How do you feel about new new main feature of new chapter (Tales of Tribute card game)?

EF321

They can't balance pve and pvp separately, but they can balance two separate games?

i was hoping for a new class or a new skill line to level.

Malthorne

Well I guess the fishing skiff that GW2 end of dragons players are getting doesn’t sound so bad now by comparison. At least they get to float around on the water and do stuff.

RaddlemanNumber7

No interest in this whatsoever

I don't hate the idea of a card game, but I totally don't think that should be one of the major selling points of an expansion, I'll just wait until it eventually becomes free like battlegrounds gamemode did or they add it to the ESO plus package

A system I'll be forced to use to gain transmute crystals outside of randoms. With all the crystal sinks, we need more ways to earn them through regular overworld PvE gameplay.

18 toons each. One person logs in a level 10 each time and then quits the group to stay level 10. 180 crystals a person for some quick basic dungeon grinds, 170 for the person who brought the level 10 assuming it wasn't on a separate basic account bought in the sale for $5 or so.

It's not really hard to grind them by non card game methods.

I hate the Antiquities mini game, especially the fact that all of characters, who never signed up to the mini game are inundated with leads I'll never use. This card game is just another piece of necessary trash. Much better in my opinion, that ZOS spent time, effort and money in fixing the game, rather than developing junk.

My question is in PVP zones instead of fighting what do we do now, bring out our duel decks.

As for card games, why pay for this when you can get Yugioh for free right now and slowly build up your deck not using any real world money.

I mean if you wanted to create a separate game that would expand the Elder Scrolls games and make it a card game, cool idea but not something to add to ESO.

I did pre-order the new content simply because I like having as much content available to me when my membership expires.

Extremely upset that development hours were wasted on a minigame when we have been asking for a new PvP format for four years. I thought there was no way PvP would not see some form of updated format, now I feel like an idiot for believing in this dev team. The stubbornness of the developers is beyond comprehension.

I can't remember where I heard this, but someone said a while back that it was going to take about a year or so to fix the Cyrodiil PvP issues; doing a few changes at a time and laying the groundwork to fix it.

Then in this reveal it mentioned the story was about a group trying to prevent the factions discussing how to end the faction war in Cyrodiil.

Maybe they are preparing for a PvP change for 2023 to fix Cyrodiil and come up with a better PvP solution?

They said this in 2019, again in 2020 and people keep falling for it over and over. Remember “the year of performance”

I feel like it's too early to give definitive opinions. When the PTS is through it's first couple weeks, then we'll all be able to see how good or bad it will be.

Cously

I like they introduce mini games to the game, still waiting for a pet game like in WOW. Anything that gives more to do is healthy for a MMORPG, that said I think as a selling point to the chapter is very weak, like the companion system. Need a 1v1 arena asap.

ZoS is essentially telling us to open wide and then pissing into our mouths.

No new change to gameplay at all, or addition to further characters for 3 years running, this one changing the least. Then changing things like ‘piercing javelin’ to go through block as a ‘quality of life’ improvement.. what¿ at this point, there’s gonna be no hope if they mark that change as a quality of life improvement.

You can tell they know they’ve messed this one up by the sheer amount of press being released from them to try and pull people back from realising we’ve been robbed of another year.

Look at Summerset, Morrowind and Elsweyr and then tell me this is worth £40.

I feel the card game was the worst part of the reveal.

It was a toss up between the card game & the dungeon/delves being taken straight from Summerset

I'm actually happy to get a Summerset dungeon. The card game... has me intrigued. I was hoping for more useful additions to the game though.

Nomadic_Atmoran

I have no actual issues with mini-games being added. But I feel like where we are with the current state of affairs there is far more pressing matters and much more important systems that need to either be updated or overhauled that this was a really poor choice for a Chapter Feature.

Hell I would have welcomed an overhaul of Guilds and what they can offer. With the location and culture Id have welcomed the addition of mounted PvP in the forum of Jousting Lists or a Dueling Pit where players can earn some prestige and find themselves on a scoreboard. Find something to reward the players for their time and effort in 1v1 PvP. Imagine all of the duels around wayshrines drying up because it doesnt benefit them to do it outside of the Dueling Pit.

