  1. You know back in the day when ESO released your channel was my go to channel because of how you delivered your information on the game. Keep it up man. I'll try to watch as many of your videos I can ❤

  2. ZOS: deletes half your exp/forces you to grind if you want to boost your CP, dangles power progression carrot to incentivize grinding to 2400 CP, drops a month of double exp to incentivize hardcore grinding out the CP, announces removing the power progression the grind provides days after double exp ends.

    Feels like a cruel joke TBH.

  3. Ngl Blackwood looks pretty underwhelming to me. It lacks the expansion seller factor that all the other expansions had going into it. Morrowind had the Vvaardenfall landmass for the first time in over a decade and the first new class, Summerset was set in a beautiful land that TES fans have been waiting to see for ages as well as jewelry crafting, Elyswere had the return of dragons as well as the long awaited necromancer class, greymoor although somewhat underwhelming brought antiques and had hype from everyone that played skyrim and wanting to visit those locations again. Blackwood just looks meh, visually, the location is nothing we haven't seen before in eso, and regardless of your thoughts on them, companions were something very few people were asking for, and especially in its current state doesn't look like something that will have a large impact on the game in the long run the same way a new weapon and skill line would or something completely new for our characters. While certain things like the deadlands and daedric portal world events look very interesting as well as the story also probably being good, I don't find myself sold on this expansion.

  4. Loved the video and information. Where exactly is the quest for Mirri? I know it's north, but where north. I'm on a console, so I have to wait to find her, but I want to be ready.

  5. this will be like greymore all over again once they sell enough copies they will nerf all the new sets and mythics to the ground… the business model has become to predictable lol

  6. I am sure there will be some balancing passes for the companions, but what I have seen in your livestream was a bit underwhelming. This could of course be due to the low level and equipment that your companion had at that time.

    However, I do think companions should be able to replace an average player and therefore be stronger (not SWOTOR companion strong though). In overworld content and the occasional 2-3 friends that run a dungeon at their own pace because they are new to the game they need to be a good asset. Otherwise they would be rather worthless.

    In the big picture this would not make a difference: In trial they would be the very last resort and in dungeon queues, which are a horrible experience for new players due to the speed run nature, players would automatically replace them.

  7. I’m very happy to see you come back to eso! You helped me so much as a newbie player and always gave me great info to make my game experience better. I appreciate your hard work since your return. I am not an end game player … preferring to immerse myself in the beautiful stories and lore in the quests, so I’m especially looking forward to interacting with companions. Looking forward to your streams and guides. Thank you Deltia!

  8. The art team did indeed do an insanely good job with the new patch for sure! But I'm pretty sure that the team that handles balancing in the game doesn't have access to how damage is calculated in the game, unfortunately. The disparity between stam and mag damage output in content is going to grow even greater next patch, due to a good number of issues they are adding in the upcoming patch, for sure. The saddest part of how poorly they are balancing it is not only are they making stam even less viable in content, or that they are making mag even more overpowered in content, but on the 21 mill parse dummy those numbers are going to be inverted from how they actually perform in content, even worse than they are in the current patch. I'm genuinely convinced they are either enjoying trolling us with their "balance" changes, or they genuinely don't have a decent understanding of how their game works. Likely, because they're basing their assumptions about how to correctly balance combat in ESO off casually running a vet dungeon here and there.

  9. I remember swimming through a water well to get a useless necklace or ring just to discover the mage guild master send me to die…

    Ahh the memories
