Official Discussion Thread for "The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind – Announcement and Details"

Abeille

@ZOS_GinaBruno please, will we be able to change existing characters' classes for Warden or to buy more character slots? A lot of people already maxed their 12 characters and wouldn't want to delete one in order to experience the new class.

If not, can you tell the rest of the guys at ZOS that it is something people want to be added, please?

Majic

I have twelve characters.

Will it be possible to purchase additional character slots beyond the current cap of twelve when Morrowind goes live?

Edit: Looks like great minds think alike.

FINALLY!!!! A nature-based class!
And to add a cool bear companion too!
Can't wait... CAN'T FRICKI'N WAIT!!!!

Hey Gina! Thanks for the thread. Any chance we are getting a class change token and/or more purchasable character slots with the addition of the Warden?

I sincerely hope so. My Nord Dragonknight, Bjorn, should be a Warden. I had to make him a Dragonknight because it was the "least bad" class for his personality.

I can't possibly delete him and remake a new version because he's my 9-trait crafter!

Same for my Nord Sorcerer, Gyda, although it won't hurt that much to delete her because I didn't pursue any long-term goal with her. My Argonian, who should also be a Warden, is going to lose all her progress towards Master Angler though, and that will hurt me a lot.

Can you answer my question, too? It was already brought up in this thread but for some reason you ignored it, even though you commented on other questions after.

What did you do to address the fact that some of us played since pre-release (or just for a long time) and either have all character slots taken or progressed so deep on one character already that rerolling Warden is not an option. I can't work on my 22.3k or so achievement points again in case I like this new class more than others I already have. I was able to choose my main, but I only had 4 classes to choose from.

Are you thinking on implementing some account-wide counter of unique achievements (so that playing this new class doesn't feel like a waste of time) or are we going to have a class change token or something of a sort?

Also this quote made me cry even more:

as Morrowind introduces the first new class since ESO launched.

So will it keep happening and you'll be adding classes and we, players, can't just finally play and "live" in Tamriel knowing which class we prefer and working on content instead of comparing them? Guys, you got it wrong. The whole point of TES is not having class restrictions. This is the opposite of what a lot of us expected from you. Now the game will have 12 skill lines we can't try once we create a character.

Thank you.

This is the official discussion thread for the blog article The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind – Announcement and Details. This June, the next Chapter in The Elder Scrolls Online will begin. Return to the iconic island of Vvardenfell for over 30 hours of adventure in a brand new location, with a new class, a new PvP mode, a new Trial, and so much more!

Please DON'T! Don't make battlegrounds in 4x4x4 format. Why not just 4x4 or 8x8 or 12x12?
Best way is to add all three formats:
4x4
8x8
12x12
Guys really...4x4x4 is a big mistake. It's a fail on the same level like veteran rangs and champion system.
The only way if u wanna do it 4x4x4 is for unranked ladder...Like skirmish just for fun, you know, but we need normal PvP formats as well.

Four classes had 12 slots then five could have 15 slots.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_RichLambert

If I create a new character and start his or her journey off in Morrowind, will I be able to level him up all the way to Level 50 just by playing the Morrowind story content from beginning to end?

UrODelA

...so let me get that straight ( i'm just a blunt SalamandeR)?

i pre ordered the 'imperial edition' back in the day - just to get back to the island...well...near it at least...all i wanted, was to stroll through Vvardenfell again!

NOW i get the release of the game i wanted initially, so pre order of the 'physical edition' it is!

the question @ZOS_GinaBruno & @all you wise creatures: will the games codes be separated; meaning - can i add the 'add on' to my 'imp edition' and give the 'base game' to my baby sister (she resisted way too long ^^ )?

addendum

after reading through other threads, i found the answer; Pete Hines tweeted, it is possible to use the expansion (of the physical CE ) with existing accounts!

Surliman

I enjoyed that video. Fact, I enjoy a lot of those. Used to play Wow for many, many years. Love the cgi clips. I'd pay to go see a 2 hour movie all made with cgi that good. Not making it realistic as they did with the Wow movie, or so bad it looks like a cartoon. But...like what this video.

AlexTech0x

$60 for 30 hours? new content for a weekend then its repetitive (again)

Am I the only one cringing by the fact they named it Morrowind? They should have called it Vvardenfell to distinguish it from the single-player game, which would have been more accurate anyway.

I wondered about that too. My conclusion was that they probably did it on purpose to capitalize on the Morrowind anniversary this year and the general fan nostalgia for the original game.

Probably a marketing reason behind it IMHO. Vvardenfell is hard to remember/pronounce/spell, but Morrowind is very easy to market.

@ZOS_GinaBruno so I'm at work now but want to make sure I am understanding clearly. Will we be able to freely take our current characters to"morrowind" and back? Or is it a once there you're always there kind of thing?

You can go to Morrowind with your current character whenever you'd like (starting June 6, that is) and you can leave and go to other zones freely as well, just like any other zone.

Gee, that sounds a lot like a DLC. Other than having to pay for it, how does Morrowind differ from, say, Wrothgar?

Ilsabet

The fate of Morrowind hangs in the balance and you must take up the mantle of a hero to help Vivec, the legendary warrior-poet and Guardian of Vvardenfell, save the world from a deadly Daedric threat. Set roughly 700 years before the events of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, ESO's new Chapter takes you to familiar locations as you attempt to solve the mystery of Vivec's mysterious illness and restore his strength.

Having read quite a bit today about Vivec and his sermons, I'm not sure how I feel about getting up close and personal with him. Dude had some kinky proclivities.

Qbiken

When will more details about Warden-class skilline come out? (Like the specific skills/morphs/passives etc.)

Tsute

So no discount for subscribers. Ah well, June is my 3-check month, adding it to the list.

So, I already own the Collector's Edition Box. I am going to get this new Box too. My question is, how would that work? Can I activate the codes on my existing account. What will I do with the extra game code? Since I get the base game again.

davey1107

@ZOS_GinaBruno is there a link to the Morrowind announcement video, or the 1/27 ESO live? I cannot find my way there, or a link in these threads.

the logical thing is to get 'the fix' to someone new to the game ^^ ( implied, that it will be separate codes) ...

there you go ^^

Morgul667

Thanks for this update, seems promising

2 questions for future expansion:

- is it possible to start a new char directly in the new zone? Would love to start a warden but does not wish to choose between doing new char and doing new zone first
- Please consider 3 more slots (minimum) for characters

2 comments:

- 4v4v4 seems weird, would be nice to have 4v4
- Please let us know in adavnce the size of download and install for expansion to avoid bad surprises

Clarebear

With buying Morrowind (not the upgrade) do you also get all previous DLC?

In the stream, they said that there will be a new tutorial which takes you straight into morrowind.

@ZOS_GinaBruno will the original tutorial still be available?

TES has always has preset classes. The only exception was Skyrim.

i would like answer to that as well

Pyr0xyrecuprotite

Will the new game include a level cap increase? (I'm assuming that the CP cap will increase).

Seleval

The Cp will increase to 600, tho I think this is coming with Homestead

maltinkilic

I have some questions also.

Will there be new crafting line, or skill line. Will there be new skyshards. If i buy expansion and my friend does not, will we be able to still interract(chat etc) when i am on Vvardenfell and he is not. Can someone who doesn't own morrowind will still be able to get/buy specific items drops/crafted in morrowind.

Will we be able to get inside the ghost fence and explore redmountain.

bus10

Would the new expansion allow an opportunity for another account transfer? Mainly from console to PC?
