This card game is obviously optional and you would have to perform certain activities within ESO to start this game. I don't understand the question. How would any game force you to play a card game? What an odd question!!
@@bradfordhatt555 leads for mythics?!?! That’s forcing you to play. How odd you couldn’t figure it out, you don’t have to be a a$$ cause someone asking a question you don’t understand
This game seems like all you do is spin your wheels and buy things to ultimately do nothing? Like I get you are trying to get to 60 power but it seems lacking in interaction or combat.
@@logan5973 I sort of get it... but you want the mythic - so you want to / have to scry etc. But you want the mythic, no one made you play it to get it. It may seem like work, but you might like it, but you do have to do it to get say the ring, so if you want something that the card game offers - yes you have to play/work at it.
Its a shame. Id like to play it but at this point in life i dont see the point to learning something this complex which will provide zero benefit outside of a obscure corner of pixel land.
Your tutorial was 56 times better than the in-game tutorial. But i feel the game is way to complicated typical of ZoS. Most people will be confused and just give up, the few rest will become elite just like PvP. They could have made it a bit more simple like gwent too many rules and regulations are ruining the game.
They could have just ported the system from Elder Scrolls Legends and it works have been better in every single way. It would have been an ACTUAL deck-building game so people could build personalized and themed decks, it would have been much more sustainable and accessible, and they would have gained the entire Legends fanbase in one fell swoop.
@@AnArtInEveryLabor I just started the tutorial quests for this today knowing nothing about it beforehand and I assumed it was a deck building game. Instead it is an unnecessary convoluted game. I clicked on after my 3rd defeat but I dont really want to play a game like this, not the reason I play an MMO for.
“Flat out confused” is the most accurate comment on exactly how I felt with this card game! 😂 But thanks to you explaining it and continuing to play it on Twitch I think I’m finally getting it. 🤘😁🤘
@@gamefan8552 Just started playing it and i totally feel your pain. Lol. One tip that might help: >Think of this game like a "Draft". You both start off with nothing and must build your deck from the cards in the middle. Early on, your goal is grab as many cards as possible, that match the patrons you picked at the beginning. Once a couple of turns have passed, you now have the opportunity to play these same colored cards in order and achieve a combo. Once you get the hang of this, the rest will come in time.
I just lost 2 hours of my life I’ll never get back trying to figure this game out. I’m only playing to get a lead I want, and now I know why it doesn’t appeal to me. Totally doing my head in. If I ever get this lead it will be a miracle. Damn you ZOS.
I've watched several of these tutorial videos since the feature came out, and this is by far the best one I've seen yet. Thank you! No idea if I've got it yet, but I'll find out in a few minutes when I try yet again... for the 30th time... to win my first game.
I kinda wish they just did the old elder scrolls card game based off of hearthstone, think it was called elder scrolls legends? That was super fun and I played it all the time. Gonna have to play this game for myself but this is actually what I’m most intrigued about for the expansion because I love things like this
@@lt.danicecream they could have brought in a game just like legends with a new game / new cards and removed the story aspect. And it would have been more familiar and more fun. And not directly legends. Instead they decided to bring in this overly complicated game no one wanted.
@@TheVioletBunnyI like your idea expanding on it they could have did something like Final Fantasy 8 by incorporating cards as a loot drop in other activities that you could grind for by fighting monsters bosses etc and or using specific skills to get cards from them to add to your decks and or the ability to trade certain cards to vendors for rare items only obtainable by trading cards for them.
Thank you for clearing up several areas of confusion. My first game was a disaster as I had no idea of what I was doing. Now I have a better understanding of the game. Thanks again.
One combination that I found pretty useful Is combining the Duke of Crows deck with the Psijic Monk deck. The Duke of Crows deck is a great all-rounder, being able to draw both power AND gold AND also specializes in drawing bonus cards. The Psijic Monk deck specializes in rearranging your draw pile to make it easier to draw the cards you want, making it easier to pull off combos., though it's "meh" at both drawing power or gold, so it's best paired with another main deck. Overall, focusing on only two decks is usually preferable.
Thank you. This was so much more useful than the in game tutorial. Also, in game tutorial guy currently has glitched audio so he kept cutting himself off.
