Personally I and from what I've read and heard in person most want balance and fixes for what we have now, not more broken skills. Stop drama Queening every thing said/done by ZOS.

I think ppl would have no problem with no new skills if there was any hope they will fix at least thos we have in the near future. But it doesn't look like they can do that.

Exactly this.

Dositheus · January 2016

So... what games are people looking forward to now? My list right now:
Black Desert
Blade and Soul
Camelot Unchained

Are there any other decent contenders that I've missed? I have to find something to fill my time and take my money.

Math time!

51 point increase per dlc. 4 dlc per year. 501 cap now. 3600 hard cap.... that's about 60 dlc releases... over 15 years.

So yea. RIP

ESO
2014-2030

I'm a little surprised they aren't bumping it to 540 with TG, and then 60 with each one after that, if only to keep the CP caps at round numbers...

All of those for me. But Blade and Soul first, since it releases in a few days.

Black Desert looks awful.

Camelot Unchained however has gotten my interest.

Luckily I can play both!

BDO is strange. It's got a lot of depth. Could be fun. Going to try it in beta and see how it goes. CU has got me really excited. Full PvP game.

Hey folks,

Just wanted to address some of the frustration about lack of details and new information being expressed in this thread. We've made a decision to tell you as much as we're able, as early as possible, and earlier than we have in the past. That means sometimes we can only tell you "We're working on X" without an ETA or additional details. This is especially true when we're talking about features we're working on that aren’t on the immediate horizon.

We understand you guys want dates on everything in the Year Ahead Article, and we’ll be working to keep you updated on these as soon as we’re ready and confident to share those dates. We will share with you full details and dates for everything coming to ESO in the next year, but it won’t come all in one shot, and definitely not this early in the year.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom
It would've been great if every single ask us anything question didn't involve lore or something completely irrelevant to class balances and skills. This game has a lot of issues with those two things alongside PvP lag; in other words those questions should've been addressed rather than some random lore piece that a small group would've really cared about.

Once we get at-least class skill/balances down we can focus on lore unless the lore guy is on the show then obviously I'll yield him the lime-light he deserves.

Wait, so does the CP cap increase with Thieves Guild or with the next DLC after Thieves' Guild?

After TG, by 51 points.

wow, that' awful. I wonder what are they thinking. That ppl who are currently at cap will stick around for 4-6 months until they get a raise... by 51?

Well considering i can use the cp i got with pvping (a lot admittedly) before ic sometime next year. Sad joke.

No skills with guilds

Could at least add poison crafting or something along those lines to db, at least it would be something added towards combat and fit the theme of the guild.

- This game was an RPG in the first place and having more PvE content just make happy those who love questing. Be happy for them. Ofc it doesnt mean Small scale PvP, arenas or new PvP areas aren't welcomed.
- Speaking about, some only wants PvP, some only PvE, some just questing, some just that and some just lore... hard to make everyone happy here.
- Balance issues really take time to be fixed but i'm confident in about 1, 2 years things will get a bit better... unless CP will cause havoc in PvP. But for PvE at least its working fine. Truth is PvP will always rise balance issues with each new item set released... so...
- I was expecting more this episode... I was quite excited to see it in the first place but disappointing overall. But you can't always judge the book by the cover. Usually bad starts tend to end well on the long therm. Not much intel for long therm developments. Not much info about TG. Some fun. Some love. Yet not much about ESO we didn't really knew.

- Missing footage its also a matter of time. But I do hope in the future we will get some footage as well when presenting some new content. Infos too if they aren't spoiling anything relevant.
- No ETA on stuff doesn't disappoint me lol. And what ETA we can get more than TG will be on PTS in early feb?
- VR removal is quite an issue rising... best to be patient until the final version will be presented to us. That doesn't mean we can't be constructive. Personally I'm worrying BIG about crafting. Maybe Silver and Gold alliance's nodes must be "moved" into the Cadwell's alliance. And all alliances should share the same resource nodes after this model: Glenumbra = Auridon = Stonefalls = Iron Ore + High Iron Ore...

- Legedermain = TG skill line. Ofc it could be updated and renamed to suit more TG but I think another time. Some stuff aren't bound to the DLC. A new skill line wouldnt mean that you will need the DLC.
- Justice PvP as stated before... if it rises issues better not. Better to have 10% of players crying than having a whole server up in smoke because the PvP are causing them problems in PvE areas.
- Still Justice could be improved further but lets just wait for TG first. I was proposing in some other threat to go in a small vacation in the dungeons before we get the sentence. And from there we could run, kill, or just pay our debts. Something like Skyrim's Markarth quest line.
- TG quest line will be as amazing as the Orsinium one i'm sure. Very immersive. Maybe we will visit some dungeon after beign caught stealin who knows?

- With DB, 4 new group dungeons are coming. But nobody noticed it. I hope I didn't understood it wrong.

