It's mother flippin' Friday!

The forums discussions seem more varied lately. Half of the threads for so long have either been Addon Envy or Text Chat Envy (whether the poster realized it or not). The rest were mostly impotent, and largely funny, rage. But the last few days there's been less need to hide out in here. Also less risk of my being slapped with the banhammer

Just need to make sure I do my writs and start my nirn research at lunch time

Well, you already know my thoughts on this "camping" of yours but... If you're not hiking into the wilderness with nothing but what you can carry on your back, it ain't really camping!

I'm sure it'll be fun anyway though

You haven't done camping untill you have had the experience of truly roughing it. Aka a sharp knife and the clothes on your back and that's it... :P

You take a knife with you? I rely on finding some flint to flake with a stone in order to fashion my own tools...

What's wrong with foraging for food? lol

Actually, while I do bring food for me while camping, I have been known to supplement it with foraged stuff on occasion. Skunk cabbage is surprisingly tasty, as long as you're careful not to eat too much of it.

Nature is bountiful if you know what to look for. Of course, you need to know what is good... Don't want to be mistaking Death Camas for wild onions...

If they stick to that I'd be pretty happy... Didn't they say something very similar back at launch though?

Personally, I always thought 4 - 6 weeks was pretty naive.

If they can stick to that I will be very happy.

Personally I only know some of what to look for, and only in my native environment (the Pacific Northwest). Plunk me down in a different ecosystem and I'd probably have to rely on the trial and error method of figuring out what I can and can't eat, which would likely lead to my untimely demise...

Oh man, I forgot that they were quite that optimistic about the release schedule back then! Yeah, at least every 12 weeks is more realistic than what they initially planned.

Grouping with other alliances is being done.

I am not sure how I feel about that.

Really? Did they give any details on how it would work? If it's done right, I consider this to be fantastic news

They are going to do it with the dungeon LFG tool first.

Then they are apparently going to roll it out across more things.

I guess that will help it a lot with grouping up, which is a good thing.

Just for dungeons at first.

Dark brotherhood and thieves guild are two separate dlcs and will be after orsinium

MissBizz

Oh. Someone might want to tell that guy they are adding controller support...

P3ZZL3

Not in the near future MissBizz

Not if it's intuitive anyhows. Might work on 15 machines in the offices, but rolling out to 10000+ pc's with different set ups...a support nightmare lol

Just with the LFG tool first? So I guess if you've got friends in another alliance and you want to group up for a dungeon you still won't be able to send them an invite for it. Well, it's a start at least, and I'm OK with them taking this one step at a time.

P3ZZL3

@UrQuan I suspect once that's stable, the friends list would be next.

LFG is the bane in their backside....

I'd be curious to know what percentage of PC players actually wants to use a controller with this game. I know I'm way happier using a keyboard and mouse than using a controller (I played Skyrim on both PS3 and PC, and I look at that game as proof that I'm much better and more comfortable using a keyboard and mouse), but I have no idea whether I represent the majority of PC players in that regard or not.

I guess I could start a poll... Or search to see if there's an existing poll on the topic somewhere in the bowels of the forums. Both of those options would require some effort though, and I don't think I really care enough to bother putting in that effort

I actually do that. Well with Obsidian since Eastern Oregon has one of the best places to mine it.
