We’re looking for stories about guild events, friends and/or family members who have been able to adventure together more easily, new friends you’ve met on your One Tamriel adventures, or even new places you’ve discovered.

If you have a great story that came about because of One Tamriel, please share it with us in this thread! We’ll be selecting a few for the article, which will be published on elderscrollsonline.com. And if you have screenshots, videos, gifs, or art to go along with the story, all the better (though not required.) Please submit your stories by 10pm ET on Oct. 24.

What if our One Tamriel stories are all about lag, crashing and encountering hordes of bugs?

Return to Toothmaul Gully

Late last night, I couldn't sleep. I logged back in to find myself again in Toothmaul Gully where I had been boss hunting earier in the day, searching for the illusive sharpened swords of Queen's Elegance. At that time, the public dungeon had been crowded with people of all different levels. It had been a scramble to try and go from boss to boss fast enough not to miss them getting burned down 5 seconds after respawning. Now the dungeon was empty and I leisurely strolled from boss to boss, using a timer on my phone to try and understand better what the optimal time to wait before killing the next boss was (because if you kill the next one too soon you don't get loot, only gold). After a few minutes, another player showed up. I was level 50 with over 500 champion points. He was level 13. He sent me a group invite, which I accepted. He said we might as well work together, and I agreed. I told him about trying to time the boss kills and that I was looking for a specific drop. He was happy to wait with me to get the timing right and even said if he got the sword he'd gladly give it to me. Soon another player entered, level 30, who also joined our band. Together we farmed bosses for a while, chatting between kills. It was nice feeling kind of like a big brother to these relatively new characters, and we all added each other to our friends lists when our inventories were full and we were about to disband. This was all because of One Tamriel. I think the last time I was in Toothmaul Gully before yesterday was over a year ago, but having desirable gear pieces dropping in various world locations gives relevance even to this, the very first public dungeon I'd ever done when I started ESO so long ago. Enjoying the content with players of all different levels just makes it even richer. Thank you ZOS for One Tamriel! Keep up the good work.

P.S. I was still there this morning and the first 2 boss drops were a sharpened sword and sharpened axe of Queen's Elegance.

A Typical Day In Cyrodiil

I left the keep, thinking I would head over and check out the dolmen and try to get some new gear.

I died instantly to velidreth/viper/widowmaker/tremorscale from a hidden nightblade. Cue in the obligatory 'dancing on my ashes' by the super skilled player running no less than three stacked damage proc sets.

Repeat this experience 20 times before my One Tamriel Adventure ended with a cancelled subscription. Someone's playing a game somewhere, but it isn't me.

Congrats. This is the One Tamriel you've built. My guess is, I won't be in your article.

Once upon a time....

I tried dueling using a magic character but due to meta if I do not break free in a micro second I totally die and breaking free is impossible because no one has any idea how to fix the lag so I'm stuck wanting to play magic but I can't because meta and now I'm forced to duel with my stamina dk which is cool and all because I win a lot but I want to play my sorc but I can't because meta plus lag equals to unfair advantage and that is all....

The end...

OneTamriel is awesome. No specific stories but I'm just loving how busy all the early zones are. I'm a completionist so spent months in each one already and it's just ace to go back and revisit.

Loving the new fun sets!! Before I only had time to find sets that helped both PvE and PvP now with the huge selection I can play with this set or that for fun, enjoying the cool effects. Thus I personally am quite happy with a bad trait monster helm over getting no drop, as I can test those sets / use on Alts, and if I have to OCD a perfect trait I can always see the Golden. Great work on sets!!

Watched a few duals, on rocky outcrops also cool!

The first thing I did was reunite poor Atqoo with his lost Guar family. I've been ignoring that quest marker for a year and always felt bad about it. But finally hooked him up.

LASTLY @ZOS_JessicaFolsom it amazes me how many people that hate the game spend their time on this forum, and bother to post on threads, in particular positive ones like this. It's a great update, its revitalised the game so well done. People can leave if they like!

Went to Cyrodiil, got rekt by terrible players all wearing proc sets. The End.

Not as good as Lord of the Rings but it's a true story.

I don't have good stories too. We went to Craglorn - my friend was really eager to do some new quests he couldn't do before. But our trip ended before a group delve with the main quest, where we couldn't kill the last boss with 300cps and 180 cps full geared - we got hits for 20k dmg, so we needed a group, so it felt like a lie - solo Craglorn.
I do like One Tamriel otherwise, only the fear of my friend, that it will not be solo friendly anymore, was confirmed, sadly it was the reason why he started to play ESO together with the rich story quests.

so only positive stories should be shown then?

personally i have played this since release on ps4, supported the game, both vocally and with subscription, this last update has ruined the enjoyment of the game for me, hate is strong word, wouldnt say i hate it, i dislike it, is more appropriate, will i revisit to see what the next dlc is like? more than likely, once skyrim drops that will be my main game till then, am i not allowed to express that?

Believe me I tried,this hint is wrong.

I hear you @craftycarper73 but This thread is about gathering 'great stories' and about adventuring more easily together, clearly about sharing positive experiences.

