Is Greymoor Worth it my Thoughts.

Thevampirenight

From Pts, I've seen the zone. I've not explored all of it, and I only seen the Greymoor Caverns Portion of Black Reach.
Is it worth it? I would say yes, here is why.
Greymoor isn't just a copy of Tes 5, Solitude was done to where it closely resembles how it was in Tes 5, However the rest of the zone seems far more unique to the time period it is in and even seems like it is more populated with houses and other stuff that was not there in Tes 5. Morthal very well done, Inn even looks better then Tes 5 and its not a copy of that inn. Its much bigger. Structures are not the same even.
You actually feel as if this is a differant time period in Skyrim's History.
It does not feel like Tes 5 Skyrim. But a Skyrim Unique to Eso and told in an Eso prospective.
As for the Story, the two quests I did, they were very interesting and very well put together quests and they really put their heart into those quests and I really do think that adds replay-ability to them.
I've not done the main storyline, i've been saving that for Live.

Another thing that makes Greymoor worth it, is they use lore from Vanilla Content and this is pure Eso Lore. Even the Vampire Lord Antagonist comes from Lore introduced in Vanilla Eso. So this is a unique Eso Story using existing lore from Eso. That is what makes it so unique and that is another reason I recommend buying the chapter. They are expanding on the Lore from Eso and this is lore unique to areas of High Rock and Hammerfell so I really do recommend doing a Daggerfall Covenant playthrough before doing Greymoor. If you have not done a Daggerfall Covenant play through I do recommend it so you can understand the elements in Greymoor.

So is it worth it, yes and is it worth 40 dollars. I think it is and I do think it was worth the money invested for the chapter.

Not until you see people posting on the forum "thank you for fixing the lag issues". That's when it will be worth it to invest more money into ESO.

Nice. I'm glad to,hear that the lore is interesting and the quests are good!

I'm still going to wait and buy it on sale because I can't quite justify spending the same price as Elsweyr and Morrowind for a chapter that makes less gameplay changes than Summerset.

Nothing in this game is worth using money on. Its a cosmetic chaos with unplayable, bugged and laggy content.

My question was whether I should buy the normal edition or the collector's edition. After having seen that the Orb of Magnus is indeed just a silly animation and no vampire concealing memento, I decided to purchase the standard edition.

I also think it is worth the base price from what I have experienced thus far. The treasure hunting system is a big point for me.

The Jarls outfit is worth the collectors edition by itself.
Just my opinion.

So will you be streaking around in the pve zones now instead of the IC ?

I'm also loving the new chapter on PTS. Have done only a small amount of questing and exploring, and this morning when the live servers went down for maintenance I switched to PTS to create a new character, play through the tutorial, explore a little, quest a little, and grab the free room at the inn just before the PTS went down for maintenance. Looking forward to buying it and playing it for real.

I refuse to buy it because of the treasure system being added. (They nerfed a lot of monster sets to push sales through it) plus to top it off they still refuse to fix bugs from launch they could have done that rather than introduce something else yet again. (He'll moves don't even work in PVP/pve) and we should be buying a dlc with more bugs/lag?

Well when you compare it to other MMOs and what their expansions offer and how much it costs compared to ESO you dont exactly get that much value of the money you spent sadly.

JanTanhide

Not anymore. Too many problems in the game to buy anything atm. And as I write this all servers across all platforms have login issues. Many cannot login at all including me on both PC NA and PC EU servers.

svartorn

Greymoor will probably be worth the $40.

Now will the crown store exclusive home be worth 18,000 crowns? Not a chance.

Destai

For me, getting Greymoor depends on how effective the next patch is in resolving these issues everyone's facing. There's simply no excuse for these issues at this point, and I can't in good faith buy more content when the existing content is riddled with problems.

I always found it hilarious that if you look at a WoW expansion, all the dungeons are contained within it. In ESO, there's two dungeon DLCs, both with collector's editions, a chapter with collector's editions, and then another zone dlc.Why the blazes isn't that all one DLC?

This ^^ Sadly enough my thoughts exactly

Hans_58

TESS said this will be a big area so I thought this will be the size of Skyrim tess5 ak the open space available, but you better not run in this small sized nuttshell or you will be outside. So it will be West Skyrim, Eastwest Skyrim, West West Skyrim Soutth West Skyrim etc all small portions of the original Skyrim and each $40. Just like Elweyr and Dragonhold

Guys, don' t invest in this dying game...

Yep no promo/payment for Greymoor unless issues are fixed before hand.

AKA : Game promotion, really feeling this and you should make new accounts to be less obvious

Nevasca

You really think it's worth it's price? If we are talking strictly about questing (aka story), I could easily buy another 4 games on full price and have a greater experience overall.

I won't buy any chapter on release until they reduce the abusive prices. Atm I always wait for them to get into the crown store, then I buy it with gold, and I will probably still do that with this chapter.

I actually always pve'd more than I do pvp.
Pvp is mainly a main to earn money, hence I go to the Imperial City.

It's sad to see on a positive post so many people saying that this person made à poor choice...

You don't have to invalidate the OP opinion because you don't feel the same.

Agree to disagree guys

ESTyll13

Not this time !!!

woufff

This isn't about choice or story content, lore or beautiful maps.

This is about a game which is -at best- only playable with serious difficulties. The best content does not help if the game is not playable and believe me, I'm very sad about that.

It is such a pity

theyancey

It is a year long event so, yeah, definitely worth my pre purchase

I feel the same but remain optimistic. It's right the overland content is like usual you can do everything, but it's really the End-Game content (Trials or PvP in my opinion) that are very difficult to complete or unplayable actually ...

But for new player they may not encounter major issue until they reach that kind of content. So it's a difficult time for the player and the dev that are trying (i really believe it) to fix the issues ...

Well I'm hopeful that their performance updates will help once they get them all done.
Still this thread is not about performance is about the quality of the content.
For the quality it is worth it.
Though hopefully they can put the same quality in fixing the performance.

Cireous

As critical as I might be of some things, I'm not gonna lie, I haven't been able to stop logging into the PTS since it was unleashed, and the only thing I have been doing is exploring. Even now, I am still stumbling across off-the-beaten path scenes and cabins that peak my interest. I can't wait to tie this all together with the questing experience once it goes live.

Cireous

I mean, this view... all it needs is neat perfection and I am home.
Imagine snow flurries and whistling wind, birds flying all around, and the dead silence between.

Luckylancer

Perfprmance issues and bad bussines practices (adding OP stuff, nerfing old stuff) made me shy away from purchasing it.

Same happened with summerset and elsewheyr too. Morrowind wasnt like that.
