Aw man, the Eastmarch Pact quests rock! Mira is currently involved in a bit of a Vampire civil dispute!

So glad you're enjoying those quests! Buffy finished those not too long ago and is nearly done in the Rift now.

Finally got around to creating another character today, so now I have one of each class. At first I was thinking of bringing Trivea over to PC as the Nightblade, but decided to go with someone new. This character is actually one of my oldest - first created for the Thieves Den dlc in Oblivion.

It is my honour to introduce Tsarakiri - Pirate, thief, and general rogue.

Welcome to Tsarakiri! Is she a nightblade then?

Hey she looks kind of like Feng!

She is so cute!

Yep, she's a nightblade.

I never got too far with Trivea, so nightblades are still very much uncharted territory.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!


I broke a million in gold tonight !!!! WOO HOO !!!!!!!!

Bank balance now: 1,012,158 Gold !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hunding Palace, here I come !!!!! WOO HOO !!!!!!


Of course, I am still short for the Hunding Palace by 282,842 - and that might take a long time to come up with, lol. (but breaking that million mark gave me hope again! WOO HOO !!!!!! )

Welcome Tsarakiri! Long may she pillage.

Congrats, mALX!

Congrats mALX! I don't think I've ever had more than 60k - all my characters love to shop too much.


Haa-Rei got the last Dwemer motif we needed today, and has now crafted himself some nice new armour. We also found some pieces of Briarheart equipment for cheap in a guild store so we have the full set of that too (went with the three jewellery slots, the helmet, and the belt).

That's Khajiit's "awe" face
Congrats!

Mira murdered an innocent last night
She was entering a cave to find an Argonian "Dreamwalker" and was startled by another Argonian guarding the entrance to the cave. Before she realized what happened, she was branded a Murderer (achievement).

Aww, sorry for Mira. I have the 'can't hurt innocents' option selected and have been able to avoid this.

Aaw, I'm so sorry, Mira !!! Like Acadian, I had the "Can't hurt innocents" toggled in my game (it is off by default, you have to set it to on) - but since I joined the Dark Brotherhood, I've turned it back off. Unfortunately, there have been several incidents since I turned it off = not of murder, but accidental assaults and then running.

Lol, yeah she's also had some accidents involving the farm animals at Windhelm Stables which led to a mad scramble to the Outlaw's Refuge!

In more pleasant news, Mira just defeated Fildgor and cemented King Jorrun's grip on Skyrim's throne and the leadership of the Ebonheart Pact. Now she's off to the Rift to investigate rumors of increased activity from the Reachmen.

Lately I've been thinking of jumping back into the IC to finish the mini questline there and maybe to catch all the fish there.

I don't know how far I'd get, though. I'm not into PvP so my experience would most likely be of getting sent back to the spawn point repeatedly. Not much of an issue in the districts but it might be down in the sewers. I just wanna end Molag Bal's final scheme. :U

I might end up getting some guildies for it or waiting for new DLC to drop, like I did with getting the Explorer/Tamriel Hero titles.

Ha! I just went to the sewers and IC last night on a Skyshard run with my Ebonheart Pact character! I'm still missing 5 Skyshards from the sewers, but got all the rest in both the Sewers and the IC. The 5 I'm missing are the Molag Bal one and the two on either side of him (Aldmeri and Daggerfall ones)

I lost a BUNCH of Telvar stones dying at Molag Bal and the boss right before him; came home with only 500. I am wanting to farm Telvar stones because I need 35,000 of them for an armor I want (Vicecannon) - and possibly more for part of another set I want to complete my armor for Misa.

I do have a Daggerfall player that could use the skyshards down there, he is just the crafter, but could probably use some Skyshards and earn some Telvar stones fairly well (though probably not do as well as Misa in either the Sewers or the IC).

(So I'd love to join in if you are going with either of those Alliances and wouldn't mind some company).

Should I ever jump in it'll definitely be EP. Not sure yet, though. I WILL have to pop in there once I get a full set of attuneable crafting stations for Armor Master.

Jerric and I are about to adventure-test the new laptop in Stonefalls. Wish us luck!

WOO HOO! Best of luck!

Good luck!



Haa-Rei has been questing in Wrothgar - our favourite zone. We've managed to clear all of the world bosses and most of the side quests, and now we've started on the main quest.

I have also been doing battle...with ESO support. More like running in circles, but I shall persevere.

I saw (friends list) that Jerric was in Stonefalls this morning - so that is a good sign indeed!

Buffy is working her way through Coldharbour. I'm surprised how much she is enjoying it.

By the Hist. 6000 crowns for the Dro-m'Athra style motif...

This one isn't a fan of the glowy lines on the armor.

Also, there's someone at the Bethsoft forums asking about a good place to talk about ES:O. Should we send him a PM invite to check us out, respond to his thread with an invite to all interested, or just leave it be?

In order to get through the "Auto-response" computerized messages in ESO Support, you have to repeatedly ask for your case to be escalated to a person with the authority to fix the problem. They have farmed their "Support" to a small town in Ireland that has no authority to actually DO anything for you, all they do is repeatedly send you automated computer responses. You have to work your way past them to a real person who can actually fix the issue.

