Very cool :D

I was wondering how that will work and look.

Question: I wonder how likely to find a group in game to do content like this if one is "solo mode" and your guild(s) are in low pop (aka non peek times for the servers). In other words, how likely to group (aka find) with strangers for content like this?

One has up to 5 guilds to draw from

Also, in non peek times the mega server will combine shards for people to be on the map.

Indeed so, also remember if you deal damage or heal people, even if you're not in a group, you'll get rewarded since there's no mob tagging.

Win-Win.

They made that dark anchor look easy! I died like 10 times taking one out with others.

Nice video!

What would be the incentive to close these dark anchors? :)

Not like going to Oblivion in Oblivion (game)? That is fun, but very long to do at times. I was hopeing that they have some plane walking as well.

That will probably be in parts of the main quest line.

^^Remember though, this video was done in a closed environment. In theory its a cool thing, but in practice more often than not it will be surrounded by something more like 20-50 players by the time it gets going and all the monsters would drop within seconds of spawning, it kind of takes away from the experience. I hope they at least have one really big instanced anchor where you take a party in and fight it just with them, something like this but just lasting a little long and having a bigger boss to finish up.

Cool vid glad they are coming out and talking more about skills and builds again. So excited for it to go live.

The video doesnt do the summoning of the anchors justice, first priority if anyone comes across one being summoned just stand there and watch its worth it.

I really liked their new visuals for Dark Anchors. Although they are still basically "kill anything that moves", it's quite fun (they remind me of Dead Branch Parties in my first MMO, Ragnarok Online).

Also, you learn something new every day:

Even though many lesser Daedra are associated with a Daedric Prince in particular, in reality, any individual Daedroth can serve any Daedric Prince by taking part in an "Oath Bond" while others stay unaligned, though the specifics are characteristically unknown.
