Crunch time is coming up to get them tranny stones. Got a bunch of toons to get some AP on. Could you explain the tier rewards for someone slightly stupid like myself.

I was under the impression I only needed 25k AP to get the 50 tranny stone geode. Is that tier 3 or tier 1 reward?

I thaught tier 1 was the top 100 players that get gold jewelry and wat not. I may have them backwards. Not sure. Then what is tier 2? Is there a tier 2? Is the 50 tranny stone geode guaranteed or is it less?

I'm terrible with reading gamer tags. Probably an age thing. There are exceptions... Yesterday for example, I was loading up a dizzying swing from stealth on an enemy near Sejanus when at the last minute I realized it was someone in one of my PvP guilds.

So I roll-dodged out of it, and the blow didn't land. Unfortunately, in the process I came out of stealth, he saw me, and he killed me. So much for that. lol

Ripboss one shot sniped me on his yellow the other day and we had a good laugh about it later.

Oh man, I logged on mid-afternoon yesterday solo and I think we had maybe two keeps. Rolled up on Chalman an hour later to find a crown with a small crew trying to siege the mine side wall with a cold fire ballista, two fire ballistas and a fire treb. No wonder it had been flagged for 5 minutes (and the wall was still at 10% when I got there...lol)
There are some newer crowns it seems on the daytime runs and EP needs that, but they're not doing their crew any favors if they don't explain where to hit, and what to hit it with. Map moves fast - you can't realistically expect to take a keep with siege that's only laying out 1000 HP damage per hit, especially when half of it is aimed at the postern of an outer wall...

Ep’s greatest strength is also our greatest weakness when the guilds aren’t on the pick ups and solo players get farmed and I have told them multiple times how to fix the map especially with seige but it’s pretty much pointless at this point My group couldn’t go on the offensive because we have Ap farmers following us not sieging and letting the map fall apart further because they won’t defend anything so we would have to death spawn to defend it.

I've been defending about 90% of this campaign because no one else has been lol

That's a little hyperbole but kinda true too...

geonsocal

well, all of EP's woes will be cured this week ( ) - finished up all my DC and AD characters for the campaign, and, will play mostly red until the campaign ends in a week or so...

looking forward to testing out earthgore on my magplar...gonna add a few pieces of swift to my stam sorc (need to get back to farming some bone pirate weapons for him)...

it feels like it's been a while since I've made any changes to my mag dk (last thing I did was to transmute rings to bloodthirsty)...may look to see if I want to change anything else with him...

played a bit over on EU again...might put together a few characters for their vivec map...will make everyone under the covenant banner...

geonsocal

wow, that earthgore set works wonders during siege and large melees...

I remember when the destro ults first came out and there were storm animations everywhere on the screen...last night it looked like it was raining blood all over the place...

did okay on my magplar, but - was really having a tough time landing total dark on folks...seemed to work much better in IC and 1v1's without so much "activity" on the screen...

Hurtfan

Why haven't I been using daedric mines the whole time?...maybe because the cost of magicka is kinda high but I'm hitting people with them for 3000 - 10,000 points of damage and they stun. I've broken up small zergs with these things.

Funny how you can play this game for multiple years but you still learn stuff all the time.

And I'm proud of EP this campaign, we've been short handed with guilds going off and doing other things (you're allowed lol), and we were in last place for a while. Pretty far behind 2nd place in fact. Not trying to jinx it, but good job taking 2nd this campaign EP with the deck stacked against you.

geonsocal

finally got a chance to put on a couple of "swift" rings on my stam sorc...

didn't realize you could buy gilding wax for 20 writs a piece from rolis...ended up buying them for 32k a piece from a guild trader...

I'm already in 7 medium, so I have the 21% speed bonus from that (7 x 3%)...

on epic jewelry the bonus is 9% for each piece I believe...

to be honest - I couldn't really tell the difference, but, I only played for a couple of hours...

the trade off for the extra 18% speed boost was about 1.7k stamina...

it was funny though - I was up on the south bridge tower of the alessia bridge, and totally flew off the top of the bridge at one point into a group of AD below...

reminded me of my old streak days...

speed definitely can kill

2 more days left in the campaign...

now have 3 characters over on the EU side...gonna make 1 more, level them all to around level 20 and just keep them in vivec there to use every once in a while...

made a breton magplar, altmer magblade, orc stam dk, and still need to do an argonian mag sorc...

I'm looking forward to making a sorc pet build for the first time...

hmmmmm, now that I'm thinking about it - may also add an imperial stam warden...

ugh, I'm down to about 6 hours of sleep a night right now...

unfortunately, I haven't been logging on until about 10pm lately...

all the time I say to myself "I'll only play for an hour or so"...

I'm not sure why I even kid myself anymore...

That's funny stuff right there.

