It's a mess. I've only done the first dungeons but you'll never know if the people even know how to enter. I always have to wait like 10 minutes at the entrance and once were inside people are kind of just staring at each other if we should move forward.

Im finding the Alliance Campaign Wars surprisingly fun, I was iffy at first but having like 50 players all run at a castle with players on the other team fighting back is pretty awesome. The armours seem much better than the general stuff you get around the normal maps too.
The best thing I've seen is where a guy was getting attacked by a guard and other people must have thought it was a monster, like 5 people in a row ran over to help and all got killed one after the other.

while i was playing some dude tried to steal from the guards and got wrecked so hard, it's hilarious, best part is staring down at their corpse like "lol you failed"

Im also wondering...yesterday I picked up the attachments on my alt and you get 3 packs of treasure maps for the 3 different factions? Whats the point of this if you can only use the treasure maps that you have access to through your alliance?
Sounds great until that immersion is broken by probably some guys wife telling him to bring out the garbageBtw this game could be a really great opportunity for roleplaying. I mean if everyone used the voice chat like they were in a role.
I was crossing the bridge yesterday and I heard this guy talking:
"Heey, please don't leave."
"I am feeling so aloooone. I just want a friend"
"Hey what are you doing? Nooo, please don't kill me"
"Noooo! Aaaaaaaaah"
Here is the clip of it. It didn't record the voice though.

Really enjoy the game but text chat is a must.
I can't believe it doesn't have any text chat at all just something to communicate basically for the start of a dungeon or location of your huge mob of pvp players.
It's nice the voice chat is well done but to sacrifice text chat will probably kill the game for me at some point, I'm happy to type the odd words but I don't wear a headset all the time nor do I want to chat with the guy blacksmithing next to me.
Basically at the moment I don't communicate with anyone, if there was text chat I'd have asked numerous questions and said hi and thanks to loads of people too.

You're either on the NA megaserver or EU
When you start up the game, in the menu you select "play" below that it says witch megaserver you are on, and you can use that option to change megaserver iirc.

Oh so there is no specific server I have to choose if I want to play with GAF? I am NA/PSN btw.

So all of EU GAF what are you playing as? Finally going to have time to play this today away from work and study, and not just half an hour here or there like the past week (in that time I was just creating characters and messing around in starting zones).

Nightblade assassin only level 11 at the moment, ebonhart pact. I have been levelling really slow compared to other mmos and things were pretty dull initially I thought but now it's clicking for me and I'm loving it apart from the lack of text chat.
Something weird happened yesterday. Me and my wife play together. But when we logged in I did not see her on my friend list or in group anymore (before it would stay when logging out) But when I tried to re-add her it said she is already on my friend list. It is just not showing up. Luck for use we are in the same room so we sorted it , but it is still weird why that was not working. Other people did show up on the list even one who I do not even know. So maybe a database glitch showing me the wrong names? I got nothing really.. but something like that could suck if you meetup with people across country.
Also I am still annoyed it uses my username instead of character name,at least use both like in guildwars2. What is the point of choosing a character name if you don't use it in game, might as well call them slot 1 slot 2 slot 3 .. Combined with the fact it is voice only it kills all role playing ( I play often play a female character when grouping with my wife)
anyway , so far game seems a bit chaotic with everyone running around like a lunatic, hopefully it calms down a bit when people level up and spread across different zones.

You have access to all three alliance areas eventually, or you can make alts in each alliance and give them each the maps for their specific areas.
Beyond that... it's just great. The world, the skills and even some side quests that go further than you might think. But yeah, being an online Elder Scrolls certainly helps it's cause. I figured it would do well on consoles after playing the beta.
Go the lfg route, like people do in Destiny, go on the site, I think they have group finding for ESO as wellMan I really can't find a group for dungeon, has anyone been lucky with group finder?
I have been queued for 2 hours and nothing
Also how does it work do you get teleported into the dungeon or you have to walk there?

I'm not sure if it's broken or that people just don't use it. Spent awhile in queues last night. The only one I finally managed to get it only had 2 other people.
You can teleport there just like porting to a shrine. It doesn't automatically do it.
EU server is really not fun to play right now... always being queued as position zero and 30 sec waiting time... takes around 10 minutes until I can select a character... afterwards I move a bit and get disconnected. -.- Worked fine yesterday and this morning.
Anyone else having a lot of issues right now on EU?

