What was your "On, so that's how it works!" moment in ESO?

Draqone · March 2017

For me it was surely finding out that maximum stamina increases my Stamina abilities damage and my maxiumum magicka increases my Magicka abilities damage.

What about you?

DRXHarbinger · March 2017

You mean oh not on.

Finding out on cradle of shadows. Velidreth catacombs. Put a way point in the middle of thr room and the compass will always direct you to an exit.

Or stone Atro shrapnel phase. Just stand still. Simple. Move and get hit. How did it take so long for that to get figured out.

Two moments:

The moment I realised the difference between stuns, knockbacks snares and roots and how to counter/get out of them.
&
The moment I found out that you are revealed by stealth potions without any indication, i.e. without your "Hidden" eye opening.

Now that Veli tip is handy. When I do CoS I check for how many templars we have. Normally I run with one other templar so we can purge off the snares during the catacomb run.

Realizing how simple a lot of "scary" dungeon bosses are when all you have to do is block the heavy attacks, heal through the normal attacks, and dodge the specials. Of course the newer Bosses have crazy mechanics, but I'm talking about ones that are like the bosses in Fungal 1.

That one last time I joined a PUG pledge run as a DD . Tank was using 2h and Bow . My whole life was a lie .

Rev Rielle · March 2017

For me it was learning to actually watch the enemy during battle. When my character should be blocking, interrupting and dodging became immensely more simple then.

mocap · March 2017

This maybe a joke, but seriously - when i get rid of first-person view, my dps increased by a lot )

Huyen · March 2017

The moment where I finally understood how Pledges worked. Made my life a lot more fun in-game with a full monster-set.

mariskaas · March 2017

When I first joined a trading guild but didn't know to press R to get stuff to show up x)

Asmael · March 2017

How weapon enchants actually work.

Been using vMA daggers for so long that I actually never really bothered figuring out their exact mechanics and what proc'd them. It was like "wait, what? How come i'm getting those results?"

Another one is "wait, Major Fracture doesn't work when using Rending Slashes!". Welp, it's just that bleeding ignores armor, didn't know that until something like 2 months ago, 'cause the change happened during 1.6 (when I started playing).

Never stop learnin'

Illurian · March 2017

This might sound silly... But wayshrine cost mechanics.

I never pay to teleport, and with homestead apparently teleporting to your home makes the system count as if you paid to teleport (same animation as well) and I noticed that when I hovered over my mouse over the wayshrines after teleporting home, they had a high but decreasing cost to use. I thought it was bugged until my friend told me that that's just how the cost for teleporting works.

Duiwel · March 2017

First time I did an animation cancel and saw the extra damage indicator...

psxfloh · March 2017

How to zoom further away with my gamepad (and not via "settings") on PS4.
Suddenly I was able to see red circles and enemies creeping up from behind..

AnviOfVai · March 2017

Realizing in PVP *roll dodge* is a matter of life and death

Edegas · March 2017

Leveling a 2nd char, while main was cp220-230.

When i pressed = i had an epiphany.

paulsimonps · March 2017

When I first learned that the first ghost boss of vaults of madness deals more damage with his beam based on the damage he takes, so if you stop DPS'ing him or wait with attacking him until after then no one gets beamed to cinders.

Rohamad_Ali · March 2017

Probably the day I installed sky shard add-on because I never used an addon before . Now I can't live without them . I would still be wandering in circles looking for stuff .

Narvuntien · March 2017

Today I realised i couldn't have both a food and a drink buff on at the same time...

I have been playing this game since October.

no your life was fine, it was the TANK that was living the lie! Lol Wait til you see a "healer" doing the same thing. It blew my mind the first time. It drives me crazy seeing it now

menedhyn · March 2017

When I tried to play purely as a melee-focused build because my character had a deep distrust of spell-casters, and I kept getting my backside kicked when faced with multiple enemies.

Biro123 · March 2017

I think it was when I realised what Veteran Ranks where.. after pugging my first dungeon at around level 12 and being a bit worried about that level 2 guy who joined saying he could tank it. Turns out he was VR 2.. I didn't have a clue..

Tyrion87 · March 2017

When I realized how the overload and its third bar works. Back then when I was a really young sorc, after activating overload I was always like: "wth, why did all my abilities disappear from the bar?!"

Had one tank with one sword, no shield or second weapon, he was level 49.

That's silly, but... when I find out how to bash. I've was using both buttons of mouse in one moment since then. Nah.

A few comments have been removed from the thread as they were either against the T.O.S. or our Community Rules. We would ask that in the future you would remember to follow both.

CardboardedBox · March 2017

When I figured out I could turn on some number displays that actually allowed me to see how much damage I was doing -_-

@ZOS_JohanaB you got me really excited that a dev had posted their "Oh, so that's how it works" moment in here.

I fully expect a reply or edit from yourself to rectify this disappointment.

bowmanz607 · March 2017

Back pre-cp and the opening months, staves light and heavy attacks scaled off of weapon damage and weapon critical while the spells scaled off of smell critical and spell damage. I did not know that for the longest time. That was one ah ha moment.

The other is when I learned about weaving/animation cancelling. Didn't know thishe until vet 5. Never played an mmo before, so it was not something I was familiar with. Now I don't know how I ever played without it

Also just make the healer gobble up all the orbs and purge them all away, easy mode Veli.

Well since you asked, when I first started, similarly mentioned above, once i found out how to switch between first and third person i was pretty happy to say the least because, i would switch between them by accident, not realizing it was as simple as scrolling.
