Do you think next chapter will include a new class?

RPGplayer13579 · January 2018

a new area to explore. Like the rest of the Summerset Isles.

Aurielle · January 2018

If there's a new skill line or weapon type (the latter of which I doubt, given the inevitable uproar from master crafters), I REALLY hope it includes some form of AOE/conal immobilize/stun ability to help out Templar tanks. Only having access to single target CC options really sucks...

Vaoh · January 2018

I’m not sure. Datamining for Summerset has basically confirmed Spellcrafting but all we have about a new class was a really small thing indicating a “Battlemage” class. Idk if they’d make that a class though. Also a good chance of a new weapon line, specifically the 1H/Rune datamined awhile back.

No way to know atm. Dragon Bones hints a lot at Necromancy but again, no way to know.

DHale · January 2018

They haven’t fixed the first five. How is your dragon knight... healer working out for you. How many magplar dps running hard mode hall of fabrication can you point to? Where are all the sap tanks at?

Bowser · January 2018

Instead of a new class I would rather see a new weapon line: SPEARS

rez0055 · January 2018

No, because they have major balancing issues already.

Well the BG is already live. And as far as I know there is no other gaming mode that community is asking for.

So yeah a new class is a must if they want to sell the new chapter.

Well a lot of PVPers have been asking for some kind of ranked dueling arena, so there's that. Not that I think ZOS will actually include something like that in the next chapter.

PVP-ers can gather together and organize their ranked tournaments using dueling feature. Just seen a 5 million gold PVP tournament footage freshly posted on youtube - I don't think ZOS can organize anything more appealing than that.

As for what I expect, I don't think they'll include a new class. ZOS knows that it'll set a bad precedent to have their first two chapters include new classes, then the community will always expect a new class with every chapter and there could be a lot of backlash when they don't. Also warden was in the works for a long time, so I think they just wanted to get the content out so that it wasn't sitting in developmental purgatory anymore.

Too late - they already set a bad precedent by introducing chapters with locked in buy to win features in order to make it sell.
If they don't add a strong buy to win feature in the next chapter it won't sell.

For this chapter, I expect a bunch of smaller additions instead of a whole new class. Since it's all but confirmed to be taking place on Summerset Isles, I'd love to see some changes that benefit magicka users. Maybe a necromancy skill line, a 1H + rune weapon skill line, jewelry crafting, or even some form of spell crafting. I also really hope they take the opportunity to fix the horrible implementation of magicka tanking with frost staves, and 1H + rune would be a great skill line to properly set up magicka tanking. Oh and a new solo challenge or 2-person challenge with more random elements would be top notch. vMA is boring.

Most of the features you are talking about here are more suited for the base game - people won't buy the chapter for base game features.

I think ZOS made a big mistake by adding chapters - lots of subs unsubed - as the main perk of ESO+ having access to every corner of the game is gone. Also ZOS had to add OP sets/classes to sell chapter - the bad precedent is there already.

Best way to fix it is to acknowledge that "Chapter" was a mistake - make it a DLC and available to ESO+ members.
And APOLOGIZE to all ESO+ members that the promise of having access to all future releases was broken!

"CHAPTER" was a mistake cash grab. should recant.

Chapter is no different than a normal MMO expansion.

ESO operates like a normal MMO if you pay ESO+ . Get free content updates and a Paid Expansion

Spellcrafting has been in the works for years, so likely that.

We also have datamined images of a new weapon line. some form of Runestone+wand.

Time will tell.

we don't even have jewel crafting yet LOL!

As it stands right now Purple jewelry is the current incentive to do Vet Dungeons along with monster helms. If you put in Jewelry crafting then that means you can improve them. That means that besides Monster helms you can get everything in normal.
So ZOS has to work out incentives and changes to the current game if they put in jewelry crafting.
Crafted sets are nice but Dropped Sets are, generally speaking, more powerful. So it is maintaining that balance.

