Ya id rather them fix the balance and reitemize what they already have. Just what we need another trial for Elitie guilds to crush n 8 and a half minutes while the rest of the server farms the first boss for blue gear.

Well that didn't take long...

Ignoring the nonsense above: anyone else excited for armored trolls and creepy-looking snake things? Plus, Dragonstar Arena. That just looks awesome.

Mabye update 4 will bring back stamina builds?
or fix the animation cancelling mass-exploit?

Apparently my team could not survive elder scrolls online until update 4.

Champion system?

"Can your team survive The Elder Scrolls Online update four?"

Probably not. We'll all get memory leaks and lag.

Xiroku

I do hope spellcrafting and/or the champion system comes out...I really don't care for all this endgame group only content.

LonePirate

Were people actually clamoring for another trial that only a small percentage of people will actually play? It seems so unnecessary.

The Arena looks interesting. Hopefully it turns out to be fun as pretty much all of the new content since release has been underwhelming to say the least.

Audigy

Looks like a lot of Trial and Dungeon content, again ... what about those not interested in this type of content?

Not complaining, but its the 4th update and again its all about raid or die

jrgray93

I do want some good end-game PVE because the dress party in Cyrodiil can be a bit grating after a while, seeing as there are like four builds that people use effectively and everyone else is a pushover. That said, there are so many fundamental problems with skills and abilities, as well as bugs, already present in the game. Shoveling more content on top of that, especially leaderboard-driven DPS races, just seems like more trouble to me. Trials seemed 100% contrary to this game's marketing mantra to begin with. I guess I can't say much, having not participated in them yet, but they don't sound the slightest bit appealing.

The_Sadist

I'm indifferent, I still have the current Craglorn quests to finish.. but all in all it seems interesting.

Not just solo players but pvp focused players as well

Oh I agree, solo play, PvP and RP all seem to consistently get ignored by Zenimax.

This sort of group content is typically considered "endgame" in most other MMOs. What sort of solo content are you looking for? More pre-Vet zones?

Its not non sense nev i know we dont agree. But the opinions of those concerned with the game and its direction are just as valid as those that are satisfied with it. But your right it does look awesome.and it is much needed content

Daily quests.
New Quest-lines
Crafting quests / quest-lines
Random dynamic events
Additional solo dungeons (VR 11/12)

they should fix the loading screen bug first instead of releasing 4th update

Solo-centric player:

Request all future content updates and zones have dual phased SOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLOSOLO
content. Isn't fair some players have to play content they don't like in order to get certain rewards. By creating content that is not my preferred playstyle, you are excluding me from being able to obtain the same rewards and achievements as other players. Its just not fair.

Multi-style player:

But there has to be consequences or it isn't a decision. If both actions result in the exact same product or result, why render a choice at all?

---

Personally I hope to see BOTH sorts of content continue to be brought into this MMO, along with grouping that works, and motivation to group regularly before endgame content.

More choices = more fun. Unlike Nerfs and dilution.

You should probably understand by now that this is the way the game will be from here until the servers shut down. The devs are going to do what they want, regardless of input (for the most part). Trials are a joke. So here is another one

FlyingPenguin

Wish they would delay this a month and work out the bugs make it perfect or as close to before release. Personally I won't hold them to any 6 or so week updates just take your time ^_^

The loading screen bug obviously isn't affecting enough people for them to care.

That would be sad if it probably wasn't so true !

ZOS uses those because they have to. The players on the other hand will use Sorcerers.

How about scaling Craglorn for solo/duo players instead of scaling it for 4 people? How about scaling the new Dragonstar Arena to accommodate any number of players from 1-X? How about adding daily quests to the existing PVE zones that are similar to the city quests in Cyrodiil? How about doing something like this:

http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/126138/add-daily-quests-related-to-dark-anchors-and-world-bosses

or this:

http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/112038/daily-vr-level-quest-idea

Why must all new content be scaled for groups of 4 or 12? All of these fixed group size requirements are very off-putting for a variety of reasons, such as not being able to find the requisite number of people or not being able to experience the content because groups won't add you. It is sheer lunacy for ZOS to be so tightly knotted to their belief that only 4 player or 12 player groups deserve new content.

I don't think ZOS has any idea who plays this game and where their bread and butter is. The answer is plainly obvious to the rest of us: solo/duo players and PVPers - the same player types that ZOS continues to ignore for inexplicable reasons.

I am not sure where you got "solo content" from as I never mentioned this.

All I was saying is that we once again like in every update before get Trials and Dungeons.
This is a very poor and one sided development cycle, its the same cycle that has cost WOW 6 Million subs, that ruined SWTOR etc.

I don't understand why so many current MMO´s always do the same mistake by only looking at hardcore raiders and not anyone else.

We at ESO do have a strong pvp community, we do have adventurers, small group enthusiasts and Roleplayers just like we have solo gamers. So why must every content update be focused on a raid or a dungeon, content these people wont even use?

The VR content was great for people not interested in Trials and Dungeons, but groups - this however was removed and the replacement for this should have a strong priority.

PvP players have not yet seen anything, the promised Justice system is again not included.

Roleplayers are waiting for housing, a better RP environment, real in game jobs maybe horse breeding and more factions to interact with. Again nothing was added there yet with the exception of a Dye system maybe.

In my opinion ZO does wrong, Trials and Dungeons only is never good for a healthy and friendly community. Too many people are left out and will get angry and its a real shame that the Devs wont see this.


This is not about group vs. solo - this is about raid or die.

Samadhi

120 seconds of preview for content I won't be able to participate in due to my mental health issues.

Well, I'm glad the players this update is aimed at will be getting some new content, even if I won't be part of it with them.

Time to wait with bated breath for update 5.

LunaRae

Dragonstar arena and additional content to explore during my PvP downtime is the most interesting stuff in that vid for me. PvE group survival is something I find quite enjoyable, sort of akin to L4D style survival I hope, or maybe even waves of mobs. Hopefully not just run from A to B and profit
