Just picked up ESO for PS4, but I don't really have anyone to play with. A guild invite would be superb if I could get one. Right now I'm around level 6, Nord, EP.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
I'm not really into MMOs at all, but it says this game has a sizable single player component, but is the single player stuff actually good? Or just Time consuming. Would I get a similar level gaming experience as Skyrim? Lots of stuff online, suggests maybe, but it's all intertwined with MMO stuff. So, if there was was no MMO part of the game, would it be worthy of being an Elder Scrolls game?

I've been playing this game by myself and I enjoy it. All of the quests are fully voice acted, and most quests have some depth to them. There isn't any, go here and kill 10 of this thing and then come back to me type of quests.
And the combat is a little more action based than most MMO's. There is a little bit of grinding at times but it's not too bad. But I am surprised how much I enjoy the game so far.

You won't find a Skyrim experience here, but it may be still be worthwhile.
I had a blast with it for about 10 weeks. At week 11, I'm ready for it to go on the back burner. I'll see how I feel after a break.
Some of the single-player content (even though it's not all easy to do solo) is a lot of fun: world bosses, dolmens, delves, and public dungeons, and crafting, skyshards and lore books to a lesser degree.
The quests, which is the bulk of singleplayer unless you grind (bleh), are mostly uninspired. Most aren't time-consuming, but they aren't particularly engaging either.
I gotta say I got this at Wal-Mart (price matched down to 40 bucks), and I've been having a blast.
Aside from the one group dungeon I did with some high level people, I have basically been playing the game as a single player experience.
The quests are ok, and the lore and conversation really makes me think of the Elder Scrolls Universe. I'm having fun building my characters skills and leveling up. I'd say at this point I've put 20 hours in and I'm level 19, just got to the Aldmeri Dominion capital.
I'm not sure this game will go down as a great MMO, but for 40 bucks I think I'm going to easily get my money out of it.

That's really the best way to play this game. Drop in and out and it will stay fresh. I still think the reputation this game has online is completely unfair, people talk about it online like it's the worst game ever made - I find most haven't even played or seen it.

It's definitely not the worst game ever, and it probably doesn't get the recognition it deserves for the combat, skill system and class-building.
I can actually see Bethesda incorporating some of these concepts into Elder Scrolls V.
I really love the balance they've found with training what you use and still being able to train the skills you'll need occasionally or in the future.

After mostly just going into Cyrodiil to get skyshards and do some quests and delves I decided to give actual PvP a try. Being in a huge group and attacking keeps like that was a lot of fun. Might start doing more of it and try to get some of the PvP sets.
Do you just try out the PVP through the campaign menu? I recently unlocked all that, but the tutorial description was rather vague.

Yeah you just choose which campaign you want and enter from there.

Does this game HAVE to take even longer to load every time it updates? EU here, and it's fucking amazing how long it's taking.

I didn't think XB1/PS4 got the patch alongside PC/Mac? I though it was the week of Sep 14.
No, it's just PC today.

Our whopping 7k bank funds, lol.
Thanks again, dude who stole our money.
Trueborn and Tacticalsoup are a couple of traders I'm a part of. But borh don't have vendors this week and I think the people who run Tacticalsoup might not be playing anymore because there haven't been updates. But, Trueborn is still very active and they even have a website. http://www.truebornguild.com/
Trueborn asks you to donate 10k though, but I've just been donating 1k a week instead.

No code needed to play so you're fine buying it used.

Went to log in on PS4 today after taking a few weeks off busy with other stuff. Said my account was perma banned. I had it on PC as well and it is permed there too. No notification at all, no reason, nothing. I had never done anything to warrant a ban so no idea why. I had to petition to get my account back online so I will see how that goes. Might be the last time I ever buy a Zenimax game again.

I'm in the same boat. Feel guilty every time I look at this thread. ;-)

I'm sorry, gaf. I left the guild. I know I didn't do my part but, it was discouraging to never see anyone around. If anyone is seeking activity, I suggest you follow me to the Dominion and join up with the Renegade Regiments. We're a large near max limit guild, guild trader and very active chat. We hold weekly events, and just had a fishing tournament and raffle.
If anyone on the X1 needs a guild. Message me: Victor 5avage

Does anyone on Xbox One NA Guild want to take over the guild from me? I just don't have the time to be the guildmaster and it is not fair to those in the guild. Let me know who wants it and I will transfer the GM title to whoever wants to take over.
Still plan to play the game from time to time, but right now things are just a bit hectic.

I just hit V14...., also completed every mission, found every shard. I think I can shelve the game now.
I was planning on purchasing the DLC but since my PS4 is used by several people in the home and this DLC requires that each person spend $25 I just can't justify it . I'd rather just drop it here like I did with destiny after wolves.
I'm actually pretty happy about it. With Fallout and SWBF on the horizon I'd rather spend my time and $ there.
PSA for console players - write down your skills. All skills and skill points will be reset tomorrow as so many skills have changed, so you need to reapply all the skills and assign them to buttons. This also applies to Passives.
Also, there will be 5 hours or so downtime on NA, EU servers on both PS4 and XB1. Also your PVP home and guest campaign will reset, and each PVP campaign gets unique rules (eg only points for capturing scrolls).

Oh damn, big news.
I just want to play again. I had surgery on my hand recently and still can't play any games for a while. It hurts that I can't play eso, especially since I was just finishing up the main questline.
Okay - big update rolls out:
Xbox One North American and European megaservers for Imperial City Patch September 15, 6:00AM EDT (11:00 BST)
PlayStation®4 North American and European megaserver for Imperial City Patch September 16, 6:00AM EDT (11:00 BST)
No exact sizes yet per platform, but the PC patch was 10gb. Expect about 5 hours+ megaserver downtime too.

I'm playing this again, in anticipation of Imperial City.
Now rolling a 2h/DW stamina based nightblade, the bow didn't offer any self sustainability, and 2h has rally which is a spammable self heal.
Need to do some pvp stuff to get alliance skill line leveled and get caltrops, for more AoE skills.
after getting all stressful during destiny's PVP, playing this is so relaxing.

Does anyone on PS4 want a vampire or werewolf bite? If not just gonna give it to randoms at the shrines in a bit. Just know that if you're low level you will have to do a quest with level 38 enemies to get the powers.
Heads up to Xbox One players again - the megaserver is going down from 6am east coast (11am UK time) until around 11am east coast (around 4pm UK time). There is also a very large patch today (6gb) and all your skills will reset (go blank) and skill points will be refunded. Also PVP campaigns reset and rules change.
Also the Imperial City launches, which is basically a very large public dungeon accessed via the sewers on the outskirts of the Imperial City (where you first emerge in Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion).
Edit: servers offline now for patching.
