Optional, with largest benefits being access to all DLC (but NOT Gold Road), cash shop currency on sub start/renewal, and the Craft Bag (can save your characters a ton of space).

>Which faction should I choose?
Want to PVP in Cyrodiil with friends? Make sure you're in the same faction. Otherwise, doesn't matter.

>I started with a Chapter. How do I access the OG main quest?
Open your map (or visit a Wayshrine for free TPs) and go to either Daggerfall, Vulkhel Guard, or Davon's Watch. Walk around. "Soul Shriven in Coldharbour" should start soon.

>Where should I begin normal questing?
Check out the OG beginner stuff, first: go to Port Hunding, Khenarthi's Roost, or Bleakrock.

why must the night be so blue
>>
>>501925902
by default, magicka is blue, which is why the stars are blue, which is why the night is blue.
it's possible that the stars are pale in the later-set games because the magicka downpour isn't as strong. it's also possible that that's part of why magic is absolutely everywhere, in the second era, by comparison.
except the sun should be blue, too

You're unironically better off asking about anything build-related on Reddit if you want an actual response.

>>502101736
To start with, Julianos. MagNB has a pretty easy time standing still, so Siroria is good. For your 2 piece, Maw of the Infernal to start with, or the Master's bow + Blackrose Inferno Staff.

With NB it seems like your options are stay 32 meters away and maybe do shit damage but also never die, or die constantly while hugging the boss.
>>
So every BG is a snowball now
>>
>>502101736
given the fact that NBs would now most likely be adding the new version of the invisibility skill into their rotation due to the 10% damage to monsters buff, might want to look into Stygian. 2 damage bonuses, offensive penetration bonus, and the 5 piece bonus gives 369 spell & weapon damage when you leave stealth. pair that with the vamp stage 2 passive that boosts damage when leaving stealth, sneak or Mist Form and that's a fat 700 just for using 1 skill

The game is dying. Gold road did not do well. Steam isn't the full population, but is a good canary for how the overall population is trending. They saw a 4% increase in average population, 20% increase to peak population vs previous month. And they loss it all within 30 days. July's population metrics did so poorly it reached levels not seen since late 2023. And since then, we've had 5 months of consecutive declines. Which hasn't happened since 2019.

Fact of the matter is that ESO's formula isn't working anymore. Instanced PvE isn't bringing in players. PvP isn't bringing in players. The same old open world content with a new skin isn't bringing in new players. Spell crafting was so underwhelming nobody really cared about it. The new companions didn't land.

Shits about to get real for ESO within the next 2 years unless they do something truly new. The things I think they should do are new skill lines for traditional TES skills. Perhaps a new skill design where it is charged up just like in the singleplayer games and the designs WoW has been experimenting with (Gw2 has had these for awhile). One handed weapon tree. Difficulty tiers for overland with compensating rewards. More interesting mechanics around blocking to make tanking more interesting. Expansion of HA builds into other weapon types instead of just lightning. More interesting world skill lines like crime/DB/lycan/vamp, companion romance, and sailing (probably the hardest to do with this shit engine).
>>
>>502118046
who cares
pvp is for faggots

TES VI being dogshit will save ESO

>>502126172
I think they're basically trapped between the old engine and old consoles. They probably could squeeze more out of the engine, but not without abandoning old consoles like Destiny did, but they're still giving enough money that they can't justify the risk of hoping new people come to replace them in a 10+ year old game.

