This is the official discussion thread for "The ESO Community Reacts to Dark Heart of Skyrim & Greymoor!" blog article.

We were thrilled with the community’s reaction to the announcement of the Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure and Greymoor Chapter, and since the big show, we’ve seen tons of amazing reaction videos, fan art, and fun!

You should put the stream Fengrush did during the announcement, most proper reaction as endgame PvE/PvP player

Little sarcasm, tons of jokes, not so many insults. But his stream was definietely more intresting then the official one. I must admit the announcement of Greymoor was quite boring, especially when you compare Morrowind, Summerset or Elsweyr

@ZOS_SarahHecker

What about the community's reaction to the PTS changes?
The terrible reaction to the dragon leap change?
The terrible reaction to the overall clunkiness of animation cancelling?
The terrible reaction to block?
The terrible reaction to Off Balance change?
The terrible reaction to the indirect nerfs to Armor of Truth and Dizzy Swing 15s cooldown via Off Balance immunity change?
The terrible reaction to battle grounds removal of queuing with friends.

And then you have the continued terrible reactions from previous updates that don't get addressed like:
The terrible reaction to cast times on Death Stroke (and morphs), Dawnbreaker (and morphs), Soul Assault, Berserker Strike, etc.
The terrible reaction to the faction lock on the only populated pvp campaign.

I can keep going but I don't see the point. You have plenty of glaring problems but you continue to ignore them and all the feedback to instead choose to hype your game that is largely dying. It doesn't matter how many youtube content creators you get to make videos made up out of cut-scenes and other player's gameplay while parroting the same talk-point narrative as everyone else associated with the propaganda spewage. You are not fooling us.

Really looking forward to the vampire skill line rework and the vampire lord especially the feeding animation been saying since day 1 should be like skyrim 🙂

I think it would be cool to actually find Greymoor and start playing. Spent an hour scouring the map and traveling around "Nord country" to no avail. Finally gave up and started playing another game. It looks as though I lost $60.00. I should learn to NEVER prepay ever again. But isn't America's system of trade set up to screw the consumer in some way, shape, or manner? When will I learn!!!!!?

@FixedBlade123 Is that a troll comment? It looks like a troll comment.

Nope! I pre-paid for Greymoor around a month ago. Waited all morning for the update to process. Signed into the ESO Online after work. And searched diligently for Greymoor for about an hour until I finally gave up. Searched and searched the Tamriel map and traveled from place to place looking for some clue as to where Greymoor is. No luck!!!

Greymoor isn't released until May / June.

LukosCreyden · March 2020

@FixedBlade123 well, just in case you're being serious;

The Chapter (Greymoor) doesn't release until may for pc, june for console.

Greymoor is not the name of a location, but the name of the chapter. We will be getting Solitude in Skyrim and other nearby areas.

This current update is for the two new dungeons in the Harrowstorm DLC, which kick off the story for Greymoor.

Well I guess I'm confused then @LukosCreyden because I prepaid $60.00 for the next, big addition a couple of months ago. Then day before yesterday, the game was offline from 2:00AM until who knows when as a large update of some sort took place. When I got home from work and signed in, I had a large "Greymoor" title page on my screen and the announcement that "now starts a year-long event" ... blah, blah, blah. I've been a gold member and a "plus" member since ESO game launch 6 or 7 years ago. Are you saying that I also have to pay for the Harrowstorm DLC before my "year long" event is accessible?

Nothing on my map indicates that there is any new area or dungeons. There's no Solitude or Skyrim or Harrowstorm anywhere on my map. I thought maybe the new addition would be similar to Clockwork City or Coldharbour but, nope, not there. Oh well. I thought Gold and/or Plus members got DLCs as part of the package deal. I guess I was wrong. The thousands of dollars I've already pumped into this game isn't quite enough. They need to squeeze out just a little more.

LukosCreyden · March 2020

@FixedBlade123

Ok. The reason you have the new title screen is because the launch of the DLC dungeons marks the start of the new season.

As an ESO+ member, you will have access to these 2 new dungeons without any further need to pay. You can find them on your map. One is in Alik'r Desert, the other is up north of the map (haven't checked yet). Look for Unhallowed Grave and Icereach.

The thing you pre-ordered isn't out yet, so you will not be able to play it yet.

Also IIRC the new dungeons that are released usually have some sort of quest starter in your Collections Menu?

Thanks for your time and explanation. I was just going to see if I could find that dungeon but can no longer sign into the game. My credit card was charged automatically for my "plus" membership yesterday but when I signed in last night ... I am no longer a "plus" member according to ESO. I thought maybe there was a glitch so I signed out; unplugged my console; restarted my console; tried to sign back in and haven't been able to sign in ever since. Here it is the next day and I still can't get in. One would think that after 6 or 7 years ZOS would have these sorts of issues fully and completely resolved.

Oh well ... over and out (signs off while shaking head in disgust and bewilderment).

@FixedBlade123 Are you Xbox by any chance? Because if so that's a know issue (check the big, bad, red forum banner).

Saw the banner. Two days straight! Still not able to play under the circumstances. Wonder what sort of compensation ZOS plans on giving to "Plus" players who are all paid up. Free skin or motif or mount or gold?
