GinaBruno think you can find out if this is the case? With dungeons/pledges scaling to VR16, will mob dropped loot be able to be deconstructed for a chance at some of the new materials - in old dungeons scaled to VR16 and/or the new ones?

Yes. Dungeons will be scaled up to VR16, and the loot you receive from these dungeons will also drop up to VR16. Loot you receive from both old and new dungeons (the new ones being the White-Gold Tower and Imperial Prison) can be deconstructed for a chance at some of the new materials.

So really, if I like the new gear sets in the new dungeons... I don't need Tel Var stones except for enchanting! Which I think the daily quest loot boxes should give enough for that.

Cool! See, the farther we go the better it gets for you non pvpers
I'm looking forward to more details on the sets at Quakecon.

So there's new crafting materials? My stockpile of voidstone and the like are useless?

Yep, use em up on writs and stuff, or get em on the market before most people realize this.
Really it's about time. Void has been stretched way too far at this point, anyway.

adding: There's also a new Alchemy Solvent and Enchants. So Cloud Mist and Kura won't be top of the line anymore, either. No new traits tho, so those of us that are 9 trait crafters have much to look forward to.

I saw the new runes, must have missed the new water.

Well, I haven't heard them say crafting writs would get a bump, maybe they will leave them at voidstone?

Yeah, it really does. We get new sets and new dungeons. I actually do like questing in Cyrodiil, so I'll be doing
those. it was SUPER thoughtful of ZOS to give stones via those in unlootable boxes. Really, the Tel Ra stone sets in my eyes are like the current PvP gear... meant for PvP, purchased with a PvP currency, so if I want them, get them with gold (or very slowly get my own stones via questing)

Oh, and as you mentioned elsewhere... after IC flips I'll give it a minute or two to let the mainly PvP players inside to help clear out the enemy PvP'ers before I get in lol

Sheesh, I go away from the forums for a couple of weeks, come back and this thread is up to 78 frickin pages... Ain't no-one got time for that!

JD2013

The PC force is strong ...

UrQuan

Side note: in the time I've been away from the forums I finally hit VR14, and participated in my first trial (not in that order). But I did see that the tale of that first trial has already been told in this thread by @MissBizz. I will say that I'm fairly happy that we got as far as the last boss with so many inexperienced people (like myself, and also the guy who had just done his first group dungeon, followed immediately by his first veteran dungeon the night before) in the group. The next run I'm sure we'll all do better! I should especially be better at healing in my shiny new VR14 gear (including 5-piece Healer's Habit set).

Nice, I'm rocking VR13 healer gear (VR14 necklace).

Wow.. Never even noticed it was 78 pages. Way to go everyone! Lol

I got irritated with the vitriol on the forums and decided to stay away for a while. Plus, I'm usually on the forums when I'm bored at work, and I had a week's worth of process simplicity workshops with no computer... Frankly I was expecting them to kick me out after the first day considering I was the guy shooting down a lot of the ideas being thrown around (actual quote from me as close as I can remember it: "granted I've only been working in credit risk for a little over a month, but I feel like it would be a bad idea to stop getting people to sign their mortgage documents when they're changing the legal terms and conditions..."). I really wasn't expecting to be there for the duration.

Well...
I kinda suggest you don't look too closely out there, then.

lol I know, I know... It's OK though, a break from the madness has refreshed me enough that I'm OK with dealing with a bit more of it for the time being

Yo, welcome back Urquan

So you may have noticed a few new topics being "debated" out there since you've been away

Grab a chair and come join us for some breakfast. Today, we are in Kuwait:

MissBizz

That breakfast looks fantastic, I brought a mirror so this pup is entertained and doesn't try to take it.



Did vet fungal last night.. once I healed and once I tanked. It was fun. I've only done it once before! Both runs went super awesome.

Isn't that sort of a Darth Vader-y idea?

Hmmmmm I could see Boethia really getting into the idea of "changing a deal".

Firs things first....you need to know what the Total Risk cost would be:

For those in a different time zone...breakfast in zkery

Shouldn't try that before coffee

I tanked vet FG for the first time last night (at VR14 - my first time trying out my new VR14 tanking gear, and I think my first time doing any vet dungeon scaled to VR14), after having only done it once before as a DPS. I was surprised at how well it went, considering I'd only done the dungeon once before (same for the only other member of the party I actually knew - the other 2 were randoms who were probably more experienced) and I haven't done much tanking with my Templar before. I don't think we had a single death until the final boss

UrQuan

For all the breakfast folks, I'm sorry I don't have a nice fancy professional breakfast photo to share, but here's one from my own kitchen this morning:

Mmmm, scotch eggs...

lol the funny thing is everyone suggesting we do it that way was coming at it from the point of view of "this would be more convenient for the borrowers" and everyone was agreeing that if any of them ever came back and complained about it we'd just automatically pay them rather than bother with going through the courts (because the courts would definitely positively side against us). So the discussions were around "yes, but how many of them would actually complain and need to be paid?" The whole point of the workshops was actually to make the process less painful and better for the borrowers, so the ideas all came from a good place at least, even if I didn't agree that they were all good ideas

Xendyn

Yum...

I wonder if the North American megaserver for the PTS is more populated. I'm on the European one, but so far I've only seen one other player after spending roughly 2 hours traveling all over Tamriel.

is the new stuff on pts yet?

Probably not. I'm just curious on which side I have a more likely chance to run into some people on the Forum... for research purposes, of course.

Since when are the PTS servers different? That's why they take turns copying characters... for eu and na to each have their turn with their own. That's where you can actually do stuff with people from EU.

And no, PTS isn't the new stuff yet.
