Wish I could play. Waiting for CS to help. Until then...

Qutlaw · August 2020

I really wish I could play. I've made my purchase (and hope I chose right) and plan to subscribe. But until Customer Support fixes my issue, I can only come here to read articles and maybe make a few friends. So, if anyone is looking for a total-noob to play with, or chastise, I am yer guy. It only took 6 1/2 days to get forum access, so I am going to make the most of it.

For starters, if YOU were 98% new to ESO (I did play the beta) - which guides would you want to read first? I am sure to be overwhelmed, so any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. I have not even picked a class/race yet, but I was thinking something along the lines of an archer / ranged class, or perhaps something a bit more up-close. I played a rogue in WOW for many years, and that was my favorite class.

What would be your suggestions for either of those two careers?

I do consider myself a helpful type, so should anyone else need help, and I can provide it, you need only ask.

Anyway, that is my spiel, for now. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I like Dottz Gaming, not only does he do very good builds, but also very good guides. His starter guides are very helpful. He has a website https://dottzgaming.com/ and also on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC17JqasQTgqPhV6ZeSqHexQ.

Thank you very much for this, I will definitely check it out.
I really appreciate the heads-up.

Planning to stream my adventures on my Twitch channel now that I can get online and start playing.

WoW Rogue here as well.

Outstanding information, and I really (truly) appreciate the info from a fellow (lass?) Rogue from that "other" universe. Much of the terminology will be something I need to learn over-time but overall is not lost on me entirely. I can't wait to get into it, and learn these things and am looking forward to ESO. I am sure I will make many mistakes along the way, and assume (hopeful) that I can undo those mistakes by a re-spec at some point (if that is a thing here).

I am trying out a few characters, and will settle in soon, hopefully. All your info is going to help.

In the beginner area, I did not see anything other than 2H axes, and then some 1H swords, and that is what I am using now. But then again, I only got so far as the spider before I had to take off for some real-world stuff. I expect to get a lot further today.

Thanks so much!

If anyone needs a friend in game, feel free to add me. I'll figure out how to accept I am sure. I am planning to stream my screw-ups, not just the good stuff. Heh.

See ya out there! (Or by the sounds of it, I won't see ya comin')

I remember when WoW took away my 40-meter Teleport Strike and my Shurikens. Never felt the same about WoW and have always felt they gutted my Rogue.

Not playing WoW anymore -- here we have our teleport strike and two ranged thrown-blade attacks.

I am happy again. Also, I play in the "comfy chair" dragged in front of the widescreen TV with High Dynamic Range color and Bose sound bar. And, use of a controller to play is just so much more intuitive than a keyboard (and I am a good typist).

So like -- why would I ever go back to WoW?
