With the crown sale I can get those mounts I have held off on.

Moodsor

Not bad, might spend the crowns i have left over on some of that.

I always see people posting that they never find the game at a discounted price anywhere.  Not a bad time to pick it up and both DLC's and save some cash if you don't want to subscribe.  Now if only they will add a trial.

Nice Sale

They are hurting for money. I stopped playing the more harder it got looking for a group. Group tool is either still broke or no one is using it. But then even in zone chat it takes some time to find a group. Hate to say it but I really believe they need to make some major changes in dealing with bugs and how they treat customers.

Hurting for money....so every place that does a Black Friday Sale to increase business is hurting for money?  or more logically they are trying to cash in on people looking to spend money around Black Friday....ding ding ding.

Always put off buying stuff until the holiday sales.  :-)

bcbully

Group finder works btw...

Thanks for the info OP.  I have not heard of this until now and was looking for an excuse to jump back in until I open those Christmas games.

Brenics

I just hope you stay for a while. That is what the game needs and once they do solve a few of their big problems the game could sky rocket with players. I still hold out hope! The game has to be good enough to hold the players, not the sales it has. 

Laughing-man

Gonna get this on PS4 when it goes on sale, been waiting on a sale to get it.  I'm pretty psyched!
Anyone know about how much it will cost to get all the DLC / ex packs or whatever?  Side note - Anyone else play on PS4 and wanna play? hehe

I recommend ESO to my console friends still, this will be nice.  Not playing it myself on PC right now because I just cannot get over how bad the fog looks... yet it somehow looks even worse with the mod to remove it.

I hope they do something about the fog view distance (and the distance it starts to load buildings/trees/etc).  I know it has been ages but they made a point of pushing the fog back with the Orsinium DLC, so they are thinking about it.

Lol. You are a bit out of touch. The group finder was revamped and is cross faction now and works great. And the DLC's have been great. The population on PC is higher than ever. Game is best MMO on the market.

Fog on PC?  I have my view distance cranked up. No fog. If it looks better on your console, you might want to consider moving beyond an on board graphics processor to a real graphics card.......

It doesn't look better on console, I am saying it is par for the course on console but ugly on PC.

Also, in your attempt to start something, you are making yourself sound foolish.  The view distance setting has nothing at all to do with the fog, and the fog is a constant complaint among the community.  Here are three recent threads complaining about it:

Here are some screenshots:






It is such an annoyance that one player actually made a mod to remove it.

It is rather popular and very well known among the people that actually play the game rather than just trolling about it.

I have not been using the mod because when you go through its config files, it has options for paid users to do things that are against the TOS.  On top of that, it shows that the game was clearly designed with the fog in mind, as things past the fog distance have terrible terrible textures.

Weird never had that problem, but then I use sweetfx. But even before that never seen that problem.

You are fortunate to have not noticed it, I would say, but unfortunately I imagine you will now.  Like I wrote in an earlier post, the devs are aware of the issue and actually pushed the fog back in Orsinium.  If you are playing there, it will look nicer.

Sweetfx doesn't fix the problem, though myself and others have tried to use sweetfx to alleviate it.

Going through the various presets here, a few of the creators say they are trying to fix the fog:

Unfortunately, in all the presets that show outdoor screenshots, you can still see the damn fog.

Edit:  You also could have meant that you are using the sweetfx included in the ESO Launcher, in which case the launcher is removing the fog for you.

Nope if I use launcher which most of the time I don't, only on Monday's for patches. Still never had this problem. 

I should also point out never had it when not using sweetfx.
