[Morning Coffee] The Black Horse Courier - Speculative Edition

Winchester1306 · February 2017

Good morning folks!

*Walks in and starts up the fire. Fills the dented metal kettle with water and places it to hang over the flames.*

How is everyone doing today? I am doing well - woke up to a lovely overcast, rainy day here in South Africa. Whenever it is rainy and overcast it always makes me think and long for Elder Scrolls - rainy days in Tamriel are the best.

Let's indulge in some speculation. What hidden/unannounced features do you think might still come to light in the coming months leading up to Morrowind? Do you think there will be a weapon skill line added (I certainly hope so), or what other features are you secretly praying for?

*Grabs a cup and settles in while the water in the kettle begins to boil*

*Grabs cup and sits near the fire.*

Well, I'm not very one of speculation, but that thing of one handed and rune seems... very interesting. If it's true, can only hope there is variety of spells.

On about skill lines that I'm praying for... I really want spears to make it into the game one day, and an unarmed skill line would be amazing too.

Khajiit thinks it will smell unpleasantly of elves yes.

Unless there is a nice khajiit friendly trading outpost somewhere perhaps where the sugar is sweet and the only vvardvarks are fried in batter and served with roasted ash yams?

Other things this traveller she hopes to find. New and interesting fish perhaps yes? An improved permission system for the houses (the ability to admit all and to set a secondary residence and perhaps even a third for people to travel to?) More guild traders perhaps to ease the very tight squeeze on the current system?

Yours with paws

As a magicka user I would like to see one hand and rune become something real. I would like to have access to two weapons without swords again to gain more sets.

Sadly I don't really know what else I can think of for this, I haven't had my morning coffee yet so that's probably not helping.

cjhhickman39 · February 2017

From reading about the warden this may be where they try and tie more skills to health. It seems all skill line have shields and it just makes me think of bone sheild

Cadbury · February 2017

*Begins toasting s'mores by the fire*

I want to believe that someday, they'll add an unarmed skill line.

kenneth.friisb16_ESO · February 2017

Unfortunately I was out of coffee, so I had to settle for a cup of tea this morning, Earl Grey if anyone's interested

As far as speculation goes, I hope there's gonna be more than one weapon skill line for example a spear or maybe a single one handed weapon skill line, but alas that might be too much to hope for.

But I am excited for skills that don't just affect us passively

Winchester1306 · February 2017

I am also really hoping for a one-handed sword and a rune skill line. I found it quite frustrating when I discovered that I cannot equip a one-handed sword without having to use a shield or another sword in the other hand. This should be a very interesting skill line if it is true (I am praying it is) - adding more active skills to the game is always a good thing after such a long time of only getting passive skill lines.

The local gaming store finally opened pre-orders for the Physical Collector's Edition yesterday, as soon as it came online I placed my pre-order and paid the amount in full. So now I am just waiting for June 6th.

Amazing! So lucky. I'm still waiting for mine to do so. It seems its gonna be hard to get the Physical CE here in Spain... I had to pre order the ESO Physical CE in Gamestop UK because nothing here

Guess its time to do the same this time, and order it from another country lol.

Winchester1306 · February 2017

I was about to do the same. Since the Physical Collector's Edition sold out on Amazon just when I wanted to order it, and the gaming store could not give me an answer if they will have it or not. So when it came back in stock on Amazon I placed my pre-order, but it would be 1000k more expensive in my currency (ZAR). Luckily with Amazon you don't pay until it ships, so I was able to cancel it and place my order on the local store's website instead.

But yes you should definitely get it! The Elder Scrolls Collector's Editions are always worth it. And as I am sure you know, the Emperor's Revised Guide to Tamriel in the original Collector' Edition was just amazing.

ZunaRoath · February 2017

They are! I got my Molag Bal statue next to my computer and it's so amazing my real life cats also love it and sit besides it haha. The book is also so damn amazing- Well, all of the Collector's Edition!

On about the skills... I still really hope we can get something about frost damage... I know... the tree for the Warden, but it seems more for tanking than anything. My frost mage was supposed to be a DPS xD

Winchester1306 · February 2017

Well, that is really the great thing about Elder Scrolls Online though. Despite that tree kind of being aimed towards Tanking, you can still grab a Frost Destruction Staff and throw on some Light Armour and be an Ice Mage. That is the thing I love the most about this MMO, is being able to build your character the way you would like opposed to being forced into a mould.

