No bugs at all here.
Really, I was griping about level speed before but it's picked up. I have about 18 hours in and I'm level 16. This is with a iot of AFKing, screwing around, staring at where to allocate skill points, and farming Skyshards. My big problem is I just can't play hours and hours of this game straight as it bores me. An hour or two and I'm good. 2+ and I'm Zzzing away. I've gotten severe gaming ADHD as I've aged.
This isn't the game, though,it's me. After 45 minutes of WOW or SWTOR and I'm good, too. The problem is those games are more built for that currently.
The only game to recently get me to play longer was P99 and after a few months of that I was over that garbage, too.
Community so far is good, outside of the large rush of people for chests and other things, which is fine. Par for the course. Looking forward to more grouping. I've actually enjoyed what I've done so far, I just am past the time where I want to do 10 hour blocks of the same type of mindless grinding, which really is what this and almost every other DIKU MMMO has become.
Thinking about picking it up for the weekend... is the game worth 30 $2 East Oakland crack-whore handjobs?
If ya can get that many johns all done in a single afternoon and evening, I'd say so.

I feel the same way (I'm lvl 11). I just spam fragment + heavy staff attack until mobs are at 20%, then the lightning spell that kills them and makes them explode. I've got no real CC ability, so fighting more then one mob is just awkward and turns into a rush to kill one of them before I get bum rushed (and I usually end up dead anyways [unless fighting mobs significantly under my lvl]), even then I am usually running on fumes in regard to my mana (and I have a lot of mana reduction passives). Combat just feels...really badly implemented.
It's just powering up. You still need to do a ton of stuff to level other things you need.

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 when we arrived, throughout the night we worked with TAS and Spec Ops to secure two keeps. Here's a picture of the first keep we assaulted.

So I contacted support about forums access invitation code today and got this:
Greetings!
Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online Team.
Until you have received a beta code you will not have access to the forums. If you are selected for a beta event, you will receive a separate e-mail with detailed instructions and forum account information. Until that time, the forums will remained closed.
Not sure if that was just an automated response or what.

Well, after redownloading the game, moving the installs around to different drives, trying all of the tricks in all the threads I can find, I can't log in at all, under any circumstances. 20+ crashes, some at the launcher, most trying to load any characters, including newly created ones, into the game world. Unbelievable; I never expected them to completely break the game for not everyone but just me. And a select group of friends.
If you can find the link online and you want to play in first person, there is an fov fix floating around, makes first person really fun. I believe it is technically against the TOS, but I don't know of anyone getting banned over it.
Same with enabling sweetFX, makes the game look so damn amazing.

To reply to my own post, I finally found something that let me log in:
Although my framerate is down from 60FPS to 40FPS (this is after a video card upgrade in the middle of all this just because, from a 7970 to a 290), and visibly worse graphics, with that change I can now load all the way into the game.

Well maybe you've narrowed it down to DX11. Not sure if it'll let you do DX9 as well as OpenGL. Try re-installing DX11

Wall of elements is a good choice and morph it to unstable wall. Also use destructive staff and morph it. With a flame staff the knock back stops most mobs special attacks.
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 reason to use the Destro staff skills. If you equip a weapon that uses Stamina, it gives you an extra resource pool to draw from.
What does the end game consist of, by the way? Kinda getting an itch to play it, but not entirely convinced I shouldn't just wait until it either goes free to play, or pay once to play. (if it ever does, that is.)