Tip: I gave them my phone number in one of my correspondences, (after a week of the back and forth auto-response BS and days of requesting for my case to be escalated) - immediately after giving them the phone number, I got a call from someone who fixed the issue immediately.





I actually enjoyed Coldharbour too!







They are blowing up their prices so we won't notice how high their prices for houses and furnishings are?











Are they wanting to complain about it or are a fan of it? Just kidding.

Heh, well he seems to really want to talk about it, and he's a longtime member over there.
http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1615844-g...al-teso-forums/

I would post it on the thread with a link like Pseron Wyrd did with that "Unnofficial" one. Pseron Wyrd is a member of this site too, and may not even realize we have added this ESO Subforum. And there may be others who find themselves at that post that wonder the same thing, you know?

So I would post it on there, inform more people of our site here and that we are covering ESO too. Could end up getting us more Guild mates!

Or trolls, lol

Pseron is a member here? Khajiit has never seen him around.

It started off with a real person, but then I was downgraded to the auto system. They have a lot of support tickets to work through at the moment and my issue isn't too urgent, so I'm just going to bear with the robots for the time being.

He hasn't been here in a while, that is why I doubt he knows that we have added an ESO subforum.








Well, I hope you get it worked out! It took me over a week to get my email changed on my account.

Ok I'll post something on there. Have the mods ready with the banhammer in case of troll invasion!

That is why I asked about whether they were looking for a place to complain or not, The Official forums seem to be a bit troll-y/flame-y.

hazmick, I hope they get your issues fixed!

I am not jumping on the 6,000 Crown electric blue motif, either. Which means that all of the Master writs I get will be for that style.

Laptop held up well, I think I have a good short-term solution.

Jerric is slowly succumbing to Azura's wiles in Stonefalls. I had forgotten about this part of the questline since the first time, probably because of the floating, shimmery, pantiless, living goddess that he will meet pretty soon down the road. Hard for a talking statue to compete with that.

Best thing, Jerric met Rider's Argis the Bulwark today! They lifted a few tankards at The Stink. It was great to relax for a bit with a brother Nord. Turns out they have a lot in common. The fish of the Ebonheart waters should be very afraid!

Grits, so glad the lappie is working for Jerric for now. Glad he got to meet Argis. Buffy hasn't met Argis in person but they chatted from afar for quite awhile today.

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffff

But seriously, I'm glad I bought all the chapters a long time ago even if I don't exactly like it. I guess that's one motif that won't go down in price, ever.

Anyways, glad to hear you have a temporary solution, Grits.

A friend of mine recently got a replacement video card which means he'll be able to jump back into ESO in time for housing. He actually has an (old) account here so maybe he'll be interested in joining the guild.

Yes ask him to join! We need a bank!

That would be Awesome!







It is so great to have Jerric back in Tamriel again!

Today I realized that we really do need a transmog system.

I FINALLy went and replaced Jo'zira's Mercenary/Glass equipment i hid beneath a costume with Abah's Watch style gear. This had nearly a year coming, and I dunno if it was a good idea (it was the same thing with the Mercenary robe). Basically, the style looks okay, but it fits really weird on him. It's way bulkier than I anticipated and it looks weird without a helmet.

I think I just need to finally go and buy an appearance change token for him and fine tune his appearance. I dunno if it's just me or if Khajiit shoulders are annoyingly broader than normal when viewed outside of character creator.

Too bad you can't get red fur on Khajiit. I wanted to make him look like a caracal, preferably a cub, but it's sorta impossible with what we have. :T At the very least I can make him taller, like he should be.

How cute! I didn't know they couldn't be red! I wonder what that is all about?

If you do go ahead with the appearance change, can you answer a few questions for me to save me from an expensive mistake?

1. Can you change their voice while changing their appearance?
2. Can you see what their old voice was set at or do they just revert everything to NIL to redo your character's appearance?

If the answer to 2 is yes (that you Can See what voice you had previously chosen), then what exactly is the name of the change of appearance you used to be able to access the info on the voices?

I have one character with an adorable voice (Calia); and another who I THOUGHT I made exactly the same and started in a different Alliance so I could have one character experience all the Alliances.

Well, the second character comes out grunting like a pig farmer's wife at every single action! I can't stand it, so I turned her into a mule and never take her out anywhere.

The thing is, on all my characters I went over every single voice choice very carefully; they don't have this grunting on the examples they give you! Yet she does it constantly!

Since I made that grunting girl, I have made two more characters; carefully going over their voices trying to find that cute one I had picked on Calia - was never able to find it again. In fact, one of those grunted too, and I deleted her immediately before spending any gold upgrading her backpack like I did for the first grunter (which made me feel hesitant to throw her out).

So what I'm wanting to do is to just See (without changing anything) what voice I used on the first character (Calia), and then do the actual changing on the grunting girl.

