Any datamining on the PTS regarding the Warden yet?

austinwalter87ub17_ESO

Title says it all. Back when One Tamriel was launched on the PTS, the PTS was datamined. They discovered the missing 5th (ice/nature) class (named the Warden) had "re-emerged" into the game files. People are connecting the dots regarding the frost staff changes, frost motifs, and the emerging of these files. Is it a logical conclusion or indication of the class coming back to the game in 2017? Maybe, maybe not. Personally, i hope it does.

Has anyone datamined the PTS yet to see if there's anything new?

Not yet since the update isn't on there yet. There were some issues

The PTS it is not awake yet - the technical difficulties yes.

Hopefully later today perhaps.

Please stand by ...

If someone has done it, they would've make a thread about it already.

Not to mention several other threads by others.

It's also possible they could just be added as skill lines.

Do you intend to introduce new skill lines?

Yeah, we have things we want to do after One Tamriel and housing. But you know, for Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood we introduced new skill lines and we like to do it from time to time.

Are you potentially interested in adding new classes in the future as well?

Yeah, maybe some day. We all have ideas but for now we’re focused on One Tamriel which is a huge change behind the scenes for the game, with players of all levels playing together, so we want to do all that before we start adding new things.

This is classic fishing for a response - developers dangling possibilities out there and seeing what kind of reaction they get. Simultaneously dropping these skill lines back into the client so they could be datamined, which they were a few weeks later.

Even at this point they may intend to add these skill lines to the game but not have decided how. My guess would be that they'd prefer to add a new class - having only four and no nature themed ones is a bit weak compared to the rest of the market - but there are pros and cons either way.

I'd say that's why they've made the changes to the ice staff

I guesstimate they'll introduce a new class with their first real ESO expansion coming this year.

If there are new spells in the idea of a warden, I'd prefer they come in a skill line vs needing to start a new character over.

Seems it's the path they intend to follow....
