Is explorers DLC included in the package or is it something that comes on preorder receipts?

I didn't preorder and just want to play a wood elf in a different faction! :(

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
It is a bit jarring doing some quests when there are so many other players around everyone just kills any enemies on sight and there's always at least 10 people standing around npcs.

Sounds like an MMO launch.

From the videos I've seen, it's included in the box. Just make sure there's a sticker indicating it's in there.

Okay so I waited in vain last night, now came home for lunch and I'm still getting Login Failed? What gives? Are servers down again? I got to the part where I make an account and get sent an email (which I already activated) but no further. Login failed every time.

is it true that if you create a character on the EU servers it won't carry over to the NA servers? or is this a known glitch?

Correct. You make a character on a given server, and that is the only place that character will be.

IIRC, you are free to use either the US or EU servers though, so you could make a character on both to play with friends from those areas.
 
I'm surprised by the very warm reception this game is getting. I guess they really fixed the game or people's expectations of it changed that much, but I do recall MANY outlets chalking ESO as a DOA turd when it launched on PC. I'll have to try it out if they add a 6 or 10 hour demo period or something. Way too on the fence (and busy with Witcher 3) to play now, but hopefully they do something like that if the game has seriously gotten good.

The fact that they were charging fifteen bucks a month at launch probably had a lot do with that.

Nothing you did on PC before will keep you from starting a new character and playing with friends.

Server options are North America, and Europe. You can change this when you're logging in. You can have characters on each if you want. There is no other server choice, but there is faction choice. You can have characters in all 3 factions if you want, but you do need to be in the same faction as your friends to play with them.

With your friends, decide North America or Europe, and decide on a faction. You will be able to make a character to play with them whatever you guys choose. Your old PC character doesn't lock you to anything.

Awesome info.. Thank you very much!

At launch of the PC version it was a turd. Even worse when the PC was in Beta. I got such a bad taste during PC Beta that I was thinking of not even trying it when it launched. Launch on PC was riddled with bugs, bots and so many other issues. Over the course of a year, they really worked to make the game great and when the 1.6 update rolled out it was just so much better.

If you look for any reviews after the 1.6 update came out which was about 2 months ago or so, it reviewed very well.

The game is so much different that Witcher 3 and I think playing both can coexist with each other really good. ESO is just so open in how and what you want to do. At times, I will log in just to explore and collect materials, other times I will group with friends and other times just solo and do some quests. There is just a ton of things to do in the game and it is really well done.
 
Put my name on the spreadsheet for the PS4 guild. Picking my copy up this afternoon on my way home from work. Playing on the NA Megaserver. I'm pretty pumped as this will be my first MMO.

Feel free to add me!
 
This is tempting, since I like TES games, but I don't have the time for it or play MMOs. My backlog is the weight on my shoulders right now.

Does the explorers code download on PS4? I entered it in and it just said code redeemed and nothing downloaded. I'm still downloading the patch so I can't check in game.

Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no way to turn on subtitles on PS4? That is kind of game breaking to me if I can't understand what NPCs are telling me because I couldn't hear them well for whatever reason.

Getting lag in Daggerfall

I'm annoyed we can't buy crowns yet.

Thanks

Starter areas are going to have lad due to the amount of new players in the area. I quick traveled to another zone and there was no lag and smooth. It is just 1st day pains.

Pre-orders in my area weren't great enough to constitute a midnight release, so I just picked my copy up a little while ago for XBO and it's installing. Are there still server/log-on issues? I only have two other IRL buddies to play with, so if anyone wants to play later, my GT for XBO is : GEToffMEHnuts (I know it's immature. I just don't want to pay $15 to change it)

There's no subtitles.

Well, that's BS.

EDIT: OMG, the excitement just hit me. I hope my hype isn't misplace on this title.

The random NPC chatter are not relevant to the games story or anything. Any NPC that you can click on and they zoom in will have text for what they are saying. The ones you cannot select are just non important NPC that will not offer anything to you. Some do say cool things though when you accomplish certain things, but nothing that will cause you to miss out on the main story or anything.

So if I plan to at mostly by myself, would playing on the Euroean servers work? I can access the European servers but not the US servers.

I'd forgotten how shit the psn download speeds are. Sitting on a 70mbit connection and the current speed is around 700kb/s. I was hoping to play today, but no dice :(
