[Morning Coffee] The Black Horse Courier - Wild Edition

Winchester1306 · March 2017

Good Morning!

How is everyone doing?

So, the new Wild Hunt crates went live yesterday - and boy could they not have come at a better time. Since I am on the Warden/Druid hype train like you won't believe, I jumped on them so fast. I first wanted to buy 30 crates but decided to first try 15 and see if anything worthwhile drops. Luckily I did - as RNGesus was with me and I received two Wild Hunt mounts (The Horse and The Bear), the Dark Wolf Mount, a few cool costumes and trinkets, and received enough Gems to Purchase the druid robes costume and the raven-apothecary outfit.

So, Arden LeBrante's outfit and mount are all set and ready, now the class must just release:

How has Tamriel been treating you all lately? Anything worthwhile to report?

I recently got my husband to start playing and we have been questing together while RP'ing and developing a storyline. He's a Breton outlaw who can't control his magic and accidentally zapped a guard back in Daggerfall and I'm a cynical Dunmer assassin who has employed him as a side kick. We've been making our way across Stonefalls a little bit each night and it has been pretty fun. I'm surprised he is taking to the game as much as he is.

When the Warden comes out I know I'll be jealous of everyone with spriggan mounts and those beautiful robes.

Watching Breath of the Wild on another screen and, gods, I hope the Switch does well. I totally want to play me a new Zelda game.

What a coincidence! My dorkcerer Anacario recently mastered the art of Spriggan magic. He prefers to form it in the shape of a guar, but eh. To each their own.

In truth, my love / hate relationship with the Crown Store continues. I was desperately hoping that the Moth Priest outfit wouldn't end up in a crate. I assumed that the Priest of the Green costume would find it's way in there. What's really frustrating is that this time there are things in the crates that I really, really want. I mean, badly. Not because of the need to collect everything, but because I can see my characters using them.

Sigh

In other news, i'm close to saving enough gold to purchase my first Homestead house. Maybe this weekend will be my belated moving-in day! The simple appearance, honest material and age-old charm that is a mud hut is too much to resist. Yep, i'm looking at you, Humblemud.

Your character looks great, wow now you have me wanting to make a more nature themed character.

Just finishing my second coffee (dull instant coffee we have in the office) for the day and working through some certification and trying to order a lamp (light bulb) for a fitting which is ten years out of production.

I've not been in game much this week due to Torment: Tides of Numenera being out at last and diving into that. I do have a gamer friend coming back from a work trip this weekend and he's just purchased some ESO+ time so I will hop on and catch up with him over the weekend.

Whilst I haven't been playing though I have been planning my characters a little more. I want to have a Dunmer character of every class by the end of the year but being a roleplay nerd I am giving each their own "theme" so far this is what I have.

Tarvynus Vedralu Dunmer Male Nightblade (Magicka DPS) Soul Magic Mage
Terynus Vedralu Dunmer Female Sorcerer (Magicka DPS) Lightning Magic Mage
Teldus Valansour Dunmer Male Dragonknight (Magicka DPS) Fire Magic Mage
No Name Dunmer Male Templar (Hybrid Tank) Holy Warrior
No Name Dunmer No Gender Warden (Tank) Frost Magic Warrior

As you can see I have a silly naming format of all characters being T V, this goes back to my days of Ragnarok Online and my first RPG days when my character was named Turelus Valentine (and quite a terrible mary sue).

Also I want to say a huge thank you @Winchester1306 for making these threads, they're a good read and nice positive thing each day. I hope we see more in the community pick them up and partake.

@d0e1ow So awesome to read of more people who like to Roleplay while they level and quest together. My best friend and I have been doing this ever since we started playing online games together - and we are still doing it. Makes it so much fun and even more immersive.

@Anacario The Guar shaped one is very nice as well indeed, I must say they really outdid themselves with the mounts this time. I'd have preferred if they were being sold straight up - but there are many threads for discussing that so let's not get into it here lol.

@menedhyn I feel you. This time around there have been so many things in the crates that I not just wanted - but needed, since I can also see a lot of my characters using them. Next on my wishlist is the Hircine statue and banners for Arden's house once he moves in.

@Turelus Thank you for the compliment on my soon-to-be Warden, really appreciate it. And I love the naming convention you have for your characters - it is an awesome tradition to have. And I am glad so many roleplayers are out and about, it is refreshing to see on Elder Scrolls Online and gives me so much hope and enthusiasm for the future!

Agree

I started an Alt (Imperial Templar) to go back through a lot of quest I forgotten about, this will also give me an opportunity to see how One Tamriel reacts to a lower level character. going to splurge for some Crown crates later and see what pops up other than that just wandering the land with no real goal.

@Balamoor Ahw that screenshot of your character on the Ebonheart Pact horse mount is awesome - he looks really fierce. Having fun levelling him through One Tamriel so far?

Yes it's great so far I actually tried to embed that pic but the forums aren't cooperating, anywho The Templar is very different from the Nightblade I have been playing since launch but a nice change of pace.

LMAO! I agree fully. I previewed it on my female Altmer Sorceress and it looks terrible on the female models. Considering most of the costumes in the Crown Store are for females, it is nice to see one that look better on male toons for once.
