[Megathread] Elder Scrolls Online

Hmm.. I thought it had always been referred as "sweet" in all ES games. Moon sugar is sweet, Skooma isn't.

Even back in morrowind Khajit NPCs often says something like "hmm... sweet moon sugar" IIRC

Just to get that staight, as far as I understand our cursing fellow, he meant "a sweet" which refers to candy.
However I have yet to find any ingame reference where it is refered to as candy.

All I have seen so far is a human girl moaning abot the fact that she drank ale mixed with moonsugar in a kajitian city but didn't know that and thus experiencing an extreme hangover the next day.

I love these leaps in logic fanboys do.

I have played it, I completed the starter zone, it's generic MMO trash. The Hit detection in the game is so damn laughable you can die by being miles away. The stat system basically tells you to play by their rules and everything is so damn Linear it doesn't promote being in exploration at all. And no.

The Second Era is reported upon pretty damn well.

Yes. Now it is. Because everything from the ESO timeline has been added to the lore. Before anything was known of ESO, the Second Era didn't had a lot of details and had a lot of open gaps with little information.

Well, considering you've all been wrong about Elder Scrolls lore and bumping off Paywalls like "Oh well it's JUST a new race and a free horse, it's nothing MAJOR"

Sounds like I have yet to be proven wrong.

Imperials weren't even planned to be in the original game, at all. Instead, Zenimax decided to be nice and added them anyway. But it costs money, as with everything in the world today. A pity, isn't it?

Thats because Khajit are Crack Addicts, thieves and lying scoundrels. It's sort of what they are designed to be.

The whole race? Yep. Sure. Like all Afghans are terrorists, all US citizens are obese gun-freaks and all germans are drunk and humorless and only eat sauerkraut.

[Deleted]

ESO does the whole freedom and exploration thing a lot better than WoW. There are plenty of videos out there with people exploring content way past their level, as soon as you're off tutorial Island you can go as far as you want.
The starter Islands may not please the Veteran MMO crowd, but they have to think about the ES player who haven't touched a MMO yet and get them used to the various concepts and restrictions of an MMO, for example: there can be no level scaling for Enemy NPCs, everything would have to be instanced for every single player ... what's the point of an MMO then?

Whats the point of being an ES MMO when you have no lore anymore and everything follows rails?

Sounds about right.

Oh please, "Zenimax decided to be nice" Really? You're going to defend a faceless corporation and they did something nice? No, they ripped shit out for profit. And no, the Second Era had plenty of records beforehand. TESO Retcons tons of them.

I don't give a flying shit what you raving fanboys think.

Every person I can dissuade from buying this rape of a game is a person saved from drowning in putrid shit.

Since you seem to be completely and utterly out of touch with reality, here's just a reminder for you when the events of the different games take place:

2E 583 - The Elder Scrolls Online
3E 399 - The Elder Scrolls: Arena
3E 427 - The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind
3E 433 - The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
4E 201 - The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

I'd think shit can change in a few hundred years, don't you?

[Deleted]

Except, you know, Khajit culture having no concepts of Truth or Personal property because they have a weird link with the Dreamsleave.

Something tells me you are a racist irl, can't be sure though. Just basing this from how you speak.

What's the point of your complaints anymore?

It's a MMORPG, not a Single-Player-RPG. Character progression has to be equalized ... there would be a lot more complaining than your useless rants if it wasn't.
There's plenty of lore, some new, some old, some changed. Their choice, not yours.

They could've just said "fuck you, we're not adding anymore races, Imperials can go shove a broom up their arseholes". But they didn't. It's 2014, every company rips shit out for profit. Heh... capitalism.

Ah right, I totally forgot the Pocket guide to the Empire didn't give us info on the Second Era. As did the Brothers of Darkness and countless other books.

Or shall we forget that TESO is now an alternative reality thanks to based Todd Howard and Kirkbride.

Moon Sugar is an illegal and addictive drug found in sugar canes native to the Tenmar Forest of southern Elsweyr. Khajiit believe it to be a gift from the gods. The sugar is used in a variety of applications, most prominently as a seasoning, a magical ingredient, a recreational drug, and for communion with the holy moons. It is commonly refined into a more usable and more potent form known as Skooma. It should be noted that non-Khajiit are generally more susceptible to the effects of Moon Sugar and should avoid it. taken from usep as it is a quick source note it says SUGAR CANES and it much of lore is described as sweet and used in almost all of Khajiit cooking hmmm yeah sounds like surgar that acts as a necrotic even more so when refined into skooma.

look we know you don't like the game a lot of people do tho and if they want to buy it let them no need to constantly try and shit on something you don't like. it's just petty when you do it

Anyone else run into magicka regen cap problems? apparently in level 16 greens you can already "overcharge" your magicka regen, and even so you still can't spam spells as a high elf sorcerer built entirely around magicka efficiency. Is there really any point in wearing light over medium or heavy, since magicka is obviously not a good reason?

[Deleted]

My god.

You honestly didn't grasp the entire point of The Elder Scrolls is that most of the races are supremely racist and bigoted towards each other?

That Mer and Men literally hate each other on an instinctual level due to their creations?

Are you THAT inept at Elder Scrolls Lore? THIS is what Skyrim did to the franchise.

In "The Fiend" we have a case of a person who thinks he has read and understood books and in-game lore, and is convinced he has all the facts, but judging by his grasp and handling of the written part of the English language, we can safely assume his prowess as far as reading the English language goes is just as shoddy and unreliable, hence making what he thinks he knows somewhat of a moot point, and makes him a nice target for an ignore.

Also sounds like a fucking drug man.

And here we have someone who knows nothing of the lore, and thinks if he cannot argue against someone who does, should just tell everyone to ignore him so people can keep living in blissful ignorance that TESO isn't another Soul-less MMO designed entirely for profit margins, not players.

you're not supposed to spam your skills.

Look at the light-armor passives ... spell penetration, cost reduce, improved crit chance for spells and improved spell resistance.

Check out the posts on reddit if you want to learn more about the caps..

Light armor makes it possible to skip some of the regen passives for exemple, or to be a vailable mage if you're not a high elf or chose the sorcerer class.
Overcharge also does not mean you don't get any effect anymore, but you get less.

It is not meant by zennimax to be able to spam spells, you stil have to use your weapons which is a design goal.


So light armor is usefull to get these passives but it is not the only way to play, also it makes it possible to mix armor types togather.
For exemple try 5 light 2 heavy.

Character progression has to be Equal. Not formalised entirely into slots that mean everyone develops exactly the same.
