I'd like to see something too. I'm very biased hoping for some console info.

Even a teaser like a beta demo of an arena PvE for up to 4 ppl.

Little things go a long way

Cant wait for the console players to get the shaft like us good ol' PC players - if it wasn't for our loyalty this game would be dead, truth! ;-)

Asked this myself a few days back !

They sank/closed my thread so I'm guessing they either don't have anything good to say or simply don't want people asking this question !
Either way... biased moderation !

That thread is not closed.

It was "sank." The moderators made it so that new replies will not bring it to the front of the forum.

They use this terrible feature to silently close threads that criticize the game, because actually locking them would look bad.

Only a company in a really desperate position would use such a feature.

Just saying, not trolling. If it goes f2p I will never return to this game.

If they use a F2P hybrid model like SWTOR, where a subscription base remains, that could be tolerable.

I dont know about swtor,but i was subbed to Age of Conan before going f2p and then,when it went f2p and it had that model where you just can access to certain areas mainly endgame (kithai in this case)if you were subbed. Is that what you mean? I really liked that model too. Anyway i think its a lot better to not go f2p.

In SWTOR, leveling is slowed for non-subscribers, and a lot of perks automatically granted to subscribers cost extra for those choosing F2P.

It's a bit dated, but here is a write-up that details more.

Swtor has more things in it to be subscriber perks, this game has a way to go before it could do something similar. Not saying it couldn't go that way, just it needs a few things added.

I expect something along the lines of "Hi all! we are thrilled to tell you we have decided to move to our newly bought private island in this secret tropical paradise. We would all like to thank you for your contribution and wish you all good luck! Servers are on for 10 more days then ESO will go full tetris. Enjoy!"

I demand we nuke that island

Seriously though, not going to happen.
Also what does go full tetris actually mean????

I wouldn't expect any producer letter or "state of the game" type thing to give you much satisfaction. What you can expect is for them to address things that have easy answers that don't admit fault or offer actual solutions.

Lots of Viking fanbois

Ragnar Lodbrok or Lothbrok was a legendary Norse ruler and hero from the Viking Age described in Old Norse poetry and several sagas.

Also, skyrim has a HUGE following, lots of people came to ESO from skyrim. Skyrim is nord, nord is elder scroll viking.

Simple really.

Not simple when you come from morrowind like me!

Nah I'm kidding. I made the connection I just think it's silly. Theres like 10 ragnars in my guild. Very boring.

If it makes you feel better, Im Fjalar and his little brother is Sveinn.

SWTOR has the crappiest hybrid system Ive seen.

I prefer SOE's.

I have a question or I didn't see it.

Console players will be playing in the same "server/world" with us PC Gamers? or will be different instances? I mean, we will have more people playing together?

'Cause I'm really afraid of PC Gamers experience, we already have huge delay and less staff information, after console what will happen! and I don't intend to back and play this as a console gamer (bad experience with Skyrim Controle, playing as a sorcerer)

And about Road Letter, I'm really anxious about it, can't wait, but for now I don't have so much hope.

Basically no, because Microsoft doesn't allow crossplatformgaming with Ps3/4.

If TESO was released on PS4 then maybe it would be implemented.

Simple really.

And vikings were masters of mêlée combat, so you can see why the poor guy is so jaded.

Vikings got their asses handed to them by Native Americans when they came over first. Thats right, it wasn't Columbus, it was Vikings. Columbus just brought over disease that nearly wiped out the Native Americans.

But you forget the native americans gave columbus and his crew syphilus, a disease not found in the old world. For a hundred years after europe was one big std

thank you!, now any @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ could you help me answer it:

PC Gamers, what will happen? I won't change to console, and We'll deserve same attention here. I'm really afraid about it, and this could change my player experience with ESO. Could ya help us? Answer it? and about Road Map, what about? Thank you!

Another lie propagated by the white man. Native Americans were monogamous in their relationships. Native American population is estimated to be around 90 and 100 million at the time of Columbus's arrival. If this disease was created by them, that number would be much, much smaller.

The European population at the same time was around 35 million. War, disease and famine the cause.

I didn't think you were, I put that in so I wouldn't be reported for threatening language.

Many people in some forums and in the game chat are saying that maybe the f2p thing is not that mad at the moment as it was at the beginning. Some people claims that maybe in some letter they will talk about the possibility.

Of course those are just words, but a lot of people is starting to talk about it.

Just saying, not trolling. If it goes f2p I will never return to this game.

Same here. I may consider logging-in once in a while (just to look in) but Zenimax would NEVER get a single penny from me as far as any RLM transaction is concerned if this goes F2P !

That all you can say? Keep this negative *** to yourself. I for one am curious what they have planned for the upcoming stuff

I am too, I want to see if they will allow us to keep subscriptions like a freemium model.

Hilarious!

According to the German CM the letter comes next week, contrary to the statement by Matt Frior. I suppose, Kai Schober is right and Matt has no idea, when his letters were published ^^
