glad you are enjoying the game. watch out for update 5 coming soon, should make the game even more interesting.
good to see your in no hurry to hit the heights of vet' rank. there's loads to find in the game and can miss places if you are in a hurry. there's no real need to speed through the game and some of the devs must have had fun making jokes out of some of the quests - and the names of the lizard npc's at times.
worth joining a decent guild when you get the chance. some of the smaller guilds are better to join than the larger one's. everyone will get to know you in smaller guilds and most people in the game are helpful as well. which is a good change from some of the other games out there
there are still a couple of small bugs in the game, nothing really game breaking though and they seem to be keen to get rid of them and keep the game updated so far.
take it your on the na server as you used $ so wont run into you ig, but have fun
i look this wrecked because i've got GIST.

An update for how your enjoying the game is fine.
But no need for an update on your adventures as it's all the same for everyone, VERY LINER, from left to right, or bottom to top you move across the instanced zones. When your on the higher end of leveling a zone you can freely bounce around and gather harvesting.
Don't miss out on all the small caves every two levels or so. This is were you will get the better loot making crafting kind of worthless.
hi del', not sure about crafting being kind of useless. i've been making staffs and armour sets and the glyphs to put in them that is a better than most, if not all, of the gear i've found as loot of the same level. plus with crafted gear you can put the traits on it that you want on it. and soon be able to make stuff with 2 traits which is even more of an advantage.
just wish they'd allow you to craft jewelry, that's 3 slots that you could use to add more to your sets. although using a 3 item set there atm i'd have liked to be able to craft what is in those slots.

Afther watching alot of the dev videos I decided it was time to come back. Found the game on Amazon.com for $24 and actually got same day shipping for $6. Ordered the game around 9:30 AM Saturday morning and around 5:30 PM the game was being delivered at my door. Amazon is the best. Anyway I am glad to be back and look forward to the future.
I think jewelery crafting is coming in a future update.
Also you can upgrade most loot items if you got the tempers through crafting.
You can do a bit more in the game's ini.
I.e when i played the beta, i set my view distance up to a level way beyond the option's slider (where max was a value of "100") to enjoy more of the game's visuals.
As a comment, this game has a nice deep crafting system; once you get crafting going, you'll almost always want a crafted set because of the very nice bonuses. As a tip - if you are interested in crafting try not to load multiple crafts on a character.
Another tip - if you care about crafting invest a point in research fairly early. It doubles the speed with which you research traits. Once you have 2 traits on an item you can craft special set weapons and armor; even the 2 and 3 trait sets are solid. Once you're a few months in, the 4, 5 and 6 trait sets give you a lot of flexibility in designing your armor choices.
I did well with one character who did provisioning and alchemy (neither needs a lot of points); one who did blacksmith; one with enchanting; one with cloth and wood. With highsight I'd probably have swapped wood and alchemy. You actually don't need to level them up much at all to keep the crafting up with the progress of your main; I'd recommend making your main blacksmith if they do heavy armor or cloth if they do medium / light.
Good luck in Tamriel!

Nice to see a new player enjoying it for all the good things it has to offer. It really is a very enjoyable MMO that is getting more robust by the day.
Personally I'm taking a short break from it just because Archeage caught my interest and I normally play just one MMO at a time. But I will definitely be back at some point.

Good post, thank you.
I've been keeping an eye on this - I played a bit in Beta, it didn't hook me outright. But if I could catch it on sale I would probably give it a go, now that most of the fallout has shaken loose and they appear to still be supporting the game and pushing forward with it.
It's still $60 on Steam right now - that's too much for me, but yeah, if I found it for $15 or less I'd probably at least burn the free 30 days on that.
Glad you're enjoying the game!
I burned out at v2. Maybe I'll check it out again after update 5 hits.

Why? I loved Oblivion and I loved Skyrim. For some reason I love ESO. I knew the difference up front between an MMO and a single player game.

After witnessing the worst the MMO community has to offer in Archeage, Ive been really feeling at home amongst the ESO players. For me the community makes or breaks a game.
Likewise. I have experienced some pretty severe lag, and with other players reporting the same issues in zone chat I don't think its just my connection to the server that's the problem. Needs to be sorted asap.
@op, glad you're enjoying it. I loved the journey to 50.

This is slightly inaccurate... While the quest line is somewhat linear (especially the main quest, as it is with ALL elder scrolls games...), the game feels very open-ended to me. I play very role-playing-centric in that I talk to every npc (most of them have something interesting and unique to say!), I look at every item (you can pick up almost all weapons and armor you see on the ground, plus they have a plethora of barrels and other things you can loot), I travel to every end of the map (I have a mod that takes out the fully explored map, so you have to look around to find what's out there; this made the game really fun for me). I would like to see another MMO out there right now (made in the last 10 years) that has this depth of both story and role-playing/open ended playability. I agree it isn't a full sandbox, but it gets pretty damn close when you play it the way I have been.
Actually, the only 'persistent' Zones in the game are in Cyrodiil, the rest are 'instanced' through the megaserver and are created/closed as player numbers increase or decrease and move from zone to zone, it allows the game to feel more 'alive' as it centralises players, so that they are not forced to solo if they don't wish to, because of a lack of players in their area of play.
