Datamined "Chapter III" - The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr

Gronk

As long as Dragons eat all the catfolk it is good and will play well.

writing note to Dragons;

Dragon it is true the catpeople sticketh their noses into your business.But have hope for they are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!

Why else would dragons be at Catlands? DINNER TIME !!!

The info (which, let's all keep in mind is not official yet) says the next part of the story will unfold in the course of one year, so even if it's not making sense at first glance, there'll be a whole chapter and 2-3 DLC's worth of material to cover it. Keep calm and have some faith in ESO writers

NEW CLASS? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

ZOS, CHANGE IT! NEW SKILL LINE, PLEASE!

CLASS IS SO OUTDATED!

Lol why skill line? It would be much more difficult to manage and last chapter had soo many complaints due to single Psijic Skill Line.

Class pack with 3 skill line and lot of passives, we need class.

There are many types of players but two very distinctive ones are the "one main character players" (who maybe have more characters but he/she spends more then 90% ingame time with one character), and there the ones with many characters without a dedicated main.
The first is not interested in new class because they hvae their main since xy time, and they don't interested to start a new character, but would welcome a new skill line for their main, the later ones are more eager to make a new class character for new playsytle.

To have bigger support from the first group make class change tokken avaiable for a reasonable price (also 1 for a daily reward).

The second group doesn't have any more room for new characters because all their slots are filled with alts.
And even one new free slot wouldn't be enough, we'd need at least 4 (mag dd, stam dd, tank, healer) to satisfy our altaholism.

There goes what was left of lore and logic. Real Dragons in ESO, which never happened and which was confirmed by ZoS to never happen. And undead chilling in all major towns and social hubs.

Glad I'm not the only one that sees this. I mean eso has been playing fast and loose with the lore since inception, but this is truly jumping the shark and disregarding all lore entirely.

Lore...lore... Oh, come on! ZOS can make another lorebook which will talk about dragons and this will become a new lore. It's a game and not a real history.
Bring it on! All this stuff sounds too fun.

And this is exactly how cows and whales would comment. Which just confirms my original theory, that you would be very pleased by all of this.

Maybe they'll add high horses to the crown store just to cater to your false sense of self-righteousness over video game stories.

I agree. It's wrong to be a fan of established lore in any sort of media. With the passing of time and each new addition, everything from the past titles should be forgotten. It's why things like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Witcher, and many other various fantasy outlets failed so miserably. They laughably tried to make a progressive story with solid lore that didn't rewrite itself with each new addition.

Elder Scrolls is not sourced from books like LotR or Harry Potter. Instead, each new installment creates the canon. And like Star Wars, sometimes things get rewritten, or how stuff works might change for the sake of story. I'm not saying you have to like it when you notice inconsistencies, but you also can't expect the lore to be immutable.

Given the teaser, I expect this chapter to happen in some kind of pocket time line due to a dragon break so it won't effect the normal timeline of the main series. That sounds like a cheap gimmick, but also not out of character for a series that includes such things because it's an ongoing series of games with multiple endings and quest outcomes.

Can we get a new race too? All we have now are four. Yes FOUR. All the Humans are just different ethnicities of the same race. All Elves are just different ethnicities of the same race. Honestly it makes for boring race choices when they mostly all look the same.

How about playable Daedra? Have some break off from Oblivion. Give them customization that includes demon and insect aspects to make them look less like a plain human variant.

How would they even walk around town and interact with people though?

With about the same ease as the combat pet Daedra do now, or as the pet undead are probably going to wander around Alik'r desert. Not even mentioning all the strange non-combat pets, mounts, and the countless headless Hollowjack and various atronach incarnations of the Vestige.

I get what you're saying but a daedra, and obviously one of some power being a player character with class skills and completing great feats is a little different than a summoned and bound lesser daedra. But...then again, the masses have spoken. Lore is not to get in the way of anything. Playable Daedra it is!

So the new OP/ Broken P2W class will be Necromancer I guess...
Any one remember how PvP-wise Warden was broken in the first month after Morrowind chapter ? So if you do, get ready to either buy new class & have fun or make a break from PvP for 2 months....

Osteos

Dragons?

Hmmm, do you think they will be able to release this "OP / broken P2W" class in time to properly participate in the upcoming PvP event?

Khajiit has a nap for just three hours and this has to come out now?!

Can this one really be going home? Are the sands still warm?

Oh there will be trouble if the dragons have stolen all the beer or worse eaten all the fishies! Also they could have blotted out the moons or something really awful like that perhaps? But the beer … yes that worries this one most of all.

Necromancy - it does not appeal - but always a new passport in Tamriel comes with troubles of some kind to sort out.

Of course this one hopes for warm sands, bustling markets, endless beer and year round Fishmas. Dragons and zombies were not on the list but if this is the price that must be paid then bring on the Dragon zombies yes.

What should this one pack? What should she pack!!!

They can’t even balance 5 CLASSES. In endgame PvE score runs there is literally ONE CLASS PRESENT FOR DPS.

Another class will put this game on its deathbed.

Valamist

Hmm... I must admit, I did not think we would be going to the home of the Khajiit. Though we would be going... Elsweyr... Just hope this new story against ancient beasts does not Dragon... Play as a Necromancer? Over my dead body...

Elder Scrolls lore is definitely mutable. It isn't just ZOS that get accused of "rewriting" history.

I am hoping that ZOS does not use some "dragon break" thing. I will probably accept it, but will never praise their writing, again. It is a sign that they are out of ideas, and Elder Scrolls still has plenty of ideas left.

Now, some pocket realm of Oblivion... that is something interesting.

Pretty much. Never thought we would agree on something.
I never understood why new classes are added when the original ones are outdated and unbalanced still.

Well, I'm a self-professed whale - and so far I'm not a bit happy about it. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I've already had some issues with "lore" in this game - but since they set the game in a time where there wasn't a whole lot "codified as canon" previously, I've let it slide by me.

Don't think this is going to slide very well though.... and on top of that, it'll be an absolutely HUGE download I won't have the bw for, so I'll have to ask a friend to send me his install folder again.... *sigh*

Some cool stuff, was kinda hoping for a new weapons pack but necromancer class is cool. Seriously hope dragons don't play a major role as their presence breaks lore, I can kind of see how necromancers roaming the streets with undead minions would break lore so perhaps the minions would be non persistent

It's more difficult to balance classes.

The game needs horizontal progression.

I don't want to have to levl up a new character from Lvl 3 to 50 again, and I don't have any more slots.

In fact, all ESO classes should be extinguished and replaced with Skill Lines.

This is ESO, not WoW or FFXIV.

You do not want ESO to grow, it needs new class not simple skill line.

For end game players, game is dying!

Yep, it is unexpected. I thought that next chapter will be somewhere in Hamerfell (as TES 6 is supposed to take place there it makes sense that ZOS will try to cover this area ASAP so people will buy it - but I guess TES 6 is still years away and the have time). Also Argonians got only DCL, so naturally I assumed that Khajits will get DLC too... but an entire chapter ? Damn, I hope each race will have its own chapter eventually...
