Do we have a GAF Guild on PS4? I'd be interested in joining if it exists.
It's dead.
I think there is a ps4 community though. Which helps for grouping..
EDIT: Maybe we should think about starting a new PS4 guild solely for the purposes of grouping (not having to worry about traders and all of that)? Or perhaps one of us can get ownership of the old GAF guild and we can go from there?

I still play it and I believe I have ownership status, could send invites if you guys want to join.
Thieve's Guild DLC trailer:
https://youtu.be/TbpZki26f00
Launches in a few weeks. A new area of the map again.
Also one key change from the ESO website (which I talked about here about a month ago and got blasted for): "Access to content from other alliances in any order you choose upon reaching Veteran Rank 1"
Translation: once you reach Veteran Rank (level 50) the whole map opens up to you.

I left it a few months ago as I only ever saw on person online (someone with an S, I can't remember) but if more people are active now, I'll gladly rejoin. PSN: wquinn
Good stuff my Nightblade is ready
Thanks man!
More on the Thieves guild DLC: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/...-the-Thieves-Guild-DLC-with-Rich-Lambert.html
Some notes...
Maw of Lorkhaj (12 player trial) will scale like dungeons do
added in more criminal activities into the justice system:
---> Trespassing: "Certain locations in Abahs Landing are off-limits where just being seen there is considered a criminal act. These locations are accessible via clearly labeled entrances that make it clear you will be trespassing. While doing so, the on screen justice indicator will notify you of your illicit status."
---> Criminal Mischief: "(forgery, vandalism, etc) While you are on quests or exploring Hews Bane these actions will be highlighted in red before performing them to indicate their criminal implications. Being witnessed performing criminal mischief will incur bounty, just as with other crimes."
---> Bounty Pardons: Thieves Guild may reward members with documentation which conveniently erases some of your accrued bounty.
Thief skill line: make it easier it is to be a successful thief. Example, Clemency: "the ability to sweet talk your way out of being arrested by a guard for a limited amount of time."
Re: other alliances/VR1 - "Once a player hits VR1, they automatically unlock access to the other two alliances worth of content and you can progress through them in any order you wish. When you finally do meet up with Cadwell and receive the Silver/Gold questline, any progress you already made towards its completion is automatically updated."
---> Cadwells silver/gold quest rewards have been improved significantly
Kiiiinda hyped!

It's crazy how good the game looks in ultra high settings on PC probably the best looking MMORPG on the market right now.
The DLC looks really nice and I like that thievering activities are not contained to new zone. Seems like you'll be able to do them in the entire world.

Changes coming to the base game on all platforms in March:
- Improvements to grouping, including incentives and the ability to queue up via the Group Finder with friends and guild members, regardless of their alliance!
- Tons of combat and gameplay balance improvements
- Scrolling combat text (SCT)
- Improvements and updates to Cyrodiil and its campaigns
- Access to content from other alliances in any order you choose upon reaching Veteran Rank 1
- Prioritization of animations during combat
- Six new item sets available from the Alliance War leaderboards and Rewards for the Worthy mails
- Six new crafting styles
- Three Alliance Motifs: Found in chests in Cyrodiil and Imperial City
Malacath: Received from Orsinium Daily World Boss quests
Soul-Shriven: Received from completing the Cadwell's Silver quest (automatically granted to those who have completed this quest)
Trinimac: Received from Orsinium Daily Delve quests
So from March you will be able to go anywhere on the map (after reaching level 50) as it's all battle leveled, and players across factions can queue for the same dungeons and trials.

I hope text chat comes to consoles with the Thieves Guild or shortly after. Loving everything they are doing with this game. It's the only MMO out right now that I can sink more than a few hours in before getting bored.
Probably for the Dark Brotherhood DLC, if I had to guess.
this is is what they said about text chat

People need to get over the hate for this game, the youtube comments section is filled with vitrol and unjustified hate.
ZOS is doing a great job improving this game after a very rough launch, they offer the best business model for a MMORPG IMO (along with GW2). Yet in their youtube videos all they get is hate because it's not TES5, as if they have anything to do with that. Just hope they don't get discouraged by these shitheads who can't differentiate between ZOS and Bethesda.
sorry for the double post dammit, just really tired of the hate this game gets. It's probably one of the best MMOs in the market right now and it gets ridiculous hate.

Aw man that's kind of a bummer. But I can't be mad because it's finally coming, and SCT is a nice bonus I didn't even ask for.
And totally agree on the hate this game gets, it's actually absurd. A weird circlejerk mentality that stemmed around the beta and very initial launch of the game and it has just never went away. Most of the people giving it bullshit either never played it, played it very briefly during beta, or have only seen Angry Joe's review of the game. It's my favorite MMO since WoW and that isn't a fluke.
Totally that right there. Most of the people I talk to who have this unwarranted hate toward the game have only ever seen that Angry Joe review. Dude should really do a revisit of the game, IMO, because shit like that only hurts the community.
Also, I'm really interested to see how SCT is implemented. I'm guessing it will be in a fadeable chat window where, eventually, text chat will also be tabbed in.