Forums are fine to discuss all views, but on a thread gathering positive news, some.comments are just a bit moany & negative. And some of the names that have commented have done before on other threads. It's just a game, and this forum is to talk about it. I guess I just don't get why people that don't enjoy the game A) still play it and come to a fan forum alot to read about it and C) post negative views on a thread about collating good news stories

But I dont want to derail the thread. I love OneT. On paper I didn't, I didn't get it, reading how the sets were spread in all zones, a reason to go to all zones I started to get it more, then in practice, playing it I really get it. All zones have a breath of life into them and everyone I know is buzzing both for Witches event Skull Pokémon and exploring content that was otherwise dead. It's awesome.

Sorry that its not worked out for you, hopefully you will fine a way round still enjoying it if you want to.

I have not had chance to experience it properly because the launcher wants to download 30 gigs. can someone please help me out with this, because I am sure the update is not 30 gigs.

My guild, Priests of Hircine, has always been a multi alliance one, from the day it was founded on the 16th August 2015. It is a werewolf guild for players who believe in giving werewolf bites for free. All of our meetups and events have either had to take place separately in each alliance, or within the battle zone of Cyrodiil in order to see each other at once.

Not only that, but giving our bites was tedious between the alliances. So many times where an AD player needed a bite but only EP guild members were online. Many of us created alts just to be able to give free bites to people who asked in other factions...

When One Tamriel was announced, I knew it would be awesome for our guild. No longer would we be forced to the depths of Cyrodiil to have our peaceful meetups. No longer would we have to define bites by EP, DC and AD. Many things would be made easy for us.

And so One Tamriel hit. We had our first meetup for it on the 15th October. And it was great fun! All that we had imagined.
Here is a video of the meetup:

https://youtu.be/CLDoOIqo3JI

We now hope to be much more social with One Tamriel and also give many more free bites. We should reach 2000 total recorded ones very soon!

Here's a story for you.....my bow-wielding lowlevel that was really fun to play.....isnt fun anymore

It's just a game you either enjoy it or you don't. Personally I haven't been in Cyrodiil much, too busy farming sets. I have done a couple duel events with my guild, pretty casual like. The first one we had some serious dueler show up trying to challenge members. The person would tea bag the losers of other duels. Then they started talking trash before eventually leaving. I know they managed to *** off a couple of my fellow guildies, but in the end you can't let those kinds of players get to you. The next event we went to a high bridge in Orsinium and had a blast knocking each other off the edge.

One of the goals of One Tamriel is for players of all levels to play together. So I was in the East March public dungeon, grinding bosses for set drops. A player on the quest wanted to group. I led them through the bosses, group event, and sky shard. I helped them finish off the quest bosses. We got back to the beginning missing only one boss. (I'll admit to googling the location of the last one.) Since their bag was full, I suggested we take a break to go back into town. After that we return and finished off the final boss for the achievement. They added me as a friend after that.

When I'm not busy, I try to answer crafting requests when I can. I sold off all my CP10 - CP80 mats, so when someone ask for a set for a friend who just hit level 50, I went with ebon mats. I was told they were super stoked with the gear. Yestereday, I had a lvl 8 guildmate ask for training armour. When I pressed for more details, I got that they were a magicka templar and wanting medium armor with a one hand steel sword. So I took a guess, they were a new player. I decided, on my recommendation, that I'd craft everything seducer, all three armor weights, mostly light, green and with enchants. Also, I made them a restro staff, destro staff, and a pair of swords. That way they could train all the relavent gear lines, keep the set bonus even as they replace some slots with drop sets, and hopefully they'll come back for advice when they get a little farther into the game. It was my good deed for the day.

My group, and I, were exploring the Imperial city and searching for tel-var-stones when we stumbled upon a rogue Ebonheart Pact argonian. He saw the great number of us, and surrendered. Taking pity on him, we agreed that we would keep him alive if he assisted us in finding tel-var-stones, which he did. Once we began our search, the argonian attempted to slip away, and return to the E.P. sewer base. We knew that he kept some of the tel-var-stones that we earned from terminating daedra, and we weren't letting him slip away equivalent to the lizard that he was. We eventually chased him down and killed him. We all obtained a share of his tel-var-stones, and I gladly bought a new pair of boots at the sewer base. In conclusion, the moral of this story is, if you ever spot a soldier from an enemy alliance in the Imperial city, kill them where they stand. They may possess a large quantity of goodies.

Due to going to Wrothgar and getting into PvP more at the time, I leveled my VR up above the silver quests, so that the exp was underwhelming compared to the gold areas. I skipped them, thinking it would be more satisfying to do gold and revisit silver some other day. Now I can go back to doing them in order, and silver is no longer a exp/loot disappointment due to the new scaling. This is almost as awesome as dark deal

I began taking an alternate route to the Undaunted Enclave in Laghold, to look at moving scenery instead of the loading picture or the ninja convention. I found 4 Rubedite nodes, a chest with a set piece, and one Ancestor Silk without even deviating from my route. Taking the scenic route has practical reasons again, and I'm enjoying traveling through territory I used to wayshrine right over last week. (PS4)

The scaling, new dungeon set up, new gear drops, and dueling have all been a massive improvement for me, renewing my interest in the game in a number of ways. Time flies when you kill a world boss, rush over to a dolmen & get that, go do a public dungeon, que into activity finder during all of this, and actually get into specific dungeons because of all the monster head/gear farming. I feel like I am earning more gear, exp, and accomplishing more with my playing time now.

I won't be in Cyrodiil much until I get my gear together, but I'm excited to try new builds there, too.
