Playstation: NA and EU (Gray Host) - This Must Be The Place...

geonsocal · February 2017

hopefully it goes without saying...love seeing ya'lls vids of gameplay...

it's weird, never really thought about doing it til someone mentioned capturing some "unique" sights you might see...really wish I had recorded some of the old arena district stuff now - talk about bizarre...

for whatever reason, I like the glitches: transparent outposts, high overhead camera perspective, enemies within a keep still stuck in the "floor" - unkilllable, long after the battle; and the odd stuff: people "role" playing

...all alliances getting together in cyro to chill...

...wild melee's, siege perspective of the different alliances breaching the outer wall...hands down - EP looks the "scariest" coming in...i always think fire ants

that red just comes alive on the screen...

just gotta get it together one day...

I do ask please, limited high screeching noises, caused by either fear or anger - cuz it's annoying

and lite cussing - cuz the mods will edit out a bunch of that sweet and salty stuff...

Hmmm

geonsocal · February 2017

as always - you rock

...been meaning to start youtube account...shoot, probably already have one and just forgot...alright then...

so, basically just trim up the clip in capture gallery then go to share factory select new project, select a theme (hmmmm, didn't find any eso themes), select x number of clips and then: yikes - lots of editing looking stuff (yeah, I'm gonna have to revisit that whole step later), then press triangle to share...

this looks hard

wow, holy crap - nice find @OutLaw_Nynx ...

yeah, that's a pretty significant event (february 27 to march 6)...no CP pvp/double AP...bring it on - sure am glad now that I've started experimenting with taking potions...

My solo gear is built to be balanced, my Sorc should be able to do the no CP for a week. This will make for an interesting week.

@Strider_Roshin You'll be hanging out with us in Haderus and Scourge for this event right? I remember back in the day you were big on NoCP campaigns. Not sure if your opinion has changed on that, but yea you should totally jump in on this event.

I'm sorry AD, I picked up your scroll as you tried to run it back past Ash and i dropped it back at Warden.
I've been running my stam sorc orc high speed build which was perfect for a scroll run. The only DC that could catch up had max speed horses with rapids.
It's a useless build for fights but I can lap a keep super fast, take camps down and escape most enemy players. Pretty amusing to play.
This morning I did help those bananas out on my AD character though. DC had capped all but one or two keeps so I made a switch to help recapture a couple yellow home keeps. Pretty frustrating to log on and find the map is all one colour.

Love it i considered building my orc for this but decidex as many times as ive held a scroll its not worth it lol. I used it for farming mats for a while until i began my boycott of grinding

t3hdubzy · February 2017

Follow up thought can you go werewolf with a scroll?

Maff · February 2017

@t3hdubzy
I used this build for farming Craglorn earlier. Definitely makes things easier. I wanted to make this build a long time ago but never got around to farming the armour. Before this he just wore Viper and Affliction, but I'm not a big fan of proc sets so rarely used him in Cyrodiil.
Regarding werewolves I'd guess you could pick one up if you were already in form. I haven't tried but think ultimates don't work when carrying scrolls.

Takes-No-Prisoner · February 2017

Orc is great for StamSorc in general, their sprinting passive is amazing with Hurricane out

geonsocal · February 2017

if anyone buys the house next to rawl'kha please let me know...haven't really watched any preview vids on that spot; but, I'm a little concerned with the size of the yard being partly water...

all my characters work out of rawl'kha...there are a lot nicer places, just seems the most convenient though...

TequilaFire · February 2017

Had one of those days that made me sad on Scourge yesterday with the questionable tactics of a certain emperor.
Wish they would fix the ambushing into keeps when the walls aren't down thing.
It is totally devastating to be destro/proxy bombed by an emp you don't expect to be in your keep yet as you counter siege.
Happens once you go meh, but multiple times it gets old.

Yesterday at Chalman specifically was in at least 3 times by my count more by others count.
Not trying to call him out just wish they would fix the problem.

I hear ya, but honestly ive only accidentally did that one time chasing someone to a door, its not easy to do on accident. Obvious exploit.

Ha - Yes, I can see where that would be an issue with the individual in question. I've unintentionally ambushed into a keep a few times (Gap closing a player who's running for the door trying to kill them before they get in) but usually my reaction upon finding myself on the wrong side of that door is "Oh %*&$#!! Now I'm gonna die!"

I'm usually killed within seconds.

yeah, not too crazy about folks knowingly trying to get over...once, it's an ooops - multiple times, unless you're a noob, that's pretty clear exploiting...

it's been awhile since i've run into any enemies inside a keep, last time I did see it i had thought that enemy player was a leftover from a previous battle and had just hidden inside the keep (which is actually a lot of fun to do

)...