Gwent 2.0. No thanks.

Trailer: Shows epic imagery of sailing ships approaching an island in the midst of a storm, leading to speculation of sailing or other such adventure.

Zos: Please sit in a chair in a tavern and play this card game instead of interacting with the game world.

I didn't actually think we'd get open world sailing, but I also didn't think what we did get would be this...tone deaf to the needs and wants of the playerbase and the game as a whole.

Granted, I always kinda wanted to be able to play the board games and stuff you see in game as furnishings (I wish we'd gotten this instead of a card game) But I never thought we'd get it as the main selling point of the chapter. I'm just left going...what? Why? Who thought this was a good idea? Who thought anyone wanted this?

Weper

If 70% of the cards (or the strongest cards) will be in the Crown Store then I'll be pretty much upset.

Dojohoda

Nope.

I have to wait and see.

@ZOS_Kevin

One QoL request from a PvP player that could find a use for this new card game with guild/friends.

Sitting in a Cyrodiil 30min-1h queue on console I am limited in the activities due to the strong possibility of missing my queue, combat for example.

Any chance this new card game system could have a noticeable notification across my screen when my queue is ready? This way, me/player, can exit out of the card game and enter Cyrodiil?

Passing the time in queue playing cards with friends w/o the possibility of missing our queue would be great.

That alone would be a strong selling point for me.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that ESO is starting to delve into having minigames in the game. It makes the world feel more alive and deep. It makes sense that people in Tamriel would play cards, play dice, do all kinds of things. More (interesting) minigames = good for me. But having it be the main selling point of a whole Chapter (of which we only get 1 PER YEAR) seems really weird to me.

If ZOS wanted to add mini-games it would have been better to use games already found in ESO as furnishings. Blood on the Snow, Swan Stones and the others would have actually fulfilled a long standing request from the housing community to make the decorative games real playable ones.

I loved mtg, so I'm looking forward to an eso version of that. Honestly, the main selling point of the card system is when they mentioned cosmetics and furnishings. Sold, already sold. Say no more XD

Yeah, I'm not sure why the card game isn't getting more enthusiasm, but at the same time, we never really got some good examples of the furnishings and anything else that could be obtained, so the delivery missed the target.

If the card game is going to be successful, ZOS must offer some really cool rewards that are unique to it. Plain and simple. If they only offer mimic stones and tri-pots, it will crash and burn.

I would hope to expect a special mount to be offered, golden furnishings, etc.

phairdon

A card game holds no appeal to me whatsoever. Unsure whether I'll purchase the new chapter. Maybe I'm just 'burnt out'.

MrCaptainPants

I've tried to get into irl CCGs before and they have never managed to excite me. I honestly can't imagine me not being similarly bored by an in-game CCG. But I suppose we'll see. I will wait to see what it's like before seriously complaining about it.

A card game seemed to just jump out of nowhere, though. I was kind of hoping for more magicka weapon options, specifically so we could choose from more than staff, staff, staff, or staff. Oh well. Hopefully someday. 🤔

Tinolyn

Other because my response is not in the list:

There is no way I'm paying for a chapter if this is the highlight. My ESO plus runs out in April, and that's likely when I'll stop playing, if not before.

I don't think you realized the fail safe of the card design. The two players decks shuffle, so no matter how op the card, its like a 50/50 RNG you get it. They made it so they practically have no need to balance the game.

AinSoph

This can be considered a Legends collab, right

Pinja

I say it sounds like safe simple enjoyable gameplay that doesn't add an exponential number of other complications to other areas of the game. Say your waiting for raid to form, a boss to spawn, or a member of your party goes afk. This card game can liven homes and fill time voids that have always existed in the game.

Does anyone know if you can access text chat while in the game UI? I feel that's pretty vital.

Tabatha

I’m disappointed, I don’t want to play a card game within another game. Also the reveal seemed so fake and forced, like I was watching an infomercial. No thank you.

brylars

So is this card game like Magic the Gathering? TES: Legends?
