I don't think I have ever seen a successful mmorpg launch. They have done a lot of beta tests, so they may be more prepared than the others, but I guess we will find out on Sunday

As long as it's not like the Final Fantasy one I don't mind! That was a painful launch..

What class/race do you think would be best for a 2H melee backed up with some ranged spells? I normally avoid melee but quite fancy a bit of heavy duty skull-thumping in this one

 

[Tombstone]

I got you both beat. I remembered a couple of days ago that the wife had booked some tickets for us to take the kids out on Sunday and being Mothers Day I can hardly refuse can I?

Does it make me a bad person if I do a little raindance on Saturday?

Lol, the missus (Vavakooky/Mrs Vlad on the TOG forums) has already informed the kids that anything they have planned for Mothers Day on sunday, MUST be moved to Saturday instead so that she can login to ESO undisturbed

I think you've just won the prize for the best missus on this forum!

It would be a race with increases magic pool size. Races like the Nords with their 2h Spec, is only good at the beginning of the game to increase your skill line there faster.

what would be a good race/class for a battle mage latex? im thinking the mana is the most important here as i will be using the dual wield as a backup so thinking altimer.
do quite like the option of a bow though.

im thinking of either going warlock and possibly using your build latex (if u dont mind of course) or a battle mage.

Race wise, Breton, dark elf or high elf are the best choices for magicka heavy builds.

While they don't have melee racials, they have things to benefit magicka. The nightblade is very magic heavy, so you will want to look at boosting that aspect.

But this is a min/max thing, so really don't worry too much about racials, just choose a race you like the look of. Unless you want to min max.

Going to work out a 2h and bow build in a min, but 1h and spell is becoming quite popular at the moment.

You don't need to ask for permission to use my build, do what ever you want with it!

Is there anyone at all who isn't planning to go with some kind of stealth build? I have images of stealthed warbands roaming Cryodiil, with nobody able to find anyone else

 

[Jase]

Yeah, a commitment like that is setting yourself up for failure.

Business 101: under promise over deliver!

Yes but 99% of companies now over promise and under deliver.. really annoying

I'm not planning on going stealth.

And unfortunately you'll get this.

 

[Devious]

I wont be going stealth, once aspect of gaming thats never interested me much.
Those warbands might end up taking turns gimping me!


i need to start making my mind up on what to roll.

 

[Zeed]

Any news how new racial skills look ??

 

[LateX'Dog]

A quick 2h and bow build I've thrown together:

[Sleepery]

I found this one handy for anyone who's not sure on what each class can do (like me ), makes it easy to browse through and see what kind of abilities you can expect from each class with different weapons and armour:

[scritchyrat]

I won't be going stealth either. I want the Altmer zealots to see that it is a glorious Orsimer (Orc) Templer that is staving their face in and feeding the flowers of Cyroiil with their blood*

*I won't be RPing either but I thought I'd add a little flavour to my reply

Aim of this build is to save stamina for blocking and taunting and use magicka to do damage.

Top bar for tanking, bottom for healing. Just giving you choices i guess

 

[LateX'Dog]

So this is apparently 300v500 PvP battle:

 

[Tombstone]

Thats pretty similar to one of the fights I was involved in during the beta, although the fight I was in was a 3-way fight, but similar numbers, it was something like 200 v 200 v 200 in a fight at one of the castles, I was quite impressed at the time at how smooth the whole fight was, given the numbers on screen
