I like the setting too. I wonder if Zos will use more sombre characters and not happy go lucky crap.
But at this stage too litle too late. A lot of players are not interested at all.

Having said all this, I dont see ESO even declining. They have found their player base. They have to keep pretending that their care for performance and PvP/endgame, but they dont have to actually care.
It's just not a game for mmorpg players.

That's true, the game has a stable, dedicated base, no matter what happens. That being said, Zos is maybe getting cocky, maybe ignorant, maybe apathetic. This is a big year for MMO's; WoW has its own expansion coming out, with their own take on gothic vampires. GW2 has a pseudo expansion releasing with Norse and Lovecraftian themes. And New Worlds is releasing in the same month as Greymoor, assuming it does not get pushed back. Even if it flops, it will exist in the market for a few months, adding to competition for the wandering, casual MMO gamer. All the aforementioned MMOs have their own list of issues, but they're all going to be fighting in the genre this year.

But, they do seem to care about the performance problems. To say otherwise is just an attempt to perpetuate the negative. They have their roadmap, and they are progressing down that map. If they succeed, as I think they want to, then it gets harder to perpetuate that and people will have to find something new to complain about. Should not be hard. If they do not succeed, then skepticism was justified. Based on what they have been doing, and what I have observed, I think that they do care and things are starting to turn around. I am giving them this and supporting them, mainly because perpetuating the negative assumptions that they not is pointless.

Maybe they should have cared more three years ago, but they seem to care more now, and that is a good thing.

In any case, all of this backend stuff that they are working on really allows me to focus on upcoming content. What we are getting. That is why I am hyped about what is coming. I think being mired in a droll negative mood because I have to poke them all the time about performance, cannot bring myself to believing that they care and are doing things about it, or am just so focused on my favorite feature that is not being delivered, is just unhealthy.

Out of the two gaming related announcements that have happened on Thursday (ESO and Super Smash Bros.) I'm somehow more excited about Byleth for Smash than all the (subjectively) boring stuff ZOS has announced for Greymoor (all three big "new" things Skyrim/Blackreach, vampries and antiquities are massive misses for me). And I don't even play Smash.

Also Nintendo had the courtesy to record at least mildly amusing professionally made video for the announcement instead of what looked like an amateurish livestream of belated corporate New Year's party with half-drunk devs.

I am yet to be disappointed by a chapter. They have all been great.
Morrowind was so nostalgic and atmospheric.
Summerset was beautiful and the quests were so intense
Elseweyr combined the best of those two but also DRAGONS.

Dragon fights are a challenging

We are basically still playing the same thing content wise since launch. The classes seriously needed to be expanded. They are stale and thematically unsatisfying as we have little variety to choose within thier themes and all we get is treasure hunting? It just feels really lazy to me and not putting much thought into how the game feels for players

Can't help it. I enjoyed the CGI trailer too much.

Edit: I'm not excited about Blackreach being a big part of map 'size'. I may be a knuckle dragging caveman, but I prefer Rock Shelters and Glacier Caves to giant humid caverns

They have plenty of classes. Let's get them to use the ones that they have, first. Necromancer was the first class that was significantly apart from the rest of them, and even that separation is pretty small. They have five other classes to do that with.

Not hyped despite wanting vampires and Skyrim, but everything surrounding that is underwhelming. ZOS continues to play too safe.

• Nothing was done to improve the combat: Lack of new weapons, mounted combat or animations/sound design overhaul (arbitrary number adjustments and nerfing won't cut it)
• Overland is far too easy and I find it difficult to be excited to go through the quests when enemies die halfway through by first bar, I don't even need to rotate.
• Meaningful choices would be nice, if this expansion has a diverging questline with separate factions it'd be a welcome change but it'll probably be another linear story with linear dialogue options hardly feels like an RPG.
• Everything has become far too cookie cutter we know exactly what to expect with each DLC/Chapter. This game needs to change things up.

Almost 70% of the players are not happy with the new Chapter.

Cuz it is very empty and YES IT IS.

No new Class
No new Weapon
No new skills
No CP balance
No Zone Leveling still they are very same and easy
No Rework on useless many many many Items


JUST performance updates. This is already what they have to do. It is not something that we pay for a new chapter.
And even I don't know if it is really an upgrade or not... Zos never show that they are good at patching and properly working game.


