[Fefner]

DO you have another source for that Fefner? I was unaware this was the case, and stacking away from magicka is a tempting idea, just want to be sure i'm not gonna screw myself over


See you in the DC!

sure this guys explains about it here:

The 2nd part of it is here: He adds all points into magika so you can see what the difference is.

I'm sure for anyone who wants a stamina build it will also be the same, just add +sta to each armour piece.
As for seeing how well level 50 pvp/pve is for mana issues, check out that guys others videos, it shows him doing great damage without any real power issues, he does go low power sometimes but thats after he has spammed a lot more spells than what we can do at level 10-15.

 

[Fefner]

Just want to add:

Some ppl have said its worth putting points into magika while leveling but other have said go health all the way so really the choice is yours while you level but once 50 go full health.

 

[Tilda]

Trying to work out what to preorder.
I have exams so couldn't play much, but I wanna get a few names. Do i get imperial so i can definitely have a good chance of getting the names, or do I just get normal and hope for the best?
Its essentially, imperial edition to get a name and a horse?!

 

[Soazak]

If you're going for names, go Imperial edition, if they're that important to you of course. With a mega server its probably going to be a bit of a mess.

 

[LordjOX]

Yes, get the imperial edition if names you want to use are important for you.

Regarding stealth, yeah it's an odd mechanic but as people pointed out, there are actives, passive and potions that mitigate this

re: russians. The zone instances you join should be chosen based on your guild affiliations and friends (5 guilds per account). If you set a home campaign with many non-english speakers, one can simply change

 

[eksdee]

Why would the pre-order version matter for names? Both standard and IE get 5 days early access if you order from Zenimax. It's only less (3 days) if you order from a third party vendor.

 

[Soazak]

Based on what was said above I assumed imperial had 5 days and standar had 3 days. Never looked into it tbh as I already had imperial pre ordered

 

[Poag]

It depends where you got it from and when...

For example, GMG Imperials are 5 day EAs, while the Normal versions are not, unless you bought it before the end of Feb.

Ah yes, true.

 

[eksdee]

I only point it out because this discussion made me panic! Went to check on the official website as I am already being ripped by my guildmates for being 'hobo no horse edition', let alone being 2 days behind them.

 

[Mabs]

im a bit sad as my sister is getting married so im going away from 5th-15th ish, i mean ffs, stupid woman could of chosen a different month

 

[Turamber]

I wasn't impressed by my early access, thought the game looked very shallow indeed. But I've watched some of the PVP streams and they looked pretty good. Also this review indicates that the game opens up after level 8, and even more after level 15: http://tamrielfoundry.com/2014/02/eso-isariis-comprehensive-review/
Still in two minds about the game though...

 

[- English -]

best place to preorder?

 

[Moriath]

I went to gmg and got twenty percent off the imp ed. Donno if they still have that offer

 

[Tilda]

GMG 20% off imperial code: PLOCVS-G2T5YX-DATY6M
Takes it to about £56 quid

Game fixed.

aannnnd game broken again: http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscroll...19_api_changes_that_basically_gut_any_addons/

API can no longer post events to chat box (meaning no kill spam) or display a lot of information that wasn't available in the default UI so can't see your own stats any more that weren't on the character sheet, like elemental resists, spell penetration or buff/debuff timers :/

I can understand removing the ability to see enemy stats and spells, but basic information about your own character should be available

 

[eksdee]

Christ. That is so fucking bad.

 

[Ctuchik]

/

but basic information about your own character should be available

Wouldn't surprise me if they added that to the default UI. Maybe the API just couldn't show one without the other.

 

[Soazak]

I hope that's the case, I definitely agree with some of the changes, I think enemy cast bars and knowing exactly how much mana/stamina your target has is a little cheap. But not being able to tell when your own buffs are running out is odd for an MMO, if all spells had an animation like DKs spiked armor it wouldn't be much of an issue.

It's probably going to be one of the biggest questions in today's AMA anyway, so I'm sure they will address it

 

[eksdee]

Yeah, exactly. I couldn't care less about seeing my enemy's cast bar etc, but I want to see what spell hit me after the fact so I can piece together how not to die to it next time. Broadly speaking I just the deliberate obfuscation of the game's mechanics is really cheap and ass-backward, especially given there will be a raft of CBT players who had months WITH addons to learn all that stuff and thereby will have a massive advantage over everyone else.

 

[Tilda]

tbh I dont mind about it. I guess its a kinda of emersion thing. Although I'm used to seeing what hit for what in mmos, I dont think its the worst thing in the world to not be able to see what happened.

Will check back in 6 months, maybe. Have fun at launch those that are going for it

[Tilda]

[Afran]

Let me know if it's worth playing Miri once you've been rvr'ing for a few weeks

 

[Poag]

So release is tomorrow...

Those playing EU what campaign are you intending to be in if known?

http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/news/post/2014/03/27/cyrodiil-campaign-names


Just so we can run into some not-so-friendly faces


I'll probably go Auriel's Bow for the first campaign post release then move to quieter ones in the future.

 

[Mabs]
