Just just hold down each pin until you see it start to shake and then release. I mean as soon as it starts to shake.

I'm having trouble with lock picking as well. I don't think I have been able to open a single chest thus far. I will do a little research today to see what the trick is.

I had to take a week off from gaf, and now that I'm back I see that Aldmeri Dominion was not selected as the alliance here :-(

My loyalty is to the queen, so any of you peeps out there with an Aldmeri Dominion toon, feel free to add me, PS4 PSN: Akuma_818

Are chests supposed to disappear if someone else opens them before you? Seems so and I think it's stupid.

You spend 20 minutes working your way through a cave and every time you get to a chest, someone is there trying to open it, which you can't try to open simultaneously. Then when they do, it's gone and doesn't come back unless I'm assuming, you leave the cave and come back.

So tired of dying today because of all of the invisible mobs I keep running across while questing. Been happening in a bunch of different areas today.

Chests are on a respawn timer, like other MMOs.

Nope! Still no fucking idea what I'm supposed to do and it's not in the 'help' section of the menus because of course it isn't!

Anyone want to fill me in here? (How do I pick a fucking lock in this game?)

- Move the pick left and right with L stick
- place pick over one of the pillars and pull R2/RT to start depressing it
- when you see the pillar jiggle this is sign to release
- if timing is successful, it will remain depressed
- repeat for remainder of pillars
- complete all 5 before timer expires

- no idea how picks "break" in this yet... hasnt happened to me. Or do you consume one on every attempt?

My god, I just came home and the update is still downloading on my Xbone.

Guess I won't be playing tonight.

EDIT: Heh, restarting let me in, for some reason.

Mhm. What's the general consensus on which view plays better?

Personally I like playing in third person because it's easier to see what's going on around you while in combat. It makes it way easier to avoid aoe. Plus I like actually looking at my character.

If I'm just exploring, I'll switch it to first person.

Depressing the trigger the very unstant the wiggle starts (like just as the animation begins). It works well for me that way.

Really want to get this but have the logins errors been fixed? Servers any better?

Thanks

What platform? I did get Login Failed several times last night, but was able to get in eventually. I just got home and am trying to sign in on Xbox. Position In Queue number is updating, but it's crazy. 388,568 to 1 to 1490 and back again. I don't even know if I am really in a queue or not. The aprox wait time is always 1 second, sure.

Edit: Oh, I saw 1490 update to 747 a few times then got "unable to connect to the server". Rejoin queue and now at 404,389.

TL/DR No (at least not on Xbox NA server as of right now)

update: Okay. I got in. The queue system does work even though the numbers and wait time seem to be nonsense. The first time I sat through the queue it was not able to connect me to the server so I had to try a 2nd time. I'd say the queue time, at least right now, is about 5 min.

update 2: back in queue, got disconnected from server after a couple minutes, sigh hasn't this been out for over a year already on PC?

Dungeons are lots of fun. I wish the group finder teleported everyone once the full group was found though. It doesn't even make a noise or anything.

So what do you guys think of this game? I thought the PC version was universally blasted for being pretty sub par. I would love to get into a new Elder Scrolls game.

They have done a lot of work to the game since the original PC release. Plus, in my opinion, the game plays a lot better with a controller.

I'm having a blast with it so far, just wish I had more time to play. The only thing I'm disappointed with is the communication options. Not having text chat in an mmo is odd, and barely anyone seems to use the voice chat.

What are some of the things they have improved from the PC launch? I played up to level 20 when it was released on PC, and I'm not really seeing much that's changed so far up to level 8.

However, I too love it. I was playing with Pinnacle emulation on my 360 pad on PC at launch, but having native support is so much better.

What if I was in a party with friends, I assume voice chat would work for that right? I assume their is a way to pick a home server and have them all join the same one so we can easily play together? Is there a monthly fee to play this?

Sorry for all the questions, I am at work and can't google this stuff... :(

playing with friends has been a little weird, its not as simple as just say, meeting at a fountain. You have to make sure you are both in the same instance of that area.

grouping is the only way we have found to put us in the same world, it works fine though.
