Post your favorite addons pls
We will be raiding in the EU in two weeks as TESOG guild. If you have a character ready, feel free to join and carry us.
>>2888386I don't use addons now but back when I used them I liked the minimap one.>>2888807Are the details finalized? Like which days and times or is it just in 2 weeks we start trials when we get enough people on at a given time? Will discord be used and is it orgarnized though it because I have seen nothing said in game about raiding
steal your mothers credit card and buy crates
>>2888386>Tamriel Trade Centre: Auction house and vendors >Code's combat alerts
Is there an addon to buy crates?
>>2888386Screenshot mode and Auto recharge/repair
>>2888360Jesus Christ OP you really chose the least appealing screenshot possible. I have a CP1800 character and if I didn't and just stumbled on this thread in the catalog I'd think to myself "I'm not fucking playing that gay shit".
>>2891818Alright, let's see the alternatives:https://images.uesp.net/3/3d/ON-render-High_Seas_of_Tamriel_Banner.jpgLower resolution and looks like something you would see in a dungeon packhttps://images.uesp.net/d/d9/ON-render-Haj_Mota_Hunting_Grounds.jpgCave

>>2892286maybe whoever made the promo renders got caught in the layoffs
i don't wanna do daily writsi don't wanna train my horsei don't wanna farm skyshards or lorebooks

Returned to this elder fiesta on a whim. Werewolf is pretty damn fun now, and necromancer is still fun. Any other classes that are as flashy as those two that feel good to play? Was not super impressed with nightblades base kit so far on my wolf but it seems the cooler abilities are all at the very end of the trees for them.
>>2898473DK is OP in PVP and got new animations. Soon to be nerfed I suppose so hurry up.
>>2898467snake is in the forest before king gaylord in coldharbour. you need to do the quests for zone progression.Do not side with the W**d *lfs
bros how do i get signature scripts in scribing?????????????????????????????????????my build kinda needs it.
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/70311This is dumb. Why keep the animals+plants+ice thematic which most players agree is nonsensical?
scribing is awful. who made this ""system""
>>2899344Did you actually read the article, dude?Do you know what refresh means?
>>2899344Problem is any dramatic thematic change risks making people feel like their character got bricked. I already see some complaining about losing the morrowind animals, it'd be way worse if they completely dropped the druid or ice themes. And with no new classes in the foreseeable future to pick up the dropped theme, they wouldn't even have the option to make a replacement character.
>>2901339This is true. I made my whole character ice themed. I'd probably delete the character if they got rid of the ice. I do like how they're going more for seasonal colors for skills. That way everyone can just dial it in the way they want. The class should have launched like that.
>>2899344Always had an issue with 1/3 Warden kit being Morrowind stuff and 1/3 being ice magic and a bear. Glad that this update shits on both my Nord and Dunmer Wardens the way my Argonian poison DK was made obsolete
i rage quit cyrodiil again...
>>2899344The ice theme is nice though, minor brittle is underappreciated.
>>2899344The plant/ice theme are ok, the most retarded looking is the animal theme. The animal skills are only: a delayed bug attack, a Jellyfish that gives away your buffs and was nerfed to oblivion anyway, a bunch of flies that feel like throwing pebbles or sand at your enemy and a fucking bear that all it's good for is moaning and dying.I feel like warden should be renamed to shroomancer, a telvanni-themed build. The mushrooms besides healing should also be used as elemental attacks (add fire besides ice), that way it makes more sense.
Buy crates. Zos needs your money.
Finally hit endgame again on a new character, really do appreciate the horizontal gearing of thisIs the best way to farm up dungeon sets still spam normal for speed clears? The build I wanna mimic needs two full dungeon sets. Or is vet easy enough now adays to spam with PUGs?
can't wait to spam swallow soul in update 51 bros...
>>2908200Depends on the dungeon. You normally need ~50 runs to complete the stickerbook and only 3 runs need to be on vet to drop all parts of the monster set
i love trample
buy crowns and buy crates
What does Ember smell like?
>>2911438Like wet, sweaty pussy and cat paw beans
>>2911438she smells like she is made for werewolf domination.

I just found confirmation that vault keys are indeed real and you can find them inside thieves troves

Lizard girls.

