Hers shouldn't count. I'm pretty sure that like 75% of it is just fishing

Not to mention, it's worth noting when that players account was activated

Hmm, true. I've been playing since launch day (I pre-ordered, but it was the physical special edition version, so I couldn't get it from the store early and I didn't end up playing the 3-day early access pre-order bonus).

Still haven't gotten my act together to add up my character (minus a couple of deletes).. So far the first three were like 10-14 days each. Some of the later ones (of the 16) ought to be much shorter.

Been looking at the reports of greifers sitting outside IC access.

Something should be done ... and all that.

So the reason I'm even considering it, is because my group o' 3 in IP that I've mentioned (probably far too many times) in IC just had a really nice experience the other evening. There is a particularly unpleasant blueberry who haunts the IC and ganks. He's a sorc and he's good and he comes after you over and over and over ... at that point no AP... no stones (ha. Like I have many anywa - but that's not the issue). And he's really good, and relentless and I can't even express how ... mean.

So, we have fought him before and died a lot and tried to find other places to go (and do writs) and so on.

The other night, we really sat down and thought 'Okay, what can we do? How can we synergize? What can we make work?' and it took some doing ... but he ran away from us. More than once. No we didn't kill him (that's a goal, trust me!). But he RAN away!!!

A couple other folks in the sewer jumped in when they figured out what we were doing. So apparently he's done an effective job of ... spreading ill will.

The total "high" we got from finally getting this jerk to run away (and really at that point killing him became much less important), made the game experience so much more fun - experiencing the size of that black cloud of "their is nothing I can do - I'm gonna die here - again" being taken away was amazing.

And then hearing about these .... players in Cyrodiil who are doing the same thing to someone else. Makes me want to set up some sort of cross-faction time to deliberately fight for sewer access for anyone (especially lowbies) who wants it. Like such-and-so days and times.

No clue how to do it - and no real time.... but I'm thinking.

Good job, Newt!
The other night on our campaign Red had both Roe and Alessia forcing a ride to the entrance from Fare. They were camping the sewer gate and also had ganking groups on the main riding line between Fare and the sewer.
What we did was get a few people together and started running "sewer entrance trains". We'd gather up a bunch of people in zone to ride together and killed every Red we could find along the way and at the entrance. Then we went back and did it again. After a bit we got Alessia back and they gave up.

Might try something like that

For once a thread that I totally agree with......

I am really missing our trials nights, they were such good fun but who the hell wants VR14 or even VR13 gear!?!

Thanks for pointing out that thread @Xendyn - from the title I feared it was another rage one, when in fact it gave me the warm fuzzies.

Now... let me go back to lurking

Good times.

I keep seeing this comment in your posts.

Have to ask: Have you seen 'Losers' the movie?

UrQuan wrote: »

I don't remember, did they say that in the movie? To be honest, it's something I've been saying for probably over 20 years - depending on the context sometimes I mean it sarcastically and sometimes very genuinely

Yes; several times but the one that keeps popping up in my head (and I'm mangling the quote, but attempting to keep the essence) is:

<trying to sound suave> "So what hobbies did you have as a child?"

<clearly not impressed> "I collected human ears."

<trying to say something as he crashes and burns> "Good times."

So I hit a milestone of sorts the other night. All of the 8 characters on my main account are now vet rank! Yay! Now no matter which one I play I'm earning champion points!

Now, do I work on getting the characters on my second account to vet rank (they range from level 16 to level 30 right now), or do I work on completing Coldharbour (and the main quest) on the 4 characters on my main account who are only partway through it? Hmm, decisions...

Also, I led a group of guildies through part of Imperial City the other night, and we went and did the Arena district quest for them (I had already done it). As I consider that the hardest of the IC PVE quests to do solo, I was quite pleased that we were able to get it done for 5 or 6 folks who hadn't yet done it. We even took pity on a lone enemy player who was clearly just trying to get to the district's trophy vault, and didn't gang up on him and slaughter him. Good times.

I wish I could say the same... My Main reached VR 14 since I got upgraded XP point wise because of the IC update. And then they raised level cap to VR16... Did I tell you that I play since launch day XD

Also my only other char that comes close to getting to VR1 is my Sorcerer Argonian. Not sure when that one will (if ever) reach level cap

Ah back to the EP sewers where all the NPCs have earned nicknames.

The adequate banker. ... who will probably keep my things safe.

The crabby merchant. .... who doesn't want to be asked (yet again) about rat poison.

And of course... scruffy cat.

Was out "finding" things the other day.

You'll never guess how I found this <snicker>



"found" another one this morning. I don't think they work very well.....

Well... Maybe he had more valuable things on him but your sticky fingers stuck to that first.

So...anyone want to put money on how many NA server threads we'll get?
Up to 6 so far.

I keep linking https://downdetector.com/status/level3

Hmm we have a hurricane coming in too. Let's make this a weekend count.

I'll say 20 by midnight Sunday EST

My fingers are not sticky.

And anyway it sold for something like 100 gold. So that was just fine by me. I didn't mind passing up the vial of Surly Syrah wine for it.

I need some help. I have tried to work on this filk for far too long.....

(with apologies to Kenny Rodgers)

You've got to know when to Tank 'em
And when to gank 'em
You've got to know when to Bolt Escape
And when to Stealth

You never count your Telvars
While your still inside the sewers
'Cause until its with the Banker
Can't assume that it's your wealth

You've done pretty well with it
The rythym is a little off on the first part, not enough Knows

You've got to know when to tank 'em
Know when to gank 'em
Know when to bolt escape
and know when to stealth

now, you gonna do a vid for us and sing it?
