The lorebooks and the skyshards are a cool idea but they're too well hidden. Chests and independent high-value low-time resources should be hidden well. Stuff that you need to progress your character shouldn't be well hidden. Right now I play with four monitors. One has my game, one has a map...

Kenpachi has too much soul energy to be directly manipulated by his bullshit.

Haha, it really is an empty victory. What are the other three groups claiming as a time? We did it at 5pm EST.

Tonight held our first PvP Training. We regularly hold PvP training in active games to organize new players and try new strategies. After we took a group picture. Then, we tested out some new strategies by guesting onto the Bloodthorn campaign. All land was held by the Ebonheart Pact...

I thought this was some kind of stupid joke until people started posting about it =( servers are up though! Jack, I don't know if Vit is 50. I'd check the ingame roster but....

poopsocking: playing so hardcore you metaphorically poop in a sock to avoid going to the bathroom. grinding: avoiding doing anything but sit in one area killing mobs. One of the first people in PRX to 50 did questing and no grinding. But he poopsocked pretty hard. Currently the best way to...

"Build us a system where almost all the time it needs to support 10 or 20 thousand users, and then once in a while needs to support over a million!"

The game we play really hasn't started for us. Right now we're just PVEing and getting things ready for war.

Animations, UI and database management in this game are the worst parts.

I think it's still in standard launch problems. It won't go into standard launch problems until this weekend hits and the server is down for most of it!

Heh that's kind of a silly bet. The servers coming down or staying up at release is a fairly poor indicator of success or quality. My server in WoW was down more than 50% of the first 24 hours of launch.

Sounds like revisionist history to me. The general sentiment was surprise it worked that well, but apprehension that release was yet to be seen. But yeah, the 5 day early access and even the 3 day early access was the smoothest first day launch I've played in.

Yeah it didn't take long in my compsci studies to realize that database programming and administration is a very specific subfield of compsci with very important considerations and I didn't want anything to do with it beyond using using a stock installation of SQL/oracle.

Haha I feel the same way. Suck it people who are are able to play when I'm not!

haha yep. Man in the middle attacks where someone exploits a flaw / stress and hijacks another's session is a non-trivial problem to fix. But for that to happen accidentally while a player is normally using the system? That's really pathetic.

Does anyone who ordered from GMG have an invitation to the official forums?

"Ok what do we have, 2 sorcs, a nightblade and a templar." "I'm a templar I can heal. Hang on I have to have a healing staff somewhere...." It was a good time, thanks for setting it up, I was planning on never doing that dungeon at an appropriate level!

Looks like I picked a good time to go to sleep. Why am I posting on my phone in bed?

Nope! You're emp for life! Or until the keeps get taken.... I'm betting that the emp on Dawnbreaker will hold the record for longest emp for a long time.

Ah the one guy I'd feel bad about changing the avatar of.

I hope not, I'm starting tomorrow.```````````````````

I heard the first guy to 50 was some beta tester who knew about a broken quest and got there in a couple hours, lol.

Flight come play TESO with us!

Collecting bear asses would be preferable to the quests they have now.

I'm excited to see it. Been looking forward to it since the last one ended.

If you're talking about PRX, there's instructions in the OP for how to hook up with us.

I didn't play Rift, so I can't comment on its release.

The mob XP nerf is so infuriating. If you built a quest system that would make you want to dungeon-squat in a cave somewhere and just grind mobs all night while drinking, watching movies and shooting the shit in teamspeak you'd have TESO's quest system.

Put me in the group of people totally wrong about launch. They're still not officially launched of course, but after a day of pre-access this is the best MMO launch ever.

Oh his brother is coming up for sure.

Aldmeri Dominion. And we're on the Dawnbreaker campaign (You choose the campaign when you enter Cyrodiil).

hit 450 today.

It's pretty jarring playing an ES game and not being able to steal the silverware.

How it should have gone.

Alliance: One of three factions that determines which areas in the world you can visit, and which side of the map you're on in the campaign. Campaign: One of many instances of Cyrodiil where each of the three factions fight each other.

Also we're on Dawnguard.

We're in this for the long haul and early victories do not determine the final outcome, but we have had some success in Cyrodiil so far. As far as I know we have the world's first keep claim and our faction got world first emperor.

304 iirc. I'm sure there'll be more added continuously.

Haha. They even nerfed just grinding mobs in dungeons because people were just killing shit and leveling.