I really want to tongue a cloaca
we should move this general to /vg/
>>2922427We're too slow for /vg/ and the game is in one of its most unpopular periods, pretty much everyone who cares about this game knows we're here already. Gacha games have pushed most games off /vg/ by now.
Updates -need -to release faster.It is so fucking annoying knowing there's content just Sitting there, waiting to be deployed, but it's kept from us because they have to strategically ration out what Little content they actually make per year.jesus christ actually infuriating, give me a 2 week notice or FUCK OFF
>>2923481U51 is right around the corner (end of this month)
>>2923486yeah sure but it's already been a month since the pts was out dude
EU needs 6 more people to do the trial. Sign up on discord.
new content > qol improvementsplayers don't bother logging in if there's nothing to do in the game
>barely any new content>game went skeleton crew mode with half the team fired>1 year of class rework, only DK and... werewolf (who tf asked for it and considered it a class?) done>shittomancer is last in linesee you guys in 5 years, I may reinstall for the necro rework
why is it so hard to find raiding guild in this game?
>>2927134because most hardcore pve players have already left the game by now and leading raids is very time consuming which the current economy affords less and less
Ball groups ruined PVP
>>2926669The fucked up thing is that the layoffs probably barely made a difference. Content had already slowed to a crawl and warden was still months behind schedule with the full team, these people are just really bad at their jobs. Its not even a skeleton crew, they've still got like 200 people.
>>2926669>in 5 yearsthis game won't make it to 2030 my nigga
>>2928118TES6 releasing next year will renew interest in ESOtrust the plan
>>2928355le liminal
TES6 will kill the franchise for good and it's true it will renew interest in ESO but not because ESO is good but because TES6 will be utter crap.
If TES6 doesn't have Lifts-her-tail fan service, it'll be over for TES
>>2928975TES 6 will save the RPG genre
>>2929172Lifts-her-tail is a fictional character from a book in the setting. She does not exist.But I can see some NPC roleplaying her sorta like the sole survivor roleplays the silver shroud in fallout 4
>>2929649>Someone roleplaying as herWould be very fun to see that happen in game, even if she isn't even Argonian, that kind of content is the shit that stays in fans minds for decades. Alternative you could find a librarian or some nerd obsessed with her that has unique dialogue if the player is an Argonian and even more unique if the player is an Argonian female.
It's overESO is now on its content drought phase
I'm in a vampire mood and ESO had a bit of that, so I'm thinking about coming back to it.Give it to me straight, frens. Is this game dying? No doomposting, no copium, an objective analysis of the situation.
Alcast runs this general. You are all his bitches.
>>2933702literally who?
>>2933473Vamp is in a shitty state right now and its not likely to get reworked anytime soon.And no one actually knows. Its in one hell of a slump and could very well die because of it, but we can only speculate. It might have enough housing whales to sputter on for another 10 years, or it might dip below some critical profit threshold this quarter and have MS suddenly shut the whole thing down.
>>2934214Sounds a bit grim. Appreciate it anon, maybe I'll look for something else.
we will NEVER EVER raid
Need craftable set recommendations for magblade

