Dragonhold DLC - Mini Trial / 4 Man Arena / Performance Fixes?

bharathitman

As of now, there is no information about the group content that will be added along with the Q4 DLC. With CwC we got the Asylum Sanctorium, with Murkmire we got BRP.
Do you guys think we will get a mini trial or an arena with Dragonhold or do you think ZOS will finally focus on overdue items such as
1) Re-tooling of the original 4 classes (more stamina morphs, clear separation of DD,Tanking & Healing skill lines)
2) Client side performance updates (this is more or less confirmed for the Q4 release)
3) QoL updates
4) Server side PvP Performance upgrades
5) CP system revamp

Mini Trial is most important to get other fixes and improvements shall follow overtime!

You'll get 30 more quests and 2 new bugs, thats enough

How about something PvP related for once since Morrowind? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Seriously it is getting old. PvP has not gotten any true new content since Morrowind, nobody cares about a new game mode or map for BGs when they are inherently flawed. Please bring in Ranked 3v3 arenas like EVERY OTHER MMO ALREADY HAS.

Well they described Pellitine as a "lawless wasteland", so maybe it's a PvP/PvE zone without guards ...

But honestly I don't expect anything else besides the CP system revamp.

I hope they will re-do groupfinder entirely.
And add arenas & trials group finder support. It super wied that it is still not in the game.

Solid chance that we see the LFG Tool revamp they spoke about in the Q4 update.

I’d love a new solo arena but, failing that, a mini-trial would be good with me. Would like it not to be dragon related however. I have a feeling after the dungeons and Q4 I will be well and truly done with dragons for a while.

I think a new type of content that would be nifty and refreshing would be a duo arena. A two person arena would be pretty cool and unique in my opinion.

Duo arena would be awesome, and dungeon scaling to number of players

I agree in the abstract but would depend how it is implemented. It would need to require some degree of selflessness to encourage teamwork rather than just burning. Could encourage an interesting dynamic where there is a tank/healer hybrid and a DD and other interesting pairings. With most of the content, it could just become a burnfest that challenges little other than rotation.

In last year's E3 announcement for Murkmire, it already mentioned the 4-man trial. So if there was anything else to this DLC, I guess they would have already said so.

As a Zone DLC, the region of Southern Elsweyr will be filled with new quests, Delves, World Bosses, and, of course, Dragon Hunt events, too.

Similar to previous DLC zones, Murkmire will feature a brand new area to explore, an exciting story line, new World Bosses and Delves, and a brand-new group arena (with its own leaderboard).

I hope we get some type of arena or trial, even if it is mini. IMO CWC would have been pretty empty without vAS, and Murkmire would have been lacking without vBRP (was somewhat lacking even with this short, repetitive arena which rewards nothing worthwhile).

surprise me a lot if it don't have an arena or mini trial as the last two had it making it pretty much an standard.

Yes they could compensate by making the dlc zone large with more quests. But still and QoL stuff like an new group finder don't really count.

LonePirate

The Q4 DLC is always compressed for time as it hits the PTS in September for a release in late October or early November. Look for a mini-trial and an QoL update, most likely the LFG overhaul. The CP fixes or overhaul will not happen until next year’s chapter so that there is plenty of time to review it (streamers and class reps going to ZOS) and promote it.

TBH I'd prefer a larger zone with no group content to a small zone with another Black Rose Prison that nobody plays.

I play it and its an engaging content (hard) very rewarding at the moment with the motif prices. Its quite bugged at the moment tho.

Dual arenas or different models in each zone.

I want another arena or 6 man dungeon. So are my dreams.

TheNightflame

a 6 man arena would be great. you can do so much more in terms of mechanics and having a healer much outweighs a 5th dps.

I just hope we get some form instanced group pve content.

@ZOS_Finn when can we hear and see more about the dungeons

laissezfaire

2 man or 6 man trial would be fun and different.

Surprised we haven’t seen any 6 man content TBH. Seems like a lot of mechanics are based around groups of 6. Combat prayer hits 6, Barrier hits 6, Purge hits 6 (all frustrating in a group of 12).

Duo content would also be interesting, but I think I’d rather just stick with more 12 man content so we could run it with established trials groups and not have to split into multiple subgroups. That’s one of the reasons that BRP and DSA are so unpopular. They’re too much of a chore for most dungeon groups, and trial groups don’t like having to split into 3 to complete these during scheduled raid times.

Only if the arena offers an actually useful weapon most brp weps aren'tworth squat to use
