fwiw, the ever-open eye also appears in shadowfen and greenshade.

keep at it; you'll get him.

I recently heard that if you kill all enemies in dolmen up to the point they stop spawning and then destroy 4 pinions one after another there is a higher chance for a boss.

Is it true? Or its made up story, a placebo effect, something to give people hope?

I doubt that's true, it's just people trying to derive patters from randomness.

I see a lot of complaints about Champion Points from people who want 400 plus champion points, but don't want to put any effort in to get them.

When did this happen?

Thanks, I didn't know that. I've heard from several people in-game that the Ever-Open Eye mostly appears at the Boralis Dolmen in Rivenspire. Going to give that one a few tries, then hop over to Greenshade and Shadowfen.

If you're hunting for a specific general you're much better off doing it in your home alliance's zones, because pre-vet levels there's a specific zone (but not a specific dolmen - any general for the zone has an equal chance at spawning at any dolmen, so your best bet is to rotate from dolmen to dolmen in the hopes that you'll get to do the dolmens in sequence and minimize the time while you wait for dolmens to spawn) in which each general spawns. In your Cadwell's Silver and Gold zones (and Cyrodiil) any general can spawn at any dolmen. So anywhere other than your home alliance's zones you have the same chance of encountering a general, but if you're looking for one specific general you have a much lower chance of encountering that particular one than if you were in the appropriate zone of your home alliance.

The devs have said it's a myth. I've got the achievement for killing all of the generals, and I personally never noticed a difference in the likelihood of a general when pinions were closed early (which happened almost every time there were other people at the dolmen as well as me) compared to waiting until all enemies were dead (which happened every time I was the only one doing the dolmen, only because I was too busy fighting everyone to grab a pinion any earlier).

Xendyn

Yeh it's amazing how superstitions get started, become misinformation then "fact"
I have one Guild that Insists it's true. Have that achievement as well and never saw a difference in it.

I tease them by saying that if you dance Redguard 3 times around the chest, you'll get better loot, too.

not enough pics in here...

Yeah, I'm in the same boat thinking that it's a placebo boat.

It's unfortunate, that. It ruins the enjoyment of a low-level player at a dolmen if a Vet comes in and facerolls it just looking for the general because of its spawn chance. They should make spawn chance in the Vet zones the same as in the pre-Vet zones, apart from the first zones. Since Zone 1 has no generals, Vet Zones 1 and 6 could stay with the chance of any general. This would mean that if it spawns in your pre-Vet Rivenspire, it should spawn in your Vet Greenshade or Shadowfen with the same chance, or in your Vet Auridon or Stonefalls (or Cyrodiil) with a lower chance.

Really? You got the achievement just for killing one of the mobs even though you were too late to actually fight the general? Ha ha, that's awesome!

Agree with that. It probably took me longer to get that cheeve as I did it all in Vet zones so as not to interfere with the lowbies.

Hah I've done this so many times. My wife will tell me a dolmen is dropping and by the time I free myself up and get there, if there's a bunch of people I only get a chance to shoot an enemy to get credit. I've almost perfected diving off a horse and firing. There's been a few where I ran straight for it and dove over a short drop and unmounted in the air so I could fire as soon as I hit the ground.

I did it in the pre-vet zones, but if players were around of the appropriate levels I hung back and just healed or buffed them instead of stomping everything.

That's actually a rather handy way to level restoration. That's good. Well, good for me. I needed to get that up.

Well, it would be if I was actually getting any XP for those dolmens, but I wasn't. I was only in it to get the generals achievement and the dye that goes with it. I had to level my resto staff the old-fashioned way: by putting it on a bar that I swapped to while handing in quests

NadiusMaximus

Lol.

No patch this week.

Hexyl

Sad.

P3ZZL3

It's no doubt because they are actually about to release a massive patch and are busy running it through the QA Division before they release it on PC to make sure it works and is fluid.

Whilst they do this, John, the Cleaner from the floor downstaires, is busy working in his free time on the NA/EU Console patches that are still going ahead

Morning all

Happy Monday Everyone......



Unfortunately my day has been more like this......



I am about to go to war with my ISP, apparently abysmal speeds are completely ok, when coupled with the sentence........

''We are working to upgrade the services in your area, unfortunately the issues you are having could go on until October''

Last night my supposed up to152Mb broadband was consistently hovering at around 10Mb......

I have to question what they were working on at 9pm on a Sunday night!?!

Rinmaethodain

I just called my ISP to renew my internet contract. Im supposed to have 1Mb megabyte/s right now from what i can use only 80% of it and im pretty sure even if im changing to 2Mb now my speed will remain same and ISP will blame it on technical state of my line.

And the only alternative is other ISP that would still use same line but charging more and offering 'bigger in theory' speeds.

Other alternatives are LTE, wireless and radio internet with low speeds and horrendous download limits.

My last war with ISP was about line parameters. For 2 years my internet was running good (its ADSL), connection parameters were ok. I had a router on 10 meter cable to my room. And one day suddenly line parameters dropped down and of course ISP didnt want to do anything because they blamed my cable that was working fine for all that time. ISP logic, there is 1 kilometer of cable from the central to my house but the problem is last 10 meters of my extension cable.

Sure. I just peed a little laughing so hard at this huge mega fix it all patch we have been told about.
Last week proved they can't get one thing added to the game without breaking it for hours, so the pure notion they are going to fix everything at once and everything will be *** peaches and rainbows leaves me speechless.

Besides, does anybody believe a damn thing they say anymore. A ZOS official could tell me the sky is blue and I'd double check just to make sure.

Forgot to add that. My bad. I'm on EU and DC.

I'm EU and DC AND very bored atm......

What's your ingame name?

I'll log in and see if my internet will let me play....

Dude, if you're that bored, get into Chillrend Campaign and go Mining

Oh, and @NadiusMaximus ..... are you SURE it's blue?

Not a dude.

Chillrend is my assigned Campaign.....

What do you mean by mining?

I am not a PVP fan unless with people who know how useless I am!!

P3ZZL3

Opps, well, it actually wasn't an opening response aligned to male or female to be honest

Soooo Dudetttte...

Mining is basically jumping into the mines around Cyrodiil and grabbing the chests, do 3-4 rotations and get some martial gear then head off to another one. Maybe chuck in a Dolman in between

Last night, me and a DC Colleague we were deep in the depths of EP picking up the remaining Skyshards we needed (I've already completed on first alt, now getting them all in second )

Rinmaethodain

What was the most lazy thing you did in ESO?

Mine so far was teleporting to other player in Rawlkha while being just outside Rawlkha because i was too lazy to cross the river and climb up to city. Swimming in river is so slow and im sure some crocodile would attack me.

The other one is when doing enchanter writs i need to get certain rune from bank and instead of that i just make 5 of glyphs that use this rune and just decon them, usually gives me rune i need and dont have to go to bank.

Thanks for the explanation.

I'm afraid I'm really not a fan of Cyrodiil though, I find the distances needed to travel anywhere very annoying, especially as I often get killed......

However I do enjoy a bit of Dolmen bashing, infact last few times I've actually logged in, all I did was hop around the Rift(VR10) doing the Dolmens and WB.......

I have a few generals missing on some of my VR's......

I find solo-ing them good fun and great for swapping around skills to see what I might have missed.

Hexyl

x) so lazy.

I expect every time someone comes into dungeon for teleport on him..
