Good grief, why not just add a roller on the bottom of your keyboard and turn it into a 102 button mouse?

✭I have one great recommendation for consoles. Get out of PC/MAC area.
This is the worse thought out way of doing things I have ever seen.

✭✭✭✭✭I'm PC
..and I got the PS4 version. I go where I want - muahahaha. Hah, sorry guys, I'm just bugging. Everywhere.. except Xbox. I can't handle the controller size.
Console thoughts eh? Well, seems a bit more difficult for me (normally PC), just having a hard time aiming (looking around) while in battle and attacking at the same time, but it's getting better.
Took me forever to figure out how to mount my Senche though. Oh, but using your trigger to hop to the next heading in your inventory? That's pretty slick.
Personally, other than the big crash, I haven't had issues logging in/being booted. Hopefully everyone else will be able to say the same soon

Think getting done with the Prophet missions and going exploring/crafting has been fun so far.
Getting grouped with clan mates is a plus.

I'm actually excited for folks to enjoy the different aspects of the game. I've been helping someone new to the game on PC and seeing the game again through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time is fun as heck.
Feel free to send me any questions as well. Happy to answer any.0 -
Buster42✭✭It is exciting!

Oh for sure! A girl from my work just started on PS4 last night, I was so stoked, explaining the races and stuff to her, even sent her over a couple different crafted sets of gears (should last her until level 35), potions, food, and money for her first horse Oh, and of course explaining how to get to the started islands.
Has anyone picked up any PS4/Xbox trophies yet?!? I'm wondering what the nameless onces are

Agreed. The world is huge. Bigger than any other MMORPG that I am aware of (except EVE, that is just massive).
If you really want a challenge, play naked with one weapon or just your spells. Seriously. It's like turning up the difficulty. Plus it's funny (imo).0 -

HEY! I just realized something. I haven't seen any console comments about dyes. Did you guys know you can dye your armor? At dye stations? And some achievements unlock new dye colors?
I saw it on the Trophy list, and I think I may have sold some unknowingly. But that looks fun.
I won't waste good dye on the homespun burlap rags I'm wearing now though.
I'll probably spend most of this weekend working on my crafting skills.PS4 NA0 -
Grunim✭✭✭✭✭Heyas, ESO PC player who is new to consoles also playing on XB1. I've managed to play during the daytime when queues aren't a problem.
Being new to controllers, I'm seriously clunky with proper aiming. Also, dodge rolling in the direction I want to seems much harder for me than it is on a PC. On the PC, I just do a very fast double tap of the w a s or d key and I've dodged out of the way while having my other hand free to use the mouse for other things. On the console, I have to use the left stick, then press left trigger (both with my left hand) and then press A with my right hand. Both hands are busy and I just don't have the muscle memory down pat to do this adeptly.
Still, I managed to defeat a couple of Vet 3 skull bosses solo yesterday on my Vet 4 sorc with just one death. I probably would have no deaths on the PC doing the same thing, but it's going to take time to adjust to this controller.
Overall, been having a lot of fun playing and watching others play who are new to ESO.Am a whimsical Generation Jones gamer. Online RPGs hooked me since '94 and no sign of stopping soon...0 -

No no, dyes are not one time use! Once you unlock a dye it will be forever available for all your characters to use.. as much as you want
As well, I meant the console trophies. Trophy items in game are different, "use" them to see what they do. Some are kinda useless, some are funny, and some are cool (turn you into a skeleton).Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord0 -

Its Xbox ....... and ........ PS4
You know because its two very separate systems with two very separate games.
Separate Hardware
Separate Online Service
Seperate Servers
Seperate Errors/Issues (one they share were/are on PC as well)
All the PC players keep saying do a PC and Console forum area but you forget there would be the same issue in the Console thread because there is two completely different systems at play.

Generally speaking console players are better gamers, have a better social life and are better people overall.
