A few days or a week later, I noticed that I had gotten double up on the crowns! So I contacted support again and informed them about the doubling up, and they replied with this "Greetings! Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online Team. Please keep these Crowns as our free gift to you. As a pet collector I know how important it is to have Crowns quickly after a purchase, so I appreciate your patience, honesty and for your cooperation while we looked into this.

Don't forget that the blackwood update brought in the "Companions" which u can easily achieve by doing a 5 to 10 minutes quest. Having these companions play with you can be a big game changer as they are quite useful for starting players or even players who just wanna do content by themselves or even people who doesn't have anyone to play with, the companions can become your personal tank, dps or even healer, letting you play the role that you want with ease. the crafting bag is like a drug that once u start with is very hard to let go, but what most players don't know are the "Storage coffers" these are chests which u can put inside your house where you can store your items. there are 8 storage chests, 4 with 30 item capacity and another 4 with 60 capacity. the bank itself can be filled with crafting materials 240 item capacity, combine that with your own character inventory space that can at most hold 200 items 210 if you buy the inventory pets and the crafting bag shouldn't be really needed. there are addon's that you can actually download if played on pc that will help with the inventory management.

Solid MMO. Excellent graphics and fully voice acted.. no subscription needed ?! Yes.

I never liked ESO combat but started playing more this april and I have to say once you ''understand'' how you supposed to play you will love it. I like that everything IS for every player in ESO, I feel like a lot of MMOs just create content for certain kind of player meanwhile in ESO everything is for eveyone and I love that the game is build up, expanded with every chapter instead making older stuff not matter - everything in ESO matters. I mean, it's kinda crazy that most MMOs that sell you ''expansions'' that don't expand your game they just replace it. Visually it holds better than any MMO that came out around it's time and I love how it has this ''raw'' feel, and I do actually love gear desing as it's really simplistic and real feeling. I would say ESO is a game for people that want to play... a whole game not just small part of it. If you are raider or some who only does group content ESO is simply not for you. If you are someone who like to do everything that game has to offer (and it is worth it in ESO) ESO is for you.

A friend of mine in Thailand plays ESO on EU servers. I joined her in there. Love the game, but I can never truly have a main. I keep making new characters and trying out builds. Currently doing a StamNecro, my own build.

Hey Peon, i do a lot of pvp/pvp content and pve, its pretty fun. Europe times probably impacted your amount of people shown, but the NA server is ALWAYS packed, also the game does have instancing, which may effect how many people are displayed on your screen at once in *some* zones. I know you mentioned you wouldn't do transmog in ESO, but you should REALLY go to a costume station in a town and check out all the styles and outfits, along with the polymorphs in your collections (collectibles keybind) and other transformations or character model edits, i think youd really enjoy customizing your character once you realize the vast options, actually, its much more detailed than just simple transmog. If you ever look up some pvp videos, or PVE parse videos you can really see how people keep high damage rotations up or customize their builds. You can also achievement hunt in ESO for lots of custom unlocks and rewards / titles / outfits / etc, this is shown in the section of your quest journal key. Goodluck!!

Actually the transmit system had a big overhaul and they added a lot of unlockable motifs with high fantasy looking items!

You mentioned that Blackwood felt empty of players despite being a new zone. I think a lot of people have said the same thing. It's so weird because non of the other expansions felt that way. Something must be up with how it manages concurrent players in an area.

@OhSo_Bear

2 жыл бұрын

Late comment, but also it's important to note 2 important elements: Not everyone purchases the latest expansions as soon as they're out, usually people wait for the classic year-end discounts to get it, it's really full of people nowadays. And 2) ESO manages an "instance" system inside the megaserver. If you haven't completed any story quests, you're placed in one instance, if another player has already done quests and stuff, is placed in another instance. In consequence, you won't be able to see that player, even if you're in the same zone. This makes it virtually impossible to see "all" of the players simultaneously, hence why you don't see a massive amount of people around.

Hey Craig, long time viewer I'm really vibing going through all the old vids whilst i try to figure out what MMO to main, I'm currently looking to go abroad for volunteer work/potentially relocate, wanted to ask how easy/hard it was to get setup in Thailand and Obviously I don't want to ask about the financial side of things but could you perhaps give some insight as to a basic amount that'd be required to move to such a place? Thanks for many years of content and here's to many more.

I've been away from the channel for a while, looks like you are have been kicking ass on your resolution to get in shape. The move and now this, living your best life is inspiring! You probably have an EX or two going WTF where was this man X years ago ;)

Imo the biggest downside to this game really is the eso+ crafting bag. Playing without it feels like I'm working instead of playing a game. The combat can be fun in areas where you actually have to pay attention to what you're doing like in the veteran solo arenas or when soloing dungeons. Had a lot of fun that way.

