack is super cheap to use. its all about that spear baby
although for the last few days ive been bowing it up not meleeing
You are not limited by faction in a guild. One guild can have players from all 3 factions

Although i'm a huge fan of the AvAvA PvP, a piece of me wishes they'd have smaller, competitive PvP as well. The problem is that AvA can take so much time, require so much coordination, and, in a bout of stupidity, the nerf of the kill player quest to a daily has greatly crippled the experience and worth of playing AvA. It can literally take 10-20 minutes to get to some keeps. That amount of time isn't worth it when the amount of exp you're getting can be practically nil.
The counter, though, is creating a fast-paced, 10v10 (or whatever) style of PvP could turn Cyrodiil into a wasteland, where people will opt for the faster gratification.

Can someone send me a Guild invite for the US/NA guild? My account name is SoupyFlow just like my name here.
Invite sent!
Now I've encountered my first real bugs.
Logged in and the game hung at the loading screen forever, never quite got to the game. Never had an issue before. I quit out, relaunch ESO and login in again and get straight in. Friends list: gone. Guilds: gone. UI: reset. WTF? lol
I'm hoping this is not a permanent thing and when I reload in a few I'll be back to normal.

I've also suddenly lost my guild membership apparently and I was fine minutes ago x.x
Got stuck on a load screen, force quit the game, got back in and insta-crashed, went in again after a few minutes and no guild.
Just now. Official forums has a big thread about this from the EU megaserver, said to run repair tool. Some said it worked, some said it didn't, so I'm trying it atm.

I would love a 4v4 PvP, arena style.... but I hear you on it's possible correlated effect on Cyrodiil's population: hopefully this bad boy get's big enough to handle both easily!
Ok thanks for the replies, so I know it's not just me.
I ran the full Repair and just logged back in, but not fixed.
The talk on the forums continually circles back to an "overflow" server, more or less stating you can't see them because you are on the overflow and that eventually you will swap back and they will be there. No clue if that's true or not, but I've seen it in several threads after googling this.
Overflow is legit:
From the ESO website...
EDIT: I just got thrown back into the megaserver while playing. Guilds back, friends back. Shew. They really should alert you that you are on the overflow.
Is that automatic and seamless, or you gotta manually logoff and back on?
Was seamless for me. Logging off at this time will just put you back in the back of the queue to get off the overflow, I'd guess. In another hour or two I'm sure everyone will be back to normal.
EDIT: Friends list never did show properly, though it did show me the numbers online and offline. Eventually the game just kicked me though, so now I'm back at square one.

Weird buggy night tonight, I guess the servers are getting hammered or something with it being Friday night. My girlfriend got stuck in Cyrodiil triyng to load for about 45 minutes despite trying to log out / in, restart, etc. As soon as she loads in I fell through the terrain and now my character is stuck in some blue afterlife with 5 fps.
Our adventures in Tamriel did not go as planned tonight.

Agreed totally... I don't mind the concept of an overflow server, but it was very alarming to log in and find my guilds disabled without any notice.
100% depends on how you are building your character, I have a lot of friends wearing all light with destruction fire staff as a DK, pure AOE/Mage as a DK.
