Weve been doing that since capitalism was born. Nothing new sadly. Albeit a few centuries ago we were using things like jade, wax figures, and wood chips
They charge way to much for stuff I was looking and some of it equals 20 dollars or more for an outfit or a horse to ride around the game, just one! I was like wtf I think you should get most of that just for paying the monthly esp plus fee
Thank you for the video, I just started playing ESO yesterday. I was, and still am totally lost lol but luckily found some other ok channels with good info, then I stumbled across your channel which I must say is top notch IMO. Your very well spoken, get to the point and kept it simple for us noobs, all without getting sidetracked once. I look forward to more ESO content and also subscribed, keep up the great content!
I've played for a while and I'm still completely lost, even in the very basics like spells or how to read a map. There's just way too much stuff thrown at you straight away.
yea i seen one that looked good but it was 3 hours i was thinking surely there has to be one with everything you need to know without being a movie and luckily was in the same boat with finding this video super helpful cause its been 3/4 years since I've played lol
playing since Beta and now playing the game with multiple accounts, I can tell for sure you don't need ESO plus or bankers from the shop, since everything is just a teleport away from a vendor or a banker you can find in any big city in each zone. As someone who has multiple accounts, I can send emails with crafting stuff or items to an other account when I'm out there in the world on in a dungeon or in trial and can't teleport back to town and sell the stuff on that account when I log into a specific char on that.I see lots of new ppl that really want stuff from the store and see the prices and just turn on the game for having a store, please, just ignore the store, you don't need anything from the crown store, it's a things that saves you 10 secs of traveling or not using an addon that can replace your armory assistant. All motifs in the store can be obtain from in-game play, the store only has some times saviers and 90 % of the other stuff is visual crap.It's the best store in any game I have ever played since I can ignore it so well. Just get into 5 guilds with hundreds of people ( with guild application settings you can do that in literally 5 min ) and traveling is free forever. And as an advice if you start playing ESO, play solo at first, think of the people as furniture, explore the world, the lore, the combat ( it's better then WOW or FF14 at least for me ), the interface( ppl still struggling to navigate it, at least it's much easiest then FFs ) and once you get the hang of things join a proper PVP or PVE guild and do the mmo stuff. ESO it's the best solo MMORPG out there that still rewards you way of gaming and not wasting your time. Content from 2014 is still relevant today(gear/lore/exploration etc), they don't kill content like others, they just add more stuff for you to do like any mmo should do. The only problem ESO has is that they "can't find " some servers that can run Cyrodiil well enough for you not to throw your keyboard at the screen :P, but BGs are super fun and relaxing, at least that part of PVP works. I play all the big 3 MMOS but since last year ESO become my nr.1 MMO. ( paying 4 subs in total currently , 2 for ESO(2 ESO+s + 3 simple accounts you can get with 6 bucks on the many occurring deals they have, I like the crafting and trading part of this game, ESO+ does help me save a bit of time but if you are a begginer don't focus on this), 1 WOW, 1 FF14, but probably will drop the WOW one after 12 years of non stop recurring subscription, that game is just sad now...)
"It's the best store in any game I have ever played since I can ignore it so well" How can you say that after having played ff14 where you gotta go out your way to access the store? I enjoy eso but the animations and combat are the most turning off thing about the game and the fact that so many playstyles feel the exact same. Most people on the net I see complain how bad the combat is, for me it's not the combat but running animation lol. Good game tho, for me at least.
All the best armor requires paying for the DLC after already buying the game. Just on principle alone that's wrong. Most big dungeon raid groups insist on your character having certain meta gear that can only be acquired through the DLC dungeons. Definitely a paywall separating the player base.
Thanks, I’ve been looking for a good guide to get into this game. I’ve tried in the past but the content was overwhelming so I never really gave it a chance. Now that I’m playing it and enjoying it so far this guide definitely helps me with a sense of direction and things I need to accomplish.
I started playing again after a break of nearly 2 years, and I'm enjoying ESO so much again! It was funny how much I still remembered while I also forgotten too much. Thank you for putting this gem up to help old and new players.
I started a few days ago and thank goodness I found this guide. It cleared a lot of smoke for me and now I can tackle some issues with more confidence and get the ball rolling. Thanks for the video.
I just bought ESO and never played it before or any MMO so this guide was super helpful. It was still kinda hard to understand some of the mechanics especially being a Skyrim veteran since day 1 but I really appreciate this video and definitely will be going back to it in the next few weeks lol.
