Damn I wish it's a full fledged Fallout MMO. But that chances of that happening is 0% lol

Fallout needs like 10 years to recover from what Bethesda has done with it since Fallout 4.

They have to prepare for the inevitable release of TES 6. Once it drops, a great many player will leave (some, temporarily) to play. Since ESO's revenue is based largely on the crown store, I suspect that revenues will plunge for a few months after TES 6's release. ZOS's new, non-TES game will make up for that.

I'm curious to see how ZOS will do with a non-TES game. I have a feeling that most of ESO's succes is due to the franchise and a lot of players wouldn't be here if the game wasn't set in the Elder Scrolls universe.

True. I didn't knew elder scrolls universe before skyrim. I had never paid for a mmo on my whole life, and just because I loved skyrim I started paying for ESO.

Yeah the new game is just Crown Crates, with worse RNG

What bugs/bothers me most with the article is how many times "like" is used in the interview. Makes my teeth itch.

Other than that I'm good. If all goes well the new game will be out just as I am ready to set this game aside.

I just hope we have to buy everything even food in game with real money instead of crowns. No earning it the old fashioned way......

Sarcasm....

Well, they've certainly been "killing it" with the nerfs!

I doubt it will be a MMO (as we know them) since they seem to cost too much and they are not that popular now, sadly. I just hope is something other than just pure pew pew or a survival/battle royale thing. And really want a scifi one!

Anyway, ZoS is good in my book so far, so I'm looking forward to more news.

Cool, so it's pretty much comfirmed that ESO will be degraded into "Milking"-status in near future.

They've been in MILK mode since game went b2p.

And so they're making the same mistake as Blizzard made with World of Warcraft...take a game which a lot of players enjoyed, and shift the developers to a different project that may or may not work out, and leave the game which your players enjoyed to rot.

I can tell you right now, Zeni's better off keeping most of their resources on ESO and not shift a bunch of development resources to this new game...while I understand you have to take risks, Zeni needs to learn from ActiBlizz's countless mistakes and not just commit the same errors...

Edit: Also, I fixed a spelling error for you.

The question would be: Are they working on another fantasy role playing mmo with pvp?

I doubt they are, so it's likely not something that directly competes with eso.

Hell, it could be a doom mmo.

Maybe a Fallout game where we can play with our friends?

You mean Fallout 76?

Fallout76 is more like Destiny. It's really not an mmo.

You couldn't pay me to touch their new game with a 10 foot pole.

As long as there's still a player base they wouldn't cut support, and ESO seems to have a strong follow. Even an ESO2 wouldn't have to spell the end as they could, and likely would, set it on an entirely different continent on Nirn so that anyone wanting to explore Tamriel online could only do it here.

I think the best example for them to follow would be how Square-Enix has handled the Final Fantasy franchise's MMOs. FFXIV has been out for about five years now and yet FFXI is still going at close to 20 years old, having ran a welcome back campaign this past fall, even hinting at new content earlier this year, even with talk of FFXVII already in the works as their next MMO.

So basically, don't worry, just keep playing.

I'd love to get my sci fi itch scratched A single-player non-open world party-based RPG with a decent story would be a dream!

HOPEFULLY, and this is a long shot wish that will probably not come true, but......

If ESO were to shut down, I hope they could somehow turn it into a single player game.
They could tune the dungeons to solo play, and make trials like vMA. Cyrodiil can become a solo experience, full of quests exploring the aftermath of the Three Banner War. (Not saying I want this for live mmo servers, but if it were to become a 100% solo single player game.)

And they could get it off the servers that have so many issues.

it's sad to think that ESO will be shut down for good some day, probably when i'm about to start having kids, so that works out for me actually.

But no. dev team making a new game does not mean the game will outshadow and ruin the previous one. Heck, look at Death Garden. that practically did the opposite, and made their first game playerbase even stronger.

Relax. A new game takes years to develop. If atm they are hiring, you won't see it (depending the kind of game) until 2024.
I do not believe ZOS would be making a COD or BF type game which takes 18 months to be done, so it will take time

Also on the article at no point said that ESO is getting killed.

You extrapolate that from your own imagination. However here we are in 2019 and remember many similar threads in this forum since May 2014 that the game is dying shortly!!!!! Either because some devs or desingers left, or some other sister company is making another game etc.

We will cross that bridge when time comes.

As someone who is interested in seeing ESO grow with new features and game systems, it's been painfully obvious that ESO has already slid into that status. 2019 's "Season of the Dragon" would be more aptly named "Season of Hype but little Substance." Yes, the game is getting a new class, but look back to 2017 where it got a new class AND 3 new crafting systems AND a new PVP Mode! There's been a yearly drop in significant new features since then:



I'm not saying Elsweyr isn't cool, it is. I am saying this year is lacking in extra substance. Morrowind and Summerset were cool, too, but they brought quite a bit more new features with them. Dragon's are just Dolmens3.0 and this whole push to try to force "an overarching story" as a feature only highlights the lack of new real features, especially when good stories have always been present in previous Chapters/DLCs and they've always had threads connecting them.

Look at what's been added this year with a critical eye; it's apparent that they've only met the bare minimum of expectations for this year's quarterly releases. They still might end up pulling a hail mary in this years last two quarters, but I'm not holding my breath for it. If you want to check out a more critical comparison, and look at it from a few different angles, I've got links in my sig.

Wrothgar alone has more content than Elsweyr and Wrothgar is a DLC. Why is Elsweyr a "chapter" again?

Wrothgar is still my favourite DLC (I don't call it Chapter 0 for nothing), but how does it have more content than Elsweyr? Summerset was certainly the weakest chapter, which is the reason it was also cheaper than both Morrowind and Elsweyr, and even that had about as much content as Wrothgar.

Different periods of eso. Wrothgar was in production at a time before eso had a yearly update cadence / plan. Zos knew they wanted to release more robust content similar to wrothgar in scale but early on everything was just "dlc".

Had wrothgar been released tomorrow, it would definitely be classified as a chapter (along with a skill line or class etc).
