Definately wanted to be Ebon Heart as well

Well folks, the 5 Day Early Access before launch starts on Monday of next week, and I have the week off, so hopefully ESO has everything in order so I can jump right in and get started. I will create the guild and get you all in it as soon as you can login. What do we want to call the guild by the way? I don't think we really settled on a name. I suppose we could stick with 47th Legion to keep up appearances, even though we won't officially support ESO. Let me know your thoughts.

 

Also we will be focusing on the Ebonheart faction for our mains, so everyone go with Ebonheart Pact for your main character.

 

As for guild unlocks, the guild bank is at 10 members, the guild store is at 50 members. Not that we really need a guild store as we will just be sharing everything to get our professions maxed out. According to the last beta they changed the guild bank from 1000 slots down to 500 slots, so it would be good to limit the use of that to crafting materials only, and yes that does include food ingrediants.

 

Also I highly recommend everyone loots everything you possibly can in the beginning, the wailing prison tutorial. You can get a tonne of food ingrediants and recipes out of it, and even some racial crafting style books.

 

Anyway, I look forward to seeing you all in game, any questions or concerns feel free to contact me.

Count me in for the first days since ive got the early access too. As for the name of the guild i would stick with the 47th Legion mainly because we are already identified with it and cause it sounds fucking awesome. Maybe in the future if ESO becomes a F2P game we might see other members roll in.

[Dralzen]

actually the early acess starts sunday morning.

 

• North America (East): 7:00 AM EDT, Sunday March 30

[Bealin]

Well I have sundays off always....so no worries there. haha

[Rojnaar]

I'll see ya'll Sunday Morning, looking forward to a few hours play before the house wakes up

[Dralzen]

I will be up and waiting for the servers at 7am. See you all in game

[Bealin]

Make sure you guys patch your games now, there is a nice large update you can do before the servers open up.

[Payton]

Got my Imperial pre-order. I didn't want to wait to have a mount.

 

See you guys in Mumble on Sunday morning.

[Bealin]

Well normally I would be sleeping in, but I might make an exception for this haha

[Payton]

Q: When I pick the North American and European megaserver, is that a permanent choice?

A: At launch, game accounts will have access to both the North American and the European megaservers, but individual characters will be bound to the server on which you create them. Accounts can maintain a total of 8 characters per server, so you could have a total of 16 characters if you play on both servers.

 

 

Looks like there will be individual servers and the character you create will be bound to that server.

 

I am guessing this thread means they call their servers "Campaigns"?   http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en/news/post/2014/03/27/cyrodiil-campaign-names

 

 I nominate GOLDBRAND as our server unless anyone objects.

 

Here are the list of Campaigns:

 

 

 

• Bloodthorn 
• Scourge 
• Chrysamere 
• Auriel's Bow 
• Wabbajack 
• Volendrung 
• Skull Crusher 
• Dawnbreaker 
• Goldbrand 
• Hopesfire 

[Bealin]

Those campaign's are for the PvP side of things, when you reach level 10, you can enter Cyrodill, but before you do you must first choose a campaign. Seems like there will only be 1 main server for NA and 1 for EU, and you can have 8 characters on each server. But once you choose a campaign for your PvP on that character, then that character is locked to that specific campaign. In the beta I joined the Auriel's Bow campaign for PvP, the reason they lock you into these is because guilds can control the keeps located throughout the PvP Zone, and I figure they don't want to limit the number of keeps that can be owned by a guild, so they make each campaign unique so that more guilds may lay claim to a keep.

[Rojnaar]

It says you can change home campaign at a cost of alliance points.  Did anyone try that in the beta's?  I jumped over to other campaigns as a guest, but didn't try for a home switch.  

[Dralzen]

i will be back on around 21:20 MST tomorrow. if you need blacksmith items email my character and i will email the items back to you.

[Rojnaar]

Made lvl 10 last night, but haven't chosen the pvp campaign to enter yet.

[Striker]

So...

 

Can I get a no shit assessment of whether this is worth buying for me? Basically I have 30 minutes here and there to play, generally with a bit more time on the weekends, but for the most part I am only getting in about 2 hours of play on Saturday morning (possibly Sunday morning too) and the rest of my weekend goes to a personal project and/or 47th related tasks I am way behind on.

 

So I guess I need to know if the game is good, but also if you all think it would be good in 30 minute play sessions. If it takes me 20 minutes to get from point A to point B, and I can't safely park my character near my intended target for my next play session, that would be something that would make the game a non-play for me.

 

Thanks all!

[Dralzen]

what campaign do we want to do for PVP?

 I'm by no means an expert and have only read interviews and (just today) watched some gameplay videos but if you like EQ/WoW derivatives then it might be worth your money.  I'm just not into tab-to-target gameplay or linear directed questing.

 

Here's some gameplay:

 

[Bealin]

This game does not have tab-targeting, nor does it have a linear quest line, you need to explore to find most quests. It's actually quite well put together. It is much like Skyrim in a sense, as far as questing goes and combat.

[Destroy]

Striker, it would be doable, but most of these games are designed to make a player stay connected as much as possible. I am sure you could find some things to do and have a little fun in that amount of time, but progression will likely be so slow that it may become frustrating over time. On the plus side, you won't likely burn through all of the content and get bored waiting for the first expansion. 

[Tsarg]

To be honest if you don't have the time to invest in a game you have to pay a monthly fee, then my recommendation is not to buy it. I've been playing since last night and I haven't been as impressed with the final changes as i thought id be when i played the Beta. The gameplay mechanics are good enough like in skyrim, and the feeling i get is that the developers succeeded in creating a skyrim online for us to play n pay. Unless the gameplay changes dramatically at the higher levels, i don't see me paying for the second month of subscription.

I popped into 'Goldbrand' for a pvp campaign.  We get 1 free home campaign switch.  Very low population for now, but I did catch a single group of Altmeri dominion taking castles.  6 people with a ram, going slow.  Not bad if there's nobody on the other side.  By myself I managed to burn down their ram and get some points with my bow.  They'd already taken several castles though
