Played the PVP campaign for the first time since beta where I had been totally lost and bored. Had an awesome session with a big party raiding castle after castle. It was intense... didn't think I would have much von with PVP. I was surprised that I was able to achieve things even that I only was lvl 11. Already became recruit grade 2. A lot of fun actually, I can see me playing this a lot more than I thought! If you're like me and wanted to pass on PVP, you still might want to check this out, it's really fun after a short time. (Don't go alone though...)

Loot is also great!

What campaign would you recommend? Should I pick a 90-day one or something else? I'm pretty lost but I want to try it out.

Don't know the name of the campaign out of my head. But I'm playing the 7 days campaign. I orientated myself on CorrisD who leads the NeoGaf EU guild. He claimed a castle for our guild, that's why I joined that campaign and I thought a short one might be good for a start.

Anyone from the Guild on here should be able to invite you, I won't be home till late today but if no one has by then I'll send you one.

Heh, I really didn't know what I was doing, and 7 days seemed like a better one to pick than the month or 90 day one when they lock you in unless you pay to swap, I know there's a 5 day one but it filled up super quick. Claiming a castle as far as I know means you can have a guild merchant there to sell your wares, not that we have one quite yet, but it was nice to plaster the name on the castle.

When we hit 50 members, and can pay for one. We were at 40 when I was on yesterday, but there's got to be way more of us EU players on here that can join. To help pay for one to start us off, and possibly for the heraldry, I might charge a small fee of money for the next rank that would let players sell, I would pay this too of course, but otherwise I don't think it will be easy parting people with money, lol.

Don't we have 50 already? How much money do we need for this? Can't wait to put some deathwind set items in there :)

The PVP sounds like fun. Can it be compared in any way to the Warhammer Online (RIP) PVP battles? I loved the whole castle defending/attacking action :)

EDIT: And I was really really surprised how smooth it still was with so many players on one spot. Especially since all 3 factions fought there.

Click to expand...

Performance is great in most cases but lag is sometimes almost not bearable. Didn't have that big fights yet, but if I had to guess an amount of players in the big fight yesterday... I would think that there had been 300+ players minimum. (Really don't know, impossible to count that :D)

Yes and I was able to finish 3 explorer (check out mine, castle etc), 2 siege (take castle, farm etc.) and 4! kill quests (kill 20 players, kill 20 sorcerer etc). Gained 4 alliance lvls and earned around ~20k alliance points to buy stuff (no coins used to buy stuff in alliance wars). Really didn't feel that underpowered. Was amazed by this actually.

This is an embarrassing question, but how do I actually leave Pvp? :p

Also, am I doing it wrong or something? I have to run really long distances in Cyrodiil, like really long distances. I'm on the first couple of quests where I should go to sieges, farms etc. Can't seem to quick travel around the map either.

Haha that was a biiiig problem I had during beta^^ You have to leave the PVP area via north / south etc. entrance and take the normal wayshrines (like everywhere in the normal areas) to teleport you out of the area or just walk through the big door (not sure about that, always used the shrine to teleport myself out of the area, just like you do in non-pvp)

To teleport to other castles, you have to use those special transitus stones then you can select a connected castle to teleport yourself. Castles under siege are also blocked. This might actually help you a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83LlvgNwToY

Im trapped on Khenarthi's Roost island!

An npc i need to speak to for Perils of Deplomacy (one sitting at table in corner) is invisible and i cant talk to him/her... changed areas, quit/reloaded game, next day, same problem...

Figured i would move on and try later... so i figured id return to the mainland, but the NPC to return has the same damn problem!!!

In the area north of town i often get attacked by invisible mobs too...

The game just became unplayable for me D:

Not sure if related, but loads after death or fast travel are incredibly long too... 1-2 minutes... but maybe normal when changing areas?
Click to expand...

Had this problem too, but shutting down my ps4 + router completely solved the problem. Also the developers of TESO already mentioned several times on twitter that this bug will be addressed with the next patch. Don't know how trustworthy that support is, but I read this all the time on their twitter feed. You might want to wait as I don't think it's account related... more bandwidth or whatever related.

Is there any reason to focus on light/medium armor when heavy protects better and takes up the same amount of inventory space?

I had the same issues and if you go to the ESO forums you'll see a lot of people are having the same issues. It's something on their end.

For me I still get the silhouettes often, and long loading, but the invisible NPCs and enemies seemed to have fixed themselves for now. I suggest moving on from that area and doing something else, it's what I did and eventually going back to the mission the characters I needed were visible again.

Saw this on reddit and its been great for me (if you're going healer)

My tips for a templar healer.

