Quoted for awesomeness...!

Well... The truth is awesome sometimes.

sometimes it's fun to actually get together with some competitive players (I consider myself a decent player, but I'm definitely not a competitive player) and try to go all-out with the best, most efficient run, powering your way through things as quickly as possible.

Only ever done that by accident (LOL); I have a semi-regular "group" I play with, myself, hubby and a couple we know in Colorado. One night just out of happenstance we gathered to run a few Undaunted as we are occasionally wont to do - and by chance the characters we "felt like" playing happened to be a combo of pretty much all DPS-powerhouses; that also (not planned) happened to have skills that very much synergized.

It was the most ridiculously easy plow-through-the-opposition-like-candyfloss night I've ever had. fun. Weird. and overall, I don't think I'd want to do that often.

I'd really like to see the DPS/Timer "wall" removed from most of the dungeons; I think that playing a longer game and lasting out the baddies should be a viable option, and mostly the deck is way stacked against it.

It's funny, I can burn through dungeons with no deaths in minutes if I want to (and after running the dungeons hundreds of times I often do), but some of my favorite runs have been the slowest, most resource burning, and not even completed runs I've ever done. But they were fun.

Oculus Rift:
Anyone have the chance to try this yet?

Debating on preordering one instead of dropping 800 Washington's on a monitor.

Happy Friday all!

Been having a little fun of late with the whole "Templar House" thing on the forums, so I thought I'd share my vision of what my main's house will look like come Monday...



My guess is that by Tuesday, most players will be re-rolling to Templars after seeing the true potential of the "Templar House".

I of course realize that ZOS will be nerfing my house in the first incremental patch because bacon is way too OP

If that's the kind of Templar House I can look forward to, count me in!

Not that I'd be giving up on my Templars anyway...

Not interested at this point. Don't want you to feel ignored here, tho
As a rule, I never buy any new tech (be it pc, car or whatever) until it's proven in actual use, has the bugs worked out and is something I feel I need.

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly how I feel. Just curious if anyone may have had the chance to try one out. They're suppose to be touring around with a demo.

Would hate to drop 800 on a monitor though and the Rift works and functions with better specs as a monitor you wear for 200 less.

While getting into the criminal spirit of the upcoming expansion, I've finished leveling my other profession. Now this Argonian sneak-thief is both a chef and an alchemist. Hopefully she won't mix up the two and produce plates of poison cakes or vials of poultry essence.

Not sure what poultry essence would be but I don't think I want any
The poison cakes tho, she should be perfecting for DB. They've hinted that Snakeblood will actually be useful...

So.... I was sucked into Fallout 4 for the longest time. Then a bit ago, the couple my hubby and I team up with in ESO insisted on an afternoon/evening of undaunted runs, and I got hooked back into Tamriel.

So here is the latest of Goblin Girl (Broken Branch Toothmaul) in action. Last night she met a town of statutes and some very strange bears.





Then I went back to play around with one of the few Imperials I've rolled up (long story short - my husband rolled up an Imperial named Quintus Solaris and I decided he needed a sister).

So here is Hexia Solaris, telling herself to calm down first, and THEN kill the bandits.

In my time.. Ive seen bears do things even a bear wouldn't do!

Excellent! I'm not even close to it yet myself... Of course, it was a bit of a shock Monday night to log on and group up with some guildies for a dungeon only to see that one of them already had that title! Apparently she was busy on launch day!

Congrats, @Xendyn !

I haven't even finished Wrothgar, much less touched much of the thieving stuff.

Also, it's not easy to get a screenshot using a memento now, since you can't put them on quickslot anymore

You can from your inventory menu, click the quickslots tab and there will be all mementos ...

Well, Holy ***
You get to be the Heroine today!

Did we just miss the instructions or did you brilliantly figure this out on your own?
Either way, you get some special gourmet popcorn for that!

After almost 2 years of being mad at myself for not paying attention while typing my forum name...I finally contacted support and asked them to please change wldkarde to WldKarde. I know "big deal" it's the same spelling so who cares right?

Well it just always bugged me since this has been my alter-ego for over 15 years, and since I've enjoyed my time in Tamriel (and these forums) so much over the last 2 years, It was time to put things right! Or at least right in this Knuckleheads mind (if that's even possible)

Talon Karrde would be upset if you didn't take the opportunity capitalize the two words...

I know people love to put ZOS and their Support Team down (thankfully NOT those who frequent this thread , but in less than 24 hours Kathy (thank you so much) made the change and I'm finally "me" for the first time on these forums!

I've found them to be super hit and miss. Sometimes they're great and totally exceed my expectations, sometimes they're terrible. Right when Fallout launched the CS experience took a massive nosedive.

I will say this though: in my experience they've improved in the past 2 months or so. I had a chat with the head of CS a while back about a CS ticket that I was pretty pissed about (not because I was upset about the underlying issue: because the ticket was very badly mishandled) and he told me about some of the processes and stuff that they were working on introducing to improve the CS experience. Recently I've noticed some of the specific things he told me about being introduced, and I think it's a good thing. There are still some issues with the whole CS process that could and should be addressed, but I see good progress in the right direction.

So I'm glad you had a good CS experience, and I'm pretty optimistic that the CS department has turned a corner and is on the way towards being top-notch.

Since you my popcorn loving friends deserve to be warned of this and of my avatar change change first, I'm posting this here. That way you know it's still the same old knucklehead who of course should not be taken seriously

OK, so last order of business...now that cross-faction dungeons are a reality. Who would be willing to help out a poor Knuckle-headed NA EP player at some point??? Anyone want to adopt a knucklehead into their guild of VERY patient players

Well I run a weekly group dungeon event for Lone Wolf Help - we put a fairly heavy focus on being patient... It's really not a "let's power through these dungeons as fast as we can because we're l33t" kind of event, it's more of a "let's take some people through dungeons that they might not otherwise get to do, and help teach them about this and other dungeons, and while we do it let's screw around and socialize a bunch and generally just have fun" kind of event.

So if that sounds like your cup of tea let me know (and let me know your in-game account name) and I'll be happy to fire off an invite to you. You'll find at least a couple of familiar names from the forums in the guild...

What's everyone been up to lately? I see most of your posts out there in "Forum Land" but I've kinda missed keeping up with everyone here.

Signing off for the first time as WldKarde...

The "official and original" ESO Knucklehead.

We've all been not spending enough time in this thread clearly...

Thanks @newtinmpls

Feels good to finally be me on these forums

Hope the trip home is a safe one & have a great weekend!

I'll be spending the next (oh my gawd I don't even want to count) weekends moving as I just bought a new house. Happy for the new home...sad for all of the ESO goodness to be lost during the move.

On the plus side, I'll soon be able to kick back between sessions and sit out on my back deck and look out onto the beautiful Columbia river I love the Pacific Northwest!
