You know, I suppose theoretically even those of us who are in different factions could meet peacefully in Cyrodiil, we’d just have to be very careful of friendly fire if a PvE situation came up.

Back on Xbox, Haa-Rei took part in a few large battles for keeps and resources. He also did a ton of quests, and made himself a set of Night's Silence gear so he could move around stealthily and freely. It was fun, but having to look over your shoulder all the time for groups of other players gets really boring.

Yes, I actually have gone skyshard hunting with a Player from the Aldmeri, we just both had to watch out for enemies like anyone would down there.

The thing to do in Cyrodiil is to stick to rougher and woodsier terrain, stay away from the roads as much as possible. Give the enemy Keeps a wide berth; and sneak whenever possible.

Listen carefully for running footsteps and horse hoofs = those are always players (and is why I don't ride in Cyrodiil and sneak everywhere while there: so enemies aren't alerted to me being there).

I changed the Audio in settings to make footsteps louder and turned the music way down; that way I hear the enemy coming before they have a chance to see me most of the time.

Also: Make sure your settings are set up to show enemy flags over their head so you can watch the colors of any Players out there. You will see a little colored insignia over their heads, but all you need to see is the color to know what faction they are with. (Red = Ebonheart, Yellow = Aldmeri, Blue = Daggerfall)

If a group of other Alliance players attacks, try to run and jump into water = slaughterfish will kill you and you will resurrect in your home base, which is a safe zone. That way they don't get the kill on you. (all the water in Cyrodiil is loaded with slaughterfish).

If just one Player attacks, you can do the same thing - unless you think you can take them, then give it a shot. That is how I got the 8 kills. I actually got 9 kills, but on the last one another player killed me before I could loot the body, so = not sure if it counts as a kill or not since I didn't get the stones.

Cyrodiil itself isn't bad at all; the Imperial City is a different story though. Cyrodiil is worse on the weekends or nights when the war rages and Players are fighting for the Keeps. Usually in the daytime it is pretty quiet in Cyrodiil.

Specifically, Anvil's building style is Nibenese while Kvatch is Colovian. A very bizarre choice considering that not only is the Gold Coast Colovian, but Oblivion's buildings are explicitly said to be Redguard-inspired. I guess they just didn't want to bother modeling new buildings so they used what looked closest to Anvil's Oblivion buildings.

Even with this effort, I doubt Oblivion's damage to the Imperial's cultural identity will ever be reversed. :/

I haven't taken part in any Alliance related stuff yet, but would like to one day. Mostly I just wanted the skyshards and skill points; and I got a few achievements, lol.

Okay, I asked about this just the other night when a group of us were going Telvar farming; and I ended up having to bring Calia (my bank mule) because they were all AD characters and Misa is EP - this does not work any more since One Tamriel, because one person's area effects will not see the other as an ally; but an enemy. You may be fighting an environmental enemy, but your weapons will also be damaging your friends from other factions that you are fighting beside.

So this is no longer possible.

The Megaserver just went down at 4 am EST!!!!!!


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The update is now live. Here are the patch notes.

Awww, dammit. This patch is taking forever to download. Eating into Khajiit's pre-work game time!

Heh, it was a pretty hefty patch all right. I'm in the game and it all seems to be working.

Mira just got an Ebony Flask room... and the game CTD'd upon entering it. Lol

Well, my game ran fine till I turned the add-ons back on (the game shut them off for being out of date). Then suddenly the game was lagging like crazy and then crashed. So I may need to shut my add-ons off till they are updated.



** I was pleasantly surprised how affordable the houses were furnished via the Crown Store !!!

By the way, thank you for posting these!!!

I read that Wardens will be able to direct their bear Ultimate to attack a specific target by heavy attacking the target. That got Lildereth’s attention! I’m pretty excited about this class.

I'm slightly disappointed to learn the Frost line is tank-oriented. I mean I guess it's fodder for an alternate universe Eolan that studied under the Viridian Sentinel instead of the Knights of Saint Pelin, but it changes things for the character I had planned. :T

Khajiit can hardly wait!

Sorcs can direct their clannfears / twilights (quite handy) so I would certainly hope the warden can direct their critter(s).

Monkey, I'm with you on the ice staff. I would prefer it to be all about crowd control - freezing, shattering, heavy snaring. Of course I'm influenced by playing 'Frostmaiden' sorcs and amazons from Diablo II back in the day. . . .

