Ooh discovered this one did have a google login! Will watch on YouTube later

Was Khajiit the only one that found it difficult to listen to the combat guy talking about “offbalance” and what not when guy was playing around with the outfit stuff?

Yeah, I had to back it up more than once because I was paying too much attention to the outfit pane while combat guy was talking. And when systems guy said “I blue myself” and then palmed his face, I cackled for about a minute. Had to rewind and watch that a few more times. (He had previously dyed every channel in his outfit the netch color.) I bet he’ll get to see that again at the next office party.

Lol, Khajiit loves the ESO Live Folks. They are kind of awkward in a cute way and then there is always the “technical difficulties” they have to deal with

Khajiit foresees himself playing around with the outfit system for hours when it comes out

I see the PTS being used a lot more to do outfit design, before people commit on the live server.

One thing I like about the Outfit mechanics, is that you can preview styles you don't know, even if you can't use them. That will be useful for people who would like someone else to make them a (non-outfit) piece, just as a mechanism for previewing the style on your own character. Unna was able to see what Order of the Hour looked like - the "no tassets" positive, the less defined shape negative. Of course, none of them are quite right.

On the News page today - under Outfit System Basics.

"This means that when creating an Outfit for one character, you can use the style of Motif that another one of your characters knows. This is because with Update 17, all known Motifs are transferred to a new Collections type, called Outfit Styles."

I can see this causing a lot of confusion, because I think this applies only to Outfits. You'll still need to know a Motif on each crafter to make the regular equipment, as far as I know. Or am I getting it wrong?

That's right. Crafting an actual item will still require character motif knowledge and crafting materials including the appropriate style item. Outfit creation uses the new Collections (account-wide) Outfit Styles plus gold.

So the unveiling of the datamined information has begun, and one thing that they've hintend at has been found


They also alluded to new spellmaker assets and a few other things for upcoming chapters/dlcs



The first post is mostly speculation on the first spoiler box, but they'll be discussing other datamined stuff in subsequent posts. Can't wait!

The first blog post.

KAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOM !!!!!!!!!


*mALX's head explodes*

Data Mine - Part 2

Haven't read it thoroughly, but what I did catch tempers my expectations a bit. It seems that the main Summerset Isle is being visited as opposed to just Artaeum, which is good! But it looks like Spellcrafting was just a lot of misleading info, as there don't seem to be any new assets found (from what I read) and it's just trying to link them thematically. Of course, assets were found as recently as the Clockwork City, so there's that. A lot of things that are datamined don't show up for at least a year, though, so it's uncertain whether or not we'll see it soon.

I'm just waiting for official word on the Q2 update, which given that the Dragonbones DLC isn't even out yet, probably won't come any time soon.

Khajiit is trying and failing to imagine how spell crafting would even work in ESO.

Datamining of the original system revealed that it was going to have specific spells you could customize. Basically, they were beefed up enchantments in that you could have a specific effect (like, say, oakflesh) and make a spell out of it with no frills, channeled, aoe, cost reduction, etc. and its strength would be determined by your spellmaking skill and the materials used (datamining revealed there were tiers of materials on which the spell was inscribed on, much like the potency runes of enchanting). I think the idea is to have skills specific to certain classes available to the rest to some extent. (I'd link the old thread but I'm on mobile). Course you actually had to level the school of magic the spell belonged to, too.

Course, the devs said they weren't happy with the old system so they might be changing it a bit and tbh I'm glad. Spells like Charm were tank oriented for example, which throws a wrench into any plans of making an illusionist nightblade.

Got It

ngl some of these spells are disappointing and the school of magic they belong to can be confusing

Crown Store Showcase for February

Geez, Khajiit checked this earlier this morning but they just brought it out.

Nocturnal robe!
Cool Imperial horse! (mALX this looks like it’s for you!)
Another Zombie Horse (armored)!
Storage containers!
Odds and ends for new content!

Ohmygosh a cat! I wa--wait a minute, it's a limited time offer. Chances are it'll be thousands of crowns.

At least we got a release date for the DLC?

The blonde horse and white cat look wonderful!

Nocturnal's outfit. . . well, the lace up sandals are beautiful. And the outfit's coloring is kind of nice. *sigh* Problem is that the cut of the outfit draws the eye to the bust and away from the waist - precisely the opposite of what Buffy needs.

Lol Khajiit may get it for Brenna. Not sure yet.

Yep! Looks like the 12th for those of us on PC!

I wish I'd paid more attention to the Level Up Advisor details on the PTS forums. You get the free home coffer at the level all my characters just passed. A good thing I still have two slots unused.

Odd that the horse will already be gone when the DLC arrives.

But you can has undead horse!

“That outfit has footwear?” -Jerric

Only one of mine would wear the peek-a-boob dress, and she already has one. So that leaves me Crowns for horse, pony, and cat!! Am I seeing things, or are there sparkles on the horse illustrations?! Whee!
