I want to say beforehand that i am a casual player. I dont care about BIS or rotations or whatever. I have been playing a resto staff dps then a non block tank and recently a frost templar. This proves that i am not that good lol.
However, despite all of that the overland feels too easy. I remember in the early levels i used to die a lot but obviously i have improved. Now every chapter they hype up an enemy who turns out to be meh.
Do you think its time we got an undaunted goblet or something that causes overland to get stronger only for us (and not everyone else)
I mean i cant really see any reason not to do this. It doesnt effect us casuals but others might appreciate it.
I usually see on various forums when someone asks for harder overland "go play PVP" maybe they dont want to pvp? I also hear "overland isnt supposed to be hard. If you want hard do vet trials" Thats kinda unfair. People get like one trial per year. So anyone looking for slightly harder ESO should get a single piece of content yearly. IMO thats harsh.
What are your thoughts??
Edit: Guys i am not asking to make overland harder for everyone. That would be unfair to those who like the current version. I am not asking for a whole new overland. That would be too much work for devs.
I am just asking for the ability to toggle a debuff that makes me and anyone else who uses it weaker. A few cosmetic and currency rewards and thats it. Also no i dont want to remove all my armor and fight nude. No fun in such gimping. I want a glorious debuff. Thanks.
Edit 2: One trial a year means one new trial every year.
Hey guys :) Since quite a while im flirting with the idea of starting overlanding for myself and due to my preparations i of course watched a ot of youtube vids (of course i read a lot as well).
Yet there is something i dont quite understand. In my circle of friends and acquaintances i got a few which swear on their g wagons, online it seems to be a lot more divided...Most common critique seems to be that this car evolved into a soccer moms car with the years with only barely use in the offroad departement. Yet in most comparison vids it does not seem to be that bad.
So my question would be rather, why are there only a few builds with the g wagon??
I mean, almost every other offroad car seems to have quite the aftermarket support (for example them jeeps...).
So what is the reason for that? Is there just not a lot to modify, isnt the car that great to begin with, or is it simply to expensive to risc damaging it with broken parts?

Hi folks, My truck is built to get down some nasty trails, as I like to go to hard to access places. Coming up I am doing a 3 week tour of northern US Rockies second half of august, and will likely not see any real aggressive trails, mostly my off grid travel will be forest service, blm and logging roads. This said I am thinking of ditching my transmission , transfer case and rear diff skid plates. Also thinking of bringing less spare parts(I often carry a spare CV axle and inner and outer tie rods etc). I am considering ditching the hi-lift but if I get a flat on the trail my factory bottle jack may not cut it so I am on the fence there.
Looking for suggestions. I plan to keep sliders on as side clearance seems to be more an issue than ground clearance so being able to squeeze past trees is really beneficial.
I am also thinking my 10.8 inch wide 34.5" Goodyear MT-R mud terrains are overkill(yes probably, I know). I have three sets of tires to choose from actually, a 34.5 MT-R mud terrain, a skinny 10" wide 33 KM2 mud terrain, and a 11.6 wide 33" Ridge Grappler at/mud terrain hybrid. I know there is one logging trail in Wyoming I am looking at that is a total mud pit when it rains, but otherwise mostly rocky poorly maintained gravel roads, paved country roads and highways. The 34.5 will clearly give me the best ground clearance and sloppy road traction, but not sure the tradeoff is worth it.
Looking for opinions and ideas for savings.. Really leaning towards the ridge grapplers as they are much nicer on the highway, and the smaller diameter will help mgs and power. Current gearing is stock 3.73, but can gear to 4.56 pretty quick if needed.(really considering getting the regear in ahead of time.)

Hello, I currently have a stock 06 Silverado Z71 on 33"s, which has been pretty reliable all around and pretty well maintained as far as I know. I'm a little bit skeptical to take it onto BLM land or USFS roads for fear of it breaking down and being too far away to tow out. I've been contemplating buying a newer Tacoma just for more peace of mind and maybe a slightly more comfortable ride on the highway to get to there.
Also the size and weight of the Silverado might limit where I can go, but 90% of the time it will be BLM land and USFS roads in Colorado. Should I just send it?
I'm doing extensive research before I drop the hammer, but I've dialed down enough to make a final decision. As much as I'd like to go with an all-electric truck, I think the hybrid offers far more in the way of extended driving range and off-grid fuel generated power. Breaking away from LP seems difficult too, but weening myself off of LP entirely sounds like an attainable goal.
I've decided on the F150 Hybrid, with at least the off road skid plates, trailer pkg and 7.2 kw pro-power pkg. Not sure to go with a Platinum or a well accessorized Lariat, but I'm leaning toward a fully loaded Platinum build. Availability is probably several months away, once the circuit chips production resumes, but I might get lucky and find something sooner that checks all my boxes. Using the F150 hybrid's pro-power feature also adds a whole new dimension to provide for longer off-grid opportunities. Powering a camper trailer's batteries with the onboard generator also mitigates having to use a loud gas or LP generator, compared to the more quiet idle of the F150 and its significantly larger fuel capacity. Augmenting added power by way of solar, wind and hydro energy is also something I wish to pursue.
I've narrowed my search for a Camper trailer based on my desire to not use a RTT, but still have other amenities, including a hot water and a heater combo. My short list includes the Mission Overland Summit, Boreas XT, RSK Purpose and Overkill Campers, each offering a variety of options. However, unlike a used or new car, availability of one of these camper trailers isn't like you can grab one and go. An up front deposit and long wait is the typical scenario for buying one new and the used market is relatively non-existent. Manufacturer credibility is another major concern, since most producers haven't been around long enough to warrant a strong and favorable reputation.
