Wasn't Monday a holiday in Canada?

I kept looking at the "3 month" wall calendar at work, seeing the day in blue and thinking it was almost September.

Yup. Or at least it was in BC and Alberta - I'm not entirely sure if it was in the rest of the country too...

So, with all these posts and the fun all kicking off early doors with the console release, I'm just sitting here like:




How are your days going so far?

Thankyou for starting this post, it has been my favorite forum discussion to date.

Forum seems....well you'll see.

Good morning all!

Page 4 just will not do.

Got a feeling most of the usual suspects are hanging out on PTS (All hail Popcorn PTS)....but the push to page 100 MUST go on in their absence!

Kill something for me in the next 8 hours...gotta go do the work thing.

Cheers

Have a good day in the office dude

I might as well ask here, you guys sound like an helpful crowd and have that PTS thing going...

How many points do you need to have to unlock the new materials tier for each craft? Anyone knows? So far pre-IC it's 40 except for Alchemy where it is 48. Just out of curiosity... does anyone know?

Hmmm good question.

No! We're not helpful! We're jerks! Oh wait, that might just be me...

Um, I don't know the answer, but if nobody has come up with an answer by the time I get a chance to log on tonight I'll check on PTS for you.

Is it bad that I knew exactly what video/song that was just from the preview image?

I'm sure it says somewhere in the patch notes it says50 @Khenarthi I just remember reading them and thinking "oh! A reason to be level 50 in crafts!"

Khenarthi

Oh thanks @MissBizz I somehow read the PTS Patch notes and missed that bit entirely.

Hmm... I wonder if this means no new tiers will be added with Orsinium... we'll wait and see.

MissBizz

@Khenarthi I was paranoid I was mis-remembering, but I found where it said...

Added new ranks to the Metalworking, Solvent Proficiency, Tailoring, Potency Improvement, and Woodworking passives, reflecting the higher-level objects created.
These ranks require their respective trade skills to be at Level 50.

Well since other than enchanting, which is still a PITA to level, shouldn't be that hard for most to get everything to 50.

I've always kinda wondered why people stopped early on some of the crafting. Again except enchanting.
I got 2 of my characters to 50 in enchanting....and I have no idea why I figured I need a second one.

Head + Brick wall...but I was SURE it wouldn't hurt if I did it just once more. I'll never learn

Let's see, last I checked I have 1 character at enchanting 50, 1 at 42 (I leveled to 40, then just this weekend ended up reading 2 skill books for enchanting), 1 at 35, 5 at 30-34, and 8 at 10-15. I keep leveling it on my alts because I might as well do something with the white glyphs that drop, and because higher levels means I can have higher potency runes coming from my hirelings.

Yeh people stopped because there was no reason to get to 50...now there is.
All of my characters get leveled in all crafts to a certain extent: for getting the most out of decon without having to pass stuff around, for hirelings and for top-end writs. My "spares" don't bother with points in Keen Eye, researching or improvements.

For example, because I had 5 leveled to max in Provisioning, I was able to do a large number of writs for the new XP pot recipe. Still took me weeks lol but I can imagine I'd still be trying if I was only able to do 1 a day.

Likewise, once you have a full enchanter (or other crafter) and are leveling a Vet it's much easier to level crafting on alts as you can just pass them stuff to decon, (made or found) plus feed them mats that may be easier to gather on a vet than a lowbie.

Too tired to think of something clever.

So I went for cute:

It started with the game going Buy To Play and then the console launch. Now we have players here who don't even play the game, who write and comment on the forums.

The consoles introduced us to a lot of new players, who had to struggle and start out in a world where the economy is run by the ones who transferred their accounts from PC..... alongside them being complete noobs, starting out in an already well established world economy who's run by experienced players - it's hard to get a foot into a good guild, and on top of it ESO is soon going to change with a big patch, so a lot of builds will change - the consoles have no where to go, to seek information for builds, because all the information is outdated. They don't even have the luxury of all the addons we do to test builds for themselves.

Aye, looking a bit better. I'm especially happy about Sorcs getting a little love. There were some undocumented goodies in there.

Greetings everyone!

I have been reading over the forums, and ... man! What's happened?? So much nastiness in here now.

Also, the PTS notes for 2.1.1 - some hidden gems!

I haven't browsed the forums since early this morning. Now I'm scared, is it bad out there? Should I get bourbon and popcorn before venturing out? I'll settle in and read natch potes while the PTS update finishes.
