The Aussie Thread - Share your ESO Expriences!

Heathenpride

Pretty simple really, a place for Aussies (of all platforms & servers) to share and meet!

When posting put your platform & server at the top of your post like this: [PC=EU/NA] - [PS4-EU/NA] - [Xbox-EU/NA]

Tell us of your experiences, adventures, issues, gripes and anything really! Maybe you started a guild or know of a great Aussie one out there? There's plenty to discuss and we all know that us Aussies love a yarn

I will start...

[PS4-NA] I started upon console release and have found the game, mostly, to be excellent BUT not without issues and many frustrations.

I did, however, expect it with the game so whilst it is frustrating I am not surprised as the game needs time to develop on console.

I found the NA server as the EU one was down at the time so I jumped on NA and haven't looked back really. I've met a bunch of good folks and started a guild that's doing OK, it could be bigger but I believe in quality over quantity

I would prefer our own server but, to be honest, I don't think it's happening so I am happy with NA for now. I may try the EU but not just yet.

Not sure if the thread will take off but ya never know, figured I'd give it a crack!

[PS4 NA] G'Day! Well I've played since release on console & absolutely love it. Made a few new gaming mates through an Aussie guild i came across & that has made it a whole lot better too. Nice work on creating this thread, hopefully it kicks off

[PS4 NA] Sounds like you've had a similar experience mate.

The game is so rich and varied and I can't get enough.

How have you found the NA server?

[PS4 NA] Overall the leveling experience has been fun, but i find the PvP unplayable which is a shame because it is all i was interested in playing at end game so i find myself logging on less and less.

I'm happy with the NA server mate, although i haven't tried the EU so i can't really compare. But like i said in my other post, I've found some fellow Aussie to game with so that has made me happy

[PS4 NA] Is that for any particular reason? I love the PvP but I certainly die a lot, being a NB is bad enough but with all those PC transfers running around it's even more dangerous lol

A bit worried about IC, will jump on in a few hours and see how my squishy toon goes in there

Love this game , so addictive , mmo aspects have made it much more sociable and hilarious than Skyrim + Oblivion ever were , while the sheer scale of it and amount of stuff to do ( delves , quests , exploring , crafting , achievements , dungeons ) mean I'm getting up 90 minutes early each am just to get a hit before work and on weekends the real world hardly gets a look in . Yes there are bugs and lag and kick back to home screen, and I haven't been Pvping so I don't have a say about all the potential for grief there , but most of the time its FUN! and being in an aussie guild to Pve with is fantastic cos the Yank voices can be a bit much after a while .....:)

How do y'all play ESO when you've essentially got XXXX cans strapped to your hands, making it difficult to use a controller / keyboard?

And can did you really have to ride a 'roo into town to buy a copy?

[PS4][NA][DC] I have been playing since beta on PC.

I love the game both the PvE and PvP are great fun when everything works. PvE has a large amount of solo able content that you can do in your own time and at your pace, but the group content is a lot of fun with friends. I came in with the expectation that I wouldn't enjoy the PvP part of the game but I am very glad that I was wrong. The PvP is a lot of fun and while there is a learning curve involved it is a fun ride and with a knowledgeable group of people you can pick it all up very quickly.

One of the best parts of this game has been the community for me. If you don't look at the negativity on this forum 90% of the people I have met in game have been generous, helpful, friendly and great to game with.

Biggest problem for me has been the lag and disconnection problems. The lag and disconnects on console have been worse than I was getting on PC despite there being no changes with my internet. I'm hoping the IC update is going to improve it because since console launch I have done very little PvP because as soon as I get near a group of 20 players I just seem to get disconnected which is a real shame because I miss my PvP. I have also had to stop healing for most group dungeons because I seem to have a 3-4 second delay at times and predictive healing is no way to do a group dungeon.

Good to see some fellow Aussies playing the game on console.

G'day cobbers,

I've been playing on PC since Beta and have run into heaps of other Aussies (and enticed a good proportion of those to join my main guild Knights of Nirn).

I've found lots of people who say Australians are among the best gamers around .... I reckon we develop good skills cos of all the resistance training we do fighting lag

I feel the same way man, it's so damn HUGE!!! I haven't really done much in the real world aside from work, good thing my GF plays as well - She has a V4 NB so she's a big fan of the game.

The group content/social aspect is massive for me. I run one guild and co-run another, have tripled my PSN list (it was already maxed at 100 from PS3) and have made some genuine friends out there in Tamriel so I 100% agree with you there

The lag delay is an unfortunate aspect but what can ya do? Switching from heals is a good plan but it sucks if you actually want to be the healer

We are some of the best, it's because we are so laid back and it's harder to stress us out because we live on a continent sized (mainly) desert island filled with the worlds deadliest creatures haha

Corrupted_Soul

At work so I don't have time to write a full post, but i'll list a few things quickly!
QLDer running a V14 MAG DPS Dragonknight, debating switching to Stamina at V16.
Played since Console launch.
Constant battle with lag that Americans will never understand.
Timezone differences.
i love it!

Constant stuttering and disconnections when ever more than 5 people are fighting, i find it odd though because pvp works fine for me on the PC version

I get my share of issues as well, occasionally it's that lag spike but mostly it's OK.

The main issues I have are when I am in combat sometimes and I can't attack, I literally have to run away and find a spot with no action in order to 'catch up' with the game and it's bloody frustrating.

I have tried switching weapons which sometimes works as does, in PvE, trying to travel to a player.

It's maddening but that's not something that happens every 5 min, maybe twice a day.

It has to do with the PS4 servers surely.

G'day cobber, 'nother Ozzy 'ere from Straya,

Just got in from shearin' the sheep when me and the fellas saw this old doozy of a thread and faster than you can chuck another shrimp on the barbie I thought i'd throw my 2 cents in the ring and have a punt. Got the game the day after me mate bought his ute from a sale out near Gunnedah, he ended up writing it off a day later when he hit a roo but that's a ditty for another day. Find the game to be more fun than watchin two goanas mate in the middle of a dirt highway, which as any true blue knows is a rollickin' good time. Let's make a wish and a prayer that the game hangs about longer than our Prime Ministers do as I think beatin' the Daedras is as fun as winning the Bledisloe and Ashes in the same year! Better go now, the missus, or me old Sheila as I like to call her, just about has me bangers and mash on the table for din din.

In a while, crocodiles!