I played without really knowing what this game was - I sucked and had no idea what was going on. Found this video and first game after watching i won! Thanks so much, this explained it nicely!
Thanks, very good overview of the card game. With High Isle coming out shortly i wanted to get an idea of how the card game works and without this video I for sure would have been confused, though i don't know how the in-game tutorial will be. Like you said i'm sure this will all make even more sense once i start playing it.
Oh my god - this is the 1st guide where the info was so easy to grasp - thank you ♥ I have MS, so sometimes things are difficult to understand on some weird core level - but this was so useful and I feel much more inspired to try playing it now :)
I'm guessing the same person who added secrets & special conditions to dungeons was the same person in charge of making this card game smh. Simple ESO legends or Gwent like concept would be much easier to pick up, gonna replay the tutorial a couple of time's.
I didn't understand it even after doing the tutorial, but I understood it quite a lot after watching this video. It's a best video for the beginners like me!
Not much of a MTG player, but I seriously love GWENT from The Witcher (in game and the stand-alone version on steam) Looks like I'll be huge fan of this as well. LOVE your videos, brah. I refer new players in ESO to your YT and website all the time. Orc/WW/Bleed build is epic for how this gurl plays!
I agree. It was confusing but figuring it out makes it more exciting. I am grateful for this tutorial though. This guy did a really good job filling in all the missing pieces.
Exactly no idea why they didn’t just repackage legends with a new name and new cards and remove the story aspect. Game was fun and simple to play this is overly complicated and boring
Still totally lost after watching 3 different tutorials on how to do this. I think if I understood the end-point of victory better then I would understand the rest. It's not a knock on your tutorial though. Normally your explanations are spot-on.
Thank you for posting this! I honestly thought I would never play it, as the ESO Livestream made absolutely no sense and seemed overly complicated. However, this video was a lot more clear and now I think it looks fun. I actually played the Yu-Gi-Oh computer game years ago and actually had a lot of fun with it... this seems somewhat similar... just without the awesome Blue-Eyes White Dragon! ;)
I'm actually happy we got a card game. Of course it would be cool when they expand on what's already in the game, but i also think this update will grow on people after a while.
Yeah it really seems it's a game that you have to really play to fully understand... but nevertheless, this video was very informative and cleared a lot of questions i had... thanks a lot for it!
it is like Munchkin the card game mix with Magic the Gathering perfect mix :) thanks for the vid bud I have been watching you for months you are a great sensi
I really needed this video, but I'm still trying to figure out a couple of things. There's some conditions on the Patrons that I don't fully understand. There's text in gold, and text in white, let's take Saint Pelin for instance, Favored: (Gold) Pay 2 Power, Have 1 agent card in your cooldown pile (White) Refresh - Return up to 1 agent card from your cooldown pile to the top of your play deck. What does this mean? What is refresh, how do I refresh? Next, if we look at Celarus, Favored (Gold) Opponent has 1 agent card in their active agents, Pay 4 coin: (White) Knock Out - Place 1 of your opponent's active agents into their cooldown pile. So, how do I knock out? Also, how do we lower the health of an agent card? I have no idea how that is done, nobody has talked about it yet. :(
I played this for the first time today and was "waaaaaaa....t?" I wish ESO's tute had simply explained the "anatomy of the card" (immediate effect on the left, stack effect on the right), because just hearing what that was made my brain go "ooooooooh". Such a seemingly small thing but if you don't know, you just don't know.
I love combining Duke of Crows with Psijic Loremaster. Being able to control which cards I draw next and oftentimes I get lucky with a string of draw extra effect purple cards and I just filled up coin like a madman.
I'm glad that it's not a super simple and dumbed down card game you see in most MMO's that require no thought or strategy. however, i don't know enough about it yet to know like how much is your chance of winning based on your knowledge of the game vs luck. With decks being shared with your opponent it seems you can't really build an advantage based on how good your deck is, so hopefully your knowledge of game will be most determinate factor to winning. One thing I absolutely cannot stand is games that is almost entirely luck based and even if you're an amazing player if you have bad luck with your cards you lose, that's what I'm hoping this isn't. But i can totally see that a lot of people won't be interested in this at all if it's going to require a lot of thought and time investment. I'm totally going to give this a real chance though and watching videos like this will hopefully have me more prepared.
