As with our previous updates, The Elder Scrolls Online's Update 11 will come in two parts: the DLC dungeon pack, and the base game patch.The DLC dungeon pack Shadows of the Hist features two, all-new Argonian-themed group dungeons to challenge you and your groupmates, and the base game patch will allow you to change your appearance or race, and introduces a wide selection of new hair styles and adornments!

We'll provide more details about the DLC dungeon pack and base-game patch, and discuss additional features, release dates, and pricing very soon!


SHADOWS OF THE HIST DLC DUNGEON PACK CONTENT

Overcome the slavelords and free their helpless victims before it's too late! Ruins of Mazzatun is a 4-player group dungeon with a Normal and a Veteran modes and valuable rewards, including a new monster mask.




EXAMPLES FOR BASE GAME PATCH FEATURES & CONTENT

Appearance, Race, and Name Change

Are you tired of your current look? Do you feel disconnected with your racial features or your gender? Do you wish your parents had chosen a better name? With Update 11 you can purchase tokens that will allow you to completely redefine your appearance, pick a different name, or choose an entirely different race!

Hel Ra Citadel, Aetherian Archive, and Dragonstar Arena Improvements

Return to Hel Ra Citadel, the Aetherian Archive and Dragonstar Arena! We've improved these popular trials to increase difficulty and provide greater rewards. All items and weapons obtained in these trials have been updated to max level, and Hel Ra Citadel and the Aetherian Archive now feature a Normal and Veteran modes that will scale to your group leader and qualify you for the leaderboards. Are you ready to accept the challenge?

Text Chat for Console Clients

Providing Console players with the option to use text chat has been a popular request ever since The Elder Scrolls Online was released for Xbox One and PlayStation®4. With the coming update, console players will be able to write text messages in addition to using voice chat. Group leaders, guild leaders, and traders rejoice!

Premium Hairstyles and New Adornments

With Update 11 we're introducing dozens of new hair styles, adornments, and body markings that can be purchased from the in-game Crown Store. Update your character with new and stylish looks that will be the envy of all your friends!



Cyrodiil Town Capture

You've been requesting this, and we've been listening! Beginning with Update 11, Cyrodiil will feature the capturable towns of Cropsford, Vlastarus and Bruma! Each town contains three flags to capture and control, one with no guards, one with a few guards, and one that is heavily guarded, in a fashion similar to district flags in the Imperial City. Capturing a town grants an Alliance another place to respawn from PVP deaths and access to town merchants selling purple-quality gear for Alliance Points. Experience this new style of PVP gameplay and win honor and glory for your Alliance!


We'll be discussing some of Update 11's additional features at a later date, including new motifs, new item sets, improved facial effects, the ability to dye costumes, and as always, many changes and improvements to existing content. Watch for additional information on our website and social channels, and get ready to join us on the test server (PTS) soon!

It is hard to tell. They specifically say the hair styles come from the crown store. But for the others mention tokens being purchased. So maybe the others will have an ingame purchase method as well?

Or maybe someone knows more out there? Anyone?

Yeah the styles in the picture are quite...bouffant xD

It would seem so. I would imagine much like the mimic stone you will get to buy tokens on the crown store to change certain aspects of your character. Just a guess at this stage...

Console text chat, finally! I will still use voice for dungeons but this will make world bosses, trading, and guild/group finding so much easier.

PvP town capture? We already have plenty of keeps to capture and districts to capture in IC. They even explicilty say its "similar to IC." What does this even add to the game? For crying out loud just add dueling. At least that is something new.

I guess housing wont be out til 4th quarter, oh well. Not a fan of the area chat option on console, hate typing while playing. I really hope they give us the option to not use it as I hate having chat boxes and other graphic stuff on my screen when I play. I turn most of them off and hope that this can be as well.

I am also wondering whose child the facial effects person is. Improved facial effects. Again? Really?? Get that person to work on something useful!

Yeah Im that guy it seems.

So... the actual DLC is just 2 dungeons?

As much as I'm looking forward to playing with new appearances, am I the only one thinking that 2 dungeons seems a little thin for a DLC?

Abeille

No mention of "new hair colors"

I mean, I'm actually a little intrigued. My characters always look... blank. They just kind of look around on the same loop, occasionally doing that whole baring-their-teeth thing if there's enemies nearby (? sometimes it feels random). They also feel pretty unexpressive for some emotes like crying, which ain't right. I'd appreciate some tweaks that make them feel more alive. It's far from a priority, but it's nice.

To me it sort of depends on how good the dungeons are. If they are fun and decent there is a good chance i will spend more time in them then i did in the entire TG dlc.

I don't even care for the two dungeons, I'm finally getting text chat...A features I've been waiting 380 days for.

Well, normal and veteran versions of 2 dungeons. For a small DLC (like the size of the TG and DB ones) I'd consider that adequate if they're well done, and the vet versions are continuations of the normal versions (like most vet dungeons) rather than just tuned-up versions of the exact same dungeon (like the Imperial City ones).

Korah_Eaglecry

Well since this is going to be content lite DLC. And more about cosmetics and Dungeon improvements. Im hoping the base game patch is bug fix heavy.

Ill be absolutely okay with at least one quarter being committed to keeping the game from coming apart with all the changes if thats the plan.

Recremen

WOW, lots of excellent and long-desired features coming in that DLC!! I wonder how the appearance change stuff will work. If we have to purchase "dozens of new hair styles, adornments, and body markings" from the Crown Store, does that mean the tokens for appearance change will have a gold cost instead? Or is it more of a double-dip and only with Crowns? Guess we'll find out soon!

I'm sure the vet versions will just be the normal versions cranked up a notch like IC, that's pretty much been their MO since vCoA. If they were going to do the continuation thing I think we would be getting vet Arx Corinium.

I've updated my OP so people who are at work or can't access the link can see what the features are.