First ability in the Aedric line (forgot name), that should be morphed to Puncturing Sweep, is your melee range AOE ability. The first ability in the Dawn's Wraith line, morph to the one that hits multiple targets, is your ranged attack. The last ability in the Dawn's Wraith when morphed to Radiant Destruction is your end-game ranged and execute ability. Nova is the correct ult. That is really all the offense you'll need to get into the vet levels.

For early game healing get the first ability in the restro line, morph it to Healing Springs. This is your AOE healing over time (HOT) spell. It will stack so try and to always keep it up during dungeon fights. Also get the first ability in the Restoring Light line, morph it to Breath of Life (BoL). This is your "oh crap" button. It is the best burst heal in the game. BoL is expensive so use wisely. These two alone will get you through most of the early dungeons.

I've got a v14 templar healer that I use for running some of the high level end game content. At this level I go with a restrorestro weapon setup. My bars are: Breath of Life, Puncturing Sweep, Healing Springs, Extended Ritual, Repentance, Ult: Nova and bar two is Breath of Life, Radiant Destruction, Luminous Shards, Syphon Sprit, Structured Entropy, Ult: Nova

Note, I've got BoL on both bars; you do not want to get into a "oh crap" moment and have to worry about which bar you have up. Also notice the second ability on both bars is my offensive spell, Puncturing Sweep is my AOE, Radiant Destruction (the Jesus beam) is my execute spell.

Armor: start with 5 light, 2 heavy till you get your character level up into the mid 40's, at that point switch to 7 light. When you are able to do some armor crafting, or can find someone to help, you'll want a 5 set of the Seducers armor. Great passives for a magic based build.

Attribute points should be a ratio of 2 magic to 3 health. Later on put 2 (total) into stamina for dodge rolling, etc. Note, the attribute distribution is what I needed at end game. As you level up put the points where ever they are needed.

Lastly, as a healer, your job in a group dungeon is to keep everyone alive. If you can toss in a little damage, great!. But, if you've used up your magic doing damage and cannot toss out some healing when needed your group could wipe and you'd have failed. So, heals is first priority, damage second.

Yes, each armor set has unique passives and skills. BUT, if you don't put any skill points into those passives of skills, then heavy armor is the clear choice to select.

Great stuff, I just created a Brenton Templar healer on the ebon heart pact.
Wanted to give healing a try since my friend is a terrible templar.

She rather deal damage in a dungeon than heal and only heals when she see someone is about to die and doesn't even do a good job of that as she's always focused on the boss.
I had enough of that and was like, aight, ima become a healer a do a MUCH better job than that.
Playing FF14 and my main being a healer for the hardcore dungeons, it was making me cringe and frustrated seeing someone play a healer as a dps.

I'm surprised by how slow leveling is in this game, unless I'm missing something. Just been working my way through Stonefalls doing all the quests I find along the way.

Managing inventory in this game is a pain in the ass, I'm constantly full.

Use your bank account! Everything you need for crafting can be used, even if its in you bank account, also weapons / armor can be dismantled that are inside your bank. This really helped me with my inventory.

I dropped a few things into the guild bank last night. I also listed my Reguard set and Dwemer shoulder motifs on the guild store to see if I can get any gold that way. I may have overshot their value for this first try, though, heh.. ;)

My brother and I just got hit with a "rollback" on the XB1 NA server.

We were in the middle of a quest halfway to level 45. Our progress was undone. My experience was reset to about 10% past 44, and he got rolled back all the way to 25% to 44. :/

Got corrected. We logged out, logged in about an hour or so later, and everything was OK.

I'm really gutted to write this but I just can't get on with this game so far. I'm level 9 and I don't think I can play anymore. The quests are unbelievably dull. I mean how many times do you have to go and see someone, for them to tell you you need to speak to someone, and then go collect some random shit, bring it all back and move on....

There is zero imagination in the quests and I find myself not caring about the world or the story at all. The dialogue is uninspiring, and now I just hit skip.

It's cool that they made such a big world and the combat is OK. I've never played a MMO before and maybe they are just not my kind of games.

I did try, the running is also doing my head in and 10000 for a mount is a joke. Also to have premium to halve the time needed for farming is a slap in the face for a game I spent £45 for.

Sorry for the rant. If anyone can counter these points and convince me to carry on then I will. Just needed to vent. Peace.

You just described every RPG I have played in the last 30 years.

I enjoy it, everything is voice acted, I enjoy all the quests that require me to go back in time and take place in key battles.

As far as the mounts? I got sick of walking at level 2 and for $15 bought myself a mount, no one got time for walking.