I just got back into it after years away (stopped playing not long after morrowind came out) and i'm now really confused about a load of stuff because the games changed a lot
Not gonna lie, I've just hopped back into playing this game today ever since day 1 launch. Your beginner guide has helped me learn not to feel overwhelmed on finding a suitable build for myself, thank you.
Hello, I am really looking forward to playing this game For The 1st Time Ever. A friend and I had played FO 76 for about 2 years and lately got burned out. He has been playing this for about 3 weeks and told me just last night. So now I will start this game today. Thanks for this quick guild/ over view.
I use to work for ESO/Bethesda support chat in Austin and would have to play this game for player knowledge, whenever we would be slow. I don't know how you guys do it, I couldn't play it longer then a hour without getting confused and bored.. Even with all the access I had to the extra stuff in game like pets, costumes, and etc.. If you sent in a support ticket for account recovery back in 2018 we might've chatted 🙂
Your such an under appreciated channel, the amount of information and effort you put out for these games that so many people play, and yet your not even at a mil yet. Your a god. never stop✊
I've been an off and on player since morrowind released but never gotten incredibly into the game like I have with previous Elder Scrolls game, until now. Currently really enjoying it and got ESO + for the benefits, great video, so much information. Incredible, thanks for the great guide and keep up the work! I used to watch your Diablo 3 videos
Didn't make it past business model. If you like paying for a product, then paying for it again monthly, then buying extra crowns to pay for it again.. have fun.
highly informative vid a little confusing at times but i think that’s just because of the game you really helped me out thank you you’ve made a new eso player
thanx newbie here in 2022, game is amazing, and luckily I played Skyrim before so I am not totally unfamiliar with all mechanics but it's sill so much to do and it's overwhelming
I took a pretty long break and then got back in when I finished building my new pc. First thing that happened was an npc stopped me on a path and asked me to help because bandits were attacking and burning their home. So I went to help and it led to an entire quest chain! It was amazing. If I had that happen when I first started playing I probably never would’ve stopped lol.
Ill try im dumb as bricks lmao imo it gives me the same feeling when i play eso the builds are tight every area is gorgeous i like how the dungeons dont feel cookie cutter for example in 14 its like pull whole floor burn trash kill boss but in eso ur doing a quest the 1st run of every new dungeon u do my number1 thing id have to say the community. Has been on point and instead of basically silence or ur reported the raids are not just 4 boss fights their savage level content where u do a huge dungeon with ultra tuff trash and hella hard bosses theirs so much more i can say about it alls im saying is check it out its the dopest western style mmo besides wow.
I got back into it a few days ago after about 4 years away from it and the most frustrating thing are the changes to the cp system and that the cash/crown shop seems almost too mandatory now. Im not sure if I like or dislike that all my characters are pretty much best in slot geared after over 4 years away. I hoped for a new tier of gear or better/newer sets. Even saying those "negativ" things the game still is really enjoyable. Nostalgia hit me hard and tank que timers for public still only 2 seconds. 😂
this video is very important for those who are just starting to play TESO, I bought the game almost two weeks ago and this video showed me things that I had no idea the game had or things that I had no idea it was possible to do. I was thinking of buying a dlc but I'm not sure which one I should buy, I only bought the base game because I wasn't sure if I would like the game even though I played Skyrim and never finished it...
They need to make companion armor and weapons drop more 2 weeks and only found 3 pieces of armor for bastion same as mirri... helpful video tho keep it up bruv
I just bought the base game. Figured I would at least try it out for 5 bucks. I fear I will fall off this game rather quick if it is heavy on the microtransactions. Real turn off for me when everything just circles back around to spending real money. Thanks for the video. A lot to take in. Ready to start questing.
Microtransactions are mostly cosmetic the only thing I'd really recommend is ESO Plus it makes inventory management easier because ingredients go into crafting bag
And if you want to actually indulge in the PVP or group dungeon activities it will require you to get certain armor sets that require you to buy certain DLC. All the best armor sets are behind a paywall basically. And many if not most groups that raid dungeons require your character role to be equipped with these better armor sets. THAT'S where you will spend the money, to gain access to the region's and dungeons exclusive to the DLC
Just picked it up for 10 Australian bucks. Played Oblivion and a little bit of Skyrim but probably going to get the other expansions after completing the base game.