So, they had a Thieves Guild DLC special on their Twitch channel earlier today. I'm watching it now.
I kinda want that Camel mount. It's so absurd. I also really want to get the Mercenary Motifs. I really the style of that armor. I've seen a few people selling the parts in the Guild Store.
I need to level up, too. There's so much to do!

God leveling Alliance skill lines is such a fucking grind, I want the caltrops skill for my NB but getting there... Good lord, doesn't help that Azura's Star is a huge lag fest and the other PVP servers are so empty, they need to split the server population or something. Letting people choose a server led to this, one server empty and to other about to combust due the always been full.
Just not fun when there's so much lag.

There is, but I'm not sure how active it is.

I plan on jumping back into game this week. I haven't played regularly since launch but I understand the game has undergone many changes the last couple years. Excited that there's controller support now for PC....I was hitting myself for not taking advantage of the offer to transfer my account to PS4 for $20 when I had the chance. Also really excited about the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood coming after it!
I guess I'm a little unsure of where I should begin. I have a level 50 Sorcerer that is VR1....I had stopped playing once I completed the game's main storyline. I really don't remember much about the class and all my skill points have been refunded. Should I just stick with my Sorc and start doing the other faction stories to grind up VR levels or what? I really don't know where to begin. I'm half tempted to just roll another toon like a Nightblade and start over. Really not too thrilled about trying to do some PvP in Cyrodiil with a VR1 toon....I'll probably get steamrolled!

Tried out Wayrest Sewers last night, which was my first dungeon. Yeah, that went pretty badly.

I finally got leveled high enough to hit Cyrodil for PvP with a friend last night and we were getting absolutely rocked. I'm only level 10 but he is level 35 and, as I understand it, levels scale to sort of even out in PvP. It still seemed like we were nearly getting one-shotted and barely denting the others.
So long story short, are there any tips or fundamental basics we need to follow to have a shot? Seems like it could be a blast if we were even semi-capable!!! Thanks!

Very few tanks in this game actually know how to handle big mobs so, I'm not surprised. The dungeons are supposed to be super chaotic though, there's no AoE Aggro generating skill so Tanks have to rely on CC skills to control the battles. Every class has a CC skill for trash, when there's a big group of enemies everyone should spam those skills.
Going from tab targeting MMOs to this one which is more action based can be very jarring.
As for the PvP, there's a non-veteran server which is the one you should go until you reach Veteran Ranks. But yeah it's not really for one on one, it's a very zergy seige based pvp.

This is on sale yet again on PSN, and I was eyeballing it thinking about getting it...but it sounds like the community is pretty dead for this now.
Lashley

It's still very active online. Or do you mean the GAF Community?
The GAF guild is pretty stagnant but the game community, overall, is very much alive.

Man how freaking big is this update? I had 37gb free, and still couldn't download it. Had to delete a 20gb game (that I'm giving up on for now, rhymes with notch lawgs) to get it to work. Been stuck at 0% prepping for a bit now too, can't even see the download file.
Otherwise I'm pumped to play it...eventually....whenever I get to be able to play it. lvl 36 sorceress. Still absolutely love every minute of playtime.
PS4, and my psn name is in profile if anyone wants to buddy up. My play time is rather limited though

I messed around with it a bit yesterday and it's a great patch.
The SCT is very nice and clean looking and very non-intrusive. Can't stress enough how nice it is to finally see numbers.
The new group finders works very well from what I could see. It took around 10 minutes to queue for a dungeon for a DPS. But the problem still persists in the sense that some players don't realize what their roles are, the healer that was with us was more worried about dealing damage than actually healing. We died a bunch of times. The dungeons in this game are very chaotic, you don't feel that much in control and the game doesn't teach people how to play a role in group content, so if you are paired with noobs it could get ugly.

Holy shit. Just read up on all the patch notes. The idea of a follower instead of a pet sounds most interesting...granted, it's locked behind the Thieves Guild DLC....but that is awesome. Might actually buy this upgrade. I've got 5900 crowns in the bank, might as well. With all the skills it adds, I can see this DLC pack being fairly beneficial to newer players.
Granted....I still consider myself a newer player even at level 36....so maybe I am off base, but this new patch seems like one of the better ones ESO has gotten.

I got two 5500 packs the last time it went on sale. Grab them while you can and stock those crowns.