Integral1900 · January 2018

How about we get the warden working first, this thing might be notorious in pvp but in pve it’s a bit of a dud, especially the magic version

On a side note, there are spear animations in the game, go to auridon, sky watch and the fighters guild hall, the npc are practicing with spears, heck... I’d pay a few crowns for that

U_D_D_I_N_R · January 2018

A smg class that can do semi auto damage and 360 no scopes

ParaNostram · January 2018

I don't think there will be a new class but if there is and it isn't necromancer I am going to [redacted] my [redacted]

Amyxleexownsxu · January 2018

I think this chapter is gonna be spellcrafting finally

Durete · January 2018

No new classes needed. like, ever.

More content: yes!

More pvp styles: Yes! (I'd love to see "Warzones" like swtor has)

Fixing all those nasty bugs: Yes!

More personal challenges like vMA, Dragonstar: YES!

Rainraven · January 2018

Someone would have datamined it by now.

It's going to take them another few updates to get warden settled in. I really don't want them adding any new classes until they clarify their whole vision of how classes work and what they mean, and whether it's important a sorc be as great a healer as a templar and that sort of thing.

Well dataminers have recently found on Dragon Bones PTS the rooms/some other stuff that were used in the 2014 Spellcrafting showcase, so the chance of there being Spellcrafting is extremely high. I’m sure they’ll release a post though about that like they did regarding Summerset+Artaeum.

Tasear · January 2018

As much I love necromancer idea... just not seeing it..but then again that emote. Then those moving dragon bones. I don't anymore..I accept the surprise.

MaxwellC · January 2018

Swear if I see a new class rather than new class skills for the existing class then Imma bounce; It's crazy that we've been nearly 4 years without any new skills for our beloved classes (more so the legacy classes).

Tasear · January 2018

New idea! We get advance class options. But we have to complete certain tasks for to happen. Like play as x with x role. Or spent x amount of time in dungeons. Rescrut x number people in cydrolli. It would increase replayabliity and mystery to game.

xSkullfox · January 2018

If they sell it for 40€+ then they need to add some more content as 1 zone.

CaffeinatedMayhem · January 2018

Fix Warden first.

Nemesis7884 · January 2018

I doubt there will be a new class but if for one would really enjoy it - i think there are still some thematic and mechanic spots to fill where a new class would bring something unique to the table (my favorite still being the bard, other people would like a necro which sounds fun too - just have to make sure there are not too many overlaps with sorc/nb). I remember that Wrobel said in one Morrowind stream that they were also talking about a "dark mage" class but thought it was too similar to the NB.

I think some sort of new skill line ala dark brotherhood is probably more likely... i just hope it will contain universally usable skills...but we'll see

deathcoyrwb17_ESO · January 2018

Probably 2 new skill line. Hopefully 2 new weapons skill line, Longbow/Crossbow and Spears. Time for true ranged combat to make it back into the game instead of being relegated to backbar. Eso is probably the only mmorpg that doesn't feature a viable archer archetype.

DoctorESO · January 2018

.

SydneyGrey · January 2018

Where is the "I don't know" button?

Thannazzar · January 2018

Probably a Psyjic Order world skill line given the lead up quests to clockwork city.

Doubt we will get a race or class in 2018.

Apparently there's one more class from development that didn't make it into the original release alongside Warden, so there's a possibility.

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Classes

what? which?

From the Notes section at the bottom of the UESP page:

"An unknown sixth class was also originally planned".

eso_lags · January 2018

new class, fix the lag, spell crafting.. there, ill never stop playing.

Oh and if you're worried about balance.... There is no balance in this game and will never be. One tamriel was the final nail in the balance coffin... And zos refuses to balance pve & pvp separately so..... Why not add things to the game that make it more fun? if we cant have competitive pvp and balance then im all for adding things like new classes and spell crafting.. Whatever makes things interesting.

altemriel · January 2018

psijic!!! and spellcrafting and/or jewelrycrafting!!!

Another class skill line would be a great addition, I would also settle for a third morph option for class skills.

Asardes · January 2018

From what I understood, in the initial development they merged the planned summoner class into sorcerer, so that "missing" class is actually the Daedric Summoning skill line. Warden was planned as ani Ice & Nature mage from the start, and they mostly released it as such later. Mind that in the early game there weren't stamina morphs for class skills, so they probably added those later for warden as well, just like they did for the other classes. The big break for stamina was Dark Brotherhood patch. Before that for example Stamina Sorcerer wasn't played by almost anybody.
