Our first test will be set up as follows:

For a period of one week, all Champion Points will be disabled on all Campaigns on all platforms and megaservers
During this time, AP gains in all Campaigns will be doubled, both to compensate for lack of CP and also to incentivize players to PvP so we can record as much data as possible
Campaign durations and leaderboards will not be adjusted during this week


Wait - so characters that hit 50 and want to continue playing will not earn any more experience that week? Champion points are basically awarded for post 50 experience right? All so they can force people to PvP? Or am I misunderstanding the mechanics?


I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

It'll be like current non-CP campaigns. You will continue to gain XP, but CP points/skills/passives won't have any effect in Cyrodiil. No more cost reduction or extra damage or any CP passives enabled for one week.

It's very good time to level/unlock your Alliance War skill lines if you are not into PvP as you will be gaining double Alliance Points. Smile

Is this some week long maintenence testing or something because if it is not people that don't pvp wont be doing so because they are stuborn pve players and rightly so if that is all they like to do. They will just take a break from the game for a week if that is the case and make the playing figures look worse.

The "campaigns" just mean the PvP modes you can select between (Well I think you can change once and then if you do it more there's some penalty to it?) anyways PvE and stuff like trials shouldn't be affected at all.

I haven't done PvP in this game in a long while though, I was primarily just exploring but even if you don't encounter a full group of hostile players it still has a lot of problems with latency and disconnection issues so just picking up those little sky shard crystals was a pain and doing the quests and other simpler tasks for some rewards and that PvP currency thing is a bit of a struggle.

Entering the actual PvP city is also something I've only attempted a few times as bad as things are in Cyrodiil they were worse in the Imperial City itself whether it's down in the sewer areas or up in the city districts.
(And as a mix of PvE and PvP it requires a more specialized build, enemies here can kill you almost as fast as a group of hostile players can but that does make sense as this is something of a group activity.)


EDIT: Imperial City has some decent loot although you don't have to go there since items like Lorkhan's Tears for alchemy can now be found reliably even outside of the DLC zones.

Unsure about the ruby tier enchanting runes though and the place does also have two higher-tier craftable item sets though Imperial Physique is kinda specific to the IC itself since it's health bonus only applies in this zone far as I remember.
(There's also some story content and a few world bosses.)

You can. I gave my Steam code to Sausage user here. Smile

You can also buy a steam copy -> link your current non-steam account and sell the standard key you get. At least that's how I managed to switch from non-steam to steam without losing my original account.

Let's see if it works with Morrowind. As for Paypal, I don't use it myself. Maybe trade some game or something later. Very Happy

Really? So when you're linking your Steam account to your original retail non-steam game account they don't ask for the key that Steam gave you in order to link it? It just sits there unused? Confused

ESO: MORROWIND – BATTLEGROUNDS BASICS

http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2017/03/08/eso-morrowind--battlegrounds-basics

Quote:
Because Battlegrounds are small-group PvP matches, a game won't last any longer than 15 minutes; a very different experience from the epic campaigns of Cyrodiil. If you're looking for some quick-and-dirty action, Battlegrounds are the perfect place for an exciting PvP experience.


There are three unique Battleground game types at the launch of ESO: Morrowind, and each one offers a different kind of action.

Team Deathmatch
Capture the Flag
Domination

There are three unique arenas you'll fight in at launch:

Ald Carac – A dilapidated ruin of an ancient Dwemer city
Ularra – An old overgrown Daedric worshipping site
Foyada Quarry – A quarry set in the shadow of Red Mountain

I hope that for Battlegrounds it will be Groups vs Groups, and Solo-queuers vs Solo-queuers. So groups don't roflstomp some random singles.

But i'm probably wishing for too much. As that feature is in barely any game. Sad

That's their plan.

Quote:
There's also plans that when you're grouped you'll be matched against other grouped players, through a certain amount of cycles in the queue. If you're sitting there waiting too long, it's going to go "Screw it! Find some PUGs, put 'em in there, let's go!" That also being said, it's going to try and match single players against other single players.

Also the mechanic with searching for several cycles and then joining the solo-queue. Such a simple feature, yet like never used in competive games. At least in those i played.

I guess tank specs will be very OP in those small scaled battlegrounds. I mean even in Cyrodiil i encountered some that withstood 10+ people for quite some time. Laughing

Templar makes you waste your time and then press alt + F4 or just run away. Embarassed The support build makes you immortal. Unlimited sustain with decent damage output.

A full Templar team is going to cause a lot of frustration to play against. 2xDD Templar and 2xSupport Templar and all have Breath of Life slotted in. Nightmare.

If you plan to play Battlegrounds, better start collecting full gear with an Impenetrable trait.

I feel like they are very active and putting a lot of efforts to improve the game with every update. Really nice to see how much has changed since launch. Very Happy

MagSorc -> I'm running 5xBSW and 3xMoondancer. A standard for dungeons and trials.
For vMA -> Julianos over BSW.

By the way, the Necropotence seems to be amazing for vMA. Heavy attack build and AOE seem to do crazy damage. I'm working on Neco pieces, mostly will run vMA in coming weeks. Very Happy

This week golden vendor:

Pirate Skeleton's Helm- Infused (Light, Medium, Heavy)
Chokethorn's Helm- Infused (Light, Medium, Heavy)
Ring of the Shadow Dancer - Arcane
Ring of Necropotence - Arcane ----> WORTH IT!
