lIIlCompleXlIIl 563 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Hey everyone! Today I'm going to talk a little bit about Elder Scrolls Online, or ESO. ESO is a fantasy mmorpg. Anyone who has played the previous titles (Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire and Redguard, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) will find something to like in this title. It can be played as either PvE, or PvP based. (Though it is not very fast to level up strictly through PvP) The guild system in this game is pretty unique, especially when matched up with the Auction House/Trade Network system. A guild can hold 500 members, and as long as there's more then 10 members, you get a guild storage, and a guild store. You can sell items within your guild directly from the storage. Now, I'm not sure how frequent the "auction" of guild traders is, but I believe its every 2 tuesdays, a guild leader can take gold that has been donated to the guild, and try to "Rent" a guild trader. These act as the Auction Houses. There are many traders around most of the big cities, so picking a location is key to have non guild members seeing what is for sale. Anyway, I have been playing this game since before release, when Zenimax offered me a permanent Beta Key for testing. You can be a tank, dps, or healer. BUt, it isn't that straight forward. You can be a mage tank, or a sword and shield dps, etc etc. Basically, you can do whatever you like, as long as you have fun doing it. Is it the "best" way to make that build of a character? Probably not. Will you still be successful in PvP and PvE? Absolutely. The crafting system is pretty cool, and the achievements/trophies are fun to harvest. (Im a retired Trophy Whore for PSN) So here's the question, how many of you, already own ESO, or have thought about getting it? And how many of you would be interested in joining an XDBX based guild?

Sinister 2,578 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Not really my cup of tea. I tried to get into Skyrim years ago but just couldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteford99 146 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I own it, but haven't loaded it yet. Any game is better with friends, so when I get around to loading it I will look you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaD_GooN 1,312 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 It's on sale in the Playstation store. Just bought it. Will check it out next week when it finishes downloading. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lIIlCompleXlIIl 563 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Didn't realize it popped on sale! Nice. I haven't been on much lately, I don't have anyone to play with anymore. The main people/Guild I played with were all originally from Destiny, and as most you know, Destiny is addicting, and eventually they all went back to that. My ESO + membership I think expired in July also. I would be more then willing to pick this up, especially for PvP purposes. In PvP, its open world! Thats right, with a max of 22 players in a party. So we could all get together, go take over a castle, or meet up at the keep and jump some enemy! Anyway, still now and always interested in this game, let me know if anyone of you are jumping on!

DeaD_GooN 1,312 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 @lIIlCompleXlIIl To my understanding it's not pay to play anymore. At least I hope that's the case. That's one of the reasons I decided to get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lIIlCompleXlIIl 563 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) It's not pay to play, but better with eso +. So, what do you get as an ESO Plus member? Let’s go over the benefits: An allotment of crowns to spend in the new in-game Crown Store based on your membership period (more below) Access to all of ESO’s downloadable content (or DLC) game packs for the duration of your membership A 10% bonus to XP and gold gain, crafting research, and inspiration They also now get a "crafters bag" that was added in last patch. This is the main reason I play with a sub now. It is additional storage, accessed by ALL your characters, that can hold an infinite amount of crafting materials.

Whiteford99 146 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Been playing this pretty hard the last week or so. Absolutely addicted. Played for 20 hours straight yesterday. I am in the Daggerfall clan, look me up if you are in Tamriel. Level nothing, to 17 in less than a week. I built an Orc tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pull up guides, can actually go from level 1 to veteran ranks in a day but thats not doing quests, thats just a grind all. My first character I did quests, it is quite fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteford99 146 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Almost forgot how to play GTA! Really getting into ESO. Easily my favorite game now. Need to get a list of XDBX members who also play ESO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Pepper - Champion rank 104, Ebonheart Pact, Dark Elf Templar who specializes in attack magika. Was going to respec this character to healer though. Basically, this character has now become my crafter, and I play on another toon mostly. PSN is different account. (Vampire - Bite Available.) Dreams of Action - Level 31, Aldmeri Dominion, Khajiit Nightblade who specializes in dual wield and bows. This was my very first character on ESO after getting out of Beta. This character was/is going to be based around PVP. PSN is different account. (Werewolf - Bite Available.) To play with crew/guild members, I would be interested in making a character on the account you all have grown to know and love. @nicolabellamy77 and @Whiteford99, do you play EU or NA servers, and which Alliance are you in?

Whiteford99 146 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Are there any XDBX GTA players who would like to try ESO? I'd be happy to help any new players give it a try, just send me a message via PSN. We even have a XDBX guild you can join. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I loved Skyrim, think it's a fantastic game but just don't have the time to commit to something like ESO. Single player casual stuff I can forget about for months at a time but anything needed a regular online presence will struggle to get my time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
