So.. What's the general feeling on the Morrowind Announcement?

Jimbullbee85 · February 2017

Just out of interest because I keep falling off the fence and climbing back on again. How do you feel about the Morrowind announcement? I'm going to differentiate between subs and non subs because I've heard ALOT from furious subs but it would be interesting to see how many subs are happy with what has been announced. There's alot of speculation so far. Theres uncertainty about whether sub holders will see any perks with the June patch but I maintain a little bit of optimism that our monthly payment will not be ignored. Feel free to place your reasoning and I hope that no one will judge your perspective as I certainly won't.

I can understand why some aren't impressed at all by this DLC being called an expansion and thus put behind an additional paywall, but I also have perspective.

They gotta make money. I'd much prefer them charge for a proper expansion's array of content rather than push harder on the cash shop but give the expansion away at no extra charge.

They have to make money somewhere.

I'm a sub. Not happy or disappointed. The expansion looks like it will be quality content. I will be cancelling my sub though. Not out of protest, but just because it doesn't seem like a good deal anymore. I will be buying expansions and DLCs separately from now on since the sub won't include everything.

Meh.

Faulgor · February 2017

The trouble is we already knew we were getting Vvardenfell (woohoo!) since it was datamined last year, so that only leaves the bad surprises to react to, lol.

You finally got what you have wanted for a long, long time and the zone is presumably bigger than Orsinium.

'Are you not entertained?

wolfydog · February 2017

Its still a lot more content then Wrothgar which is the biggest thing they released so far.

Plus we still don't know all the little details that will trickle out till launch.

I'm mostly happy to finally having something new coming. As a PC player since beta, this came has been content starved for long periods of time. Hopefully after this DLC's will come out more regularly like when we have IC through shadows of the hist.

If only 10% of users sub, zos is making around $10 million/month. Do you really think only 10% sub for the crafting bag? It seems higher than that based on forum polls and group chat. How much does it cost to run this game? I have no experience here. Maybe it does cost more than 120 million a year, but I find that unlikely. Would you change your answer if you knew that zos was laughing all the way to the bank?

I'm content to pay the asking price. But it does beg the question whether ESO+ and the benefits more broadly be re-evaluated.

I want ZOS to come out and say they increased gear cap before i have any feeling about this. The trailer had me hyped but now i'm deflated over it. Grinding gear is not what i want in this expansion.

Subscriber since day one, very happy, my friends in rl and online who sub feel the same way...I think the perception that is being forced on the forums and reality are two separate things personally.

EDIT: looking at the poll so far seems reality is once again pimp slapping the haters. :-P

Abeille · February 2017

I get why people are mad, but I can't be mad. I expected a full-fledged Expansion Pack to cost extra, I do not see DLC and Expansion Packs as the same thing.

And I got my Warden. That alone is enough to make me happy. Plus, I really wanted to see some progress in the main story. I hope we get some news from Darien soon.

No.

What profit ZOS makes is irrelevant to my spending on the game. I hope they make enough profit to keep investing in new content, and I must assume that Morrowind coming so soon after Homesteads means that they are.

I'll spend money on the game as long as I feel it is value for money to me; the moment I stop feeling that is the moment I will unsub.

You perception of value for money will very probably be different to mine.

So happy. I'll admit I have rose-colored glasses when it comes to Morrowind, but how can I not? It's a huge nostalgia trip (it was what introduced me to Elder Scrolls) and remains one of the most unique settings I've encountered in fantasy RPGs... Dark elves are my favorite race both in game and in lore, jerkishness not withstanding, and Vvardenfell plays a huge part in that.

Honestly, between this and Housing, this year's updates are pretty much perfect for me.

Zanen · February 2017

The sub issue seems silly to me, you pay for current benefits, getting access to future DLCs is a benefit of subbing in the future.

I guess it would be fairer if the expansion could be bought with crowns, but I'm really not fussed about $40.