Is this game still borderline unplayable without the crafting bag? I haven't played since High Isle.
>>2944252I don’t think it did
>>2944421It is anon, otherwise this already dull and dying game feels more like a chore that a distraction or hobby.
>hiding your clothes to appear semi-nude is now part of game>The Elder Argonian/suspire light chest styles plus *hide pants* make players look like they are wearing slutty dresses or miniskirts >But an actual good looking revealing costume of lifts-her-tail french maid is off limits Bruh
>>2944421You don't know how to manage your inventory
>>2944252only 6 people signed up>>2945342teach me senpai
>>2945046Shame, I won't be reinstalling then, thanks.>>2945342There's only so much you can do with limited slots. Throwing away 99% of potentially useful materials isn't some secret knowledge gained from years of experience, that's just biting the bullet and accepting that you don't get to keep the shit you found because the game is intentionally set up to jew you as hard as possible by creating problems and selling you a solution.
>>2945889Your wallet was promised to Zenimax 3000 years ago
Which way, Dres mer?
i am playing necrom for the first time and main story is meh.
>>2946461If I had to guess, there's a mystery and an NPC needs you to investigate 3 places to find out what's going on, followed by a revelation that leads to a new location entirely.
>>2946362one will keep you warm at night, the other one will steal your body heat
Well, at least they aren't selling $30 reskinned elves. Yet.
We can all agree there are too many crafting materials in the game right now, and even with that in mind they're still going to add 4 more alchemical ingredients next update.
>>2946577no box price and optional elves
>>2922427It used to be on /vg/ but now both the game and the general is deader than dead. I think of all the hours spent on ESO and my head start to spin, even after checking out 6 years ago. All that hours wasted and none of it matters. Achievements invalidated, titles inflated in weight, gold inflated, sets and classes bricked. I can't even name 1 thing that holds value in this game. When Summerset, Elsweyr and the likes came out we always had complaints, if only we knew how worse it could get.. I sat down many times and can't finish High Isle main story it sucks so bad, the presentation is ass, feels like it's targeted at literal braindead boxing glove autist downies - which is lets be honest, seeing reddit and forums, the main audience is exactly that.This game has been HARD carried by "The Elder Scrolls" title for a decade.
>>2948784as long as you had fun the time wasn't wasted, all games are "wastes of time" but so are a lot of things in life that bring us joy.
>no cute femboy breton boyfriend to travel withBros I'm so lonely also when does the sea pirate content drop?
>>2948905Sounds like you're ready to drop plenty of seaman.
Last time I checked the PTSD server the maritime combat looked like ass. If we can't board the enemy ships the event will be just a glorified digital version of a carnival shooting game.
update 51 when?????
>>2950319end of the month
ive heard daedra worship is becoming increasingly prevalent in the summerset isle
money has no value in this game ;_;
>>2953409what
>>2951919Never liked Bethesda pushing this idea that daedra worshipers exist (much) among Altmer. They should be all about the ancestor worship.
Wish i could relive Elsweyr story again
>>2954260I wish they added a new zone or questline there.
you now miss morrowind
>>2961951I miss having things to do in this game.
They sent me a warning for saying something edgy but lore accurate in zone chat But they are not banning the sodomites roleplaying as twinks and anime girls for other sodomites near the Rimmen wayshrine.
>>2966532You'd think with the game in crisis mode they'd tell the moderation team to chill out.
>>2966663getting a warning is mild compared to a 3-day vacation
>>2966532they ban these too it's why barely anyone roleplays these days
>>2967888>Using the in-game chat is a bannable offenseno wonder the game is dying
>>2967103Do they gradually increase the penalties?, or do they jump from warning to straight game ban? (Skipping the chat ban)
The real ESO just released.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4eEnHgRLEE
>>2973303>Those graphics Nah unc, pass. I am not installing your spyware just to play Niggerfall
>>2973303>game from 40 years ago but onlinewhat is the appeal? anyone that wanted to play daggerfall already did it
>>2974379maybe because it's an actual elder scrolls game but online and not some dogshit wow clone wearing a tes skin?
>>2974680ESO was made with online gameplay in mind. Daggerfall wasn't, which makes it a worse experience than playing it offlineThe whole thing seems pointless...
>>2974992Its just a novelty if it stays exactly as-is, sure, but with mod support its entirely possible for people to start hammering it into a better MMO.
>>2975920anything's possible with ai slop
Allegedly the CS department was hit in the latest round of layoffs.
>>2976412you dont need a cs department when you got openai
>>2976706famous last words, and I say this as someone who actually uses AI
>>2976412Did they layoff the CS team at Indonesia? They were the only CS team by 2023 and were basically paid with just bread and water.
>>2979278The guy making the claim said there's "almost nobody left", so not quite the entire team.
new expansion when
>>2980029I'm guessing Whiterun in 2028 as a desperate last move.
eso? moar liek eos amirite
>>2980029solstice is possibly the last expansion to the gamezenimax doesn't have neither the team or the technical expertise to put out expansion like they did prior to 2025
>>2980293I’m just happy that I haven’t poured real money in this game
bringing ithelia back would heal eso
>>2980293>lead combat dev demonstrates on stream that he doesn't know basic combat mechanics>keeps the job and survives multiple layoffsWheeler is solid proof that zos operates on cronyism and its effectively crippled the studio despite still having around 250 people. Layoffs alone don't explain all their bullshit. Xbox's best move at this point is either handing the game off to another studio, or (probably the better option given its age) starting development on a successor as soon as possible.
You're pretty retarded if you think the maintenance mode game will have new expansions with TESVI finally being worked on and the MMORPG genre dying.
>>2981176>starting development on a successorlol, not like they were doing that less than a year ago
is happening? do i log in
I put this game down 10+ years ago when, in addition to the horrible floaty combat, the main story's romance plot involved a red guard male and a nord female. Now I hear half the staff have been laid off and the game's probably getting shuttered soon. Thank God.
>>2981232TES6 is not coming out until 2030 the leastThey need something ES related until then to keep engagement up
>>2982235makes you think
>>2981298If they thought Blackbird was going to absorb ESO's audience they were even more delusional than Bungie was with Marathon.
>>2982263Starfield took that long because they were constantly reworking things in a failed attempt to make a clusterfuck of bad ideas fun, in the middle of the pandemic. 6 is likely closer to their usual 5ish year development cycles, which would put it somewhere around 2028.
game still nets about $20 million per month, and it should stay alive for at least another 10 years.
>>298437015 million *revenue*, and that's generously assuming the 2b figure was evenly spread across the months and continues past 2024. Factor in operating costs and noticeable population drop from the ongoing fuckups and their profits may not look so hot these days.

