This game is great and even better shared with a friend or new acquaintances brought together by a common task. My trek through Tamriel has not been without its hardships accentuated with multiple deaths, but all-in-all a good experience.
My point to this post is to encourage folks to slow their intense grind to VR-12 and help some people struggling with whatever task they are engaged. It pains me when I see people on chat asking for help and no-one responds. How do I know they do not get a response, because that person asking for help has been me many times and most of the time I get no response. When I have time I always attempt to answer the call for help and port to that person after accepting an invite to group with them.
Does stopping to help slow down my progress in the grind toward VR-12? Certainly it does, but at the heart of any social-based game are the relationships we make along the way. I only want to remind folks that there is a sense of satisfaction you get from being charitable and unselfish. Try it – you will like it. And, most importantly for the world of Tamriel, we will be around for a long time.
This clamor for level, loot, and such is part of the MMO world but so are friendship, unselfishness, and charity.
Every person I have met in ESO through sharing a task to be done have been extraordinary people, fun to know, witty, and after we are done continuing with chat and setting us a “friends’ in the contacts screen.
See you in-game.

Vannor✭✭Whenever I get to Coldharbour (second char just got there), I take the time to revisit all the lower zones getting all the lore books, world bosses and Dolmens I missed. Always take the time time to shout out in /zone that I'm doing this or that so people can come and get the achievement.0 -
AdamBourke✭✭✭✭✭I've been playing for 60 hours, and I'm only level 22. Whaaaat?
Much of my level comes from expolration. I've discovered all the locations in the Pact, except Mistspire and Mistspire wayshrine, and found nearly 100 lorebooks. I went all the way up to Windhelm when I was level 10, and down to shadowfen not much later (It was nerve-wracking!).
I like to make sure i'm doing everything and seeing everything. I also help out others when I can. Whether that's answering questions, crafting traited items for people (for a modest fee of 150g), or rushing to the site of a newly opened dark anchor. (Although that's partly because I love the sound they make...).
Who needs levels anyway?PS4 - EU
Please put the Eyevea/EarthForge wayshrines back on the map?0 -
javajedi✭✭✭I am notorious for meandering through Tamriel and detouring along the way just to see what there is to see. I don't run through the world trying to kill everything as fast as I can...unless I am on a zombie killing spree...but that's a different story. Call it a Walking Dead fixation, but whenever I encounter a horde, I feel obligated to gain a couple of levels by mindlessly killing them until I tire of it.
Regardless, some of the most fun moments I've had in-game are from accepting random group requests. I will always give a shout out in zone when a group boss or dolmen I'm near comes up. If I'm in the area, I'll always respond to those cries too.
What makes this game so fun is never knowing what I might run across next. Just yesterday I became a vampire simply because I was out wandering at the right place at the right time (or wrong place wrong time depending on your point of view). I literally stumbled into the vampire shrine in Bangkorai at night because I saw a faint glow of light and wondered what it was. There was some guy standing next to a weird candle lit altar and before I put it together, I'm getting the blood sucked out of me in a dramatic fashion. When I got the onscreen message that I'd contracted vampirism, I thought why not. I hadn't intended to go that route but I'd apparently just been given a free bite so I went with it.
I've been playing since early access and am just now knocking on the door of hitting level 49. I'm not even worried about gaining VR ranks. I'll get there when I get there because I'm enjoying the journey! I think I'll be a polite vampire along the way though. I'll ask if someone wants to be bitten first.

✭Nah , i will join with other on my path , but i wont go out of said path for others , unless they are guildies , in which case i will do so from time to time.
I prefer to play the game solo anyway , while having others around me doesnt bother me at all , i dont try to make friends and so on.
So in the end , i will just keep doing my quests alone."Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

jesterstear✭✭✭My progress could hardly be slower in veteran rank if I wanted it to be. Two weeks to get from VR2 to VR3 and died so much that my gold reserves have gone down over this period from repairs, soul gems and consumables.
I don't see much zone chat at VR but pre-vet I would always answer calls for help, if nothing else it's a way to leech extra xp from healing people, and at times I've struggled to find enough quests to level with. Helping/healing sure beats grinding.1 -

✭I'm helping people in lower VR quest areas, truth be told though. There isn't that many people around to help.Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...0
