Elevate Your ESO Home: A Sneak Peek into December 2023 Crown Store Offerings

Nowadays, more and more people have access to video games, which have gradually evolved from the original entertainment and pastime to a new century art with the nature of a cultural carrier. Maybe there are old-fashioned and stubborn people who don’t think so, but this is the fact. Therefore, some games will publicly promote the ideas they support through other activities based on their own influence while designing inherent gameplay and exclusive worldviews, such as Pride Parade held by Elder Scrolls Online in previous years. What Is ESO Pride Parade? The event was first held in 2023 and was jointly initiated by game developers, some game anchors, and other supporters. The main purpose is to provide LGBTQ+ players with an anonymous parade opportunity. This event has nothing to do with your main game progress and gameplay. It is just a small-scale carnival with political and social colors in the game. However, even if you are not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you can participate in it out of support and love of excitement. Every year, Pride Parade will set different parade start times and routes in the game, and last about 45 minutes. During this period, you will see many players gathering together on the route, declaring their identities and positions by launching rainbow-colored props or other means. Can The Server Support This Activity? Although not all players will participate, the final number of people is still not to be underestimated, and there is no doubt that this puts a lot of pressure on the game server. As you know, Cyrodiil’s PVP gameplay has been stuck for a long time due to overload. The good news is that Pride Parade will divide all participants into different groups to reduce server pressure. But in fact, starting this year, ESO’s overall server carrying capacity has increased. For example, after the adjustment test of Cyrodiil Champions, the situation where you lose ESO gold due to lag in PVP mode should be reduced. Pride Parade In 2025 This year’s Pride Parade is hosted by the LGBTQIA guild Alphabet Mafia in game, which announced that the parade will start at 8:15 pm EST on Saturday, June 14, 2025, and the parade area will be Auridon in the game. If you want to participate or watch, you can gather at the first fortress signpost in the north of Auridon. The team will go south through Auridon along the main road of Vulkhel Guard and end with a beach party. There are no requirements for the parade. As long as you are friendly, you can dress your character in any way to join the parade. So you also have the opportunity to meet many interesting players! Rules Of Participation The parade has no hard and fast rules for friendly players, but as you know, whether in the real world or in the social environment of the game, the LGBTQ+ community is generally not very recognized, and there are even players who hate this niche group. Therefore, for the sake of your account security, game social experience, and server stability, if you want to participate in Pride Parade, it is best to follow the following rules: Let your character walk instead of running. If malicious players join and send unfriendly or even insulting remarks, do not argue with them, just block them and take screenshots of their remarks. Turn off the name tag and hide the user interface to ensure that the screenshots you get are clear enough. Please do not bring combat pets, as well as unnecessary non-combat pets or mounts. This parade will only be held on PC-NA server, so be careful not to make a mistake. In addition, according to the news in the relevant Discord group, Alphabet Mafia should hold other Pride events in the future-if there is no unexpected attack. The Degree Of Friendliness Seems To Be Declining Year By Year To be honest, it is not surprising at all. There are always some cisgender heterosexual players who are self-righteous, so they do not support or even attack Elder Scrolls Online Pride Parade and other related events. “Negative” and “disgusting” remarks are endless. But compared with the past, this year’s public opinion environment seems to be worse. You will find that the post announcing the event on the game sub-forum has even been closed, leaving only a bunch of deleted comments. For this reason, Alphabet Mafia, the person in charge of the parade, had to take precautions on Discord and closed all public groups where you can discuss with other parade participants to prevent bad elements from getting in. This series of measures undoubtedly killed the excitement of the event. Although Alphabet Mafia has announced that the parade will not be canceled or postponed, you may still be worried. Should ESO Hold Such Events? In fact, Pride Parade is not the only event in Elder Scrolls Online that expresses support for the LGBTQ+ community. In update 44, the game also introduced the first non-binary companion Tanlorin, which caused controversy at the time. In general, games are of course not obliged to promote such ideas, and this will inevitably offend some players who disagree, but ESO still chooses to do so. You can think they are hyping, but after all, it does not harm anyone’s interests. From a personal perspective, you can disagree with LGBTQ+ and even say goodbye to Elder Scrolls Online because of it, but insulting related players and activities is indeed unnecessary and ridiculous. Playing games is for fun, not for quarrels, right?

