Are we getting a "proper" DLC before Morrowind comes along?

stevepdodson_ESO888

According to ZOS's "revised busine$$ plan" shouldn't we be getting a DLC before Morrowind arrives?

And by that I don't mean find-and-fetch festivals, half-arsed anniversaries, Ken and Barbie play housie, or messing around with CP in Cyro...give us actual honest to goodness DLC with new zones and quests, or new additions to PvP that don't break stuff all the time

If anyone out there knows anything on this i would be grateful for your insight.

Thanks in advance for the info.

Nope. Morrowind is next

ZiRM

I doubt it.

There won't be anything big before Morrowind. According to their new plan there will be a normal DLC Q1 (homestead this year though), a chapter in Q2 (Morrowind), dungeons Q3 (possibly the datamined nord dungeons) and a normal DLC in Q4.

Homestead was the DLC for Q1.

No more dlc before Morrowind, we get an dungeon one afterwards.
Housing is an DLC, its free as in increases crown purchases.
The others does not so they are not free.

Not liking the dlc is another issue, yes housing should be fleshed out a lot more.
However lots of people has no use for an new raid either while others love it.

What was the last "proper" dlc? Dark brotherhood? Lol

Fairly certain Homestead was that DLC. The Morrowind expansion would obviously be the one expansion for the year. Then there would be two more DLCs for the remainder of the year.

"Downloadable content (DLC) is additional content created for a released video game. It is distributed through the Internet by the game's official publisher. Downloadable content can be of several types, ranging from aesthetic outfit changes to a new, extensive storyline, similar to an expansion pack. As such, DLC may add new game modes, objects, levels, challenges or other features to a complete, already released game."

So Homestead fits it. As does SOTH. One Tamriel? Ehhh kinda.

Then what do you think we'll be getting this coming Holiday season? I want to think Murkmire will be on the same scale as Morrowind, though with Morrowind being as big as it is, Its more logical that Murkmire will be another relatively small DLC adventure zone like The Gold Coast.

New dungeon equals a new set?

Pretty sure Murkmire was already datamined to be an ordinary sized zone - there are maps that have been extracted. So smaller than morrowind, bigger than gold coast.

Really? Homestead was more than fair enough to be considered DLC. It's adding a whole new feature into the game. Something that some people will literally spend 1000s of hours on. Just because you don't like it or do it doesn't mean it wasn't DLC.

kewl

Nope

idk

@stevepdodson_ESO888

Zos announced their plan forward shortly after announcing the expansion.
Makes clear what we can expect this year.

It's funny how you consider db the 'proper' dlc when housing and specially one tamriel certainly have much much more value.

You just give too much significance to a price tag.

Depends on your definition of DLC. i.e. I personally consider DLC to be an addition to the game. Something optional to the base game. Both One Tamriel and Homestead do not fit that description, so price tag does not necessarily come into it for some.

Umm.. Homestead fits your definition. A addition to the game and something optional to the base game. This is literally a addition to the base game and it is completely optional.

Q1 = Homestead, Q2 = Morrowind. DLC is in quarters

Sorry, I should have been clearer, when I said optional, I meant, optional as to whether you install it or not. Homestead is now part of the base game, whether you want to take advantage of its features or not.

Technically the same is true of the DLC. When a new DLC is released everyone has to download all the files needed for it. If you don't subscribe and don't buy it right away the only difference is you don't have access to it, the data is still on your PC (and obviously on the servers).

This is why when people buy the DLC they don't have to quit the game and download an update - they can play it right away because they've already downloaded it.

I for one hope we DON'T get anything else added to this game before Morrowind.

The least they can do is commit this time to fixing issues prior to any other content being released.

Y, I understand you like it if you want an IKEA edition of Sims. Not my cup of tea, I´d like to actually play the game than being a decorator.

I think arguing over it being a DLC or not is senseless. But if you look in crownstore there is a category for DLC, so I´d stay just stick with the category the game defines itself?

Duiwel

OP why would they bring anything big before their BIG expansion?

That would be counter productive and bad business practice.

Homestead didn't add any playable content.

I've been having a blast with it, but it's not the same as receiving a new trial or explorable zone. it also required less work on ZOS's end than a proper DLC (houses and furniture were all existing assets).

ZOS really needs to pick up the pace when it comes to releasing new playable content. They've already lost a ton of endgame players and it's only going to get worse as the drought continues.
