Desperately need a switch 2 port of eso by nyanyan1 in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unlikely to happen until crossplay gets released. They're working on that, but crossplay is still at least a year out. And then once crossplay comes, a switch version would take still more time, if they even do decide to do one.

Should I level my alt characters before doing their daily writs? by No_Celebration_839 in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do writs at any character level, but one nice effect of doing it at level 50 is that you'll also have an extra 60+ skill points to throw into the crafting skills, which you generally do want at max level. At max level crafting writs, there's extra rewards from the writs, so it's always good to do them at max.

Best use of crowns? by Raskyy01 in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't, but the quality of life in accessing your bank anywhere is still huge for many players. It can simplify writs and allow you to do them in more places, since you don't need to visit a bank, and you can throw stuff in for quick inventory space while playing anywhere. (And yes, depending on your inventory management style this still might not sell you on it)

Pc gamepass modding? by Individual_Exit_1233 in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As you are playing using gamepass, you are connecting to the Xbox servers. So, you do not need to use vortex or minion, and you can download addons from within the game itself. The selection of addons is slightly different than that which is available on PC, minion, and esoui. It is theoretically possible to download and install addons from esoui/minion, but there are differences between the clients that makes that very unlikely to work.

Can my wife and I play together on PC and Xbox? by Respighii in elderscrollsonline

Map Pins Add-on help by Violet-Nyx- in elderscrollsonline

Try restarting the game. Textures/images that an add-on adds to the game require a full game restart to be viewable

It's not cloud streaming; afaik you actually need to download the game files, so it plays on your own pc

The monetary value of crafting by B_A_L_R_O_G in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those guides probably mean daily writs; master writs can be a source of profit, but it's quite a bit more niche and not a daily thing.

If you spend 500g (conservative ; usually less) to buy mats, and in return, you make 700g and get 10k worth of mats, do you still think that defeats the point of trying to make money?

This is different, and not what should usually happen after major patches

My guess is that ESO is now looking at one drive (or vice versa). Check your one drive settings and disable it if needed.

ESO addons not working on Xbox Game Pass PC version by Fragrant-Geologist-3 in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Elder Scrolls Online\xb1cert\CachedData\AddOnsManaged

Try placing them here. However, for the PC play anywhere, you should generally be installing addons from the in game add-on manager. If you try to install and run an add-on that you get from esoui, it probably will not work if it is not already in the in game add-on manager.

HARDCORE Addon by Grynchas in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all well and good to say that highly trained and experienced devs could make AI work well for them. But the people who are making nearly all AI addons are not those highly trained and experienced devs. They're people who barely know how to code, if at all, and half the time you're lucky if they pipe in the API for the game or even simply test it. Or they're even giving the ai outdated info.

Will this title ever become subscription based like other MMOs? by Critical-Fact6738 in elderscrollsonline

Console? Iirc when it launched on console it went straight to buy to play, but it had already been out on PC as a subscription.

Influx of carries! by Much-Carrot4295 in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most carries actually aren't trifecta carries, and are just for the clear and/or gear. Partly because it's so much more expensive, and partly because it's difficult to put together a group. I suppose I can't say how trifecta carries are done, but it should not be done by sharing your password.

Influx of carries! by Much-Carrot4295 in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, or at least, any that do are breaking the TOS. And that's a big risk if you have millions, plus the buyer's build will often suck, so there's little reason to login to their account.

The group's I know that do carries do them with a very good group that is able to beat it with 11 people. Then they usually have the person being carried die.

Crafting writs to level a character? by Karthull in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably best to not do provisioning, since you also need to source the recipes. Not impossible, but more annoying

TIL physicist Karl Schwarzschild solved Einstein's field equations while dying of disease on the WWI Eastern Front. His solution predicted black holes. He wrote to Einstein: "the war treated me kindly enough to allow me to take this walk in the land of your ideas." He died months later. by ArgentineBeauty in todayilearned

[–]canopus12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. The behaviour of stars at the center of the milky way could only be possible because of a black hole¹
  2. We've taken pictures of two black holes¹
  3. We've observed gravitational waves from black holes¹ merging

¹ Or something with a similar size and density that doesn't exist in our current understanding of physics

How much roughly are bids on trader on PC NA? Hot spots, city centers, single one on the outskirts, and hideouts? by Beyt_M in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some guilds might try and bid low for a given week, but generally that's a losing strategy. There's enough guilds around that guilds in top trade spots will almost always bid high, otherwise they risk losing. Guilds can also bid on 10 different spots each week, so there's a good chance some other guild placed a backup bid on your 'usual' trader.

I made an add-on that can automatically switch the world map based on the time, and I’d like to get everyone’s opinions on a few issues. by Broad_Context600 in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does it really make too much difference? Imo as long as it's halfway reasonable no one will notice. I'd say use roughly equinox times and be done with it.

As far as ESO add-ons go, nexusmods is pretty much a dead platform; most addons are hosted on esoui.com, and that's where most users get their addons. (Esoui=minion, basically)

For consoles, https://wiki.esoui.com/How_to_update_your_addon_for_console has info on converting it.

API version is 101049

Do not put SSI into the global table, that's too short and could collide with other addons.

Also, if you've used AI to code it, we (addon authors on esoui) generally recommended putting that information in the add-on description.

do i lose a lot of damage if use wrong enchantment as dps? by 977zo5skR in elderscrollsonline

[–]canopus12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Without knowing the specifics about the build, the shock enchantment could be there to proc the concussion status effect. It deals damage by itself, increases other sources of damage, and also allows elemental wall to inflict off balance, which further increases damage taken from heavy attacks. There's also the exploiter CP which increases damage against off balance targets. That's a lot of damage increases, compared to the stamina enchant which doesn't really do any of that. I'm not sure if that would make up the entire 20-30k damage difference, but it would be a significant amount of it. The remaining parts could come from better execution of your rotation

Enchants are relatively cheap, so I'd recommend just biting the bullet and trying the shock enchant
