I have not watched the stream yet, but I heard that there will be no new content.

    It's not typical for Q4 to get either one of these. It's usually an overland zone and some QoL or other game changes. Markarth just happened to have an arena to finally cover the last weapon ability for a 2 piece set.

    The only time they didn't add an arena in Q4 was the Elsweyr year, at least up until now if the rumors are true.

    Veteran players have been alienated and disengaged from Overland since One Tamriel, due to the lack of difficulty, and pushed into dungeons and trials; the minority of content in the Elder Scrolls Online. We can't take the repetition anymore, fix Overland engagement for Vet players. I don't even care if it's not combat related anymore, just make Overland engaging again.

    Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 10 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. Make a self debuff mythic. Literally anything at this point.

    Fair, however years before Elsweyr were structured differently as far as release patterns go so it's not like we have enough data to establish patterns anyway :P

    Nah, the quarterly release schedule started with the Vvardenfell year.

    Nope, CWC had AS, Murkmire had BRP, Dragonhold had literally nothing, and Markarth had Vateshran

    I was still holding onto the hope of a duo arena.

    It's possible that there's SOME activity that they didn't reveal. But considering they didn't say anything, if there IS something, it's probably not groundbreaking or even noteworthy.

    And on the subject of Arenas, what is left to function as rewards at this point? Besides doing weapons that affect Weapon Ultimates, there's nothing they could make.

    ...Unless they make Weapons that affect skills that have already had Weapons made, but in different ways.

    Weapons that affect class skills? 🤔

    iirc, both AS, Vateshan, and BRP were added in Q4.

    While I really appreciate the quality of life improvements, especially pertaining to gear farming, I can’t help but feel like this update is lacking in actual content unless something was withheld on stream. Dragonhold was the only Q4 update that gave us literally nothing, so I’m hoping this won’t be similar. I would have loved to see a new arena (duo please?), or even a mini trial. I know asking for pvp arenas is probably too ambitious but I would love a pvp update too.
