Beta Screenshots, Sheogorath, PvE and PvP Video

Here’s another batch of media we recorded during our 72 hour session of Elder Scrolls Online playing during the last beta. I learned how to remove the UI so I have some nicer screenshots that you can even use as desktop backgrounds if you like. This time we have fewer screenshots, but we also prepared something special for Elder Scrolls fans. Time for some Sheogorath goodness. This was always my favorite Daedric prince and I recorded the conversation I had with him the first time I came across him in ESO. Cheese and cabbage for everyone! There is also a PvE video of ending a long quest chain that includes killing a werewolf called Faolchu The Reborn. For the end we have 11 minutes of pure PvP madness in Cyrodiil. That guy at 10:41 almost gave me a hearth attack.

ESO Tips & Tricks

teso tips and tricks
 
Tips & Tricks guide contains comprehensive list of things that you should know before you start playing the Elder Scrolls online.

General Tips

  • Search for chests in the tutorial area. There are a lot of unlocked chests where you can get lockpicks, money and gear. Barrels, crates, and urns are all instanced individually and you can find recepies, and crafting ingridients.
  • If you get stuck at an NPC screen, typing /reloadui or pressing ‘ (apostrophe), or pressing the mailbox symbol on chat will clear the screen and get you out of the stuck animation.
  • Keep as many lockpicks as you can on you. You can collect them from chests, drawers, boxes, or wardrobes scattered all over the world, or buy them from some NPCs. Our Lockpicking guide gives detailed instructions on how to open locked treasure chests.
  • You can travel from anywhere on the map (M) to a Wayshrine you’ve visited before by clicking the Wayshrine icon on your map and paying a small fee in gold. You can travel between Wayshrines with no fee if you approach a Wayshrine and interact with it.
  • Your character starts the game with 60 Inventory slots. You can upgrade your inventory up to 110 slots. How to increase inventory space guide
  • All characters on the same account share the same bank storage.
  • From level 15 you can swap your weapons at any time. Use ‘ Keyboard Command.
  • Holding “Q” opens 8 quickslots inventory. In order to use the item from quickslot, select it and press Q. List of all Controls and Keyboard Commands
  • Kills and loot stealing are not possible in ESO. Loot is phased per player. Feel free to help anyone take down a mob. and you’ll get loot as well.
  • Don’t forget to collect all Skyshards on the map, since every 3 Skyshards grant you a skill point. Skyshard location Maps with detailed instructions and screenshots.
  • There is no Auction House in Elder Scrolls Online! You can sell your items to vendors, offering your goods in the open chat, or join the guild and use Guild Shops.
  • Mundus Stones will give you permanent buffs that are only removed by selecting another Mundus Stone.
  • You can respec your skill points for a high gold cost. You don’t have to re-level your skills after you reset them. Respecing doesn’t cause you to lose any skill progress.
  • You can reassign your health, magicka and stamina points at a relatively significant cost of gold.

ESO PvP video preview

A week ago members of the Press shared with TESO fans the first impressions about all PvE features. Today, prepare for a new series of videos addressing PvP features like siege weapons, fast travel, storming keeps, and much more. The first preview comes courtesy of IGN, who unveiled Cyrodiil secrets.
 

Emperor

Emperor is a dream come true for every Elder Scrolls Online player. It is the most powerful role in the game due to the special bonuses TESO Emperor receives. However, it is also a task that will be hardest to accomplish and many players will fail on that road before they get the chance to be crowned.
 
ESO Emperor Armor concept
 
It may be difficult thing to do but getting the crown will be worth it, with these impressive bonuses:

  • Emperor will have special skill line focused on PVP battles, sieges and even PvE.
  • Special skill line will remain with the character forever, even when the character no longer has the crown (but less powerful).
  • All stats are increased, character will have better powers and will deal more damage. There is only one Emperor, per campaign at the same time, making the character wearing the crown the best in the campaign.
  • Emperor will have access to unique armor set, which will change only appearance of the character (without losing any of your own armor bonuses). Currently it is unknown if it will stay in possession of the character once you are no longer Emperor.
  • Emperor will give bonuses to other players in his alliance.

Creating The Keeps of Cyrodil

The keeps in The Elder Scrolls Online will play a pivotal role in the war between the three groups seeking to control Cyrodil; namely the Ebonheart Pact, Daggerfall Covenant, and Aldmeri Dominion. Players will do battle with each other to gain control of the various keeps throughout the land, thereby granting a greater percentage of control to their specific faction. The areas will be chock full of chances for some epic PvP encounters, so players interested in testing their mettle against others will likely see themselves spending a bunch of time assaulting the various keeps dotting the Cyrodil landscape.

With that in mind, you can now take a look at the creation of these keeps. This is one of your first chances to take a look at these keeps and start ironing out some sort of plan to assault these keeps and lead your faction to victory in the war for Cyrodil.
