Current Status of TESL Revivals

129 Upvotes

Hello all.

It's been about a year since TESL died, so on its deathi-verssary let's go over the current efforts to revive the game.

TESL Reborn - This is an effort to make new servers for the game, it has come along quite promisingly and is the closest thing to the original version of the game.

However a couple things:

  • It is PC version only, and you need to have a valid license of the game still in your steam library or on bethesda.net to play. There is no way (as of now) to get a license for the game if you did not have it prior to the shutdown on steam. You have to have owned it before the shutdown.

  • It is currently closed alpha. You can follow this guide (link) to apply to join the closed alpha, but it is not currently open alpha yet despite what the other post on the subreddit says. This guide is outdated, open beta out tomorrow

  • Some streamers (link to list) have access, so you can ask them to test different things, or watch their gameplay to help speed up the bug finding stage.

TESL Fan Browser Remakes

  • TESL Browser Project aka TESL Online - A remake of TESL in browser. Reddit post link - Recently updated to have all cards through the Heroes of Skyrim expansion.

  • TESL Github Page - A remake of TESL vs a bot or local multiplayer, playable on a github page. Direct Link made by /u/Prize-Artichoke-9807 Has cards up to Houses of Morrowind and a handful of custom cards.

  • TESL Singleplayer - A remake of TESL whose goal is to have the player fight against various singleplayer encounters. Direct Link, run by @FBJulezGames on this discord server.

Tabletop Simulator - There are a few mods for tabletop simulator, a simulator game on steam (link). The sim costs $20, but is usually on sale for $10. Note this doesn't simulate mechanics, but you can put cards in a deck and shuffle it but you have to manually track the gameplay yourself. Supports multiplayer.

People Printing Their Own Cards - Some people print the game cards for their own personal use. Here are some of their posts.

Bad Time For Casuals

16 Upvotes

I've always loves TES:Legends, it was my favorite digital TCG and I've been so happy to finally get it back. But I'd never consider myself a 'top tier' player even back in it's heyday. Still, I could win the occasional game at the lower tier of the rankings by being matched up against someone else who was just as limited in collection, ability, or both as I was. Yeah, I'd lose to a sweat/gamerchair or whatever on occasion, but I didn't feel bad about it because it wasn't the majority of matches.

With Legends:Reborn giving EVERY PLAYER acess to EVERY CARD right off the bat, I find myself going up against decks/netdecks that are overtuned, win with recursive combos/'double x effects, their entire decks being made up of 'premium/monthly reward' cards that even the sweatiest players didn't have full sets of back when the game was live. It's ruined any idea of progression and leaving me feeling like I don't have means of learning to do any better, since I can't test out/tune my decks against players to learn their strengths and weaknesses, and improve my own play without getting utterly obliterated every match without coming away with any lessons besides 'they played nothing but the most broken cards in the entire game'. It's like going to Friday Night Magic, except every single person there is a nationally-ranked player with decks pulled entirely from the ban list.

I get it, the people who wanted the game back the most were probably already top-tier players, and that's the audience TESL:Reborn was built to cater to. But the learning curve feels like a cliff I'm never going to be able to reach even the midway point of with the amount of time I have to devote to the game. Obviously I'm still having fun playing through the various lore stories and the solo arena, and I'm grateful to have it back in any form, but it's just frustrating.

Is Versus Arena dead?

7 Upvotes

I've been waiting over 25 mins for my first match (the client said estimated time is 22 seconds, lol). If I can't even find a single match, feels like no one ever plays this format. On the contrary, matchmaking for regular versus has been really quick (usually less than 10 secs). Anyone had any luck with finding opp in Arena? Do I have to play during high player-count times like the weekend to have any shot? Thanks for your help!

Streaming TESL Reborn on Twitch

13 Upvotes

Now that I have access to this wonderful game again I was thinking of streaming it on Twitch. Since TESL Reborn is not officially affiliated with Bethesda, do you think there could be any legal issues associated with this?

I would especially appreciate any answer from people involved in the Reborn project.

Reborn account validation email

Hey all,

I created an account for reborn but I didn't receive an email to confirm the account. Not in spam, not anywhere. Is it supposed to be spent automatically or do I need to wait ?

Thank you

The Ladder Question

I remember not losing stars in your constellation when you lost a match if you were rank 9-12, but now you do. Am I remembering correctly? I just started playing again.

I made a free deck builder for TESL, since the old deck sites are mostly dead

Hey all! The old TESL deck sites are mostly dead, so I built a new one: TESL Deck. Free, no ads, no account needed to build.

What you can do with decks:

  • Build a deck and watch the curve, stats and crafting cost as you go
  • Paste a deck code from the game, or copy yours back into it
  • Share your deck with a link
  • Browse public decks, including a bunch of older ones I brought back
  • Got decks in the TESL Discord's #deck-directory? Sign up with Discord and the site offers to import them
A public deck page: curve, composition, crafting cost and the full card list
The builder: a deck loaded from the game's own code, with the curve and counter as you build

There's a card browser too, with filters you can share as a link.

The card browser: filters live in the link, so a search is something you can send

Big thanks to the Reborn team for keeping the game alive: https://tesl-reborn.com

It's early, so tell me what's missing or broken. Any feedback helps, here or through the feedback button on the site.

Which times are most active for TeslReborn

16 Upvotes

I’m kinda stunned to be able to play this game again, I’m wondering now which hours or days people notice the most activity and can find a game

Also which game modes are most active I’ve tried “versus arena” but can’t seem to find a game, maybe my rank is too low

Or is my only chance to set up a game somehow through messages and auto matchmaking won’t be enough

Finally shout out to the people that brought this game back to life, well done


r/elderscrollslegends • • 5d ago

Would you rather have 1$ or 2$ type quests (Also thank you Reborn people, I will name my firstborn in your honor)

Any way to play reborn if you didn't play before?

3 Upvotes

Hey there,

I recently got into TES properly, literally a couple of months after the servers for Legends were shut down in fact. So I don't have a license since by the time I would've been interested, the game was already gone. But, of course, you need it to play Reborn, so... Is there any way to obtain a license anymore or am I just out of luck? Thanks. <3

TEL REBORN QUESTIONS THREAD

33 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wouldn't exactly call myself a support agent, but I'd like to turn this thread into a proper post and eventually build a full FAQ for TES Reborn out of it.

So go ahead and ask me anything you're curious about, and I'll put together a guide from your questions.
