This is standard operating procedure for ESO.Ok so they just announced that the information on update 7 is delayed.
Can we get some information why? Is this because of Quakecon?
I am getting so extremely sick of the endless "soon" and "after" and "just wait a little bit more" it's the fourth time I have heard this, so I would like to hear some more information this time around.
I'm surely hoping they don't wait until Quakecon. As far as I know this was the first time they gave us an actual date about info on this (content portion of the) release.. and now have postponed it.

Just to confirm, we are not waiting until QuakeCon to begin talking about Imperial City. We will begin giving you details next week, and we will be discussing some features of Imperial City on ESO Live next week as well. And, of course, we'll still be hosting our panel at QuakeCon.
We do apologize for this delay, but appreciate everyone hanging in there.
In the announcement/article about ZOS going to QuakeCon made recently there was mention of them having an IC panel or discussion or something, as well as talk about other 1.7 content (unspecified), so, yeah, it looks very much like we aren't getting the new update for at least a month. I recall early in the spring the consensus in many threads here was that 1.7 wouldn't hit until August at the earliest with September as the more likely date. Those predictions are sounding more likely every week.I'm surely hoping they don't wait until Quakecon. As far as I know this was the first time they gave us an actual date about info on this (content portion of the) release.. and now have postponed it.

The latest delay is just par for the course.
Thank you, Gina, for not just posting "Soon (tm)" or similar. :-)
Well, this is why speculation and suspicious recrimination are among the top forum games. Maybe there is an issue with how the paid Imperial City DLC will be released/paid for on console. Maybe there is a last minute change being made. But so far players being angry, anxious, quitting the game, etc, hasn't changed the basic MO for releasing info on new content. I kind of feel bad for the community managers because I am sure they would love to share more info, just as I am sure the people who work to design and code the content would love the players to get their hands on it.Gandrhulf_Harbard wrote: »Thank you, Gina, for not just posting "Soon (tm)" or similar. :-)
Except that is exactly what she did say: "Not when we said, but soon".
How many more times are we going to collectively allow Zeni make fools of us by them fobbing us off yet again.
I have no idea who has executive authority for constantly pushing things back and alienating the playerbase, but whoever it is that person should be sacked - they are the most significant threat to the prosperity of this game.
All The Best

Maybe there is a problem with doing a broadcast on Monday?timidobserver wrote: »ZOS_GinaBruno wrote: »I'm surely hoping they don't wait until Quakecon.

I don't understand the big difference between doing it Monday as it was announced and waiting a few more days.

As far as I am aware, they still haven't said whether it will be paid or not. Maybe that's what the delay is - finalising that decision.tinythinker wrote: »[...]how the paid Imperial City DLC will be released/paid for on console[...]
