Elder Scrolls Online for PC?

Mitrenga · June 2020

I would wait for a free trial, if I were you. Perhaps vanilla content with 50% off.
I am like you, I tend to take breaks very often because I feel disappointed each time I return. Playing on PC EU, PvE group content and Cyrodiil (PvP) is unbearable for me. Skill delays, lag, disconnects... However, if you are looking to play overland content and enjoy questing, you would not feel most of the negative aspects of the game.

Well, that's up to you.

Speaking strictly for myself, I found that I really enjoyed starting a new character on the PC EU server a couple of years ago and having to start totally from scratch since it was my first-ever character on that server. So if I were in your shoes, I think I would go for it.

But I can also understand why some people might not want to have to start all over from scratch.

How do you feel about add-ons? I don't play with any, myself, but if you're interested in playing with add-ons then that would be one reason in favor of making the plunge.

I did the same, coming from PC NA, and hardly play my NA characters any more. I don't use addons so I can't speak to their benefits. What's kept me on EU is the schedule and my guild. As a retiree with a younger husband, being able to enjoy prime time play, mostly no CP PvP, while he works is ideal.

AVaelham · June 2020

I've been playing on the PC-EU ever since 2015 and in 2018 I've also started playing on XBOX-EU. It could also be my potato PC, but the PC-EU server is super slow compared to the XBOX-EU one, especially now with the server problems. I'd recommend starting on the NA server since the ping seems to be very similar these days

The community, however, feels much more alive on the PC and add-ons are such a huge perk. Researching traits and crafting in general on console are such an annoyance tbh.

A long time ago, before console was really a thing, ZOS gave PC players a 1 time option of paying to make a direct copy of their PC account, to one or more console environments.
I’ve never understood why in the past 5 years since, that ZOS has not offered this up as a paid option for continuous sale?

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Pretty sure they considered it feasible because the accounts were copied to any empty server. Also there were delays in bringing the consoles live so many who had intended to play on console had started on PC.

Aisleyne · June 2020

I debated a lot before deciding to switch as well. In the end, it took me less than sixth months to catch myself up to (and surpass) what had taken me years on console. The performance, load times, and addons have such a huge impact on saving you time and frustration. The quality of life improvements were absolutely worth everything involved in making the switch. The only regrets I've had are for the event and limited time items I couldn't replace. It's just a matter of looking at your collections and weighing whether the loss is worth everything you have to gain.

The add-ons, from what I hear, are TERRIFIC for game play. Such as trading and what-not. That was always a huge issue with console gaming on ESO. Trading can be a pain.

I suppose that is an idea. Wait until a free trial.

In terms of addons, yes, they can be very helpful for trading, but there are ... trade-offs.

One of the most feature-rich addons is Master Merchant, which aggregates actual sales data from your own guilds. If you are in a guild with a decent volume of trading, then this will be your best bet for price checks. It gives daily and weekly totals for your and your guildies' sales, as well as price graphs and price checks for each item you have data for. It can also vary the quality of item in the tooltip, to see if there are data for the same item of different qualities.

However, the way it scrapes and saves data is pretty inefficient, so don't expect it to be running constantly during normal gameplay, because it can turn your experience into a slide show. I usually just enable it whenever I need to sell or buy a lot of stuff.

It is also very slow to pull in sales history the first time, if you haven't run it in a while. This is due to some rate limits put in by ZOS about a year ago, when the servers started melting and addon traffic was one of the easiest things to cut. You can manually override the limits by just going to the sales history tab for your guild and pressing E repeatedly until the keybind disappears indicating no more data.

I also recommend going into the addon settings and reducing the max number of entries per item to 1000, and the max history to 14 days. That's enough to fill out stats on how much you've sold for two weeks, but not so much as to bog down your system with millions of extra unnecessary data points.

For locating specific gear or increasing visibility of your wares, there's none better than Tamriel Trade Centre. This takes data from the community's saved vars and aggregates it on a centralized search engine. However, because the site is populated with saved vars, which are just a text file that can be manipulated, I wouldn't consider the site a good source for pricing information. There are enough good-faith users of it, though, that it's still useful for matching up sellers and buyers.

Last but not least, there's Arkadius' Trade Tools. I haven't used them personally, but I know a lot of people swear by them.

Jack_Of_Shades · June 2020

@shimm: That's what I've heard, and seen. But I must admit, graphics has never TRULY been on the top of my list for gaming. I generally look at Control UI, gameplay as a whole and story as more important. But I'm glad it runs with such high performance on PC. That is always a bonus for video games.

@CMDR_Un1k0rn: Right, okay. So it varies I suppose from player to player? I mean, I live in North America. So I will just do what I have done on console, and stick with that server.

