Amusing idea

Loading screens.. They don't both me, but I had a funny idea! The ESO get fit program. A ESO fitband with ESO app. The app allows you to view your character, and fitband to work on your IRL character. Both provide real Time build data while the ESO fitband tracks sets, reps, and calories. Top 100 in calories burned and overall fitness progress get legendary gear.

I figure I bust out 10 strong pushups per loading screen I can make my physical resistance and weapon damage go up infinitely. :)

Lose that unsightly 10 pounds ;)

    Just 10 pushups per loading screen? Either your loading screens are much shorter than mine, or you aren't cranking them out very quickly! Then again, given that I'm being disconnected quite regularly now, I have time for a full work out with all of the loading screens from logging in over and over and over again...

    I guess my screens are shorter.

    You make a good point though. 10 strong pushups and 10 situps then.

    Now we're cooking! Build up some muscle while keeping that dad-bod at bay!

    Is it bad that when I read cooking I immediately thought about provisioning in ESO?

    Haha. I hear you. I saw some bushes when I was out getting coffee earlier this week that immediately made me think of Jute. It would have only been 3 raw Jute, so I didn't bother.

    I'm sure if you called customer service they could send a stealth nightblade to replant that bush to give a higher yield.

    They're more likely to nerf that node and replace it with a broken barrel.

    Now that statement does not go with a person who will not settle for just 10 strong pushups. Sounds like someone who gets discouraged easily and quits.

    I bet the barrel is merely a trick to sift through the weak. The bush being somewhere close. How about that thought?

    I'd do 100 real situps if this would accelerate the loading screens.

    Two thoughts. First of all, I'm just going based on the trends that we've seen time and time again. Secondly, don't get me wrong, even though the Jute is gone and I KNOW that the barrel is broken, I will still get off my horse and see if there is anything in the barrel, even though I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there isn't anything there.

    I'm currently plotting out my run to Master Chef so that I can take advantage of the food/drink passives, and also make the necessary buffs to bolster my solo play, so I've been relentlessly looting any and all containers for the ingredients to make the grind as quick as possible!

    Tell that wouldn't be a cool stream? Strong pushups and situps during loading screens. Even a funny YouTube.

    Forget donations to take shots.. How about get so sore you can't even play. ;)

    I liked the second part of that post. Despite the current mood, it is cool to love this game and make posts about it.

    What ESO recipes are your current favorite?

    Well, the game is currently unplayable for me in it's current state. I have not been able to log in my original toon for the past couple of days. I am able to log in my second toon, however I get disconnected whenever I tried to enter/leave delves/dungeons/buildings, etc. Thankfully there is plenty of EPL, and League 1, La Liga to keep me occupied while I troll the forums.

    For leveling purposes, I am focusing mainly on recipes that require fish, as I have plenty of fish, and the seasonings and cheese can be found all over the place while questing.

    Fish +
    • Flour - Pan-Fried Trout - Level 15
    • Cheese - Whiterun Cheese-Baked Trout - Level 20
    • Seasoning - Salted Cod - Level 25
    • Saltrice - Senchal Curry Fish and Rice - Level 30
    Once I've reach level 50, I will most likely only keep ingredients on hand for food/drinks that buff 2/3 attributes, especially given the bank space limitations.

    Tri-stat ultimate riverhold beef pastry is on the menu for me. It looks like a calzone when he eats it. Plus he eats it fast. Unless meals that take a long animation, the ultimate riverhold beef pastry is in your belly asap

    I don't have that recipe yet, however I'll keep an eye out when I go trolling through the guild stores again.
