What is the Next Update ?

JD2013

I reckon Mephala’s Realm will be Q1 followed by Summerset as the Chapter for Q2.

Qbiken

My guess about new zones/areas will go to Summerset. You can actually swim there from Auridion if you know the tricks to do it. When getting there you´ll see big texts in the ground saying things like:

"Dark Anchor"
"Group Boss"

Next update probably won't hit till February.

The release won’t reach the live servers until it spends at least a month on the PTS and the PTS won’t be updated until at least January.

The next update will include more stuff in crown crate, and maybe, just maybe some useful changes to PvP. < (but I wouldn't place bets on the last part.)

Maybe free zone Murkmire and Transmog?

I really hope they just scrapped Murkmire.

Craglorn sucked, it sucked because it was forced grouping, and this'll suck for the same reason.

After the changes they made to Craglorn, Murkmire would almost certainly have to be changed accordingly. Before the changes, Craglorn was empty and a dead zone except for nirn farmers. Now, there are people in zone chat again.

They said they are reworking it so that it's a solo zone, which is why it hasn't come out yet.

New random DLC?

Most likely that Q1 2018 is a big QoL update leading into the next Chapter in Q2.

Asardes

It will be a base game patch consisting of interface changes, combat rebalancing and possibly transmog. The new DLC/chapter won't be released till late May/early June. Dunno about Murkmire but I haven't heard anything about it for at least 2 years.

Azurya

the NEXT update is all about NERF this and NERF that!
The next move towards the ultimate meta, one size fits all.

the setting is not so much interesting

VizigothAlaric

Craft-able Jewelry? Please.

I seriously doubt that we ever get jewelrycrafting as that would destroy the in game money sink that is the golden vendor.

But as is, I suspect that we won't hear anything before the beginning of 2018. Probably something on PTS by the end January and live in late February or early March. It likely will be a QoL update as that is the pattern.

I just hope that we can get to rescue a certain NPC who wrote in Orsinium that he wanted to come home.

Looking at all the silence from Gina recently, assuming she prepares the new patch description, it should be at least the base game size, no less

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhaha

Also it comes with survival and defense game modes for PvE, sea battles for PvP, imperial city borders now playable, 4 flags around Cyrodiil who increase the AP, jewelcrafting, spellcrafting, transmutation system, 2 new advanced classes for the existing classes, 1v1 arena PvP mode with weekly tournaments for in game gold and a 20 man raid.


No I'm joking, just a new *** zone with 4 quests so the casuals feel like it's a new game, 2 *** sets since now it's a tradition and of course a totally useless monster set that will give you 1k damage shield if you dodge roll in front of an enemy.

idk

The next update will just bring changes to the game. No DLC or added playable content. Last year it was housing.

Incorrect. The DLC release schedule they put out earlier this year indicates a DLC like Clockwork City and Thieves Guild etc.

ADarklore

Does anyone else think it's strange that we haven't heard a single word about the next content coming up? In the past whenever a new DLC dropped, the following week or two we'd see news on what's next... but after CWC... NOTHING. Last year we knew Homestead was coming out following One Tamriel... this year... NOTHING about what's following CWC.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Gina, you probably can't comment, but wondering why there is such silence about what's coming next when in previous years ZOS was more forthcoming?

Cinbri

Whatever it is, hopefully will contain good sets.

Asardes

I think the schedule they put out for the next years is something like:
Q1: general QoL update
Q2: big DLC/Expansion
Q3: dungeon pack
Q4: small DLC

Strider__Roshin

Not sure what it is, but I'm quite confident that it will be so easy that I won't be inspired to go through it. Just like Clockwork City.

DosPanchos

The silent treatment that we get is hilarious. I guess ZOS doesn't realize that not saying anything IS saying something so they might as well just say SOMETHING.

Asardes

Usually they don't announce the next update more than a couple of weeks before launching the PTS for it. I expect an announcement in early January, PTS mid January and live in early February. This is pretty much the case for any content launched over the last 1.5 years.

Zordrage

An announcement of the necromancer class..... What ?! i can daydream right ?!

EvilAutoTech

Crafted sets will be buffed to equal dungeon sets and BOP will be a thing of the past.





Mwahahah.

4-5 crafted sets are better than ~95% of dropped ones. You can find Night Mother's Gaze, Hunding's Rage, Law of Julianos in most end game PvE builds, and also Shacklebreaker in PvP ones; lately even Fortified Brass for people wanting high resistance in light or medium armor. The rest of them are outdated and ineffective. For example the recent changes have made Armor Master, which is a 9 trait set, unworkable and worse than Fortified Brass which is a 4 trait one.

Its not going to be an adventure zone. Craglorn was changed so that its all soloable, even the harder parts. As much as I'd like it to be the difficulty of current crag, it won't be.

This game absolutely does not need an AoE taunt

lol, sure it does xD

Personally I'd like to see a serious QoL update and some backgroud coding fix ups. That has to be a lot of hardwork but it doesn't directly convert into money.

Some balancing reworking that needs to be done.

If they can do both fix up the game annnnd make a DLC then sure, they are probably different groups within the company so perhaps that is easy enough to do.

Maybe it will be a small DLC like thieves or DB. Which I'd be okay with, because though small, they are detailed zones. I'd love another city like Abahs landing.
