I'm willing to bet those limitations are ONLY for console. Why would they need to limit the API for PC when PC runs on separate server hardware?fall0athboy wrote: »Console add-ons sound good. They did mention "API limits", so I really hope this doesn't negatively affect the PC add-on experience.
Nope, they literally said before that all the events taking place were happening within the same year, and it was always ridiculous. And using the "we want players to play in whatever order" excuse was always a lame one because it's been shown time and again in the TES universe that time is FAR from linear. It's how Dragon Breaks exist, for example. They could have been saying from the start that time has been passing ingame regardless of where you start quest or zone-wise, with the explanation of "these events just haven't happened for you yet".HappyTheCamper wrote: »Also we may have finally received (unintentional) confirmation from Mike Finnigan that the events of ESO are over 10 years in-game, meaning the events all don’t take place in 582??
That was, kind of, always the case.
Every character can start everywhere, so the events seem to be placed in 2E582, as that is where each character starts. But as you quest on that character, time goes by, so other events will happen later. They just can't put an "official" date on them because there is no canonical sequence in which they take place, and are different for each character.
Though it's possible that they may stretch out official dates at some point, creating a canonical version of events that may be different from what your character experienced.