Worth noting that this expansion adds companions, if you're looking for that kind of thing

Another huge con (for me at least) is how 95% of all mounts (probably 99% of the cool ones) are from loot crates. As someone who loves collecting mounts, it’s very off-putting they’re so heavy on the cash shop. It wouldn’t be so bad if there was a decent amount of stuff you could earn in game

I've just discovered this game, it looka really fun but do you need the membership? What do you actually get for it? Do you have to pay extra to get the pet dog and the wolf you can ride? I'm hoping its part of the pure game, including expansion pack is doesn't require membership. I really don't want to spend $15 AUD p/month on top of the original purchase price. I hate subscriptions, I'm sure they must lose a lot of potential players.

Awesome video as always dude! I can't find any videos on FF14 do you plan on doing any videos for it? Maybe a journey to lvl 80? It's hugely popular at the moment @TheLazyPeon

That server disconnect issue is a common bug from what I've experienced. It's on the console versions as well and I've "hit the message rate limit" at least 5 times throughout my ESO life when I clearly never did.

I’ve played this game on and off since launch. The game keeps getting better. Aside from the lag 🤷‍♂️

To people that are worried about the combat, I find it’s the best part about ESO. Very fast paced, exciting, with a high skill cap to the base mechanics. I have over 5k hours in game and can still get lost playing for hours every day. Great game with something for everyone!

Have to say, good as always! You really should look up how the armour and costumes works in this game. Not sure how much you’ve looked inn too it before so I’m gonna leave it at that. I genuinely believe once you crack that code, you’ll be surprised! I also agree it belongs under CONS since it’s not easy too figure out for “new” players… but turns to one of the PROS and one of the best aspect (if not the best) of the game as soon as you figure it out. Give it a go when you got nothing else going, it’s a rewarding endeavour. Anyway I’ll eagerly await your next adventure, whatever it may be! Keep up the good work, cause I for one can’t get enough!

I only got the companion and haven’t even started Blackwood. I need to set aside a good handful of hours to get back into this.

I've completed about 80% of the map in 400 hours on one of my characters.

I wish new players would realize a few things before they get too invested. The company ZOS doesnt care about anyone who isnt a complete casual. Raids are always released broken and stay that way for months. You only get 1 raid a year and must pay 40$ for it. PVP is always broken and the pvp population is less than 1000. The performance in pvp is actually unplayable with 2-3 second skill delay. Thats been going on for years. There is no obtainable mounts in game, and for pretty much everything nice looking you must pay money for in the crown shop.

No clue what XIV is like but I doubt it's more challenging than ESO. I mean - MMOs generally have a very low bar in terms of mechanics - you can literally skill click and still be good in some of them - but ESO is actually quite engaging in that sense.

/////The thing that annoys me about this game is that with every new adding, the starting experience changes. Instead of starting with the original Main quest you are always thrown into the current AddOns main quest. And if you want to actually start with the original main quest you have to look online how and where. This always puts me off every time I try the game. I wish they would give me the option at the beginning of the game to decide myself where to start. --->EDIT/Update: I jumped back in and they seem to have updated this problem! At least when I created a character and finished the Belfier tutorial I ended up in a room that brought me to any of the by me owned starting areas through gates. So I could actually choose where to go, and the tutorial lady even explains to me what is going on in each region. And if I skip the tutorial, it brought me to the original main quest start with a little intro movie summarizing the original tutorial area. So, I am really happy to see that!

@@francoisturgeon1176 I played all three games for many years and they all have their merits. None of them are better than the other, they all have strengths and weaknesses. Since you're sipping the FFXIV fan juice I will highlight the biggest problems have that ESO and WoW does better: Lack of PvP, unresponsive combat and poorly timed telegraphs for enemy AoE that does not fit animations, server latency that often sits at 500+ (but isn't that hard felt due to combat already being unresponsive), a lack of playstyle customization in your respective job (ESO has almost total freedom and WoW has talent trees), world building (WoW is truely open world, ESO less so, and FFXIV zones are on rails akin to single player FF games) and then ofcourse the JRPG aesthetics throw a lot of people off including myself (child races and catgirls in bikinis make up like 30-40% of the player base). FFXIV does a ton of stuff better than the other two but it is in no way superior. Stop pushing your preferences onto other people, there's enough people in the FFXIV community crusading nowadays as it is.

ESO is one of the games i actually went for my factions loremaster achievement, never did finish it but i love how questing stays relevant even if you reach max level.

MY PRECIOUS!!! -every thief and hoarder ever in this game.

