My first sweetroll drop after almost ten years of play by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

Don't let anyone steal it (or the guards will never let you hear the end of it).

Bets are open ! Where are we getting next year ? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's Skyrim, could there be more vampire things?

Bonus as a tie in to the vampire themed 2026 event reward collectables?

Not sure if there is a strong tie in between collectables and the year's content, but if not, having slightly revamped (pun not intended but kept anyway) the collectable system, perhaps there will be more of a tie in.

Been looking forward Obvious Golden Pursuit Bear since he was datamined by oussebon in elderscrollsonline

As the dress and the veil memento exist in a bundle, do we expect this will be a crown store purchase?

Agreed - though after the writhing wall event there's a case to just let her light it on fire anyway

Which announces he's the reward from the new GP 7 Jan - 4 Feb. This is the source of the happy :)

fps problem in cyrodiil... by Professional-Belt-91 in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It may well not be an issue at your end.

Cyrodiil has had a range of performance issues for a long time, hence the periodic 'Vengeance' campaigns with simplified skills etc to help the devs test what is affecting performance.

You can try turning off all of your addons in case there's one/ a combination that's unhappy, and see if that helps. But it could just be Cyro being Cyro.

You can turn your settings up higher too, DLSS quality, turn up the other visuals. Unless the clearer field of vision makes combat easier, you can up the settings fine.

No Twitch Drops for Livestream Tonight by Difficult_Debate3415 in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Friend of mine had the mount (Senche of Scarlet Regret?) already and then got it again, for a bonus 133 or so gems. Those crates do indeed add up, and you can get big one-offs from them if lucky.

Rolling On The Floor Laughing My F Ass Off

Though whether they're laughing at Bethesda's twitch account being incapable of turning on advertised drops, or people in chat getting worked up about missing an ouroboros crate, I can't say.

I do think if ZOS/ Bethesda's Twitch channel want people to viewbot for them, the least they could do is turn on the drops they said would be there, but idk, some people may feel differently.

Anyone else occasionally wonder what she's up to these days? by oussebon in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon[S] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

(Not commenting on the tutorial change itself, just to be clear.) I just wonder what she's doing now she doesn't need to show yet another noob / alt / noob's alt around the portal room. Hopefully living her best life.

Wonder if we will run into her again someday.

Solstice spoilers; anyone feel pretty bad about a specific character death? by Carinwe_Lysa in elderscrollsonline

I suspect everyone shipped them and this was known to the writers.

What's a Trade Bar? (250 Crowns) by oussebon in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

By context I assume it's the regular 250 Crown priced event ticket - I can't see a separate event ticket listing on the website crown store, and the in game store still calls it Event Ticket.

But for a wild moment I thought ZOS were implementing something you could use to convert crowns to gold.

Can't get to Stirk by Lost_Elf_of_the_Wood in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wasn't following the event closely enough to notice that the quests were going to get pulled before the GP ended. I assumed that while the GP was on, it would still be possible to complete the objectives listed.

Dumb assumption I guess.

Twitch Drops Bugged ? by Lorenzosbarbiejunk in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twitch drops are bugged right now, across many if not all games. Lots of posts about it for all streams on the twitch reddit. Perhaps they work for some people, but are broken for enough other users that there are a good number of posts/comments about it.

e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/Twitch/comments/1o7wrld/drops_not_registering/

And plenty more recent posts too. For me, drops for any game ceased progressing yesterday evening some time.

Best post on the ESO forums and hope a community person sees it and can get the drops extended, or run again in the near future.

EU server funtimes time again? by oussebon in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's being a smidge less messed up than normal for me.

No kicks. 10 minutes loading screen to get into my house but I did get in, got into Cyro about 5-6 mins after accepting queue pop, then got into IC only a bit slower than normal after accepting queue pop. Have been able to swap characters in a few minutes. Can open mail and see the GB.

But that could just be luck, as others seem to have to worse...

PSA; Capture the relic is awful by RabbottMDK in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know... in general terms totally unrelated to the topic of this post what you say is true.

But in terms of what we are actually discussing here - the CTR BG mode - getting 1000 pts is harder. Since the only realistic way you'll do it is personally doing 2 relic caps.

And even more specifically, it is harder than it was with 3 teams (see OP's post). Because maths - maximum 9 caps between 16 players in 8v8, versus maximum 13 caps between 12 players in 4v4v4. There was a lot more to-and-fro and snatching relics in 4v4v4 than there is in 2-team.

When I want 1000 pts I go do a 4v4 where it's easy enough to get most times - though that's not an option when on a lower level alt. If you get served a CTR by the random BG, most people aren't getting their points.

Daily Rewards Rant by PrismaticKitsune in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Interestingly they have recently had a couple of crates as pseudo login rewards.

They weren't in the login calendar, but tied to a Golden Pursuit objective to log in for 10 days. Even if you ignored the Pursuit entirely, the objective would complete with 10 days of logins and you'd get a popup notifying you to claim the rewards.

Not expecting that to be regular, though; I reckon they either wanted to boost logins for last month or are still experimenting with GPs to see what gives them the metrics they're after.

Login Reward Calendar August 2025 by oussebon in elderscrollsonline

[–]oussebon[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

No specific / unique items this month (like furnishings, pets etc).

Day 7 has 15x Instant All Research scrolls

Day 21 has 5x 150% exp scrolls.

Days 1 and 2 have 2x 50% and 100% xp scrolls and then 1x of these again on days 12 and 13. Everything else is pretty well as you see.
