Zombiehunter7X

Please say shadowmare will be rewarded in this dlc as im dreading that they haven't.

Pixie pet is kinda weird but I like the wolf!

His name is Shadowmere. Loved that horse! Though he had a bad habit of chasing dragons I was trying to run away from.

Kvatch Arena is a world boss thing?

Okay then.

Looking forward to murder contracts though!

Yeah. A bit underwhelming given the importance of that Arena later in the series. I guess it had to get a start somewhere.

Cinbri

New polymorph.. I wanna know more about it.

Beruge

Really looking forward to this. But i have a few questions that i hope could be answered:

What happends to the attribute and skills points you currently get/got from the veteran ranks?

Will the champion points still stay account wide?

Yeah, normally I am good with things like that, but for some reason I am a little ... Underwhelmed by that decision.

Still, Dark Brotherhood and Minotaurs and Poison Making are great things to have. As are Anvil and Kvatch.

@Beruge We'll know for sure when the patch notes are out, but assuming nothing's changed from what they said before, those 15 points will be moved into the 1-50 levelling, with 2 points given on levels 5/15/25/35/45 and 3 points given on levels 10/20/30/40/50.

As far as we know, yes, CPs will stay account-wide (if they didn't, removing VRs would be pointless).

Zombiehunter7X

Trying to think what the polymorth costume could possibly be and the fact we are getting 2 special effect items has made my day as i love collecting them all ,raining coins was just brilliant all i will say if 1 of the 2 is a torture stone table we are tied to and a player can cut us lose I'd be very happy

I wonder how poison will work. Will it be some generic DoT, a flat or percentage-based increase in damage (versus certain mob types), work as a resource removal, or a combination of these and/or other effects (affecting movement speed, regeneration, resistances comes to mind).

Edit: also, what is 'The new Assassin personality'?

Valrien

@ZOS_GinaBruno Will the wolf mount be available for separate purchase or is it a Collector's Edition exclusive?

If I can buy it separately, then it "might" be the mount to pull me off of my Senche Tiger.

Zombiehunter7X

The assassin personality could possibly be an emote.

Ghrimn

I just hope we can choose to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, or at the very least just completely ignore them and still have plenty to do. Unlike the Thieves Guild DLC.

It is 42 billion

Im very amused the DLC costs 2000 while a motif set costs 5000 crowns. I guess this DLC will be puny like the thieves guild.

A new PASSIVE skill line? After what I saw in the thieves guild no thank you, id rather something actually useful in general gameplay.

Im curious to see how beautiful this new map will be and if there will be any merit in exploring it, but im expecting more boring quest marker chasing for junk rewards from cheesy AI. Ill still do it just to say I can do it, but you wont see me jumping for joy.

Honestly this base game patch (which should have been patches anyway) is more of a thing to me than the DLC.

The elite gear vendor will now sell TG item sets? Wow....meh....not really that exciting since nobody cares about Bahrahs curse. Poison making sounds interesting, but also sounds like tedious work so cheapos can one shot kill more often in cyrodill. Craft bags - sweet! But as a master crafter with maxed out bank and inventory, i really dont need this at all. "Improvements' to traits, 'fixes' for cyrodill and class 'balance' all sound good and sound scary.


and my personal favorite, "Pre-Launch Events"
Do you guys realize that for the ESO anniversary you had absolutely no give-aways, and shared maybe 3 cakes your fans created, none of them recieving the 'something special for random submissions'? Please make an effort this time.

You will get something, but it's not a pet! Stay tuned for the patch notes later today to reveal what this shiny new item is...

Wolf Mount. FINALLY ... a mount worthy of an Orc! Bear are soooo Nord.

xANTIxMATTERx

Zombiehunter7X

@ZOS

Whats the point in removing Vet rank, then attaching a rank to armor? What is so difficult about having armor match the level of the character? You have made soooo many good sets, yet the end game group can only viably used like 6 of these. How does that make any sense?
