So I finally saw the new SW movie this AM!

I will only say this...

The sins of Episodes 1-3 have been washed away!

And at last...

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...makes me feel like I'm 10 years old again



I already know Fallout 4 is waiting for me on Christmas morning...
Now if I could just get that Chub Loon pet...Pretty please ZOS!

It did what it needed to do. And it was fun

Sorry, can't promise that one...been waiting too long to get back into it!

Also it's the first time I've been able to wander the Wastelands AND Tamriel at the same time, without going back to a previous version of one or the other.

Both games have side effects.

I'm walking along and on one side I see something blue and think "bugloss" and then I see something metal and think "I can scrap that".

Well with this whole MMO/World Wide Web/24hr news cycle world we live in, sometimes it's hard to tell what time it is with those you are talking to.

Well, I ain't trying for "Mr. Timex" and all that so I'm just going to say it!

To my Popcorn, Puppies, Kittens, We LUV ESO, and all that is silly crowd...not to mention our friends @Zos for making this whole thing possible...

I wish you ALL a Very Happy Holidays!



And let's keep this "safe haven" afloat for another lap around the calendar!

Cheers!

I would like to second those Xmas wishes.......



To all of you where ever you are hope you have a wonderful time!!

and @wldkarde glad you enjoyed Star Wars, I think George sold to the right people.

Mosha

Thx for the TL;DR )

Happy X-Mas/Holidays/whatever-the-hell-you-celebrate!!

I saw the SW movie twice in 1 week (once in German with friends and once in English w/ family) and i loved it both times. English still rules though!

JD2013

A happy Christmas Eve to all of my PC brethren!

Thank you for this thread and making this year a lot of fun on these forums with the popcorn and memes and gifs and goat talk.

And for the Samoyeds!

May you all have a lovely day tomorrow. I think I'm getting some ESO related stuff from my other half, if so I'll post pics!

Hugs for all!

I was walking somewhere a few weeks ago, saw an actual bugloss, and knew what it was

WldKarde

Well I see @MisterBigglesworth has brought us some Christmas Cheer! Thank you kind Sir

Now I must ask the rest of you...

Where are the Christmas Puppies, Kittens, Goats...and most important of ALL...

Wait 4 it...

Breakfast???


Merry Christmas ALL!

freespirit

@wldkarde .........

Christmas Breakfast........



SWEETROLLS!!!!!

Happy Xmas.

JD2013

I now own one of these and can now be happy forever.

Best Christmas present ever.

Merry Christmas to all!

WldKarde

Awesome breakfast pic @freespirit ! I wish I could say mine was as enjoyable...as I spent my AM trying to convince Steam that I was indeed me, so I could begin my Fallout 4 journey.

But all is not lost, I proved once again that I'm indeed myself, and was able to enter the wastelands at last...and properly fortified, thanks to you! To think that changing one's PC and not bothering to log into their service for almost 2 years, would create such a ruckus...how rude!


Congrats on the new swag @JD2013 and I hope you will wear it with pride!

Just please don't wear it when you are in Cyrodiil fighting the Pact...

My poor characters are quite tired of DC and AD showoffs..."Yes, yes we know we are about to die! It's not our fault our driver doesn't know what he is doing!"


Edit: As usual...can't spell OR type

Kelces

Some variations of the "arrow-meme":





Talk about tough...

And of course one for the season:

Mosha

@Kelces the third one... Ahahaha! Nice

So are the ESO sweaters comfy, @JD2013? I need one in general, been that way for 4 months now if they're nice, I might get one myself. Don't know if AD or DC though...

newtinmpls

Happy stuff!!!



And for certain players-of-another-game:

Well spent a good 5 hours christmas day with my little boo-dog (okay, my alpha peanut butter colored sixty-some pound lab-mastiff mix) in the Emergency Room (vet).

He was intermittantly coughing at 7am, and kinda doing the 'bits o yellow bile' thing. Then over the next few hours it gets frothier, pinkish, pink streaked, red streaked, fluffier, more noisy/notable - his whole body was involved in coughing. By 11 or so we hauled him off to the ED where we sat and waited 4 hours (some things never change - and I can't complain since I've worked in EDs for humans, and same deal) and he apparently had pneumonia (for those of you in health care it was an x-ray so distinctive it should be used for teaching purposes).