game is kinda dead
yeah I finally uninstalled and that's generally a sign of a dead game
whats the best way to farm IA sets??
>>2995690completing 2 arcs every single dayyou drop armor on odd numbered arcs and weapons+jewelry on even numbered arcs
>>2995701do i have to play my warden to get warden set? my nb farms there faster.
>>2995727yes, you only drop sets for the class you're playing as.the exception is when you already have everything for that class, then the game gives you random sets
>>2986725They've been saying this for years, even in 2018.Most people who make "Dead Game" threads on the forums are underage kids ragebaited by a DK nerf. Like those kids back then on CSGO Steam Discussions saying that the game is dead just because they've got VAC'd.
>>2995810it's over, lowest numbers ever and the game is a mess. they absolutely ruined the game with hybridization, cross classing and weave removal. then for good measure after ruining pve and pvp they decide to curb stomp pvp with the dk and werewolfwhen you stopped having to farm vma for your dps items is when i knew this game was dead. vma was such a unique thing in mmo and when people had those items you could just see in how they play that they were good players. now everyone shits out dps and is totally brainless. fuck that
>>2995810Its not DEAD dead yet, but its definitely in a bad spot and I don't see zos being able to fix it before they lose a fatal number of players. The combat team has been incompetent for years, the content team isn't much better nowadays, and both were working at an unbelievably slow pace even before the layoffs.
update 51 fucking when
>>2996421SÖÖÑ BЯØTHËR
>WoW: Forever and AION 2 will revive the MMO genre and then flop>Elder Scrolls VI will flop>ESO will prevail and get millions of new playersWe will be victorious
Attempting to install the update crashed my hard drive and my BIOS stopped detecting it. I don't know if ESO did it but why not throw shade.
Haven't played since summerset and want to give it another shot any class recommendations for a fun experience?
>error: unable to fetch legal docshow to fix?
>>2997492or is this because servers aren't back up yet or something?
nvmfixed
does the discord still exist?
>>2997383you should try arcanist for a brainless experience
>>2997892Yeah but it's deader than this general though that's probably a good thing.
>Log in>'Some of your addons are out-of-date'>Bombarded with cheevo completionsyea, sounds like a update alright
i can get trial gear from solo dungeons now right???i fucking hate trials.
>>2982235They added nonbinary characters since then. Is the game actually getting shuttered?
>>2999069Whether the game gets shuttered or retired into maintenance mode depends on non-public information, so anything you're seeing is guesswork. People aren't happy with the state of the game or the current roadmap and there's a noticeable drop in player count, but for all we know the numbers are still good enough to keep them operating for years to come. They might also be terrible and shut down next year, we just don't know.What we do know is that Asha is willing to yoink and redistribute franchises if she sees a studio fucking up bad enough, so I have to wonder if ZOS isn't in way more danger than ESO itself. I could see her bringing in Blizzard devs or something to try and salvage it before pulling the plug.
>Sheogorad Chateau >uninspired and colorless, just like Modern Sheogorath>90% of house is trapped inside cramped hallways>2 rooms are "flipped upside down" the only selling point>can't go behind, despite showing you a possibly cool backyard>can't go on top, stuck in the fence, not allowed near boatfire whoever the fuck is working on housing
>>2999423I've always been of the opinion that it'd be better to just have a blank plot of land in whatever biome and a slightly increased furniture count and just let players build their own shit from scratch.But there's only like three places like that and iirc they're all daedric realms (which is fine just it'd be nice if there were more on Tamriel).
>>2999472There's also the meadow in northern Elsweyr, and seaveil spire's buildable area is stupidly huge so it can be used for that too.
>Elemental Susceptibility: This morph now has a 3240 Magicka costIt's over