That's fair, Max. We do plan to have Eric Wrobel on one of the next ESO Live shows, and he'll be able to speak to class balance and skill questions (including what is coming with the next major update.) We'll put up a thread to get questions for him, before the show.

We don't understand how you claim certain things are being worked on in the game for months, and then scrap them without batting am eye. For example, TG skill lines and PvP Justice. How can we trust what you say period when it gets retracted down the road whenever you decided they are no longer valid options to invest your resources in?

You mentioned this stuff in July 2014 at Quakecon, and we're just now hearing about the Justice system and TG/DB? We don't want dates. We want some damn transparency. WE would understand better if you would give us ANY information at all. Cause a year goes by and we don't hear a thing and then you decide it's no longer going to happen. That is something we are okay with.

I personally don't care one way or another about TG skill line, but I'm open to suggestions too. I'm always down to hear what interesting ideas people have (so long as they are constructive, and not just QQ).

People are just getting a little antsy about no new info and "soon" and "no eta" on anything.

Especially with the Thieves Guild going on the PTS in a couple of weeks. But it's understood you can't say much and we didn't get an Orsinium trailer until the day before it went on PTS.

Just keen is all.

Maybe some type of magicka + stamina movement speed to help out classes with terrible mobility.

Some type of escape skill maybe? Nothing too insane but lets all classes have the option to slot it.

Maybe passives to do with detection radius, passives to makes pots more effective?

Honestly they didn't need to be super game breaking but an incentive for me to actually buy the dlc and bother playing through the pve.

Crit dmg by like 5%? Crit dmg reduction by 5% ?

MaxwellC · January 2016

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom I'm glad to hear those news because I'm really dying to ask him about upcoming skill changes/class balances especially with a skill called "Flames of oblivion" (which use to be my favorite prior to nerf/change)

When will the next ESO Live be sometime towards the end of the month or next month around the same time e.g. 2/15/2016?

I guess going from 0 transparency to just a little is a bit rough at first.

By speak to class balance and skill questions do you mean beyond the typical ZOS approach which is "We have some changes in mind but we can't talk about that right now" ???? This is basically all you ever give us.

chaserstorm16909 · January 2016

The fact that we still have very little information regarding the Thieve's Guild and Dark Brotherhood really worries me. Given that these 2 guilds are beloved favorites of most Elder Scrolls fans, these next 2 DLCs are going to make or break this game. I hope they have something really special in mind and don't want to tip their hand too soon.

It's not yet decided which show we'll have him on, but we expect it to be one of the next two upcoming ones (so, 1/29 or 2/12.)

Seriously confirmed? Isn't it being a new skill line sort of the PRIMARY interpretation of the entire community?

I'm telling you. The main focus of every DLC is going to be some crappy solo PvE quest chain and some costumes and mounts.

I doubt the quest chain will be crappy. Orsinium's story was great. I look forward to more similar DLC.

Constumes and mounts aren't actually part of DLC. They are just part of the patch and the theme.

No need for PvP DLC. They can just add features to the current PvP areas and eventually add small scale arenas (which could actually be part of a DLC like Maelstrom). They clarified in ESO Live that they are planning on adding capturing of towns in Cyrodiil and districts in IC. No doubt, that will arrive at no extra cost.

So, no need to get whiny.

Do they realize this an MMO lol

Arena's
Trial's
Group Dungeons
Pvp
Duels
Small scale pvp (e.g 2v2/3v3)

Pve quest chains are boring, i'm hoping each dlc will actually have something worth buying.

Yeah, new narratives are boring but repeating the same dungeons over and over is interesting. Makes sense.

Vast majority of people aren't anywhere near cap. I have ~80 days played since launch and only have 415CP

The average player earning 51 CP every 90 day DLC cycle is already 2X faster than the average player earned CP before the catch up mechanic and cap was put in place.

What this guy said and what pretty much every one is saying. Why should ZOS add more skills in the game when the ones in the game are imbalanced/broken.

Well they should stop bringing dlc/pets/mounts and other useless stuff and fix the game first.

I'm sure putting their full team or the majority of it to work on fixing it for a week or so wouldn't cripple them, then they'll have a stable foundation to release dlc that actually look good and hopefully encourage new people to sub or new players in general.

Yes they should stop focusing on pets, mounts, costumes and so on and focus on fixing the skills but players crying about wanting new skills 24/7 really isn't helping. Cause here is what I hear when I read a post about wanting new skills "I want a new I win button that can kill in 1 hit cause every one else is using the same 1 shot kill build I'm using".

So please stop all this crying about new skills cause they will never happen as long as the skills that area already live in the game are imbalanced/broken. Like if any one of you were a programmer would you add new skills to the game when you know the skills already live are busted? I should wouldn't cause that would just cause more problems so why should ZOS?

Considering the same devs are needed on both, I agree. A new skill line is not worth pulling people off fixing current skills that have issues.

No matter what they plan to do, there will always be people who wanted something else who will act like it is the end of the world.
