    That sounds way too ominous for just a "Road Ahead 2017" type of thing. I am not looking forward to this. The bigger the hype, the less it benefits me. It sounds like they are setting the stage for some seriously disappointing news. Sorry to be so pessimistic. I have had my hopes dashed against the rocks by the ZOS waves before. It is hard to forget.

    HYPE! I'm looking forward to this. I came back at the right time it seems.

    The next chapter sounds like you all plan to make this a very big update with the progression in the story we've been waiting for.

    The next chapter makes it sound like something more than a DLC, could we be seeing the first expansion? :hushed:.

    I'm really going to laugh if this isn't anything to do with Vvardenfell though and we're all hyping for nothing.

    Yeah, I don't think that this graphic, or the video, is a teaser for Vvardenfell. That is way too small for "The Next Chapter" Edit: We are not thinking big enough. Edit 2: We need to be thinking "What happens after the defeat of Molag Bal"

    Well it could be multiple zones/parts at once.

    We know the hints from the end of Orsinium as to who the new enemies will be, it could be they've bundled multiple announced items into one super expansion.

    Vvardenfell, Clockwork City, PvP Arenas + more surprising zones all bundled into one? We can hope right?

    You are killing me here Gina.

    Tell Rich it's his fault.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I kind of understand how you feel. I am excited but also scared at the same time. Them releasing a stream about something that have not been release are very unlike them. So it is very ominous.

    Due to our failure of one last push for funding via the Dro-m'Athra Motif sale we no longer have the money to support the servers and they'll be closed tonight.

    The image of the rock/lava was our depiction of ESO burning in hell from your failure to support it.

    We have been over 12 updates (buy to play changes, one tamriel, orsinium, etc.)
    Correct me if it is not true, but I don't remember one that had such a great fervor promoted any of them. It this is correct this is coming, it is bigger then before anything?

    Or just a new zone or a new story line after main story?

    This next day will be very long.

    Next chapter of the main story. They've been hinting at the story continuing since the end of Orsinium, and this should be the start of expanding out the official plot post-Molag Bal.

    • PVP Battlegrounds ?
    • A true PVP-only economy ?

    • New craftable gear (<=8 traits) ?
    • Consideration "pro" casual players ?
    • Something not to push you out of all advanced aspects of the game when not able to play on a regular basis like Auction House 10000 members for casuals (not kicked out of for 5 days off) ?
    • Skill-based game instead of gear-based game ?
    • PVP Balance with a true dedicated pvp team or true pvp players that do not lose to randoms in fights ? (oh *** already said that)
    • A pvp and combat team that talk to players on a regular basis and explain their decision and vision, give proof and balance and publish statistics of death recaps, kills, and any other performance indicators ?
    • A non-zerg or die Cyrodiil ?
    • So excited... ! >:)

    So 2 things are almost clear. Its a new zone and continuation of story line.
    Main question is will we expect a normal DLC with zone / trial / group dungeon and many hours of game play or a Expansion with more systems.
    As for the Hype something we realy need and some we could have:

    -Re-Style Clothing. Put to use the many Motifs we have
    -Jewelry Craft. At least for the crafting sets and a way to decon / upgrade the others
    -Upgrade Clothing to next CP level. If we have an upgrade OMG for the ones that spent many hours to have that sharp vmsa
    -New class based on frost or even conjuration

    My guess is the stream will be a couple of minutes - the length of this trailer, which will announce Q2/2017 DLC, which will be Vvardenfell, which will be a "standard" DLC (i.e. included in ESO+ or purchasable in crowns), of a size comparable with Orsinium. I don't expect anything more - but that's already a lot ;-)

    Could be that we get Matt Firor speaking afterwards - maybe.