So instead of trying to roll a ball up an increasingly sloped hill, they're just letting it gradually decline while they prep its replacement. Best case, the new IP stuff was a lie to preserve crown sales and we get ESO 2 with cool shit like boats and cape physics. Worst case they're stupid enough to think the brand wasn't carrying them, and they're left wondering why everyone isn't jumping over to some atrocity of a setting riddled with current year bullshit.
>>
>>502134006
I don't want to wait until 2030 to see ESO in a better state
>>
>>502135961
Yeah ESO2 will never come sadly. At least not till 2030-2035. They wouldn't release a new ESO game this close to Tes6 release (looks like they're aiming for 2026-2028 timeframe). You're probably right in terms of the engine/consoles are holding them back. Even still, there's a lot more they could be doing. Difficulty tiers are 100% doable and are a simply character based buff/debuff. We already have some things that impact drop rates of things like gathering nodes and furnishing plans in the champion points. Got things that increase exp already in consumables. If they can't figure out how to reuse that code; then the issue isn't in the engine that's for sure. Companion romances seem like they're 100% possible too. That's just focused on dialogue more than anything. In that list I gave, I think the only thing that is really hard/impossible to do would probably be sailing. Though we may be getting some kind of sailing mechanic in Tes6 so I'll be happy with that.
>>
>>502126172
I think part of the problem is that they're too afraid to make any new systems impactful and too retarded to reign things in if if they're too powerful. companions do nothing at all outside of minuscule passive perks, there are maybe 3-4 mythics that do anything of value, spell crafting is fully irrelevant to dps players and there are only a few combinations that work for heal/tank. the meta sets have been cemented for almost half a decade now. more than half the classes have skills bad enough that taking the generic options that every class has access to is the correct choice.
They do need more content, and new skill lines, and new mechanics. but they also need to have even just one guy on staff who plays the fucking game to realise that there is so much that is broken or irrelevant or needs shaking up a bit. because it would kill my soul to have them release another feature that could be cool and have it be total shit to interact with.

>new mechanics

This is the big thing. They don't just need to shake up the meta. They need to introduce things to the game that are actually different. I bet you behind closed doors they were treating skill crafting as this huge thing. Problem is, it barely did anything. Why? Because there's nothing truely new about it. It just introduced some ways for builds that didn't have access to a specific buff/debuff before to have it now. But the abilities and everything feels like things we've already seen in the game. None of them truly feel "new".

That's the important thing in my opinion. I think the whole "abilities that you charge like in the singleplayer games" and more interesting mechanics around blocking are two examples of things that actually "feel" different compared to the rest of the game. And if they were balanced to actually be relevant, they would probably do a considerable amount of lifting to get players back into the game. They can't rely on something like that by itself of course. But its an example of the kind of "new" that people want to see.

been playing the game since 2019, back then PvE and PvP were actually fun, but since Greymoor I gradually detached from that aspect of the game and gravitated towards zone quests.

Do yall think they should just take a step back/stop relying on "traditional" endgame? Such as instanced PvE (Dungeons/Trials) and PvP (even though it hasn't really been touched except this last update)?

Reason I ask is that seems like across the entire mmorpg genre, populations are dropping (those that we can see). And ESO in particular has been trending downward for years. This past patch cycle has no done it good. Content wise, it seems like all the typical stuff is there. They've got dungeon updates, trial updates, etc. Compared to when this game peaked, they're still (quantity wise) release on the same standard. However, it doesn't seem to be pulling in the same populations anymore. Scribing, on paper, is one of the more "drastic" changes they've made to the game in years. However, it really failed to entice players it seems. And based on what I've seen in discussions online, its mainly due to annoying grind for it + the skills themselves are boring.

Should they instead pivot to focusing more on the 'main character' of this game, the world itself? Instanced content for both PvE/PvP are hard to compete in today's mmorpg world. Those things are dominated by other games (like instanced content PvE: WoW/FF14). Making it so the only real reason to come play ESO over those games is either the lore or combat (which we all know combat is a hot topic). Should the developers instead be focusing on open world based content? Things that are actually different and not just content repaints. Taking inspiration from other games with open world content focuses (Like gw2) or from singleplayer games? New abilities that are designed differently to be more like something you see in the singleplayer TES games? Difficulty sliders/changers for the overland?

>>502639893
Copy shit from GW2, it worked for wow (dragon riding and raising the amount of open world content)

There should just be way more reasons to run into players in the wild and engage in content with them. That's what makes MMOs different than other games.

If content at endgame is just queueing up as 5-6 players and running shit over and over and over, why wouldn't the average player just play Fortnite? It's the same shit but you dont have to spend 50-100 hours before the game gets good.

Also PVP in all MMO's is fucking dead. Carebears won.

