    I just look for the posters who I know were on PTS. They tend to have the threads with several pages of discussion.

    The official forums outright suck. Tamriel Foundry has the best forums IMO, especially for build theorycrafting.

    What download speed do you expect to be getting? On PTS I never got higher than 1MB per sec. On Live I got 2-2.5 MB per sec so I was actually pleased with that since it was better than PTS.

    For the people who are having major technical problems with the game, I wonder how much of that, if any, can be attributed to their ISP? I have ATT Uverse and I haven't had technical problems with any MMO in years.

    I said the same thing about the quest system two months ago and caught all kinds of flack for it. Welcome to the official TESO Shill club.

    Are you referring to EQ1 class epic weapons? If so I agree. Because I was a casual player, I didn't get my 1.0 epic until Planes of Power was released. I had been working on accumulating all the required quest drops for close to two years. Even though it took me a lot longer to acquire...

    I'm in no rush either. I'll probably be one of the last Day 1 players to make it to VR10. I typically only play one character in MMOs. When my character reaches max level and there is little else I can do to progress their abilities is typically when I start to get bored with a MMO.

    Yea the people who grind levels or spend most of their time in Cyrodil are going to have problems getting Mage Guild rank. The players who explore the PVE content will be the ones who level it the fastest since they will come across the lorebooks while questing and exploring. One tip I can...

    As others have already pointed out, you need to equip a weapon other than the Destro staff, especially at early levels before you get weapon swap. Main reason for that is because Destro staff uses magicka just like your class abilities and since your class abilities do more damage, there is no...

    In FTC 0.23, has anyone figured out how to move your unit frame and buff/debuff frame from its default position, which just happens to be under the chat window? I went into the Settings and unlocked all the frames but that doesn't actually unlock your unit frame.

    Your memory is failing you or you just want to quibble over semantics. A visual projection of the prophet meets you. It typically happens the first time after level 10 when you zone out of an dungeon, quest instance or use a wayshrine. You're really trying too hard. Perhaps you should...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Your main quest isn't gone. Once you do the first stage at level 5, you don't get the next stage until level 10 and then it automatically gets added when the Prophet comes to meet you. You would think someone who played in the beta would know that. There are plenty of functional quests in...

    What exactly do you think I am spinning? I was discussing my experiences so far. Others are also reporting no significant issues. The launch has been smooth for me but I'm not poopsocking it for 12+ hours a day either. Obviously there is a major technical problem they have to get fixed...

    Is your self esteem tied into this game failing? I personally don't recall anyone here proclaiming the launch would be polished with no hiccups. Fairly certain pretty much everyone expected it to be a typical MMO launch. What I did say is that I thought it would be extremely entertaining...

    Can't answer your question since I didn't order from GMG. I will point out I never got an email myself but I was able to log into the official forums by using my PTS forum name and password. That won't help you if you weren't on PTS but if you were able to access the weekend beta test forums...

    I've only encountered 2 quest bugs so far and this one fixed the biggest one, In the Name of Kate Beckingsale where the priestess script could hang. That quest rewards a skill point so be sure to go back and do it if you haven't yet. Only other broken quest is the frog race. 99.99% certain...

    If you twist his arm you might get Tuco to admit he had fun running a PVE private dungeon last night. We pulled it off with no tank and a crappy healer (me).

    As a gamer with limited time to play and who likes to PVP, there are a lot of pros to the WoW PVP design. If I only have 30-60 minutes of time to play, playing in a battleground minigame is sometimes more preferable than roaming the countryside in a RvR game looking for some PVP action with no...

    Spoiler below Lock picking becomes significantly easier once you realize there are only 3 possible locations for the tumblers. Once you know where those 3 locations are, you just have to be ready to click when it gets close to that spot.

    Looks like you are correct. I made the mistake of assuming April 4 and 5 day early access meant exactly that and not April 3 and 4 day early access.

    I don't get the "running for the sake of running" complaint. Each zone has its own main quest line that moves you through the zone. Along the way while you are out and about you run into quest NPCs who give you a quest for that general vicinity. Only time I notice the amount of time I spend...

    The overall population splits are probably fairly close. The problem is that when you pick a campaign, you see which faction has the most people so random bandwagon AD players are picking the one where AD has the most players and vice versa for the other two. The short term easy workaround...

    If you like solo PVE questing in MMOs you will probably have fun. As far as MMOs go, the quest system in this game is well above average. It's all a matter of opinion but the quest system in this game was designed to replicate the TES RPG games as much as possible.

    Took a break for lunch. Smooth sailing so far. Complete opposite experience of what I saw on PTS in that there are gobs of people everywhere. On PTS I typically only encountered other players in the towns. Of course that means there is competition for resource nodes but that was to be expected.
