in the topic TamrielVault, I need you... for a history of the TES fandom! in the forum Elder Scrolls

My first game was Oblivion somewhere in the latter half of 7th gen consoles. I didn’t like it, and I didn’t really pay any attention to TES before seeing the Skyrim trailer. Fallout with swords looked likeit might actually work that time. And it did! Love Skyrim. It’s one of the few games I can say I’ve been obsessed with. This is the site that had all the answers to the questions I had, though I never asked them. I just watched the threads where other members asked those questions, and kept up with the newest posts. I lurked here for a year before joining. This is the one and only TES platform I’ve used. Before this site, I used Gamespot, and even then I only used it through google. By “new games” I assume you mean FO76 and the TES VI picture at E3. Duuude. They’re pissed. A lot of them. Are piiiiissed. That’s not even what I think; it’s just a fact. But if ESO counts, then as far I’m aware, it’s still going strong. ESO was a good comeback story, now only to be topped by Bethesda rocketing themselves out of this grave they’ve dug themselves into.

Closer to the west coast than I'd like to be. No one here uses their turn signal.

Paws said: Cyrodiil is pretty good fun, no doubt about it, and so definitely worth watching for the almighty sieges as factions attack and attempt to take other player-controlled fortifications. Catapults, trebuchets, balistae are all used to make it a proper siege! A lot of the learning curve is the lingo used. When I played the other day, I said to my group that it was like they were using a different language. Everything is an abbreviation: The command issued by a leader might be to attack Castle Alessia, but that command would be abbrevaited to "siege Aless bd." I'm like, "are you telling me to smash in Alessia's back door?" Bad experiences in any type of activity where other players are present is a sad but unavoidable fact of the game. I could just as easily pug a dungeon and regret it. I'll likely go back into pvp at some point, it's too much fun not to, but it might be ronin-style play. The zone is so big that you don't need to engage in taking forts and can have a good time just getting your backside handed to you by other players in the wilds :D LOL. Smash Alessia's back door. That's great. Have you and the other ESO players here ever done a group PvP thing? Like 4v4 or something? It seems like terrain would matter a lot. Maps can make or break competitive games.

I like the "emergency Fallout 3 remake" idea.

Paws said: Yep, totally this. Legion, you're not alone in needing it explained like you're 2 :D PVE (player versus enviroment) is a different animal to PVP (player versus player) and some things you take for granted in one aspect of the game don't always apply to the other. So a new ESO player can sometimes face what feels like three daunting challenges: Learning the mechanics of how skills work in casual or solo content; knowing what is considered optimal and how to achieve it for group content in order to feel like they're not letting anyone down; and finding out all those things again and how they vary for PVP. The game has come on leaps and bounds in the last year or so in terms of how it informs the player (such as the Skills Advisor tool to aid in choosing what skills to pick) but often a player's own research and guides made by the community are what that person needs in order to learn and understand. So it's like, I might be able to answer basic questions about PVE aspects of the game and link players to guides or information I have found helpful, but I wouldn't be able to reliably answer questions regarding PVP. I've yet to master the basics, and find my own sensitivity is the greatest hurdle to overcome in order to achieve that. I went back into Cyrodiil properly very recently for the first time since last year's Midyear Mayhem. I had a good time, learnt a lot... Then an argument broke out between the group I was running with and the person acting as commander for the entire faction: A guy in my group had called out to us privately that the attack on a keep in our control was just a "flagger" (a term I learnt meant a single person attacking keep in order to flag it being under attack and cause the faction holding it to divert resources for its defence). Somehow the faction commander (I guess that's what they're called) found out my group member knew it but didn't call out the info to the entire zone. So she pulled him up on it and dressed him down for not saying anything, and of course he got defensive... In the end I said to the zone that he did tell us and that I could have just as easily informed everyone myself. The moment I felt the need to apologise for something I didn't do wrong was the moment I said "fuck this pvp shit" for the second time in a year :D I digress :D The important thing here is that there is a lot to learn in the game, and PVPers are probably the minority. So The Lex saying he likes to PVP is a shorthand way of saying he has overcome the hurdles the likes of me have yet to, and can thus provide advice on all aspects of the game as a whole and the nuances of each individual aspect :) Alright, I think I'm starting to get it. I thought PvP was just people beating the shit out of each other in 1v1 ad hoc arenas. I didn't think there was a military style hierarchy and division of forces, let alone base assaults. That's pretty insane, I'd be down to see some of that. More strategy and less button mashing is a good selling point. And yeah, it's all a bit overwhelming. The thing I struggled with most from beginning to end wasn't just choosing skills, but remembering where I hotkeyed them and hitting them at the right time, while I'm aiming at the right thing. It was like learning to play guitar. I've never heard anyone else complain about that, so maybe it's not as big a deal to others. Though obviously that just comes with practice, which I did not. Sorry to hear your PvP experience went down like that though. You get points from me for even attempting to work with people on that scale.