@Mitrenga: Yes, exactly. I started my ESO career back in 2015 on PS4. So I've been playing the game for about 5 years now, on and off. I don't really touch PvP, as I am WAY overly competitive and don't enjoy losing to other players. Not only that, it's hollow content FOR ME, so I choose to stay away. I typically enjoy overland content with some deviation to Maelstrom, if my build allows for it. Otherwise I like to craft, trade, adventure and complete achievements within the game. Sort of a completionist. lol

@Imryll: Okay, so then that makes sense why you use the EU server. It just conforms to your play time frame. I understand. lol

@AVaelham: Yes, I've actually played on the EU server on Xbox - briefly. And it wasn't bad, but that topic is exactly why I want to try PC. Add-ons are crucial to me, now that I've done research on them. That and members here have given specific recommendations. Which, thank you! My biggest issue with console was trading. No centralized pricing data for items, no way to know if you're getting the item you want without potentially being ripped off. It makes crafting (if you don't harvest everything) a bit volatile.

@Aisleyne: Oh wow! How did you manage that?! I noticed you said the add-ons and quality of life updates cut down time. I just don't know if it'll be the same, or better, in my instance. So much crafting and trait research will be gone.
That's also another variable right there! Limited time holiday event items. You're right, there is no telling if you can ever get them back. Would be nice if they just linked my email from the console to the PC version. And said, okay, here are your earned rewards from past holiday events. At least that, maybe.

@silvereyes: I've noticed TTC was a good source of information... for PC. But if you ever look at console, it's an empty warehouse of information. So, I used to use the website to get a ball park idea of what to sell my items for. Or, I would jump from guild vendor to guild vendor, and do an average price check. Then go slightly below the lowest sold item. Let me tell you, that takes forever when you're selling 60 plus items. I don't think I ever finished listing every item either. It was a nightmare.

True, but I doubt they will allow third party add-ons to console. But, maybe they will.
I've always known that, regardless of next generation console updates, PC will always be more advanced due to customization of hardware. Like I have done to my own laptop. So you can essentially be beyond the newest consoles, if desired.

So much crafting and trait research will be gone.

Just ask on here, on reddit, or in your trade guild, and someone will probably be happy to send you a ton of research gear. It does take a while, but if you are willing to invest the skill points to the research passives and are diligent about researching, you can get back to 9 traits on everything in about half a year. I can send you gear on PC/NA if you decide to go that route.

I have a couple addons that make crafting and researching gear automatically much easier.

Research Craft is a bare bones slash command utility for exporting a list of research gear needed, and then filling that order. It's not really feature rich, but it works well enough for a brand new character.
Auto Research will automatically select the next item to research and start researching it whenever you open a craft station. The rules about research order and which items are allowed to be researched are pretty configurable.

Aisleyne · June 2020

When it comes to research, it will take you time to get back up to 9 traits. However, starting over as an experienced player you can do it more efficiently. Addons make it seamless to track timers and items for research even across multiple characters (no idea why it doesn't get as much spotlight as some but TraitBuddy is my go to). And by using research scrolls, which are easy to search for and find on PC, you can cut the overall times substantially. Motifs are much easier to find and generally much cheaper as well.

Tradeable event items are easy to find and replace as well, it's just the limited time things you'll have to do without unless/until they bring them back.

CherryCake · June 2020

Moved to pc from years being on ps4, honestly youre not missing much aside some better graphics.

Jack_Of_Shades · June 2020

@silvereyes: Are you serious? People would do that? I used to do that for my brother and girlfriend, back when they were interested in crafting. I'd create gear they could use for research. They were so happy anytime it was something harder to find, for example: Nirnhoned. lol
But anyway, that would be so amazing. I'd gladly research it again if I were to have help. It would completely save so much time and effort. I've had to restart crafting multiple times due to console switching.
So are those basically like macros that automatically do the work for you, in a sense? Or is that wrong/against ZoS terms and agreement?

@Aisleyne: Exactly, I can do what I did not do before. Which is to start on the harder to find, more valuable research traits such as nirnhoned and experience. Okay, that makes sense due to the fact that ESO for PC has been out longer. So the motifs are technically older on that platform, and I assume they have diminished in value?

Valid point. I will miss my mounts/costume/hats etc. But, I've noticed holidays (like the witches festival) tend to bring back ALMOST every item from prior years. So, I may be okay!

@EstelioVeleth: So, in your opinion, probably not too much to come back to if I switched to PC?

Also, side not but important, THANK YOU to anyone who took valuable time out of their day to come chat on this thread and give their opinions and ideas on transferring over to PC. I appreciate it!

It's worth it. I was in the same position. Been playing even more on PC though and it is very much worth it.

Zero regrets on my part, and no longer even think about my Xbox account.

Plus. Mouse and keyboard? Heck yeah! Now I've got to grips with them I will never go back to a controller!

I've been spoiled by a controller, so I don't know if I would use mouse and keyboard on ESO. I also wasn't one for bar swapping. Does PC make bar swapping any easier?

I am going to be honest. No. I found it harder. Much harder.

