Honestly was the dullest eso reveal/live or whatever it was ever. Really didn't convince me to pre order at all.

Was very meh about the card game to start and honestly it was so tedious to watch. Like even everyone if the stream seemed half asleep.

Quite disappointed really. Eso lives used to be a fun regular event.

Wow! Zenimax achieved something I thought impossible with the card game. They made Murkmire look good. Perhaps they could try a dental surgery mini game.

I noticed the energy level was a bit lower and much less showcase-y. I enjoyed hearing from the designers and the people involved most directly with the design of the Chapter, which we've been seeing more often. I feel like that's usually very insightful and interesting. But I think previous Chapter previews have shown more of the zone and the content hands-on.

The Tales of Tribute portion made me feel really eager to play it, but the game is also controversial in the community right now. It was great to hear how passionate the developers of the card game are about playing it lol, and I can totally believe it inspired internal tournaments. I just hope it remains balanced and well-upkept after launch. I wish there was more incentive to play with friends/guildmates and not just random queue.

It would be GREAT to see active support for seasonal Tales of Tribute tournament streams, whether that means a Bethesda-hosted stream, or sponsoring streamers and contributing prizes. Or providing Twitch drops!

I see your points. I think maybe the level of detail and focus though is a bit premature. Perhaps this would of been more suited to nearer or post release so we could experience the game and relate.

Maybe i am just so used to the previous streaming formats and information.

As it stands currently i am not buying the chapter in advance or in the day as such.

Banking on a sale within the first month ....

I thought the show was okay, I was mostly excited that the PTS is coming next week.

Hopefully there will be enough guildies available to test the Trial.

I thought the card game looked okay, but I’m not super in to card games so I’m not sure how much my opinion matters there.

Destai · April 2022

The presentation had low energy. I didn't get the sense that anyone was excited to be there and show things off for expansion. If you guys aren't excited for it, why should we be?

Card game looks how I thought it would - not bad just not for me. I was relieved to see it won't be monetized, so I appreciate that. Excited to see the new zone though, will have to check it out on PTS.

Definitely seems like a wait for sale product.

Esmaralda · April 2022

Seriously I was expecting more on the area and housing etc! Like a run through the zone, new houses available, some quests.

@raystormusa Our community manager got ill, so they had to cancel today's stream. They will update if they will reschedule once they are back on their feet.

Maythor · April 2022

So glad they let everyone know it was cancelled then.

I think that they're over-hyping up the card game simply because of how terribly it was received by the player base