Nicely done Brah! You explained it a lot better then the preview 😀 only if they had made it this simple and you did it in half the time they spent there. 👍 Also you cleared some confusions I had on the game. Well done!!!
Looks as good as the companions. Dont think it will bring many of us back. but thanks for another great video! the one thing i dont get. They said they cant add something useful like a new weapon line as it will add to much code and use too much memory. This entire new system doesnt do this at all? Seems odd.
Finally understand thisngame, managed to get the green patron. What level is master? As you need to be master to play the grand masters to get another patron. Can't find the info anywhere online. I'm in xbox btw so haven't had the game for long.
"not _real_ gold - in game" heh. They should have really come up with a better name than "gold". Call it sovereigns, gilders, something. "Gold" is just going to cause - even more - confusion.
Thanks for this video. I've attempted to play this about five times in game. One time i had to play to help out Razum Da and in the end gave up and deleted the quest. To show you just how much i don't understand wtf is going on, those five patrons? I thought they were another five players! I'm not sure i'm 'much' wiser, but i'll have another go at it
I've maxed out the card game levels and noticed as I got higher up, two of the patron cards no longer function for me in game. The Crow card will say 'spend 0 gold: get 0 power', and it's worthless to try and add the favor. The St Pelin will simply say "You cannot claim this" or something of the sort. This occurs when I selected those decks or the npc opponent selects them. Any ideas?
Good tutorial Adam. Well thought out and well presented. What a HORRIBLE game Guessing a developer was given the task to create an in game card game as punishment for some unknown transgression... Developer responded with this hot mess. Obviously overdeveloped to the express purpose of alienating the majority of those that play. Wonder what the daily/weekly/monthly play rate is.
Thank you for your video. I played this game last night. Hopefully the ESO dev's are interested enough to seek out sincere feedback. I found the colors to be too dull (really) which made the contrast and definition very weak. I also felt that the patron emblem doesn't 'pop' ... that symbol should be in all four corners and easily recognizable. The other significant areas of the cards seem like they're pasted on instead of integrated into the design. A new player needs the ability to hover over the symbols invoking a popup that explains it's purpose....an optional effect that could be turned on or off. This would aid the player so the learning curve would be flattened. The patron cards on the right side of the board need some animation ... like a 3-D of the patron and when it favors you there should be an unmistakable visual clue (even for those with poor eyesight). Patron cards should really shine ...so to speak. I wanted to love this card game...but it's current iteration is severely lacking. It is bland and unappealing. *cries*
Yeah I played this twice and it seemed extremely confusing and also boring. I liked gwent in the Witcher 3. This seems way more complicated and not straight forward. Also, I'm confused why I am playing it? what am I getting for it? Just more cards? Also, if the cards are shared what's the point of getting it?
I didn't go through all the comments, so I don't know if this has been asked. I notice you are able to pick what cards you want to play first. Is there a setting that allows the computer to do that for you that you can change? ETA: Also, almost every time I've played a card with the cost value at the top, it goes straight to cool down and doesn't count towards a combo. Wondering why this is?
I tried hard to like this game it has potential. But as long as both players have basic common sense and sometimes not even that winning just comes down to luck. You can have the best strategy and it won't make an ounce of difference long as the cards flip his way.
I want to give the card game a try when it is on the live server but it is so confusing! This guide is very helping at breaking it down! Thank you for taking the time to make it!
