Some interesting stuff.
I think the big talking points will be a crafting system behind an expansion and daily log in rewards.
Crafting system behind a pay wall is going to upset a lot of people. The P2W threads will be strong this expansion.
I love free stuff and won't complain at getting things for something I do any way but the whole "log in for your daily reward" feels very cheesy and F2P mobile game like to me.
If the idea is to get players logging in and playing the game then surely these would have been better as incorporations into some kind of content.

I was hoping it'd be more like Maw of Lorkhaj but hopefully the mechanics are interesting enough to make up for it. Still, not a fan of the "fighting all bosses at once" thing.
With Update 18, we're introducing daily login rewards. With this new feature, when you log into the game you'll be able to claim a special gift. These gifts could include consumables, currencies, special collectibles, and even Crown Crates! With daily login rewards, you'll have even more reasons to visit Tamriel each and every day.
Doesn't seem so with what's been said. PvP players would only be buying it for skill line and jewellery crafting.King_Thelon wrote: »is there anything that would make a pvp'er want to buy this chapter? Or will it just be OP passives / skills behind a paywall?
Regarding the new trial. The article says, we will be able to optain improved 'perfected' versions. Does this refer to improved versions of the sets that drop in this trial, or does it refer to new "master" weapons ?
Yeah unlocking rewards for completing content, even just trivial content, would feel more rewarding.I love free stuff and won't complain at getting things for something I do any way but the whole "log in for your daily reward" feels very cheesy and F2P mobile game like to me.

I completely glazed over this, getting into shady territory for me. I'm not a big fan of being able to trade in game currency for real money.redspecter23 wrote: »Crown store gifting will add a whole other layer to the current game economy. It pretty much allows for the exchange of in game gold (or other items) for crown store items. Shouldn't take long for a stable exchange rate to pop up for items such as crown crates and mounts.
WTB crown crate, 250k, pst.
Or something like that. You get the idea.
It should also go without saying that it basically allows you to buy gold from other players with your real world cash.

I'm thinking you'll still be able to jewelry craft if you have access to a house that has the jewelry station, like they did with transmutation.

Maybe they decided to do same as weapons of vAS but now for armor sets
Still nothing about jewelrycrafting+droppable jewelry. @ZOS_GinaBruno any clarification if droppable sets' jewelry can be improved and if it possible to retrait jewelry at all?

Sweet. New kinds of overland challenges and events have been on the ask list for a while (yes I was one of those putting such suggestions out).

Probably
And yes, you can upgrade dropped yewelry. You must research yewelry traits first and then you can transmute them as usual.
Depends how much especialy for currencies or other thing that may affect the economy.With Update 18, we're introducing daily login rewards.

NiceThis update also brings a brand new Crown Store feature: gifting. With gifting, you can purchase and send Crown Store items to your friends and allies, and you'll be able to easily track your sent and received gifts. Almost every item in the Crown Store can be gifted, but there are some conditions.
Waiting for PTSSummerset also brings a new group activity not found on the larger continent of Tamriel: Abyssal Geysers. Scattered across the island, these new group activities spawn waves of fierce monsters and must be shut down before they overrun the surface.
The Psijic Order not only provides you with a unique quest line and story–it also grants you the famed abilities of the ancient organization. The Psijic Order Skill Line features a full set of Active and Passive abilities in addition to a unique Ultimate.
Um... i have no issue with that for some reason.Throughout Tamriel, you can find new Jewelry Crafting Stations (including set stations) that allow you to create custom jewelry for the current crafted item sets, and you will be able to complete Writs and Master Writs like any other crafting Skill Line. Note that the Summerset Chapter is required to use the new Crafting Stations.
