Zeni has made it a B2P game. I will buy when they put out playable content.
Absolutely not. I will not fund or support the console version in return for silly cash shop items and exp bonuses. I was willing to pay up to $30 - $50 a month for the service I was lead to believe was going to be the norm for PC players (constant content release).
As bearclawmcbainb16 said, the game is b2p now. I will buy when they put out content. I will be cancelling both my sub and my wife's sub in the near future.
No, and nothing will ever change my mind. I've not had to pay a sub for an Elder Scrolls game before this one, and I hated doing it now. In fact it was what drove me away for the most part, a disgusting practice.
Might as well just hack off part of the game that's already on the disc and require me to pay 30$ to unlock it. Oh, wait...
Ya, [snip] those guys. How dare they expect you to pay for things like frequent, quality content updates for years to come! What [snip]!
/s
Paying a subscription is almost no different than buying a DLC season pass for a game, the only real difference is the stream of content keeps coming for as long as you're willing to pay. it never stops(unless the servers shut down). Hope you like less frequent updates, worse customer service, worse community, and less substantial content.
No subscription means all of these things will happen less frequently:Aside from patching the game and fixing any bugs, and implementing the things that make it an Elder Scrolls game I don't really see the need for updates and ***.
You don't see me whining for updates to Daggerfall, and it's what....Like...20 years old?
Thank goodness no! I didn't have to deal with "PengasSnifferLeetSkillz9" in Daggerfall to my delight.
I don't think I will.
My biggest concern is that DLC´s are not free for subscribers. I don't want to pay extra money for a simple barber shop, the addition of pvp to justice or a new questline.
Paying a sub should cover all of that, this is how sub games work since more than 15 years. With the F2P system I would pay my sub and only rent content, once I stop playing I have to buy the DLC again to further use it and this just doesn't make sense.
Staying unsubbed and buying a DLC seems much more logical right now, especially since they are so spare and often totally uninteresting for me like all that Trial stuff which came out since release.
Then you have answered your own question. The reason that they indulged in this "disgusting practice" was because it is a fundamentally different kind of delivery method. This isn't TES 6.
I am 51% vs. 49% in favour of not continuing to sub, but I will make that decision based on ESO as it is and is likely to be... not on the basis that it isn't the next solo game.
No subscription means all of these things will happen less frequently:
- Bugs will persist longer
- Balance issues will persist longer
- Server maintenance won't be as frequent(more lag).
Will take much longer to arrive in a B2P model vs a subscription model.
- New systems/content like:
- Spellcrafting
- Dark Brotherhood,
- Thieve's Guild

I don't even.....

I'm not sure I understand how is that any worse than how it currently works? If your subscription lapses now you lose all access completely. If your subscription lapses after the conversion you still get to play the game, just minus the new substantial content such as Wrothgar or Murkmire. Also don't forget that you're getting $15 worth of crowns every month which essentially makes the subscription a free XP/gold/crafting boost.

They stated 1080p 30fps pretty sure.
My Feedback:
As long as Paul Sage works for ZOS and content delivery is slow I won't give them another dime.