This is some useful information but I'm still left with some basic questions, where do I get a mount, how do I even find a major city, how would I find anything?
Usually most game versions come with a mount, or you can buy one at the stables elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Mounts - You will find towns very easily as quests take you there and the game has a full featured map with markers.
The only thing that I absolutely hate, is the training of mounts. With a maxed out mount on one character, its a daunting task to think it will take 6 months to max another on an alt, which completely pushes me away from wanting to do so.
I haven't played ESO yet, but I am considering buying the current High Isles CE to be able to get into all of it, or at least most of it :) Your guide is very helpful with this! I was wondering after watching, where the progress guide is. According to the video this should come in a few days after the video, but I can't seem to find a video after this one about it, nor can I seem to find on your site. Am I overlooking something. Thanks again!
Hey thank you for the guide, just wanna ask, can you play all the main story in multiplayer? and if you can, do we have to be in the same classes or alliances? Thank you
I came from wow so I'm used to stuff like this, just started 3 days ago on the 5 an lvl 30 now but i just bought the base game so far, but next payday I'm gonna get the eso + an get the other chapter's an the new chapter coming. So yeah I'm about to sink about a hundred an something on this game to catch up with stuff an get a few mounts i built a nightblade that is pretty decent haven't died once with her yet knock on wood i like the build i have going.
I’ve just started and still feel so lost. I feel like I’m walking around aimlessly until I can get myself onto a quest, but I keep getting into content that is too hard for my low level. Am I missing some obvious progression “main quests” or something? Do I just need to get good? Thanks for the great video
I might actually get back into playing it i haven't played it since it first came out. It's gonna be a long journey to get to where everyone else is at. Haha.
Been playing for a month but wish I would have watched this first. I been spreading my skill points wanting all the categories and selling items to make money. This video recommends focusing skills on one category and deconstructing items to progress. Am I behind now? The levels keep increasing so I don’t want to slow down progress (if that’s how it works).
Can you please explain how to get that UI at 2:39, the user interface from the left and the right. I have the base edition by the way. I remember 3 years ago i had that and I left the game, now I have come back and I cannot find out how to get a friendly UI where I can see my character with all possible accessory slots and weapons like the UI that you have at 2:39
It's been a long time since I've played this and I want to get back into it, but Caldwell's Silver is so confusing I can't figure out what to do. So I guess I should just start doing expansion quests.
In a way yes, but also no. You don’t have to do anything that includes a group, but you’ll see other people doing things along side you. Like if your quest says “go here and kill this thing” most places are open instanced therefore other players will be there to kill them as well
You can play it solo, but there are a lot of places where you'll need others so you don't die. It's not as fun as playing a stand-alone ESO game (like Skyrim or Morrowind) if you enjoy those experiences. I was hoping this would be like a stand-alone game +, but for me it was worse than stand-alone. I was also frustrated w/ the 25 quest limit as there's an NPC every 20 feet wanting to give you a quest.
So the expansions have to be bought anyway doesn't matter if i'm subscribed and the dlcs are not the same es expansions? Can i buy an upgrade to the blackwater pack even though i bought the base game back in 2014 or something?
The newest expansion isnt included in the sub till the next new expansion rolls out. Also if you buy the collection version of the newest expansion it'll give you access to all the other expansions you missed. Get the collection if you don't wanna do the sub. Or you can get the sub and just buy the newest expansion standalone, would be cheaper than the collection but then there's the reoccuring cost for membership which will cost more in the long run but provides bonuses to make your gameplay experience smoother.
@@matteomagnuson3318 Thank you for the response. But there are no difference between dlc and expansion? So all expansions include also for example thief guild quests? Or these are just in the sub? :S At least that's what it sounds like in the video. Besides i'm now playing the base game which i already own but i think i'm going to buy this High Isle LTO on steam and when i play regularly or a lot also a sub in addition.
@@MethodWive Expansions are like huge dlc chapters, the thieves guild and dark brotherhood are mini dlcs that you have to purchase seperately. the expansions dont include any other dlcs.
