Don&#8217;t even have to set up a subscription service. I was hoping I could get a better deal if I went with the Standard edition and got this upgrade, but the price difference is the same as the difference between the Standard and Deluxe editions ($16.05). So no cost-cutting for me, sadly. :\/<\/p>\n<p>ESO&#8217;s Tech Support has also responded (around 6:30 in the morning)&#8230; but a bit too late. However, I&#8217;m still waiting for Green Man Gaming to get back to me of that ticket to get my $15 back. I&#8217;m starting to get worried that I may not get a refund due to the sale expiring.<br \/>\nDue to this&#8230; I.. <em>might<\/em> give ESO another chance. Since the money has been spent (and I can&#8217;t close the account).<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve responded, asking &#8220;Why should I give you guys another chance?&#8221;, telling them how I felt. Yet also asking why was I missing the .dll, when I wasn&#8217;t. Mmmm.. dunno. Maybe ESO might be possible for me after all.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, <strong>enough<\/strong> of ESO. You&#8217;re here because I got the Deluxe edition. I have access to all chat channels now. And with the Deluxe Edition, I got the added &#8216;bells and whistles&#8217;&#8230; mainly I wanted the hoverboard. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>I had to ask several times, how do you go about claiming the rewards. I had thought I have to find a mailbox (as in WoW, rewards are sent like that). Finally I got my answer to check my account thingy, and there it was (with the other things I got). Was having a bit of an issue with claiming the hoverboard.<br \/>\nBasically, it&#8217;s similar to Guild Wars 2 (in terms of the rewards). Everything I got is bound to one character and that&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I deleted my char (my first one). And he&#8217;s sitting there crying because I&#8217;m about to delete him. I&#8217;m all &#8220;Don&#8217;t cry you big baby, I&#8217;m going to recreate you!&#8221; In the character select screen, I discovered I could had picked my race\/class\/path even in the Free Trial. It&#8217;s not like WoW and Guild Wars 2, where there&#8217;s class options on the right.<br \/>\nHere, there&#8217;s a button where it shows &#8220;Race&#8221;, &#8220;Class&#8221; and &#8220;Path&#8221; respectively. You click on them, and here you can select who you wanna be. Clever. So I chose once again to be a Human. But an Engineer with the Science path (as it would make sense as an Engineer).<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t like the Explorer path. Felt too much like Guild Wars 2&#8217;s Vista bullshit. Jumping puzzles are not for me. I could had picked the Assassination path, but I felt that would be too harsh on my DPS.<\/p>\n<p>The Engineer is kind of like a Ranger or Hunter, having pets (robots) that can help them. However, not always. My bots don&#8217;t seem to hold aggro as much as I want, forcing mobs to be in my face constantly. Don&#8217;t like that. However, I&#8217;ve been able to take down Elites (&#8220;Superiors&#8221; in this game) using the power of my bots (as they do pull the aggro off for awhile).<br \/>\nAlso, I&#8217;m not in the same place as I was when I left the Arkship. It doesn&#8217;t matter, though. Just different quests and a different environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And free playtime &#8217;till August 30th!