I do think they should add additional free character slots with the expansion though.I also think it's past time certain achievements and timesinks went account wide.

I like what I've seen so far, a lot of stuff that didn't make sense about their development priorities makes more sense now.

captainwolfos · February 2017

On the whole, I like that we're getting more content. It's the new class that has me a bit worried.

Will we have class changes? Will we get at least one for free, for insane people like myself who has all 24 slots filled and uses every character as a character rather than a mule? Or will we have to make an entirely new character from scratch?

I can't wait to see Vvardenfell in this time period, though.

I'm also a little annoyed that I can't get the physical collector's edition in this bloody country. I have to enlist my sister to buy it back home and send it over, which will naturally mean I'm not going to be able to play it until later.

raglau · February 2017

Contents looks good, but of course anything can look good at this stage. Even No Man's Sky looked good from the trailers! So I'll reserve judgement on whether to purchase.

As an ESO+ subber I certainly won't permit ZOS to double-dip my wallet. They can either sell me content to own, or content to lease, not both. The sub is now redundant, so I won't renew once my current 6 months expires.

NewBlacksmurf · February 2017

Feels like I've already responded to a very similar thread.....in any event

I'm actually happy because while I have no problem with those who choose to subscribe, I'd much rather purchase any DLC or Expansion even the crown store items...straight forward and not only have it for a certain server or what not.

Moonscythe · February 2017

I'm happy to finally get to Vardenfell but a bit irked at the price of the upgrade considering that the full version is still the same $60 but includes Morrowind.

Nope, I would congratulate them for making a product people want to pay for, I would have a feeling of self satisfaction knowing my favorite MMO will have much more content and many more expansion packs because the company is doing well financially.

Oh almost forgot.......... I would also flip a big fat middle finger to SJW doom sayers that always portray game developers as this huge evil entity that pick your pockets and sacrifice newborn infants to their dark gods.

I'm excited. I bought the digital collector's edition upgrade and the physical collector's edition.

Just as information for everyone, in Welcome to 2017, Matt Firor mentions:

«I've devoted a lot of space here to discuss our new content delivery strategy and how Morrowind will work. But we're doing a lot more than that – we'll have our dungeon-based DLC in Q3 and a content-based DLC in Q4. As usual, we will be selling them a la carte in the Crown Store and they will be available to ESO Plus members.»

Dasovaruilos · February 2017

When I pay a subscription for a month, I know it is for me to use the Crating Bag THAT MONTH, access the DLC THAT MONTH, get the XP bonus THAT MONTH and get the Crowns for THAT MONTH. I'm not paying something in installments for the future. I'm paying to use those benefits that period of time.

That said, I'm really happy with the direction they are taking with the game. We now have a clear path the updates will take every year and I can't wait to see what the next Chapters are bringing.

Remember: the unhappy ones are ALWAYS the more vocal ones. Yesterday in game, between my guild and even with random PUGs, the general feeling is overwhelmingly positive among players.

This is very useful as a release schedule portrays the sub benefits and allows a user to make a value decision. It goes some way to allaying the concern that ZOS will arbitrarily call digital content either DLC or Expac based upon what target they are missing that quarter. They will deliver it based upon a communicated release strategy, giving people an opportunity to decide if a sub is for them or not.

It looks quite good. The price point would put it out of reach for me for a while, but I am seriously looking at it.

I'd most certainly agree with you but that last sentence doesn't apply to me. Im not happy with the recent additional content. We were promised more content but at our expense. As a sub I'm a little miffed that they've created a loop hole in order to charge us for it but Im also trying to maintain the hope that it's going to be worth it. We'Lloyd have to see what subs will benefit from it. If I ditch my sub I'm going to have to pay another 5K crowns to get the dlc I was getting as part of that sub and lose the crafting bag. Does ZOS value the sub? At the minute it's a very good question.

More tempering expectations than on the fence, but it seemed the most appropriate answer for me.