Until, that is, I got an MMO mouse with 12 buttons on the side-plate. Once I got that, i was able to build a binding profile that worked much, much better for me. Basically, all my skill casting handled by my thumb on the mouse, attacks and blocks handled by the fingers on the mouse, and movement handled by my keyboard hand.

Also, if you use a gamepad on PC, you'll be stuck with the console UI which is a bit pants on PC. So I would recommend playing with a mouse and keyboard. Try a basic setup first but if you later feel you need more mouse buttons, go for a 12 button MMO mouse. I am saying this as a console gamer, to a console gamer.

Okay, sounds like I'll get a little overwhelmed at first. But thanks for the advice. Typically, I don't do heavy optimal builds or runs. So I tend to stick with one bar anyway. One spammable, aoe, heal, buff etc. But I'll see how it goes if I move to pc and go from there.

Depends..if you mostly pvp cyro then no..No matter how great your pc is the server is still trash..

Pve also depends..I hear that a lot of the raid players have left/taking a break due to performance

PC does not fix the issues but it does make it more manageable

No PvP for me, so that's no problem.

Also, I don't do trials or the bigger group dungeons. So that's also out.

So it seems I'll be just fine if I decide to play, while using the NA Server.

This.. you NA people bashing EU for nothing.
EU has more of a mature playerbase from what I've seen in my time playing.

The EU and NA servers are quite equal performance wise, I play on both.. my advice is, play where you are from.. otherwise ping is gonna screw you up badly. And yeah honestly if your computer can handle it I'd definetly re-purchase everything and play on PC. Just hope your laptop can handle the game, laptops aren't that great for gaming. Addons are great, especially lazywritcrafter.

I've been downloading games I enjoy similar to this, and it runs them VERY well! To be fair, it's very new, and the hardware within has been highly updated by myself. Just as well, the cooling fans are very new and tend to keep the GPU around 65-70°C even on Graphic intensive games. I will stick to NA server if I re-purchase the game, as it's my region of origin. Thank you for your input, I do appreciate everyone who has responded. It's helping paint a good picture of what I want to do.

Hello everyone!
I'll make this rather quick, I own this game on Xbox One. And I tend to always come back to it, no matter how mad I get at it at times. I've done A LOT on the console version, spent a decent amount of money on it. And own almost every DLC, with a few exceptions. I've recently purchased a gaming laptop (Asus Tuf FX505DU gaming laptop) and updated the DDR4 to 32GB Ram, and the Solid State Drive to a 1TB. So I could play the game on this Laptop. But here is my question:

Is it worth restarting EVERYTHING ENTIRELY, and repurchasing all the DLC, to buy ESO on PC?

Thanks for your input, I greatly appreciate it!

-Jack Of Shades, The Mysterious Sage.

Naw don't waste your time. I restarted but depending on what you like to do. I like to PVP and if you're under a certain CP level it isn't balanced for you at all. Gray host the main campaign is completely trash and is plagued with terrible performance.

Tevalaur · June 2020

Since you're mostly questioning which addons might be useful, you'll find brief descriptions and links to their pages on ESOUI within the list of recommended addons on my website. Hope this is helpful to you, and good luck with your decision.

I've done A LOT on the console version, spent a decent amount of money on it. And own almost every DLC, with a few exceptions. I've recently purchased a gaming laptop (Asus Tuf FX505DU gaming laptop) and updated the DDR4 to 32GB Ram, and the Solid State Drive to a 1TB. So I could play the game on this Laptop. But here is my question:

Is it worth restarting EVERYTHING ENTIRELY, and repurchasing all the DLC, to buy ESO on PC?

Thanks for your input, I greatly appreciate it!

I guess it really depends on how much dust collects on your xbox now that you have your gaming laptop. I'm of the opinion that the PC version is generally better all around. I have it on the PS4 and PC. THE PS4 just can't keep up with a good gaming PC. I'm assuming the Xbox is the same.

On the other hand... buying "everything" again can be incredibly expensive.

@regime211: I don't enjoy PvP at all, so I stay away as much as possible. But other than that, is there anything else you enjoy about restarting on PC?

@Tevalaur: Wait. That's YOUR website!? I used to use that website ALL. THE. TIME. When I played more frequently. Xbox and PS4 didn't really have any resources for helping us with crafting, trading, etc. Your website was, and is, a fantastic source for information on ESO. Thank you, by the way!

@srfrogg23: Not a whole lot really, I tend to jump back and forth right now. Mainly it's been like this:

-Xbox: Hop on, collect daily reward, hop off. Then jump on either For honor, or Fallout 76.

-Gaming Laptop: Get on steam, observe/add Wish list games, play either Baldurs Gate or Total Miner Forge. My library is still small due to lack of a decent computer for... around 10ish years.

It feels like it can't to be honest. I agree.

And there is my problem, buying everything again and earning everything again.