Please share your recommendations and insights, since I'm still very much a beginner with respect to the world of off-grid overlanding.
For those of you looking to go this summer, jump on the website as bookings opened today...
I'm locked and loaded...just got to buy myself a new tent!
Very excited.
Hello Folks of Tamriel,
i have reentered Tamriel a few weeks ago. now that i got myself comfortable again i like to farm some overlandsets for my characters.
i can solo the I dungeons. my question is can i just run banished cells I over and over again to get the tormentor set complete ?
with the stickerbook traits are not important anymore. unfortunally buying tormentor from the guildstores is not an option because no one has one. i can place a WTB in my trading guild for sure.
another question is when dismantling a recreated icon are the 25 crystals (cost for a completed set) are refunded ? (was mentioned in a video somewhere)
so core question is ... how to complete my sets / stickerbook ? best strategies ?
and i like to aquire briarheart for my nightblade tips? havent tried the dungeons solo yet.
thanks, jorval
Amd 6700, 6700xt, 6800, 6800xt, and 6900 all in stock. I just picked up a 6800
Edit: if you're upgrading from an older card, make sure you grab an extra pcie 8 prong so you don't have to go back, like I just did
I'm looking for a new car and decided I want to go SUV so I can do some overland and LIGHT off road. The problem is I dont want to spend too much. I live in WA, just moved here, and with taxes and registration your looking at about $5K on a $40K vehicle. If I had bought my car in WA I would get a tax credit based on trade in value and this could help offset the taxes but since I didn't buy my car in WA taxes and fees are all me.
So anyway, that out of the way; the plan is to get an entry level mid size SUV and once I have paid it down so I have a few $K equity and tax credit use that to get into something more suitable for the intended use. Right now I am looking at the VW Tiguan base since I could get one for $28K for a base model and probably get a deal since they dont seem to move too quickly.
If you were looking into a mid size SUV for overland and LIGHT off rd what would it be? The only car I won't consider is a base Cherokee since I drove one and it was an absolute pig. I am considering a higher model Cherokee but those are starting to get into the upper end of the price range for a car I only plan on keeping for a few years.
Edit; The bronco is out since they have about a year wait for the full size and the dealers are marking up the sports above MSRP otherwise I would consider this for a long term car. Also, if I found a Tacoma TRD off rd manual sub $40K I would buy it but I've been told by several dealers dont hold my breath. $40K is a hard ceiling and even then only If I found a bronco or tacoma and planned on keeping it long term.
I've been in the market for a new vehicle but I'm having trouble deciding between two extremes - overland rig or a sporty sedan.
I'll be commuting about an hour each day for 3+ years and need something relatively reliable. I currently have a 2016 Honda Civic but it's just not the fun that I would like in a car. I know that the types of fun are completely different but I really enjoy both car communities. My budget is about $35k.
For the Sedan: I need something that will be decent in the snow as we have mild winters where I live. It needs to have 4 seats but I'm fine with a 2 door. I would like it to be decent on gas so I'm not spending a fortune with gas prices right now lol. I would also like it to be on the smaller side. So far these are the cars that I've considered: Audi S3, Civic Type R, Hyundai Veloster N, and Golf R.
For the Overland Rig: I've considered options like a Wrangler, 4Runner, and Tacoma and I like them but I don't know of too many other options. I'm open to basically anything.
I would love to hear other options and opinions on what would be the best fit for me.
Hey guys, i have searched for quite a bit, yet io have not found any good answer to my question...
So im quite into overlanding (not specifically offroading like in those mud youtube vids), and for the last couple of days im looking for a good car to modify and take with me around the world.
i intend to keep the car my whole life, so i'm making this decision not just for now.
Of course there are those recommendations like the jeep wrangler or the land rover defender. I absolutely love jeeps and if i aint gonna find something remotely similar to what the expedition version of the 4x4Β² i'm for sure gonna work towards one of those.
Hate me but i do really love the optics of this g wagon. It reminds me of little me plaaying with his toy cars. It quite the silouette.
So maybe one of u guy does know any good alternative, i mean, quite obviously this isnt a car u can buy that easily....
But money aside, maybe someone of u saw a G wagon build which did look kindoff same.
It does not have to be a new car, not at all. Reliability is all i care for due to me wanting to be able to drive around the world without having limits on my car (hence the jeep as alternative)
I hope i can disuss some concepts all of u might have.
Thx in advance
This is for a sick relative. I live out of town and am not sure whatβs there.
I run an argonian dragonknight and enjoy tanking, but doing overland content is awful because it takes forever to kill anything. I usually just swap sets around for what Iβm doing but it just inconvenient. I just want to find a build that is tanky enough for normal dungeons just so I donβt have to swap my build every time I want to do a pledge.
I got a slow-nail-leak on an overland trip and stopped into a Tim Lowry tire shop before we got back on the interstate to come home so I wouldn't have to stop to top up the tire all the way.
*They wouldn't fix the flat* saying the tire was too old. I ended up changing to my F/S Spare from my roof rack and staring at my TPMS the whole way home. The tires were added in 2015, with 42k on them and lots of tread left. (Naturally: They were willing to sell me all a full set season radials LOL.)
I really don't want to be buying tires **under pressure** 700 miles from home on our next trip Should I go ahead and replace the tires? Is this going to be common at tire shops?
[EDIT: Update/ after good advice here, I'm replacing the tires and also adding a plug kit to my cargo box]
