any kind of punctuation or sentence structure would have given me at least an iota of whatever the heck you are talking about
You should quote the post you're talking about, else readers would make the mistake that you're talking about the post above yours (which happens to be mine) and infer that you have no comprehension of the English language since I exhibit fairly flawless sentence structure and punctuation in virtually all my posts.
Edit: Moreover, while you display satisfactory sentence structure in your post criticizing someone else's grammar, you do not, however, properly capitalize or punctuate said post, which I find to be quite ironic.
Tweaking templars and nightblades won't fix the underlying issue, which is magicka-stamina balance.

I know I'm just doing the Elder Scrolls part of the game and ignoring the MMO strangeness but my son and I did a 4 person the other day and it was a blast. I love the combat and my Sorcs are quite good. My NB is coming along well as I learn to play him and my crafters are starting to produce serious buffs. My DK is getting good as well. My level 12 Templar is my level 50 cook and is very useful to all of the chars.
'I guess I'm doing it wrong' is my favorite go to and it does make me try things a lot of different ways. The game rewards this a lot and my chars punch well above their levels.
So I am doing it wrong by MMO standards but I hate MMOs, so cheesy and cartoony with the stupid 3rd person view. I'll do it my way, and I expect that will work very well. It sure has been.
This is a good example of the MMO crowd, and part of why I kinda despise them.poodlemasterb16_ESO wrote: »LOL. I have 125 levels across 7 chars. The highest is 27 right now, with all over 10.

I was reading through your post thinking “hey whatever to each his own… I’ll probably never see this guy anyway” till you mentioned doing a 4 man and refusing to play in 3rd person in close succession with each other.
I don’t care how “dumb” you think 2rd person looks. The rest of us don’t play in 3rd person so we can see our shiny characters (they’re not actually shiny since we all wear the same light armor anyway). We play in 3rd person and zoomed out as far as we can zoom so we can see the glowing red rings of death we’re standing in and so we can see the other glowing patches of death to our sides and behind us and know where not to move. When you purposefully remove ¾ of your field of view you are asking to die to environment effects or to that add running up to you charging heavy attack from behind.
Saying “I’m doing it wrong… whatever” is fine as long as you’re running around wasting your own time and your own money on repairs. With a dungeon queue and another 4 man on the way I sure as don’t want to end up grouped with someone who spends ¾ of the time eating dirt since he can’t see ¾ of the dangers coming at him. It's not fair for your groups to be forced to do content 25% harder because you're in the group and you're always dead.

Remember when it was all of the rage to complain about bugged quests and bots? Notice that they fixed a ton of quests - and that the bots have been slammed hard? Notice the lack of gold spam in general chat, even in starter zones? New content in week 7, slightly after the 4-6 week release window? Notice the substantially improved experience gains in vet content? The fixes to broken passives?
And do you notice a word of recognition from the doom and gloom brigade? All you see is copy-pasted bile that acknowledges no changes whatsoever. And that's why I'm getting really, really tired of the negativity brigade. Because endless screaming and yelling, without even a token nod to good things, isn't "constructive" or your "right" as a paying customer. It's just the sort of thing that gets you ignored, and deservedly so.

Problem here is that the word 'better' means different things to different people. I'm not clear on your use of that word. I'd say most of the game I've seen is as good as many of the finest single-player games, but I don't think dark souls is really a good one to compare ESO to. I believe the two are too different. A better comparison would be Skyrim. I don't think ESO is quite as good a single-player game as Skyrim BUT ESO has other people running around in it and is close enough to be a contender. And if you actually like other people then overall it is better.Only one question springs to my mind, is it better than a dedicated single player rpg (or something like dark souls with few multiplayer elements), or at least as good?

OK poodle masterb..whatever. There are two important parts to balancing online games. One is the leveling experience and the flow of that content and the other is end game which is what a majority of the comments on here concern. Beings you do not have a character even remotely close to this content, perhaps you should reserve your comments to the aforementioned early gaming experience as you cannot offer anything valid toward end game until you have experienced it.
Being a master at checkers does not make you a master at chess.

I am not playing the MMO you want. it's poodlemaster BTW Zenimax was weird with the letters when a lot of us joined up.
I'm not concerned about the end PvE game much anyway. I am building an army for Cyrodill. That is why I am taking it slow. I am on the PTS server now, mainly to experiment with end builds, I'm pretty pleased with all my chars progression and my son a VR1 NB, just one char, is doing well.
My point is you do not have to play it like the MMOs you have played before. It's a boatload of fun for me to learn and I always come for the combat, so Cyrodill is just hilarious fun. I find PvE bosses etc very useful for testing what you have but the real combat is not the same. I may never "raid" unless it looks like too much fun.

So that train of bots I see running around farming mobs isn't actually Chinese gold farmers... it's just you.

Makes no sense but I expect that from the MMO crowd.
It's a TES game you are the newbie here.
down all the rot gut get a spot in the showcase showdown we call trials.
Endgame IS mmo gaming. We don't drink alcohol, we drink DKP. We don't eat lobster, we eat world first progression. We don't have molten chocolate upside down cake for desert, we have organized pvp. But mostly.. we just don't drink because drunk people stand in the fire. And get kicked out of the raid.
