[Megathread] Elder Scrolls Online

[notorious98]

Kinda stinks that some players got their pre order vanity and map bonuses and others didn't and need to wait till tomorrow!

Those that did bought it from Bethesda. It's the price you pay for being able to use discounts to purchase your game.

The yellow text ingame estimated 3-4 hours of downtime, so it would be 2-3 hours from now on.

E: too slow

okay hopefully it doesn't get extended and they get in game mail working again.

In-game mail is supposedly coming back up when the severs go back up. Which is good cause my inv is wrecked atm. (saving a lot of stuff for friends and my bank is full of crafting mats)

Does switching servers switch character list as well? I might look into it and will ask to transfer my characters incase it does. Pisses me off reading german and french...everybody speaks english, they should as well or use their own deticated zone chat.

Good question! No idea though. I went straight for the NA server as I anticipated the EU one to be a clusterfuck of "culture".

[Nyothe]

Does playing on the US shard affect you in any way as in lag etc?
Have to agree that the constant zone chat spamm in german and french is annoying and retarded as fuck. They should have sharded the german and french onto their own shard.

You know there is an English only chat?

The default chat is international.

I need to know it's stable enough to play from in Belgium.

The default chat is international.

And I'm sure the non-english speaking players would never go into it, right?

And putting default international is stupid beyond words from an online game design point of view.

Multiple german people are spamming english zone, I got french and german toggled off so they are probably spamming all 4 zone chats.

Since you activly choose to enter the national chats. Their is actually that chance.

We got English / German / French. So what about russianppl? or spanish? Are they now forbidden to talk?

Yes. Russian because their characters make me giggle, spanish because they have much better horses than I!

So....many.....mats. Provisioning is ridiculous. I've gotten 1 recipe so far. 1 in 10 levels. It makes me a sad panda that I can't cook or brew anything despite having all these materials. You'd think I would just whip some shit up even if it sucked, but nope, I need a recipe to even make something shitty.

If I buy the US game, will I be able to play the game on the European megaserver? Or vice-versa? – Amy Richards

Yes, you can choose to play on either the North American or European megaserver, regardless of your physical location. While you can freely switch between the megaservers as you choose, please keep in mind that your characters will be bound to the server you originally create them on.

As for stability; You just have to try it out on NA servers and check. No need to re install your client or anything so nothing to lose by trying.

Speaking any language except English or any language in elder scrolls lore (Dragon, akaviri daedric) should be banned.
I'd have gone US but I was worried about times messing with adventure zone/pvp/roleplay events in any guild I would join.

There must be a way to test my ms on a NA server.

[Sainur]

I have to say, them bloody Germans and French just keep on spamming the main zone chat with random stuff and guild invites. I daresay, it's even more annoying than the occassional gold spammer.

Grr...

There is. Just switch region through options on your launcher, create a random level 1 toon and check it out, hehe.

That is a valid point

It's impossible to actually see the ms unless the lag becomes really big.

Going to look into reporting those spammers. They re worse then gold spammers. Atleast I know what the hell they are saying.

[Tazila]

Well, having a lot of fun. Right now just pretending it's a stand alone and collecting everything.

I am having a problem with invisible mobs killing me or quest givers not showing. Especially once I've done in the beta, pretty sure I've done the quests in the same order.


Anyone tell me the reload command again incase that'll fix? =]

You can feel delays pretty easily when looting stuff or pressing dialogue options. If it gets above 60MS you'll see noticeable delay between click and response. It's not perfect but it's at least something to go by. I'm also pretty sure you can check exact latency numbers through task manager and CMD pinging.