I’m just picturing a conspiracy map right now with this damn game…. Insert gif of guy staring into distance with math equations floating around his head
They need to make this card game simpler, I LOVED Gwent in the Witcher 3 game, this is a LOT of headache and not worth the time investment tbh....thanks for the tutorial anyway :)
But they did 2 things in order to reduce server load and improve performance... the controversial move to account-wide achivements and sharding the database by moving all accounts of players who haven't logged in for 12 months to a backup server which aims to reduce overhead for regulars. IMO, the best thing they could do to improve latency all round is to create a 3rd server zone, such as "Asia" for players in areas like east Russian, Korea, China, etc as that would help both the NA and EU servers cut down on distant players and give them their own regional server with better pings. Naturally, they'd have to allow the players wanting to use that server an ability to transfer their accounts, but I don't see that as an issue if it serves a greater purpose. As I see it, Zenimax took great advantage of the pandemic to boost their player base during lockdowns by keeping development going and introducing the hybrid system which is more casual-player friendly, but they made little effort to improve server capacity to support that growth, that I know of. Whether or not the numbers will shrink back to pre-pandemic numbers is the main question, but even if they do, the introduction of more expansions and content means that strain on the engine and servers is starting to show and since they can't remove content without spoiling the game the best they can do is work with the huge database that changes and expands the most - player accounts. More server zones, sharding, and compacting some data to reduce overhead as they did with achivements. Whether or not ZoS will ever do this remains to be seen.
Thank you for watching! What questions do you have about the card game?
Yes. Are we gonna b forced to play this cause I for 1 do not care 4 a card game.

This mini game is more complex than it should be
its called mechanics, though i dont any of the devs pug dungeons enough to kbow that players dont give a shit about mechanics.
Its a shame. Id like to play it but at this point in life i dont see the point to learning something this complex which will provide zero benefit outside of a obscure corner of pixel land.

Its pretty easy, compared to Magic atleast
Seriously lol why they couldn't make it simple is beyond me.
We already have a three way war going on in the game - why not make use of it for the card game and come up with something like Gwent?
They could have just ported the system from Elder Scrolls Legends and it works have been better in every single way. It would have been an ACTUAL deck-building game so people could build personalized and themed decks, it would have been much more sustainable and accessible, and they would have gained the entire Legends fanbase in one fell swoop.

Hi, how do you deal damage to an agent cards health?
no clue what I was doing at all
abandoned the quest after a few matches.
decided to do 'anything' else.
what is a bewilderment card?
I didn't understand rajhin's skill
Very good explanation but it still makes no sense to me
If I may ask, what do we actually achieve for playing the card game? Another-words, what’s the point in the greater picture of the game? Thanks!
The rewards and mostly for people who don't want to do combat all the time but want to remain in the game doing something... like fishing.
Excellent! This is so helpful.
Finally understand thisngame, managed to get the green patron. What level is master? As you need to be master to play the grand masters to get another patron. Can't find the info anywhere online. I'm in xbox btw so haven't had the game for long.
Thank you so much for explaining this. Amazing good job! There was alot you cleared up for me 👍
Was waiting for this ngl...thanks!
Is the card game locked behind a paywall ie do I need to purchase High Isle first to be able to play it? I haven't played the game in a while
Yeah u do buddy
Your vid helped me to understand this card game mecanics.
Will my progress from the PTS transfer to my characte?
Unreal, they add a new card game that includes ranked ladders, but after years they still haven't added ranks to BGs
"not _real_ gold - in game" heh. They should have really come up with a better name than "gold". Call it sovereigns, gilders, something. "Gold" is just going to cause - even more - confusion.
I agree my first thought is just rename them to "Tributes" calling it gold is already confusing the masses lol

What kind of rewards do you get from playing? Is it worth the time?
really great video :) so helpful
Thank you for this video!!

The Crow card will say 'spend 0 gold: get 0 power', and it's worthless to try and add the favor. The St Pelin will simply say "You cannot claim this" or something of the sort. This occurs when I selected those decks or the npc opponent selects them. Any ideas?
What do you recommend for the first couple of quest?
Thank you for the tutorial
Gonna finally sit down and understand this game 😅
They should have kept the elder scrolls legends card designs and gameplay. Was a fun game just didn't get enough attention and died.
I agree
Good tutorial Adam. Well thought out and well presented.
What a HORRIBLE game
Guessing a developer was given the task to create an in game card game as punishment for some unknown transgression... Developer responded with this hot mess. Obviously overdeveloped to the express purpose of alienating the majority of those that play.
Wonder what the daily/weekly/monthly play rate is.
Thank you for your video. I played this game last night. Hopefully the ESO dev's are interested enough to seek out sincere feedback.