Elder Scrolls actually has a lot of fun to offer. The downsides are that they really try to capitalize on that "fomo" element like what exists in mobile games. Rewards for logging in daily, various things taking extremely long times to research, etc. I tend to dislike this model. Also hurting it is that their server infrastructure has really lagged behind and because of that they had to completely revamp the progression tree and the super fun PVP area Cyrodil has all armor set bonuses 4set ability disabled because they contribute so much to the lag there. The combat is also def not for everyone, but PVE and PVP are completely different experiences. I hate PVP in most MMOs I have played, but I really enjoyed it in ESO because of all the build/armor set combos make people/fights unique. Many will find the type of combat really boring though. Last, the game is really meta heavy. Builds and armor sets shift every patch and you really need to be tuned into that to be any good. They need to stop pumping out expansions and fix some of the more basic issues with the game. Having a massive awesome PVP zone where your best armor set bonuses are disabled is stupid and broken.

Totally agree with the fomo stuff. Every time i quitted eso is the past was because I burned out but felt like i need to log in instead of just not playing it for a week resulting in me doing that, starting to hate it and not playing for 8 month. Also there are many people here who say that they dislike the combat system. Since you actually played the game and seem to understand why they dislike it, could you explain it? To me it feels like skill is by far the most important thing in ESOs combat system (atleast up to the point they changed CP). Once you get a decent build, skill is all that matters. You can 1vX, you can beat higher CP players so why is it disliked this much? Note that i stopped playing when they increase cap to 3600 don't know how important CP is by now^^

@deaththeclover

@@boerny6757 I completely agree with the original commenter but I can explain a little bit more about the combat. I came into ESO a few months ago and got to about CP 700. In all that time leveling, I’ve come to the conclusion that a big reason people dislike the combat has to do with the massive skill gap with DPS. Questing in ESO can be fun for awhile but it gets boring after some time, so most players find more enjoyment in doing group activities such as dungeons/trials/group dungeons/or arenas. If you aren’t able to hit good enough numbers with DPS you get kicked and replaced by someone else. This makes it so that players feel pressured to obtain meta gear and/or work on their skill bars and rotations to reach maximum DPS. Players also feel forced to master light-attack-weaving and animation-cancelling allowing for more hits done per second while also weaving together skills. Pro players who’ve been practicing on their skills and learning their rotations for years got everything down to muscle memory. Meanwhile, most newer players struggle to reach high damage parses. Speaking from experience playing on mouse & keyboard, the amount of hours I spent building skills and practicing them over extended periods of time have put my fingers through so much strain. All for the sake of trying to improve DPS and to feel a sense of progression in my characters’ strength. It ultimately led to being burnt out from the game and feeling discouraged seeing as I’m stuck with a 15-30k DPS parse while other players are reaching 80-110k DPS parses almost naturally. This reason alone is why combat is so disliked in ESO. It gets boring and repetitive to mimic a certain rotation everytime just for the sake of maintaining high DPS and having to work so hard on your DPS just to be considered a decent player.

They have no intentions of actually filling the massive cyrodil area and making it interesting for example ...

@Ira Fomo totally exists, just like with a lot of MMOs, but it is turned up in ESO. My trade guilds would kick me for being inactive, I'd miss out on tons of massive XP and free gold from dailies and writs, if my research finishes I am not there to start the next one I am adding tons of time to become a master crafter, and not entering in PVP daily will diminish my rank. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying this is a make or break aspect of the game but it is def a con for me. There are tons of times where I didn't want to log in but felt the pressure of how much I'd set myself back in XP, gold, or rank. I def enjoy that the time I do spend in ESO on one character feels like it matters and is an investment I can feel...but at the same time where is the payoff? Even when you master a solo build you get bored after a while and wonder why you're grinding in the first place because loot is so RNG intensive. Trials are the same way. So the only payoff comes in PVP, however Cyrodil is broken due to the lag and you spend all that time getting these hard to RNG sets but they turn the set bonuses off. It also doesn't help that people find ways to exploit that lag, like ball groups in Cyr, that go against the spirit of the game by exploiting old hardware, but also contribute to making the game more unplayable for other people. It's frustrating. As far as the combat is concerned, many feel like ESO combat doesn't feel impactful. I don't really care about the animation canceling so much as the aesthetic of combat overall due to the lack of feedback when you swing at mobs. Like I said, the impactful nature of the combat feels different in PVP than PVE for me. It's a lot more exciting. I wont go into the rest @DeathTheClover came close enough on trying to fill the skill gaps. At the end of the day, to each their own. Maybe I am too sensitive, but I find other things to invest my time and money into.
