Haha no. I'll probably play it on Tuesday evening when it's unsuable again. I just think that it'll take a couple days for ZOS to unfuck whatever problem they have they don't know about yet.

This is kind of why I'm on the fence about my preorder.

I'm sure some PTS people have some wonderful surprises they didn't bother to tell ZOS about. Incoming rollback due to Bob the Barbarian having 2 billion gold spread across the Megaserver due to the Shared Bank split sales exploit.

If you plan to get in on this, you may want to do it sooner rather than later knowing the above info.

Ya, I was a little surpirised when she answered my question with that 4 level group range thing. That is the first time I have ever heard about that.

it would be nice to tell that to the players though its an understandable mechanic to have in game.

I hate those mechanics in game. Being able to downlevel should be a mandatory feature.

it is odd that they have mechanics to scale you up to level 50 in pvp but not scale down outside of it or at the very least inside instanced group dungeons. queue ut.

That was a good catch.

FYI the combat log addon will still work but its been gutted of one of its biggest tools: the breakdown of damage by everyone in the group on the target. Now you only get your damage information.

I'm expecting it to be unusable until 5am EST on Tuesday.

I'm expecting the majority of people hammering the login server on Sunday while a handful of elite, selected by God people will be able to play the game and will macro their AFK times to avoid the login lottery boogaloo. I'm also expecting a lot of gold duping, powerleveling and other exploits called "clever use of games mechanics" by offenders. Then ban waves will happen, most bans being shortened afterwards because "they didn't mean it".

Anyway, since Cyrodiil will be the main endgame content at launch, how do you fine gentleman and outcast mongrels plan to build your OP, PvP focused, elite characters ? I'm planning to play a superninja permastealth Nightblade Archer because I think invis is king in RvR style PvP and fuck keep sieges let's gank people on white horses with -50% health bar on opening. How about you ?

Think I'm going to try healing this time, templar ftw.

I actually haven't chosen my class yet. I might do stealth for the first time in my MMO life.

You'll pick a Wood Elf Sorc. Mobility, Damage, Stealth. Don't like.

Well I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you wouldn't play a furry.