As a successful MMORPG, Elder Scrolls Online has maintained good popularity since its launch in 2014. To this day, an average of 30,000 players are still conducting various interesting explorations and battles on Tamriel continent every day. If you are one of these players, then you must know that Tamriel is the main background continent in ESO. It is extremely vast, containing various game areas with different landforms and styles, and it is also the story foundation for the main storyline of the game. But besides these contents, there are actually many rich side stories in ESO for you to complete. They not only have high-quality stories independent of the main storyline but also provide you with various props, including Elder Scrolls Online Gold as quest rewards. Based on this, we will select 7 side quests worth completing for you among all the side quests in the current game. 1.Unearthed Quest This quest is given to you by Foreman Gandis of Shor’s Stone Mine, who can be found in Skyrim, the cold but bustling northern region of Tamriel. He will then ask you to first free his men from Reachmen hiding in the ancient companion’s tomb. After successfully passing the persuasion check, you can get a key to a secret door to make it faster through the mines and reach the tomb. However, the last chamber is protected by a puzzle, and this puzzle requires you to visit an antechamber to find Medallion of Fireheart, and then visit another antechamber to find Amulet of Darkhammer. Completing this will give you Gold, around 2800 XP, and Companion’s Chausses. 2. Summer Site In the jungles of Bosmer homeland of Valenwood, you can talk to Tharuin the Melancholy near Dra’bul Wayshrine and learn that Falinesti Summer Site has been delayed in returning to the area. Tharuin explains that there have been recent lightning strikes and Daedra sightings nearby. You then need to investigate these events. During the process, you will see a purple light emanating from a stone archway. When you approach, you will encounter a projection of a woman who seems to be trying to save the city. She then instructs you to meet her in a small cave across a wooden bridge, which triggers a battle with Daedra. This means that the portal to Oblivion is closed and you need to start a boss fight with Tulu the Daedroth. 3. Ghostwriter Of Giovesse Ghostwriter of Giovesse quest has a classic RPG style and starts with Author’s Assistant Wanted! flyer. In this quest, you need to provide assistance to the author Yisara, who usually appears in Egg and Hammer Inn in Gideon. At first, it is just a simple escort mission, the purpose of which is to inspire Yisara to write the next novel. But as you progress through the quest, you’ll find that the quest plot is intertwined with Yisara’s novel ideas, leading you and Yisara to search for historical clues in the haunted halls of Castle Giovesse and solve the ultimate mystery to complete the quest. 4.

Group content in Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is a dynamic and engaging aspect of the game that offers immense challenges and rewards. Whether you're new to ESO or looking to sharpen your skills, this comprehensive guide will delve into the world of group content, providing invaluable tips and insights. From understanding roles to mastering buff food and debuffs, we've got you covered with everything you need to succeed in group adventures. Roles in Group Content In ESO, roles are pivotal in group content. Understanding these roles and their unique contributions is essential for efficient teamwork. Here's a breakdown of the primary roles: - Tanks: Tanks are responsible for taunting enemies, aggregating additional foes, and supporting teammates through buffs and debuffs. Their role involves maintaining the boss's attention and protecting the group. - Healers: Healers are tasked with keeping the team's health pools topped off. Additionally, they play a critical role in buffing allies and debuffing enemies to enhance group survivability. - Damage Dealers (DPS): DPS players focus on dealing damage to enemies. Their primary responsibility is to bring down foes swiftly and effectively. Swapping Roles in Group Content In ESO, players can easily swap roles in group content to adapt to the situation. The game's Group and Activity Finder provides a simple interface to switch roles between tank, healer, and DPS. Changing roles can be done without a cooldown, but it's crucial to understand the responsibilities associated with each role when participating in group activities. Resurrection Etiquette An unspoken rule in ESO group content is who should perform character resurrections. Generally, the order of preference starts with DPS players, followed by healers, and finally tanks. This hierarchy is based on the distinct responsibilities of each role. DPS players are the safest choice for resurrecting, as healers can focus on keeping them protected, and tanks can control enemy aggression effectively. Positioning in Group Content Understanding positioning is vital in group content. In most situations, tanks should engage enemies by taunting and positioning themselves between the group and the boss. DPS players usually stand behind the boss, while healers take a position behind the DPS but close enough to support the tank. This formation optimizes buffs and points the boss away from the group. Keep in mind that this is a general guideline and that specific encounters may require different formations. Tank First: Group Content Etiquette In ESO, it's essential to observe proper etiquette in group content. When initiating