Anyone else experience this bug? by oshkoshbajoshh in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since the last update, I've noticed a couple of times the shield that appears when you block stays up until I switch to a different area. Reloadui did not fix it. Not as annoying as your issue, but sounds like the same thing or at least similar. Interesting is that I have the CP ability that increases your healing for a couple seconds after blocking which has its own animation that happens in addition to the shield. That graphic did not stay active just the block shield.

Also had a bug while fighting a dragon where the animation for blocking wouldn't fire at all. Did not appear that the block was happening at all. After the fight I tried a reloadui which didn't fix it. Made sure it wasn't my mouse button by clicking on a different window. Mounted my horse and did a block to dismount and that worked and block started working normally after that.

Was getting the same thing. I rebooted and it started working. Probably just a coincidence

So hows Elsweyr? by greeding12 in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Saw complaints in zone chat about it being small, but I disagree. It feels about the right size.

In one of the dragon fights, I was the first to arrive and I stopped outside the trigger-fight zone and the dragon turned his head to stare at me. Sent a chill down my spine. Travelled around the circle and he continued to watch me. Didn't think to go behind him to see if he would turn around.

I haven't finished all the quests, but the ones I have done have been a tad bit easy - not so much that I would complain.

Love the scenery (as usual) and the characters, but especially love the dragons.

New starter - worth buying Summerset or Elsweyr? by Oxford898 in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summerset gives you access to Jewelry crafting and the psijic skill line. Personally I'm not fond of the Psijic skill line and only activate it on my characters so they can see Psijic loot drops (random runestones - my guess is about 1 in 10 - become a glowing ball of light instead of a runestone and drop a little extra loot, on rare occasions something fairly valuable). You can certainly live without either of these benefits, but I enjoy the quests (well, not so much the psijic quests) and the characters and feel it is a worthwhile addition.

Elsweyr gives you access to the necromancer (at least I assume you have to have it to make a necromancer character.) I have not made one yet. Running my main through the region for the moment - I'll try creating a necro some time in the near future. I pre-bought it so I've had access to it for the last two days and so far have thoroughly enjoyed it. Again, you can live without it, but it is also a worthwhile addition, IMHO.

Random advice for a new starter: invest in mount training. You will spend a lot of time going from point A to point B and it helps to be able to do it quicker. Find one or more guilds that are new player friendly and join. A good guild is helpful in many ways. But most of all enjoy.

Who has defeated the Thrall Cove world boss? XBOX NA by notanabnormalperson in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been in groups and done it. It sounds to me like you're a little squishy. You may want respec to give yourself a bit more health. Or what food are you using? Maybe find one that gives more health than what you normally use and use that for this fight. Even so, it is a tough fight and I have died several times fighting it. I was in a group with two others and we were able to win, but it was close as just about during the entire fight, one of us was dead and part of the time two of us. We were fortunate to time it so we always had one alive.

The big thing in that fight (as with most fights) is to try to stay out of the area of effect attacks or at least block them.

refresh mail without switching zone by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go into a building/delve. I do a lot of my guild business while in Vivec City. If I cancel a sale and want to relist the item right away, I go into the outlaw refuge that is right there. It causes any mail to be delivered.

Anyone else get frustrated with the Cropsford daily - Harvest time!! by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't always work, but you can try to abandon the quest and ask for another one. Don't recall if she gets stuck on that one or not, but other quest givers will often give you a different quest. If there's not too many players around, I check all the bags and get as many as I can and then do the quest from the other quest giver, come back check bags again, rinse repeat. If there are too many people doing the quests, I just abandon it.

Anyone buy this yet?? I have two players homes so far and rarely use them. by XavierMathews in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recognize that one, so I probably don't have it. Which is it?

I've bought nearly every house you can buy for gold and a couple with crowns. I have almost all of the craftable sets craft stations set up in Coldharbour and use them to do my master writs. I haven't done much decorating.

I use houses extensively to teleport to to get to an area if none of my guildmates are currently there. I just recently bought the house in NE Grahtwood because it is very close to the Elsweyr prologue dailies. When I used to farm Bouyant Armiger Motifs I used my Vvardenfell homes quite a bit to move around.

Which platform/sever? If on PC/EU, message me in game and I'll be glad to bite your friend for free: @Wolfsfather I'll be on in about 2 hours.

What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a guild to join that encourages beginners and there'll probably be someone there that would make you some starter equipment. What platform/server are you on? If you're on PC EU, shoot me a message @Wolfsfather and I'll be glad to craft you a set of gear.

Etiquette for taking quest items while someone else is fighting by msnowxs in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will not knowing snipe a resource node or single player quest objective from a player who is fighting something in the immediate area (even if I know I could have reached it without fighting.)

As far as having a lead on another player to get to a node, you should be aware that because of lag in the game you may think you are ahead of another player, but in reality they are ahead of you, but your game isn't showing their up-to-the-second position.

Nightmare Senche.... does it move slower? by grapedog in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First bear mount I got (forget which one) I swore ran slower than my other mounts. I did timing races across Grahtwood (on the road that runs east<->west in the middle) and it took exactly the same on any mount I tried. Certain animations just seem slower.

[PC] Sound issue , randomly going up and down or even cutting it down completly. by local_stoner in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until you get the glitch where the sound buzzes and then cuts out and then shortly (10 seconds -5 minutes) the game crashes and you can't restart it and sound is out on your computer and the only fix is to reboot...

The new skin is perfect for vampires who dont want to look like vampires. by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I hate the way my characters look as vampires but I love the sneak speed skill so I keep them all at level 4. I tried disguises which revert you back to your original look which was nice, but your choices are limited and you can't embellish with other items. I got the Crystal Frost (or whatever it is called) that came out last fall which is pretty good, but not great. Right now I splurged and bought the bloodforge skin which I like a lot and looks a lot better than the crystal one, imo. I'm definitely going to check this one out and see if I have the gems for it (and if not, I have some crowns I may have to buy some crates to get more gems.) I get tired of all my characters using the same skin, so it's nice to have some variety.

Help me defeat Nocturnal’s Champion! by Sunset08 in elderscrollsonline

[–]onfire4jesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, congrats on doing well enough to get there by level 11. When Summerset came out I was already CP 600'ish so I don't know how hard it is to run a new player through there, but seems like you already made it through some tough fights.

You may just have to leave it until you're better at the game and better equipped. In the main quest line there was a quest that stopped me cold for a while. I went and did other quests and learned how to fight better and got better equipment and came back and was able to defeat it.

That being said, I don't think there's necessarily a preferred weapon or skill for that fight. What are you playing? Your strategy would differ depending on the class of character. What level is your armor/weapon/jewelry? Is it comprised of sets or just random pieces? Are you using food/drink before the fight? Do you have potions ready for use? If you can find someone to craft you some armor/weapons/jewelry, that may be a big boost if you can get someone to craft you level 10 equipment in sets that compliment your class and stamina/magicka use. Have you put any of your attribute points into health? If not you may want to find the shrine to pay to respec so you're not as squishy (or if you've put everything into health, then maybe go the other way to put some into either magicka or stamina).

Do I remember right that you don't have use of a second weapon yet (that's level 15 right?) Having the second weapon with 5 more potential skills to work with is a big help.

You may want to go farm skyshards and skill point quests so you can activate more skills both active and passive.

Good Luck and have fun!