MMOs are a doomed genre. Half of them have become tranny nightclubs, the other half's population actually cares about gameplay (the ones with the ugliest player models) but their population of turboautists expect everyone else to be playing the game as long as they have so they treat new players like dirt.
It's time to move on to real games.

>>502715541
I feel like there's a few factors to make this determination. The type of game it is, the peak, and the retention. Peaks don't really matter much in live service games, especially mmorpgs. New world is a good example of this. What matters is their retention rate over time. And determining what that rate means changes from genre to genre. Like the retention rate for a singleplayer game can be much lower than a live service game. As live service games rely heavily upon a steady amount of players to operate as intended. Age 100% doesn't matter in any situation I think, Especially since some of the most played games right now, especially on steam, are like 6+ years old (CSGO, PubG, etc)

Since the only metric we have for ESOs health is steam, it does not paint a good picture for this year. Its peaks have been underwhelming and its retention has been horrible. Hasn't been in this state since 2019. And I'm going to go off a limb here and that these golden pursuits are not going to have a big impact either. And the importance of this year can't be understated. It is the anniversary year. So to put it into perspective from a purely population perspective (revenue is the major factor, but we won't have access to that)

1. Dungeon/Trial/Chapter under-performed
2. The anniversary event under-performed
3. Spellcrafting under-performed
4. The new companions under-performed
5. PvP updates under-performed
6. DLC events under-performed
7. and soon, this golden pursuits update will under-perform

Not a great sign for a mmorpg that is in its "biggest year" since launch.

>>502734628
Well how do you get into ESO?
It's so much shit and so much DLC how the fuck do you rationalize any of it as a new player?

PUBG, CSGO, Fortnite etc are all extremely easy barrier of entry. You just download the game and play.

But ESO needs builds, gear to min max, and all this other shit, another issue is questing gatekeeping interacting with other players.

I think MMO's after so many years just keeps veterans because who else wants to waste time trying to penetrate all the systems and currencies. But ESO isn't really renevating anything, just 2 new dungeons and a zone or two a year. Boring.

>It's so much shit and so much DLC how the fuck do you rationalize any of it as a new player?

I had the same issue at first but honestly it's not that complicated once you get the grip by watching some youtube videos on how to do basic shit. I just omit a lot of stuff in this game that doesn't interest me at the moment like scrying or pvp.

As for the content - there's a link to zones/content chronological order in the OP above. Basically you just do the vanilla game zones and work your way through the DLC zones if you want plot consistency.

Best advice is to try out a little of everything and then do the stuff that is fun for you, there's no point in taking this game too seriously like the retards in this general


>But ESO needs builds, gear to min max

99% of the game is piss easy, the only content where you actually need to think through your builds are veteran dungeons and trials

So here's my analysis from an outside perspective on ESO.

Yeah I see your point. But this has always been a crux of the MMORPG genre. Barrier of entry. I mean we're at the state right now in the genre where the barrier of entry can't get any lower. As someone who has been playing MMORPGs for well over 20 years, there's a lot of factors as to why we're in the state that we're currently in. But when it comes to these small to medium sized MMORPGs like Gw2/ESO, the main reason they're all struggling with retention is because..they've become stale. Games like WoW and FF14 dominate the "instanced PvE" player market. What little mmorpg pvpers are left are mainly swapping between WoW, Albion, or some older games like Eve. These medium sized mmorpgs need to figure out what they do well, then they need to capitalize on it and build new upon it. ESO's major "thing" that it did well was RPG aspects. Now it will never beat a singleplayer game. BUT for a mmorpg, it has really good RPG aspects. The way players can interact with the world (like stealing, for example, you hardly ever see that in mmorpgs these days), all the voice acted quests, companions, the quest choices (even though they have no impact really), housing, the hybrid class-less system, the lore/world building, etc. Its combat is liked by some, but its no where in a state of mass appeal. The people who get really into ESO often fall into one of those two camps. Either they really like the RPG aspects or they're one of the few who really like the combat.

The past 4 years now, ZoS has done little to build upon this.

