Question.....
For the people who do like these sorts of card games, what is your opinion on the card game itself?
(Separate from the fact it is the once-per-year major chapter feature)

Now we are at a point where we all feel like that money is being siphoned away into a new ZOS project and ESO is being neglected.
A card game is ok, but it's not a primary system to advertise with a new chapter, it's a secondary thing.
At this point if ZOS was my girlfriend I would be concerned she's cheating on me.
Thank you for that! I’m glad that as a stand-alone card game it is good. I’m on console so no access to PTS.wenchmore420b14_ESO wrote: »Question.....

I'll be honest. I went into PTS still jaded and angry at ZoS over AwA and their silence on the matter and I am on the band wagon of "not worthy of a main feature". So, with that aside~
I was a long term Magic the Gathering player. My room mate plays MTG and Hearthstone.
The first time I got in this PTS, my room mate watched as he was curious about card game too, even though he is hard core WoW player.
First impression was tutorial was complicated, couldn't hear instructions due to NPC's heavy accent and some cards and play instructions not explained properly at all.
After tutorial, went and just played around with novice NPC players. First couple of games, my room mate and I had the basics down and started playing taking turns with just novice NPC's.
Suddenly it is 3 hrs later and we are having a blast! Yes, it was fun, strategy based, and averaged 10 - 20 minutes per game.
As far as JUST the card game, I was skeptical and I was wrong. It is a fun game and I have found myself playing the PTS server more than any PTS to date. I have moved to playing other players which adds a new aspect and have had some VERY good games with fellow players. There must be a lot on PTS who like it as I queue for game and it pops immediately, even at 2 AM.
That said, I still feel this is not good enough to be a Major Feature and to be honest, doesn't add any lore tid-bits, and not sure if it "feels like it belongs in the TES universe", but bottom line, it IS fun.
Just my 2 drakes....
Huzzah!

Imo it is just a terrible time to introduce this game as a major feature. If we had received a new class, new weapon, new skill lines for each existing class, 3rd morphs.... etc. any of these would have been great and then next year a “non-combat” major feature would have been far more welcomed.
