    Care to do some testing? Somebody on the Unity Technologies forums mentioned his computer having a test result of 145 on https://web.basemark.com/

    I did the test for my computer and got 295.31. Now I have no idea what I must think about that if I cannot  compare with others' computers... ;)

    Wow I ran that test and I got 515.42

    AMD FX 8370 Black at 4.0 Ghz

  2. The beauty of playing is exploring characters. Some of us try to maximise our characters based on their race characteristics and then sometimes you like to just play around with different combinations for the fun of it. Me, I finally got around to trying to maximise my characters based on race. and I have 9 characters. :) I played sorcerers for a long time and they were just too squishy for me, but one did all the base game except for Cyrodiil before I retired her for crafting writs. My favorite is templars since they have good self heals, can be very versatile as either a DPS, a full blown healer or a combination of the two. They are good either as a stam build or magic. I prefer the magic, but I've heard stamplars are really good too.  

    As for the grinding, only grinding I do is the first hour getting all 9 of my characters to get their writs done. I'm in  5 guilds and I usually hang out with a few of my friends doing the daily Undaunted pledges, occasionally trials or fishing. <- that seems to have the quiet effect of putting me to sleep. :)

    some of the things you mentioned previously bother me as well, but over all I enjoy my time in the game and I just try to not lets idiots drag me down. 

     

    PS.. Aussie500 and Malx1 who are members here are also playing and we share a lot of times together in a couple of our guilds. Authmour plays as well.

  3. Actually Cyrodiil is not a PVE area. It is specifically a PVP area as are the sewers and battlegrounds. Sorry you had such a bad experience there. My first time in I made it less that 5 minutes out the camp gate before I got killed. Walking along looking at the scenery ....  And to be honest, you have a little arrow over your head showing what alliance you belong to and anyone in any of the other alliances has no idea if you are a PVPer or PVEer. they only see what is over your head. As to some of your other CONs, yes they are in a minority, and they make a lot of noise. I tend to just tune out as much as possible and just try to enjoy myself. There is just too much content to do to be concerned about the idiots. (in my honest opinion) . Hope you keep playing and find your spot that you enjoy.

     

    Edit: If you want to see Cyrodiil my suggestion would be to use the Under 50 champion points campaign. Ask some friends to show you around. You still might have some idiots, but Kyne is a starter/learning area for most of us. I have been playing for 4 years and that's the only campaign I play in. For the most part people tend to be more forgiving there. I play with the Ebonheart pact and if you have a character in that alliance I'd gladly show you around.

  5. This is Sadie. We got her from the Humane Society a little over 2 years ago as a puppy. She was 9 weeks old and they had just brought her, her sister and 2 brothers back from the vets. Lady holding Sadie stood right next to me and asked if "anyone' wanted to hold her. Well guess you know who said yes :)

    Oh and she is 1/2 Red Golden Retriever and only the Lord knows what the other part is. Think it might be lab *shrugs*

    On the TESA front she's safe for now thanks to the Civil War RolePlay team on TESA's RP boards. They've pledged to continue helping so the site should be fine now until I'm able to pick up the slack again. :toast:

    For my personal situation, we have a good prospect on a new rental home but we're a couple grand shy of covering the expenses, hopefully we can fundraise a bit more and resume some level of normal soon. We only see my wife once a week on her day off now; which has been particularly rough on the kids :(

     

    Hope you get that break soon. Kind of in the same situation here with my wife working all the time too. May be rough on the kids, but I know it isn't easy on you either. Chin up my friend, better times are ahead. :toast:

  7. I had a hard time with graphics and did a lot of experimenting on the side before I took the Skyrim texture class. I learned more taking that class than I did on over a year of experimenting and trying on my own to figure things out. I highly recommend taking the class. There hasn't been much support lately due to the fact that the teacher has been working on the game project that rider is getting ready to release. One thing that might help is to look through each course where those that have completed the work have their work as a guide. I was the first to complete the class way back when.

  8. One day, the WonderDog and I were hiking off the trail. She was ahead of me. I looked to my left and there, about 30 feet away, stood 6 deer watching us. The WonderDog didn't see or smell them. Those creatures are absolutely silent, and apparently they understand how to stay upwind. Nice pics Arion - they reminded me of that day, and how stupid I feel for having never bought a camera.  :):pubsong:

    Don't feel bad about not having your camera. About a month ago I saw 3 of them walking up the driveway. I was so flabbergasted that I was frozen at the kitchen window. When they went around the back of the house and were coming along side of the pump house I suddenly thought; "Hey stupid, you think a camera would be a good idea!" I managed to go grab my camera and get a picture of the last doe as she came under the bedroom window before going down the side of the hill. About an hour later I heard a noise and I looked out the front window and the 3 had come back up in the front yard and were rubbing against the porch. :faint: I watched them with my camera for the next 2 1/2 hours as they went to the edge of the yard and laid down. I have the pictures on my facebook page.

     

    So nice to be able to see wildlife from your front window. :)
