    So... E3 then? :(

    I can't find a sad enough looking emote for my feels.

    Yeah E3 is basically the last hope for this. I mean what are they working on? 2019 brings Necromancer class and that was it for new mechanics. That would be less than in any year before that.

    And without something else big announced at E3 this is going to be their weakest year yet despite all the hype. Besides the Necromancer, they're just riding on "story, story, story" which should always be there and isn't a feature.

    Speaking of comparing this year's features to the last two years, I posted this over on the Post-Show Questions thread:

    Are there any new types of crafting or game systems coming this year?

    Really, the only big thing new thing shown was a new class, but we've gotten a new class or skill line each of the last two years as well. We've got a great new region coming, but again, same as the last two years.

    Are there going to be any new systems this year? And UI tweaks to the region map and guild traders are nice, but aren't big enough to consider a new system.

    E3 is generally a place where you need to bring something huge and exciting (although ESO usually just kind of awkwardly walks in, waves, and acts like they don't belong there), but they still want to keep it a big secret, so I'm hoping these quarters include something as crazy and interesting as Spellcrafting. But now that we've seen more information about the Chapter, does anything really point to Spellcrafting anymore? I don't know if it does :confused:

    I agree completely. I like what they are offering (namely, the Dragons burning down Tamriel), but it reminds me a lot of Vvardenfell, where, for every class but the Warden (Necromancer), there will be no new combat mechanics to play with, making the content a lot less fun than it could be.

    But at least we also got Player Housing and Transmutation in the same year as Wardens, so even if you didn't care for a new class, at least you had a new crafting option all characters and could craft in your new homes. It all adds up to why this year is looking so much weaker so far.

    Trying to maximize their Money/Work ratio.

    This was seriously so much hype for so little actual output.

    Honestly yes. They knew there would be no other way a large portion of their fan base would interpret those tablets.
