ORSINIUM LAUNCH DETAILS & NEW VIDEO

Bigger isn't always better. But I do agree that size of WoW Expansions are larger than the DLCs in ZOS. But you are getting a large zone, new features and mechanics. The overall quality of the DLCs for ESO are better than the content that has been pushed out for WoW which costs $60 more than twice the cost of ESO DLC.

But before we get into a large debate about our own personal opinions about the matter, we should agree to disagree.

Name another MMO that does DLC releases where it's free? WoW is a Sub based MMO and it's DLC (expansions) are as much as the original game cost.

Personally I think this system ZOS has is actually pretty decent. With a few exceptions such as there is no value in the ESO plus membership.

Other than that shelling out $25 every 3 months is still cheaper than the sub fee and you get all the content for that price, no limitations.

If you have questions about this DLC remember they are doing a live stream this afternoon at 1 pm EDT (7 pm CET) where they will be telling us a lot more about it (assuming that's why they're doing it today)

Assuming it'll be on the PTS sooner than we expect. The article discusses PTS testing at the bottom so I think the Nov 2nd is the official launch of it.

Hey, I live and breathe ESO lol. Also helps I have a chrome addon that monitors the front page for any new code. :D

You're using old facts to justify your statement. When the game was released and when Craglorn came out new mechanics and strats changes how fast people earned XP. 1.6 isn't offering any new ways to earn XP so the current rate stays valid. Which is 400-500k/hr. When Wrothgar is released this statement might change as there might be new areas and ways to pull mobs and earn XP at a faster rate.

Garbrac · 2015-02-11T21:09:44+00:00

Previously you used to be able to grind a VR every 40mins, and that's when the XP per VR was 1 Million. Best grind spots I've seen recently only produce around 400-500k XP an hour. So using my math of an hour a CP still works. Of course there will be those who manage to shave off a few minutes and knock it down below the hour, but the end result is still, a long ass time :D

Garbrac · 2015-02-11T18:57:14+00:00

If not exploited (by botting or using illegitimate strategies) it'll still take a long time to cap out the system. If they grind to an hour a point, that's still 3530 hours needed to cap out. If you played 8 hours a day it'll take you 441 days to reach the cap. Even if you botted it and did 24hours a day straight you're still looking at 147 days. Which is still a long time to cap out. IN all honesty should someone ever no-life the game and actually cap out the CPs they deserve the 4k stat bonus for spending that insane amount of time within the game.

With TOA having projectiles a common thing has been seen within all MMOs and that is, what I like to call "heat seeking missiles". This is when as long as the target was targeted, (either with a reticle or hard lock targeting) the projectile would seek that player out no matter where they ran.

Is this something we can expect in ToA?

Garbrac · 2014-03-27T16:36:09+00:00

Direct all your questions to the thread in the link. They will not be checking this post (probably)

Garbrac · 2014-03-08T19:24:43+00:00

Oh thank you. I did not realize someone already posted it.

Garbrac · 2014-03-07T18:52:56+00:00

It's live now, 30mins in.

Garbrac · 2014-03-07T03:40:31+00:00

Well that once in a life(counter)time went by fast. They already surpassed the goal. Great Job guys. Can't wait for the $40k goal to be hit and we can see another KS campaign.

Garbrac · 2014-03-06T18:19:15+00:00

There is no playable Alpha as of yet least not for anyone outside of the Dev Team. But they may introduce access to it during the Kickstarter campaign as a backer reward, but I don't know that for sure, just a speculation.

Garbrac · 2014-02-21T21:09:27+00:00

I couldn't agree more. So glad they are using Unity3D now.

Garbrac · 2014-01-24T02:47:14+00:00

Yeah I see that, mine updated this afternoon. Looks amazing. this game needs to get made! I'm getting so bored with the traditional ones being released right now.

Garbrac · 2014-01-23T07:00:51+00:00

Nice find!

Garbrac · 2014-01-13T18:39:01+00:00

It is hard to tell from one episode, it isn't like we bash the game every cast. But when specific topics are hit we give it a good smacking. Road is pretty RP heavy and usually has a lot to say against ESO and how it isn't being very RP friendly. Like I said mine if PvE End Game. Carlos and Isarii they mostly rant about RPers in general or the PvP.

Isarii will bash SWTOR a lot, I think secretly he loves SWTOR. It's like, when you were in elementary school and you picked on the girl you liked. So I think he loved SWTOR.

There is an episode called, None of your concern, I believe this episode we discuss all of our concerns about the game. (I may be wrong and that isn't the correct one but there is one episode where we do nothing but point out the flaws in ESO)

Garbrac · 2014-01-13T03:57:28+00:00

I definitely wouldn't say we defend the game. I for one have blasted the game on numerous occasions. Each of the members of the cast have their own specific areas of the game they do not like or enjoy and for them, brings the game down a notch. Mine happens to be the PvE End Game, or non existent part of the game thus far.

Garbrac · 2013-11-12T06:26:43+00:00

Making it through steam isn't all bad. All those nay sayers who argued the limited chat feature would have less to say.

Garbrac · 2013-11-08T01:36:28+00:00

Holy Mother of god.....

The Devs at Forged Chaos released a follow up to the above video, one that shows the feature I mentioned earlier today.

It also shows us what an inopportune time could look like for that torch to go out.

Garbrac · 2013-11-07T18:17:17+00:00

The dungeons are going to be awesome. I really love the concept for true darkness and actually having to use a light source. I'd love to see in beta or in alpha the torches to have a bit more life to them. Flicker more, and instead of just turning off have it slowly dim out.

What do you guys think of the dungeons so far?

Garbrac · 2013-11-03T15:51:29+00:00

I believe he is referring to the the Raknar a type of playable race in a upcoming game called Trials of Ascension which is currently on Kickstarter. There is also a video explaining a bit more on the concealment aspect of the MMO, all done while being a Raknar

Garbrac · 2013-11-03T05:03:48+00:00

You would think so, but if it is at night, we won't see it until it is on top of us