I'll never forget when I first started playing the first time I was with a small group and we had gone to a keep deep in enemy territory and there was an enemy player trying to "help" our group through a door by having players gap close on him...didn't like that, left group and walked away...just don't get the point of playing that way...

All this talk reminds me of a time my friend

that was stupid cool!!!

ugh, I need to get my poop together and start posting vid clips...

loved the music - who says bow builds aren't effective for up close fighting...

especially loved the whole "do a little damage and then i'm outta here hopping off the top wall"...

okay, seeing how it's just us and we're friends here - yeah, every so often I'll check to see if I can get up on the wall...since the "fix" - never works for me though

to be honest, not sure how much damage (minus the ult) I could cause to the folks up top...got me really wondering now

well...after about 3 hours of downloading - finally got on last night and picked up one of the free apartments (rosy lion)...

hope everyone is having fun with their houses...to be honest - i'm more interested in making my way into cyro and testing out new builds/abilities and gear; and, of course all the yummy new AP gains...

i'm happy though to see the progress eso is making...not a perfect world out there - but, a pretty darn good game...

I was excited to get on and try out the Destro buffs. Had a great time messing around in PvP.

got me wondering now - what part are your alluding to - the rework of the ancient knowledge passive?

Ancient Knowledge: This passive ability no longer decreases the cast time of your Destruction Staff Heavy Attacks by 5/10%. Instead, it grants you a bonus as long as you have one Destruction Staff ability slotted. This bonus depends on your staff type:
Flame Staves: Increases your single-target damage dealt by 4/8%.
Frost Staves: Increases the amount of damage you Block by 10/20%, and reduces the cost of Block by 15/30%.
Lightning Staves: Increases your Area of Effect damage dealt by 4/8%.
Elemental Drain (Weakness to Elements morph): This morph no longer restores a flat value of Magicka whenever you deal Flame, Frost, or Shock Damage to the target. Instead, it applies Minor Magickasteal to them.

Takes-No-Prisoner · February 2017

Yup that is the one

Been a couple of weeks since I've been on this discussion. I've been re-specing skills so had to dolmen farm in Auridon and Alik'r. Noobs that destroy the pinions irritate me.

I'm playing my DC toon this campaign to see how DC text chat rolls. Wow, just as toxic as EP text chat. STFU seems to be the acronym favorite.

Playing EP toons in Haderus, text chat has gotten toxic as well. EP has controlled Haderus for a long time so the players are not used to a lot fighting. With the overflow from Scourge and the closed campaigns, the competition has kicked it up several notches. Now you got Scourge players fighting with Haderus players about strategy all the time. STFU here, STFU there. LOL.

If Orsinium DLC is accessed through a cart in a PVE town, I can't see why IC can't be accessed through a portal, cave, windmill, pier, boat, etc. A lot of PVE players don't like entering Cyrodiil.

@t3hdubzy I remember seeing your guild chat about that fight against AD.

Since I play on all alliances, I'm pretty discreet. I'm not "gud" at 1v1 so I just support from far away - siege weapons and weakening or draining skills. Must...defend...keep...

you're my hero @PhxOldGamer68 ...isn't it so nice to play at your own pace and not have to worry about whom/when/where you fight or kill...for awhile there when i was affiliated with some pvp guilds - occasionally i would tend to avoid that particular alliance at times...it's nice to feel free...

100% agree on the making it easier to go to IC...such great pvp potential there...many times when i show up it's really empty or very imbalanced...still, a fun pve zone though...

took a trip to bangkorai with a character that had never been there before...wanted to go pick up the imperial disguise at Hallin's Stand...i was absolutely amazed at just how "empty" of other players that map was...

maybe it's just me...i enjoy farming a bunch - does it seem to anyone else like they've decreased the number of raw material nodes?

I like running with morning start with 3 to 8 players is about my max.

Actually been considering running it for just this, i havent been able to block through it at all and i run only 18k hp, but what to sacrifice lol?

You Cannot Block Haunting Curse. It was apart of the PTS patch notes that they made the ability to go off for full damage even if it is blocked.

According to another thread, the Fire Staff buff will increase the single target damage from Curse, and Lightning Staff would buff the Aoe portion of it.

Sorc is really nasty to fight if you're not running shields.

Khajit has no shields on his bar. LoL, yea i skipped that part of notes. Usually i try to burst em down before it goes off. Purge is going to be a must.
