What did you think about the new reveal?

Just curious - As someone who could not care less about solo players, it was pretty trash.

Another $100 book, solo will be even easier now. Kinda disappointed, not gonna lie. But 90% of chat loved it, so I guess they found their audience.

No way to justify this as a Chapter. This is not the content of Morrowind or Summerset!

This is going to be the first chapter that from what it looks like will add absolutely nothing to the game for me.

Those companions as the main and only new thing is really a dissapointment.

Doesn't seem like we are getting a new class or anything neat? Like, why.

I didn't exactly "hated" it but more ended up pretty disappointed. I was expecting a smaller chapter this year but that annoucement generated just 0 interest for me.

I already skipped pre-ordering Greymoor for the first time, but ended up buying it discounted to get Mythic items. This chapter I'll probably skip completely until it joins ESO+, if I'm even playing at that time (which I doubt).

I think the story will be fun, but this is more like a DLC and less like a Chapter from what they annouced so far.

I really didn't see anything that justified purchasing it.

'Hated' is too strong. But you had no other options. 'Disappointed' would have been more accurate for me.

Feature-wise, there is nothing I'm looking forward to. I'm not interested in companions, so that's it.

Blackwood is not news exactly, but I expected it to be far more Imperial than Argonian. Seems like 2 areas will be Argonian-based and only one Imperial. Murkmire wasn't very long ago, so I'm not interested in more of that. It also seems done dirty that Khajiit got a whole year of content to themselves, Dunmer got a whole Chapter and a DLC, High Elves and Nords got a whole Chapter but Imperials are forced to share their Chapter with Argonians, with more content for the latter.

The news of servers being updated was the best thing to come out of that announcement.

Absolutely agreed.

For me literally the only interesting thing in that chapter might be the new gear added with it and i dont need to buy the chapter for that since i can buy that from guildstores anyways.

I'm disappointed by the price. $40 on Steam for Blackwood? Its got the least extra features of any Chapter yet!

Companions not even worth the patch download... now lets see how they wont fix the game this year like they promised last and this year. All that no new systems you're not working better have a performance trade off...

Now that we've established you don't care about a bunch of your other fellow players and that you should utterly ignore everything players like me have to say... (thanks?)

... new story, zones, and lore are always a good thing. It's what makes Elder Scrolls what it is. If this game didn't have depth there, a lot of us wouldn't have bothered with it at all. The developers are well aware of this, I wager. That they specifically showcased the ability to choose your tutorial is a testimony to this. That news by itself was incredibly exciting. The rest? It's more of a wait and see. Greymoor was (understandably) rough around the edges and while chapter pre-orders are usually a no-brainer for me, the quality of Greymoor just wasn't there and I'm concerned that'll continue for Blackwood.

They said little about the companion feature, which has the potential to be very interesting and already looks to have way more depth to it than I was expecting. It also has the potential to be a horrendous un-fun grind, which this game has been guilty about manufacturing over the years. So again, a wait and see.

I don't hate it, but it feels disappointing. This will be the first year I don't pre-order the new chapter. I just don't feel there is enough offered to justify the price, though I will probably get it later when it is reduced.

Overpriced as always. Hope new servers work.

Didn't watch it, but the news about servers and choosing tutorial that's been posted means at least there's something to look forward to.

RedMuse

Loved it

Loved it might be a bit too strong, but I'm definitely positive. Especially as the companion system sounds like it'll be akin to the companion system in SWTOR, which is one of the major draws of that game for me and something I had really wanted to see in this game but thought we'd never get. Guess you sometimes do get what you wish for.

Yes to everyone who wants to be salty, I am mainly an end game PVE player, so obviously for me.. this was complete trash. If you like solo and story I would imagine people would be thrilled.

Yea that you can choose your tutorial now might be a good thing for new players, and i have absolutely no problem with that.
But pretty much nothing in that chapter is going to do anything for a veteran player who isnt mainly questing.

I seriously doubt that i will see a difference in having fights at the moment or having fights in half a year when that chapter is going to be released (and seeing how bad it already is atm that certainly is no good thing).

It just is pretty dissapointing to see that ZOS barely does anything for vets (not even going to start with PvP players, since that is just another level of nothing), but just caters to casuals with every update to the game.

honestly while im excited to visit the new zone that is it, i really have little intrest in much else for the exp.

Well you know the number one thing we read about is how difficult overland content is for solo players....
In all seriousness disappointing is an understatement. Just nothing really new added to the game itself.

it was very meh, honestly. This game is way too expensive for what you get. The character models look terrible. The game is buggy. When the emphasis is on t-shirts they're trying to sell, you have worry.

Didn't hate it but I'm not impressed, probably going to skip it. I think you should've added that option.

Out of all the MMO games this one is the best Reveal today!

So... the part where they are still doing two dungeon DLCs and a trial? Did I imagine that? Hmm. Great. I'm suffering from hallucinations now. Oh dear....

I don’t hate it, it’s just a bunch of nothing. And the second Chapter in a row I ain’t buying. There’s nothing to it besides a new zone / trial and I’m not really interested in that. The companion feature sounds useless and horrible, so a hard pass from me. Greymoor and now Blackwood just make me totally indifferent towards ESO which is... sad.

Wolfpaw

Not a fan of the streams, didn't watch. Looking for write-up.

The dungeon DLCs don’t have to do anything with the Chapter though (except the storyline). The dungeon DLCs are not part of the Chapter and you have to buy them separately or be subbed to ESO+.

The 2 dungeon DLCs are obviously not part of the chapter though, so they dont really belong into a discussion about it.

And yea there is a trial coming, which is obviously nice for those that do trials, but for someone like me who nearly only plays PvP in this game there is absolutely zero coming from this chapter, which was not the case for all the previous ones.

In Morrowind you had Warden added as new class;
In Summerset you at least had the Psijic Skill Line;
In Elsweyr you had Necromancer added and
In Greymoor you had Antiquities.

All of those things also had an influence on PvP (the influence of Summerset being smaller, but still a bit), whereas in Blackwood it looks like there is absolutely nothing coming that will change PvP in any way.