So after all the talk before the game was released to join daggerfall the EU guild is on Ebonhart?
I think developers do own consoles, and that's why the game has voice chat, something much better than text chat. I'd like to see people communicating via text chat during a raid boss or something like that. It must be funny.

My friend and I (tank and healer) were in queue for 2 hours last night and didn't get anything. I refuse to believe the game couldn't find 2 DPS to match us with, so I'm pretty sure it's broken.Man I really can't find a group for dungeon, has anyone been lucky with group finder?

Aye, in the group finder buried in the UI there's icons for these - but otherwise, come on, it's a very casual experience. You can solo many hundreds of hours of content without even needing to group.
Not having these things is what makes the game great. It's less hand-holding and requires a little more effort on the players part to figure things out. Much more preferable to having the game guide you through every minute detail of the game like other MMOs.

Yeah, Corris dun goofed. Hah.
I can't login on EU. Just trying to get my char going and accept my guild invite.
Personally, I agree. There's a disconnect with some gamers where they post threads saying there's no original games any more, everything is the same... And then the minute a console MMO comes out which doesn't have text chat, minimaps, buff and XP numbers scrolling all over the screen like bingo, there are cries. If you add every single MMO feature to Elder Scrolls, it will not be unique and accessible.
They want the 30m people who picked up Skyrim. The 'lack' of certain features is design choice, not lack of development time - they started back in 2007.
So I have a few burning questions...
1. Can I join the Gaf guild without being in Daggerfall Covenant?
2. Can I visit all areas in the game with one character?
3. Why do none of the maps list places like Skyrim as playable? Skyrim is playable in this right? All the maps focus on faction territories and Cyrodill.

you can teleport to it only if you have already discovered it on the map.

Ahh. Now the game is behaving like a launch MMO, good times!
It's pretty obvious to me that a hell of a lot went into this. The fact that it feels more like an Elder Scrolls game than a typical MMO is why I love it so much. As far as MMOs go, this is easily the best one I have ever played because of it.

A common courtesy request from all ESO Players:
When you are harvesting a node for a plant, chest or any other item, please take all items that it gives you. I know some nodes when harvested and some chests have fishing bait, but if you don't take all the items, the node never resets. So if you find some Raw Jute and it also has another item like Insect Parts, only taking the Jute will make it so it does not respawn until someone takes the insect parts.
Same applies to the random treasure chests in the world, leaving an item in the chest forces it to stay spawned and it will not reset due to someone leaving an item in the chest.

Are you sure it will not reset or just take longer to reset?
Precisely. That has been the downside of WoW's popularity. It became the standard, and it has taken over a decade for the market to break away from that standard. It's been frustrating as an Asheron's Call and DAoC player.

Some of them are pretty far reaching. I had a quest I did when I was level 5 and some of the characters re-appeared in a separate quest when I was Level 25 or so. They have some really good quests in the game, some with decisions that will alter characters when you later interact with them.

I am pretty sure long term it will. I tried testing last night and it was well over 2 hours and a node had not reset. I tried harvesting it, it only had insect parts, I left it on purpose and harvested other nodes around this one. Came back 30 min later all the others for the most part reset, except that one. Did a few quest and checked again before logging out and it was still there.
On PC this was a common thing that the community pretty much rallied around that when you harvest a node of any type you take everything so it gives the next player coming along a chance at a fresh node.

Yes still do it you will get decent xp it's just a little lower lvl than you.
Green= little lower than you easy to complete
Yellow = around your level still easy to do
Red= qst much higher than your current lvl probably need to lvl to complete

Don't forget to visit the Stable master every 20 hours to feed your mount. In short, you pay 250g and you can raise earthier the Stamina, Speed or Carrying Capacity of your mount. The most lucrative is the carrying capacity, You can raise it by 60 inventory slots. Once you pay the 250 and select carrying capacity, it adds 1 additional slot to your carrying capacity up to a max of 60.
It is the same for stamina and speed of your mount. Those can also be raised up to level 60. But definitely invest in the carrying capacity as long term it is a huge benefit.

So I can no longer login.
I crashed last night back to the PS4 Menu and now I'm greeted with this message when attempting to login:
"Login Failed: An unexpected internal error has occurred. Please contact customer service at help.elderscrollsonline.com."
I've tried logging in to the US Server and thats fine, I can get to character creation, but as soon as I switch back to EU, the same error message appears.
I've emailed their support to see what can be done.
Any one had this besides myself?
Edit:
Hmm, after a bit of googling it appears this seems to be wide spread for the EU Megaserver.
Damn it.
