Honestly, I don't mind the sandals. I do kind of mind that the toes in this game look utterly disturbing, though.

They're clearly all attached to each other on your one-piece foot, and fine. Nobody wants to sacrifice 10 fps for every single character to have indidivual toes wriggling about, but the texture work doesn't do the one-piece foot any favors. Toes end up looking deformed and grody as heck and sandals draw way too much attention to them.

Oh well. I was never a foot guy, anyway. All well and good. Costume is still an absolute banger.

You're a GUY so *shrugs* I LOVE the rest of it! Just the shoes look like discount Halloween costume in a bag shoes

Is there any armor set or style or costume that actually comes with genuine HEELS? I can't think of one. Everything I'm aware of is flat-footed as heck: flat boots, flat shoes, flat sandals.

I'm pretty sure this is the point in the conversation where someone wafts out of the rafters and starts shrieking about "technical limitations" in ESO. But considering far FAR older MMOs manage to have a plethora of heeled footwear without it imploding their game: I don't buy it.

ESO could if they wanted to. If I had to guess, I'd say they don't think there's enough of a profit incentive to tackle the technical side.

Which is hilarious. Because I think everyone and their brother would be clamoring to put their Hot Altmer Girl in heels. All the Lusty Argonian Maids and Sexy Dancing Cat Boys of Rimmen would line up to throw their money at ZoS.

the mythic Mad God's Dancing Shoes from West Solstice has a heel and they are curled jester shoes.
sadly we cannot collect mythic styles so can only see it if we equip.

This sounds like pvp so I won't speak on it. Just it's nice to know I'm not the only dude getting weird looks for being on the forums when I should be working.

Just picked up the Cruel Corelanye Arms Pack...
the design is really sweet, lots of dark elegance and detail. That said, for a pack retailing for 2 500 Crowns, I was hoping for that extra touch: namely, a glow effect.
Most (if not all) arms packs at that price point include glowing and or some flashy effect... this one… doesn’t. It looks awesome, but feels like it’s missing the little “wow” moment.
So pls fix this

Edit for the one who dont understand whats the glow effect i'm talking about, its THE LIGHT emitted by the weapon.
Light:
No light :

it definitely has a blue flame effect

Yes thats all i see, a simple blue flame effect WITHOUT A GLOW

maybe this one isnt ment to emit light

I hope its just missing, otherwise its overpriced. Since as i mentioned all other arms pack for that price range all have a GLOW effect.
The only weapon with effect and no glow i can recall are some style from crown crates.

@ZOS_Icy how many boxes am i gonna have to farm to unlock this house. i am around 1000 farmed and nothing. I have a busy life outside this game, and it's quite disheartening to spend my time farming and not enjoying the other aspects of the game. random drops are a bad idea. i know people farming day and night can;t get the house and then some one else gets it first box... not cool.

When you’re talking about what is absolute best, literally capable of highest damage per second, isn’t there always a single meta in any game? There are often additional support/buff DPS roles, such as a Zen/Alkosh DK, but for pure DPS, isn’t there always a single best build? The difference with subclassing is that you can create it on more than one base class now.

I get why in score pushing you’ll want to use the meta, but otherwise — obviously pull your weight in a group, but by no means does that mean you can only play what’s meta (or else find a different group/guild). For me, subclassing has given me a great deal more options that fit how I wish to play.

The thing that a lot of people who are on the "why does everyone demand meta?" train is the difference between the meta and other builds. The balance right now is horribly skewed in such a way that playing non-meta is coming in at much lower efficiency.

Let's take an incredibly simplified example where there are 3 possible builds. Each build also has a range of damage it can do, where a good player can get the maximum out of it, and a bad player can get the minimum.

1. 80k-100k
2. 85k-95k
3. 60k-105k

Now the "meta" would be "everyone bring Build 3" because it's the highest damage. But look - if someone isn't good at playing build 3, they only get 60k out of it, so if they're better with Build 1 then it's a better choice to bring build 1. It's not like there's much of a difference in the maximum output if your group has some people playing 1 instead, since if you forced them to play 3 you'd get way less damage.

Now, what is ESO like now?

1. 50k-90k
2. 20k-40k
3. 120k-150k

So... why would anyone run anything but 3? If you're not good with build 3, you're still doing more than you would be with any other build. There's no way that bringing anything else is pulling your weight, because you can't even hope to match up to what you would be doing even if you were not good at that build. And if you don't like playing 3 and prefer playing 2... well, realize that your maximum output with 2 is less than half of your minimum output with 3, so yes you are quite literally throwing because "but but but I want to play the way I want!"

How do you fix this? balance. You balance the builds so that it looks more like the top example, and then someone who doesn't like to use build C does have a reasonable alternative and then they don't end up coming off as a selfish [snip] who doesn't want to contribute because they don't like the only viable build.

Of course, ESO is a lot more complicated than three builds. And now with Subclassing, we can't even balance around 7 Classes but we have to look at each line with each other line... and that's where the issues come in. If you have two DPS lines that offer all DPS passives (Herald and Assassination), there's no way that any other builds can match that output because they can't stack that many passives.

i am very excited to get the Chapel of Julianos.
i have wanted a notable bosmer home for years, though this is also technically imperial i like that too
