I know many disagree, but the End Game PvE in ESO bores the living sh#t out of me. No progression after V12 and Lackluster-loot have a lot of people scratching their heads asking, "...What's the point? Even if this loot was worthwhile, what am I going to use it for? More Trials?"

Where ESO is at this point in time, the only thing i can see having a lasting positive effect is truly competitive 1v1 PvP, with REWARDS for killing and REPERCUSSIONS for dying.

1v1 PVP will kill the game's variety, because then everyone wants all classes to be 100% balanced to be equal, and that'd ruin variety in combat.

I would say completely the opposite...
Lack of balance negate the variaty, because every1 just go for the OP classess and builds.
That is what we can see right now. DK and Sorc (+vamps) completely dominate PVP.

Since its all group content, I don't give a rats ass. I should clarify, the community for grouping in this game is a major pain as it forces you to play a certain way (light armor + staff) by constantly pushing timed battles that requires the most DPS possible before your timer expires; if you want to play anything else, you're out of luck. The group matchmaking is a joke as it doesn't look to form a balanced group, it just pairs you with whoever is next up on the list creating multiple incomplete groups of mostly 2 dps.

I'll wait for PTS patch notes.

I generally approve of the addition of new content.
But the word ''excited'' is too strong to describe my feelings about this .
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Uh... that's proper.

I find it incredibly odd that so many people play this as a solo game personally if I played it solo I could think of better games. The social aspect is what makes it for me, you guys are missing some pretty awesome content actually.

I wish it had Spellcrafting.

The real question is, will spell crafting also have a spell checker for people who don't know how to spell craft?

Brizz

No

Every patch they break the game. Learning to hate patches.

GamerzElite

No

First fix past blunders then bring new update. Cyrodill still have Lag, FPS problem. After 4 moths game still crashing 2-3 time per hour.

Bleakraven

Meh

Meh, seems like it's all end-game stuff, nothing in between for those still levelling. I have no motivation to re-do quests I already did on another faction all the way to VR10.

No, so far current craglorn is fail, people go there to grind out v12. I want stam fixes, weapons buffs MA and HA buffs, staff and LA nerfs, the new champ system and a tweak to enchanting.

I agree with all what you said except the staff and LA nerf. I mean why break the only thing working in game? They should instead rework the whole idea of stamina to make stamina builds just as strong as magicka.

Mitrenga

No

Not even close.

Ghenra

No

No, cause no PvP no party.

Arthur_Spoonfondle

No

No new solo content. No Thieves Guild or Dark brotherhood yet.

Still lots for me to do though and a long way from being bored. Just paid for another three months game time.

Phinix1

Meh

I have no comment, as my character/class of choice still hasn't made it to the existing trials yet, nor am I sure how I feel about them in general giving that people have been refusing to take stamina builds based on hypothetical numbers they may or may not understand without considering skill as a potential factor.

I will have to wait until I get there to gauge my experience with what we already have to say if I am excited about getting more. My hope is that this is just a bit of an appetizer to keep the rush-to-cap min-maxers occupied while they work on something more substantial.

Some of the far-future expansions on the other hand, definitely.

Slaunyeh

Meh

I'm kinda meh about it. I mean, it looks impressive and more content is always good, but "end-level group content" is as far from having me as target audience as physically possible in this game, so it doesn't look like it will do anything for me.

But getting 1.4 out of the way means that 1.5 is getting closer, so I can't be entirely un-excited either!

...We're playing in an 'MMO' where we can't battle our friends... I rest my case.

Navuri

Yes

ESO needs progressive raiding. Add something like Blackrock Mountain in WoW. The Molten Core and Blackwing Lair enthousiasts will know what I'm talking about. With updates like this I don't think the subs will increase. And no, you don't need to do raids. It's just fun to have them in game. I can't change my poll answer anymore but I've changed my mind to 'No'. Updates are nice, but I don't see how this is going to help players below VR12 (which is absurd to beging with) Should have made level 50 max and that's it. It's getting rather complicated to explain to new players how these weird systems work.

Dominoid

Meh

Can we see what's in it first other than a Craglorn video? Lol

"Excited about X as described here, in this link, describing the X to which I'm referring?"

There. A template for future polls.

AlienSlof

No

Nothing really appeals to me in this one. No spellcrafting. No justice system. No thieves or assassins guilds. No player housing. Etc.

The group stuff is all very well, but as a retired lady, all my buddies are often at work, school, college when I'm free. I'd like to see more solo stuff coming out alongside the group stuff - something for everyone then.

TehMagnus

Meh

I want the ability to duel my friends please.

This thing appears to be end-game content. I am not anywhere near 50 and won't be for a good long time. I am not interested in having a VR level vestige, so I am not sure I ever will. Update 4 is for other people, not me. Meh.

Slovenian_Gamer

No

This update is so crappy... I want some new solo zones, spellcrafting, more spells etc. not some *** Craglorn enlargemnt... which you will be forced again to complete it with a group...

Read the PVP forums, its all nerf this aoe, nerf that aoe, whaaaaaaaaaaaaa, this skill killed me nerf it.. It is already happening.

the most important thing here is the rate at which they are adding content.
cherry on top being that since this is a Beth subsidiary, they have the money to PR the hell out of them

you combine the two and keep it that way, it's people remaining, and more joining. Best news for any MMO. All else can be rectified in due time

I cant speak for others but for me ZO doesnt make sense right now.

I can assure you that I loved the VR zones in Beta and on the PTR, to me this was my type of game as I love to play in open worlds while meeting other gamers. This content however was removed and as replacement so to speak the Champion System announced.

That system however doesn't seem to come, but again a dungeon and raid update.

They also announced the justice system, but also this is not included in the patch.

To me open world is what I love, I cant stand seeing the same dungeon all day grinding for points so I can gear up. Sadly, exactly this seems to be the current goal by ZO.

They announced gear seasons, they give again only raid and dungeon content - so what are we supposed to think?

I like the idea of the "Arena" - but this only works for guilds like the Trials do. We need stuff in the open world for pugs, events that just happen where everyone can join without meeting a leet Gearscore, joining TS or having a professional spec.

Right now I don't have the time to advance into the VR levels so I can raid at 12, but I honestly don't see me doing another gear treadmill MMO if things move towards this. I understand that especially young folks that didn't do this for 10 years already find it fun, but to me its just not working anymore.

Raid or die isn't mine and if I criticize ZO then for not offering an alternative to that system which was promised to us once.

Besides that, their philosophy doesn't make sense. From 1- VR 12 its all solo, no chance of meeting anymore but at VR 12 you must have a huge guild or f list to advance - this just doesn't make sense.

Elloa

Yes

I'm not maximum level yet, so I'll not touch this update content before a long time, but I find the Dragon Arena concept wonderful and I'm certain I'll be super excited to play it!

Maverick827

Meh

The funny thing about MMOs is that a "meh" can turn into a "yes, I am excited" based on small buffs and bug fixes. I, personally, am very upset with the recent nerf to the Storm Atranoch ultimate. If, in Update 4, Zenimax returns the taunt to one of the morphs (as so many on these forums have advocated), then that would be enough to make me excited for the patch.

So while I have a "meh" right now, anything is possible when we actually get patch notes.

Then again, patch notes could also turn a "meh" into a "no" as well.