combat with a group of enemies, whether in boss fights or encounters with smaller foes, the tank should be the first to engage. This unwritten rule ensures smoother pulls and enhances group safety. Allowing anyone other than the tank to initiate combat can lead to random targeting by enemies, which can disrupt the flow of the battle. Letting the tank dictate the pace of engagement is crucial in ensuring everyone's survival. Chest Etiquette in ESO Dungeons and Trials in ESO are filled with treasure chests, and understanding how to handle them is important. Unlike overland chests, group content chests can be looted by every group member, and each player receives their unique loot. It's customary to inform your group when you discover a chest by typing "chest" in the group chat and waiting for your teammates to arrive. Even if not everyone decides to loot the chest, standing by it and attacking it occasionally to indicate its location is a considerate practice. Handling Dungeon Quests Every ESO dungeon features an associated quest that offers skill points and gear upon completion. If you're in a pickup group (PUG) and wish to explore a dungeon's story at a leisurely pace, it's advisable not to pick up the quest right away. This is because, with a PUG, the group might be more inclined to complete the dungeon quickly rather than focusing on the storyline. However, if you're only interested in the skill points, it's better to grab the quest and inform your group by typing "doing quest" in the group chat. Some dungeons contain additional bosses related to the quest, so letting your teammates know your intentions is a considerate gesture. "Baby Character" and Group Content In ESO, players often encounter terms like "baby random normals" or "easy random normals." These phrases typically refer to characters below level 45, commonly known as "baby characters." Experienced players frequently offer their services for easy random normal dungeons to lower-level players, even if they're playing with a "baby character." This is because ESO's dungeon queue system selects dungeons that all players in the group can participate in. Base-game dungeons are generally perceived as easier, making them ideal for beginners. As such, new players at level 10 should feel encouraged to participate in group content with the assistance of veteran players. The Importance of Buff Food Using buff food is paramount when engaging in group content in ESO. Buff food can significantly enhance your character's abilities by increasing maximum resource pools, regeneration rates, and more. It's essential to select the right type of buff food to match your character's class and role. Players can choose from a vast array of recipes, so seeking guidance from class-specific builds or content creators is a wise move. In doubt, selecting food that boosts maximum health, maximum resources, and resource regeneration is a safe and reliable choice. Potions: A Key Asset in Group Content Potions play a crucial role in ESO group content. They offer both instant resource replenishment and ongoing resource regeneration. Equipping potions to your quickslots ensures you can access them quickly during combat. The free Crown Tri-Restoration Potion offered for login is an excellent choice for players who are just starting with potions. Learning how and when to use potions is a fundamental aspect of successful group content play. Passives: Enhancing Buff and Debuff Durations Certain passives in ESO can prolong the duration of buff and debuff effects from food and potions: - Gourmand and Connoisseur (Provisioning Skill Line): These passives can add up to 20 minutes to the duration of food and drink buffs. - Rationer (Craft CP Tree): This passive can extend the duration of buffs from food and drink that enhance your character's stats by up to 30 minutes. - Medicinal Use (Alchemy Skill Line): This passive increases the duration of the potion you're using by 30%. These passives are vital for maximizing the benefits of buff food and potions, contributing to better group performance. Buffs and Debuffs in Group Content Buffs and debuffs are temporary character effects applied by abilities, gear sets, or potions. Understanding how these effects interact is crucial for group optimization. It's important to note that two buffs or debuffs with the same name won't stack. However, Major and Minor buffs or debuffs of the same type can stack, offering additional advantages. Group members should collaborate to ensure the most efficient use of these effects, maximizing the group's potential. Stacking Buffs in ESO Group members can stack multiple buffs to achieve a common goal, significantly enhancing their abilities. By carefully coordinating these effects, players can improve their damage output, survivability, and overall group performance. Here is an example: Spell Power Cure: + 430 Weapon and Spell Damage Claw of Yolnahkriin: + 215 Weapon and Spell Damage Powerful Assault: + 289 Weapon and Spell Damage Pearlescent Ward: + 170 Weapon and Spell Damage Spaulder of Ruin: + 260 Weapon and Spell Damage Total Weapon and Spell Damage: 1364 And Spaulder of Ruin can yield a substantial increase in weapon and spell damage. In conclusion, mastering group content in ESO is a rewarding endeavor. Understanding the roles, following group content etiquette, and optimizing your character's capabilities with buff food and potions are all critical components of success. By cooperating effectively with your group, you can conquer challenging dungeons, trials, and other group activities in Elder Scrolls Online.
