Thankyou.
I'm cool with non-GAFers being let in if everyone else is. I figure if a GAFer vouches for 'em, then why not?
I know I haven't actually PLAYED with anyone in our guild yet, but I certainly don't mind expanding the guild outside GAF either. I met some great people playing Destiny over the years that were introduced to me by GAFfers I didn't personally know but happened to be playing the game with at the time.

Is a two handed sword Dragonknight tank viable? Or do I need to go sword/shield? :|
I don't understand what it takes to be decent at PVP in this game. I checked out Cyrodiil to get some extra skill points and got totaled in an instant several times whenever I encountered another player. All my stat recoveries feel lower too, as well as my damage and healing capabilities.

Be mindful of the campaign you're joining. If you're under 50, join the non-vet campaign.
YouTube and Reddit have some really good Cyrodiil guides. The place can be very unwelcoming initially but jointing together with zergs (use chat) is a great way to at least get some footing.

2H DK is very viable. DKs usually tank in PvE end game, but for most content, 2H with bow, dw or s&b is fine. 2H DK is a beast in PvP as well.
2H/S&B is pretty popular right now since it transitions really well between a lot of different parts of the game.
FakeEdit: Misread your post. 2H probably won't cut it for "tanking" in any challenging scenario.

Lol man, 85% of your post filled me with hope!
So the most viable tank is Sword & shield?

For trials and vet, yeah.

Do you remember where you start the Coldharbour missions? Honestly, its my fault for being so confused. I bought this game on launch day, started it up for an hour, and then set it aside until now. Also, is there a way to find those blue zones where the chains come down from the sky and enemies spawn? I gathered those are like "events" akin to Destiny, but I always seem to miss them as I'm running around randomly in the world.
As you can tell, I have no clue what I'm doing (lol).

speaking of coldharbour, I kinda hate how screwy the mats are when you reach champion, since suddenly you will go with your universal champion levelm suddenly you'll have 3-4 different materials
main coldharbour stuff are mage and king, then the chasm (with a choice of getting vampire allies or not), then straight to coldharbour
sidequests are (in the mage area) the alchemist soulmend, the portal openers, one of the three alliance baddies, (in king's area) lost argonian gang, lost expedition gang, elves or lamia (required to reach king's area), and stibbons (required for later quest), then there's a mine prison that you could miss because no main quest goes through it, then after chasm but before the final dungeon there are two sidequests - the pirate ship and the illusion manor (I dunno if stibbons is required here, but the way it plays out feels like you need stibbons rescued first)
you could skip them and do them later of course, but then you won't get the aid for the main story, and there's the fact that you need to rescue a certain number of people before hollow city becomes functional

You should have a quest already that tells you to find the two people, one being east and the other west. That mission starts when you talk to the groundskeeper right outside the entrance to the city in CH.
The chains you're referring to are "dolmens" and they are on a timer like destiny events. If you look at your map, the icon for them looks like a jagged circle. The dolmens are static and always spawn in the same spot. Generally, the timer on them isn't too long if you want to camp one (around 5-10m). If you want to see where they are in your zone, just google a dolmen map for the zone.

None as you can solo most everything and the content scales to you as well.

Dolmens are linked rather than timed.
Only one in an area is active. As soon as it falls, the next in the chain spawns. Molag Bal actually alludes to this during his rants.
Being predictable is what allows for dolmen trains in a lot of areas.
Yes. DK with a shield is the best tanking in the game.

Same here. Most of the people on my friends list now are secondary party members that I met through GAF parties in either Destiny or other MP games.
I primarily only use voice when in a group/dungeon. Outside of that there are just too many people to compete with when talking, it gets insane. GAF guild might be a bit better, though, as it's a smaller number of people.

Would be cool to join a GAFPS4 guild.
So if I bought this and bought the Morrowind upgrade version I should be all set?

Yes, you'd only be missing the DLCs
Is there a version that has all the DLC?

The Gold edition has all but Shadow of the Hist I believe, but excludes Morrowind.

Anyone else find playing this and Destiny in tandem to be the perfect mix of gaming?
I get sweaty in trials, then come and relax in ESO questing, then get sweaty in BG, then go relax in patrols and casual Nightfalls.
Like my gaming Yin and Yang lol.

I feel you on that also, it's my other swap out game in a lesser way (along with PUBG, Paragon and TW3:Blood & Wine)
I'm in the same boat, just started playing after getting the gold version (for the DLC) & Morrowind. Any good guides on getting started with the game? What should I be looking to buy in the crown store (if anything)?
BizzyBum
Member
You don't need to purchase anything in the crown store, but if you're inclined the best stuff to purchase when starting up would be a mount (or just save 10K gold and buy a standard horse at any stable), bag / bank upgrades, mount training books (stamina is not important, worry about speed and carry weight first) and ESO+ for the crafting bag.
Ivory Samoan

The crafting bag is beyond priceless IMO.

Nope. When your ESO+ ends you won't be able to deposit materials in your crafting bag anymore. Everything you deposited in your crafting bag stays there until you take it out though.

So regardless of crafting level, the final one is always in Craglorn then? Even if I go up to level 10 in blacksmithing etc.?

Yeah. Belkarth is the final turn-in location. The 10th point unlocks Wrothgar surveys, but there's no turn-in there.

My CP 120 is struggling so much in the same group dungeons other lvl 10s are breezing through. God I hate this inverted progression curve.
ESO Morrowind or original Morrowind?
PS. Is the traditional Morrowind theme in ESO Morrowind?
BizzyBum
Member
No, which is bullshit. They do have remixed versions of some classic tunes though but it's not enough. Still, the ESO Morrowind soundtrack is very good. All the music in ESO is. I just wish they used more of the classic soundtrack when playing the game.
BizzyBum
Member
Well, the initial CG trailer did drop a remixed version of it at the very end, but that's it. AFAIK the tune doesn't play at all when playing the game.

Level 10s that are probably cp630. At this point, I'd like them to eliminate the gear cap altogether.

Not sure I'd call it an omission...they did an amazing version of it (the influence is there throughout) in the new title song, and it does have the original pretty much at the end. If they played the straight original I personally would have thought it lazy and slightly nostalgia baiting a bit.
Either way, the soundtrack is phenom as always lately: the OST is on Spotify now, the Soule tracks are probably the best, but the whole thing is great.

use coupon code " TESCDKEYS7 " to make the game $ 22.22
remember cdkeys is legit, g2a isnt. This gets you the base game + morrowind (you wont have any of the other dlcs unless you buy the gold edition or get a eso suscription.
btw its not a steam code but a code you use on the eso website to redeem the game.
I'm still kind of amazed at how frequently these guys are able to pump out meaty, fully voiced and, at least as far as morrowind goes, well written quests. The level of content for a solo player in this game is... freakish. Its a stark contrast to the many mmo's of the past which would often start with a bang, only to quickly fall off a cliff due to a lack of content.
I also think consoles have been amazing for this game and have kind of done wonders for the mmo genre, considering we have a modern, successful sub based mmo in FF 14 along with tESO.
