A milestone I reach this week......

Nice! I think the highest I've ever had in the bank at any given time is about 1.4-1.5 million.

I reached a milestone this week too: I've now completed every quest/delve/world boss/dolmen/etc (I'm a completionist - every character needs to do everything in a zone before moving on to the next zone) in all of the level 1-50 zones and defeated Molag Bal on all 8 characters on my main account! Now they're all VR2 or higher and working on completing Silver or Gold zones (that's right, my VR14 and my VR16 haven't completed all of their Gold zones, or Craglorn, or Wrothgar yet).

*Bows head in amazement and respect*

I'm sitting on 900K in the bank right now, I think my highest was 1.8M. Might have something to do with fools and their gold being soon parted...IDK.

Ugh...note 2 self...
Play more and shop less at guild stores ...your 2nd account characters need new toys also

Oh sometimes I think the main reason my Hubby is happy for to me to play this game way, way too much IS the fact my ''shopping sprees'' are taking place ingame and not costing him ''real'' money

I think my biggest spend to date was just after IC dropped and I just HAD to have those 3 pieces of arcane Willpower jewelry, iirc it was about 1.7million.........

Mmmmm maybe Hubby has a point!!

freespirit

Wow @UrQuan, Ive managed whole area clearances including Silver and Gold on my 2 VR16's........

My VR14 is parked atm until I work out a way to enjoy her, for some reason DK isn't suiting me and my NB baby is only lvl 33 so still a way to go on her........

Not completed Craglorn on any character yet though.

You have my admiration for doing 1-50 on 8 characters for sure!!

UrQuan

Something that people may or may not find interesting:

As a completionist doing everything in every zone (but never grinding) I used to find that I'd hit VR1 about 1/3 of the way through completing Coldharbour, and by the time I completed all of Coldharbour and defeated Molag Bal I'd be a large chunk of the way to VR2. So when doing Cadwell's Silver, by the time I completed the starter islands and moved on to the first full zone, I'd be either at VR2, or just about to hit VR2.

That was before they reduced the amount of XP required for each vet rank and changed the amount of XP that you got for quests and some other stuff. The 3 characters of mine who have completed Coldharbour since those changes have all hit VR1 at about the same point I always used to, but now they're all hitting VR2 before I go off to fight Molag Bal.

freespirit

Those figures are similar to my experience with my second and third characters, I missed stuff with my first, mainly because I didn't know the scope of what was available in each area.

I am terrible for getting many hours into a game before actually working out what information is available on the UI........

Probably why I don't use any addons I still find stuff on the basic UI that's ''new'' to me even now.

Last night I actually realised how few trophies my Sorc had actually collected, well gives me something to do when I'm bored.

I finished the Daedric Lord Slayer title off last night......... sad but true fact I really, really enjoyed one shotting the mobs in the lowbie areas.

@newtinmpls my original post on my Xmas present choice stated..........

''Oh and on top of that I asked earlier today for the equipment to allow me to convert my vinyl albums into digital form AND showed him many such items online........

Whilst telling him ''I had no knowledge of audio devices and he should check them out and pick what he thought was most suited".

Over the years I and my husband have found out that .... men and woman are two different species. And it gets weirder from there.

What it looks like from the outside is that in your language, showing him a selection of items meant "pick from this list, because I have found some really cool options for what I want".

In his language it appears to have been received as "Here is an idea, run with it and make it awesome".

What he did appears to have been (in his language) "I took cherished quality items that I have carefully hoarded away" [side note: being a packrat myself, I assure you that 'sharing something from the hoard' is a high high high compliment and NOT any kind of insult or shortcut'] and made you the most awesome system in the world, besides which those online options are prefab crap."

What he appears to have done seems to have been received by you as "you didn't get me a thing from my list, therefore you are not taking my request seriously"

I understand that in your language you "asked for a brand new system". What I would ask is did you, in actual words, say the words "I want a brand new system - specifically one of these ones which I have showed you".

I know - in your language that's a silly question.

It took hubby and I about ... well .... um .... maybe about eight years to figure this particular pitfall out.

Which is good, because there are certain dear workmates of mine never to be specified that have run up against this very issue, and I have had versions of this conversation with buddies who then look at me blankly and then say "well he should know exactly what I mean."

Sigh. different species. Really.... I swear.

An on that note, another oldie but a goodie:



And I have yet to get a character past v5. I'm looking ahead to making crafting mistakes at whatever the equivalent of V16 will be (CP "a billion" or something?) with much trepidation.

Question:

Has anyone noticed an issue with the Soul Shatter passive going off and killing you?
Seems like my NB I'm leveling is committing suicide every time I get into a WB fight or similar and that passive goes off.

Poor you. No. It means these are the EXACT things I want. I slaved figuring out what exact brand and model, do not veer away! Well, hopefully you enjoy our drama free zone with plenty amount of popcorn.

Hmm, no, but I've never actually put a point into that passive. This kind of makes me want to, though. I mean, I feel like the first few times this happened it would be hilarious. It would probably get old pretty fast after that, though...

Although I do understand the arguments of how we need the console......generation....to succeed, don't forget that the prices they charge for console games it could well just be a cash grab for the investors and them move back to concentrating on the PC

Current gen consoles work off the x86 architecture. Hardest thing for them to dev for is probably the cruddy hardware and their integrated XBlive or PS + requirements.

I came back from lunch, opened my game to see that a wild maintenance appeared with a "you shall not PASS" super-effective move. My reaction?

Ahhh yeah. Check out the banner at the top of the forums. Bunch of people couldn't log in... better to fix it mid day than prime time Friday night...

Grab some popcorn, gifs and meme's while you're here! Shouldn't be long, Gina already said they're testing.

Yeah, know after sniffing through several topics I know that the problem is because some people in Stonefalls and Coldharbour can't login, but that was some intel that me a while to get, the explanation given wasn't very clear.

If you kept trying (which means you have to force close the game when it becomes clear that zoning in isn't working), eventually you would get in. And I do mean eventually. As a result of this and having a couple of characters on my second account parked in Davon's Watch it took me a full 4 hours to collect my hireling mails last night.

IMPORTANT UPDATE..........

The new stylus arrived........

It sounds ABSOLUTELY superb.

I truly had forgotten the depth of sound that comes from vinyl.

I'm a bit of a Pink Floyd fan and I just fell in love with them all over again.........

PROBLEM!!

Well not really a problem as I will always have the deck to use.....

But they are not going to sound half as good when converted to digital.

For those of you banging your head against a wall........

Hubby feels exactly the same

Tis the fate sometimes of living in our "modern" world...we sometimes choose convenience over quality

But as you said...you can always fall back to the deck for some good Ol fashioned quality.

At least music is timeless...I sometimes wish there was a time machine that could take me back to the magical days when DOOM was still state of the art.

Here's too the simple pleasures of life...and the joys they can bring.

Oh man this sounds so cool.

I'm still waiting for my DK flame mage/dunmer to get to v16 so I can get him a set of Phoenix armor - can you imagine the constant exploding and damage to all and sundry?

Yee-hahhh!
