Random thought while waiting at the Hostel...

How do those fire horses run on snow and ice? Wouldn't they melt it and trip all the time?

The first time I heard someone say echatere I was a bit disappointed to hear them say eh-cha-ter. Eh-sha-ter-re was what I was going for.

I gave up on any sort of correct pronunciation...

I just say "esk - a - cherry". I know it's wrong. But it sounds fun to say.

Happy Monday All!!



I have a terrible but wonderful dilemma........

Loving Wrothgar, however I have been unexpectedly drawn into DA Inquisition......



Two games, not enough hours in the day.

Soooo.... I said to heck with it, if I'm going to be doing some more undaunted dungeons (and I am) it's probably time to turn in some of the keys I've been saving ('cause I didn't want to turn them in till I hit vet MAX[tm] whatever that might be when I get there (and I don't game in a hurry, so I had a character with her initiall bronze from 45th, and a few non-vet silver keys and a few vet silver keys - she's like Vet 2 or so).

She's also my main cloth/crafter, so I figured might as well turn in the keys and see if I can get a page or two so I can get some laurels (mabye).

Lucky me! Got chest, legs and shoulders! Whoo-hoo... now I suppose I really have to get back into a dungeon or two. Been playing other characters lately.

Happy Goats!!!

Good Job @Zos

UrQuan

@newtinmpls if it was me I probably wouldn't bother to hold on to silver & bronze keys on characters below VR10 or so. In fact, I've got some low vet level characters who I occasionally get silver keys on, and I don't bother holding on to them on those characters - I just turn them in. Any gold keys that you get, though, I'd hold on to those if I were you. It may take you a long time to get to max level, but it's still probably worth it to hold on to the golds.

@freespirit I can confirm that (for me before I went to work anyway) the load screens are vastly improved! I strongly suspect that tonight it will no longer take me almost 45 minutes to grab all of my hireling mails! I'll probably be able to get them all in about 15 minutes again, like I used to back before IC.

That's the cutest thing ever!

You know.. totally explains why I wasn't noticing these long load screens... lately I had been playing on a new character, or my crafter which only did the quests she needed to to level...

newtinmpls

Hey @UrQuan I'll have you know that in my smug now-I-actually-got-a-fancy-shmancy-motif happy dancing world, saving up those silver keys was totally worth it.

And as I have yet to ever get a gold key.... well, not holding my breath about that.

lol, you'll get a gold key! I wouldn't try for a gold key on White Gold Tower or Imperial City Prison just yet if I were you, but as long as you've got a patient group willing to try multiple times and put in the time/effort for it, I'm sure you'd be able to get a gold key for Wayrest Sewers, or Spindleclutch, or Fungal Grotto or something.

@newtinmpls after IC I saved ALL my silver and gold keys, I didn't want any of the monster sets particularly, so saw no point in using them........

At the time I was totally unaware that with Orsinium the Undaunted chests were going to start dropping motifs but as an avid collector of Motifs.........

I just HAVE to have them and need to earn them myself!!

Imagine my delight when I became aware of the impending arrival of Motifs in Undaunted reward chests. On Orsinium release day my first port of call was Wayrest with my somewhat large cache of keys burning a hole in my pocket!

Lets just say I did remarkably well and as an added bonus I also now have 'good trait' usable versions of ALL monster shoulders.

The moral of this little story is that it is always worth saving those keys, as you never know what Zos is going to put in those chests next.

As for getting your first Gold key, I frequently run my VR16 healer with much lower scaled groups to give a helping hand and have a couple of friends who do the same with their VR16's.

Keep an eye on zone chat for high level characters saying ''Lfg any scale'' for them it's an easy run, for you it's a chance to learn the dungeons AND get your Gold keys.

However I would agree with @UrQuan save vICP and vWGT until you have a group you are comfortable with, although they have been made slightly easier, people still like to rage at whoever they think is causing a problem. Personally I never enter either without first putting on my tinfoil hat!!

I actually haven't tried either since the nerf - do you find it's significantly easier, or did they just tone things down slightly? I have yet to complete vWGT. I made one attempt pre-nerf with a group of others who hadn't ever done it before, and we got as far as our third wipe on the Planar Inhibitor before we gave up. I think we actually could have made it through given a few more attempts, but it was late, we were all tired, some of us had to work the next day, and we thought there was a high likelihood that we were going to start getting cranky, so we felt like it would be better not to keep trying that night.

Of course, if we had known then what I know now about the Adjudicator fight, we probably could have gotten through that fight a lot faster and with fewer wipes (or maybe even none), so we would have had more time for the later fights. I was the healer, and I kept on getting locked in the cages, and then the others would die while I was trying to get out (didn't help that a couple of times it bugged out as soon as I got into the cages and I couldn't interact with anything until we wiped and I resurrected). If I had known that it's not actually random as far as who gets picked to go into the cell... Well, the healer would have been able to actually keep healing people when needed.

Unfortunately he'll probably catch a lot of flak, hope he brought his extra-thick skin with him.

I certainly hope so.

I have always thought there are reasons the devs do not really post around here.

JD2013

Good evening all!

How are my favourite forum peeps?

newtinmpls

Sleep deprived.... but this is the last week I do two jobs, and tonight at 1130 will mark the end of my last 17 hour shift.....


Need to play ESO....

WldKarde

Good grief @newtinmpls after a 17 hour shift I'm guessing this is how you must feel



Catch some Z's and then maybe some



And then welcome back to Tamriel

Xendyn

Ugh, yes @newtinmpls hope you get some rest soon and get back in the saddle.

and @wldkarde that breakfast looks awesome. I want some!

I posted that last night...and then overslept this morning.
Had to throw down a fast food gut bomb on the way into work this morning.

And now I'm paying for it

What a crappy start to the morning. Hiyoooooooooo!

Afternoon all. Please help me keep sane with my insane workload.

Xendyn

Must be something in the air with all these overworked peeps.

Maybe we should send Molag Bal after your bosses

WldKarde

Here ya go @JD2013 try this until you can get your ESO fix

JD2013

That may work.

Maybe Sheogorath instead? For the funsies?

@wldkarde I think I need that. I will not be able to play ESO until Saturday. Have not played since Sunday.

Sigh.

newtinmpls

@wldkarde you pretty much hit it on the nose. @Xendyn thanks for the kind words

I did log in. Stared at the screen..... timed out for lack of doing anything.

Went to bed.

But today - only 8 hours - tomorrow - only 8 hours...... plotting the adventures!!! Wrothgar awaits!

And now that I opened the 8 or so silver undaunted key/chest thingies and actually have some mercenary motif, I'll have to do an undaunted or two and see if I can get a laurel.

Waiting for the weekend....

JD2013

Well, that was a great AUA.

I think this will create a mighty bad taste;

I was slightly disappointed by:

Wasn't that one of the reasons for removing VRs? Although, it makes sense in order to keep the itemization. As long as absolutely no content is restricted based on CPs, it'll probably be fine.

I saw that coming. I knew that they would implement "X amount of CP's needed for this gear," as it is an MMO and there's always a grind of some kind in an MMO, but I can see this being a much bigger grind than Vet Levels.

I can't see them restricting content based upon it, but them min/maxers will be foaming at the mouth asking what gear you have for new trials etc.
