I find this a bit more engaging than Guild Wars 2, but it is trying to suck me into its inventory/crafting hellscape.

Sooo back in the game, did anyone get access to the guild? If so, please add me =) @KristinaKraah (if it’s the username that’s needed)

4529

I tried to add you as a friend but it says: “Account not found”.
Are there different servers for the EU/USA? (I’m assuming yes).
I’m on the USA server. Unfortunately I’ve not been able to get into the guild either (yet).
Are there any guildies around who can add us? :)

EDIT:
There are 2 “mega servers”.
NA - North America
EU - European

You can change your server in the in game menu before you log in.

Ahh yeah of course, I’ll have to switch to the North America server then!

I haven’t checked recently but I will look at the guild listing to see if anyone has gotten invited. The issue with the Qt3 guild organization is that you can’t promote someone to the rank you’re at, and we have 4 ranks only (Leader, Officer, Member, Recruit). So only someone who is Officer rank can promote people to Member (which is the lowest rank who can invite).

So the solution as I see it is…

  • have the guild leader (@Jason_McMaster I believe) promote someone who’s playing to officer, or
  • change the guild ranks so Recruits can invite

The first solution is preferred since I don’t think recruits can use the guild bank (not 100% sure on this tho).

Sorry. Forgot to come back to the thread…I had some trouble updating the ESO client. It failed to the point where it was going to force me to re-install the whole thing, and I wasn’t really feeling up to having my bandwidth drained for another 70gig download that day.

I’m re-updating now, so hopefully I can get in today and add some people to the guild.

4533

Hey, sorry, this was my bad. I’ll download the thing today and see if I can get into the client

I log-in every day to train mounts on an alt and get the free log-in rewards, but haven’t played in many months. One thing that really strikes me about ESO is how the character models behave on irregular surfaces. Their feet don’t clip through the ground or float in mid-air unnaturally, they align to the ground. That’s really cool.

4535

Yeah, that’s the one thing I thought was slick. I also like some of the atmosphere in the game.

4536

Installing the game now

Anyone tinker with the housing? It’s pointless, but surprisingly comprehensive. I brought one on a whim, and started wondering if I could defend the wide open beach with ballistas. You can! Various siege props are unlocked based on your alliance war rank. Just cosmetic of course, but still sort of neat. Some people have built some pretty impressive stuff with the housing system. Like Minecraft, except you pay exorbitantly for each building block.

(ps. everyone go try battlegrounds.)

4538

OK, everyone who provided a username invited. Everyone else promoted to Member which allows other invitations.

4539

OK, @Charlatan is now the GM of the guild. Enjoy folks! Sorry it took me so long.

4540

Thanks guys! :)

If anyone else wants to join us please drop in.
It’ll be nice to have some more company.

4541

Thanks! Free Drinks For Everyone!!

4542

In the guild, thanks Charlatan and Jason!

4543

Umm yeah apparently, you can’t just switch servers, you have to start with a new character…
But hey, maybe I’ll try a Khajiit then =)

Since there are a number of new players here, I thought I’d mention ESO’s addons. Just as with the single-player games, ESO has a lot of addons that improve quality of life.

First off, there is an external program used to manage addons. It’s called Minion. Discourse very nicely reminds me that @stusser talked about this back in May but there are new people around since then.

Crucial addons I use are:

  • Craftstore Wolfhunter - lets you monitor your crafting research progress. Quite useful if you have multiple characters who craft
  • Dolgubon’s Lazy Writ Crafter - makes completing the daily crafting quests a one-click process
  • HarvestMap - marks on your map wherever you harvest something. Puts big floaty markers in the world when you get near too, so you can see where you’ve harvested something before.
  • Lui Extended - a UI makeover that adds a status bar, a cast bar, and lets you customize the health/mana/stamina bars for you, your group, and enemies.
  • Map Pins - puts markers on your map for everything - skyshards, lore books, dungeon bosses.
  • pChat - the one thing this does that I need is timestamps in chat. Without it, I look at my chat log and wonder “did this guy say he needed help 2 minutes ago or 20 minutes ago?”
  • Potion Maker - presents a nice interface for making potions.
  • Urich’s Skill Point Finder - shows a summary of your character indicating where they have and have not acquired skill points/skyshards per zone, dungeon, public dungeon, etc. Really useful if you’re into zone completion.
  • Votan’s Minimap - the best minimap.

I actually have more but those are the crucial ones!

4545

Great post! :)
I’d also like to add:

  • Awesome Guild Store - gives you a better guild store ui
  • Harvens Research Timers - watch your research tick down in real time ;)

One last tip before I get going in the workday: when you’re in a guild, you can port to any other online guild member without grouping or even letting them know you’re doing it. If you’re a low level player and need some waypoints, just port to another guild member and you’ll be placed in the zone at the closest waypoint to your guild mate. This is a great way to get a jumpstart on a zone you’ve never been to before.
