Anyone else feeling ripped off by Elsweyr price?

whitecrow · January 2019

$50 does seem a little high. The base game (which if I remember correctly included IC and Orsinium) cost me half that.

ANGEL_BtVS · January 2019

lolwut?! I spend more money on a date or a night out with friends. Elsweyr is dirt cheap on an hours of entertainment basis.

Um the digital collectors edition upgrade is only $50 because unfortunately they are not offering a cool physical edition with a statue

So you're looking at $0.49 a day for entertainment...

I keep hearing this.

1. Not everyone play this game *every day*.
2. Not everyone has ESO as the only way and the only source of entertainment.
3. Not everyone enjoys and plays ESO thoroughly and extensively.

The price for a chapter or subscription can be spent elsewhere - e.g. other game, book, other hobby or source of fun.

For example, I finally stopped subscribing to ESO, after 3 years. That's 156 euros saved per year for me. And for what? For a crafting bag, some QoLs, few cosmetic crowns and CWC dlc that I didn't buy. I don't care for dungeons, I have all other dlcs. That's 3 new AAA titles for my Nintendo Switch per year. Three separate games that I know will perform flawlessly, without any bugs and will bring me tons of fun and joy. Is the subscription worth now? Only if you play ESO extensively and as the only game.

Matt Firor himself said that many ESO players were seasonal - they go to Chapters, do the quests, then quit playing until next upgrade comes. For them, it's 20-40 hours of extra fun for a game they already know. As far as I'm concerned, not worth it at that price. I think ESO saw my wallet more than enough.

Filthy casuals.

So let me get this straight you want a refund for something that probably overall cost you 25 cents a day to play?

Did you play them? Did you use what you bought? That's like saying *** owes you a refund because they came out with new shoes that are an upgrade.

My god people will whine about anything. A freaking movie for 2 will cost more than this game did.

Narvuntien · June 2019

Its quite a bit in AUD, but if I want to wait a couple of months it will be a lot cheaper and not as crowded

Androconium · June 2019

No. I haven't paid for it, nor will I. I'll get it free next year, or not at all.
You lot will have found all the bugs by then.

Drachenfier · June 2019

Nope.

Skwor · June 2019

Nope. Feel great about the price in fact I would have easily paid 10 dollars more and been happy.

If you already own the game you're supposed to buy the $40 upgrade, not the full $60 edition. Reading is hard, i guess.

True, I pre-ordered last night and the bare bones no expansion was 39.99. I did get a nice mount however lol

myskyrim26 · June 2019

No. I got much more than expected.

THEDKEXPERIENCE · June 2019

Eh ... it’s a round of drinks.

Pro tip: don't buy Elsewyr because next year it will be free with the next chapter! But, you don't want to buy that chapter because it will be free the year after, etc, etc, etc. You played Morrowind for two years by then and Summerset for one. It's not a rip off, it's simply older content.

Well when you put it that way, yeah, I do feel ripped off. No I don't. If I get to play new content a year before free-loaders? Totally worth it.

Goregrinder · June 2019

Nope.

AkiraStar01 · June 2019

Why would I feel ripped off? When I already own the base game...and Morrowind...and Summerset...I'm gonna buy the upgrade, not the entire game all over again. SMH

Kagukan · June 2019

For me it was worth the price. Still having fun in the zone.

FlopsyPrince · June 2019

Yes, especially since I got Summerset and the rest for about 1/3 the cost of the digital upgrade.

ESO Plus costs me far more, but that provides more value.

I do hate paying a sub and paying for major releases, but that can't be avoided, unfortunately.

YaYaPineapple · June 2019

This has to be a troll thread...

phwaap · June 2019

I'm less than $1/hour and going lower all the time for great entertainment. No problem here.

So, Let me get this straight.
We've bought ESO..
We bought Morrowind.
We bought Summerset.

Now you want us to REBUY them?

You are quite far from having it straight.

If you already own the previous chapters, then you would purchase the Upgrade version of Elsweyr, which is just Elsweyr.
The $80 version is for people who DON'T already have the previous chapters, and those of us who have the previous chapters were absolutely not forced to REBUY those chapters.

I really, really wonder about people, sometimes.

jainiadral · June 2019

I've spent full retail ($60+) on games I quit playing after a few hours minutes. I've been in Elsweyr almost every day since early release. So, no, I'm not feeling ripped off.

deepseamk20b14_ESO · June 2019

It was $40. Im happy. Though I will say it seems less than summerset (which is my favorite) and even morrowind. Perhaps if I was nit-picky I’d say it is worth $30.