I didn't watch beyond the business model pricing. Still doesn't explain the point of subscription. But the main thing I was looking for was combat. Supposedly a beginners guide but zero info on combat for users who are looking into getting this game. WTF?
i think im so used to skyrim from playing it so much that ESO is just so overwhelming. i just started playing and have no idea what im doing, its also been so long since ive even played online w people that i have no friends to play with to help me through it 😅 SOS yall im just going with the flow here 😅😅😅
There's a few too many systems in this game still, the MTX should be simplified. Honestly in a lot of ways the game was better at launch in terms of the overall value of progression. Maybe veteran levels worked oddly but the champion point system is just another WoW infinite progression system spinoff (not popular). I want to return but the fact that you can just buy player housing, consumes, have to buy a million DLCs, the clunky guild store system etc. all get in the way of making a really cohesive game. It's hard to beat the subscription model, it presents an incentive for developers to constantly be working on new content that you just get by default (simplifying the player experience) while not abandoning the live service in favor of the next "expansion". Leveling 1-50 doing PvP on my second character in this game was definitely a blast with a friend, but then you get to 50 and find out the meta (among geared players at 50) is just these passive buff spam builds... the class balance and design at least the last time I played a couple of expansions ago needed work. I'm not seeing a lot of overhauls pertaining to that in patches.
Question for the people who've played the entire base game and most of the expansions. What should I do as a starting player: Start with the base game (600h?) or just start with one of the expansions? I work like 40hrs a week, so don't have much time to play the game.
It's not really that kind of game where you need to pick and choose. Play what you can when you can. The base game will last you a long, long time. But if you have an expansion, nothing is wrong with just playing that zone. It's mostly up to you and there's not many wrong ways to play the game.
It's probably a good idea to just buy the base game first... That will provide you with adequate content and took me 3 years of playing 2 hours a day... By the time I got through all of the base game... Craglorn was added to the base game, so I did not have to buy that DLC, which has been discontinued... By the time I got through Craglorn, the Orsinium DLC was added, then the Imperial City, then Summerset. If you check out the history of ZOS's release schedule, you'll find that there's about a two-year lag between the time content is released as a "chapter," and the time it is discontinued and included with the base game content...
Is it a good idea to play different dlc to level different character in order to not do the same things? I dont know what i have to do with 2nd character
It depends on how you play. I played my first character and did everything, and when I played I'd go back to them to do quests. Other characters I'd just go grind to max level in a few days, doing dungeons or whatever. In a game where accomplishments are a thing I think it's beneficial to have like a specific questing character.
For such a crucial game mechanic as crafting to require buying DLC first is insane. So a beginner who buys the base game is forced to keep buying dlc in order to progress and maximize their character's potential. Over half the armor and weapon sets worth a damn that make up the meta also require purchasing the monthly subscription of ESO plus. Whether it's dungeon raiding or PVP, you will be useless and no one will want to group up with you unless you have certain armor sets for the meta build for your specific race/role. But the armor sets they insist on you having can only be obtained by defeating the hardest dungeons that require a large group that ALSO will insist on certain armor set requirements in order to join their dungeon raid lol this game is a whale only game with ZERO place for casuals who don't want or have the money to dump in the dlc and subscription. I played it when it was first released and even with the server lag it was better because these things were not an issue and everyone was on a level playing field and able to join a group or party without being hindered by meta paywalls. Free to play players are like peasants that are shunned by the community.
Just wanted to add that undaunted chests are no longer a thing. Now you just talk to the pledgmasters. The inventory management has been enough to make people I know quit the game 😔
Holy.... CRAP does starting this game get crazy expensive. I need to spend real money to even play, more money to get expansions, MORE money on DLC, more money on basic things to make the game playable, and then you can start. New players are given the finger and told to enjoy it
yeah the most expensive right now is like 55$ which is everything inlcuded and collector edition items nothing too crazy compared to something liek wow or even ff14 while i love ff14 its expensive for the sub thats why i love swtor and elder scrolls online not needing a sub constantly is quite nice.

@@sandiskpink433 is it worth it? I’m thinking of buying the base game for ps5
Buying fake money with real money seems to be the trend of the century.
Weve been doing that since capitalism was born. Nothing new sadly.
Albeit a few centuries ago we were using things like jade, wax figures, and wood chips
The only thing separating real money from fake money is the belief in the value of that money
They charge way to much for stuff I was looking and some of it equals 20 dollars or more for an outfit or a horse to ride around the game, just one! I was like wtf I think you should get most of that just for paying the monthly esp plus fee

How does ESO compare to FF14? I really enjoy 14 but what was looking at ESO as something to try.
