Seasons = Chapter In Half

I've been seeing a lot of confusion on what this is.

Y'all do realize that a season is just a chapter cut up and given to you throughout the year right? Except now it costs more money and we get less content as a whole throughout the year.

    Or maybe it's more like two smaller story dlcs? It's hard to say yet since we don't know how different both halves of the island will look (I have strong suspicions that the second half behind the gate will look more like Coldharbour than the tropical island of the first half), and how closely the stories are related (whether it's a hard split and the seperate parts make absolutely no sense without each other, or whether it's more like Necrom and Gold Road).

    Do you have the inside scoop on the content for the rest of the year? Cuz without that, you can't really determine that it's for less content.

    I have played it on the PTS.

    When you look at the achievements, delves, dungeons, points of interest etc it say 'undiscovered east solstice point of interest'. We got 50 percent of all region items when you look at it.

    They did say they will introduce a quest that will make sure the story makes sense even after the community wall event.

    We also get 2 dungeon packs in the price and the stuff that is usually in the deluxe collectors edition of the chapters.

    Have you played PTS? It's literally the stuff with a chapter release, cut in half. We'll have that wall event to go to the other half lol

    First there is Season of the Worm Cult part 1. Then there's the wall event. Then after that there's Season /Worm Cult part 2.

    Does PTS have Season Part 2 on it yet?

    Thanks for the info! Would you say the first half is about the size of the winter story dlcs that we got some years ago? Murkmire or CWC for example?

    IMO they want to charge us about the same for much less.

    I think there will be backlash when the chapter regulars who don't follow ESO news see what their $50 buys them this year.

    this doesn't necessarily mean there would be less "map" this year. in previous years they used to release a large and a small zone. perhaps they'll keep the total map size about the same but release it as two evenly sized chunks instead. I don't really see any reason why we would be getting even less than in the previous 2 years. if anything, I'd say we'll be getting more again like it was in the years before Necrom.

    Does this mean that if we don't succumb to fomo, that the region will forever be broken to those who aquire it later, with a completed wall event?

    They said there will be a replacement quest for that.

    everyone on PTS is saying the current half of solstice available is incredibly tiny and a fraction of a chapter...so unless this half is not truly a half and 2/3 will be released EOY, then no, it's not the same scale as a chapter...what am I missing here?

    As soon as I saw the zone feature list, that’s how I felt. I’m not buying it as a result. Maybe they should have just left this year as a chapter year or something. I will definitely not be buying this season pass.

    I 100% agree with you. But don't waste your time saying this on the forums. Most of the people I knew who played are leaving or just making ESO a side game they log into once in a while. They are not spending any more money on the game.

    I'm too confused to agree or disagree.
    ZOS trought the years did some amazing tings and some stupid tings.
    In the last year the amount of content surely decreased so i share your fear.

    We will see...

    I cant say season of wormcult is a good way to introduce the new content release to players. I agree looks like half a chapter and not a season

    You can call a turd many things, but at the end of the day it's still a turd. Chapters were just formerly known as DLC just as Content Passes are just a new phrase to replace Chapters. I'm sure they will be monetized differently than Chapters (aka DLC), and will allow them to adjust pricing with less overall backlash... after all, Content Passes aren't Chapters, and Chapters weren't DLC... right? RIGHT??Convoluted to confuse.

    It's 85aud that includes 2 dlc that my eso+ will gives me. There is no exclusive system like scribing, scrying/mythic, subclass or crafting.

    They'd have more takers if they did it in a crown bundle or a crate bundle. I get far more value and give more support to the game from just buying the max crown bundle or 1 year eso+.
    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.

    So basically the dlc is getting the dlc treatment?