He's taking his pills like a good boo, he's not coughing any more, and he is parked on a little rug to supervise my ESOing ('cause you can't just tell the Alpha he has a day off).

My holiday wish for anyone else is that if things do start to go wrong for you and yours - ingame or out - that you catch it early and find a good fix.

WldKarde

Wow @newtinmpls hope your pooch is feeling better!

Sounds like your wingman is in very good hands though

As one who grew up on a ranch...sometimes I think that the best people, are the 4 legged ones!

What would we do without our "little" furry friends

Now to more important things...

Dang, @newtinmpls sorry for the rough time for your boo. Glad you got it taken care of early tho and he's gonna be ok.

Topic derail!!!11!1!

How is the EU megaserver looking these days in terms of player/guild activity? I am considering getting back to ESO now that Tamriel is unleashed, but really don't wanna waste my buck if there's nobody around anymore.

So, how's the world activity atm? Anyone got a feel for this?

freespirit

@ufoldager I play on EU Pc and never have an issue finding people to group with.........

Admittedly trials can take a bit of organising BUT I think that has more to do with them only being VR14 and consequently the gear drops are obsolete.

The early areas are still pretty busy as is Orsinium and as I play DC, Wayrest(the DC Undaunted hub) is also very busy.

Give it a go you may be surprised !!

@newtinmpls ........

Oh what a horrible Xmas day you must have had, I hope Boo-dog is well on the road to recovery!!

I spent the last 7 days trying to persuade my 13yr old ''baby dog'' that the 6 month old puppy my daughter brought home for Xmas was infact NOT edible........

She was not convinced however........

So we played a version of musical chairs, well ''musical dogs'' where they were never left in the same room without supervision. By yesterday the puppy could walk past Blue without to much of a reaction, thankfully the puppy has now gone home and peace and quiet has been restored.

Yeah I know that bigger PvE groups need some organizing. But I was also referring to the PVP activity on the server. There used to be quite a lot of action back in the beginning (I played daily for about the first 4 months or so, then quit). So, it seems from you that PvE is fine (I have a DK at v10 or so), but what about PvP?

What is Orsinium?

And what did Zenimax do to the business model? I read somewhere that they removed monthly subscriptions and instead offered Tamriel as a one-time purchase, but on my account I can only subscribe to monthly, quarterly or annual subscriptions.

Thanks!

Enodoc

Oh wow @ufoldager you've been away for a while

Orsinium is the newest DLC pack, which opens up the region of Wrothgar for a whole new questing experience (over 30 story and side quests, plus 12 repeatable dailies), as well as a solo Arena challenge.

Monthly subscriptions are no longer required - if you previously purchased ESO, all you need to do is patch up and you can play straight away. On your account, you have the opportunity to purchase optional subscriptions to the Premium service "ESO Plus", which gives a boost to XP, Gold, Research, and Inspiration, free access to all DLC for as long as your sub is active, and 1500 Crowns for the Crown Store for each 30 days your sub is good for. The Crown Store is the "Cash Shop" for ESO, selling "cosmetic and convenience" items (mounts, pets, costumes, skill/attribute respecs, food, drink, tri-pots, etc).

I hope your dog is well.

I have a pet sitter that watches my dog when I am at work. Almost two weeks ago, I was at work and I get a phone call from the vet saying that my dog was really sick, and they wanted permission to do surgery on her if needed. I was freaking out because when I left that morning my dog was fine.

I'm not sure how it happened, but my dog had a bacterial infection in your tummy and thank god my pet sitter took her to the vet. For a week my dog would not eat; so during that time I bought some baby food and fed her with a syringe.

I think it was the night before Christmas, or Christmas day she started eating again, and now is back to normal.

I love my Miniature Schnauzer, she is such a great dog.

A nice little summation there @Enodoc but you forgot to mention that Orsinium is AWESOME! Seriously, IMO it's by far the best zone in the game. It's raised the bar, and if future DLCs can live up to it, then it definitely bodes well for the future of ESO. If it had also included a new group dungeon or two, and maybe a trial, then it would be pretty much the most perfect DLC possible as far as I'm concerned.