Ill try im dumb as bricks lmao imo it gives me the same feeling when i play eso the builds are tight every area is gorgeous i like how the dungeons dont feel cookie cutter for example in 14 its like pull whole floor burn trash kill boss but in eso ur doing a quest the 1st run of every new dungeon u do my number1 thing id have to say the community. Has been on point and instead of basically silence or ur reported the raids are not just 4 boss fights their savage level content where u do a huge dungeon with ultra tuff trash and hella hard bosses theirs so much more i can say about it alls im saying is check it out its the dopest western style mmo besides wow.
I got back into it a few days ago after about 4 years away from it and the most frustrating thing are the changes to the cp system and that the cash/crown shop seems almost too mandatory now. Im not sure if I like or dislike that all my characters are pretty much best in slot geared after over 4 years away. I hoped for a new tier of gear or better/newer sets. Even saying those "negativ" things the game still is really enjoyable. Nostalgia hit me hard and tank que timers for public still only 2 seconds. 😂
this video is very important for those who are just starting to play TESO, I bought the game almost two weeks ago and this video showed me things that I had no idea the game had or things that I had no idea it was possible to do.
I was thinking of buying a dlc but I'm not sure which one I should buy, I only bought the base game because I wasn't sure if I would like the game even though I played Skyrim and never finished it...
are you still playing it?
They need to make companion armor and weapons drop more 2 weeks and only found 3 pieces of armor for bastion same as mirri... helpful video tho keep it up bruv
Just got the game today and watched this for advice. Thank you for this🙂🙂
Fextralife doing the Gamer God's work!
I just bought the base game. Figured I would at least try it out for 5 bucks. I fear I will fall off this game rather quick if it is heavy on the microtransactions. Real turn off for me when everything just circles back around to spending real money. Thanks for the video. A lot to take in. Ready to start questing.
Microtransactions are mostly cosmetic the only thing I'd really recommend is ESO Plus it makes inventory management easier because ingredients go into crafting bag
And if you want to actually indulge in the PVP or group dungeon activities it will require you to get certain armor sets that require you to buy certain DLC. All the best armor sets are behind a paywall basically. And many if not most groups that raid dungeons require your character role to be equipped with these better armor sets. THAT'S where you will spend the money, to gain access to the region's and dungeons exclusive to the DLC
Just picked it up for 10 Australian bucks. Played Oblivion and a little bit of Skyrim but probably going to get the other expansions after completing the base game.
Same downloading now
Have the game since quite while, havent played it because got Lost: thanks for the guide
Have had the game for years, but just started playing and really needed this! Glad I went with Nord/Templar. Feel it'll be very balanced.
That's what I just started with as well!
Thinking of starting this game this week
Thanx for the info
Wow this was posted so recently, Thanks for this!
One thing I hate is that the stable bonuses doesn't carry over to another character it is such a pain
This is some useful information but I'm still left with some basic questions, where do I get a mount, how do I even find a major city, how would I find anything?
Usually most game versions come with a mount, or you can buy one at the stables elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Mounts - You will find towns very easily as quests take you there and the game has a full featured map with markers.
@@Fextralife Thanks! I think I just got overwhelmed, as he said in the vid. Will check out the info.
Great quality video , subbed fasho
Thinking of trying this tried once before had trouble with account creation
The only thing that I absolutely hate, is the training of mounts. With a maxed out mount on one character, its a daunting task to think it will take 6 months to max another on an alt, which completely pushes me away from wanting to do so.
Think I’ve got morrowind I’ve no idea what I’ve been doing just jumped in a random portal and help me please
I haven't played ESO yet, but I am considering buying the current High Isles CE to be able to get into all of it, or at least most of it :) Your guide is very helpful with this!
I was wondering after watching, where the progress guide is. According to the video this should come in a few days after the video, but I can't seem to find a video after this one about it, nor can I seem to find on your site. Am I overlooking something.
Thanks again!
I bought ESO, tamriel Unlimited.. is that basically "Standard version" for PS4?
Hey thank you for the guide, just wanna ask, can you play all the main story in multiplayer? and if you can, do we have to be in the same classes or alliances? Thank you
I came from wow so I'm used to stuff like this, just started 3 days ago on the 5 an lvl 30 now but i just bought the base game so far, but next payday I'm gonna get the eso + an get the other chapter's an the new chapter coming. So yeah I'm about to sink about a hundred an something on this game to catch up with stuff an get a few mounts i built a nightblade that is pretty decent haven't died once with her yet knock on wood i like the build i have going.
