New Chapter Reveal

Vasoka

The reveal was amazing, the new chapter looks even better - [snip] That's two collector's editions from me. The entire stream felt like a breath of fresh air after all the vomit from last year surrounding all MMOs. Good job.

Thank you.

Why?

...a card game?

I am super impressed that they have thought about the card game, having your decks merged between the two players is amazing gets rid of potential P2W or Grind to win.

Also having match making and a ranking system is really awesome!

Really shows they thought about this system

Don't really care for the card game but I'm happy with new quest content and two new companions.

GetAgrippa

A card game. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I'm pretty disappointed in this "card game" and 2 new companions, LMAO.... That's just my opinion though. I always try to be see the glass half full but this reveal was very underwhelming!

In short:

- Fixing PvP with a card game ? ?? - Because this is how player base will receive that I guess...
- Khajiits yet again stealing the content (1 Returning npc & 1 companion).

I guess that is all... If some one likes Breton lore then It is fine I guess, but to me knights in shiny armours living in castles feels generic as.... as the mos default fantasy set ever.

I will find out if or when I buy it. The presentation put me to sleep.

A card game? That's the big reveal? This should have been a tweet.

PvPers: "Give us a new game mode ZOS!!!"

ZOS: "You activated my trap card!"

PvPers: "No, not like that!"

0 interest in the card game. And Im rather let down that after a year of the new companion system that they have only been able to add 2 more companions to the system.

The only draw for me right now is that the medieval setting and the breton culture/lore is something I really enjoy.

I guess a card game might have minimal lag.

Lore wise, looks awesome.

Gameplay wise ...

Card Game ? Could be cool of course, but kinda meh.

Two new companions ? Meh. Except for the quests and lore once again, but once you've maxed their affinity they'll be as almost annoying and useless than the others two. And a Breton really ? Well in fact that's logical and cool to have a real one but the problem is that she makes me hate Bastian even more as this annoying idiot prevents a future imperial companion (maybe not forever but for a long time at least as we will probably have a rotation of all the races before) while he has a 100% Breton history and so is nothing imperial except the blood.

And that's all. NO NEW WEAPON ! Bretons would have been the perfect opportunity to add ONE HAND + MAGIC, as they are as famous for their knights as for their magic.

I mean the PvP is pretty much turn-based already

I like very much that the new chapter will be focusing on Breton lore, most of the the designs look good, and it is nice to see a never before explored area within the Elder Scrolls world.

I don't care for the card game, though as stated in the reveal video some collectable content can be gained though it. Which means I will have to endure it if this gainable content is something I want. I suppose at least these collectables can be gained though gameplay, I just don't feel any motivation about this announcement yet.

New companions are nice.

I don't see anything I want from the preorder, or collector upgrade offerings, which feels weird since I really like Bretons.

Same, I love the setting. Just for the setting, because I literally hated Blackwood / Draedra BS, I'll fork out. I pre-ordered Blackwood, played for like 45 min and logged out until this reveal. This looks a lot more interesting.

Hi All! We also have an official thread for feedback. You can check it out here.

Why?

Story is cool and all, and the card game will be fun sure... but it is a flavor that does not have a lasting effect...

I'm always excited for new sets and story/dungeon content but it quickly loses its new-toy excitement and we are back to our normal routines... writs, dungeons, trials, pvp...

Most people I talk to forget that companions even exist is a good example imo... not that it's everyone of course... I'm sure there are people thrilled about companions but most people I know find them pretty useless and unimpactful.

The Card game is... cool i guess? but I don't play ESO to play cards... I play ESO for it's excellent combat system and to feel like an adventurer in pve and pvp.

I'm just kinda confused why this was the most exciting thing they could come up with I suppose?

Also... they are giving Card Game PVP a leaderboard??? Why can't we get a leaderboard in Battlegrounds??? We've wanted one for years and it finally shows up for the card game?

What I was hoping for was something that would add quality to the things we do daily, not just at the start of a chapter.

Maybe something like:

-Duos Arena

-Rogue Like Solo or Group content - Climb the Tower or Descend the Dungeon that gets progressively harder until you can't anymore would be so much fun to do.

-Maybe bring some spice to Dungeons and add something like Mythic+ from WoW/Fractals from GW2 for added difficulty, ranking, and rewards

-Make more of the lore playable like A 2nd Vampire Strain from TES lore would be dope...

-Furnishing Bag and more slots for housing to go with our ESO Plus Subscriptions

-Battlegounds Leaderboard and visable mmr

-New Battleground Maps and Objectives -or- Large Scale Battlegrounds mode like a 15v15 map)

---

So what did we get?

New Zone, Story, Dungeons, Trials - the normal formula

+ New Companions and a Card Game....

It's pretty much just more of the same stuff... I was hoping they would just be a little more innovative and focus on that content we do daily instead of the content we will do once or a few times and then forget about.

It just looks all... uninteresting in terms of developing the gameplay... The story looks super cool, absolutely... the new zone and themes.... absolutely... excited for that but it's something I'll complete and then.... what.... Back to the same routine.... Same Daily routines...

Writs, Pledges, and the same PvP we've had for yeeeeaaaarrrrrrssssss with no impactful additions.

For players like me who want Dungeons and PVP to be more fun it was a huge let down.

We got a card game instead...

TL;DR
I'm excited for the new zone and story... but overall I'm super sad that we got a card game instead of pve and pvp innovations.

We've asked for a ranking system for battlegrounds for years and it doesn't exist... but the card game gets a ranking system? Super disappointing

James-Wayne

Been playing ES Legends since beta so super pumped for the card game... and if we get jousting as a PvP event then super excited for this chapter!!

I love medieval and the Breton lore so can't wait for this chapter!!

Sword and Magic would have been beautiful Such a missed opportunity

in general yes this is kind of funny. But make no mistake, BGs in their current 4v4v4 format having a ranking system would be an absolute joke. There is nothing competitive about that team makeup. Well designed 2 team BGs, however would have.