ZunaRoath · February 2017

True, but it wouldn't be easy to achieve nice dps with a frost mage most likely. I'm not playing with destro staff too much, but I guess there is a reason why people play with fire and shock staves =D

Watches the kettle boil while watching the rain come down on the tip of Africa and gets online to place order for his own collectors edition. Thanks for that info @Winchester1306 - wonders if might have run into you online :>

gary.mcleodeb17_ESO · February 2017

Nearly midday here on the English Welsh border UK, I don't know much about Morrowind, only what friends have told me, and I throughly enjoyed watching the Morrowwind trailer, (digression) in fact I continue to watch all TESO trailers with a sense of awe and some parts really make the hairs on my arms stand up to this very day! I admit I found it difficult to watch the end fight between the Breton and Nord, but the compassion shown by the High Elven warrior (My fave character in those trailers, her display of intelligence, magic and martial skills, bravery and beauty are beyond compare for me)

On the subject of trailers, I actually watched the trailer for Skyrim yesterday for probably the 1000th time. The music, the intro/talkover is just out of this world! (well I guess it is really!, but you know what I mean!)

Back on track, I'll make a Warden character, it looks interesting and I've yet to think of a story for her character, well, that much I do know, is that my Warden will definitely be a 'she'.

Aeropress user here, 3rd cup gone, time to potter about in the garden, then will make another grind (hand held grinder), brew it up, press down, way to go, back for some PvP probably.

Have a great game all.

AnviOfVai · February 2017

At work, had my first cup of tea, Can't drink coffee it makes me twitchy and messes up my raynaulds in my hands so, having a slow day making animations. Any who last night bought the new PS4 mag 4 pages of information on Morrowind...Unfortunately I did not have time to read it...Plan to read it when I get home tonight, Fiber is being installed in the house as we speak, which means after 5 years I will finally be able to hit over 1 mbps speed. Lets hope we get the 30mbs we were promised! Looking forward to the update on PS4 tonight too, will try to get that down.

Any new information I read in the book I will upload here

I am more interested in Morrowind than I was before after looking a bit more in depth about the *expansion* It does indeed look packed full of stuff, and with the new class I am thoroughly excited.

SydneyGrey · February 2017

*Makes coffee, pours cream in it (but no sugar)*

This American is expecting new houses in Dark Elf Land. Also, I can't wait to see the new warden class, although I probably won't play it for a good long time, since I'm pretty attached to my Breton sorceror.

A fellow South African then? Pleased to make your acquintance! Haha, did you also place your order with BT Games now? Feel free to add me in game @Winchester1306 (Anyone else can do so as well). Then perphaps out paths might cross in Tamriel!

Please do! Any information in the magazine will be much appreciated! I am so stoked for this Chapter and any and all information on it is welcomed

trav2609rwb17_ESO · February 2017

This one almost completed order but seems like something on the BT page not liking this one so stalking instore to make sure the order gets placed - mainly for the map out of all the goodies :> Soon to escape out into the rain and do some hunting. Will hit you up later and check if we not already in same guild *quiet chuckle*

Turelus · February 2017

As an update it's 12:30 here, I just finished my lunch and I am only now having my first coffee.

Winchester1306 · February 2017

@trav2609rwb17_ESO I am hoping they will be able to assist you in store! Their website is shaky at the best of times lol. Not too sure how soon the CE will sell out in South Africa (If at all), but not willing to take any chances. Perhaps we are in the same guild already

I like the use of the word 'First' coffee - my kind of a day to know there will be more than one! *Highfives*

Pendrillion · February 2017

Dunmer upstart Noble from Switzerland here... Its raining outside here in the heart of Europe as well, and I am about to brew my first cup of coffee as well...

I hope they improve on housing. What irks me the most is that we cannot give full access to our houses for spouses (that awkwardly rhymed). That would be a big improvement. Also access through the main door in the world would be brilliant as well. It kind of is strange having all those people port in instead of using the door. But I might be old fashioned.

Other than that I am totally looking forward to experience all the new and old elements of Vvardenfell...

Three blessings!

Stealth_Box · February 2017

Hello there! Raining in good old midday Wales.

Newbie to the entire game here. Bought ESO: Gold Edition after being convinced it was something good to try after feeling a bit empty from playing WoW. Unfortunately, looking to get a new PC setup first before I can confidently play. However, I haven't felt disappointed so far with all the stuff that was shown.

Looking really interested in the general PvE content and (hopefully) an RP community in AD. Wanting to give an Altmer Nightblade a try as they seem the most attractive! How is it from the actual side?

