I'm officially in the City of the Sun God, and this is my very favorite area of the game so far. I love everything about it. Also, every quest I've been doing lately has been rated at "very hard," with even a smattering of "devastating" ones, and none of them have really been much of a challenge since Blue Mountain. I'm beginning to think that I've passed over a curve to a point where my build is getting a little overpowered. I'm sure something will come along and put me in my place, but right now, I feel like king of the (ancient) world.

Also, I really want to do the Egypt dungeons with you guys soon!

Like, I went to the Scorched Desert when I still had several "hard" and "very hard" missions in Blue Mountain. I just wanted to get a taste, thinking that I'd wander a little bit, get my ass handed to me by cultists a few too many times, and limp back to New England to keep leveling a bit before heading back. It was not to be so! I started murdering filthy atenists, ghouls, and giant locusts and never looked back! Now I'm knee deep in delicious filth, mummies, and giant monster skeletons, having the absolute time of my life!
I'm running a shotgun/ pistol dps build, and pretty much murdering most things before they can take too many hits on me. I have a passive that gives me a little HoT every time I penetrate (which is just about every time I hit, thanks to my other passives, a gadget I made, and breaching shot), and I have turn the tables slotted just to have a decent self heal when I'm out on my own. Overall, it's been working out splendidly--I've only died once since getting to the Aten's Holy City. Soon--very soon--I shall be all caught up with you guys!

Ancient Egyptians all have British accents because they were practicing for a far future when they would all end up in the British Museum as mummies.

Sounds like you're doing really well. Egypt gave me a lot of trouble, mostly because I would get lost and run into all the wrong places. However the personal story in Egypt is incredibly good - but then I say that about the entire personal story.

Yeah it's so easy to get lost in Egypt. In City of the Sun God I took to just getting up on the mountains and using them like a freeway of sorts.

Congrats on being a badass. I wanna do the dungeons there soon too. Maybe the three of us should just hash out a basic battle plan to be an unstoppable trio. Like Team Rocket but less shitty. I call Meowth.

I work tonight and have the next two days off. Let's do some dungeons.

We should try the Scorched Desert one again. Miiiight be able to do it now, especially if we can recruit John or Jonas too.

I'll be home tonight by 11 and I'm off tomorrow after five and all day Saturday (as long as my new job doesn't schedule me yet). I'm totally James, the ladyboy. Actually, I'd be fine with Jesse too... Her hair is fabulous.

Also, you should know that immediately after posting the original message in this thread, I noticed a marked increase in how often I died. I kind of feel like the guy who challenged God to sink the titanic.

Today at work, for some reason, I couldn't help but think of how polar opposite Dydreas the human Illuminati and Dydreas the rape-able wood elf are.

Hah Dydreas was so cute. I just wanted to snuggle him and feed him cake.
I miss that story. Had such wonderful ideas for Dorian. Namely secret Namira worshiping ideas.

I'll probably renew ESO next week, now that I've finished Tokyo. I just hope that by the time the Orochi Tower dungeon is released, EVERYONE has at least QL10 and will be ready to go. That dungeon sounds fabulous and horrifying.

Hah Orochi. I've been in the Carpathian Fangs all day findin their dead bodies. Saw a group of them crash their snowmobiles into trees and blow up xD

We still need to do that tower defense thang in Tokyo.

Yeah there's still a ton of side missions left in Tokyo to do, and a couple of main missions. I'm not finished farming sequins by a long shot - those Venetians in Tokyo sell some pretty nice stuffs. I'd also like to do some of the event, dammit. And mission packs, and Last Train to Cairo, and... and... and...

There's no shortage of shit I want to do in TSW, but I haven't finished ESO's main story. I wanna pop back in and see what's up.

Oh I forgot you didn't finish it! Yeah, don't blame you then. Definitely wouldn't put it on the same level as tsw's story, but things get pretty intense.
I'll definitely be going back when there's more to do than veteran rank stuff. It's cool going to the different regions, but i felt as if most of the quests had the same basic flavor to them, just in different regions. Also, having to help out the other alliances was weird; twas very forced and out of character.

I'm QL8 right now, so I should definitely be 10 by then. I was just reading an article on polygon today about how zenimax is addressing all the feedback on the endgame of ESO and how the next few patches will focus on rebalancing the difficulty curve of vr and making it more solo-able, as well as balancing the rewards for certain missions. If there's one thing I'd give zenimax credit for, it's listening to the player base and responding with the sort of updates people actually want.

Gratz on the QL8. Let us know when you hit London Underground
All I want are Dark Brotherhood, Thieves Guild, and massive questlines helping all the Daedra/Aedra. Oh and player housing. And vanity clothing. And and and uh, netch mounts. So not much.

I want cliffracer mounts. Actually, I want a whole class based around cliffracer training and summoning. Like, it could be a batman sort of class, except with a cliffracer motif instead of bats, and actual live cliffracers would be your weapons. Also, cliffracers as a playable race.

NO!

A cliff racer summoner would be horrible!

I had such a nice house in Aion. Lakeside with beach access, nice garden, safe neighborhood. I'd love to have housing in ESO. We could visit one another, have tea parties. I want housing in TSW too, but I want an upper west side penthouse befitting a high ranking Lumie.

Player housing is one of my most favorite of all things in an mmo and so few of them have it.

I want an abandoned warehouse shithole loft in tsw! Well, not a loft, need a separate sex/torture room and a walk-in closet. Can visit Calvin's penthouse for an aesthetics re-up.
