There is a big drama thread on the closed beta forums over the most recent Emperorship. Some backstory first. AD has dominated Cyrodil for the 2+ months I have been in closed beta. When the first wave of beta testers got invited, they all went AD so that means AD has more VR10 players as well...

Umm, ever played Oblivion or Skyrim? I'm guessing you haven't or you would have known the hundreds of caves in those games are all pretty much the same. TESO is no different.

You get to choose your own Home campaign. Guilds will have to inform their members which campaign to select.

So let's assume 5 days into a 90 day campaign PRX is dominating, Tuco has been crowned Emperor, and all the supposed hardcore PVP guilds in EP and DC faction have already given up and fled to other campaigns. PRX finds themselves with not much PVP action in their Home campaign. Here are the...

I was under the impression PRX will be coordinating with opposing hardcore PVP guilds in the other two factions so that all the hardcore PVP guilds will all be fighting against each other in a specified campaign? If so, you shouldn't have to worry about the losers wimping out and quitting and...

FYI the AOE grinding strat in that video is using Impulse, the 5th skill in Destro staff (AOE damage), morphed to Elemental Ring that adds additional DOT damage. For PVP, the best choice morph for Impulse is Pulsar. In addition to AOE damage, at max rank it decreases the targets maximum...

That's a nice strat but did you catch where he said he was VR6?. He was also going into a lower level dungeon where mobs were regular level 45-50. IMO that strat isn't for leveling up your character. That strat was for leveling up individual skills while getting some gold and crafting mats...

Since the release of 0.17, every patch since then has been delivered roughly two weeks later.

The Elder Scrolls Online v0.181 features many fixes and improvements to existing content. Here's a brief overview of what awaits you in this test: Streamlined and made modifications to the tutorial. It should now be faster to complete and have more interesting encounters. Many adjustments to...

No idea really but I would guess no more than a couple thousand active testers at any given time. I would not be surprised if it was a lot less. There is absolutely no way we will ever have enough testers online at the same time to conduct a legit stress test. That is why the #1 purpose of...

I assume they think it's more important to do a stress test and identify/fix all the kinks and bugs in the mega server architecture first before releasing content redesign to the weekend beta servers. You'll get a new patch the next time so if you are only playing the weekend betas to test...

Every dungeon instance in vanilla and TBC was high quality IMO. Deadmines and Scholomance probably my two favorites group dungeons. Karazhan was far and away best PVE raid experience followed by MC and BWL.

Because 0.18 broke magicka regen and guild structure. This was discussed several several pages back. Zenimax also told us they wanted to get feedback from closed beta testers about the 1-10 redesign before deploying it to weekend beta servers. FWIW there are a LOT of complaints from the...

FWIW vanilla and TBC era WoW is my favorite MMO experience since I started playing MMOs the week EQ1 was launched. Whenever a new MMO came out that I was interested in, I would take a break from WoW for a few months. One thing I noticed every time a new MMO was about to come out is how...

Fully agree. The live mega server will have to perform at the same quality level that we are seeing on closed beta.

Only the skills slotted on your active bar gain EXP when you kill a mob or complete a quest. I have been told it doesn't matter how many times you use the skill or not. For that reason, when you are about to complete a quest, it's a smart idea to remove skills you have already morphed and...

It should be almost an instant switch. The combat lag in 0.17 had a negative impact on how long it took to switch but it hasn't been a problem since 0.171. You can use the same weapon type in both sets but you will need 2x weapons. In other words, if you are dual wielding on both sets, you...

I knew you wouldn't be capable of reason since that would force you to admit you were wrong and just making shit up. I do think it is funny how you are trying to wiggle out of this by claiming it is a "he said/she said" argument. You are just flat out wrong about itemization. Nothing you...

Probably a waste of time to try and reason with you but here goes. #1. The torch dungeons are nothing but caves that a solo player can easily finish in 10-15. They are no different than the 100s of caves found in Skyrim and Oblivion. Trying to make all of them unique would be a collosal...

What are the criteria for determining if a MMO has a "soul"? Is there a industry standard that has consensus agreement or are the criteria individually subjective?

What kind of PVE do you like in MMOs?

Once again, you have the facts confused. People were complaining about combat lag and responsiveness. I correctly pointed out that the 0.17 patch, which was supposed to address the problem, actually made it worse. There were multiple complaints about it on the closed beta forums. Patch...

Do you see me whining and complaining about anything? People can say whatever they want to about me as long as they don't get their panties in a wad if I punch back.

What do you want to know about dungeons? There are 3 varieties: torch, public group dungeon and private group dungeon. Each zone has 6 torch dungeons, and one each of the other two. Torch dungeons are essentially just caves with a skyshard and a boss at the end. They are soloable in 10-15...

A 2H NB gets a magicka gap closer and a stamina gap closer. I am still going dual wield though. Morphed whirlwind (steel tornado) that gives extra radius is really strong. The damage it shows in the tooltip is misleading. What it shows is the damage it does when the mob is at 100% health...

You've got your facts confused over what I actually stated. Question for the weekend beta testers. How was combat lag and keystroke responsiveness this past weekend compared to the previous weekend beta tests you participated in? Some of you have posted that there was significant server lag...

When I decide to play another MMO or want info about one I will post in other threads. I have zero interest in Wildstar. What would it say about my personal character if I went into the Wildstar thread and started shitting it up knowing that I had no intention of ever playing it? I don't...

Its called good advice. The design of the PVE game doesn't change one bit at higher levels. If you hate what you saw in Stonefalls, it won't get any better for you.

What exactly are you under the impression of that I am denying?

You really should avoid making assertions about anything related to the closed beta server since you still have no clue what is going on over there. ZOS informed the testers the NDA was lifted for everything on the PTS except for what was divulged to us about the adventure zones by your...

That same counter of pressing S works against melee as well. As a NB, the Assassination and Shadow skill likes are almost all melee range attacks while Siphoning is ranged. With the exception of the gap closer in the Assasination line (Teleport Strike), you can avoid all of those melee ranged...

Got it. I'll just associate you along with Utnayan from here on out as someone who gives the impression they are frothing at the mouth with spittle flying all over their keyboard as they manically seek to score points on an internet message board insulting people with different opinions than them.

I will make it very easy for everyone. If you enjoyed questing and the group dungeon in Stonefalls (or the equivalent zones in the other two factions), you will enjoy the rest of the game since the PVE (questing and group dungeons) in every single zone follows the same exact design model. If...

In addition to reading comprehension issues, you also appear to have anger management issues. Were you so eager to insult me that you totally missed the fact I was quoting Tuco?

OK was just curious why you posted what you did unless you already knew it was the same person.

Reading comprehension issues? It was Tuco who made that statement about Utnayan/Vitality, not me.

That is at least twice now that Tuco has insinuated Vitality is Utnayan. Speculation or confirmed via IP address?

In the years I was lurking on the old FOH boards, I lost count of the number of times threads turned into meta discussions on game design. Is that all considered a dead horse now and frowned upon? Much of the discussion today has been about game design so I'm not really certain how discussing...

What little we know is still under NDA.

Cyrodil is obviously a major component of this game and if it works well, will keep the PVPers happy. The point I was making is that Zenimax is trying to satisfy the hardcore TES fans as well as the endgame PvE raiding community as well. Those are other major components of the game that are...
