I hope we can beat down Hircine himself.
I thought each year was supposed to have ONE Chapter, ONE Dungeon DLC, and TWO regular DLCs per year? Suddenly we get two dungeon DLCs and only Murkmire for regular DLCs in 2018?
Wasn't the whole "we're changing up ESO+" with the chapters thing and Morrowind promising us at least 2 regular DLCs per year still?
Surely they're not counting Morrowind as the other DLC of 2018 after making ESO+ folks pay separately for it as a chapter?
I do love Summerset so far (except the issues with jewelry), and look forward to Murkmire, but am seriously disappointed in the lack of 2 regular DLCs for 2018 as I don't do group dungeons.

Actually... that is a common misconception based on what people want, not what was said. They never said what type of DLC the first and fourth quarter were going to have. They only state that 2Q will be a Chapter and 3Q will be a dungeon DLC.
"Because we will be regularly introducing Chapters to ESO, we are going to make a small revision to our content delivery cadence, starting this year. We will continue to ship quarterly updates to the game – each with a base patch that has all the balance, quality of life, and bug fixes that you have come to expect. Additionally, we'll have a DLC in the first quarter of each year, a Chapter in the second quarter, a dungeon-based DLC in the third quarter, and a DLC in the 4th quarter. "
Found it. The original "letter" describing the new cadence reads "Additionally, we'll have a DLC in the first quarter of each year, a Chapter in the second quarter, a dungeon-based DLC in the third quarter, and a DLC in the 4th quarter."
So I guess I figured since we started the year with a dungeon-based DLC that we'd had our fill of it for this year ahead of schedule instead of them dropping the "regular" DLC altogether... *sigh*
What about Legends is a cash grab? You can play it for bloody free no problem.Looking forward to all Elder scrolls things coming. (except the cash grab that is the card game)
Yup, they changed their cadence for this year (again). I assumed this meant the chapter was going to be beefier than the last one, but the opposite was true (Summerset was also cheaper than Morrowind). So it's a bit confusing what they are actually working on - apparently the dungeon team can pump out two updates per year no problem, what are the zone teams up to? And what about new game systems? Spellcrafting, anyone?Found it. The original "letter" describing the new cadence reads "Additionally, we'll have a DLC in the first quarter of each year, a Chapter in the second quarter, a dungeon-based DLC in the third quarter, and a DLC in the 4th quarter."

@Recremen To be fair, they only said DLC first chapter, without specifying what kind of DLC it would be. And given that last year, that "DLC" was the free Homestead, the fact that we got actual content this year is a slight improvement.
But the real hype is the new group arena in Q4. DSA v2!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are three confirmed types of expansion: Chapters, Dungeon DLCs and Zone DLCs. Right? In the text above, there is no confirmation that Q1 and Q4 will be Zone DLCs. That is, Zenimax is free to create content that is either Dungeon DLC or Zone DLC.
In fact, for Q3, I was waiting for the Spellcrafting. No DLC. Just a free update, like Homestead. I hope they bring it, either in Q3 or Q4.
@ZOS_GinaBruno I don't know if the Murkmire DLC contents are already defined, but I would like to see some Group Areas (like the Craglorn camps: Inazzur's Hold, Thunder Falls Camp, Taborra's Camp, Scorpion Ravine and Valley of Scars), with daily quests.

While that's technically precisely true, they do describe unspecified "DLC" in that same letter as regular DLC: "In the past, we've released four major updates per year, most with an associated DLC. This has produced great DLC like Orsinium, Thieves Guild, and Dark Brotherhood for players in a regular cadence, and has been the perfect way to update the game with larger changes like One Tamriel." So they did describe "DLC" as opposed to "dungeon-based DLC" to mean the regular storyline stuff previously added to the game over time.
