Re: Did the stream give us a live date for update 48?
Historically the dlc released in the first week of november....I would assume they centered their expectation how fast the wall breaches around that, end of october, beginning of november, based on past community event statistics...
Honestly regardless of what zos claims, I would be REALLY surprised if they take 0 active involvement how fast or slow the walls breach...

Re: Should Dark-Magic get frost magic instead of regular magic?
If anything it should be shock dmg.
Every class provide a unique element, sorc is shock, dk is fire, warden is frost.
Then class after provide a mix, necro frost/shock and arcanist is an abomination

Re: A Love Letter To The Past
Well said. Me personally, I dont need them to reinvent the wheel. I dont need them to do anything but reinstate a single 3 team BG queue. I dont need em to delete two team, I dont need a separate queue for DM or objectives, I just want classic battlegrounds back as is. As was. I want to play two team if I feel like it and three team the other 90% of the time.
Side note, it is absolutely ridiculous that with the amount of feedback, with the amount of pushback, they've received regarding the loss of 4v4v4 there's been almost zero communication to the players affected other than one or two vague "hey we here you" responses. Maybe they're mad at us for not just absolutely loving two team. Maybe they blew the budget for an entire year on the revamp and there's no dinero to accommodate our repeated, pointed, and increasingly frustrated requests to give us our ******* game back. They probably think we're a bunch of ingrates who do nothing but complain and are never happy. Whatever. How are we supposed to respond to getting the silent treatment for an entire year?

I'm now on a 3month ESO+ commitment, and the content pass will likely be my last pre-order/early content purchase. 2026 I plan to wait until we see what lands on PTS before I choose to pull a trigger. No more purchase decisions based on the livestream previews.
Re: Any update on Romance Options/Food and Potion Hybridization? (NEW AMA answer inside 9/9/2025))!!
I don't really need a romance option. Just give me the right tools and my imagination can do the rest. By tools, I mean:
Ability to let companion wear circlets/headgear, maybe even change hair styles.
Ability to bring companion into my home.
Companion can sit and have a drink with me.
Companion can dance with me.
Can hug companion.
With those tools I can roleplay a companion that is a close friend, lover or anything in between.

The same thing happened last year with the season pass model. We got a few vague comments in the end-of-year letter, and then had to wait months, left to speculate about what’s coming. It only raised more questions and stirred up frustration. Then came the Q1 dungeon release debacle, and even then, they refused to explain what happened or what the plan was moving forward 'because we are not ready to talk about it'.
The Writhing Wall event is on October 13, and once again, we know almost nothing apart from 2 random views of the environment. Another new livestream is teased for this event, promising “very, very cool things.” Why not show them now? The audience was already there, and the event is just around the corner.
What happened to the graphical revamp you teased last year? How is Overland coming along? What about crossplay? What is the roadmap of all this neverending stream of cool things you have been leading us on with? You’ve got excited people tuning in to see what’s next, but all we get lately is rambling between colleagues, patting themselves on the back and loads of vague promises of “great things to come that we can’t talk about yet.”
[...]
I also want to know anything about this Writhing Wall event and why I would want to buy the season pass for it. So far I haven't seen anything that would entice me personally. Anniversary event and Whitestrake's Mayhem are the only events I get really hyped for anymore but that's because they feel rewarding. What is Writhing Wall doing to stand apart well enough as a one-time event?
Add alchemy/provisioning reworks to the ever growing list of things left in limbo. I expected at the very least a new class set in the archive to round out the last skill lines, and a new Scribing grimoire or two. It's weird that they skipped this entire year without adding to those fairly new features.
Yeah, I'm very suspicious of the Wall event. From PTS, it's really seeming like the NElsweyr prologue more than anything else - a quest or two and a series of dailies that'll fill some meter and then we get the new zone unlocked. It's not a ticketed event; it's really just 'do quests and fill the meter just like every Chapter event we've had before' with extra steps.
The big thing with it is the FOMO: "buy the Season Pass or you won't be able to experience this once-in-a-lifetime thing!"
It's definitely something I'm looking at for the future now - we paid $50 for this Season Pass ($10 more than old Chapters), and we got... less. No exclusive new features, no expansions on previous systems, and 4 Dungeons that we got through ESO+ anyway. It's really like the Wall event is the only thing that Solstice has exclusive to this pass, and with the amount they're hyping it up I'm interested to see how the community reacts to it - a lot of people are expecting something huge, and... well, we've seen most of it on PTS already.
I'm also shocked that there's no new Grimoire coming in U48. Most 'new features' from the Q2 patch get an expansion in the Q4 one, but there's really no way for them to expand on Subclassing without adding a new Class. But they did also convert Scribing to basegame, so I could totally have seen them adding a Grimoire to the Undaunted line (it's the only basegame guild without one), the WW/Vamp lines (especially WW would be amazing to get more build diversity), or adding another to Soul Magic because it'd be thematic with the other half of Solstice (a channelled beam to make an elemental alternative to Fatecarver would be interesting)
All in all, I'm really disappointed by this year of content. I'm seriously considering dropping my ESO+ sub, and I'm pretty well not going to get next year's pass unless it contains one specific thing (for me: a new Class). As I've said before, I've been hit with so many bugs in this game and yet I've stayed with ESO through it all, but after seeing how this year went...

Re: Update 48 Combat/Balancing Changes
We now know from the Reddit AUA that in 2026 we'll likely see Overland Difficulty implemented - why balance now?
Few months from now everything will need to be looked at anyway.
Let them work on what they think is the priority right now... We'll have needed balances down the road; game isn't in an unplayable state right now, we can wait a bit IMO.
Why not balance now? Not sure what Overland difficulty has to do with not making balance changes. The people who want to stay at the current difficulty (assuming it's a slider) probably won't make any changes to their builds/skills and will just keep playing the way they're playing now and the ones who do care will just make a proper build/learn how combat actually works, like people do now when they want to progress to more challenging content.
If you actually care about the content in this game above normal difficulty, the current combat balance is probably the poorest it's ever been. When this next update goes live, we will have already had 6+ months of poorer than ever. That's definitely enough time for them to no longer have to say "we need more time to see how things are affected and we need more data." People told them exactly how this was this was going to go back in April during the first week of the U46 PTS.
If nothing changes in this update we will be looking at 9+ months of poor with no changes, perhaps longer if then they decide to skip over it again during the Q1 update next year.
To be honest, at this point I've completely stopped caring which route they take. Either buff the weakest skills/skill lines to give everyone more options to be competitive or just tone down the strongest skill lines to make the skill lines more even of a playing field. I just don't think it should stay the way it is now with zero changes.
