Am I correct in thinking we are due a system addition with Q4 DLC?

So in past years we have gotten a major system update outside of chapter. I'm thinking housing, jewlery crafting, outfit system etc.
So am I right in thinking that there is a major system addition due with the Q4 dlc later this year?
If so, I wonder what it could be?

    Q4 should be first stage performance fixes, but iirc they're all behind the scenes. I'd be happy with a new solo arena, or perhaps something related to the future of the alliance war.

    yeah but system updates usually included things that were "missing" and "requested" - the only thing i think people are asking for now is performance improvements which were already announced...

    I think this year’s “system” will be the overhauled LFG/ Activity Finder. We still don’t have any new info on that (nor have I heard anything I can share with you on the matter, sorry).

    They had a test of the new Activity Finder a few weeks ago on the pts. But heard nothing since then.
    Started in 2016. 13 chars and I still haven't finished the mainquest.

    I think people are asking for and expecting countless UI improvements, added functionalities (guild tools, mail, etc.) . A new weapon and associated skill line is also long overdue. Of course, none of this matters as long as the performance issues aren't fixed, but I think people's expectations go beyond performance.

    I would like to see an expansion of the justice system to include more than just the guards getting mad you, possibly jail with breaking out.

    It would also be nice if DB and TG radiants had more interesting things than "go here and kill/pocket some random townspeople."

    Homestead was Q1, Jewelry Crafting was Q2 (and was part of the Summerset chapter).

    We get a couple of QoL updates every quarter.

    There should be one but I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’m fine if we don’t get any in Q4 when Spellcrafting is the main feature of the next Chapter.

    Q4 2019: UPDATE 24
    Memory management overhaul
    Fundamental changes to how we handle memory use in ESO to reduce memory fragmentation
    User Experience: Greatly improved stability (i.e., less crashing / dashboarding), especially on base consoles, as well as potential minor performance improvement
    Behind-the-scenes combat ability improvements phase 1
    This is the first of an ongoing initiative to rewrite some of the more consumptive combat abilities to lessen server load
    User Experience: This is the first of many behind-the-scenes combat optimizations and may not have a huge impact, but over time this will lessen the server load and allow smoother and more responsive combat with larger groups
    Complete re-write of the Looking for Group system
    Ground-up rewrite of how the system handles queues of people in both dungeons and battlegrounds—focused on reliability and speed, especially under load
    User Experience: The LFG systems work as expected, even under heavy load

    They said each chapter would include either a new class or new system. Guess what we got in Elsweyr.

    Aside from all of the quality of life issues that they are working on, it might be nice to see a few of these things:

    - banking assistant in home allows guild activities
    - merchant assistant in home can do repairs
    - some kind of gardening system where we can have nodes in our homes
    - fishing nodes in homes
    - in home portal so I can just port somewhere from my home instead of getting a loading screen to run outside and use the nearest portal out there.

    Some of you may get sick of me listing the same things over the last 5 years, but hey, needs are needs.

    I guess you must be new here.

    OP is referring to a One Tamriel, Homestead, or just flat out mega patch for Q4.

    Keep your crown *** out of discussion, if they tie more junk without QoL, the game will make no progress.

    Yeah and previous chapter had both. Plus the DLCs offered a new feature as well. Elsweyr only had Necromancers and not implementing any other feature/system this years means we are down to 1 new thing per year instead of 2/3 we were used to.

    Previous chapter (Summerset) only had a new system, Jewelry Crafting - there was no new class. Morrowind, however, did have both - Warden and Battlegrounds.

    While they may have said that each new chapter would have a new system or class, I don't recall them saying that each update would have a new system. And, since they are focusing now on performance, I think if that's all we get over the next few updates, in addition to the usual DLC, then I'm fine with that. I'd much rather the game run better than get some new feature in a game that's not running well.

    I am against any system addition as they usually just half ass a decent idea and never emerge it. Just look at CP . It's been literally untouched for 3 years plus other then here is more points that dont matter after 340 . Any type of emergent game play left with konkel and sage.
