Does anyone know why they bother travelling to Twitch Headquarters for the announcement ?
As we can see in ESO Live, ZOS' facilities are doing an OK job at setting up a decent livestream show, and as far as I can remember, Morrowind's announcement last year wasn't impressive at all - as a "show".
Why don't they do it at ZOS ?

I believe some of them were at GDC which is in San Fran, could be they just figured they could do it there as it's in the same city?

That makes sense ! I didn't know about the GDC thing. Thanks for the info.

I'm not 100% one that's where they went, but they were flying out Monday and others on the forums speculated it's likely that's where they were off to.

Edit. Now that I think about it in the same thread someone said Jess confirmed that's where they were going.

Pete Hines is apparently joining them, since he Tweeted that the was travelling, too.

Was he there for the MW announcement or was the last time that awful broadcast when they announced they were changing the payment model yes and the man with the bad shirts left?

Pretty sure last time it was Pete and Rich. I seem to remember Pete saying about how Morrowind was something he worked on when he was a Dev.

This one is just concerned that they usually bring out Mr Pete for damage control. Has he ever been a dev? This one thought he had always worked on the PR side of things. Khajiit just does not want to hear anything along the lines of 'we are dropping ESO Plus and now crafting bag access is dependant on finding a lucky token in a crate' yes.

Let there be no unpleasant surprises behind that hedge please. The fact there are elves there is quite enough for one day.

You're correct, checking wiki info seems he's always been Manual Writing & PR for them. I guess he said it as a "when we worked on Morrowind" It was a year ago, so my memory is bad.
Hopefully his being there is more of a Bethesda show of support for another chapter and not a new change in business model, I know I joke about yearly changes in business model from ZOS but I'd rather that not be true!

Darkstorne

Will this be streamed on Youtube as well? My internet isn't great, and while I can stream on Youtube at 1080p without issue, Twitch's video player stutters permanently even at the lowest settings. No idea why

SantieClaws

It's time to put on long pants
It's time to tease boss fights
It's time to move some hedges
On ESO Live tonight!

He is the Bethesda VP of Marketing and PR. It's in his job description to be a part of announcements like this. He announces the games. He is worth keeping an eye on since he knows all the games and schedules.

Also he likes puppies - but Khajiit has mixed feelings about this!

I'm glad that we'll get jewelery crafting, but honestly I'd like to get spell crafting instead...

Watching Morrowind's announcement, it was at Twitch Headquarters too, and with Kelly (wearing a Twitch hoodie, so, she works for twitch?), Rich and Uncle Pete.

Is the stream over? I just got home from work but the link is dead.

It hasn't happened yet The stream will be tomorrow (March 21) at 4pm EDT.

Always slightly annoyed that you can't be bothered to give the time for time zones outside the US. Especially since there are EU servers and all.

Select "4pm EDT" then right click on it and choose "Search Google for '4pm EDT'", Google will show you the time based on your location.

Yes, we know how to do that... *sigh* ... It's just a matter of respect for EU customers.

It's a darn good thing they traveled. ZoS HQ is closed due to snow today. I know they didn't know that would happen when they planned to do this from Twitch HQ, but hey, it worked out!

Rich even got the pants out this time, didn't he?

Can confirm, there are pants accompanying us on this trip.

*Expects them to be part of a giveaway, vice actually being worn.*

Though, I am slightly curious what the outfit gold cost was for the proposed look.

VerboseQuips

Now, to the important topics. This year's CGI trailer'd better have some shirtless Darien Gautier in it!

MasterSpatula

Well, the Stream seems to be going, but it's only a new Logo and a sound that sounds like a Dalek being tortured.

Edit: Okay, now the sound has resolved into music, which is much better than Dalek torture.

Donari

Under ten minutes to go!

Donum-Dei

Event though it was short. And my expectation for things were not there.

I truly enjoy that new reveal. So much content and I haven't even touch the core of this game yet.

Druachan

Cool, the next chapter is....
404 not found

Awesome, my favourite place in Tamriel I’m sure it’ll be fixed in the morning

Does anyone have an idea why when you try to preorder the Digital Collectors Edition and you're already an ESO Plus member it asks you to add an ESO Plus membership?

Turelus

Amazing announcement stream.

Thanks to everyone at ZOS for putting it together and the work done on Summerset.

Probably for the same reason there's a big 'BUY NOW' button on the forum when you already own the game: nobody put in coding to check for that.

Less than twelve hours now! Hype!

I don't want to ruin the fun of people enjoying the "hype", but... what "hype" ?
We already know that the new "chapter" will be about summerset isles.
We already know that there will be a new guild (Psijic) with a new associated skill line
We already know there will be jewelry crafting
We already know there will NOT be spellcrafting
And we can safely guess that there will be a new trial.

Unless they SHOW us tonight how the things will actually look like, and provide many details (which I doubt), there isn't much to "hype" for since we (regular, committed players) already know what Rich will announce.
I will be hyped when the thing comes on PTS (hopefully next week). Not for tonight's announcement - which I'll watch anyway, but with low expectations.

You seem to "know" an awful lot on something that has yet to be confirmed. Are you likely right? I don't know!

Well, you gotta admit that I was... quite right

Sortiarius

Is there any different perks for ordering the Summerset Physical Collector's Edition from different vendors?

santialonso

@ZOS_GinaBruno If I preorder the physical Collector Edition in a retail store, I will receive the Nightmare Senche Mount too? Or it's only for digital preorders?

moonio

Well done on the Architecture...

BigBadVolk

PTS when?
