Yeah it's turning pretty nasty out there, by the looks of it.

Let's settle in here with popcorn, and await August 31st when I bet things will *really* kick off with Imperial City release . . .

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?

I just discovered Azurah... it's amazing and fits in so well with the default UI design

Hmm, interesting. There are so many UI add-ons that I hate, but I think this one could be useful without looking super ugly to me like most of them do. Installing it now!

Let me know how it goes URq. Would be interested in seeing what's what Tad bored with mine right now.

Soooooooooooo, lot's of fun things happening in the world, but not so much to forums.

Oh, and my favourite, relevant image from yesterday:

Yeah, it has HP numbers without them looking out-of-place (I tried a few before where they look odd or just don't work properly), and the different coloured health bars for "friendly" and "neutral" targets are clever. I should have expected as much from the author of Srendarr, considering how nicely that one fits with the UI as well.
And then I was like Azurah, S'rendarr... clever naming

Xendyn

Agree (with the names and the quality) I use both of them.

Unscheduled (?) PTS update loading. I thought it might be a character copy but seems big for just that.

When PTS update was 65% complete, NA suddenly popped up with the Repair button. What gives?!?

Browsing the forums and this PC thread while NA repair completes, then have to un-pause PTS download. Guess no ESOTU tonight (actually early AM PDT).

Too much ambient light to watch the Perseid meteor shower, despite clear skies and new moon..

It's EU copy and the new build. There's Patch notes up.
Not sure what's up with your launcher...but then it is the ESO launcher lol.

10 times out of 9 when that pops up you should ignore it and not repair. Exiting out of the launcher and going back in (might take a couple of times) will solve it (temporarily).

That's pretty much what I did.

Wow, following up on the conversation about the Azurah add-on from a page or two ago... For some reason I assumed that after I installed it I would have to play around with the settings to activate the various features, and that it might take some doing to get it to look the way I like (I'm picky about the way my UI looks - I'm not one of the folks who insists on full immersion, but I also hate any UI elements that make the screen feel too busy and gamey - like all those hideous number clouds I see so many people use).

Yeah, no I had been logged on for a while before I realized that the add-on was already activated with the default settings, and that they fit in so nicely with the standard UI that I simply hadn't noticed. And yet there's all this helpful info now visible on my screen! In a totally unobtrusive way! I love this add-on!

Yeah, I thought the same. I looked through the settings to see what was there, but the only changes I made were to set XP back to default and to add level-based colour to the target names. My view on UI vs. immersion is that I don't like things floating around in-world (like health bars and quest markers), but more info in the HUD (like Azurah's numbers and S'rendarr's buffs) is always nice.

Can you guys post a screeny of what you see right now, with Azu? Might install tonight when i get home.

Yeah, but I'm not surprised to see it. That's definitely a "convenience". What I don't like is that lore-stretching pumpkin thing.

There are many lore friendly possbile events, yes adding pumpkin is strange.

You wait. November they will release an over sized horse, that looks like a reindeer, with a red nose, wearing a Christmas hat.

However..I LOVE the Breton Hero outfit.

JD2013

Goats! Pet goats!!!

Also love the Breton Hero outfit.

That pumpkin head thing though ... Halloween event coming? Maybe if they do the actual in world Witches Festival as a holiday in the game?

Reverb

That Breton Hero costume is really great.

Would be interesting to watch the world change in game by the real live events such as Christmas/Fall/Easter etc...

To be honest, from what I've seen of the gear stats, the V16 gear is such a tiny amount better than V15, I'm not really planning on it being a "must have". I kind of look at it the same way I do CP...it'll come naturally while playing, not something to go out and grind for.
Except maybe the monster sets, looks like Nerienth's is pretty awesome now.

And those big bosses in the city..yeh we got pretty toasted by that Lich one lol.

Oh yeah! I got half of that set last night because I went and spent all my gold keys lol. By the drops I got on the PTS I think I'll be quite happy when I hit VR16 and actually use them on live. Plus I should have quite a few more by then Yeah, I also am in the "take CP as it comes" crowd, which flows over into gear as well. It is a VERY small difference to VR16.

So the gold keys we're saving definitely return vr 16 gear once we reach vr16?

I was still VR14 when I used them last night, but I haven't seen anything to say they shouldn't. The gear you get scales to your character level when you open the chest - so they should. I planned on waiting but at this rate I won't be levelling on the PTS before they swap to EU, or if I do it'll be darn close, and I was in need of gear last night.

The pumpkin head polymorph is terrible. Why not a hagraven polymorph or something a little more lore-oriented?

FACT: People will pay for a character with a pumpkin on it's head.

This is how it looks with default settings (I'm pretty sure I turned off the only other UI-related add-ons that I use). Frankly I doubt I'll bother playing around with the settings, because the defaults are pretty much exactly what I would want.

P3ZZL3

what about buff timers? Does it have that option?

Ysne58

Are Azurah and Srenarr add ons that can be used instead of FTC or do they work with FTC?