I’ve just started and still feel so lost. I feel like I’m walking around aimlessly until I can get myself onto a quest, but I keep getting into content that is too hard for my low level. Am I missing some obvious progression “main quests” or something? Do I just need to get good? Thanks for the great video
I just go into it like 2 days ago & realized I was doing side quest for a few hours before seeing the “Main Quest” in my journal
I might actually get back into playing it i haven't played it since it first came out. It's gonna be a long journey to get to where everyone else is at. Haha.
Such a fun game, happy I enjoy it. Thanks for the guides.
7:00 Is that hand-on-hip pose a personality? How are you getting your character to pose like that?
Been playing for a month but wish I would have watched this first. I been spreading my skill points wanting all the categories and selling items to make money. This video recommends focusing skills on one category and deconstructing items to progress. Am I behind now? The levels keep increasing so I don’t want to slow down progress (if that’s how it works).
Can you please explain how to get that UI at 2:39, the user interface from the left and the right. I have the base edition by the way. I remember 3 years ago i had that and I left the game, now I have come back and I cannot find out how to get a friendly UI where I can see my character with all possible accessory slots and weapons like the UI that you have at 2:39
Perfect timing for me just bought it ;)
Is it like Diablo or sorta like never winter
this is exactly what i been looking for! i'm just bought the black wood collector edition and about to start this help me alots also your fanpage
Blackwood isn't included in ESO+ and the warden and necromancer can only be acquired from the crown store now
Great tips and video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Damn thats an extensive game 😊 i do have the base game.
What a great video. Ive been hoping for this kind of guide for years. Thank You.
It's been a long time since I've played this and I want to get back into it, but Caldwell's Silver is so confusing I can't figure out what to do. So I guess I should just start doing expansion quests.
Just starting to play, any tips for a new necromancer?
What if i don’t want to play it as an MMO but as an RPG like any other ES game? Can i do that?
In a way yes, but also no. You don’t have to do anything that includes a group, but you’ll see other people doing things along side you. Like if your quest says “go here and kill this thing” most places are open instanced therefore other players will be there to kill them as well
You can play it solo, but there are a lot of places where you'll need others so you don't die. It's not as fun as playing a stand-alone ESO game (like Skyrim or Morrowind) if you enjoy those experiences. I was hoping this would be like a stand-alone game +, but for me it was worse than stand-alone. I was also frustrated w/ the 25 quest limit as there's an NPC every 20 feet wanting to give you a quest.
I'm only even getting it because I'm a anime nerd but I've been watching playthrews and it's just making me want to play it more
Great guide!
Cas and Romeo and Yuria sent me 😉 thanks for everything. A true force to reckon with
So the expansions have to be bought anyway doesn't matter if i'm subscribed and the dlcs are not the same es expansions? Can i buy an upgrade to the blackwater pack even though i bought the base game back in 2014 or something?
The newest expansion isnt included in the sub till the next new expansion rolls out.
Also if you buy the collection version of the newest expansion it'll give you access to all the other expansions you missed.
Get the collection if you don't wanna do the sub.
Or you can get the sub and just buy the newest expansion standalone, would be cheaper than the collection but then there's the reoccuring cost for membership which will cost more in the long run but provides bonuses to make your gameplay experience smoother.
@@matteomagnuson3318 Thank you for the response. But there are no difference between dlc and expansion? So all expansions include also for example thief guild quests? Or these are just in the sub? :S At least that's what it sounds like in the video. Besides i'm now playing the base game which i already own but i think i'm going to buy this High Isle LTO on steam and when i play regularly or a lot also a sub in addition.
@@MethodWive Expansions are like huge dlc chapters, the thieves guild and dark brotherhood are mini dlcs that you have to purchase seperately. the expansions dont include any other dlcs.
Great video!
