Will you Pre-Purchase Elsweyr?

Conduit0✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yes, Because...While I'm normally all for the "never pre-order" camp, this isn't a new game, its an expansion to a game that I already play and I don't see my self quitting any time in the near future, so I might as well buy it now.1 -
Ertosi✭✭✭✭✭
✭No, Because...No because I'm not buying into this year's hype train. I want to see new Features, not hype.
I'm not interested in a new class, this chapter has shown nothing that'll benefit my existing characters, and the zone will be exactly the same for me if I wait until it goes on sale.
I actually did the opposite of most and unsubbed due to the apparent lack of new upcoming features and systems that my current characters can use. Where's a new crafting system, like Transmutation of 2017 and Jewelrycrafting of 2018? Where's a big new system like the Player Housing System of 2017 and Outfitting system of 2018? There's nothing of that caliber on the road map for this year. I'm amazed how we're given less real content each year, while we're told its more and people buy the spin. Don't get me wrong, I still love the game, but my wallet is closed to them until I start seeing new content again that actually affects my current roster of characters.PC NA @Ertosi♠♦ My Team ♥♣

No new crafting or game systems for 2019? "Season of the Dragon" would be better named "The Year of no New Major Features"

✭✭Depends on if I can get the dragon bone style another way. If yes, definitely not pre-ordering, so I can get it for half the price from g2a2013

Kalgert✭✭✭✭✭No, Because...There used to be a time where I'd jump on the gravy train of buying the expansion early (Usually the Collector Edition because I like me some fancy goodies).
But considering I haven't played the game properly for... Let's say a very long time now, I doubt there is gonna be anything around to really draw me in to play it.
My girlfriend doesn't like the game as much, the instanced PvE is complete *** out of all the possible MMOs out there (Being outclassed by someone just spamming one AoE ability while I work my fingers to the bone isn't what I would consider a fun time), and I just started feeling less inclined to spend money on things, being unemployed and all.
So I think it is fair to say... No, I won't be pre-ordering, and I doubt I will want to anytime soon.2 -
Elsonso✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes, Because...Chapters have not ended up being a disappointment, so I have no reservation about pre-ordering them.0 -
MasterSpatula✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes, Because...The story and zone look like a lot of fun, and the gameplay/combat teams haven't completely ruined their side yet, so I'm still on board.
Eventually, with their track record, Gameplay/Combat will have strip-mined all the joy from gameplay, and then I will stop paying for new content. But it is not this day.Edited by MasterSpatula on January 17, 2019 1:01AM"A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle0 -

give us money maybe we will think of something later...MAYBE if this doesnt sum up what bethesda has been doing for the past year i dont know what wil.2 -
wenchmore420b14_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭No, Because...Where is the "other" option? I didn't because I was hoping for a physical collector's edition. Since there isn't one, not sure if I want to or not. Quite pricey. Price won't change if I buy now or later. What is the benefit of pre ordering anyways? Getting a mount now? For me that is not good enough to give Zenimax or I should say Bethesda (publishing) $60.
I am conflicted right now. I am liking ESO a lot again. On the other hand, I don't like Zenimax how they handle some things. I really hate how Bethesda (publishing) is acting and behaves and don't want to support them.
Right now, I am in the camp on how Zenimax and Bethesda have very buggy games takes too long to fix, and then on top of it all, says their games are worthless compared to their "stores" and keep asking for money when they can't even fix their games. "Yes we know our games don't 'just work' but please, keep buying and spending your money on things you never own and we let you use and play with".
So I am conflicted. On one hand I want to support the great work that is being done, but on the other hand I don't want to condone shady business practices that Zenimax and Bethesda do.
Who knows, maybe a message was sent with Fallout 76, we can do the same here and say we will not take it anymore. At least by not pre ordering do we accept your business practices.
After all, waiting a year, Elswyr will be free on ESO+.
Plus I bet you 3 gold and a Fishy Stick that all the "PRE-PURCHASE REWARDS" will be in Crown Store by years end.
And BOOOO on you Zo$ with no Physical CE Editions.Drakon Koryn~Oryndill, Rogue~Mage,- CP ~Doesn't matter any more

That is unfortunate, but I view it as a way to get some scrubs to do some menial labor , which will result in Tharn screwing everything up, and I will have to fix it later.
The 3Q dungeons worry me more than the 1Q dungeons, but at least the finale is a zone DLC.0 -
fgoron2000✭✭✭✭No, Because...I preordered Summerset mostly because I liked bonus senche mount and the costume. But I don't like bonus horse mount and not really interested in costume for Elsweyr The only thing which might change is when 20th of May is very close and I can become too anxious about "I could have extra 14 days of horse training for my necromancers already done by the 4th of June"
I hope to stay strong though.
wow...i must need more coffee, and a lot of it...i read your 2nd sentence as "...bonus horse meat..."...hehehe

Arrodisia✭✭✭✭✭No, Because...No.
I was planning to stay subbed and buy all expansions as I always do until I saw that we'd be paying for our own race changes due to their poor balancing from day one. Those race tokens will cost people with multiple chars to pay more than the expansion and sub together. They're basically saying. ok you're paying sub and buying dlcs and expansions to pay for services which include balancing amongst others, but now pay for the changes to balancing coming within these expansions,....... as well due to our (ZOS) poor balancing imho. I think not. then if we mention that performance on high end PC's is not as good as it should be. That seals the decision. So no I agree with the majority here and I can't in good conscience support this gut shot to the player base.Edited by Arrodisia on January 17, 2019 3:58PM0 -

not really.History, like a human being, is thirsty when it wakes from its slumber…History wants to drink up an enormous amount of blood. And even if history has tired of drinking blood, that’s only in regards to the amount. But what about quality? The larger the sacrifice is, the more delighted the cruel gods will be.0
