Yes, thanks for keeping us updated, hazmick!

Oh, I love your festive screenshot of the month! It looks like it could be in Skywatch?

Bingo! It isn't summer without a festival.

Wow, I’d say the language was justified on the subject of Onslaught! Jerric’s reaction was a gleeful chuckle/knuckle crack. His back bar right now is on a greatsword. I can see playing hopscotch with Critical Rush and Onslaught. I wonder if that will get changed again before the update is official.

The Destruction Staff ultimate looked pretty awesome. Darnand hasn’t bothered to put an Ultimate on his bars since the last update, since he hasn’t really needed one. He will spend a carefully hoarded skill point on that, I’m sure!

The Restoration Staff ones sound pretty awesome, too. Wow, this is exciting!

Thank you for the news, hazmick!


Party in Skywatch! That's a great festive screenshot, hazmick!

Great shot of the month, Hazmick! And Grits - Awesome beauty and solitude of that shot; those are some of my favorite in game places! (until the wisps show up, lol.) The screen of the month shot of Buffy is so spot on, she looks exactly like herself! I Calia met her in game yesterday!!!!!

Thanks, mALX! That was a magical moment.

Yay for Calia meeting Buffy in person! That's so awesome!

Bold: Isn't it? I've felt that up in the Jeralls in Obivion; felt it in the DC Wasteland; in several places in Skyrim; and several now in ESO. It just feels like in that place they have somehow stumbled into the realm where the gods come for a quiet moment - solitude. It is one of the things solo play can give you that would be ruined by a group wanting to hurry past the moment.

Meeting Buffy was so AWESOME !!!! She was/is just like in her stories and on her Potpourri; and boy was she wicked with her bow!!!!! She had Superian and Kitsune - she was the Buffy I've known for so long - VERY cool !!!!!

I've never grouped with other players before, as the game does single player just fine. But Buffy and I had a blast playing with mALX and Calia yesterday. Calia is beautiful and wicked with her dual blades and red hair trailing behind. MALX was so patient and helpful as my grouping and chatting learning curve really went up. Thank you, mALX! And thanks for your kind words about Buffy - she does feel pretty 'right' to me in game also.

It was a ton of fun for me!!!!

A new video by Elloa, showing off the Alliance War horse, dog, and rider costume.

The items haven't been officially announced, and were discovered by players on the PTS. Nobody knows when/if they'll be announced or released.

Thanks for the link, hazmick! These things look neat, especially the Dominion mastiff flopping down to rest.

These are amazing!!! But oh...I see those horse armors costing some Player lives! The "Dogs of War, though = dead on accurate! I had to research them because they are one of the four bloodlines that were the foundation for the Catahoula dogs that I was breeding to sell - so really cool they put that touch in there!!!

That is Awesome, Hazmick!!!! Thanks for the link!!!

I’m putting this here because I couldn’t find it and never would have thought to look in the PTS forum.

PTS Patch notes for Update 12 which brings One Tamriel: link. I think that this stuff is possibly subject to change, but I am even more excited about this update than I was before. Dueling in the PvE areas which I was not thrilled about can be set to auto-refuse duel requests from the other players, so now I’m not concerned about some fool following me around asking to 1v1 me, lol. Good stuff!

Thanks Grits! I was looking for this. I'm going to hit that auto-refuse button so hard when the update is released.

Most def not interested in dueling, urk. I can't believe they are limiting Viper's Sting sets to Fungal Grotto, that is ridiculous! Grrrrr.

*mALX stomps off to FG and waits outside for a group to form...*

mALX, looks like Jerric will also need to gut through FG with a group, unless there’s another place to find Dreugh King Slayer gear. He bought two pieces and hasn’t seen any since.


Here’s a fun tidbit from the patch notes:

“Soul gem usage has been simplified.

• Players of all levels will receive and fill Grand Soul Gems, which can be used to revive players of any level, as well as to refill enchantments.

• Non-grand Soul Gems no longer fill these roles, and may be sold to vendors.”

This is great news to me. Juggling the soul gem supply for a full team at different levels is a big pain.


Oh, and I saw that the Yokudan style and its material ferrous salts will be available (rarely from the repeatable quests) in Craglorn. Woo!!

Jerric has been wandering around soloing dolmens and world bosses while he still can, since the notes said “World bosses throughout Tamriel have been rebalanced to target groups of four instead of two.” On the plus side, I think there will be more players around to help around once One Tamriel opens the borders. This looks like it will be a very different and much more TES experience!

BWAAHAA! He can't find it because I bought it all up while he was sleeping in with Ulfe, !!!! I have a bunch of it, lol.

Haa-Rei's done all but one or two dolmens (the remaining ones are in Cyrodiil), and the only world bosses we haven't got are the ones that were too tough to take down alone.

If One Tamriel means that I'm 3x more likely to have help with world bosses, bring it on!

Here is a video talking about One Tamriel. (skip to the 1:15 mark to avoid cringey small talk).

The Bethesda Softworks YouTube account has a bunch of videos up from PAX where the devs talk about everything that's coming in the next update. Worth a look if you're interested.

I hate the world bosses

This vid was really great - Informative! Crafted jewelry - I hope they hurry up with that! Some of the changes I am on board with, but some = not so much. I still wish they would keep the nodes area specific, it really limits you to not be able to gather anything but your own level! How can you make armor for someone else lower than your own level without access to the materials?

Thanks for the link, Hazmick!!!
