Why are y'all complaining about 40$?

Yubarius

I understand that you ESO+ subscribers are quite heated, and reasonably so, but to everyone who is not a sub, why are you guys all so mean to Zenimax about paying for more content?? It is a LARGE amount of stuff with the upgrade, so in my mind, it SHOULD be a bit higher in cost. Also, people are acting like 40$ is some MONSTEROUS price, which really isn't (again, if you are paying for ESO+, I completely understand).

if you are not an ESO plus subscriber - 4 pack of currently existing DLC's not counting shadows of hist is $40 worth of crowns. so...

(and honestly even if one IS an ESO plus subscriber I just... can't share in outrage?)

edited to add. $40 is not insignificant. but as far as AAA releases costs go? its on a lower side actualy. its also slightly less than buying 3 month block of ESO plus, so.. if you can afford ESO plus? you can afford the expansion. and if you cannot afford ESO plus.. and haven't been able to buy DLC's so far? then the point is moot anyways

It's only subs that are complaining...

I'm a sub and I'm fine with them charging extra for the expansion IF they deliver on their promises about content. If it's the same size as Orsinimum (in terms of hours of content), I'll be pissed.

DKsUnite

because its the price on an entire new game and i should be able to buy it with all my saved up crowns which i wont ever use because cosmetics dont usually concern me...

THEDKEXPERIENCE

I truly don't care about the $40.

I do care about being mislead into thinking that buying ESO+ would solve the necessity of having to buy things like this.

It's the lie that has me irritated. I'll spend $40 at a bar on Saturday.

It's no big deal

I guess because now that this is being called and it is an expansion. Everybody have to pay for it no matter what.
But I think that ESO+ members will not have to pay for the extra downloaded content this expansion will bring in the future. Like us non ESO+ members.

Subscriber here. Not heated at all. I just paid $100 to preorder the digital special edition.

The almighty netch has spoken.

So far I've only seen complaints about the price from people who subscribe.

I don't subscribe and I certainly haven't complained about the price. I haven't seen enough to decide if I want to get it yet, but at first glance the price seems reasonable for what you get. (Although I'm thinking if I do I will get the normal edition, not convinced the special edition stuff is worth the extra money.)

And it's not like ZOS are demanding $40 from you right this minute. Even if you want the pre-order bonuses you have until June to get it.

Which is good for me because I'll need to save up, or at least re-arrange my budget because I've got several other very expensive things to buy which are a higher priority (new graphics card for a start).

Now THAT is a true waste of money. Morrowind will offer you substantially more time's worth of happiness for your money than any amount of intoxication in one night could.

Interestingly enough, "it's a reasonable price" is a not a legal argument you can use to defend price-fixing.

So I'm more inclined to listen to arguments defending the merits of the shift in monetization strategy over arguments defending the price.

Battlegrounds is worth 40 alone to most PvP players. It's a lot of content I'd say....they are also a businesss and don't make content for free if it's an expansion it should be packed with content which it seems that way

But this topic is specifically about people who do not have a subscription. That means we already have to pay for every DLC pack (and every crown store item we want - no "free" crowns if you don't sub) and therefore this is no different - it's just a higher price for (hopefully) more content.

I paid 5,500 crowns, or £24 for the DLC bundle. Morrowind (standard edition upgrade) is £29.99 so it only has to have slightly more stuff than the DLCs to be a reasonable price compared to previous purchases.

Are you suggesting that eso+ members are not paying for dlc?

maboleth

As far as I'm concerned, the crafting bag alone is worth the sub price, not to mention other stuff.

Graydon

I'm a subscriber and $40 is well worth the entertainment that Morrowind should provide.

AlMcFly

If it were a $5 expansion, there would still be a lot of complaints. People want free stuff, no matter how cheap it already is.

For me, it's the obvious proof that the balancing patch isn't fully balancing. That's one part. The other part is that they're incapable of making logical decisions that would better the ESO gaming experience and instead cut corners to fix a bug that they've no idea to fix. They make quick marketing decisions instead of remaining in touch with their playerbase, and the unrealistic patting on the back that they incessantly do is hilariously trivial. Yet we get moderated when we point this out because it's 'not constructive' when we say how out of touch these people are with the playerbase. It's a joke. I hope they bring more info about how powerful Warden's going to be. Then I might be okay with it, but as it stands? Not a fan.

You could collect enough cans and recycle them in 4 months to make 40 bucks. lol

Honestly I think the majority of this forum community are whiney first time gamers. Did you buy Fallout 4 for $60? Skyrim Remastered? Battlefield 1?

Seriously. We were all pissed about them filling the crown store with cosmetic bs and promoting gambling with crown crates and how housing is a cash grab...but now we have actual Content to really play. All this forum does is *** and complain about everything. If you can't afford a $40 expansion but boast about your $175 annual ESO+ membership, you have problems. Be happy they're going in a creative direction, sheesh.

And to the guy saying $40 is half his month's food? Now I see who are the ones crying about not being handed an expansion pack. My monthly food bill is easily $300, try raising three kids and still playing ESO. ***.

given that with prime its 20% off for me? its not being price fixed? its purchasable from various retailers, not just from ESO store. price fixing would be if you cannot get it anywhere else and/or its exempt from any discounts.
