Re: solo dungeons achievements
Apparently (at least on PTS) Streak will do the trick. So perhaps have to save an extra build with Streak in the armory for that dungeon.I've already tried the vampire teleport, but it doesn't work. Maybe the strike will work, but I doubt it.
I think you misunderstood. I would not solo as a tank. I would farm as a tank in a group.Finding non-standard solutions and solo-ing bosses with minimal damage as a tank doesn't seem to align with each other. xD
I play all roles, all styles, solo, duo, full group, trials, PVE, PVP, everything. I adjust depending on what content and what kind of group I am playing with.
I get a lot out of completing a dungeon solo: satisfaction, feeling of accomplishment, knowing I did something that was not designed to work.It's your business if you want to solo dungeons and get nothing out of it. Some bees don't like honey, as I've heard.
I get those good brain chemicals just by completing the dungeon. I don't need to show off my achievement list to others for the dopamine. I solo dungeons for me. You can solo dungeons to show off to others if you like, but without those achievements your best bet is to record the runs and upload to Youtube.
Like I've tried to say, if there would be solo achievements, that would diminish my rewards, my dopamine. It would make the solo completion expected. So by wanting those achievements to show off to others, you also would be taking away from my enjoyment. I can enjoy things alone, without others. It's your problem if you want to do things solo, but still involve others for the dopamine hit.
Re: Where are all the new quests at for U47?
This year's story (Part 1 released in June, Part 2 will probably come in October or November) can be accessed by just travelling to Solstice (in the Southeast of the Tamriel map, beneath Murkmire) or through the collections/stories menu of the UI. You can choose "Start quest" or something like that there and it will appear in your quest log and you'll get a marker leading you to the quest npc that starts the story.
If you haven't done that yet, I'd suggest to play the prologue first. You can find it in the crown store in the "quest starters" category for free (the name is "A guild in crisis"). Or you can talk to Prince Azah directly. I don't know if he's available at three different locations for everyone or whether it depends on your character's war alliance, but for my Ebonheart Pact character, he's in Davon's Watch in Stonefalls, just when you enter the city gate.
I'd also like to mention that the new story is a sequel to the base game main quest and the base game Fighters Guild questline (Maybe also the Mages Guild questline, but not sure about that right now; in any way some events happening during the Fighters Guild questline are logically clearly supposed to happen before the new content - if you haven't played that yet but already play the new content, it will be a little weird).
I gave you an awesome for your amazing reply...thank you kindly

Re: is there a way to turn off the compass distances?

Most of the time I'm not even noticing the numbers, because I'm focused on the rest of the game window instead of the compass. And to be honest, I'm having trouble fathoming why it's such a big deal to have these numbers up there when most players are using addons that plaster all sorts of other things over the game's window. Oh, well-- to each their own, I suppose.
Different things bother different people. A lot of websites put videos, animated adverts and other movement next to and in between text (even Steam has started putting flickering gifs between paragraphs in a games description) and I assume a lot of people aren't bothered by them, but it's not a coincidence that there's been a corresponding rise in 3rd party plugins and then built in options to disable unnecessary movement because for some people it makes it impossible to focus on the text.
I suspect this assumption that "most players" cover the game in a mess of clashing addons is behind the apparent shift to ZOS no longer caring what their UI looks like, but I don't think it's true.
Some people do that, but a lot of people don't use addons at all (even on PC) and some of us are careful to only choose addons which blend in with the games UI and even use some to hide or minimise the base game UI. For example I use Azurah to reduce notifications to a small bar above the chat box because it's annoying having huge text covering what I'm doing.

Re: We should get a Battle Royale / Extraction PvP mode using Vengeance skills
Should this game really aim to be an old-school FPS? Seriously?

Re: Swimming mounts should NOT be this much fun!
Holy Cheesemonger, that turns out to be quite splendid and surprising fun, even if for a short while, until novelty wanes.
The improved speed through water while mounted is definitely helpful encouragement to hit the waters of Tamriel rather than just port & go.
I finally tried it out late last night almost as an after-thought after having played normally for several hours on both servers. I mounted up and rode around the waterways and lakes of lower Vvardenfell for a little bit-- and while I had great fun doing it, I was thinking that the mount-swimming speed was a bit too fast to be very realistic, especially on a horse. I guess I'll just RP that the speed is achieved through magical means.
Re: Swimming mounts should NOT be this much fun!
Anyone with the mammoth mount tried swimming, yet? If so, is it trunk up, snorkelling? Or does it just move the same as on land?
Snoot up snorkeling! Glorious. I love the swimming mounts!
Re: Cross Save / Cross Platform / Cross Play coming?
IMO the only real 'big changes' they could be talking about is cross-play... as it's desperately needed to keep the game filled, especially as more people leave, making it harder to do PvP or group content.
Some say, "NO, they mean overland difficulty"... honestly, that's not THAT big of a deal. I know a lot of people think it will, and there are some who have said they would return for increased difficulty... but I honestly doubt that. Some would return, but then get just as bored as they were before, and leave again. Depending on how they handle it, if there are no increased rewards for higher difficulty, then many people wouldn't choose it anyway. And if they don't give us the option to toggle the difficulty level- then they would lose a lot of the casual and solo players as well as new players being turned off because of the difficulty level. And yes, I have personally seen new players dying in starter zones... so making the game even more difficult would see them just walk away without even trying.
Wow its the first time i see you agreeing on the topic of cross play. And im agreeing on what you said, i think its desperatetly needed aswell.
