ESO:

• PS4/5 Outages
  • https://twitter.com/TESOnline/status/1379509638991872007?s=20
  • Problem was due to ZOS having an issue with the build on their end
  • Due to the extended outage they are:
    • We are extending the Anniversary Jubilee event by a few days for ALL players – it will now run until Thursday April 15 at 10am EDT for all platforms
    • On PS4/5 only: The day 7 daily login reward will be modified to give five 150% experience boost scrolls (to make up for lost time)
    • On PS4/5 only: The day 8 daily login reward will be modified to give players this month's pet (the Ayleid Wolf Pup, previously awarded on day 21) to make sure no one misses the reward due to disruption in their play schedule
    • On PS4/5 only: The normal day 7 and 8 rewards will be moved later in the month, so you won't miss out on them either
• Jubilee Event!
  • Seventh anniversary of ESO (initial release 4th April 2014).
  • The Anniversary Jubilee event begins Thursday, April 1 at 10AM EDT, and will run until Tuesday, April 13 Thursday, April 15th at 10AM EDT.

I will ask our guests what they have been working on in the world of TES! This can be game play, wiki work, discord things, anything relevant to UESP/TES that you’ve been working on the past couple weeks / when you were last on the show.

• Pylawn
  • I can’t really talk about too much of what I’ve been working on…
  • Tune in next week for MUCH more information!
  • SlashLurk: selene's web was the 2nd ever dungeon we buil
• Doc
  • Loads of Jubilee event...my toons are gonna need a new workout regime after all this cake they’ve been eating!
  • Hosted a massive group Scavenger hunt for one of my Guilds(Pan’s Playground) last night. Was a HUGE turnout, and had loads of fun...visiting 37 homes and seeing everyone’s creativity is always awesome. My brain’s fried from all the hints(60 in total) I had to come up with!
  • Did the hardmodes in vBlack Drake Villa with friends, and got the cool “Fire Chaser” title. LOVE that dungeon. Definitely a new favorite of mine!
  • Finished decorating my Stone Eagle Aerie(like literally used all 700 furnishing slots already!). Started posting a few pics on my insta, and will post more within the week. Definitely proud of how it turned out! <3

Topic: An Interview with Xynode!

Questions for Xynode!

• Tell us more about yourself!
• When did you get started with ESO? Did you play any Elder Scrolls games before? Other MMOs?
• When did you start making content for ESO?
• What motivated you to want to become a content creator, and why for ESO?
• You’re on all the platforms it seems, which do you prefer and what benefits do you find in each?
• What’s your favourite race/class?
• You often don’t take the standard “popular” approaches to your builds, what kind of thought process do you go through when creating them?
  • Using this point to talk more about the fact that there doesn’t need to be a “meta” in ESO since it’s much more flexible
• What keeps you coming back to ESO?
• Any finishing encouraging thoughts/pointers you could give to any of our listeners who might have dreams to become content creators for maybe ESO or other games in the future?