I didn't watch beyond the business model pricing. Still doesn't explain the point of subscription. But the main thing I was looking for was combat. Supposedly a beginners guide but zero info on combat for users who are looking into getting this game. WTF?
i think im so used to skyrim from playing it so much that ESO is just so overwhelming. i just started playing and have no idea what im doing, its also been so long since ive even played online w people that i have no friends to play with to help me through it 😅 SOS yall im just going with the flow here 😅😅😅
*New DLC is also coming soon, we going to a new Location!*
There's a few too many systems in this game still, the MTX should be simplified. Honestly in a lot of ways the game was better at launch in terms of the overall value of progression. Maybe veteran levels worked oddly but the champion point system is just another WoW infinite progression system spinoff (not popular). I want to return but the fact that you can just buy player housing, consumes, have to buy a million DLCs, the clunky guild store system etc. all get in the way of making a really cohesive game. It's hard to beat the subscription model, it presents an incentive for developers to constantly be working on new content that you just get by default (simplifying the player experience) while not abandoning the live service in favor of the next "expansion".
Leveling 1-50 doing PvP on my second character in this game was definitely a blast with a friend, but then you get to 50 and find out the meta (among geared players at 50) is just these passive buff spam builds... the class balance and design at least the last time I played a couple of expansions ago needed work. I'm not seeing a lot of overhauls pertaining to that in patches.
Question for the people who've played the entire base game and most of the expansions. What should I do as a starting player: Start with the base game (600h?) or just start with one of the expansions? I work like 40hrs a week, so don't have much time to play the game.
It's not really that kind of game where you need to pick and choose. Play what you can when you can. The base game will last you a long, long time. But if you have an expansion, nothing is wrong with just playing that zone. It's mostly up to you and there's not many wrong ways to play the game.
Just bought ESO standard January 1st
I’m a returning player with loads of equipment and like 200 champion points….i forgot everything after 3.5yrs. Thanks lol
I started this on series x 2 days ago tamriel unlimited is on gamepass, im just worried how long it will take to max lvl
You can't buy skill lines until you max it first! And yes don't buy it either way.
Amazing guide
It's probably a good idea to just buy the base game first... That will provide you with adequate content and took me 3 years of playing 2 hours a day... By the time I got through all of the base game... Craglorn was added to the base game, so I did not have to buy that DLC, which has been discontinued... By the time I got through Craglorn, the Orsinium DLC was added, then the Imperial City, then Summerset. If you check out the history of ZOS's release schedule, you'll find that there's about a two-year lag between the time content is released as a "chapter," and the time it is discontinued and included with the base game content...
Is it a good idea to play different dlc to level different character in order to not do the same things? I dont know what i have to do with 2nd character
It depends on how you play. I played my first character and did everything, and when I played I'd go back to them to do quests. Other characters I'd just go grind to max level in a few days, doing dungeons or whatever. In a game where accomplishments are a thing I think it's beneficial to have like a specific questing character.
my first experience with a game with( in game purchases )- wow - "the more profitable the game is for the developers ,the worse the user experience"
This game is currently on sale on steam!
ESO’s UI on PC is so much better. I’m so jealous.
For such a crucial game mechanic as crafting to require buying DLC first is insane. So a beginner who buys the base game is forced to keep buying dlc in order to progress and maximize their character's potential. Over half the armor and weapon sets worth a damn that make up the meta also require purchasing the monthly subscription of ESO plus. Whether it's dungeon raiding or PVP, you will be useless and no one will want to group up with you unless you have certain armor sets for the meta build for your specific race/role. But the armor sets they insist on you having can only be obtained by defeating the hardest dungeons that require a large group that ALSO will insist on certain armor set requirements in order to join their dungeon raid lol this game is a whale only game with ZERO place for casuals who don't want or have the money to dump in the dlc and subscription. I played it when it was first released and even with the server lag it was better because these things were not an issue and everyone was on a level playing field and able to join a group or party without being hindered by meta paywalls. Free to play players are like peasants that are shunned by the community.
Just wanted to add that undaunted chests are no longer a thing. Now you just talk to the pledgmasters.
The inventory management has been enough to make people I know quit the game 😔
Awesome recap!
Holy.... CRAP does starting this game get crazy expensive. I need to spend real money to even play, more money to get expansions, MORE money on DLC, more money on basic things to make the game playable, and then you can start. New players are given the finger and told to enjoy it
The game costs like 10 bucks lmao. Ofc you have to pay to enjoy the work product of other people.
yeah the most expensive right now is like 55$ which is everything inlcuded and collector edition items nothing too crazy compared to something liek wow or even ff14 while i love ff14 its expensive for the sub thats why i love swtor and elder scrolls online not needing a sub constantly is quite nice.
Yes I would love to spend days doing side quests that feel like main story quests with great VA…send help
