Will you Pre-Purchase Elsweyr?

    I bought Morrowind on a discount and I felt I was ripped off but at least it was half price so it didn't hurt that bad. I bought Summerset on the same day it was released and after like 2 hours I felt ripped off.
    I always think about how buying games early or pre-purchasing them is risky because you're putting faith on human error and the very few times I've done it I've been proven right.

    TL;DR: Games and game content is being released half-baked basically 100% of the time (personal experience).

    I'm curious why do people purchase something so far in advance though? I could understand in the past when supply could be limited, but it's pretty much all digital now and supply is infinite, so why not keep the money in your bank for the next couple of months and just buy/pre order the day before or week before?

    Dragons, man. Dragons.

    My heart does this flutter every time I see dovah or dragon mentioned anywhere in the game. As long as if is handled carefully, I'm excited to immerse myself into the story of Elsweyr.

    I want to, but I am a little wary because it seems more pricy than what we're getting.
    Don't get me wrong I love khajiits and always wanted to go, but I feel a new land and a class isn't worth 40 bucks, more like a 30 dollar chapter. So I might wait until it goes on sale, which will be a first as I preordered the last two chapters.

    I don't understand pre-purchasing things; first you don't know what you are buying beyond promotion, second since it's not a build contract, the product will come to market and you can buy it then without providing your vendor with a short duration interest free loan, money that you might be using in say your Robbin Hood account to score a few ten-baggers on daily Amazon calls. But if it makes you feel good, like giving to the United Way, then reinforce your vendor's perceived position as a charity rather than a demand driven producer of a quality product.

    Yes, I purchased it last night with a discount on GMG. However due to the removal of character progression and the introduction of forced main game grouping I also took my 6 month sub off auto renew. I like RPGs. I have no interest in action-adventure games, particularly groupy ones.

    I love the story lines in ESO, plus dragons, plus elsywer. I do worry about race passive changes and also balancing with a new class.

    Last i was also a little disappointed about the performance discussion in the after show. I was really excited they had a talking point for performance listed. But basically they said the same thing they do every year "Its harder then you think and when we have time we will look at it." Like really this has been on going for years

    Necromancers (my fav class EVER) and Dragons (my fav creatures EVER). I also like what I see and so far I've not been disappointed with new content. In fact, just pre-purchased about ten minutes ago and my sub is up in four days and I changed it to the one year option :smiley:

    Yup. Pre-ordered it right away. I really like the additions to the game, and know I will be playing it. Only got the Standard edition though. Might upgrade down the road if I feel like i'm missing out on anything.

    On console. You can’t buy it without the bundle, at least when I checked yesterday it said it’s not sold separately.

    I only pre-order physical CE versions of games. I'll grab my digital code on day one from whichever legit reseller has it cheapest. If that bothers ZOS, maybe they can reconsider a physical CE.

    Xbox. I’ll see if they have it now. Yesterday I couldn’t find a nonbundle option even when I clicked on the basic upgrade.

    I will obtain the chapter at some point most definitely, because I want to do the story content. But none of the preorder bonuses entice me in the least, and it’s hard to be excited about Necromancer after jewelrycrafting was such a burn. So I’ll probably wait for confirmation that the Necromancer is good and for a sale.

    Why would I ever pre purchase this far in advance? If I were to prepurchase it would be a couple hours before it goes live and even then, I don't really care about the bonuses. I'm not giving them money without fully knowing what the update is bringing.
