Summerset Chapter/DLC confirmed in clockwork city

Kevin_of_Devinshire

Zos has a lot of hype to live up to when it comes to Summerset Isles.

ArterionAU

I would rather an expansion of Summerset isle instead of just DLC, but I am really excited if it is the next content that we will be getting, can't wait to see how ZOS handles it.

Vimora

Ideally, the next chapter introduces owpvp in all of Tamriel, with an extended justice system to cover it. I think this is what is being hinted at by all the shared node quests in CWC where there is always someone closer to the spawn than you.

Open World PvP would be a disaster for ESO and if ZOS have any sense in their heads, they will never implement it @Vimora

Vivecc

theres a strong indication that summerset will play a role ...in the future...
but to say next chapter - confirmed....this is a bit too strong for my liking.
Confirmed is when ZOS officially announces that, and nothing else

lientier

I hope they add another race, not another class! Like Maormer! Or a waterzone with player ships.. and stuff...

Summerset would be fun, but I think we'll see atleast one Daedric realm before we get another Tamrielic zone.

Also I get the sense from the lore that the Island of Summerset is not very well explored outside Alinor even as late as 3E.

@Enodoc ?

Was actually chatting with a friend today about that. Between the events of the base game and the rise of Tiber Septim we really have no history as to what happened in the Summerset Isles. So you pretty much have 250 years of time to play with. As far as Daedric realms, I'd also say that we will be seeing that in the chapter since Nocturnal, Clavicus and Mephala are mentioned as having an agenda in Tamriel.

And as we all know, when a Daedric Prince has an agenda, it means we go to their house and break their things.

Don't you know how clickbait works?

I had to force myself to not phrase the title as a question.

But it's like that in every game, if you mean the amount of qq that would ensue. A proper justice system would mean I would kill you if you pick up my ore but only if I'm willing to bear the consequences.

I don't know the current state of PvP in BDO, but if my experience with it is any indication, the negative impact of 'unjustly' killing someone is never high enough.

Additionally people who enjoy griefing other players will always grief other players, the consequences do not factor into it.

you also have to consider that this game has a large casual audience, none of them would really enjoy being jumped on while trying to do a quest.

If someone picks up "your" stuff while you are fighting a mob for it, that's griefing. Killing this someone for what he's done is not griefing. I'm only talking from this perspective, not because I want to go on a rampage.

Anyway, yeah I figured that this is not the game for owpvp and I'm fine with it.

Faulgor

I don't think "confirmed" means what you thnk it means.

@Vimora I agree that it would be nice to bop people who take 'your' stuff, but having been ganked while trying to do dailies or just harvesting. I'm willing to pay the price for not having OpenPvP

Zos loves using its pre-release content as new content (warden), and Alinor (capital city of sumerset) was the old Auridon before beta testing. Follow the link for the many quests planned, some quests moved to other zones but others were never used - including meeting the sload.. https://www.imperial-library.info/content/eso-alinor-and-ayarene

Bonus info (I found this looking for the above link) eso's lore master talked about the sload (in sumerset) back in 2015... https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/25141

Everything in Aetherius will be in the game eventually as long as the game is making money.

BDO has almost no PvE content. It's almost exclusively a PvP game.

BDO has tons of PvE content, it is mostly a PvP game though, yes.

The result of OpenPvP wouldn't be different though.

I am ok with that.

@Enodoc ?

Yeah, we don't know very much about Summerset at all. The Altmer are very insular, and I think the majority of what we do have comes from reports written by visitors and/or external observers.

That's a rather obscure statement. Why do you think that? It's not like Aetherius is a particularly easy realm to get to (you usually have to be dead), and I don't think we even know what the full extent of Aetherius is.

Thanks for the spoiler jerkface

Don't know how that is really a spoiler.

If I was going to spoil anything I'd say that Tyler is actually Draco Malfoy and kills Sotha Sil by sinking the Titanic.

Nooooooooooooo

So new chapter....wonder what the new class will be.

Since Warden was worked on in development but scrapped before launch then brought back in Morrowind, I'm hoping Summerset brings back the One-Handed and Rune skill line that as also cut before release.

Dusho_Edin

Pro tip if not wanting to see spoliers for quests don't come on forums until you complete the quest.. I for one don't care about spoilers or questlines and had I a question about something I would post in in general with great detail so as to get a correct answer.

Now all you need to do is paint me like one of your French girls, and we will have quite the "spoiler reveal"!

BrianDavion

Nah the next chapter will be something else entirely. Sumerset is just goiung to be a crappy dungeon only DLC released in January...

*is still bitter about Falkreth*

I’m almost certain that Q2 2018, meaning next chapter, is going to launch Summerset Isles as a zone and Spellcrafting as the new “system” (like BGs were to Morrowind).

Too early to be hyped but this’ll probably happen! Super early hype! smiley:

I wanna be gyped.but i onow.zps.is gonna destroy all classes and builds just to compensate the new system or classes its like hypothetical: heres new necromancer class! Enjoy this new class but.... we've cut all all summoned pets max dmg and health and given them to the new class.

ereboz

The next chapter definitely won't add a new class considering the warden still needs attention, and spellcrafting won't happen because it will break the game.

I’m so excited that Summerset is pretty much confirmed as an upcoming chapter/DLC. It’s about time that The Dominion side of Tamriel received some love.