Sometimes when I get too excited defending a keep, I fall off the wall right into a big ole sea of the enemy.

i was in the middle of switching back and forth between pouring two flaming oils when some AD player came up the stairs onto the top floor to engage...did a little bit of fighting, started taking damage, did a couple of quick dodge rolls...

my stam sorc uses a bow so hasty retreat and major expedition kicked in and i totally started losing control...didn't want to end up with the slaughterfish so moved toward the front edge of the tower...

what's funny is that i'm also a bosmer - so, the fall didn't really kill me - but, the 15 or so enemy players below did...

i know they must have been looking up smiling and thinking a gift from heaven just dropped...

I haven't been there in a couple of weeks. So i dunno what you no-goods are up to.

i've been up to: dying a bunch this week...

@Hoolielulu has a great thread up on the front page giving some perspective of how it feels for someone just discovering cyrodiil...

some great posts on the thread...couple of really well measured comments by @Aurielle that i enjoyed a bunch...

one thing that stuck out to me though was a comment by @Hurtfan saying: 'don't let dying bother you too much because it's part of the game and it happens a lot in pvp'...

i read this type of comment a lot, and - it is true...

butt - that's not how i always feel...

last night spent a bunch of time running away on my stam sorc (i should have went ahead and equipped my coward's gear set )...for whatever reason - i just couldn't get my rotations down - particular with my 2 hander (character uses bow/2 hander)...

part of the problem is that normally during the time i play (very late/very early US) - there's just not that many easy meal tickets out there fighting...i'm a pvp god on the weekends - during the week though - many times i am the weak...

i know i'm not doing myself any favors actively playing 10 different characters - there are times i just can't keep all the rotations and character playstyles in my mind...much of it is similar: buff/debuff, shield, heal, ranged/melee abilities, aoe/direct abilities - but, i just lose it sometimes...

it's one thing to get outplayed (which happens at times) or to get zerged down, it drives me nuts though when i die because i forget to check my food/drink buff, forget to use my pots, fumble my rotations -or - worse yet i have the wrong dang skills slotted for the situation

you would think after a few years dying wouldn't matter anymore - but, there are definitely times when it does...

trying to play on both servers is becoming seriously detrimental to my ability to get to sleep...

haven't jumped into the new campaign yet...

still making new characters over on the EU server...having a blast so far running through some of the games opening quests...fought doshia last night and the fight was pretty close - i got no pots to help with sustain yet on the sub level 10 characters...i almost forgot how much i used to hate harvesters...

it's going to be a challenge getting these characters with limited resources (in terms of coin and crafting) competitive there in vivec EU...

I can't wait to get them all in there though and start bum rushing folks with my level 12 guys...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

so far i've created: a breton mapplar, altmer magblade, orc stam dk, argonian magsorc, and redguard stam warden...

that should be good for now...it's funny - i remember clearly reading in the past about players with 12 or more characters and thinking they must be crazy...15 and counting for me now

still trying to figure out how i'm gonna get these guys gear...my plan is to level them at the same time, so hopefully i can pick stuff up from the rewards for the worthy - and, set each character in a zone for a set that i'd like to use;
magplar and magblade: malabal tor for spinners
mag sorc: rivenspire for necropotence
stam warden and stam dk: bangkorai for spriggans and seventh legion

we'll see - things usually work out differently from how you initially plan...i probably won't even start bothering to farm until their level 15 or 20...it's gonna be a while before i have enough mats or skill points to start crafting...

thankfully we're due for a double xp event soon...

Thank goodness RDR2 is coming out end of the month.
I seriously need a break from these game butchering nerfs that are coming and coming and coming.
Speed pots, rapids, major expedition and swift. RIP
Well swift needed some adjustment but in typical ZOS fashion they nerf everything.
Gonna be a slow time in Cyro.

Sanctum74

Through the years I've just become so numb to all the unwarranted changes they've done that I no longer have any expectations that Zos will ever get things right.

At this point I would just be happy if I could bar swap, use skills, potions, mount, and not deal with all the load screen problems, but of course no mention of performance improvements in the patch so it will probably just keep getting worse.

I'm so looking forward to RDR2 and taking a much needed break from this game. They just released a new gameplay video today and it looks AMAZING!!!

Lokirules

Fallout 76! I have high hopes for it

geonsocal

i'm still on the fence for RDR2...i didn't play the first, but, i had a chance to watch some of the gameplay vids - wow, just freaking wow

doesn't seem like a casual game you pick up and play a little though - looks like there at least a good 60 hours plus of content there...

it's been a while since i've played a game for the story - RDR2 looks like it might have a heck of a story

i'll be in on fallout 76 for sure though...if there is some kind of character progression as it relates to pvp - i wanna get in early and not be behind the curve with other players...

i definitely agree with you sanctum on the performance and continual re-balancing issues with eso pvp...

i have sooooo much time in effort in the characters i've created - not sure i could just cut the cord on them...

Lokirules

@geonsocal Did you see in the patch notes today that “Midyear is closer than you think” this kinda has me excited.