I only have experience with Appearance Change tokens (no Race Change or Name Change), but I can confirm that it's essentially like going back to character creation (minus race and class selection) but with all of your character's previous settings still there. You can even use it to check on another character's parameters without using it up!

So to answer the questions
1. Yes
2. Yes

As for the latter part...that's kinda tricky. You can change the voice under the "Face" tab (using Eolan's old parameters as an example) right beneath the face triangle, but I find that's it's sort of hard to know what you're getting since the voice clips you get by clicking the little speaker are randomized. For example, when I tried to make a Nord with Michael Gough's voice, I couldn't find it in any of the options.

So yeah, it seems the "grunting" problem may still be there. I think one way to get around it is to make a throwaway character to test the voices, but idk. At least that way you don't use up the token.

Oh, thank you so much for this info! This is really good news, especially that I can peek at the one without using the token up, then change the second one!

You are exactly right on the voices, because I have cycled through every voice's choices (and toggled through each's complete set of samples) - and never been able to find Calia's voice again! And I have tried, even (as you suggested) - starting another character.

I also wondered if each voice set (A through H) has different choices within it, like maybe there are a few different voice choices all under the "A," etc. (?)

But this is why I've been wanting to just view Calia's voice to find out what "Letter" of Voice I chose, but I've been really afraid if I pulled her up to look at her that I might lose her cute voice and end up having her become a grunter too. :fear:

Buffy uses Bosmer female voice F. Do you suppose that might be different than Nord female voice F? Or Imperial...?

Thanks to monkeyemoness's suggestion; I just tested each voice set by creating characters on the PTS server (where I could try them all in one day instead of having to try just two at once and wait in between for days) = Found Calia's voice set, it is also "F" !!!!! I don't know if they are the same or not, but it is a "Young/Eager" sounding voice rather than a 40 year old brawling alcoholic barroom wench or a girl who grunts at every single action with a manly sounding "HURGH" sound.

So I spent today creating another character on the PTS and switching all the gear over so I could see what that voice set does in actual game play (IE: As in ... combat).

Because Voice "E" wasn't bad till she was in combat, then suddenly she sounded like a cross between a sumo wrestler (a male one) and a hyena with kidney stones. I thought she was giving birth! I finally let the nixhound kill her just to shut her up. Still, it was much better than the grunter.

Misa has a good voice until she is in combat, then she sounds like a Kawasaki winding out (complete with the pauses for gear shifting) It does get on my nerves.

Yeah, though each race might share a voice actor (Tara Strong and Steve Blum have quite the range) they depend on the race. Except Bretons and Imperials. They have the exact same voices.

@mALX - lmao hey, at least you found the voice! I actually have the opposite problem with Hates-White-Rats' voice. She uses the "cute" Argonian voice with grunts and shouts that fit her perfectly, but hearing NPCs actually TALK with the voice is something else. It's really wheezy. Like she's constatnly sighing. Best example I can think of off the top of my head is the ghostly Tree Minder in Shadowfen. It isn't until she yells "Xuth!" that she sounds...correct? idk I expected shrill and screechy not wheezy.

Oh, I am so glad I found it! Thank you so very much for that suggestion; it was really timely since I had access to 7 blank character slots! I don't know why I didn't try that before - but I will say this: The voice "F" does not sound ANYTHING like the preview tests on the CharGen creation screen setup. In looking for Calia's voice again, I have never thought it could have been the "F" when testing new characters because the voice on that tester sounds horrible! It is like they have it camouflaged or something!

Oh, I never knew/thought about it - but really like that the Khajiit and Argonians have a choice of voices! Especially with the NPCs; that really is progress!

Khajiit has been very pleased with his voice choices for his characters. Each voice seems to suit its character very well (Khajiit admits that he plays each voice about 20-30 times before selecting one for the character he is creating).

Feng is enjoying the Thieves Guild work. He was approached by a lady who is trying to attract the attention of the Dark Brotherhood but Feng isn't sure he's going to go kill anybody in Anvil. Assassination isn't really Feng's style.

The voices are tricky to get right. I always try and judge it based on the laugh.

Haa-Rei's voice is good. I've met plenty of Argonians that use it, I'll have to try and find one of them so you all have a reference point.

Ooh! This one created an Argonian! Very creepy looking guy! Has a very hissy voice.

That is what I do too, listen to the laughs/and also listen over numerous presses of the tester per each voice. But in character creation, the "F" laugh on the tester is not the adorable laugh that "F" actually has. Instead you hear a very coarse sounding wheezy smoker's laugh that sounds forced; and most def the laugh of someone well past their prime age-wise.

I don't know if it is broken in my game or what happened; but on my game I no longer hear the real voice file for testing the "F" voice file; but - I would never have picked THAT voice for any of my characters, so at the time I picked out Calia, it had to have sounded good or I wouldn't have picked it.

But since then whenever I have been looking for that voice again, it is always turning up at "A" on the tester = which I have learned the hard way is most def the grunter once I get it in my game.

Anyway = so glad I finally found that voice again! Thank you so much for your brilliant idea/suggestion, monkeyemoness!
