I don't even understand what that means.. How could the justice system be nerfed? Wish me luck

*Heads in the dark forum wilderness to find how one could nerf the justice system*

Oooh.. I see. Be able to steal/kill with no repercussions at all... I see...

Eh, I'd rather not touch that one. Not sure if he plays on console, but I find console very limiting social-wise. Personal opinion of course.

lathbury

sounds like cause they are maybe trying to head shot guards with bows so they can aquire green elf magic apparantly. instead of you know using mics in dungeons. like I said the forums been crazier than usual last night.
any way here's this

dont know why

@Xendyn Pray tell, what is a "Quick time" for taking a keep. The lads I roll with are bouncing around the 3min mark I think...

Did I miss anything good?

Very much depends on your definition of Good

All in all, personally, I think the news is generally positive. I think many of peoples questions will be answered over the next 10 days - whether they like the answers or not - well, that's another question

That being said, I do have a genuine concern over the fact there will be certain people who can speed grind the dungeons and grab the best in game gear pretty quickly and as some have mentioned, it's taken them the best part of a year to get the set they want - and even then - they are not completely finished.

If the dropped items are all BOE then no problem - although even then - the likes of TTM (Nesi and blobs) will still route and corner the market like they are doing on 3-4 pieces of gear. Hell, look at the prices of Shadow v14 kit. v16 is going to be higher if it's any good and they have the gold and the time to corner the market...

@Enodoc I responded to your comment on the TV Stones debate.

There is a one button exit route from Cyro btw

Although this was a while ago, some proof of a definite online community......

This shot was taken during a ride that happened to mark the passing of Terry Pratchett.

@P3ZZL3

Our best time was 1:37, average more like 2-2:15.
Red and Blues response times on NA can be pretty darn quick lol and getting 20/20 up on some of the keeps, of course, is difficult (notably Farragut and Alessia).

Off to investigate this morning's threads.

Good Morning .... er almost noonish where I am.

Have a good day.

Off I go to study

Study update.

I am getting really annoyed by the weirdness of HIPAA. What ever happened to common sense and respect?

Umm what the heck is HIPPA.

Can't even keep up with the threads today while doing my morning "chores" ingame. Just deconned my old Aether gear finally. Hung onto it in case they changed the stats or the meta again but since it's v12, no point keeping it now.
Was so exciting to get that stuff in my first trials, kinda sad to let it go.

The most fun I had in ESO was farming AA and HR for 2 sets of Aether it took me about 25 runs to finally get 5 unique pieces. They now stay on my mule all shiny and yellow.

I watched this YouTube video, and it has some awesome music in it but I can't figure out what it's called. I'm almost tempted to put a link here and ask if someone recognizes it, but it's one of those YouTubers read mean comments things, which makes me very reluctant to do so.

Shazam it?

I find it interesting they are scaling pledges/dungeons.. but not trials (as far as I've seen). Hm.

They did say they are working on new Trials. I think it's likely a progression thing. It's supposed to go AA, Hel Ra, then SO and they will add more (and harder ones) later on.

@Xendyn , it's better if you don't know.

(Really, it's an overzelous 'Merica thing - we don't even like it.)

But, at that scene in the movie Arnold is saying "SHUT UPPPP!!!!!"

DO IT NAOW!!! is from Predator


Why is that image making me so angry?

THERE'S NO CATS IN STAR WARS!!!!!!

I thought there was no crying in baseball?

Can we all take a step back and marvel at the awesomeness of this thread? I want to print it all out, make a leather bound book out of it, and give it to my grandchildren.

Yeah, I do like that idea.. that way you have some repeatable content (dungeons) but also have "end game" content that builds up in difficulty, and you don't have to actually hit max level before you can do any of it. I did see they mentioned new trials, cool.

Hah, I thought about that when it was mentioned that something was "not on topic". I was like, what IS our topic? Current Forum Events and BS'ing? lol

Hmmm.. I'm waiting on more "What about CP?" threads still.. saw a couple, but I thought there would be a lot with the (lack of) news about CP changes.

@newtinmpls and @Xendyn I have pm'd you about HIPAA, it's not on topic here.

You are correct in that I could have been much more overt about the connections I see between the ethics of the dichotomy between patient-provider privilege and provider-caregiver-cross-specialty communication.

In ESO, by the inherent necessity of being "played" on a single account, any "account worth" of characters has access (or potentially has access to) a great deal of information that they would not normally be "entitled to"; such as knowledge of future quests, reveals about the true identity of good or bad guys - even up to and including information about other factions and the long term results of choices they would not normally be able to foresee.

There are a couple of ways that players and their characters can choose to deal with this.

In the provisions of HIPAA there is mention of permissible "incidental disclosures"; which are presumed to reveal minimal and non-critically private information, and are assumed to be unavoidable. The names and sometimes roles of some high-ranking NPCs or enemies could be seen to be analogous to this; thus trying to conceal every little name/role/aspect of upper level quests is just not going to happen - to the extent that it's not worth worrying about or trying to prevent - and it's not likely to do much 'damage' in the way of interfering with the game.

So my EP players might know more about say, Ayrenn than they "should"; due to an AD character of mine who knows her quite well. However this shouldn't effect their choices too much, and I should probably be able to handle playing them without using / "accessing" that info.

Another way players might choose to deal with this is to take the "viewpoint" of the whole health care system as being analogous to the "player" view. It may be literally true in the sense that the player indeed has access to "all" of the accumulated information of all of his characters. However in my opinion, despite being literally true, there are disadvantages.

And this goes back to something related to HIPAA; the ethics of healthcare as applied to the experience of the "characters"

Beneficence - to take action for the welfare of others. Inherent in ESO is the idea that each "character" is a hero; a good guy. Included here is the implication that until the end of the story, any given character will not have access to "all" the information; ESO quests are RIFE with limited information and deceptively simple choices.

To take away from that personal choice/experience is to limit the character's autonomy, and in my opinion, it cheapens the game - as well as makes it less enjoyable.

YMMV

Good evening!

Just sat here doing boring invoices then I get to play! Yay! Currently making my Sorcerer less squishy. Redistributed my CP's last night, now have a spell crit of 44% so ... that's a start!

And just discovered the virtues of Overload ....

How is everyone?