1/2
>>
They saw player growth with a formula and have been doing it ever since. Its been failing for the past 4 years. IA, Scrying, Tales of Tribute. These things are siloed in the sense that if you ignore them, they have little effect on the game. If you wanted to ignore all those things, you could easily do that and not feel hugely punished by it. They're just optional content that introduced either horizontal rewards or rewards that don't have a huge impact (few exceptions based on balance changes). Spellcrafting is another example where it was unecessary grind for abilities that just "felt" like more of the same. Sure it introduced some new ways to gain access to boons for specific builds. But it wasn't anything that felt new. It wasn't a "true" new way to play the game.

They need to focus on new fun things for combat and new fun things for open world

Combat: More interesting/competitive builds around LA and HA for all weapon types (I've got loads of ideas on how to make HA for other weapons work more interesting). More interesting builds that interact with blocking mechanics and bashing mechanics. Spells that work similar to spell casting in skyrim (charge up mechanics) and then creating interactions around that.

Overland: More interesting/creative events. Use games like Gw2 as inspiration. Difficulty tiers for the open world and rewards that compensate for that (true difficulty, not just health sponges everywhere).

The theory is that this game is on life support now. Its the most monetized mmorpg on the market right now. So they're just milking it going steady on while they divert their funds towards other projects. They can probably do the above things, but the money isn't there for them. Costs too much with little return. They'd rather just put it towards a new game. The story of a lot of mmorpgs at the moment (gw2 is going through the same thing).

Yes, and the lesson they are learning is not to pull a Bungie and kill your only source of cash flow because you want to move on to something else thay you have no idea will succeed (it wont). The trend is keeping these games as live as long as they dont go into the negative. Players are sophisicated enough that they feel iffy about games in the state of gw2 or ESO, whether or not they are worth any more effort lest they get burned by an EOS announcement. ZOS is a lot better at alleviating those fears than ArenaNet, though, since ZOS has consitent releases and communication with the community about upcoming releases.

So if I understand correctly, the various beast-folk like khajiit, argonians, fauns, imga, and lilmothiit are the natives of tamriel, while all other races come from other "continents" which may or may not actually be previous world-cycles.

as far as i know, that's just a theory i put forth, given that it's so anniversary-oriented, it's meant for players to showcase things they've collected in all their travels (sure, regular homes are, too, but this is literally a museum), and while it's not the first time they've used the ouroboros in-world, this place has like a million of them. just feels like a "thanks for playing our game" kind of home, but we'll see.

Goddamn I can't stand little fags who feel the need to announce how shitter shattered they are over the conversations in zone chat. Don't read it you little cunt. Only thing worse is the cocksuckers who announce that they reported someone.

>>503258973
was it the zone chat in galen?
>>
>>502908000
because you hit yes when the popup appears faster than anyone else
pretty sure
>>
>>502908000
Isn't it role based? Thought tank was usually the default, then healer
>>
>>503260095
Yes. It's a lot more chatty over there than High Isle, which I guess brings out the cunt in people. Last night some turd was even like "I don't appreciate all the blather." Bitch, look away then. I don't think I've ever seen it this bad in previous events.

>expecting me to go out of my way to make a new chat tab without zone chat in my MMO
what next you're going to expect me to contribute in group content?

yesterday someone in that chat mentioned how bad of a companion tanlorin is, and almost immediately a bunch of troons started screeching
I hate troons so fucking much

the they/them stuff is annoying, but i'm loving Tanlorin. 85-90% (with passives) chance to force locks, PLUS a chance to avoid breaking a pick when forcing, even when it fails. cute voice, too.
i had this all typed out before the previous post, kek

Thanks for giving me an idea of what to do tonight while I run around Galen
>>
>>503278801
Imagine forcing locks like a wasteful subhuman
>>
>>503279417
just saves a lot of time when you're opening hundreds of chests, like with some lead-hunting
>>
>>503226414
In that scenario, you should queue for cyrodiil, and port out. Be sure to check notifications because the queue pop up message doesn't when you're in combat.

>>503279417
please hold up the entire trial for 45 seconds each while we wait for you to remember how lockpicking works. that's much more efficient than wasting 9 gold

i didn't need to know that, anon

I've never ran a trial and my eso+ expired....
