    I am looking forward to this DLC, it sounds fun... I am also looking forward to the new passive skills, like... oh, wait, we have no clue what they are yet... lets say there are 5 new passive skills, 3 with morphs, so 8 skill points worth...

    They're passive skills, I highly doubt passive skills have morphs, they have "upgrades" or ranks, but not morphs. And I am pretty sure there will be skyshards in the new zone you can collect, and main quest in zone will grant you some skill points. just like in IC and Orsinium.

    Would be nice if we didn't have to join every guild and group just to get the passive skills and abilities we need to compete.

    Maybe pull a Finn? Join up and....

    ZOS, please do not make the mistake like with xivkyn and glass motif, that you have put in into crown store after such a short time, which destroyed the trading of these!!!


    please do not put the new motifs and mats at all into crown store!! let it be rare, please!!!

    and also, please do not make them BOE or BOP, please, let it be tradable!!!

    Well just like Orsinium this is another questline my character is not interested in, he hates Orcs and He hates Thieves even more, only thing he hates more then them are werewolves, Imperial Culture and Argonians...can I at least chop off the thieves hands for stealing my things?

    Probably be no different for the Dark Brotherhood, my character is friends with Members of the Morag Tong and does not want to join their arch-enemies being the Dark Brotherhood, the only thing he would only be remotely interested in is the Clockwork city and that is because it would obviously involve 1/3 of the
    panethon he follows.

    The only thing I'm not happy about, is that we have to join the Thieves Guild. That we won't be able to join the Iron Wheels. And I probably won't buy it due to that. One thing you could do ZOS is having a Iron Wheels questline in which we have to infiltrate the TG., and pretend we're part of the Guild. Doing that you don't have to change the quests at all, maybe only a few that would depend on who we side with, but the main ones are all the same. And like that everyone's happy.

    Access to content from other alliances in any order you choose upon reaching Veteran Rank 1
    What? I figured it was coming but now? No more Silver and Gold! Explore at will. Does this mean they have already completed the conversion of these zones to "battle leveled" zones?
    Not quite yet, no. What this means is that once you reach VR1, the Silver and Gold alliances will unlock even if you haven't finished the main quest yet, and can progress in any order you'd like.
    Does this mean I can't enter silver at level 45 anymore, even if I have finished the main quest at that point?
    You can still enter as soon as you finish the main quest. This option is just for those who haven't finished the main quest, but have reached Veteran Rank.
    Ah, double standards. A nice idea. How does the setup get introduced if you've reached VR1 and not completed the Main Quest? Is it still Meridia's alternate timeline? I hope you haven't had to remove any of John Cleese's dialogue...

    @Makkir when they discussed cross faction via the grouping tool on ESO Live (before it existed) they mentioned the next step would be cross faction dungeons not using the grouping tool. I imagine (and hoping) this is what they mean.

    I play all alliances and have friends in all alliances.. But even I cant think any kind of cross faction grouping that could make sense in Cyrodiil.

    I'm interested, but damnit, why did it have to be in that dusty hell-hole of hammerfell? I hate that place.

    I am very happy about the world being opened up at vet 1, also am interested about the passive skill line, but disappointed that there is still no active skills for thieves guild despite having active skills for mage and fighter's guild.

    I am very intrigued with this line "Hours of exciting new story content and quests that will take you through all your favorite areas of Tamriel" if this adds any replay-ability to some of the "dead" zones that I have no reason of going back to now that i have done them, but used to love, such as valenwood, auridon, and black marsh, then I will be one happy dude.

    @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_GinaBruno guys, there is a new skill line mentioned. What about the people, who do not buy this DLC? Will it not cause disbalance for them?

    Or will the new skill line be availiable in the base game patch (also to people who do not buy this DLC)?

    I hope you do not intend to make this game pay to win?

    If I bought The Witcher 3 and did not pay for the DLC expansion Hearts of Stone, is it now pay to win that I do not get to experience additional aspects HoS brings to the game? What about in GW2 where the expansion features new classes and skill lines - is that pay to win if I refuse to buy that expansion?

    I feel as though these DLC are the very definition of "buy to play" just as subscriptions, box prices, and DLC have always been. I'm not really understanding how it'd suddenly be p2w with some skill lines (even though I suspect these will be fairly fluff passives). Are we going to restrict all DLC advancement to fluff for fear of 'unfair' advantages for those who purchase and enjoy the content? This is a genuinely tenuous line to draw. We should keep this in mind in the future if they decide to tie the spell crafting to a DLC release, because I can see this objection rising again and again.

    First of all, I am glad to see new PvE content added that goes beyond questing. We really need new raids, so thanks for that.

    Second, new area seems very interesting. After reading some of the comments, I too am hoping there is a choice to become part of the thieves guild as a spy for the Iron Wheels - There should still be time to make that a reality, ZoS.

    Third, from reading the announcement and some of the comments in this page, I guessing the full removal of the veteran system will not come with the release of this DLC. Is there a prevision to when it will happen, if it is still in the cards?

    I'm hoping, praying that something like what happened in Skyrim is available IE when the Dark Brotherhood approaches you in Skyrim you can choose to go against them and that unlocks a different quest path (although shorter) for you to do so and bring them down. When this happen in Skyrim it blew my mind that the developers thought of doing that, especially seeing my first reaction was to just attack the Dark Brotherhood and then the quest task changed.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno I really hope the team are working on this choose your own adventure for Dark Brotherhood which is locked in once you make your choice and comes with different perks perhaps, would add a ton of dynamite to the DLC and go towards the enforces/bandits theory you had for Justice.

    Not gonna be a fanboy here but w/the everyday bugs introduced in Orsinium, quest givers in ceilings, extra long loading screens when using wayshrines is the plan to ignore them and then everyone buys the new DLC and the bugs are forgotten an never to be fixed?

    Those bugs have been around since the PTS. More of the same w/the new DLC?