I found the colors to be too dull (really) which made the contrast and definition very weak. I also felt that the patron emblem doesn't 'pop' ... that symbol should be in all four corners and easily recognizable. The other significant areas of the cards seem like they're pasted on instead of integrated into the design. A new player needs the ability to hover over the symbols invoking a popup that explains it's purpose....an optional effect that could be turned on or off. This would aid the player so the learning curve would be flattened.
The patron cards on the right side of the board need some animation ... like a 3-D of the patron and when it favors you there should be an unmistakable visual clue (even for those with poor eyesight). Patron cards should really shine ...so to speak.
I wanted to love this card game...but it's current iteration is severely lacking. It is bland and unappealing.
*cries*
Thank you for explaining ❤
Yeah I played this twice and it seemed extremely confusing and also boring. I liked gwent in the Witcher 3. This seems way more complicated and not straight forward. Also, I'm confused why I am playing it? what am I getting for it? Just more cards? Also, if the cards are shared what's the point of getting it?
Do agent cards automatically go into the field area where it’s placed at 17:21?
No idea how to play it, seems a bit complicated.
I didn't go through all the comments, so I don't know if this has been asked. I notice you are able to pick what cards you want to play first. Is there a setting that allows the computer to do that for you that you can change?
ETA: Also, almost every time I've played a card with the cost value at the top, it goes straight to cool down and doesn't count towards a combo. Wondering why this is?
I tried hard to like this game it has potential. But as long as both players have basic common sense and sometimes not even that winning just comes down to luck. You can have the best strategy and it won't make an ounce of difference long as the cards flip his way.
Its actually a well thought out card game and I wish they made a physical licensed copy of the game....
Best explanation of this game, hands down. Thank you man!
I want to give the card game a try when it is on the live server but it is so confusing! This guide is very helping at breaking it down! Thank you for taking the time to make it!
I’m just picturing a conspiracy map right now with this damn game…. Insert gif of guy staring into distance with math equations floating around his head
How can you even play it I can’t find a way to start playing
Why does your Ui look different.. I’m on pc and it makes me use the keyboards instead of mouse to play
yo if you play that gwent soundtrack while playing this it hits DIFFERENT
PLAY CARDS NOW SLOTS NEXT
TY! great video
@BrahWeGotThis-On_Nicegram really?
@BrahWeGotThis
They need to make this card game simpler, I LOVED Gwent in the Witcher 3 game, this is a LOT of headache and not worth the time investment tbh....thanks for the tutorial anyway :)
I know this is a year old but id love a more in depth on gaining cards/the best cards to try and get through the actual game of ESO
This card game isn't fun at all for me , way too overcomplicated
I don't typically rant on any game feature, and I enjoy card games. I just don't enjoy them in my MMORPG. IMO this was a bad decision.
You did a great job exposing but I just hate that they added this to the game in lieu of fixing the very bad lag.
But they did 2 things in order to reduce server load and improve performance... the controversial move to account-wide achivements and sharding the database by moving all accounts of players who haven't logged in for 12 months to a backup server which aims to reduce overhead for regulars. IMO, the best thing they could do to improve latency all round is to create a 3rd server zone, such as "Asia" for players in areas like east Russian, Korea, China, etc as that would help both the NA and EU servers cut down on distant players and give them their own regional server with better pings. Naturally, they'd have to allow the players wanting to use that server an ability to transfer their accounts, but I don't see that as an issue if it serves a greater purpose. As I see it, Zenimax took great advantage of the pandemic to boost their player base during lockdowns by keeping development going and introducing the hybrid system which is more casual-player friendly, but they made little effort to improve server capacity to support that growth, that I know of. Whether or not the numbers will shrink back to pre-pandemic numbers is the main question, but even if they do, the introduction of more expansions and content means that strain on the engine and servers is starting to show and since they can't remove content without spoiling the game the best they can do is work with the huge database that changes and expands the most - player accounts. More server zones, sharding, and compacting some data to reduce overhead as they did with achivements. Whether or not ZoS will ever do this remains to be seen.
So complicated couldn't even do the tutorial
