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

    My moment was looking at the gamepad layout and marveling that anyone is able to play the game that way. Jump and interact share the same button!? That has got to lead to a lot of problems. Synergy looks horrific. Why is "cycle through quests" one of the main, single-press buttons!? Absolutely bizarre.

    I, too, looked for the pick in my inventory the first time I accidentally dug up some ore. At level 1. And I found it in the quest tab of my inventory. Couldn't figure out how to equip the damned thing. That led to all sorts of confusion later on.

    When I FINALLY figured out how to use different items I had quick-slotted. The heavens opened up and the sound of a thousand angels singing filled the air.

    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.. :#

    @psxfloh Wait... what? Please do tell!

    Hold D-pad down and move the right thumbstick up or down to zoom in or out

    Thanks :)

    idk how I missed that one.

    Does anyone else (on console) have trouble weaponswapping using the default Template A layout? My issue is always that you have to stop what you're doing to change it. Lately I've been using Template C where weapon swapping is using the Triangle (on PS4) but that has its own issues like lag causing me to suddenly toggle off Bound Aegis -___-
    Or else lag takes so long to swap the weapon that since you've got to hold down the Triangle that you end up swapping back to the original bar. Annoying.

    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.
    OMG SIR YOU FINALLY OPENED MY EYES!

    Seriously, I have been playing the game since release and didn't know this. Sometimes healed through, sometimes one player died and the group dealt with it. I had really given it up to understand this mechanic because no one really cared about it. Now it all makes sense :smiley:

    Not since I splurged for a scuf, now left dpad is mapped to my left paddle. Literally a game changer for me. Before I would jump so I could weapon swap without stopping.

    For me it was researching traits and finding out you can just make the crafted sets, no extra materials required.
    I was SOOOO happy

    Good to hear - I looked at Scuf a couple months ago; this is one of the questions I had about it.
    Worth getting then. :)

    Believe me but I didn't care about magicka or stamina builds until beginning of 2016. I simply didn't know any mechanics of the game and enjoyed it anyways...until I realised I how important the distinction was :D