Oh ma gaah! You can have a Cliffracer-ish thing as an animal companion!

I can't freckin waaait~

Thanks for sharing, Arcy and great to see you!

Are you on PC NA by chance? We have 6 of us here at Chorrol with our own little guild there. Hoping to bring our numbers up to 10 so we can get one of those guild banks to more easily share things among ourselves.

ARCRY !!!!

Hay mALX~ I'm still lurkin 'round

Hm, nothing that interests me this time around. I'm sort of disappointed in the current Crown Crate season, too. I missed the chance to get the haircuts from the previous one. :T Hopefully they come back soon.

Good to have a schedule for the Festival, though. Thanks for the heads up, hazmick!

Ooh, may get the sabré cat for Brenna, Khajiit's upcoming Warden Reachwitch character.

Those furniture packs look much better than the ones they had last month!

Thanks for posting these, Hazmick!!!!

Thank you for posting this, hazmick!

I like the furniture packs, but it’s satisfying to make things instead. On the other hand it is going to take forever to furnish even a medium-sized house. Still, I think my Crowns are safe this month.

So I can't remember there being news about it, but apparently the Thieves Guild anniversary thing is going on right now? At first I thought there was a (good) bug with the Heist reward since I got 2 bags instead of one but it turns out it's intentional. I guess I'm completing the TG motif on the squad much more quickly than I thought.

Doesn't work on the repeatables, though. You still only get one. I guess if you got two you could really break the game with the Covetous Countess quest. I got an Abah's Watch motif today, too.

It would appear so. Zeni haven't mentioned anything, but I just saw that the Thieves Guild collector's edition is 50% off in the crown store - well worth the price if anyone is yet to pick the DLC up.

Aw heck, I already bought it!

@ Monkey - (Bold above) What does that mean, two bags? Reward bags for doing those daily quests? I may need to get Misa over there quickly!

Zen really does honor anniversaries, that is why I'm holding off till March 16-31 for getting the Banker/Merchant assistants = hoping they discount them !!!

Yeah, if you do a perfect heist, you get two rewards instead of one. Less than perfect heists that would otherwise reward you with a lesser reward now give the highest reward instead. Not bad, tbh.

Supposedly it started today, but I got double bags yesterday, too.

I haven't gotten it perfect yet - the Overseer is always out and I'm always spotted - so I most def need to jump on getting the better rewards!

Here is the announcement - I just must have missed it before now!

Some info on the upcoming battlegrounds.

Khajiit is sure the folks who like PvP will be very happy with this!

New stuff released today!

Ooh, I hope all of Morrowind won't be PvP! Thanks for posting this, Hazmick!

Info on the upcoming Jesters Festival, which will run from March 23rd to April 4th.

Thanks for the info, hazmick. Whew! Nothing I see that Buffy's gotta have (like a Nordic bathing towel, lol). She should be able to just relax and enjoy the questibits.

Is the Sabrecat mount up yet?

Been and gone.

What?! Khajiit thought it wasn't coming out till later this month

Take heart. I think it looks rather uninspired. Nowhere near as impressive as the lion or tiger mounts. Sorry you missed it though.

Yeah but the Reach doesn't have lions and tigers, it has sabrecats

Oh well. What Khajiit gets for neglecting ES:O, he guesses. Brenna will just have to use a boring old horse

It was March 16th to March 20th. Acadian's right though, it was a bit of a letdown. Stuck with that hideous gold armour for some reason. I was going to get it until I saw it in the flesh.

It'll probably come back eventually though, in crown crates or something.

Ew, they put it in gold armor? Well that makes Khajiit feel a little better about it.

Ooh, thanks for the link, Hazmick!






If you have seen them in game, you will feel even better that you missed it. They are F'UGLY!!!! And no real tail; bulging muscles way too huge to even look like a saber cat. (the gold armor was already mentioned). Not something you will still feel bad about missing once you see them in game, I was seriously offended by the way they looked, lol.

Well the no tail thing doesn't bother this one as the ones in Skyrim didn't have much of a tail either. They were also very muscular. That gold armor though. Sounds terrible!

I loved the way the Skyrim saber cats looked, and love the way all the cats in The Rift look too - just not this cat.

Lol oh ma gah, you can't go 5yds in the Rift without running into a Sabrecat!

So last night, Khajiit bought two wild hunt crates thinking that if he got a mount it would be a good one for Brenna. He got nothing but a bunch of potions, a banekin pet, and a neat Hircine Banner.
