Page not found - I suspect it went up briefly by accident - I bet someone at ZOS is getting a telling off right now!

Gidorick

Woot! They really should restrict PTS to those with ESO+... but yay for those of us without it!

Elsonso

Ok, ZOS... try to win me back... off to look this over.

Not sure how reliable Shacknews are, but it's in line with the OP's excitement. http://www.shacknews.com/article/91593/the-elder-scrolls-online-tamriel-unlimited-journeys-to-orsinium-in-november

Most of it sounds really great...but to be honest the "special resource nodes" feels like a slap in the face to crafters. My crafter is v2 and is next to useless in combat. My main, and alts collect nodes and store them for his use. While I'm speculating, I'm sure this is similar to what some others do with their crafter.

Pallmor

Finally, a DLC pack that I actually want to buy.

Same here, BUT I have enough skill points to put up to the max for mat type in every craft on all my combat characters too, so shouldn't be a problem.

Weberda

Hey guys, those new VR16 armor sets that you spent days farming the mats for..guess what? New sets in Orsinium make em' obsolete.

Alphashado

Progressive single player content sounds pretty awesome. Been playing MMOs for a very long time, and I can't think of this being done before. Great idea and I look forward to it.

"Orsinium, the second official DLC game pack for The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, will be available on the ESOTU PTS (Public Test Server) today and launches on PC/Mac on November 2nd, Xbox One on November 17th, and PlayStation®4 on November 18th."

Nov 2nd, eh? Well, happy birthday to me!!

Enodoc

zone of Wrothgar

Tears of joy.

Stonetrew

Single Solo and group sounds very entertaining.

Epona222

I'm loving the sound of the arena - I like grouping, but it will be great to have repeatable challenging content that I can do solo during quiet moments.

Stonetrew

Now I just have to decide if I want to dabble in PTS or set up for it's release, Anyone that has went to PTS know does your char transfer over IE stats and gear?

club_restoration

Yay! Orcs are the coolest! I eagerly await to learn more about them. And that Ancient Orc crafting style sounds interesting, Orcs are masterful crafters after all

terrordactyl1971

Includes "LFG system improvements"

I know what you mean, I want to see it, but I also kinda want to keep it fresh for when it goes live.

I know. It'll go great with the extended loading screens we'll receive after the update!

Marrtha

Eh when would it come out? I have a feeling as soon as I'd gather rank 16 gear, I'd have to gear again, just cause new DLC. Excited, nonetheless

SneaK

They should update Dragonstar and Trials to gear out v16 with this next update. Make everything relevant once again, please.

Us console players didn't even get a chance to scratch the surface of that older content before the IC update that made it all next to obsolete.

You didn't mention a bear mount!
Will there be a bear mount?
OMG I want a bear mount.
I think I saw a bear mount in the video.
You have to include the bear mount in your list.

Kind of excited about new content. I hope there's a bear mount as well.

Cherryblossom

O'dear, if you have just spent a fortune upgrading your VR16 gear, you should of waited!!!!

The Ancient Orc crafting style


old... old... OLD ORCS???

JD2013

Wait, look at the BASE game patch:

CONTROLLER SUPPORT

CROSS FACTION DUNGEON GROUPING

SHIELD DYE

Darkstorne

PLAYABLE AT ANY LEVEL

Finally! You're on the right track Whatever system you used to make this possible, I hope you can eventually apply it to the base game locations as well. Will make levelling alts so much more enjoyable if we can level in the areas we enjoy most. At the very least, I'm glad it's being applied to DLC, and once there's a lot of different DLC locations available playable at any level, that will be awesome.

Question regarding the Limited Edition version: Will subscribers have the option of a cheaper upgrade version? Or will they need to spend the full 5k Crowns for the mount and pet?
