Preyfar

ZOS... uhm, I have something to tell you, and... and don't hate me for this...

Seeing those facial expressions and character movements on the NPCs made me weep because they're so ****ING GOOD! Please, please, PLEASE tell me we're getting improved NPC animations with Orsinium because those looked RIDICULOUSLY good.

It almost made me think of Bioware-level character movements from discussions, and I got chills. XD

Slurg

Sigh... Can someone post the text please? No matter how I try, I cannot defeat the age gate boss on that link. It just loops back over and over again.

2nd november ? Holy Sheet, that was fast, didn't expect this 'til 30.11. Sooo, PTS very soon, I guess.

SpAEkus

Anyone have a link to where this is on the ESOTU map of Tamriel?

My wall printout of the standard ESO map doesn't have enough detail to show where that mountain range is.

Vyle_Byte

OH! ZoS!

Bravo!!!!! There are so many things! Shield dying! FINALLY!!! WOOT!!!! Cross Faction dungeon crawling!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! Subtitles for the hearing impaired?!!! Thank you, for putting in some much asked for things. This, makes me pretty damn happy I have to tell ya.

I may be more excited for the base game patch then the dlc itself lmao! However, it looks great. Totally stoked!

Um... baby bear?! So freakin cute! *happy dance*

Orchish

Shield dying? YES! Finally. Wait... i recently just switched from Tank to DPS.

ZOS_JasonLeavey

@Djeriko Shield dyeing. We told you it was "soon."

Slurg

Thanks @Preyfar !

Now that I know what's coming, I'm happy that it's coming soon! This sounds like something worth paying for!

Gilvoth

that champion point cap I LOVE that you did this
Thank You!
hopefully its set to 250 or 300 because im sitting at around 270 ish atm and i dont want to grind my life off to get more, my 270 ish cp is normal from what i have read.

Happy to help. And I'm also really surprised (and ecstatic!) that it's coming so soon as well.

Sadly not enough to make me want to resub.

I think 600 would have to be the bare minimum, as everyone who was VR14 when the CP system was announced and has worked as a regular player would be above 300+. The system should limit those who who grinded/exploited to get an advantage, not those who earned them through average play. I'm at 380ish CP. I get 1-2 points a day when I play, even if just from the Enlightenment system. Limiting it at 300 would hurt a lot of people who play regularly -vs- those who have, say, 1-2K CPs.

A "catch up" system should allow players to learn 2-3X XP towards CP until they hit a certain point (I'd say 300 is a good average point for CP). Given CP very quickly hits a point of diminishing returns...

I will thank the gods when I can use my xbox one controller on my pc for ESO! I play better no matter what game with a gamepad rather than a mouse/keyboard setup. The gamepads just feel more natural and I never loose finger position unlike on a keyboard.

Plus it will be easier to play ESO on the treadmill with a controller.

And the Shield dying and fixed LFG tool is awesome also!

Does "...and more!" by any chance include crafting material bags mentioned on one of the ESO Live segments a while back?

James-Wayne

OH HELL YES!!!

THANK YOU ZO, SO MUCH AWESOME!!!!!

I'm hoping. If they really buff the subscription benefits with things like the crafting bags it'll be a huge incentive for people to sub.

Well now. Much as ZOS seem to have been trying to drive me away recently I have to admit that Orsinium looks absolutely superb. I am actually excited about this... and generally I hate the orcs. So that is saying something!

Based on this first glance of the DLC... nice work, ZOS, nice work indeed.

Now if you would be so good as to stop devaluing crafters we might start seeing eye-to-eye again!

ashlee17

whooooohoooo!!!!!

"new ways to spend alliance points"

Awesome! As of now they aren't worth much so that's exciting. I'm intrigued!

MountainHound

Will we have to play ridiculous amounts and grind for 40 hours to just craft one item again? If so I am a little annoyed as I did this in Imperial City not expecting a new patch to be released right away with more contennt.

I hope it is something really good that you can ONLY get with AP. Then PVP should pick up more. I am just so happy it will be on PTS today so I can find out
