What do you think the "something spectacular" will be? (wrong answers welcome)

spartaxoxo

The daily reward this month includes a house. In the description it says, "Speaking of spectacular, this house could be hinting at something special! You’ll have to wait and see…"

What do you think could be?

jcaceresw

TES6 to be in Hammerfell

ArchangelIsraphel

My guesses:

-A hint at the location of the new PVP game mode

-Hint at Elder Scrolls 6 coming out soon (and possibly us receiving an expansion that aligns with it, or invitations to beta test it)

-Hint at the background story of the new companions in some way?

ETA to add: Hint at new thieves guild content coming out?

jaws343

My guess is it is going to be related to the PVP thing they have been hinting at later this year.

How? No idea.

Could be a Redguard hint for next year's chapter.

SydneyGrey

My guess: Either next year's chapter will be in Hammerfell, or an announcement about TES6 being in Hammerfell (as JC said).

My Redguard templar is ready for it.

MoonPile

Because of the location, potentially teasing an upcoming chapter/location?: ESO Alpha map (potential spoilers) https://en.uesp.net/wiki/File:ON-map-alpha_map.jpg

"Sunforge"

(Speaking of that map, god I am DYING to go to Tenmar Forest someday)

A feature many housers want:
Since it has two entrances, the ability to designate a custom entrance or landing "portal" in houses. (Potential functionality discussed elsewhere already.)

I do think the house generally is the hint and that it must be overall Redguard-themed, rather than some kind of secret clue in the house itself.

The Q3 housing feature could have an integration with the guild trader system or something similar.

After the retreat of the Sword-Singers, enterprising merchants set up markets here for wealthy clients. Perhaps you will too?

They give us the road map with chapters for the next 10 years!

LunaFlora

something housing related maybe.
a huge notable house being given away on day 3 is similar to Orsinium being given away in March on day 2.

i wonder if the new Redguard furnishings (which were on pts when update 41 was tested) will be given away in some way or only sold through the housing editor.


plus the roadmap mentions a housing spotlight for May



whilst it would be nice for it to be related to a Hammerfell chapter or Elder Scrolls 6

it seems prettyy early for the next chapter to be revealed
and TES 6? i feel like that's still years away and we already saw the teaser 6 years ago which was without a doubt a view of Hammerfell.

I am hoping it's related to the housing month, maybe they are giving out more houses this month lol

This was my thought too. There isn’t much that can top ‘free large house’ - even ‘free DLC’ has been done before (even before the 10 year Anniversary!) and that never merited a free house beforehand as a hint. And it’s too early for the next Chapter announcement when Gold Road hasn’t even come out yet. The only thing else I can think of that might be sufficient to warrant it would be another big party or event like they had in Amsterdam - maybe a contest for ZOS to fly people to it, something like that. But I think that’s less likely.

The bit about "hinting at something special" immediately made me think of its name: Sword-Singer's Redoubt. New class or maybe skill line for next year? Not holding my breath on either of those since we got Arcanist last year and the Scribing skill line this year, but hope springs eternal and all that.

Thank you for that!

It is mentioning “Update 43 (Housing System)” so maybe that’s all it’s for. *must manage expectations must manage expectations don’t get excited yet WhiteCoatSyndrome*

Oh, now I’m hoping it’s hinting at a furnishing bag for Update 43. *must manage expectations help it’s not working!*

If they are they didn’t announce it for the Daily Reward, the other highlights for that were a bunch of Crown Crates, a pig pet and a big lump of Endeavors, no other houses.

Whilst I like the idea of a new class, I think scribing may well spell the end of that.
Scribing should theoretically give everyone new combat stuff to play with, whilst avoiding the "where class change?" issues that were prominent upon Arcanist's release. Maybe they hope that scribing will be sufficient enough for people that they stip asking for new classes.

I am more of the mindset that the new house is either hinting at an upcoming event, next year's chapter, or the new housing feature.

Housing Spotlight in May. 100 seal endeavours for placing 7 furnishings! Such excitement

VisitHammerfell

TES VI Hammerfell announcement
Furnishing bag announcement
Another free house (the Khajiiti one from PTS?)

And for my wrong answer, next year's chapter is in Hammerfell plus a Redguard necromancer companion plus the TES VI location plus new Redguard furnishings/motifs plus buff to Redguard snare reduction passive plus Craglorn event later this year with double plunder plus new Hammerfell BG map

spartaxoxo

I think Sai Sahan is going to come bearing a giant crate of new furnishings. One of them will be a terrible poem he wrote for Lyris.

For those saying TES VI

You do realize that is a single player game right? many of the players in ESO are MMO players who couldn't care less about a single player game which I guarantee you will be a smaller game then ESO with much less content and a protagonist who lacks the ability to revive themselves.

LukosCreyden

@spartaxoxo you had me with those first eight words tbh. I agree.

I think you underestimate how many ESO players are interested in TES VI. There's a major overlap.

emilyhyoyeon

As someone who's been waiting since the day TES5 was revealed for the reveal of TES6, the announcement of TES6 in Hammerfell would be ''something special'' to me for sure. But it doesn't feel like it would be for the larger ESO audience, even though a lot of us are from the single player titles.
It could be anything anyone's mentioned so far and I'd be excited though.

There are far more people who played Morrowind Oblivion or Skyrim before picking up ESO or ESO first players interested in TES VI then there are people who are playing just to play an MMO. Why do you think people get so excited for nostalgic things,, it's bc they played other games first.

My money would be on a Q3 Furniture Bag feature, akin to the ESO+ Craft Bag. Can't think of any downsides -- free up inventory space and eliminate the need for a designated decorator mule toon or designated furniture storage houses.

Blood_again

The house name is "Sword-Singer’s Redoubt"
Sword Singers are an order of warriors, so this house belongs to a group, not a person.
I hope it is a hint to the update 43, that will be... Guild Houses

freespirit

Something "spectacular" "housing related....

More spaces.

Furniture bag/furniture decon.

A proper Guild House, with extra space and larger visitor numbers.

Any of the above would make me very happy!!

I'm not sure you realize how many people who play ESO played it because they played Skyrim and the rest of the franchise first. In fact, I'd make a strong guess that MOST ESO players also play multiple single player games along side ESO, because they enjoy the role playing element more than they do the MMO element.

ESO's player base is pretty eclectic compared to your traditional MMO player base. A lot of us don't even play ESO as an "MMO" per se, but instead, as a single player game where it just so happens to be easy to link up with friends if you want XD

Besides, most of us are waiting for TES 6 with baited breath- ZOS and BGS aren't going to turn down an opportunity to market it to a large, already established player base who are clearly fans of the TES franchise.

Furnishings bag!

Given that May is the "Housing Spotlight", and we've had Wrothgar and Thieves Guild Spotlights so far, the "something special" is probably like those other two. As in, free stuff tied to achievements and housing.

Yeah.

A common thing you hear in the starter zones is, "So this isn't like Skyrim?"

They're not completely dissimilar but both the existence of classes and combat are a change.