It was very disappointing... And I don't know if they are aware that %70 of the players are not happy

Yeah the general consensus is underwhelming, the chapter seems really overpriced for what we're getting. Antiquities seem to be the big selling point of the chapter but based of the announcement it sounds very much like a copy & paste of WoW Archaeology.

Go to random dig site, play mini games, loot items, rinse & repeat. I'm struggling to see how this chapter is going to hold down anyone who takes this game seriously. Literally nothing groundbreaking about it and it's hard to be excited over nothing.

I think Hyped is a bad word for the poll. You get to be my age, you don't get hyped over much. (Maybe a lottery win, but they got those stupid - gotta buy a ticket - rules ) So, I don't think 'Don't care' is a bad description as well. I do care. I like the fact that they are bringing out this new stuff. I don't think I would call it 'hyped'. But I'm glad to see it.

Really. I am having no problem finding people that are interested in Greymoor, and there is quite a bit of interest about Antiquities. There are places that seem to be driven by an anti-Greymoor agenda, like here, but it is easy enough to find excitement, elsewhere.

After last year I just can't get hyped for it. Not unless/until we get the promised performance fixes and they stop overhauling abilities and crap every three months. Until the ridiculous lag goes away and the same build remains viable for more than one patch I just can't get excited.

There's only 1 thing I'm looking forward to and that is the Vampire rework and visiting Skyrim again. That's it. And that's not much for a chapter since the vamp rework is being added to base game.

This new Antiquities system is just not for me. I am not into running all over the map for trinkets and such. Not my cup of tea. I'll probably do it on one character for the house furnishings and that's it.

The 2 new up coming dungeons have me concerned. I recall hearing a dev say these will be harder than the other dlc dungeons. If that's true then a large portion of the player base will avoid going in there especially on vet. I'm a main tank and I live in those dlc dungeons. Sad part is most people avoid them or instantly quit or log out at the first wipe.

I'm hoping that the lack of content is due to the devs spending most of their time/energy/ and resources trying to fix the game. At least that's what I'm hoping.

I hate dlc dungeons. And I can complete them just fine. I just dont have the time to sit in the same dungeon for 1-2hours. Or thestamina to watch team mates that cant do it cause us to fail over and over.

I dont understand why they give half the year to dungeon content. Those players certainly are not the majority or paying to keep the game running lile cosmetic hogs and housing buffs (like me)

Why keep making stuff harder and harder especially when no one likes or does them?

ZOS and ESO should feel lucky that CD PROJECT RED decided to push Cyberpunk 2077 to relase a few months later than original because they would have had to compete with another game in the first half. There are still several MMOs releasing this year. If performance stays as bad as now, they should really be afraid that the cash cow is going to go to greener pastures.

If you think about all the games that have actually come out since April 2014, and considering statements like the one above, one would think that ESO is simply a monster that chews up other games and spits them out. CD PROJEKT RED is probably afraid to release Cyberpunk 2077 for fear ESO will do the same to it.

I think you are missing the point, although admittedly, I made it hard. There have been many ESO-killer games over the years, and most of them are ESO-killers because someone does not like what ZOS is doing, or not doing, with ESO. Obviously, ESO is still here. Maybe ESO killed them?

Point is... The ESO-killers never end up being ESO-killers. There is plenty of room in the world for both ESO and Cyberpunk 2077. I intend to play it, myself, and that has no bearing on ESO, at all.

An ESO killer would have to be a single player mmo fantasy game. You can't say a single player game based on steam punk would be an ESO killer, different genres.

However, I would say no mmo can kill another. ESO is still in the top, but we have crappy architecture, maybe ESO kill is ESO itself

Hardly eso killer. I said "compete" not kill. The competition is obviously budgetary. ESO relies on continues cash-flow from all crown store and eso plus sales. People who are fed up with the game and see a better alternative are not as comitted and won't spend the same amount of money that they used to.

The only way ESO can retain it's current loyal playerbase is by having a game that works. Little by little, however, they're alienating people from one platform. What do you think will happen when The Last of Us 2 releases in May? Some people, who potentially are regular spenders will move on for some time if nothing changes with performance.

I'm speaking purely from console point of view as the game on PS4 is at times almost unplayable.

It is pretty clear that the intent of the comment was that Cyberpunk 2077 was going to hurt ESO (that is pretty much what an ESO-Killer is)