How do you do, good sir night, always nice to meet fellow South Africans from ESO.
I don't have much to speculate about, since I've learned in ESO the more you want something , the less likely you'll be getting it!
Over time I've learned to accept the updates/upgrades for what they are and just L2P the changes and hope to complete the set farming before it changes again.
Examples I can think of is we asked over and over for storage. Then ZOS is kind enough to better our request and announces housing.
Yeah I thought, finally I have place for my (11 characters x 190 used bag spaces + 215 used bank spaces= 2305 set gear items).
Got my hopes to the point where I believed we'll get a chest that can hold some 10k items.
BUT like the sound a dark anchor makes upon hitting the ground, ZOS hit my dreams with the NO STORAGE announcement. Yeah like an enraged mantikora they just trampled my hopes.
So I really did not follow any further on any developments for Morrowind.
Still very excited for new class and new ICE builds, its going to be a SORC PET FEST in towns all across Tamriel. oooo I just can not wait any more.

Enjoy ESO.

Welcome "Boxie" @Stealth_Box . . . just need to clear this up: "Being convinced" to take on Elder Scrolls Online is my fault

Welcome to the forums. Hopefully you will get your new PC setup pretty soon so you can jump into Tamriel.

And the like to you! Pleasure to meet you - feel free to add me in-game. And yeah that is true, however it may appear that ZOS is not listening to their community - they are a lot more open and upfront about a lot of things than most gaming companies. And so far I feel that they are making changes for the better of the game - it does feel A LOT better than when it launched. So far I haven't felt too disappointed by them - but to each their own!

Yes, I know what you mean, sometimes our own greed and/or need blinds us to the bigger pic the developers have in mind. This picture becomes clear when the dust settles.
We'll get our storage eventually, just like we'll get the necromancer someday. I even believe we'll see the shivering isles someday. I'm to addicted to ESO to just switch off and do something else until ZOS gives me what I want, NOPE I just play on through all the updates and upgrades.
Until we meet again

Derzelas · February 2017

Hello, here from the inner city of Australia waiting for the console homestead update to drop. Although rather than having a morning coffee it is an evening coffee made from the average 'instant' coffee money can buy.

This argonian is looking forward to the chapter of Morrowwind and expects that One Handed Runes will be added which is predicted by most on this discussion. Would love to see the other schools of magic be added as weapon lines such as Mysticism, Conjuration, Alteration and Illusion Staves to fill in the slots next to Restoration and Destruction Staves. It would also be a great addition to add a new profession of some sort as I love the idea of Fishing as a possible profession. Although this maybe a far cry prediction, this argonian will continue to travel the plains of Tamriel to look for fishing holes to catch fish from.

Back to my coffee in a hopes that everyone here will enjoy their time in Tamriel. I shall look forward to making a swamp as my private adobe (or try to anyways).

ThePaulrus94 · February 2017

Hello, from the Midwest Region of the United States this one is. As I'm drinking my good ol' Folgers this morning, I was really thinking how I should make a go for the Master Fisher achievement. It'd take a long while, but itd be a labor of love.

Then, I saw this thread and now I'm thinking a fishing skill line could be pretty cool and/or other skill lines that are a bit more non combat based. Not sure how it'd be implemented and I'm also certain it'd be quite low on the to-do list but I just love fishing in game and IRL.

Back to the coffee. Safe travels!

Winchester1306 · February 2017

@ThePaulrus94 Excuse my ignorance, but what is required for the Master Fishing achievement? Only recently started fishing in Elder Scrolls Online, been enjoying Blacksmithing and Tailoring too much.

This would legitimately be so awesome! Since Destruction Staves have three variances (Fire, Shock and Frost) I cannot see why it won't be entirely possible to add multiple variances for the theorised One Handed + Rune skill line: One Handed + Illusion; One Handed + Conjuration; One Handed + Alteration etc. This would really be epic (well, above and beyond the One Handed + Rune skill line we are rumoured to be getting).

ThePaulrus94 · February 2017

@Winchester1306 To get the achievement you have to complete all the sub achievements which mainly consists of catching rare fish all across Tamriel and Coldharbour. In the game, there are four different water types. Different baits are best suited for certain water types. It seems relatively straight forward but highly time consuming to collect the bait and wait for the right fish.

Here's a link to a guide that is super helpful: http://teso-guides.com/the-elder-scrolls-online-master-fisher-fishing-guide

My questions is does anyone know if you have to keep all the rare fish you catch to get the achievement or are they stored somewhere else that doesn't take up inventory?
