Oh my gosh, the Hearthfire Kagouti mount is back! I didn't have enough Crowns when it came around the first time. Whoop!!

Has anyone noticed the new Icon on screen while using the Equipment Crafting Stations? It is in the lower right corner of the screen; and has 4 sections. The top section says "tilt" and the section on the left says something like "pan" = does anyone know what this is all about/what it is for/how to use it/etc? I know the Arrow keys doesn't work for doing anything with it; I tried them. (although actually; I didn't try them while pressing "Alt" or "Shift," etc.)

@mALX, do you have EHT installed? I suspect that is from Essential Housing Tools . . .

Wow, really? Because I wasn't at any home, but at the regular crafting stations in Belkarth doing my daily writs! I might have EHT turned back on, I'll have to look. Thanks Haute!

Banker and Merchant are on sale for 3 days (4250C vs normal 5000C).

For anyone not familiar, both can be handy subject to a couple limitations: Banker cannot access guild banks. Merchant cannot repair.

Do they ever put them on sale for 1/2 off? The current discount isn’t enough to make me consider them.

[monkeyemoness]

Can't find the gif but yeah, that's uh, very small discount. Great for people with only so many crowns left over but otherwise? Not something I'd jump on. (What was the discount last time? I think it was bigger than this one)

It was smaller than this before = closer to half price last time. I bought them for my son's game then; but I'd have to go back through my purchase history to find how much I paid. Pretty sure it was 3,000 crowns or less, though.

Announcement from Gina Bruno at ZOS regarding Monday’s update:

Update 21 Launch

ZOS_GinaBrunoZOS_GinaBruno
Community Manager
Next Monday with the PC launch of Update 21, we’ll be implementing some code related to ESO’s database that will allow us greater flexibility with updates and maintenance as it continues to grow over time. Due to this change, after downloading the patch on Monday, you are likely to encounter a very long load screen upon first logging into the game. This will only occur the first time you log in after character select, and it will not affect subsequent logins. That said, the length of the load screen could vary anywhere between 5-10 minutes to a couple hours. We understand this is far from ideal and is frustrating on launch day, but it’s a necessary evil just this one time.

Now, this loading is actually directly tied to the total number of bank items, inventory items, and mail attachments everyone has. This means if you’re able to clear out excess items in your inventory and attachments before maintenance begins Monday morning (or even just reduce them), this will greatly help the amount of loading the client will need to do! Additionally, once you’re at the load screen, please just wait until you’ve made it into the game; closing the client will not speed things up.

Thanks for your understanding, everyone, and we look forward to Wrathstone and Update 21 launch in just a few days!

Ooh, thanks for the heads up, Haute!!!

[monkeyemoness]

I'm probably gonna screenshot my bank and storage just in case tbh
Not gonna bother to move around items, tho

That is a really good idea. I've already started going through character by character and getting rid of stuff I should have gotten rid of years ago, lol. I've been a bit of a hoarder with armor sets.

[Grits]

I always have a bunch of stuff in the bank waiting for the right character to decon or read, so that was helpful news for me. I got almost everyone plus the bank under 50% of their inventory capacity yesterday. Since it often takes me a day or two to get logged on after the regular updates, I'm not optimistic about my chances this time.

[mALX]

I did what I could; but still have A LOT of stuff in characters and bank.


** Remember: Everyone who has Awesome Guild Store add-on = supposed to turn it off tonight before the patch! Don't turn it on again till the Author gives an update and clearance that it is working with the new patch!

I just shut down all my add-ons to keep down the error reports.

[haute ecole rider]

Welp, all that hoopla for nothing.

Minion showed me that my major addons all had updates, so I ran the "Update All" (I don't do automatic updates because I want to see what is being updated, and to look at the change logs - easier to do this when you have it set to simply alert you that updates are ready).

Downloaded patch, ran file repair.

Logged into Phae - took less than two minutes before I was listening to her play her flute in her Clan Reunion Campground. Okay, 1:43 by my timer

[Acadian]

I'm in! Downloading of patch took about 15 min. The delay they talked about from character select to enter game was about 6 mins. No problems noted yet in game. I hope others fare as well.

[mALX]

My son's game loaded up faster than it has been, and mine only took about the same length of time it has since Summerset. Same with the character loads; really didn't take long at all. It all went surprisingly smoothly!

I shut down all my add-ons last night; so that may have helped speed things up for me. When I logged out I went ahead and updated all the add-ons; will wait till tonight and see if any are causing issues for others before turning mine on.

I really like some of the new Racial passives! Haven't seen the changes to the CP points yet; anyone see what they are yet?

[treydog]

Will have to look around- download only took 10 minutes- load screens were minimal. Somehow, Trey ended up with 9 skill points... I wonder if they were refunded from his passives? Didn't think to look- will be more circumspect with Hrolf and Threep.

Yes, they are from the Racial skill lines (passives) = everyone's Racial skills got reset; but as far as I can see, that is it.

[mALX]

Weren't we supposed to get three of some kind of race change tokens too? I didn't get any that I could see; does anyone know where I'm supposed to look for them?
