green man gaming, maybe? you can use the 20% off code on it... look on the GMG forums for the code topic, i'm not sure which code it is, try several till it works
Having a blast with the game thus far. Playing an AD Nightblade as my main and a DC Dragonknight as my alt. I've heard that Sorcerer is the most fun class by far though, can anyone c/d?
Also, jesus christ how are people leveling so fast???? I've played for around 5 hours and I'm only level 7. Granted, I'm taking it slow, but the levelling in general felt pretty slow compared to say WoW, SW:TOR, or GW2 where your first 20 or so levels are lightning fast.
Lastly, NEED MOAR SKILL POINTS!!! Like I said I'm taking this game slow and playing like a super casual (I usually go hard with MMOs), going into the game with 0 beta time played and close to nothing read about the details behind the gameplay systems, crafting, leveling, etc... It's pretty refreshing but I'm tempted to look up Skyshard destinations and more details about crafting. Think I'll stick to my word though and just go back and get them all at max level.

They're probably players from the private testing server who had this planned out for months. Everyone else I've seen streaming all day are hovering around 20~
It's ultimately not a big deal unless you're legit racing for world first.
For sky shards, make sure you check out all the public dungeons (marked with a torch on the map). A majority of them have skyshards inside around the dungeon boss.
I know that I enjoyed my time as sorcerer, but DK looks like it could be mega fun for PVP with all those flashy dragon wing leaps and shit. Their pull skill is dirty as fuck, too.

I have not had one broken quest or bug as of yet. Only issue was what appears to be a server crash, but that was it.
My god, some of these quests are pretty amazing. I am only Level 7 at the moment, taking my time exploring and picking up quests as I go, but I was involved in a quest that seemed to go on and on and it was a blast. Characters that I interacted with earlier in the game ended up re-appearing as the quest came to conclusion. Even early this game has some pretty fun quests and visually it is pretty damn impressive.
Overall, having a blast with the game and no where near the cluster fuck that was the Beta at all. I know some are having some quest issues, but for me, it has been pretty much smooth sailing.
When you create other characters, like in other MMO's you get the goodies that your main character received, such as pre-order bonuses and stuff like that. Does this game work in the same manner? I created a few alts and I can't seem to figure out how to obtain some of the goodies I received for pre-ordering.
Thanks!

I played a sorcerer or a templar through all the beta weekends and i have to say the sorcerer was a lot of fun to play, i could be anything from a healer to a tank and a dps, a meat shield with HP or a glass cannon with damage.
The skill system is one of the things i most enjoy about the game, not as extensive as TSW's system but enough not to be daunting while at the same time allowing for liberty build wise.
This level 47 dude got owned by this lever puzzle. Spent a good 15 minutes trying to solve it, then just as he figured it out, his client crashed.
I might be wrong, but I think the preorder stuff applies to your first character only.

Oh my god, did I just get a free copy of TESO?
I did, I did just get a free copy of TESO. :O

It's 22.5GB to DL and 37 GB required
Sorcerer has a summon skill line that has "permanent" pets, but they are somewhat useless as it stands, you cant control them and their AI is non existent, so they end up being a small dot.
oh well
I don't want to rain on your parade, but you'll likely need a full release code to play for much beyond the end of the early access period.
You can get the game for about 32 euros at kinguin, i bought it there myself and its legit.
Will these be sent out on the actual launch day or something? I bought the game from GMG over a month ago and only received an early access code + a few beta codes.
That's what I would expect. Mind, I don't have the game and am just basing my answers off how it was with previous MMOs that do this sort of thing.

Nah, it's the full version. It lists TESO under my purchased games and also said I'll be getting the Explorer's Pack (including 5 days early access) for pre-ordering.
Edit: Under my billing history it says the product registered was 5 days early access, so now I'm not sure.
DOUBLE EDIT (omg): Some people in this thread said the early access code doubled as the retail code, co considering that and the fact that I'm getting the Explorer's Pack for 'preordering'...I think it's the full game. ^_^
Oh, I already have the standard edition. Just saying that I think it's two seperate keys.
At the moment, all PVP takes place in the region of Cyrodiil. You can participate in the large scale keep battles, or gank people in the dungeons, and open field.
Controller support isn't implemented at the moment, though I'm hoping they add it before the console versions are released.
2 keys yes, i inputed my 3 day early access code, and when that time is up (with a 2 day grace period), i have to input my game key to continue to play with the "free" 30 days.
I'm a big PvE guy and shy away from open world PvP.
But when you say dungeons and open field I'm guessing you mean just thos places inside Cyrodil? Also am I able to enjoy the game without ever going there.
I got that code from preordering the imperial edition.
I don't think that is the full game but if it is good for you
Yeah, only places inside of Cyrodiil.
For the most part, you don't have to step inside of Cyrodiil unless you're looking for high-tier crafting materials. They're relatively easy to gather without attracting unwanted attention though, thanks to the stealth ability that all players have.
So how does stealth/crouching work in PvP exactly? You're invisible to enemies if they are below a certain "detection" threshold determined by X factors? Still confuses me.

I created an add-on recommendation and suggestion thread on the official forums, if anyone is interested in taking a look.

If you crouch outside of battle, you won't appear to enemies outside of a certain radius. But you move at a reduced rate, and consume stamina when you move. There are abilities and item set bonuses that will reduce enemy detection, as well as remove the movement penalty from stealth.
If you initiate combat from stealth with a light / heavy attack, your hit will do additional damage, but you won't be able to restealth for a certain amount of time. This is seperate from the invis abilities that nightblades have, however.
If you notice an enemy with a glowing orb surrounding their character, that means they have the magelight spell active, which will detect you from a further distance.
In general, stealth is great for initiating / flanking, or just avoiding encounters that you can't handle on your own.

Level 7 or 8 AD Khajiit Nightblade. Currently using bow, will probably make either dual wield or sword and board my alt set.
Having as much fun as I did in beta, even running through the starter island for what's my third time now. At least it was fast! Cleared out skyshards and, I think, quests.
I am experiencing a lot of speccing paralysis, though. As a very inexperienced mmo player, whose past experience was with TSW and FFXI, I'm finding it so difficult to figure out what to dump stat points into that I haven't. I can't figure out which of the 3 I need more of.

So a friend wanted to play this and we decided to get this now instead of waiting for it to go f2p (as logical people ).
Now i see we have the 3 day early access. Does this means we can start from tomorrow and can't play today? If so anyone knows the time or if there's a way to get the 5 day's early access (although since i bought it allready i am guessing not).

I see thanks. Not too bad then. You would think they would post it in local time for each region but no..

yea we ll be waiting too. well more warframe time.
Actually so far my pet has been plenty useful. You can't control them but they do attack whatever you attack and so far he has kept aggro pretty well, which allows me to sit back and blast from a distance.
Also, for anyone not quite happy for the in-game AA and a Nvidia card there is a better solution. Disable it and then activate Nvidia's through Inspector and it's much better looking with noticeably less jaggies.
Sounds good to me. If you (or whoever) make it, give me your info and I'll add it to the OP.
Fine by me, im planning on starting a character in europe.
Sounds good, got a good 3-5 GAF'ers who are playing in a small group at the moment and would be happy to join

I pressed 'randomize' and this happened:
I laughed for a good minute or so at random Punk Freddie Mercury appearing out of nowhere.

I've only seen impressions from other forums so far.

What faction are people playing in?
